On the warm spring night that our
story opens, the Cafe Dotti In the Via
del Giondo was crowded with q varie-
gated, excited crowd. The news OF
Napoleon's successful penetration into
Italy had ju reached the Eternal
City. and excitement was at fever heat.
Men gesticulated, swore, talked all at
once, and the worthy proprietor OF the
cafe was reaping q rich harvest. In
an embrasure OF q window, little re-
moved from the noisy clamor, sat
three men, over bottle of old Faler-
MAN. Each one of the three was mo-

They continued their way, the Cheva-
lier mouopolizing rs was his wont the
conversation and inveighing against
everything in the heavens above and
earth beneath, until they arrived ut
the foot OF the Spanish Staircase,
where they parted, De Carnelles and
his protege to return to their hotel,
and Mario Cavaradossi TO wander half
the night far out into the country,
dreaming those dreams and hoping
those hopes Of which only youth and
an unfettered heart are capable.
Mario was an Italian by birth and the
descendant of one of the oldest fami-
lies of Padua. End wed with strong
artistic tastes, and the inheritor of q
considerable fortune. when quite
youth he went 10 Paris and placed
himself in the ateler Of the greatest
painter Of the time. and Of whom he
became the favorite pupil. About
two months previous to the opening of
our story he had been called on mat
ter OF business 10 Rome. and through
the influence OF De Carnelles, which
was considerable in its way. and who
had taken q fancy to the handsome
Young man, he had received commits
sion TO paint one of the walls OF the
basilica in the chapel OF Saint Andrew
of the Ouirinal. q work into which he
had thrown himself with ardor. The
Chevalier's crit icism OF his work was
perhaps just one, but whether the
TESTING remedy proposed would prove
efficacious, time only could show.
Despite the passing fancies to which
all young men are liable, Msrio's
heart was m vet untouched.

played many and diverse parts. A
few years previous to the overthrow
Of the French monarchy and the
downfall OF Louis XVI, he
was selected by that unfor
tunate monarch to fulfill q deli
cate diplomatic mission in Turkey,
His task successfully accomp ished, he
decided to r,turn by land, rather thar
endure the miscries he had undergone
by sea. In the course OF hi
journey he had to cross Dalmatia. q
country whose climate. as soft IS thai
Of Caiypso's isle, and whose people
with the profiles of the bas-reliefs o.
Nincvah, delighted him: but the ma
tional musical instrument, the guzla
drove him mad At first, as he always
made It q rule TO accommodate himself
70 the customs OF the country IN which
he happened to be. he tried TO laugh
and make q joke of II, but the con
slant repetition Of the same note upoI
the same string of the same instru-
ment in village after village torturet
his delicate ear. He fell into pro
found melancholy. and finally. couls
not hear the most distant vibration OF
the national guzla without grooming
aloud.
One evening he arrived ut q pretty
little village situated between the
mountains and the sea few miles be-
yond Fiume. His positions stopped
the equipage TO change horses before
an inn, shaded by . group Of lindens.
AS De Carnelles lay back on the cush-
ions, languidly contemplating the
peaceful landscape, he suddenly heard
In the air the sound Of music, real
music this time. IL was Q violin. and
played, as he recognized 1t once, BY
an unframed but inspired hand. The
harmony was savage, fantastic, but
wholly charming.
: Excited TO the highest pitch, the
melomaniac leaped from his carriage,
and running toward the place from
which the music proceeded, asked IN
old patriarch with q long white beard,
who was taking the air on his porch,
who the musician wys that played 20
divinely. The man looked up. hall
frightened ut the excited manner and
wild gestures Of the stranger. and
pointed to q small window one side d
the door.
De Carnelles looked In and saw,
seated upon . heap Of straw, . small
ragged boy, 9th . wretched violin,
which he was playing with mad
frenzy, but, as II seemed to the Cheva'
Her, with absolute geniua
Turning 70 the old PEASANT he %
tempted 70 draw some information
from him, without, however, any very
tangible result& At this moment
the priest Of the hamlet drew NEAR, and
with him the Chevslier was more sue
cessful. The boy had neither fathe'
nor mother, but was brought up By
charity by the old peasant who ownet

stood, and who kept him employed y

ask:

any trouble between your husband and
Mr.. Kenton?''

But,she checked herself again. Her
feelings had been aroused, and she had
said far more than she intended. She
was half laughing, half crying as she
begged Marian's pardon and withdrew:
Now Marian knew why Mrs. Baxter
had come to her. She had suspicion
as to the flight Of her servants. The
queer actions spoken of by Uncle Ben
were now explained.

CHAPTER XVIII.


The name .'Rest Haven had been
given to the house in the mountains to
which the Percys retreated from Win
chester. The first idea was to make use
Of it for only a few weeks until the
war was over. Nobody in the south
after the Confederate victory at Bull
Run doubted that peace would be long
coming. They were hardly settled when
jackson recaptured Winchester. They
had scarcely heard this news when the
town was reoccupied by a Federal force.
In the last battle for possession the Per-
cy mansion and all outbuildings were
burned to the ground. Others shared
the same fate. Indeed the flames Of
war wiped out third Of the town before
war was hardly more than a holiday.
For a few days after learning Of this
disaster the Percys talked Of leaving
the valley for some point farther south,
but just as they had made up their
minds to go Mrs. Percy fell seriously
i'll, and that occurrence checkmated all
plans for leaving Rest Haven. h
The servants who had fed from the
house at Winchester did not return,
but with hundreds Of other colored peo-
pie made their way to Harper's Ferry
and thence to Washington. Uncle Ben
was the only one left, and but for the
presence Of Mrs. Baxter the ladies
would have been in sore straits. The
slaves. male and female, were escaping
