anyone could make up a few enigma
teal words about new moon and dan
ger"
We were. of course, talking in Eng
lish. Arthur understood enough Ital-
ian to catch the meaning of anyone
speaking it, but he could hardly utter a
word correctly himself, and he always
relied upon me as his interpreter, so
that strangers thought he was totally
unacquainted with the language.
But. he began, when two Italian
gentlemen who were staying at the
same hotel passed u.s. conversing as
they did so in low tones.
Arthur BENT his head and reduced
his speech to a whisper.
But the two men," he said. "I did
not think anything of it at the time. but
those two fellows who are now in front
were talking last night Nobody thinks
that l understand the lingo, and they
took no notice of me. I saw they were

the loser, "but it will not be safe in
the daytime-the consul will be on the
track
Nov, what were they referring top
asked Arthur. Depend upon it there S
more in the old woman's warning than
you think. Why should they mind a
consul? Because you are British sub
ject! They are your enemies. Let US
be gone at oncer'
We returned to the hotel, engaged a
conveyance to take us to Messina, paid
our reckoning, and started off Just as
we were driving away two Italians
(whoSe names we had ascertained from
the hotel book were Giuseppe and Gull
lemo Ferrari) strolled up. It may have
been our fancy, but they looked sur
prised at seeing us going away, and
they Immediately began to talk and
gesticulate one to the other.
AS we drove through the town the old
fortune tellerAs pretty granddaughter
sprang out from somewhere suddenly
and hailed the coachman, who pulled
up. Running to the side of the car
riage, she whispered to me:
Grandmother says your enemies are
upon you. Beware!'"
And she flew off and disappeared as
suddenly and mysteriously as she had
come upon the scene.

Several blood-curdling tales had read
upon the subject occurred to me-

said.
That's just about it, I expect" he
replied. Il shah be glad when we're
well out of It,"
When we reached Messina we were
half famished, and at once went to the
hotel at which we had previously stay
ed and had some dinner. Then we went
down in the harbor to see about getting
to the mainland, but there was no boat
which could take us to be had for an

strolled back toward the town. The
evening was closing in, and as we
Wended our way up the narrow, ir-
regular street my companion clutched
me tightly by the arm. Coming toward
US were the two Ferraris. They must
have followed us from Catania, and
they no doubt caught sight of us, for
they turned into little wine shop.
Acting on common impulse we fol-
lowed them and took our seats at
another table. They eonversed togeth-
er under their breaths for awhile and
then Giuseppe, whom Atwood recog-
niZed as the loser at-dfce, got up and
came toward us as if to leave the
place. 1t was very dim inside the shop
and probably they had not seen us, for
as soon as he came near us he went
back and, after whispering a few
words to his companion, turned again
and took his departure.

us. Presently Guillemo rose from his
chair and crossed the room to the land
lord, whom he evidentlyskneW and they
retired to an inner room.
Both the Ferraris were wearing black
cloaks and soft hats. We were SINH
larly dressed, except that my cloak
was rather stylish one, being of a
blue color, and Attwood's was a brown
one: The place was, now almost in
darkness, as the lahdlard, who had
been preparing to light the lamps, had
been interrupted by Guillemo.
THE villain who has gone out will
try to stab you, or something, as you
go down to the boat said Atwood.
II have an idea! Change cloaks with
me! the other fellows left his cloak
hanging over the back of his chair and

The storm had abated, we took our

An English friend, Arthur Atwood,
a fellow artist, was staying with me
at Naples and he expressed a wish to

accompany him.
We arrived at Messina In due course,
and enjoyed the beauties of the island
in the. orthodox fashion. On the day
of our visit to Aetna we were prevented
from returning to our hotel at Catania
as soon as we expected, owing to a
violent thunderstorm, during which we
took shelter in a Sicilian cottage, the
only occupants of which were an old
wrinkled, gypsy-looking woman, who
seemed to be any age between so and
100, and her granddaughter, who was a
beautiful specimen of southern girl
hood, not more than seventeen years of
age.

SHE SAVED HERSELF.
And Broke the Impact of That Wild and
Rushing CycIist.


A lady protected herself against the
rushing advance of a cyclist in Bromp-
ton road, London, in an original and
commendable fashion, says the London
Telegraph. The cyclist was rushing
along at his best pace and the lady was
crossing the roadway. Instead of max
ing a detour to avoid her, the man sim
ply rung his bell and rushed on without
abatement Of speed, considering that he
had done his duty to society.
Pedestrians on the footpath and bus
men on their perches saw that col
lision was inevitable. So did the lady,
who braced herself for the ordeal and
resolved on offensive tactics. Giving
her body-not by any means that of g
pigmy--a rapid swing, she brought the
stronger part of her figure into contac.
with the front wheel of the machine
and the bicyclist himself and sent them
both sprawling into the roadway.
Then, giving her skirts another swing,
just to prove that she had suffered nc
damage, she finished her journey across
the road and turned around and
laughed with others at the unhappy
cyclist as he picked up himself and the
disiecta membra of his once perfect ma
chine He made his way to the curbstone.
where he sat down to contemplate the
damage, and finally put the thing on his
shoulder and carried it away.
