A fierce brigand of the ancient type has reduced the neighborhood of Can nes, Italy, to state of terror. Men, women and children fear to move, while whole squadrons of police SCOUT the woods and the hills in the hope of bringing the marauder to justice. So far their efforts have been fruitless, and each new deed inspires greater ter- TOT. He has already killed one man.

 On Saturday night he was seen prowl- ing about Le Cannet, another village. In the darkness he broke into the post office, but finding, most unexpectedly. that two persons were still up, he beat a nasty and safe retreat.
 Undaunted, he started out early on Sunday morning, and met three sports men, who were out in the woods for a days shooting. Being armed, he tried to terrorize them, attempting to hold them, up. One of the men promptly lev eled his piece at the Calabrian, who disappeared in the undergrowth,

Surely, the dan ger of imperilling her brother, if no other consideration, would have stayed her. With his returning belief in her came memory of her promise, and he put aside his sword
 "Your horse, Edward" he said; for Edwards mount, reared from a colt upon his fathers plantation and ever the young mans pet, having succeed ed in throwing his master, was seized with consternation and now stood with penitent, dropped head.

 As his back was turned two figures darted from behind trees, seized Worthington and made their way boldly towards a thicket from whence the shots came heaviest. The kid naping of the prisoner had not been unnoticed, but those Tedcoats who sought to interfere found themselves the special targets of the finest marksmen in the world.
 The fire slackened, the assailants were drawing off. Sensing this, the British began to beat the bushes for their retiring foe.

CHAPTER XIII.
A TEST.

When Bessemer entered the dining room next morning his keen eye noted 1ane'g absence. Are we not to have Mistress Jane with us P he asked, as he and his officers seated themselves at the breakfast-table.
 T know not what apology to make for Jane,' said her stepmother, but st seems she set out at dawn for one of those horseback rides of which she is so fond, and has not yet re- turned. I doubt me not she will come in at the tail end of the meal, when all is cold, as is her won't"
 But the meal drew to close and still no Jane appeared. Besse1ner's brow, clear enough upon his entrance into the room, grew creased, and eEhen his arrangements for depart Nre were complete and still she had nof come be i'll concealed his irrita- Non- The reflection that Jane must nave known that he could not long delay his departure from her fathers house, and the suspicion that she had taken herself off for the very pur- pose of depriving him of that adieu to which, as her accepted lover, ho was entitled, was not pleasing.
 When the troops rode out from the Ellery place the mist of early morn ing in late summer filled the air. At the head of the cavalcade rode Besse- mer, and close beside him was the prisoner, carried by stout trooper upon his horse. The Americans arms were tightly bound, while the kabre-cut upon his cheek showed livid kn the morning light.
 Gradually the leyelness of the way .kvas broken by low hills, and finally 4he horseinen entered the mouth of great forest. The road dipped into hollow, and suddenly the trees burst sd plnnsssd lnsss "a and as Vent doWn. s carrylne s5 their riders with them.
