Gordon translated the cramped text
with a strange lurid feeling. like COM
ing in touch with an ancient past:
The character of the authors life
permits with difficulty just apprecia-
ton of his genius. Scarcely any one
compassionates with the suffering
which cries out laboriously in his
poems, since it arises from the phan-

youth he stole the affections of a Flor

discovered the affair and slew his
wife. But the murderer on the next
night was found stabbed in death on

the lover on whom it seemed suspicion

He raised his eyes from the page.

when her heart was wrenched with

from its orbid of instinct, had dis
mayed and disconnected her. The
balm she had longed for was. not

An overma stering emotion, blent of

him, beating down constraint. blotting
out all else. all that thrilled him find
ing its way into broken speech. In
that moment he forgot himself and the
past, forgot the present and what the
convent held-forgot what bound them
both-forgot grief and danger. Lon
don and Venice, Annabel, the master
of Casa Guiccioli drew far off. There
was nothing but this fragrant. Italian
forest this whispering glade above the
blue rushing of the arrowy river, this
sun -drenched afternoon-and Teresa
there beside him. With an impulse
wholly irresistible he caught her to
him, feeling her form sway toward
him with fierce tumultuous gladness.
Amor rnioi" she breathed, and their
lips clung into a kiss.
As she strained back in his embrace,
letting the tide of love ripple over her.
looking up into his face in desperate
joy, something swift and flashing like
a silver swallow darted through the
air.

and struck Gordon above the heart.

CHAPTER XII.
The Oath on the Kriss.


Teresa stood chained with horror
the cry frozen on her lips. AS the sill
yer flash had flown she had seen a
dark, oriental face disappear between
the bracken and had recognized it.
Gordon had shuddered as the blow
struck, then stood perfectly still, his
arms about her. In that instant he
remembered the scene he had witnessed
at the Ravenna osteria. and his heart
said within him: Hast thou found
me, 0 mine enemy?'
Her voice came then in a scream
that woke the place and brought Tita
rushing up the path.
When he reached them, her fingers
had drawn out the wet blade and were
striving desperately to stanch the
blood with her handkerchief. as, white
against a tree. After that first cry.
in which her whole being had sounded
it's terror, she had not spoken Now
she turned to Tita, who stood dunn

through the dizziness that was engulf-
ing him-''leave me. My horse is at

you. My carriage is near the convent
gate"
He shook his head. You have
risked enough for me. Tita-"

one of Gordon's arms about her shul-

With Tita on the other side they be-
