ing to help the guests in their work of decorat-
ing the church with holly and other Christmas
emblems. AS the party were to lunch at the
Vicarage, they would be absent a considerable
part of the day.
With many expressions of regret for my SEEM
ing want of gallantry l had claimed indulgence
of Daphne to remain behind at the Abbey on the
fictitious plea that Sir Hugh was desirous OF con-
sultinz my uncle and myself together with some
speculator from London, on the formation OF a
company for the purpose of working vein of
lead recently discovered on the Silverdale estate:
The truth was that the Baronet had determined
to avail himself of the absence of his guests to
make thorough search for the lost picture, and
was desrous of helping him.

less state he stabbed him, in order that he might
be the better enabled to linn with CHASTITY ideli-
ty the dying agonies of the Saviour"
'What do you think of that?" said l, looking
up from my reading. II that isn't setting NOR
atty at defiance, what is?"
"You've hit on it, said the Baronet. That's
the story Angeles alluding to, for see! he has
put the Crucifixion scene on the tomb. But
what does he call Giotto's deed? "A zeal for
art? Surely he doesn't approve this horrible
act?"
''It would seem so from his language" I re-
turned blanlly
"'Whose example," said the Baronet, read
ing from the epitaph, and tracing the words with
his forefnger, inspired the genius of Angelo
Vasari with the idea that gave birth to that no.
BILE masterpiece, The Fall of Caesar." What
can he mean, Leslie?" he continued, addressing
INV uncle 'fNot," he added with grim smile,
14hat he. too. stabbed his model for the sake of
an artistic effect. That would be too much of a
Joke. to murder man for the sake of producing
realistic picture. And yet" he concluded with
perplexed air, chats the only meaning one can
give to his words"
He stared uneasily at my uncle, who stared
uneasily at me.
T don't know what to think of it." said my
,ncle "He certainly seems to approve Giotto's
act and intimates that he copied his example in
nainting his own picture. This must be the Ian
c1lage of madman
in silent SURPRISE not knowing what to make of
the singular effusion to the memory of Giotto
"It must be- it must be' murmured the Baro-
not a. eTT length ats quite clear to me that An
geIo stabbed his model
"No, no, it can't bel" exclaimed my uncle, un;
able to keep his chair in his excitement, and
nervously pacing the apartment "You do not
really think that Angelo would murder fellow
mortal merely to produce realistic picture"
"Why not?" replied the Baronet coolly, as if
the suppostitious act were the most natural one
in the world.
nv son-in-law!" cried my uncle.
