Transactions in town lots are be-

Most of the buying at the present

some of the last pieces so we will be compell-

the way up to Rome Hillard
W n his pupil had a second
class compartment all to them
selves. The train was a fast one; for
the day of slow travel has passed in
Italy and the cry of speed is heard
over the land. The train stopped often
and rolled about a good deal; but the
cushions were soft, and there was real
comfort in being able to stretch out
full length. Hillard, having made this
trip many times, took the forward seat
and fell into a doze.
Merrihew was like a city hoy taking
his first trip into the country. He hung
out Of the window. and smoked and
smoked. Whenever the train sweptes
round a curve he could look into the
rear carriages; and the heads sticking
out of the thirds reminded him Of
cl1icken-crates. Never had he seen such
green gardens. such orange and lemon
groves, such forests of olives. Save
that it was barren rock. not a space as
broad as a mans hand was left unculti-
waited; and not a farm which was

aybo lives there?" asked Kitty

e-"Who lives there?" asked Kitty.
Nobody" answered La Signorina.
Though once it was the palace of a
great warrior. How picturesque the
gondolas look, with their dancing
double lights! Those without numbers
are private"
"The old palace interests me more
than the gondolas," declared Kitty.
But La S~ignorina was not to be
trapped.
Presently they passed the row of
great hotels, with their balconies hang
ing over the water and their steps Il n
ming down into 1t. Kitty eyed them all
regretfully. She saw nen and women
in evening dress, and she was sure
that they had dined we'll and were
happy. Without doubt there were per-
sons who knew her by name and had
seen her act. From the Grand Canal
they came out into the great Canal of
San Marco, the beginning of the lagoon.
Here Kitty forgot for the moment her
troubles; her dream-Venice had re-
turned. There were private yachts,
Adriatic liners, all brilliant with illumi-
nation, and hundreds of gondolas, bob
bling. bobbing, like captive leviathans,
punched round the gaily-lanterned
barges Of the serenaders. There was
only one flaw to this perfect dream; the
shrill whistle of the ferry-boats. They
had no place here, and their presence
was an affront.
GLOW I hate them!" said La Sig
norma. 1.-THE American influence!
Some day they win be filing up the
canals and running trans over them.

"And what makes you think that?'
There was a smile behind the veil.

palace. Now, l am at home only in
the theater, In places which are unreal
and artificial. You are a great actress.
a great singer; and yet, as O'Mally
would say. you don't belong" Kitty
had forgotten what she had started to
say.
