indeed, unknown. They had existed
in Andrefs, whom he had despised; but
in his own temperament they could
find no dwelling place.
Late at night and early at dawn
messengers came from the Ca Laran-
igra. Damer replied to all inquiries:
1T is impossible to say what turn the
disease may take"
Andreis had written at intervals
various penciled notes to her; in
distinct, feebly scrawled, but still co
herent. He pointed to each when it
was written and looked at his friend
with supplicating eyes. lie could not
speak, for the false membrane filed
his throat. Damer had taken each
note.
ITO Countess Laranigra?" he had
asked.
Andreis gave mute assent. Damer
had carried each note to the next room,
read it, then disinfected it, then sent it
to its destination. He was of too proud
temper to use the usual small arts Of
the traitor.
Once she wrote in reply.
Il cannot see, my eyes are too weak, "
Andreis scrawled on a scrap of paper.
"Read it to me-"
Damer opened and read it aloud. 1t
was short, timid, simple, but deep
love and an intense anxiety spoke in it.
Andreis took it and laid his cheek on
It with a smile of ineffable peace. 1t
seemed to give him firmer hold on life.
Damer sat by the bedside and watched
him.
lie believed that he would recover.
Andreis slept, his cheek on the little
letter, as a child falls to sleep with q
favorite toy on its pillow.
In the dark Damer was told that a
lady who was below in her goGdola de-
sired to see him. He descended the
stairs prepared to find Veronica Lara
nigra. Sho was yelled; he could not
see her features, but he knew her by
the turn of her head, the shape of her
hand, before she spoke.
You come for news of the prince?"
he said, coldly and harshly. 81 can

uncertain and deceptive"
LET me see him! oh, let me see

him note and a telegram. The first
was from Veronica. 1t said: GLOW
good you are How 1 thank you"
The second was from the mother of
Andreis. 1t said: II have reached
Bologna. shall soon be with you.
God bless You for your goodness to my
SON"
He read them, and put them In his
breast pocket beside the empty phial of

The pure light of earliest daybrcak
was in the whole Of the vast chamber.
1t shone on that CHASTITY sight,
man dying In his youth, struggling and
straining for breath of air, fighting
against suffocation.
The poisoned growth filed every
chink of the air passages as though
they were tubes mortared up and
closed Theoretically. His face. grew
purple and tumid, his eyes started
from their sockets, his arms waved
wildly, reckoning in space; he had no
sense left except the mere instructive
mechanical effort to gasp for the air
which he WAS ncvcr TO breathe again.

thick, dark water glide by the Salute.
There was q faint light in the sky on
the east, but he could not see the east
where he stood; it was still completely
night between the walls of the Grand
canal. The voice of q man called up to
him from the darkness below.
Madame sends me to know how goes
it with the prince?"
Damer looked down. "Tell the Conn
tess Laranigra that things are as they
were. A new remedy has been essayed."
The man who had come by the Gale
retired by them, swinging lantern in
his hand. Gl

times upon their anvil. Damer looked,
up the darkness of the canal where
nothing WIS to be seen but the lamps
which burned on either side of it with
their reflections, and the lanthorns tied
TO poles before some of the palaces. He
could not see the Ca Laranigra, which
was not in sight even in the day, but
he saw 1t in remembrance with its flow,
ering balconies, its tapestricd chambers,
Its red and white awnings, its great
escutcheon over its portals. He saw,
her in his vision as she must be now
awake, listening for her messengers
return, in some white, loose gown no
doubt, with her hair loose, too, upon
her shoulders, her face white, her eyes
strained in anxiety, as he had seen
them that afternoon and evening. If
Andreis had lived she would have been
his wife; that was as certain as that
the sea was beating on the bar of Mall
omocco underneath the moon.
~ have done well; have exercised
my right" he thought. 1--WE have
right of life and death over all birds
and beasts and things which swim and
crawl, by virtue of our greater brain; in
like manner has the greater brain tho
right to deal us it will with the weaker
brain when their paths meet and one
must Weld and go under. The fool
hath said that there is sanctity in life,
but the man of science has never
said 1t. To him one organism or an
other has the same measure in his
scales" ...
He was consistent enough and sim
cere enough to follow out the theories
of the laboratory to their logical Sc
quence without flinching. He honestly
held himself without blame.
He called up to his command that
power of viii which had never failed
him; he returned to the bedside as no
would have returned to visit dog dy-
ing under atmospheric pressure. An,
dreis still lay in the same position.
About the almost invisible orifce where
the needle had punctured there was a
slight tumified swelling.
HE seems worse" whispered the
nun.
The head of Andreis was thrown
back on the pillows; his eyes were
closed; his face was pallid and looked
blue round the mouth and about the
temples. He was now straining for
breath like horse fallen on the road,
blown and broken.
'He is worse" said Damer, gravely.
THE nun, who had tender heart,
wept. Damer sat down by the bed.

from a novena in the Salute. One Of

was only then at the commencement of
his applications of Behring's theory.
The Venetian doctor inspected and
listened with deep respect.
"Why do You not try this treatment

what Damer desired and intended him
to say.

he replied. ''But you will admit that
the responsibility will be great, the
theory of the cure being at present un-
known to the general public, and no
one of his family being at present in

"We are there as your colleagues,

Damer, as he put the small phial of

The dual meaning which lay in the
words was like devils laugh in his

When the Venetian doctor had left

about 10 years ago. when she was 10
years old, as a child actress in "Miss

of drama was uppermost in this
country. Miss Lynch has gone
through all the grades of stage life.
such as chorus, coryphee, under
study, and two years ago she began
playing parts. Her training as a
coryphee is shown in her assumption
Of Trilby in the ''Trilby" quadrille.
Miss Lynch was born in Chicago.
She was the daughter of a prominent
banker in that city, but he died when
she was young. As for the rest OF
the cast in this great show, all we
need to say is that it will be equal to
the merit of the piece and the impor-
lance Of the occasion to tri-city the
atre-goers. The piece has had one
of the greatest runs at the Chicago
opera house that any piece ever had
in this country. and it is to be given
now in all its greatness.

A Davenport Boy Has an Experience With
an Electric Current.
At about 10 o'clock last night a
number of Burtis opera house at
taches were engaged in scrubbing the
stage of the play house. when one of
their number, a lad Of about 16 years
of age, named Bretscher, took hold
of the iron stand bearing an electric
lamp and reflector, for the purpose
Of moving it to another part of the
stage. The boy had not thought OF
the fact that he was standing on the
wet stage and that his shoes and
stockings were also we'll soaked with
water, and in an instant he was par
TALLY paralyzed and stood with quak-
ing limbs and blanched face. unable
to cry out or loose his hold as the
ITO volts of electricity supplied to
the lamp coursed through his body.
A brother working with him also got
touch Of the current in attempting
to relieve him. but Matt. Lamb, the
stage carpenter, under whose direc-
ton the boys were working, grasped
the insulated wire that supplied the
lamp and jerked it in two without
receiving more than slight shock.
The Bretscher boy dropped on the
floor half dead, and in fact only a
faint flutter of his heart could be de-
tected by his fellow workers. who
Immediately set out to save his life
if possible.
Saved After Hard Effort.
Mr.. Lamb began active measures
at once and is given credit by all
who are conversant with the facts
for saving the boys life. BY vigor-
Gus rubbing and working of the boys
arms and other means the spark OF
life that was left in the body was
kept burning and by that time DR..
Cantwell, who had been summoned
by telephone, arrived on the scene,
and was able to pronounce the boy out
of danger. His heart was beating
quite strongly, and soon afterward
he recovered a certain amount OF
consciousness. lie was able, weakly,
to walk to a carriage, and was taken
