CHAPTER XIV.

Silence invested the Villa Ariadne;
yet warm and mellow light illumined
many window or marked short path
ways on the blackness of the lawn. Of
the hundred lanterns hanging in the
gardens, not dozen still burned and
these offered rather melancholy re-
minder of joy and laughter departed.
The moon was high in the heavens
now, and the shadows cast by the
gloomy expresses put the little god in
the fountain in complete darkness. A
single marble bench stood out with
that vividness which only marble and
moonshine can produce. All the car
riages, save one, were gone. A solitary
saddle-horse ratified his bit, paved
restively, and tossed his head worried
ly from side to side, as if prescience
has touched him with foretelling.
On the other side of the wall, Turk
Ing in the dark inches, was tall, lean,
gray-haired old man who watched and
listened and waited. Whenever he ven
tured into the moonlight the express
sion on his face was exultant but sin
lister. He was watching and litening
and waiting for the horse At the first
round of the animals prancing hoofs
on the stones by the porters lodge,

ind little waxen stalactites formed

guests had been hurried and noisy
and without any particular formality
or directness. In truth 1t resembled

thing else. The denouement was evil

this flight His Highness the Principi-
di Monte Blanca, Enrico by name, had
taken the part of an amused spectator;
but now that the last of the unwel-
come guests was gone, he assumed the
role premeditated. He strobe up and
down the floor, his spurs tinkling and
his sabre rafting harshly. He stopped
before this painting or that, scrutiniz
ed the corners to ascertain what artist
had signed IT.; he paused an interval
before the marble faun, which he rec
ognized as a genuine antique. These
things really interested him. for he
had never been inside the Villa Ari

mo, no! The prince himself will
be here at eleven. He was, singular
ly enough, not invited; and knowing
the storysas do, am curious to wit

ready picking her to pieces. To give

ladies in attendance! These Ameri-
cans! But she is beautiful" with evil
dent reluctance.
Hillard, peering gloomily over their
shoulders, overheard The prince!
Oh, this must not be. There could
be only one prince in a matter of this
kind. He pushed by the Italians with
out apology for his rudeness, edged
around the ballroom till he reached
La Signorina's side. He must save
her at all hazards.
"A word" he whispered in German.
What is it," she asked in the same
tongue.
"The prince himself will be here at
eleven"
What prince?"
"Di Monte Blanca Come, there is
no time to lose. have been holding
my carriage ready ever since came.
Come"
Thank you, but it is too late" She
smiled, but it was tired and lonely

her nerves against this moment.

who touched her!

carabinieri pushed their way into the

Which among you is called the
Principessa di Monte Bianca?" was
asked authoritatively.

stepping forth.
The carabinieri crossed quickly to
her side.

distinctly.

stables on the premises. The fencing
also on The premises needs repairing.
We recommend this be done.
Heretofore special committee q
our body mas been selected to lnVestl-
gate the various county Offices. This
Committee, consisting Of our foreman,
Mr.. A. L. Hook, G. j. Huffman and
Isaiah Mailman, met on August 10th,
last, and with the assistance OF. >. Is.
Wingard, Esq, as expert, examined
all the books, records and papers OF
the several county offices. we are
pleased to report that this examlna-
tion showed that these officers are ef-
iciently discharging their dntles.
The books and records are accurately y
made up and neatly kept. The funds
in the hands Of the Clerk of the Court
and Probate Judge, belonging to es-
tates in process Of settlement, are
kept on deposit in banks; and the GER
tifcates furnished the committee, by
these bank officials, to the credit OF
these officers, are sufficient to cover
all the liabilities. The disbursement
of the pension fund by the Clerk of
the Court was promptly and correctly
made, each pensioner giving re-
ceipt for the money, which receipt is
placed on file in the Office. The an
nual settlement between the County
Auditor and County Treasurer, showed
that the funds and taxes chargeable
to the Treasurer has been satisfacto-
rily accounted for. The books in the
offices of the Supervisor and Superin-
tendent of Education, showing the
disbursements of the school funds and
the various expenditures made in op-
Grating the several institutions OF the
county and all internal improvements
therein tally with the books and rec
ords found in the Treasarer's office,
covering all of these expenditures in
the county. The County Board OF
Control have efficiently managed the
traffic in alcoholic liquors in the
county, keeping an accurate and COM
plete set of books, showing every de-
tail of their transactions.
A petition, numerously signed by
the citizens of the county, asking that

the advisability of this public utility;

Importance to the county of having
this river bridged; and, as soon as the
finances of the county will justify this

the Supervisor carefully look into this
matter and take such steps in regard
to it as he may find necessary and
advisable to build said bridge.
We recommend that our expert,
hereinbefore mentioned, be paid the
usual fee of $40 for his services as
such, by the County Supervisor, out
of the funds of the county. i

officers of the court for the assis tance
