Bayard made step forward to take the

he frankly held out his hand. l could hard

me. My breath came thick and fast, and the
whole room swan around. The man was the

and D'Amboise glanced from one to another

few seconds, and, laying the letter on the
table, said: Nothing could be better. We
should be prepared for action, although
there is yet plenty of time. Iwonder how in
the world the Florentine got wind of this?'

Once on a time spoke word
That was bitter Of meaning and harsh Of
tone
Ard it went as straight as poisoned dart
TO the very core of true friends heart,
Ard the beautiful page of our love was
blurred
Forevermore by that word alone.
Once on time cast sneer
At the small mistake of one knew,
And his soul, discouraged, let slip the rope
That anchored it to the shore of hope,
And drifted out on a sea Of fear,
To waves of failure and winds untrue.
Once on time whispered a tale
Tainted with malice, and far and near
It flew, to cast on spotless name
The upas shade of limited shame,
And wherever it reached it left trail
Across the promise of many year.
Never that word could be unsaid
That lost me friendship old and true
Never that sheer might be undone
That broke the trust of an erring one
Never untold the tale that sped
TO blight and battle lifetime through.

THE "MISERICORDIA."
A Fraternity in Tuscany Composed
of All Sorts and Conditions of
Men for Outdoor Relief

lief comes to be written it will owe
some of it's most touching, most pic
turesque chapters to the Misericordia
"a brotherhood peculiar to Tuscany,
seen at it's best in Florence, though
also admirably in evidence at Siena,
Pisa, Leghorn and Lucca, and not
worthily represented in the minor pro-
vincial towns, inland or maritime. Ec-
clesiastical in origin, it was founded
in 1914 by Pietro di Luca Borsi, and it's
personnel is drawn from every social
rank, all and individually bound to
serve whenever summoned, without fee
or reward. The grand duke himself,
when presiding at state banquet in
the Pitt palace, has had to rise and
leave his guests when his turn came,
and to bear hand with tradesmen,
mobiles, mechanics, professional men
with the company, in fact, promiscuous-
ly improvised to transport to hospital
some victim of an accident or to carry
patient from the sick bed to the SUBJ
urban lodging indicated by the physi-
clan.
The service is not one of "unskilled
labor" The members of the brother
hood have all been previously trained
to lift the sufferer from the street, to
turn the patient in bed, and put him
on the "bara" or stretcher with the
minimum of pain or of risk to COM
promised limbs or organs, and there
after to bear him through the thor
oughfares to his destination with the
least possible vibration, friction or dis
turbance. AS often happens, the par
ticular company told off on sudden
duty is composed of men as various IN
altitude as they are in social position,
SO that in carrying the 'bara'' Shout
der high they employ for the first part
of the journey those of them who are
as nearly as possible the same height,
and when these are tired they lower
their burden to the less tall without in
terruption of movement or alterat ton OF
pace, and so continue the shifting
process until the sufferer is at his jour
ney's end and laid down in bed with
scarcely the consciousness of having
been transported at all.
Few sights or sounds are more i'm
pressive in the Florence of to-day than

icordia through its crowded street, as

their husbands, and iHasmuch as every
man wears rantalOons or drawers s.

like those of a clown, they have plenty
to do. The washing is usually done in
cold water, and often in running
streams. The clothes are pounde0 with
paddles until they shine like shirt
front fresh from a Chinese laundry.
The Japanese rip their garments
apart for every washing, and they iron
their clothes by spreading them on q
fiat board and leaning this up against
the house to dry. The sun takes the
wrinkles out Of the clothes, and some
of them have quite a luster.
The japanese woman does her wash
ing out Of doors. Her wash tub is not
more than SIX inches high and is
about as big around as the average
dishpan Sac sometimes uses Jap
anese soap, which is full Of grease, and
works away with her bare feet. The
Chinese girls do their washing in much
the same way.
The washing in Egypt IS usually
done by the men. The Egyptian
washecman stands On the banks Of the
Nile and SLAMS the wet clothes, with a
noise like the shot of q pistol, on the
smooth stones at the edge of the run

clothes in the same way.
French women pound the dirt with
paddles, often slamming the clothes
