he well content with the glowing assur-
ances OF his worship. But not even the
tongue .oosening Greek wine, which she
poured out for him from the buffet OF her
master, brought the willy Italian to the
hoped for naming of wedding day He
was as slippery as an eel in avoiding all
hints
He whispered sadly as he softly stroked
the folds Of his sweetheart's bridal gown:
Poor little brother; poor Bioudal What
would not both Of them give to possess
such a costly dress, made by such clever
fingers even for few hours How thank
full | should be and how impossible it
would be for me to refuse anything to one
generous enough to lend her own wedding
gown before she herself had even worn it
to one less favored by fortune"
Zoe gave n searching glance Mt her low
er's eyes, whose sly expression was hidden
by the half closed lids.
Tho dress is beautiful, is it not, mon
ami2" asked Zoe. 1T Ia silk and cost
three months wages, but I paid it gladly
SO that you might not bo ashamed of me
when the day is at last set for
y shower of protestations interrupted
that hint.
Il know, cara mia, what happiness
awaits me in the future" Bartolo began,
but my heart Is so curiously fashioned
that it can never thoroughly enjoy its own
good fortune as long as 1t knows that
there are others with unfulfllled desires
and sad faces about" And then followed
a pathetic story of his beloved only broth
er, a dragoman, who for years had been in
love with the daughter of poor fellow
countryman that had opened a small shop
in Pera.
Now the obstacles are overcome and
tomorrow is the wedding day, but how
poor is tho plain dress of my brothers. 81
flanced wife, how lacking in all the style
and beauty of this incompatible gown
How Mortified all the family at home In
Sorrento would be, my proud mother par
tlcularly, in whose veins flows noble Vene-
tian blood, if they knew of Biouda's linen
dress, which will make her and my broth
err ridiculous in every ones eyes tomor
row" Bnrtolo sighed sorrowfully, while
Zoe had listened with half opened mouth
and lively play of gestures
How tender ard good Bartolo isl she
thought. How easy it will be to lead him
when | am once his wifel Would it hurt
tho gown any" she wondered, If Biuuda
were married in it tomorrow to Bartolo's
brather?' OF whom, by the way. she had
never heard before then. Would not this
ms an, ie.iei ne.
make him set the longed for wedding day.
