THE WHITE GoNDOLA.
A Story of Old Venice.
CHAPTER 1.


Just before Ascension Day, in the latter
part of the seventeenth century, when all
Venice was looking Joyfully forward TO the
annual festival, Carlo Matranza. powerful
Tuember OF the Council, impatiently strobe
TO and fro in q rooiH of his palace, which
fronted on the Campo San stefano.
He WAS proud, erect, handsome, gray
haired man OF sixty; his large, piercing
black eyes flasheu an angry hook at his
daughter as he said:

On Ascension Day all Venice was in ga Ia
dress. Hundreds OF dark gondofas followed
the Doge and his superbly attired retinue
in the magnificent state ba rye, the Bucen-
tarr, over the azure wa ters to the castle of
St NicoIo to witness the annual ceremony
OF the noge es,ousing the Adriatic.
Andria Paiombo accompanied the aquatic
pageant. eagerly watching for the white
gondola tor SignoT MatranZa had told him J.
but it did not appear, much to his cnagrin,
for he haG secretly Sc mt word o the Doges
chamberlain that the decree would again
be defied. Signor MatranZa took no pa rt in
the festivities, but watched the departure
and return of the flot tilla from the PiaZze tia,
hoping to witness the consumma tion of the
scheme when he had set his heart upon.
Lord wilfred shrewdiy decided that the
same plan might not be successful second
time; 50 he had smaller gondoia painted
white, and covered with black silk sa turat-
ed with oil. This he intended to accompany
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 in
tended, to return secretly for. his promised
bride.
So, early in the evening, he called upon
4Annita, besought her to wait patiently, and
all would be well. At parting he said: BE
of good cheer, da Ring; for 1 cannot posi-
bly, fail withtwo such HeFcuIean gondoliers
as Pietro and Sandro.'
''Ah! but fear TIE achery,'' she cried.
''Whom do you fear?"
'tSignor Pslombo. He i S often here, con-
stantly eeking to learn of your movements

Fight Between a Dog and Rat

Glover Is the name of a pretty little
black-and-tan dog owned by William J.
Sullivan. This dog is beyond doubt the
smallest black-and-tan in existence. Mr..
Sullivan is a dog breeder and possesses
some Of the most unique specimens of diff
ferent breeds known in this part Of the
country. Glover is a querulous little ami
NAL that might be carried as watch
charm. he is SO small, and yet he has at
tained his majority. He Is the pet of the
family. as we'll as a mouser and ratter of
no mean repute. In order that you may
get some idea of Clover his dimensions
should be given. The midget Is about nine
inches long from the tip of his funny little
ebon nose to the tip of his funnier little
ebon tail. He weighs just nine ounces and
can be held upon anybodys little finger.
At the age of 9 months black-and-tans
cease to grow. Their physical attachments
are then fulfilled. Not long ago Mr.. Sui
Ivan was awakened one morning by
curious noise and upon getting out of bed
saw sight the like Of which was never
equaled so far as history or traditions re-
cords. 1t was life struggle between Clio
yer and mammoth rat. The rat was larg-
err than the dog and was possessed with
even greater weapons of defense; but Clo-
yer tackled him. 1t was a fight to the
death, and at first it looked as though the
rat would be victor. But the dog, with
his finer instincts for fighting. got hold
upon the rats neck and in this position the
two rolled over and over, the dog never
slackening his hold until the poor rat was
silent in death.-Cincinnati Enquirer.

Queer Southern Character and One Of
His Remarkable Speeches

Over in Jeffersonville is quaint ola
character, Captain Bill Taylor, who is
noted for his many peculiar sayings and
his frequent assault and battery on the
queens English. Captain Taylor has a
collection of big words and he just drops
them into his conversation here and there
without regard for their fitness or correct
ness. Some years ago, 1t is said. he gave
it out among his friends that he was going
to have u dance at his house and he want
ed everybody to attend. But 1t rained on
that night and there were very few pres
ent. Even the musicians did not put In an
appearance. But Bill was equal to the
emergency, and, mounting the kitchen ia
BILE, he said. in loud, coarse voice:
Friends, we will have to correspond this
dance until some more superstitious occa-
sion, when the inclemency Of the weather
will not be so severe and the music will be
more deranged. By that time l will build
condition to my house and everything will
be more imitistical."
Captain Taylor is the man who killed bad
John Tucker, the Point evangelist and eX-
convict Only few months ago he was ac-
quilted of the charge in the Jeffersonville
circuit court. He claimed the ghost of
Tucker haunted him until he hunted UP a
medium and apologzed to the spirit of the
dead man. Since then he has had rest from
the prosecutions of the ghost.-L-slsvill

While engaged in the rehearsal of little
play, the performers at place of enter
tainment situated in the Montmartre dis
trict yesterday suddenly beheld a spectacle
which made them beat hasty retreat. the
actresses taking the lead, while the repre-
sentatives of the sterner sex, after waiting
q moment to protect them In the event of
en- attack, hurried after them. A superb
leopard of ferocious aspect, and quickly
recognized as the chief ornament and at
traction of the neighboring menagerie, had
Jumped down upon the stage, and. after
gazing for a second or two at the amazed
and frightened players, had bounded over
stalls and started on exploring expeditions
into boxes, visiting every nook and corner
with the utmost complacency. What was
to be done ? A council of war which lasted
a fairly long time, was held behind the
scenes and while messenger was dispatch
ed in search of the keeper of the beast.
small party, composed of the stoutest
hearts which the troupe could boast sailed
forth in serried ranks, armed with various
weapons, some of which had been impro-
vised in honor of the occasion, and little
by little contrived to drive 1t into a corner.
At this very moment, as luck would have
it, the tanner arrived on the scene of action,
and after some skillful maneuvering the
animal was captured and conveyed back
to the cage from which it had wandered.
With the sole exception of a member of the
company who was SO taken back when he
beheld the leopard that he started Violent
ly and fell prone on the boards, bruising his
thigh, no one sustained any injury what
ever, though some nerves were sorely
tried.-London Telegraph.
