Into the Fiery rit.
An American who dctcsts sightsee-
Ing upon principle loafed for six weeks
Mt Sorrento without stirring in the d.
reetion of places most travellers would
have thought it criminal to omit. His
only dread was the cross questioning
of kind friends when he got home. To
confess that he bad deliberately staid
away from all those celebrated spots
of interest would bring down no end of
seorn and denunciation upon him. But
sufficient unto The day Is the evil there
of, and the American resolved to trust
to inspiration to get him oft of such
possible scrapes. The first person he
met after leaving Sorrento was an
American woman on the train, and the
first thing she wanted to know was If
he had climbed yesuylus.

a CULVER.
ooh. tell me all about it, cried the
woman. How interesting 1t must
have been! My husband never would
let me go up, but I'd just love TO hear

whole story many, many times, plung

scribed the long drive from Naples to
the foot of the mountain and the steep
ness of the Inclined railway and the

acquaintance with this man was over
that he did not even look from his win
dow that night to see IL he were watch
ing, but, putting out his light, threw
himself in his bed with more of happi-
ness in his mood than he had known
for years. He fell into light slumber,
from which he was aroused by the i'm
preston that some one was looking at
him. He opened his eyes and stared
into the gloom, gloom not a little
mltigated by street lamp across the
street, which, owing to the lifted shade,
shone clearly into the room.
The feeling that some one was look
ing at him grew to certainty even be-
fore Westerly's sleep weighted eyes be-
held the tall and careless figure of the
Three O'clock Man standing by his
bed. If the man had been repugnant
to him before, he seemed hideous now.
He seemed to convey some horrible
threat by his presence. What was It?
Madnessp
Westerly gave 1t no words, but he
felt the moment had come for liberia
ton. He determined to make a SUI
he was convinced that he would be for
eyermore in the presence of this fear
full guest. So, with an effort that took
the blood from his heart and brought
the drops out upon his skin, Westerly
raised himself, staring unflinchilgly at
the Three O'clock Man, rose from his
bed and slowly advanced. The advance
Is slow in the face OF a cruel enemy,
but 1t Is sometimes certain. 1t was
certain with Westerly. Inch by inch
they went on. facing each other, the
man backing, Westerly advancing. ev-
cry muscle set, every nerve strained,
brain and soul and mind fixed on vic
tory. Across the room they went. hat
Ing each other more every passing sec-
ond and showing their hate on their
distorted faces, wrestling as men may
not wrestle with their muscles till the
creature went out of the side of the
room-faded from Westerly's sight. He
was gone. BY some great, comfortable
knowledge Westerly knew him gone
forever. Hardly conscious he sank
upon his bed, painting like one who has
been In n frantic race or fight.
Il must tell Elsa Sessions" he re-
membered thinking as he sank off into
a blurred condition, half falntlng, half
sleeping. But after ALL" he reflected
the next morning, "she will never be-
lieve me. Perhaps | would better keep
the strange matter of the Three O'clock
Man quite to himself"
Which he did. So II must have been

But You forever were true.

The way through the years TO that faroff Geld
Where simples for heartache grow.
Love fades, they say, when the pulse Is old.
And am threescore and ten,

Lies far beyond their ken;
For tomorrow they hide you away, sweetheart,
In the graveyard out of my sight.
So heap the roses-Gods roses-round you
And kiss you and say. Good night"
