CHAPTER XVII.

Notwithstanding his visionary en-
counters with h~ighwaymen, Henry
Harding awoke feeling rested and re-
freshed. The bright Italian sun shin
ing into his chamber, with the clear Sa-
bine sky seen through the window,
while dispelling his unpleasant dreams
gives promise Of fine weather for the
continuance of his journey. AT an edr-
ly hour he orders breakfast served Up,
and Don as having eaten it, buckles on
his knapsack and sallies forth from La
Regina; then, passing out OF Tivoli, ne
takes the road to Vicovaro, as he has
been directed.
Now, in the most buoyant spirits, ne
makes sport of the a~pprehensions felt
on the day before; in fact, he is some
what ashamed of having entertained
them. They are but f~ancies, such as
are INDUCED in by all English travellers
in Italy, whenever their route takes
them beyond the walls of a town.

try in real life. They but exist upon
the stage, in the person of his old famil-
lar acquaintance of the Fra Diavolo;
mere romances, tales of Cockney tour
lists who, in their excursions along the
country roads, encountering peasants
with black boards and swarthy com
plexions, fancy them of the same pro-
fession as those heroes of the opera and
melodrama; a misconception which
guides, couriers, vetturini, and hotel
keepers, instead of removing, are but
too apt to magnify, for purposes SER
viceabde to themselves.
Thus rejecting upon and scouting it
as supremely silly, the young English
man steps lightly on, big thoughts soon
becoming e~ngrossed with the scenes
through which his route leads him;
for not only are these naturally pic
turesque, but classically attractive,
every turn of the road revealing to his
view some spot sacred to the memory Of

silken cord from knee to buskin-top,

hue. On his head a tall Tyrolese, or
more properly Neopoiitan hat, plumed
with the tail feathers of the peacock,
its broad brim shading from the sun a
complexion which. however, seems to
have had a surfeit of it, tanned brown
as that of the Bohemian-one, in short,
whose face. features. dress, air, every
thing, bespeak him a typical brigand.
Nor is the idea contradicted, but
strengthened, by a survey of his arms
and accoutrements. He carries the or
thodox carbine. not in hand, but slung.

the butts Of a brace Of pistols project
above his silk sash, lying ohliQuely
along the right and left wings of his
waistcoat. Other insignia see upon
his person proclaim him a rebel robber.

beyond this point, the directions of the
pifferari were not sufficiently precise.
The original spokesman answers him.
Pointing to a s~addle-like depression be-
tween the two SUBMITS of Monte Gen
naro, he says:
you'll go over there, signore. On
the summit of that ridge you'll reach
the Pratone. Cross it in a direct line,
and on the other side you'll see Val-di-
Orno. It's a good distance off, but
after getting sight of it you'll easily
keep the track. To climb the noun
tains from here you must go another
mile up this valley, then turn to your
left into a ravine, where you'll see a
little stream running. Follow that to
it's head, which is the Fonts Blandu-
siano."
"Fonde Blandusiano!" exclaims the
artist, adding, in half s%oliloquy: That
must be the Fons Blandusiae OF our
old friend F~laccus."
NO. signore," says the guide, over
hearing, and as if with the intention to
set him right, both as the name of the
spring and its proprietor. Its the
Fonte ~Blandusiano, so we call it here,
and belongs to the holy Fathers, who
have a convent not far off. So does
most of the mountain, which is not
much worth, except for some good graz
ing on the Pratone. There's excellent
pasture on it in the summer season.
Besides, there's the annual fiesta that
is held up there, from which the Church
gets its dues-ah! extracts them, too-a
goodly sum, they say
"Ha, hal" laughs the young English
man. "It's sure to do that everywhere,
whether the worship be in a valley or
on a mountain"
He says this is to crafty the peas
ant. who, from his sneer at the Church,
is evidently somewhat of an unbellever,
then. changing the subject, he contin-
ues:
"Along this valley for another mile,
you say, and then to the left, up a
ravine with a little stream in it,"
"Just so, eccellenza. You can't go
astray.'
With a giraffe" on one side and
"buon viaggio" on the other, the tray
eler starts afresh, and is soon out of
sight Of the Sabine farm, the peasants,
and their capanni.

XVIII.
THE FONS

Once more alone, Henry Harding pom
ders upon a circumstance which has
struck him as strange. This, that the
nan from whom he has just parted,
while directing him, spoke in an fnder-
voice. as if not wishing to be overheard
by the others. In fact, he did not state
the full particulars of the route till af-
ter getting beyond earshot of them.
What could have been his object in so
acting? Why afraid of openly making
answer to inquiries of such an ordinary
and innocent nature? Again, as by
certain things that seemed strange in
the behavior of the pifferari, the
young Englishman is p~erplexed, and
feels some slight return of Ills appre-
tensions on the day and night preced-
ing. But again. as upon these, he finds
he has been correctly informed. Sure
enough, there is the ravine leading off
to the left, and the little stream run
ming out, and on towards the Licenza.
This sets his suspicious at rest; and,
without further thought of %treachery
or bad faith-for why should there be
either?-he turns into the gorge and
commences the ascent CT its slope.
He soon discovers here is work cut
ont for him. The path is not only
steep, but otherwise difficult, being a
mere scorza, or sheep track, In places
INSTRUCTED by loose stones and cross
fiascho Of wine. he regards neither its
%roughness nor steepness. His step is
elastic, his spirits buoyant as ever-for
is he not about to drink from the Fons
Blandusiae?
Higher and higher he ascends, the
activity becoming sleeper and shay
gier. 1t is a scramble over rocks and
through a thick tangle Of trees, beset
with thorny underwood. For the ra-
vine is forest-clad, it's slopes curtained
by a drapery Of evergreen oak. lick,
walnut and wild olive. It gradually
contracts into a chasm, with sides al
most precipitous, the rocks here and
there abutting, their grey crests con-
trasting with the vivid verdure of the
trees. The stream grows timer as he
proceeds, till at length it is but a rivu-
let, and then no stream at all-only a
spring, cold as ice and clear as crystal,
issuing from an aperture in the surface
of the slope. That is the "Fons Blan-
d~usiaei"
The Englishman kneels down beside
it; draws the cap from his flask, dips
into it, and drinks. Though he has a
little brandy left of that obtained st
The hotel tap. he does 10 mix it here.
There is enough inspiration IN the wa
tiers of Blandusiae; and he stands con-
templating the spring with its sur
roundings, his thoughts carried back
through the long centuries to those
days when the Roman poet sat there
and sang. or laughed and Quaffed in the
company of Pindarus-a jovial pair.
He hears merry music now. both around
and overhead. but that is OF birds7and

done, s%upposing them to be the same.
In his suspicious he may be astray.
Still coupling them with what the land
lord of the Sibylla has said to him, they
are at least colorado. And the nor
he dwells on them the stronger they be-
come, till he, at length, loses confidence
and hesitates to continue his journey
at least on that afternoon.
He has stepped out into the street,
and now thinks of turning back into
the inn, ringing the bell, and taking
further counsel of the landlord.
But he fears to get laughed at, all
the more from having rather disdain-
fully rejected the advice he is now de-
sirous Of obtaining. Keenly sensitive
to ridicule, he shrinks from this course,
and stands for a time undecided.
What if he take a turn through the
town? Perhaps he may again meet
his men, and, if so, will know how to
act. The idea is a good one, and he
proceeds to carry it out.
Staff in hand, and knapsack on his
shoulders, he parades the stradas of
Tivoli, with eyes wide open, glancing
hither and thither in search of street
musicians. No one takes particular
notice of him thus equipped or thus
acting. Tourists, with scrip and wal
let, are ordinary personages in this
slow place-seen in it's streets eyery
day in the year. He meets many
peasants dressed in the garb of the
Abruzzi; even pifferari, but not the
pair he is looking for.
After all it may have been an illu-
sion, and the poor fellows he has sus-
pected innocent of evil intentions to-
wards him. In all likelihood, they are
still on their road to Rome, or, having
reached it, now piping a novena with a
crowd collected around them, in front
of some Madonna shrine. After a lit
Tic lultutI lcCOllSStAOu, dAu oAOCAoi
turn through the streets, he becomes
convinced Of this, a convection which,
had it reached him 0 would have
prompted him to continue his journey
without further delay or fear. But,
meanwhile. time has been passing and
now lost, he is left no choice but re-
main overnight in Tivoli. He could
not reach Val di Orno, even were it
nearer than the landlord of the Sibylla
said, and the road of the smoothest.
There is no alternative for him but
stay in Tivoli, and in Tivola he stays.
Not in the inn where he ate luncheon,
but a rival establishment, by name La
Regina. For, after SO determinedly
leaving the former, he dislikes return
ing to it, and takes up his quarters at
the more aristocratic locanda, the only
other in the place, excepting some os-
terias of low pretensions and not very
high repute.
In the Regina he gets supper and a
soft bed, Oh which he reposes peaceful
ly, though not dreamlessly, for he has
a vision of being beset by bandits, and
not only robbed of his money-not
much-but threatened with the loss of
his life, which is everything. In short,
throughout all the night, he fancies
himself surrounded by cu~t-throats,
among them the two pifferari, no longer
with pipes in their hands, but pistols,
which they hold to his head, crying out
in continuous and irritating repetition:
"Faccia in terra!'-a phrase that, rem
dered into English of the Turpinite idi-
liveri"

SPILLED THEIR WnISKEY.
A Story Of Twenty. Years
Ago.

The prohibitory laws against
the introduction and sale Of intox-
icants in the Indian Territory has
been the cause OF many funny
escapade, and caused the citizens
of this country to resort to many
an ingenious device to get whis-
key for "home consumption" A
great many good citizens who new
or sold drop of liquor in their
lives were frequently put to troub-
BILE and expense by the United
States deputy marshals who
watched and dogged the footsteps
OF Cherokees who had occasion to
visit the neighboring towns along
the line. Judge +. M. Burlington
told story the other day of his
experiences about 20 years ago in
trying to get from Southwest City
with a few gallons for himself and
Z neighbors that, at this date Is OF
interest. Burlington and Jim Car
selowey went to Southwest City q
few days before Christmas TO pur-
chase -four and other articles that
could be purchased cheaper there
than here. Among the articles
several sacks of bran for feed were
bought and the Jugs Of whiskey
placed among the sacks to save
breakage. When they reached
Cowskin prairie on the Cherokee
side they were overtaken by a
we'll known deputy marshal for
the Fort Sn.;.,.n court who insisted
on searching the wagon. Bufiing'
ton stood him off with revolver
while Carselcwey broke the jugs
and spilled the whiskey, so when
the officer fiaally went through the
wagon he iound nothing but the
smell of whiskey.
When they reached home I
number of their neighbors were OF
hand waiting Tor their return ant
were much disappointed at tn
state OF affairs, but TO make mos
of a bad matter, pressed the liquo
out of the bran, and apparentl,
not a drop had been lost, al
had been absorbed. They OBJ

FIERCE BALL GAME.

Ground between the Eufaulas and
three opposing towns came off as
advertised.
The two sides afrayed them
selves according to rules. The
ball was tossed up and the game
commenced by the two teams
unanimously rushing upon each
other, and for two hours a bloody
battle ragged without regard TO the
location Of the ball. The Indian
ball stick is an ugly weapon, and
when the spectators finally charged
the combatants on horses and sue
ceeded with great difficulty IN sep
arating them, nearly every ball
player was bloody. No bones
were broken, but much blood
flowed. The game never got be-
yond the first toss.
No wonder that players are
sometimes killed in Indian ball
