will be crowned with success. since i
have put my trust I'm God and He will

II goes without saying that Orsini could
make no objections to such a promising
proposition, and arrangements were made
whereby Gabrielle should leave her un-

which time Macheca was won't not To

The only task left for the lover was to
have a carriage ready at a certain point
and at fixed time. He was made also
TO promise that. In the meanwhile. he
would ever be on the lookout, leaving his
home as little as possible and always ac-

one OF his friends or employees.
When Orsini left the girls he was per-

though he had little faith in the latter
