upshot was that in half an hour we had
notified the captain of the precinct and
were at the false wall hewing away with
az and pick. We soon had a great breach
in it and. poking the lantern through. be-
held sight to shake the stoutest heart.
On the floor, clad in leopard skin, with
timbrel still in hand, lay the skeleton Of
woman. Between the ribs was jeweled
poignard. Hanging about the walls were
casts of beautiful limbs and torsos.
But where was the face?
A high oaken cabinet rose against the
wall, and piled ON top of 1t was mass of
old cartoons. portfolios and Greek dra-
peries SO high as to obscure the little
window, the frame Of which could just be
detected. Putting Busac upon my shoul-
ders, bade him tear away the mass. He
did so amid cloud Of dust and scurrying
spiders md an avalanche Of rotting
cloths. There fell. dragging with 1t
Greek mantle, among the folds Of which
It lay unbrOken, beautiful death mask.
1t had slid down from its place on top Of
the heap behind and lay pressed against
the window panes.
There was a scufiling and shouting on
the stairs. and we leaped out into the
room Just In time to see our gondoier
struggling with ragged fellow, who
seemed from his costume to be also a
gondolier. Our man said the fellow had
stopped his boat at the landing stairs and
attacked him with stiletto, but he had
dragged the would be murderer out of his
gondoa and up the stairs. The man
seemed to be insane. Through the open.
ing in the false wall he stared ixedly at
the white mask, and froth gathered on
his lips.
'Mia carissima francesca" he whis-
pered.
Busac, who had been gazing hard at
the man, suddenly shouted:
"'Tis Baratazzi"'
We all drew back and left him mouth
ing in the corner He was fumblng in
his pocket for something, which de drew
forth. clasped tightly.
just then the police captain and two |
men appeored in the paneled doorway.
With swift movement, Baratazzi's
hand passed across his mouth. He start
ed as if from a blow. and. stamping with
one foot. he lcapcd sidewise toward the
white face within, his blue lips drawing
back over his gums as he fell among the
shattered clay stone dead. - New York
