Tho Romance Of eenedelIo Mareelle
the Venetian Composer.

Benedello Marcello. one Of the most
famous Venetian composers. fell in
love with beautiful girl named
Leonora Manfrotti, who married Paolo
Seranzo, Venetian noble. She died
short time after her marriage, a vic
tim to the harsh and jealous treatment
of her husband
Her body was laid out In state In
the church OF Wei Frari, and her lover
actually succeeded In stealing the
corpse and conveying 1t to a ruined
crypt In one OF the islands, and here
he sat day and night by his lost love,
singing and playing to her, as though
by the force of his art he could recall
her to life.
Leonora had twin sister. Eliade,
who was so like her that her closest
friends could scarcely distinguish
them. One day Eliade heard singer
In gondola singing so exqulsitely
that she traced the gondola TO the de-
serted island, and there she learned
later the fate of her sisters corpse and
the identity OF Marcelo. Aided by a
servant. Eliade substituted herself for
her sisters body, and when Marcello
returned and called Leonora to awake
he did not ask in vain. for apparently
she rose alive from the coffin. Marcel

quite satisfied and married Eliade, but
his happiness was short lived, as he
