enjoyment The little woman held
the silk mantle, the faldetta of Malta,
over her head, which duttered in the
wind.
The couple concluded their colloquy,
with many mods of mutual understand
ing, and much animated gesticulation,
then walked on slowly.
DIR. Busatti recognized his mother
and his maternal uncle, the priest Of
a neighboring parish. Why did q
gloomy conviction smite him that they
were talking about himselfP Why
did the roseate picture of pretty Do
lores, pausing beside the fountain and
the orange tree, fade as he entered the
chill shadow of the street?
Good day, my uncle" said Giovanni
Battista, overtaking his relatives at
the door of the psternal home, which
was modest nook of an old and
spacious mansion.
Good day, figlio mior' replied the
priest, with benevolence.
Madame Busatti surveyed her son
scornfully, tossed her head slightly
beneath the folds of the faldetta, and
uttered a short and contemptuous
laugh,
81 have been for walk in the coun-
try" stammered DR.. Busatti, with an
apprehensive glance at the maternal
countenance.
81 know where you have BEEN" she
retorted sharply, and entered the
house.
The uncle patted the young man on
the shoulder reassuringly, and re-
garded him with sly smile of humor.

zon. He glanced over his shoulder,
cautiously, in the very utterance OF
the malediction, as if to ascertain
whether or no the saint invoked had
blighted the stalwart enemy on the
spot. But the officer pursued his way
at light and brisk pace, without a
backward look.
Detection gradually subdued the
fierce wrath of jealousy in the breast
of the young physician Why was
Dolores so portionless maiden? He
asked this question, piteously, of the
blue sky and limpid sea. In his
family, the bride had always
brought her dowry, her household
linen and embroideries, however
modest, and he had been educated to
laudably respect the possession of
worldly goods. Still he was irresist-
IDLY attracted and charmed by the
arch beauty and winning ways
of Jacob Dealtry's granddaughter,
whose smiles animated his grave and
somber humor on those occasions when
he sought pretext to visit the Watch
Tower in the country Dolores was
glad to see DIR. Busatti. She was glad
to see any visitor in her restricted ex-
istenoe. She played with his devotion

had Graded himself in the sweet de-
lusions of the present hour, without
too accurately defining the future,
even in his own mind. Jacob Deal
try's span of life must of necessity be
brief; and, possibly, when Dolores was
left alone, the heart of his own home
circle would be softened toward the
helpless orphan. He was a dutiful and
obedient son, and had never rebelled
against paternal authority, while al
ways willing to carry his fathers
messages to the Tower as an
opportunity to enjoy the vivacity of
intercourse with Dolores, albeit she
often bewildered as we'll as dazzled his
sober faculties. Not the least element
of his satisfaction consisted of the
secrecy of his course. The paradise of
little garden where dwelt Dolores was
remote, and safely hidden from all
eyes save his own. Even his mother
did not suspect his penchant and
Giovanni Battista especially feared his
mother.
The intrusion of the British sailor,
alert, handsome, and keen of eye, on
the paradise of the Watch Tower was
a rude shock to indoleut possession of
the citadel The disciple of Esculapius
was irritated and alarmed, without
constitutional irresolution being con-
drmed into swift and decisive action.
BE was dissatisfied, even depressed, by
the circumstance. After all, the officer
might never return to Jacob Dealtrys
dilapidated abode.

A clergyman in California prayed
publicly for a woman holding a city
office, and she sued him for SANDER
and secured verdict. The court ruled
that public petitions Of this character
intimated too plainly that the indivld-
ual prayed for stood in need of such
prayers and that discretion was as nee
essary in praying as in other affairs
OF life. "a little louder, please" said
man to a minister who was opening
public meeting with prayer. 81 am
not praying to you, sir" was the quick
reply. If the Jealous Californian con-
tnues praying for this woman it will
be so that only one person can hear
him.

A sea story from San Francisco SAYS
that the coal laden ship Wachausett
recently encountered a gale, with high
cross seas running. During the height
of the gale terrible wave came down
upon the vessel, sweeping her full
length. Four seamen were washed
overheard. The four men were carried
some distance off, only to be swept
back to the vessel again by a tremen-
dous cross sea. Three Of them were
violently thrown upon the deck. The
fourth man was washed within reach
Of the lower sheet, which had dipped
to the rolling craft. He grabbed It.
held fast, and was hauled safely on
board. It is difficult to say whether this
story should have been sold to a soap
factory or a dealer in cosmetics. It
seems to be strongly impregnated with
lie and certainly it is the greatest wash
ever offered to the American people.

The public interest as well as the
collegiate interest that is usually TAX

Giovanni Battista Busatti the elder
was government official, who had
reared seven children on a small
salary. Studious in taste, he was com
piling history of his native island in
moments of leisure. Thin and cadSv-
erous like his offspring, he was mild
in disposition, and wholly sway ed by
the influence of his wife.
Maddalena Busatti led an existence
divided between thrifty cares of her
household and attending mass at the
parish church.
Antonio, still more slender and
dusly than his elder brother,
was student of law at the Lyceum
and University. Five docile and
swarthy young sisters completed the
domestic circle.
Doctor Busatti took his accustomed
seat at the table, and kept vigilant
eye on his mother. The good
humored gossip of the uncle, who
shared the meal, did not divert him
from the suspicion that something UNI
usual had happened to excite the rul-
ing spirit of the place.
He had not long to wait. Signora
Busatti, after talking with her custo-
mary volubility on indifferent topics
during the first portion of the meal
placed her two plump arms on the
table and announced, with a compre-
hensive glance at her numerous off
spring, Giovanni Battista must select
a wife.
Yes A good wife aids physician
to win the confidence of the commune
ty," added the priest
II was already married at your age, 4"
echoed the father.
Antonio smiled with the supercilious
smirk of adolescence and dipped a
morsel of bread in olive oil. The
swarthy little sisters giggled and
nudged each other
"1here is plenty of time" said Doc
tor Busatti, in feeble protest, and feel
ing himself surrounded by domestic
conspirators
There is no time to lose," rejoined
the mother.
~ am in no haste to We'd" demur-
red the son, wiping his brow with
visible dread of arousing family
wrath. 81 can very we'll wait for an
other year"
Then Maddalena Busatti planted her
elbows yet more firmly on the table,
and spoke at length. The uncle was
present to support her in unfolding
her matrimonial schemes, but she re-
quired no aid, spiritual or temporal.
She was a host in herself She had
found a suitable daughter-in-law in the
plump heiress of certain wine mer-
chant down at the Port, Caterina
Vacelli by name.
"Caterina Vacelli?' repeated DR..
Busatti, in troubled accents. 81 have
never seen the girl"
Your uncle knows her well. He
baptized her in infancy" was the glib
response.
rs she pretty9" inquired the sutton,
dolefully.
"As pretty as your own sisters"
affirmed Madame Busatti with enthu-
siasm.
The five maidens again tit
tered, and whispered together,
much hattered by the unex-
pected compliment, while Antonio
dipped another morsel of bread in oil,
munched the delicacy slowly, and

Col. John A. Cockerill, in his last
setter from Yokohama to the New York
Herald, says that everything in Japan
Is for country; everything for the noble
emperor" He also gives many Incl
dents showing the unselfsh patriotism
Of the Japanese soldiers anxious to die
for their country, and parents rejolc-
ing rather than mourning over their
sons killed in battle. 1t is not surpris-
ing that the victory should be with such
people In their war with China. They
represent just tho opposite of the Chi
nese, who have no respect for their SOL
diers, and treat them little better than
slaves.

scrutinized them in turn with tina
latent fraternal derision observable il
the youth of all races at times.
There is fine wedding-dowry, m,
son." continued the mother, impressive
| ly. "The wine merchant will no
stint the supply of linen to becom,
connected with our family"
DR.. Busatti sighed deeply, and shool
his head.
'We will speak of the matter later
another day." he said, with gesture
of indignation.
Here the mothers patience became
too severely tried; her black eyes
snapped angrily.
"Caterina Vacelli will be won by
another while you wait" she cried
shrilly, and without finding it neces-
sary to explain that she had made all
requisite overtures in the name of her
eldest born. 1.-THE grandchild of that
hereto, Jacob Dealtry, has bewitched
thee, Giovanni Battista; fool that thou
art! Have no eyes? Do not attempt
to deceive me! All, know all! 1t is
true that the girl has had some in
struction from the Sisters and attends
church, especially on Festas, but
she is without penny. A fine bride
for my son, truly! The other day she
took her mothers wedding chain to
the Monte di Pieta and actually
pawned it to buy some finery."
DIR. Busatti WINGED and his brow
clouded, yet he remained silent
His father rubbed his chin medita-
lively and regarded him with a quizzi-
cal expression which said more elo-
quently than words: $50 this is the
secret of your willingness to carry
archaeological treasures to the Watch
Tower? Your mother is more clever
than the devil about finding out
things, and it is useless to resist her. I"
The meal over, the uncle drew forth
his favorite snuff box, and the family
union acquired the character of sol
emD conclave. DR.. Busatti did not
venture to inquire how that fatal
stumbling block in his own path of
timid and vacillating love-making, the
visit of Dolores to the pawnbroker's,
had become known. In the end he
submitted to the DEGREES of Provi-
dence
He was presented to Caterina Va
cell, who proved to be not very
young, and with shoulders round
ed in curve which would
have been pronounced o humpback in
a bride less well lowered.
Giovanni Battista failed in none of
the duties which his new position en-
tailed upon him. He promised to
take his wife each year to the festival
of San Gregorio, according to the old
custom. He brought her cakes com.
pounded of honey, sugar, and hemp
seed, to the satisfaction of both fami-
lies.
The hooking student-of-law, An
tonic, sang in clear, tenor voice:
Gin the wedding, or matrimonial contract,
They make this conjugal bargain,
That he (the bridegroom shall take her to
the fiesta of San Gregorlo.
Shall set her upon the wall,
Shall buy her slice Of sweetmeat,
Made Of hempseed,
For that Is the kind that best pleases
his lady, the bride"
Thus material wisdom triumphed,
and DIR. Busatti haunted the little
garden of Jacob Dealtry no more.

The death of a switchman from heart
disease suggests the possibility of a
dreadful tragedy. A man who was
acting as switchman was found dead
in his shanty, with some of the switches

before he had replaced the switches as
they should be, and 1t was only because
he was discovered before train was

Absorbed IN these. reflections, DR..
Busatti reached the town.
AS he approached his own dwelling
he observed two persons, who had
paused near the shrine of the angle of
wall, engaged in earnest conversation.
These were a tall priest, whose form,
clad in black robes, and beaver hat with
a wide brim, was sharply defined like
a silhouette against the relief of white
wall, and fat, little woman, with a
round, yellow face, and tendency to
