The unconscious party below were still
resting at the little house near the Leap.
Now and then the wind brought up the muir

Maud raised herself. She was weak and
tottering. Blu she managed to reach the
spot where the two men were at work over
the senselese form.
The first sign Croftoh had of her presence
was when her voice. close to his side. whis-

There is nothing wrong but a few bruises
and a broken arm. " he said. He will come

herent in his talk at first, but he was soon
able to recall what had happened to smile at
Maud and to mutter II few broken words Of
thankfulness to Crofton.
After a while the ~loiterers below were sum-
moned. Crofton quickly silenced their eager
questions and useless terror. San Arpino
pronounced himself we'll enough to be put
on q donkey so AZ to make the de-
scent OF the mountain, and Crofton walked
by his side. and supported him in the saddle.
Fortunately, when they reached the village,
the English surgeon from Ana Capri was
there. San Arpino's broken arm was set, and
his wounds dressed: 1t was better that he

up to Naples for n few days, so that the acoi-

Will YOU stay with me tonight ?" San
Arpino asked of Crofton. " They'll send my

wish you'd stay.
OF course. no refusal WAS possible. Crofton

moon had risen before he quilted it,.
San Arpino was very comfortable and had

Judge FuIIer,s sbape,y Hands.

80" wv @'f
The Hon. Melville w. Fuller, Chief Justice
Of the Federal Supreme Court, has been in
Chicago several days. and last Saturday even
ing he attended the performance of little
Lord Fauntleroy" at the Columbia Theatre.
The humorous rather than the tenderer pas
s9ges in the play seem to appeal to him for
bis appreciation, although, now and again.
during the first act, where the scenes between
mother ant son are particularly touching, the
eminent jurist made occasional use of his
kerchief. which, by the way, had n pretty
little device In the similitude of a pansy en-
broidered in a corner of it.
An old aud intimate friend of the Chief
Justice tells us that Judge Fuller has always
been exceedingly proud of his small, shapely
and white hands, and that if he has q fad in
the qualification of which he is exactinR. if
not enthusiastic, it is for handsome pocket
handkerchiefs, The Judge prefers o fine
cambria kerchief with an embroidered initial
or flower. but not uncommonly he uses kerr
chiefs Of Chinese or Japanese silk, and al
ways white.

Once l was out walking, and my dog. a

1t was late when Crofton returned to the
Tasso, but he was not able to get up to his
rooms in safety. There was laughter and
music in the salons and gay groups standing
about the long corridors. OF course, he was
captured, and forced to talk and laugh and
behave like ordinary mortals under the gall
ing restraints of civilization.
Crofton had told his old owl of a cousin of
his proposed departure. He was glad to
escape her society, for he had grown almost
of late to de,est her, with her head -shnkings,
her Cassandra prophecies. and now her 4

the morning on an expedition to Amalfi. The
others were going to row over to Capri and
spend the day there. Crofton could not
escape staying for one excursion or the other,
for he was still animated by the natural desire
to keep his hurt a secret. He chose Capri,
however, when he heard that Maud Annesley
was TO make one of the Amalfi party.
While all the talk and merriment went on
he could see this Maud Annesley through the
open windows. She stood ont on the terrace,
with the full moonlight clarifying her face,
as she talked and listened to young San Ar
pino. who had escaped from his dowager
mother, and come to the hotel as usual.
Down in the gardens below, an Italian boy
began playing NeapolitRn sea-Songs on his
guitar. Half n dozen people called at once
upon Maud to sing. Without hesitation she
complied, and her rich contralto voice hoRted
into the rooms uneAtthly in it's sweetness,

than her wont. The boat in which Miss
Annesley and San Arpino.- with a few other
youthful people were seated, took the lead !;
and as he sat in the bow, Crofton could hear
he did not once turn his head. She had seen
him as he descended the shore their eyes
had met. Then she had turned quickly way.
SOM words from the aunt made Crofton
comprehend that neither she nor Maud had
understood he was to make one OF the party.

by the exertion of the morning the whole

pleased. way they defled, up the narrow
road, winding in and out among little villas,
cosy peasants cots. vine wreathed walls. but
always mounting up and up, the view widen
ing and Identifying with every step. AT last
the road became a mere path; but by this
time nobody thought of the way, in the de-
light of watching the grand panorama spread
out below.
They we're now not far from the top. Here it
was necessary to dismount aud look over the
famous abyss down which the Emperor
TIberius had a playful habit of finging his
guests when he wearied Of their society or
craved a little excitement. 1t was a bald,
bare precipice, good 700 feet in height. down
which they fell into the white breakers of the
ever-restless sea. Here some adventurous
Capriot. lately returned from England. had
established q little refreshmeut place. and. z
most OF tho party were English, IL was neces.
sary to patronIze the smiling wretch aud let
him prove by the exorbitancy Of his charges
that ne had profted by his stay in the land of
the free.
Crofton~ wandered off, turned an angle of
the path where a great rock shut out the
house and the gay party, and toiled on up to
the ton, where, among the ruins, rises a
small chapel, IN which a make believe hermit
lives and wheedles centesimi out OF the
pockets of stray visitors. But inst now the
hermit was down at the restaurant drinking
surreptitious glasses of red WINE in the
kitchen; so CIofton was left to gaze and
marvel u~ndisturbed.
Presently tho soundo of voices reused them.
He heard Maud Annesley's merry laugh, and
turning, found himself face to face with her
and San Arpino.
Maud and Crofton mad managed to pass the
day without exchanging n word. She had
appeared "a obliyious of his ~contiRuity a only
a woman can. But now. at sight Of him. she

Where the HaircIoIh Comes from Used in
Covering Furniture.

covering Furnltures
Yes. " said a furniture man on the Bowery
q few days ago, the manufacture of hair
cloth has fallen off considerably. chiefly be-
cnuse 1t is not used to such u great extent as
il used to be.
Furniture covered with haircloth used to
be very. popular. but other materials have
superseded It.
And. speaking OF baircloth, many people
are ignorant of where the hair comes from
that was used in the manufacture.
The first piece of haircloth that was
made in this country was made in Railway,
N. j.. in 1878.
Two New York men were the patentees.
and II was called Taurine cloth. 1t was
made from the hair OF cattle, with a mixture
of wool.
The sources of supply for horse hair were
Siberia, which probably furnished so per
cent of the amount used. and South America.
which furnished about % per cent. The rest
was collected in other countries.
What is collected in Tartary, Siberia and
other Russian possessions is brought to
Tobolsk, where there is an annual fair. in
which the sale of this hair is one of the prin-
cipal articles of merchandise"
