The Glow of Glory.

We are all influenced by desire of
praise. and the best men are the most
especially attracted by glory. Those
very philosophers. even in the books
which they write about despisinr
glory. put their own names on the IT,
tle-page. In the very act OF recording
their contempt for renown and poto-
r,ety. they desire to have their own
names known and talked of.-Ciesse.

CHAPTER XVII.
Whiffs in the Air.

Some time after midday, Mr.. Barnes,
in pursuit of Anstruther. reaches
Ponte-alla-Lecchia. where the people
are now crowding about the polling
house. He doesn't stop here and con-
tinues rapidly on, Notwithstanding the
sun is very hot, the dust is very heavy.

rosaglia, he commences to find cycla-
men flowers. quite faded now and hav-

Then as Anstruther lights another
match, shrek rises to them: The
husband of Marina. Madre di Dfo!"
'Tomasso!" exclaims Edwin. add

wife? ?"

told Marina, but when got out to
water the horses at the little fountain
up near Pietra, two OF them struck me
insensible and / awoke and found my
self here. But, Signore. / beg you to
note one thing. Your true wife and
my honored mistress believes she was
rescued from the Lucchese' by Cipri-
ano Danella, and she is grateful to
him. Get me to the light that may
aid you" The old Corsican has faint
ly staggered up; moment later he is
pulled from the vault by the strong
hands of Anstruther and the detective.
This is old Tomasso Monaldi." Gays
Edwin shortly, who was supposed to
be killed"
Holy smoke, the fellow who was
believed dead and they vendettaed
Barnes about!"
Yes
But Tomasso's words make them
feel they have little time to lose. Be-

with white lips: This tower is

stairs. carefully examining every orr
fice in the building, but find them all

to be broken through in any ordinary
time. as the building is bare of tools
and weapons.
There is nothing but to get out of
the upper chamber" says Edwin. 'I'm
