Humphreys Sunday Frolics.

Mr. Fl. Humphrey of Boston arrived
in Chicago about a month ago. Having
been brought up on Boston baked beans
he was q gentleman of very refined
tastes. For three weeks he lived at No.

The nerve of the man almost took Mrs
Smiths breath away, but she said: "I'l]

Last Sunday just as Mr.. Humphreys
first week was nearing completion, he
began to stir up things in the Smith
mansion. Early in the morning he
amused himself by taking the break.

for him and dumping it in the alley.
Next, he smashed up few dishes, and
then tried his hand on the furniture
Next, he heat and choked his wife. For
several hours this nice, particular, gen.
tleman from the city Of baked beans had
a great time. About four O'Clock in the
afternoon Mr.. Particular seized huge
butcher knife and brandishing it over
his head, he yelled like wild Indian,
and threatened to kill every body in the
house. The women ran screaming into
the street leaving Humphrey master of
the situation. The patrol was called and
arrived shortly after with six policemen.
They called upon him to surrender
which he did at once and was placed in
the wagon where he cody lighted Gig

troll passed the corner of27th street some
one said: "Why! that's the gentleman
from Boston, / wonder what he has

The particular gentleman from Boston

he isn't nearly so particular about be-
ing with first class people as he used

Corcelli's men took up their quarters at an
Inn in the faubourg Of Lorette. AS soon as
they had entered Corcelli called for the land
lord.
"Whats your namer said he.

glance around him.

No voice returned an answer.
Corcelli repeated his question.
Then an old sister advanced, and taking
God to witness that she and her companions
were acting under the influence of fear, she
led the bandit into the cell occupied by the
young girls.
Jeanne and Isabella were asleep in the
same bed.
The old nun awoke the sister and tho afil-
anced of Masaniello.
'Rise and dress yourselves, my dear chill
dren," said she.
"Why so, good mother2" asked Isabella.
"You will know but too soon. lasten,

CHAPTER XIV.
DOM FRANCISCO.

Pietro had faithfully executed the orders
Of Masaniello; but, by a fatal series Of cir
cumstances, he had been able to save neither
his affianced nor Isabella.
The smuggler had followed them In their
fight from the faubourg of Loretto to the
Convent Of Santa Chiara, and had hidden
himself in an alley opposite, in order the
better to observe their movements. Unfor-
tunately, tho beginning Of this alley was oc-
cupied by four or five of Corcelli's men, who
hindered Pietro from seeing, forced as he
was to retreat TO the end of tho alley, what
was going on.
At last Corcelli and his men set off from
the convent, but Pietro still remained ignor-
ant of what had taken place. He followed,
and only learned his misfortune when, after
walking some distance, he saw the banditti
open the thick rank in which they were
marching, while Corcelli led the prisoners to
a calessino which was waiting to receive
them. The vehicle took the road to Calabria
and the banditti formed themselves into O
running escort by tho side of it,
Pietro still followed, for it was, above all,
necessary that he should know to what place
Corcelli conducted his victims.
On, on he ran, with the courage OF despair,
until he at last fell down, worn out with
fatigue and weeping with rage, in the middle
Of the road.
The poor fellow managed to drag himself
back to the faubourg of Loretto, where he
arrived at break of day.
He entered the tavern Of ii Cappucino, and
found Conrad still asleep there.
Pietro called up poor Cappucino.
"You have had carousing here tO-nightp
said lie to tho tavern keeper.
"Ah signore mic carissimol don't speak Of
it," replied II Cappucina; "but," added he,
in plaintivo voice, ''do you know Masa-
niellof
eyes"
"Well, then, this scoundrcl here and his
