The story of the man deserted by his
wife was similar to that of the
faithless Blanca and the forsaken
Guido that Hagar dreaded lest Bardi
should learn the secret of the con-
cealed dagger and repeat the Cinque
de Cento tragedy of FiesoIe. With this
idea in her mind, she wished the
Italian to depart ignorant of the devil
ish ingenuity of the cross. But fate
willed that in her despite .Bardi should
gain the evil knowledge. He learned
it forthwith from the. lips OF Bolker.
"Hullo" cried that imp, as he en-
tered the shop, to see .Carlino holding
the crucifx. You have got that dag

while Hagar was left to bewail the
perverse fate which had sent the
talkative lad to Bardi at so critical
moment. However, 1t was not her
fault that he had gained the fatal
knowledge; nor could 1t be laid to her
charge If he did use the crqcifx-
dagger to kill Gemma and Pietro.

Italian, she read the papers to see If

In the meanwhile ,Bardi. his heart
filed with vengeful hatred was track

with dogged persistence. The cost of
his travels was little, as his profession
was that Of an organ grinder, and with
his box of music he could earn his
livelihood on the road Whither they
had gone he did not learn for a long
time; but at length he ascertained defi-
nitely that the pair were In the south

an organ man also, and with Gemma

Gemma, in the gay colors of her Nea-
politan garb, stood grinding Italian
melodies out of the organ. Ptetro was
not with her, and Carlino wondered for
. moment IL he had deserted her, now
that the moneys obtained for the silver
crucifix were expended. The woman
appeared sad and lamentable enough as
she looked to right and left In the hope
of gaining stray coppers. The melan-

being he said nothing. Nor did the wo-

down upon them both.

Bardi, In silky tones. Has he left you?"

her voice at last. He is ILL.,"

Gemma uttered these staccato sem
tences in mechanical manner, as
though compelled to do so against her
will, under the mesmeric gaze of the
man. The unexpected appearance OF
Bardi stunned and appalled, her; she
could not think what to do: her brain

mesmeric spell which enchanted and
froze her.

way. II wish to see him.
Gemma felt the blood rush from her
heart to her face and sprang back with
a loud cry which echoed through the
lonely square and down the desolate
streets.
No, no, no. she cried, vehemently.
