"To-day | saw you with the child of
your sister in your arms. | felt as the
old painters must have felt when they
painted their Madonnas. You bent over
his shining golden head, and on your face
was the mother passion and tenderness
that is Gods finishing touch to the beauty
of womanhood. The next moment you
were laughing with him-two children
playing together. But l had looked
upon you in that brief space. Oh, the
pain and joy of it!''

''This evening I read to you the poem
which you had asked me to read. You
sat before me with your brown head
leaning on your hands and your eyes
cast down. | stole dear glances at you
between the lines. When l finished l
put red, red rose from your garden be-
tween the pages and crushed the book
close on it. That poem will always be
dear to me, stained with the 1ife-blo of
a rose-hke hour"
Il do not know which is the sweeter
your laughter or your sadness. When
you laugh you make me glad; but when
you are sad l want to share in your sad

ian, White remarked the city editor in
surprise | made no comment, but read
the brief document. Lascar was men
toned for trifling legacy.
The introduction which the city editor
had assigned me to write was as good
as | could make it. The boys said kind
things about it the next day before [ left.
A private communication to the city
editor read as follows:
Ten years ago | went to the island of
Corsica with my father, who was counsel
for number of prominent Italian mer
chants in New-YO who were exploiting
some commercial enterprises there.
1--WE remained there for three years.
Lisa taught Italian to me. Her face
rises before me as l write-pure and fair
as Beatrice's; eyes black and lustrous,
soft and melting and tender, with
touch of the blue sky and the blue sea
at times; a trim, neat figure clad IN the
the picturesque raiment of her island
home; cheek that the warm Corsican
sun had kissed to mellow olive; and
teeth as white as the alabaster she was
selling at the great charity bazaar where
| saw her for the first time.
1t would be too long story for me
to tell you how we began to love. Earth
holds no sweeter hours than those we
knew. 1t was the old, old story that we
told each other out there in her uncle's
garden under the white Corsican moon.
Her uncle and guardian was Emilio
Luba
4 did not know until afterward of his
connection with the 'FrdHi di DidUOlO.'
Once Lisa told me of cousin who loved
her with all the fierce tenderness of his
nature 1t was Lascar.
Our story was too sweet to last. The
beginning of the end came when her
uncle, who had private reasons for hating
my father in connection with his COM
mercial projects, learned of our love, and
locked up Lisa in his home. For weeks
| did not see her; but at last we COM
municated, and by overcoming super
human obstacles we made our escape from
the town and started over the mountains
for the nearest port. We were almost
in sight of the sea when we were over
taken in the widest part of the noun
tains by the fierce band of brigands and
smugglers known as the Brothers of the |
Devil Emilio Luba was at their head |
Il cannot dwell on the infamous de-
tails. Luba always had coveted his |
niece's fortune, and when threats and
entreaties proved of no avail ne gave
her the choice of being his prisoner in his
mountain home or of draining the Cup
of the Last Kiss There was only one
choice to make: and she died-died
brave and sweet and pure.
'Dio, carisSintoP she said softly to
me before she drank.
Then | was given phia1 of the same
deadly draft, blindfolded, and set wan
dering through the mountains The
chances of escape We're a thousand to one
If you get thirsty, said Luba mock
ingly, you can drink long and deeply,
for the Cup of the Last Kiss is sweet
But fate willed it that | should
escape, and | carried the Cup of the
Last Kiss for ten years. Luba dis
appeared, and l returned to America.
Time blunted the sharpness of my grief,
but it never drove the hatred from nv
heart nor blotted out the memory of that
little grave covered with sweet mountain

The schoolmaster added the last letter
to the others and locked the box When
he unlocked it again, two days later, the
letters were gone.
He gazed at the empty box with dilated
eyes. At first he could not realize what
had happened. The letters could not be

trembling fingers he ransacked his trunk.
There was no trace of the letters With
a groan he dropped his face in his hands
and tried to think
His letters were gone-those precious
letters, held almost too sacred for his
own eyes to read after they were written
had been stolen from himl The inmost
secrets of his soul had been BETRAYED.
Who had done this hideous thing?
He rose and went downstairs. In the
farm-yard he found Link tormenting his
dog. Link was happy only when he was
tornenting something. He never had
been afraid of anything in his life before; :
but now absolute terror took possession
of him at sight of the schoolmaster'
face. Physical strength and force had
no power to frighten the sullen lad: but
all the irresistible might of a fine soul
reused to frenzy looked out in the young
mans blazing eyes, dilated nostrils and
tense white mouth. 1t cowed the boy.
because 1t was something he could not
understand. He only realized that he
was in the presence of a force that was
not to be trifed with.
Link, where are my letters" said
the schoO1master.
Il didn't take 'em, masterl" cried
Link, crumpling up visibly in his sheer
terror. Il didn't. l never teched EN-!
1t was sis. l told her not to- told her
you'd be awful mad; but she wouldn't

The schoolmaster believed him. Moth

. What has she done with them2" he
aid hoarsely.
'She-she sent 'em to Una Clifford"
vhimpered Link Il told her not TO.
She mad at YOU, cause you went TO see
ina and wouldn't go with her She
hOught Una would be mad at you for
writing 'em, cause the Cliffords are so
proud and think themselves above ev-

The schoo1master said not another
word. He turned his back on the whining

With shame. The indecency of the whole
hing revOlted him. 1t was as if his
naked heart had been torn from his breast

ealous woman. He felt stunned as if

After time his fierce anger and shame
lied into a calm desperation. The deed
