And in all the duchy there are but
two black hearts that burn with
treacherous thoughts against his high
ness, setting their own infinite joy
above the honor and faith they own
him"
Nay, but are there two?" she asked

'In truth, would love to think there

"Yet we ride to Forniola,'' she said.
Yes, by Christ's grace" said Count
Antonio, we ride to FOrniola."
Then the Lady Lucia suddenly
dropped her bride on the neck of her
palfrey and caught Antonio's right
hand in her two hands and said to
him:
"When I pray tonight, will pray for
/ the cleansing of the black heart, Anto-
Mo. And I viii make wreath and

that at daybreak tomorrow the prince

Then Antonio rose. saying: What Of

Now the night was very dark, and

the plain. And Antonio collected all

lently ana with great caution, and led
them down into the plain And all
the night they rode softly, husbanding
their strength and sparing their horses,
and an hour before the break of day
they passed through the outskirts of
Rilano. and halted mile beyond the
village, seeing the fires OF the duke S
biTouacS stretched across the road in
front Of them, and beyond, there were
other fires, where the Prince of Man
tiycglia lay encamped. And Bena said:

with Tommasino, and they led the
band very secretly across the rear of
the dukes camp till they came to the
river. Now, there was a small mill on
the river. and by the mill a great COW
cred barn where the sacks of corn
stood, and Antonio, having reused the
miller. told him that he came to aid
the duke, and not to fight against him,
and posted his men in this great barn,

wing of the dukes army, and We're

among them. But Duke Valentine and
Lorenzo upheld the battle on the
wings and pressed back the enemy
there; and the duke would not send
aid to the townsmen in the centre,
saying: Ct shall be ready for the prince
as soon as the prince is ready for me,
and | can spare some of those turbu-
lent apprentices And he smiled his
crafty smile, adding: "From enemies
also wise men may suck good" and he
pressed forward on the right, fighting
more f1ercely than was his custom. But
when Antonio beheld the townsmen
hard pressed and being ridden down
by the Prince of Mantivogiia's knights.
and saw that the duke would not aid
them, he grew very hot and angry,
and said to Tommasino: "These men
have loved my house. Tommasino. It
may be that spoil his highness's plav.
but are we to stand here while they
perish?"
"A fig for his highness's plant, said
Tommasino and Bena gave g. cry of

count, f'stay up and let the others
mount. The dukes plan. if I read it

Then, when the townsmens line was
giving way before the prince, and the
apprentices, conceiying themselves to
be shamefully deserted, We're more of

with utter establishment and great joy.
And his helmet was fallen from his

sun, and the light of battle played on
his face. And the band followed him,
and though they had. for the most
part, no armor, yet such was the fury
of their rush and such the mettle and
strength of their horses. that they
made light of meeting the prince

knew what she would say, save that
she would not speak it bluntly-that

smiled at her. Then he laid his hand
on her bride and turned her palfreys
