Week" and last Fridays celebration met
last night at the rooms of the Chamber
of Commerce. No reports OF the other
committees we're received, and the COM
mittee adjourned to meet again Wednes-
day night.
The decorations placed on buildings OF
the city during Homecoming Week are
rapidly disappearing, and by tonight all
will probably have been removed. The
sesrchIigbt which had been placed on
Shooters Hill has been returned to Fort
Washington, and the strings of electric
bulbs which we're on King and parts of
Washington street have been taken
down. The court of honor, however,
remains intact.
1t Is understood that the flags Used
last week In decorating the customs
house building 10 this city, were used on
some of the battleships which recently
made the trip around the world.

CHAPTER XII.
The City In the Sea.

T. ROM her window Kitty looked
down on the Campo which lay
patched with black shadows and
m~oonshine. A magic luster. effective as
hoar-frost, enveloped the ancient
church, and the lines of the caves and
the turns of the corners were silver
bright. How still at night was this
fairy city in the sea-! Save for the
occasional booming of bells-and in
Italy they are forever and ever BOOM
ing-and the low warning cry of the
gondoliers, there was nothing which
spoke of life, certainly not here in the
Campo Santa Maria Formosa. There
were no horses gathering over the
stone pavements, no trans, no omni-
buses; the stiffness which was of peace
lay over all things. And some of this
had entered Kitty's heart. She was
not deeply read, but nevertheless she
had her share of poetical feeling. And
to her everything in the venerable city
teemed with unexpressed lyric. What
If the Bridge of Signs was not true,
or the fair Desdemona had not dwelt
in a palace on the Grand Canal, or the
Merchant had neither bought nor sold
in the shadow of the Rialto bridge?
Historians are not infallible, and it is
sometimes easier n pleasanter to be-
lieve the poets.
But for one thing the hour would
have been perfect. Kitty, ordinarily
brave and cheerful, was very lonesome
and homesick. Tears A%sparkled in her
eyes and threatened to fall at any mo-
ment. 1t was all very well to dream
of old Venice; but when home and
friends kept iptruding constantly. The
little bank-account was so small that
five hundred would wipe it out of ex-
~istence. And now she would be out
of employment until the coming au-
tumn. The dismal failure of it all!
She had danced, sung, spoken her lines
the very best she knew how; and none
had noticed or encouraged her. 1t vas
u bitter cup, after all the success at
home. If only she could take it philo-
%sophically, like La Signorina! She shut
her eyes. How readily she could see
the brilliant, noisy, friendly Broadway,
the electric signs before the theatres,
the gay crowds in the restaurants! II
was all very fine to see Europe on a
comfortable letter of credit, but to see
1t under such circumstance as these,
that was a different matter. To live In
this evil-smelling old tenement, with
seldom any delicacy to eat. a strange
ljabber-jabber ringing in ones ears from
morning till night, and to wait day
after day for that letter from home,
was not a situation such AZ would

the shutters, for the Neapolitan Is nat
rrally a thief, and an open window Is
as large as a door to aim. He packed
his cases.. and this done. went to bed.
For a time he could hear Merrihew in
the adjoining room; but even this noise
ceased. Hillard fell asleep Inc dreamed
that he and Giovanni were being pur-
sued by carabinieri in petticoats and
half masks, that Merrihew had won
tons of napoleons at Monte Carlo, and
that Kitty Kilagrew was q princess in
disguise. SUCH Is the vagary of dreams.

thought, dts a good cause, and 1t

that there is comedy within comedy,
and rare good comedy at that. Monte

Merrihew danced a jig. Hillard
stepped to the mirror and bowed pro-
foundly. The jig ceased.
MADAME, permit me, a comparative
stranger, to offer you passage money
home. We won 1t at Monte Carlo;
take it, 1t is yours. Polite enough"
unused Hillard, turning and smiling;
'but hanged If it sounds proper"
"To the deuce with propriety!", cried
Merrihew b%uoyantly. Wen start, then,
at nine tomorrow"
AT nine promptly"
I'm off to bed, then" AS Merrihew
reached the door he paused. II forgot
to tell o Do you recollect that
italian you ran into at the club that
night? Saw him at the hotel tonight.
He bowed to Sanford, n Sanford

where, once upon q time, and he be-
haved like a cad. l don't know what
about, and / don't care"
9Humph! l hope Giovanni gets off
safely
II think he will"
When Merrihew had gone Hillard
opened the shutters to clear the room
of the tobacco smoke, and stood beside
the sill, absorbing the keen night air
and admirlng tho serene beauty of the
picture which lay spread before him.
The moon stood high and clear now,
the tiled roofs shone mistiiy, and from
some nearby garden came the perfume
of lockwood and roses. All was silence;
noisy Naples slept. He would see her
face his time; he would tear aside
the mystery. She had made a great
mistake? That was of small conse-
quence to him. He could laugh at Mrs.
Sandford's warning. He was no green
and untried youth; he was a man.
Then he laughed aloud. It was SO droll.
Here was Merrihew in o with the
soubrette, and he himself. Was
he in love. or was only his fancy
