hooking, satanic smile, the ambas
sador of true republicanism, the
champion of ancient Venetian
rights!"
Say you SOP" cried the Doge in
mounting wrath. "Then by the
grave of st. Mark! he shall be speed
lily taught repentance for his inso-
lence Have him brought before
met" he cried to his chamberlain.
This was easier ordered than ac-
complished; though signa1led to
come before the Doge, the white
gondola paid no heed to the demand
but swiftly continued on its course
toward the Lido.
The Doge, seeing this, was beside
himself with rage.
Send two of our best gondoliers
after him." he exclaimed, ''and let
them not return without him on pain
of our dspleasure!"
Thereupon two robust retainers set
out after Lord Wilfredis craft; but
f1eeting shadows of the fading day,
for the overfed retainers were no
match for such well-trained, muscu-
lar gondoliers as Pietro and Sandro.
Their light, fine-lined gondOla glid-
ed away from their pursurers as
easily as dove outwings a rock; so
that the white gondola had vanished
from the sight of the Doge's minions
long before they reached the Lido,
and they had to return batf1ed, utterly
exhausted and disgraced.
Sig. Matranza had observed the
discontinue of the Doge with the ut
most satisfaction, and returned home
with his daughter, extolling her
lover all the way.
Next day all Venice was talking of
the exploit of the white gondola. and
the Doge offered handsome reward
for the discovery of the culprit But
Sandro and Pietro were so we'll dis
guised with false boards. and so well
had the ingenious covering, aided by
the dusk, concealed the craft. that the
emissaries of the Doge were utterly
baf1ed, and could learn nothing of
whence it came or where it had
vanished to.
But the Doge caused it to be re-
ported that the exploit had been
traced to the tipsy retainers Of an
Eastern ambassador, his real crafty
purpose being to entrap the offender
by leading him to believe that he
was not suspected
Lord Wilfred had taken refuge on
board his ship, and only ventured
into the city on the fourth night after
the wedding fete.
Signor Matranza gave him a cor
dial welcome when he appeared, and
said: "The first half of your COM
pact you have bravely kept. Where
did you find such fleet gondoliers
They shot away from the Doge's
guard like arrows from bow"
"Ah, Signor Matranza! I know
you will pardon me for keeping the
names Of these brave fellows to my
self until 1 have accomplished my
purpose"
GAS you wish it, for it was nobly
done! Now, when will you appear
again? On Ascension Day?"
Eyes; if my plans are complete.
II shall look for you"
"And you shall not be disappoint-
ed
So, after a blissful interview with
his beloved one, the young noble re-
turned to his ship.
V.
On Ascension Day all Venice was
in gala-dress. Hundreds of dark
gondolas followed the Doge and his
superbly attired retinue in the mag
nifcent state barge, the Bucentaur,
over the azure waters to the castle OF
St. Nicolo, to witness the annual
! ceremony of the Doge espousing the
Adriatic.

in gala-dress Hundreds Of dark
gondolas followed the Doge and his
superbly attired retinue in the mag
nificent state barge, the Bucentaur,
over the azure waters to the castle OF
st. Nicolo, to witness the annual
ceremony of the Doge espousing the
Adriatic.
Andria Palombo accompanied the
aquatic pageant, eagerly watching
for the white gondola (for Signor
Matranza had told him) but it did
not appear, much to his chagrln, TOR
he had secretly sent word to the
Doge's chamberlain that the decree
would again be defied. Slgnor Ma
tranza took no part in the festivities,
but watched the departure and re-
turn of the flotilla from the Piazzet-
ia, hoping to witness the consumma-
ton of the scheme which he had set
his heart upon.
Lord Wilfred shrewdly decided
that the same plan might not be
successful a second time; so he had
smaller gondola painted white, and
covered with black silk saturated
with oil. This he intended to accom-
pany him, and when approaching the
Doge's barge, to set fire to the silk,
which would flame up, revealing the
white hull; then, while attention was
diverted, row boldly past the state
barge, remove the disguise Of his
own craft, and if pursued, trust to
his muscular boatmen to escape to
his ship at the Lido; and then in
few days he intended to return secret
ly for his promised bride.
So, early in the evening, he called
upon Annita, besought her to wait
patiently, and all would be well. At
parting he said: ''Be of good cheer,
darling; for I cannot possibly fail
with two such Herculean gondoliers
as Pietro and Sandro."
"Ah! but I fear treachery," she
cried
Whom do you fear?"
"Signor Palombo. He is often here,
constantly seeking to learn of your
movements from my father"
But we have changed our rendez-
vous; he can learn nothing of my
purpose"
''He may; he may! For he has
always villainous spies at work;
they may discover your rendezvous
and betray you
''No, no, sweet Annita; Danish
