He spoke in his usual brief, calm, in

is was a sigh of content; he was half
asleep; he turned on his pillows and
drew the little note which he had hid

cheek.

CHAPTER V.

When three of the clock chimed from
the belfries of St. Mark she awaited
him alone in her favorite room, clothed
in white with knot of tea-roses at her
breast; she was full Of gladness: she
looked at herself in the many mirrors
and saw that she was as fair as the fair
June day.
How beautiful our lives will be-"
she thought. poor little dead child!
II was his little hand Joined ours.
Perhaps he Is an angel of God now, and
will be always with usr'
She heard the swish of oars at the
the water-stairs below; she heard steps
ascending the stairs; she heard the
voice of her head servent speaking. 1t
was he! She put her hand to her heart;
Il beat so wildly that the leaves OF the
roses fell she crossed herself and muir
INJURED a prayer; such happiness seemed
TO merit gratitude.
Through the vista of the ante-cham-
bers came the figure Of a man. But 1t
was not that of Andreis.
Damer came up to her with his calm,
expressionless face. his intent eyes. his
hair Of authority and Of Indifference.

madame, that he Is unable to keep his
appointment with you. He has taken
the disease Of which that child on the
barge died this morning. He has what
the vulgar call diphtheria."
Andrels lay in the large salon where
they had dined together in the evening
after finding the opal necklace. Damer
had caused a bed to be taken into it and
placed in the center of the room. as af

windows than was to be obtained from
the inner bedchamber adjoining. He

draperies."
From Andrels he did not conceal the
truth.
Indeed. Andreis himself said. in a
hoarse, faint voice: 'T have the dis
ease which the child had. Cure me If
you can, for"
He did not add why life was more
than ever beautiful to him, but the
tears rose into his eyes; the other un-
derstood what remained unspoken.

Damer. II will leave stefanio with you
and take your message. l shall soon
return. Meanwhile your man knows
what to do"
Stefanio was the valet.
The eyes of Andreis followed him
from the room with longing and an
guish. He was not yet 50 i'll that the
apathy Of extreme Illness dulled his de-
sires and stilled his regrets. Both were
intense as life still was intense in him.
He would have risen and dragged him
self to the Ca Laranigra; but as he
had said he feared the infection for her
which would be in his voice, in his
touch, in his breath, in his mere pres
ence.
"She loves me, she loves me-" he
thought, and he like a coward, like a
knave. must be untrue to the first meet

"Why is IT," he thought, as the tears
wclled up under his closed eyelds. that

turned.

mer. as he placed the thermometer
under the sick mans armpit. you

What did she say? She Is not angry

"Who can be so at the misfortune Of

written and looked at his friend with
supplicating eyes. He could not speak,
for the false membrane filled 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 1t. then disinfectcd 1t, then sent 1t
to Its destination. He was of too proud
a temper to use the usual small arts Of
the traitor.
Once she wrote In reply.

Andreis scrawlcd on n scrap of paper.

Damer opened and read 1t aloud. 1t
was short, timid, simple, but deep
love and an entensc anxiety spoke in It..
Andreis took 1t and laid his cheek on
II with smile of ineffable peace. 1t
seemed to give him tirmer hold on life,
Damer sat by the bedside and
watched him.
He believed that he would recover.
Andreis slept his cheek on the little
letter, as child falls to sleep with u
favorite toy on its pillow.
In the dark Damer was told that
lady who was below In her gondola de-
sired to see him. He descended the
stairs prepared to find Veronica Lara

see her features, but he knew her by
the turn of her head. the shape of her
hand, before she spoke.

But she no doubt thought it. She bade
me tell you not to agitate yourself"
WAS that all?"
"She added-for her sake" said Da-
mer, with cold, slight smile. He was
truthful in what he repeated; he
scorned vulgar methods of misrepre-
sentation and betrayal. The heavy
eyes of Andreis CLEANED and lightened
with joy.
Thanks" he said softly, and his hot
hand pressed that of his friend.
Il will write to her." he added. You
can disinfect a note?"
Yes But do not exert yourself.
Try to sleep"
He crossed the room and closed the
green wooden blinds: he gave an order
to Stefanio and dipped his hands in a
disinfectng fluid; then he sat down
and took up book. But he could not
