horse from him and stood it in stable
beside the house, and led Antonio in,
saying again, Your coming was
known to me, my lord" and he brought
Antonio to a chamber at the back of
the house, having one window, past
which the river, being then in flood,
rushed with noise and fury. There
were many strange things in the
chamber, skulls and the forms of ami
mails from far-off countries, great jars,
basins and retorts, and in one corner
mirror, half draped in black cloth.

And you know that rode hitler to-

AYE" said the wizard, 'for the stars
told me of the coming of some great
man, and I turned from my toll and
watched for you"
What toil?'' asked Antonio. See,
here is money, and 1 have a quiet
tongue. What toil?"
The wizard pointed to a heap of
broken and bent pieces Of base metal
I was turning dress to gold" said
he in a fearful whisper.
Can you do that?" asked Antonio,
smiling.

The duke examined the phial closely
and also smelt its smell.

Then Count Antonio, who believed
no more than the duke what the wiz

it to stay quietly where he was; for If

though the danger was great, yet his
love for Lucia, and his fear for her,
Iovercame his prudence, and suddenly
he leapt forth from behind the mirror,
drawing his sword and crying:
Give me that drug. my lord, or
your life must answer for it.
the duke and Lorenzo shrank back at
his sudden appearance and he was
about to spring upon them behold. his
foot caught in the folds of the black
cloth that had been over the mirror
and now lay OH the ground and, fall
ing forward, he struck his load on the
marble rim that ran around he char
coal stove, and, having fallen with
great force, lay there like 4 man dead
And, with loud cries of triumph, the
duke and Lorenzo having drawn their
swords, ran upon him, and the duke
planted his foot upon his neck, crying:
Heaven send a greater prize AT
last, at last 1 have him! Bind his
hands. Lorenzo"
And Lorenzo bound Antonio's hands
as he lay there, log of stiffness. And
the duke turned to the wizard. and d
smile bent his lips.

said he. "Well do you requite my
mercy and forbearance, by harboring
my bitterest enemies and suffering
them to hear my secret counsels. Had
not Antonio CHANGED to trip it is like
enough he would have slain Lorenzo
and me also. What shah be your re-
ward, o faithful servant?"
When the wizard of Baratesta be-
held the look that was on Duke Val
entines face he suddenly cried aloud,
1.-THE mirror, the mirror!'' and sank
in a heap on the floor, trembling In
every limb. for he remembered the
aspect of his own face in the mirror
had come. And he feared nightly TO
die, therefore he besought the duke
very piteously and told him again that
from his hand alone could the drug re-
ceiye its potency. And SO earnest was
he in this that at last he half won
upon the duke, so that the duke Wav-
cred. And, as he doubted, his eye fell
on Antonio, and he perceived that An
tonic was recovering from his swoon.
There is enough for two" said he,
I'm the phial and we will put this
thing to the test. But If you speak OF
move or make any sign whatever, in
that moment you shall die
Then the duke poured half the con-
tents of the phiaI into a glass and
came to Lorenzo and whispered to
him:
IF the drug works on him, and the
wizard is proved to lie the wizard

with u.s. and when 1 have mustered

The wizard laughed harshly.
Let them that prize love seek that"
said he. 1t is not for me-"
~ would it had been, then had my
errand here been a better one. For I
am come but to see the semblance OF
! a maiden's face"
The wizard frowned as he said:
Il had looked for a greater matter.
For you have a great enemy, my lord.
and l have means of power for freeing
men Of their enemies
And Count Antonio, knowing that he

| Enough enough. For [ am a man
Of quick temper ana it is not web to
tell me of wicked things lest I be
tempted to anticipate heavens punish

come over me, and, for all l take
shame in it, it has brought me here"
You shall see it. then-and if you
! see more, it is not b. my will" said
the wizard, and he quenched the lamp
that burnt on the table and flung a
handful Of some powder on the char
coal in the stove; and the room was
! filed With a thick, understanding va
por. And the wizard tore the black
cloth off the face of the mirror and
( babe Antonio look steadily at the mir
ror. And Antonio looked till the vapor
that enveloped the room cleared of
from the face of the mirror, and the
wizard, laying his hand on Antonio's
shoulder, said: Cry her name thrice
And Antonio thrice cried Lucia" and
again waited. And something came on
the polished surface of the mirror. but
the wizard muttered low and angrily
| for it was not the form Of Lucia nor
of any maiden; yet presently he cried
low: Look my lord, lookr' and Anto-
Mo looking, saw a dim and shadoWy
I face in the mirror; and the wizard be-
gan to fling his body to and fro, ut
tering strange, whispered words, and
the sweat stood in beads on his fore
head Now, now!' he cried. and An
tonic, with beating heart, fastened his
gaze on the mirror. And as the story
goes q vouch not for it,. he saw
| though very dimly, the face of Lucia
| but more he also saw, for beside the
! face was his own face. and there was
a rope about his neck, and the half
! shaped arms Of a gibbet seemed tc
| hover above him. And he shrank back
I for an instant

not work then we must kill him here:
for l fear to carry him against his
will for he is a wonderful man, full of
resource, and the people also love him.
Therefore, if the operation of the drug
fail, run him through with your sword
when I give the signal"
Now Antonio was recovering from his
swoon, and he overheard part of what
the duke said, but not all. AS to the
death of the wizard he did not hear,
but he understood that the duke was
about to test the effect Of the drug
on him, and that if it had no effect he
was to die, whereas if it's operation
proved sufficient he should so alive,
and he saw here a chance for his life
,, in case what the wizard had said
should prove true.
Drink, Antonio" said the duke soft
ly mo harm comes to you. Drink; it
is a refreshing draught."
And Antonio drank the draught, the
wizard looking on with parted lips and
with great drops of sweat running
from his forehead and thence down his
cheeks to his mouth, so that his lips
were salt when he licked them. And
the duke, having seen that Lorenzo
had his sword ready for Antonio, took
his stand by the wizard with the dag
ger from his belt in his hand. And he
cried to Antonio, Rise And Antonio
rose up. And the wizard started to-
wards him, but the duke showed his
dagger and said to Antonio, "Will you
go with him to Forniola, Antonio ?''
I And Antonio answered, ri will co.

the duke.

"Yet You have done many wicked
things against me-"
True, my lord said Antonio.

1T is. my lord said Antonio
! "Then leap two PAGES into the air.
said the duke, and Antonio straight
way obeyed.
GO down on your knees and crawl"
and Antonio craWled, smiling secretly
to himself.
I Then the duke babe Lorenzo mount
( Antonio on his horse, and he command
ed the wizard to follow him, and they
all went out where the horses were,
and the three mounted and the wizard
followed. and they came to the end
of the bridge, and the duke turned
sharp round and rode by the side of
the rushing river. And, suddenly pauS-
ing, he said to Antonio:
! Commend thy soul to God and leap
1 in"
4 And Antonio commended his soul to
God and would have leapt in; but the
duke caught him by the arm even as
, he set spurs to his horse, saying:
The potion works, wizard. Why did
you Iie?"
And the wizard fell on his knees,

not see how he should escape. For

Duke Valentine leapt down from his

Drug.
The opinion of man is ever in fux.
sSSe where it is founded on the rock
ofa%ue religion. What our fathers be-
heved we disbelieve, but often our sons
shall again receive it. In olden time
men held much by magic and black
arts. now such are less esteemed; yet
hereafter it may well be that the world
viii find new lamentations and fresh
spells, the same impulse flowing in a
different channel, and never utterly to
be checked or stemmed by the censures
of the church or the hooking of dis
believers. AS for truth-in truth. who

the rest we are in natural darkness.
cropping along unseen paths towards
unknown ends. May God keep our
fOotstepSl
Now, in the third year of his out
lawry, the heart of Antonio of Monte
VellutO had grown versr sad. For it
was above the space OF a year since
he had heard news of the Lady Lucia,
and hard upon two since he had seen
her face, so closely did Duke Valentine

throat and drove his dagger into his
breast. till the fingers that held the
dagger were buried in the folds of the
wizards doublet; and the duke pulled
out the dagger, and, when the wizard
fell. he pushed him with his foot over
the brink, and the body fell with loud
splash into the river below.
Thus died the wizard OF Baratesta,
who was famed above ali OF his day
for the hidden knowledge that he had

| The the duke set -lntonio again on
! his horse, and the three rode to-
| gether toward Forniola, and rs they
went again and again the duke tested
| the operation of the drug, setting An
| tonic many strange, ludt3rous. and I'm
! seemly things to- do and to say, and
Antonio did and said them all And
he wondered greatly that the drug
| had no power over him, and that his
! brain was clear and his senses all his
| own, nor did he then understand that
the duke had slain the wizard for any
! reason, save that the wizard had har-
| bored him, an outlaw, and suffered him
! to hear the dukes counsels, and he was
| grfeVed at the wizards death. Thus
they rode through the night, and it was
| the hour of dawn when they came to
the gates of Forniola. Now Antonio
| was puzzled what he should do, for
having been in a swoon, he knew not
! whether the duke had more of the po-
| ton, nor could he tell with certainty
whether the potion would be power
less against the senses of a weak girl
as it had proved against his own. And
he said to the duke:
Il pray you. my lord. give me more
! of that sweet drink. For it has re-
freshed me and set my mind at rest
! from trouble
Nay, Antonio, you have had
enough said the duke, bantering him

And they were now nearing the gates
of Forniola. Then Antonio began tc
moan pitifully, saying: These bands

as child would do, feigning to cry
And the duke laughed in bitter tri-
umph, saying to Lorenzo: Indeed it is
a princely drug that makes Antonio OF
Monte Yelluto like a peevish child.
And being now very secure of the pow

the bands. saying to Antonio: Take
the reins, Antonio. and ride with us
into the city" And Antonio answered
