Pietro. But the knowledge gained in that
short month changed the whole aspect of
affairs to her. Plainly she saw the injus-
tice of it all; plainly she saw the deep-lad
plot to steal away her brand-new indie
pendent spirit; plainly she saw the outrage
offered to her womanhood.
Night by night when she went home she
treated Pietro less lovingly. Night by night
she grew more gloomy and more silent in
her parents presence. Her mouth, that
had In the past been ever smiling, dropped
and quivered. She wept at night and woke
red-eyed. The merry girl changed into a
malden OF most sorrowful and sullen mien
Both parents and Pietro We're amazed.
Not guessing the real cause of her griey-
ance, not knowing that she even had A
grievance they decided that she was i'll.
They worshiped her, all five and held a
consultation. When the months end came
they told her that she need not go out TO
she need do no work at all, that If she did
not mend they would have to try a doctor
Pippette submitted after protest because
she assumed that to be cut off from her
new-found friend was another piece Of tyr
amy. She was double martyr for a week.
while her family and lover worried and
wondered at the change in her.
When the doctor came-a fussy, greasy
haired Italian-She told him nothing of her
trouble. only sitting silent while he wisely
shook his head and figured out pill After
he had gore away she wept quietly for
hours, refused to see Pietro and turned her
head toward the tenement's wall when her
mother spoke TO her.
The next morning, after a night which
was most miserable for every one con-
cerred. she declared her intention of going
to sec the bankers wife. There was so.l4

P|PPETTE'S EMANCIPATION
By EDWARD MARSHALL.

Pippctte was emancipated. To be sure,
she did not wear knickerbockers and she
could not vote, but her emancipation was
complete. The New Woman has not de-
Mott street barracks. opposite the police
headquarters building. but the emancipat-
ed maiden was making up a bed in the
single light room of one of the tenements
on the top floor, with heart as happy as
her fingers were deft.
She was undoubtedly beautiful, despite
her decorative effect. Her blood-red hand
kerchief be 1t drawn never so tight over
her smooth, parted hair could not spoil the
sanity oval of her olive face-saintly de-
spite the fact that she was the belle of
Little Italy; her short, coarse skirt only
heightened the daintiness of her trim,
brown ankles, although they rose from
sheap pattens, not too clean; the broken
buttonholes in her waist might have SEEM
ed slovenly to the captious. but to the
seeker after lcvelineSs-au naturel-they
must be regarded with gratified admiration
because of their native revelations, and,
although Pietro sat within two yards of
her. smoking bis pipe of gloom and bad
tobacco, Pippette did not care. She was
the belle of Little Italy, and in Little Italy

whispered. that in speaking of some places
this statement may tIuthfully be reversed
But all Of this is by the way. 1t has
rothing to do with Pippette's emancipa-
ZION. 1t was Pietro who had brought that
tbout. and 1t was Pietro who had suffered
b. it.
In the bare brick building five grimy
stories high. punctured by many staring
windows, and fed by black doorways every
twenty feet or so, love and hate, mirth and
misery, run high. When Neapolitans come
to Gotham, they not only die faster than
any other race in New York city, but they
live faster. too. America throws Italians

He would cut you into little pieces and
kill you qu.ck!
That was the last straw. Pletro was not
a coward, nor was he weak man. To
have the woman he loved intimate that
Luigi Rossi could beat him in fight was
more than he could bear. 1t was like a
scene in a n.elodrama when he turned
and, raising his hand, shouted:
1T is false! 1t is an insult! You shall
see! 1 go! 1 go! I shall kill him-dead.
And you, 1 shall never look upon again!
Adieu Adeu!'
With that he turned, with flaming eyes
and every muscle quivering with rage.
His hand, quick as lightning, had already
drawn the stiletto which is ever conven-
lent. Without another glance at her he
rushed through the door, and in an instant
she heard him jumping down stairs in
great leaps.
Her gratlied vanity ended that second
Suddenly she saw the whole thing in its
dreadful, real life aspect. The bankers
wife's story book romances were instantly
forgotten. She remembered only that she
loved Pietro, and that she had sent him
emancipated. She did not want to be
emancipated. Like kaleidoscope flashes,
pictures cleaned in her mind of Luigi
plunging his long, slender dagger into Pie
tro's heart Then she saw Pietro kill Luigi,
and afterward saw the murderer dragged
away to execution. She could see as
pect which did not mean death for Pietro!
Death for her Petrol Her handsome,
moment she crouched, shaking in a chair,
with her skirt over her head, swept by alb
ject terror at what her Stiffness had set
afoot.
Then. like lightning, she sprang up and
screaming, "Pietro! Pietro! Stop him! Stop
him! Tell him that l. Pippette. am coming.''
rushed through the door and down the
stairs.
When she reached the bottom she saw
people hurrying through the hall, back
toward the course. The great tenement was
all aroused. A mumur of many excited
voices came to her ears, and she almost
tainted from fear. She had come too late,
she thought, too late. too late!
But recovering herself, she again sped
like the wind to save Pietro. Into the
