that young officer, Count WimPten,

also on horseback, while Venice was
under Austrian dominion. Some cen

there was curious iron cage, quite ex-

of the tower about half way up into
which swearing priests were locked Tor

being let down by. ropes. The e-; bells L
were five, now buried in the debris at

their music being as familiar to the We
