Brown was staying with me a few weeks

with him an odor of the purlieus of the stock

US back the sacred bones.'
''Schtter these fedows' said the duke to
the captain Of the Guard.
My lord, they are TOO many. And II we
scatter them now. Yet Mhen we have gone
against Count Antonio they may do what
they will with the city,
The duke stood still, pale and again gnaw-
ing his nails; and the plkemen, finding the
fight hard, gave ba,.k before the people, and
the people pressed on
Then Peter. the furrier, came forward, and
the hottest with him, and mocked the pike
men; and one of the pikemen suddenly
thrust Peter through with his pike. and the
fellow fell dead. on which q great cry of rage
rose from all the people. and they rushed on
the pikemen again aud slew and were slain;
and the fight rolled up the steps, even to the
very feet OF the duke himself And at last,
able no longer to contend With all the city he
cried: .Hold!' l will restore the sacred
bonesl" But the people would not trust him,
and one cried: Bring out the lady here be-
fore us and set her free, or We will burn the
palace"
And the archbishop came suddenly and
thre-v himself on his Knees before the duke,
be ing him that no more blood might be
sheU. but that the Lady Lucia should be set
free. And the duke. now greatly afraid, sent
hastily the Lieutenant of the guard and ten
men who came TO the convent where Lucia
was, ard, brooking no delay, carried her with
them in her bed gown and brought and set
her beside the duke in the portico Of the pal
ace. Aud the duke raised his hand to heaven.
and before all tie people he said: Behold,
she is free Let her go TO her own house.
and her estate shall be hers again. And by
my princely word and these same holy bones
! swear that she Shall not take the VOWS,
neither will constrain her to wed any man."
And when he had said this he turned sharply
round oa his heel, and, looking neither to the
right nor to the left, went through the great
hall to his cabinet and shut the door. For

men caught their breath with gasp and the
women murmured affrightedly, .'Christ save

faithful preservation and veneration of those
most holy relics.
And the archbishop, having ended the mes
sage, cried: "Gud pardon my lips that repeat
such words. y and fell ON his knees before
Duke Valentine crying: Justice on him, my
lord, justiceI" And many in the throng
echoed his cry; but others, and among them

muttered low one to another: "But the duke
has taken his sweetheart from him. and
they looked on the duke with no favorable
looks.
"hen Duke Valentine rose from his seat
and stood on the topmost step of it, and he
called sundry OF his lords and officers around
him. and then he beckoned for silence, and
he said:
Before the sun sets tomorrow the Lady,
Lucia shall take the VOWS, = and he with his
tram, took their way, the pikemen clearing
path Tor them, to the palace. And now, in
deed, WAS silence; and all marveIed and were
