l thought there was yet another and was
brought up with a nasty jerk. Stepping out
softly into the street, and holding my drawn
sword in my hand, hurried towards my
abode. When had gone about so PAGES

having no key, took no notice, and went
on; but soon became aware was being fol-

ly faced round. The footsteps behind me in
stanty ceased, and 1 could make out through
the moonlight the shadowy figure of man,
stopping as if to search for something. This
was, of course, nothing but pretense, and
| had half a mind to go back and question
him. Rejecting, however, that it would be
wiser to avoid any further adventures for
the night, and that after all it was but one
man, / went on, and my pursuer did like

until finally he apparently gave the matter
up, seeing was on my guard. Crossing the
square of Santa Felicia, however, I saw
some one running swiftly a little ahead Of
me, md then disappear behind the shelter
or the small casino of the Medici which
stood there. 1 felt sure it was my shadower.
He had passed me by some short cut, and
was now probably intending to bring mat
ters to a head. Keeping well in the middle
of the road L went on, and to my surprise
saw nothing, but III a short time again be-
came conscious that l was lodged, and,
dropping into an artifce, quickened my pace
to run. The sound of rapid footsteps be-
hind me showed that my curious friend was
doing likewise, and, not to deprive him of
the exercise, L kept up the pace, until we
reached the street di Pucci and were close to
my lodging. Here | faced about and ran
back full speed at my pursuer, feeling stre
that the burst | had given him would try
all his speed to get away. He so little calcu-
lated on my change of front that he ran on
about 20 yards before realizing what was the
matter. Then he turned round and was
about to make off, when l reached him, and,
driving him against the wall, held him there,
with the point Of my sword at his breast.
Imagine my surprise on seeing before me
the young man with whom Ceci had gone
away on our return from the funeral of
Corte's daughter. He was doubtless also the
spy of the evening, and noW, with a face
white with either terror or anger crouched
against the wall, holding dagger in his
hand; but any attempt to use it would have
been useless.
"Well," | said, ''have you had enough of

sharp prick.
"AIefcyi'' he called out, thinking his last
hour come, and scrabbled on to the pave
ment.
"Be off with you, then!'' said, and assist
ed his departure with a hearty kick as he
rose. He needed no second bidding, but
made off at good pace.
