She would spring from the veranda
and run over to the base of the tower
and call up to the man whose face she
sees outlined against the grillage OF
the upper window, through whose iron
bars he is struggling to force his way.
But Cipriano's strong hand clutches
her white arm; he pulls her back into
the seat and commands: Not until
you've heard my words, which may

Not against Edwin. You have NO

At his hideous mathematics the

AS Danella has clutched her, the old

''Pish! was welded in Musso's very

then cries: 81 am Edwin Gerard An

coast are quarries of dazzling-h -hued

'Orezza marble, what has that to
do with Edwins life?" half SCOTS the
girl.
But it may have something to do
with his DEATH" observes Danella
For the blasting of the rock is used
much dynamite. l have robbed the
quarries and have mined the base of
yonder turret with the explosive. In it
are three men: one, old Tomasso,
whose knife entered my brothers
heart; the other, an American detec-
tive who has placed his Yankee nose
into this vendetta. unfortunately for
himself. Emory is in that turret You

For Emory and dear old Tomasso?
Certainly-anything in reason" The
lovely eyes are filled with a strange
alarm.
"Ah. but it must not be in reason

my own-for you. When | direct my
nephew, who is bound to me not only
by ties of blood, but of gratitude, and
who is infiamed against you all by his
oath of vendetta for the murdered
Musso, he will light the fuse leading
to the mine, and puff!-that tower,
with every man who's in it, goes into
the air."
Murderer" shudders Marina, who
has listened astounded
"Ah. you have sympathy for these
poor fellows! That is we'll; l shall
love you more for your tender heart"
continues Cipriano softly.

lady.

vines trouble him, and the foliage of a
great orange tree, standing alone in
the garden and midway between the
house and the turret, jumbles the light,
which is only the faint sheen of the
rising moon.
Slightly before this, Marina had
been sitting on the long veranda of
the Corsican farmhouse, the lighted
lamps placing some tinges of ruby in
her dark brown hair and giving color
to the light costume that enhances
her loveliness.
Quietly entering from the house.
Cipriano Danella, costumed in the old
time, romantic Corsican garb, gazes
upon the exquisite girl outlined by the
light costume.
The eagerness of his glance draws
Mrs. Anstruther's eyes to him. She
looks up and says: "Ah, Count Cipri
ano, it was very noble of you, who
had feared would hate me, to rescue
me from the Lucchese.' At your ad
vice, have rested here. but to-mor
row, Notwithstanding the romantic
serenade you have provided for me,

Deount softly, and stepping nearer, says
Suavely, though there is a weird sug-
gestion in his voice that somewhat dis
quiets the lady: I'VE are alone here

girl uneasily
"Parbleu, you did once, the gentle
man with the scar upon his face. the
one who delivered the letter that
caused your nerves to jump in the
Marseilles railroad station. Even now
his name seems to have an i'll effect
upon you," for Marina has started up,
and the fluttering of her light skirts
shows her limbs are trembling.

shudders. And was it you who penned
it?" Then some divination entering
her mind, she implores pathetically:
Holy Virgin, no harm has come to
Edwin? Have l not kept the cruel
pact? Have l not deserted my dear
husband? 1t was the promise of that
awful letter that no evil should come
to Edwin II left his arms"
"Ah. but you intended to return to
them, bella mia," smiles the gentle
man.
The young wife scarcely heeds the
insinuation Of the subtle Italian term,
but stammers confused: why do
you think that?"
