CHAPTER xxXuI,

A month passed by. In his outer
life Carlo went through the series of
farewell performances at New York,
attended Sardonis wedding, and tray-
eled back to Italy. In his inner life
he fought terrible battle and came
out conquerer.
No further details of Francesca
marriage had as yet reached him to
relieve his misery of ignorance and
suspense Apparently both Clare and
Enrico shrank from touching on so
difficult a subject. and all he had re-
ceived by way of answer to his letter
was a copy of the Roma from Enrico,
containing the same paragraph which
Mademoiselle DE Caisne had inclosed.
The shrewd-looking Official who pre-
sided at the bureau in the hall of one
of the hotels at Genoa sat specializing
TO himself as he saw the much-talked-
Of baritone pass into the breakfast
room on the morning after Merlino's
company had landed in Italy.
There was something about Donati's
face which he could not understand;
Il was not the face one would have
expected in a man who, at six-and-
twenty had achieved a striking sue
cess. and who was said to be the fin
est baritone in Europe. Sorrow had
not hardened him or seured him, but
it had added sort of depth to his ex-
preston, and just now he bore always
the look OF one who has imposed on
himself a strong restraint.
The official was pleased when, on
leaving the hreakfast-room, Carlo
came to the bureau to buy some
stamps. and he adroitly. seized the op-
portunity 10 prefer a request.
