little disposition to criticize.
Blake was amazed to discover what
strong public sentiment the 8talian
outrages had awakened. New Orleans,
it seemed, was not only indignant. but
alarmed N.3
His complacency received a sudden
shock, however, when ~Donnelly strolled
into his office a few days later, and
without a word laid a letter upon his
desk. 1t ran as follows:
Daniel Donnelly,
Chief of Police,
New Orleans, La
Dear Sir-God be praised that Clan
Narcone has gone to his punishment?
But you have incurred the everlasting
enmity of the Mala Vita, or what you
term La Malta, and it has been decided
that your life must pay for his. You
are to be killed next Thursday night
at the Red Wing club. 1 cannot name

The color had receded from Norvins
face when he looked up to meet the
smoke-blue eyes of his friend.
"Goodr' he exclaimed. ''This-looks
bad. doesn't it?'
You think it's on the level?"
Donnely shrugged. I'm blessed If

THAT sounds reasonable, and yet

duced the first communication. The
paper was identical and the type ap-
peared to be the same. Beyond this,
NorYln could make out nothing.

seated at one of the corner tables and
their backs were toward the wall.

CHAPTER XII.
IA MAETA

The surprising ease with which the
capture of Narcone had been effected
gratfed Norvin Blake immensely, for
it gave him an opportunity to jeer at
the weaker side of his nature. He told
himself that the incident went to prove
what his saner judgment was forever
saying-that fear depends largely upon
the power of INSTALLATION, that danger
is real only in so far as the mind sees
It. Moreover. the admiration his con-
duct aroused was balm to his soul. His
friends congratulated him warmly, agree
ing that he and Donnelly had taken the
only practical means to rid the commu-
nifty Of the menace.
In our southern and western states
where individual character stands for
more than it does in the over-legalized
communities Of the north and east, men
are concerned not so much with red

A MAN OF MYSTERY.
Peculiar Life Of Mstastasio, the Cello
brated italian Poet.

Peculiar Life Of Mstastasio, the Cello.
bratsd italian Poet.
Metastasio (169s-17s2), the celebrated
dramatic and operatic poet, spent fifty
Ave years in Vienna with the Marines
family without ever learning German
or wishing to learn it.
Besides his utter Indifference to all
speech but Italian, Metastasio possess
ed many peculiarities Of character.
None might mention death In his pres
ence. Those who alluded to smallpox
before him he made it a point not to
see again. In all his fifty-five years
In Vienna he never gave away more
than the equivalent of $25 to the
poor. He always occupied the same
seat at church, but never paid for it.
He took all his meals in the most mys-
terious privacy. His greatest friends
had never seen him eat anything but
biscuit with some lemonade. Nothing
would induce him to dine away from
home. He never changed his wig or
the cut or color of his coat.
Metastasio was to have been present
ed to the pope the day he died and
raved about the intended interview in
the delirium Of his last moments. Mrs.
Piozzi (familiar to readers of Boswell's
life Of DR.. johnson" as Mrs. Thrale)
collected these particulars from the Ia
dies Of the Marines family, with
whom Metastasio was so long domesti-
Gated without speaking or understand

ETIQUETTE IN SIAM.

On Hands and knsss Before the King
Was Long the Custom There.
Perhaps the most revolutionary re-
form carried out by the late king Of
Siam was the abolition Of the arbi-
trary rule Of etiquette which forbade
an inferior in rank to raise his head
above that Of superior or even level
with 1t. The inferior must not even
pass over q bridge while a superior
was underneath 1t, nor must he enter
a room in an upper story while a su-
perior was occupying a room beneath
It. Servants approached their mas.
ters on hands and knees. This GUS
tom is by no means obsolete today in
spite Of the royal edict, for many Of
the powerful mobiles who live far
away from the court still enforce it.
In 1874 the king held a large court,
at which no one present presumed to
appear otherwise than on hands and
knees. 1t was at this audience that
the edict forbidding the custom was
read to the PROSTATE multitude. They
there and then rose and stood like
men in the presence Of their sovereign
for the first time on record. Since
then there has been no prostration at
the royal audiences. But If a supe-
rior stops to speak to an inferior in
the street the latter will still bend or
lower his head in some way as a
mark Of respect. - London Saturday

MADAME NELLIE MeLsA
HoNORED THE MONKEY.
Origin Of the Cost Of Arms Of the Earl
Of Isinster.

Origin Of the Cost Of Arms Of tho Earl
Of lsinstsr.
Most Of the wild animals have a
place in heraldry, and many strange
and impossible creatures, such as grit
fins. dragons and unicorns, have been
invented as emblems Of daring and
valor. But the donkey and the mon
key have not been so used. except in
one instance, where the monkey has
been admitted to the ranks Of titled
nobility. The story of this adoption
is told by Mr.. Curtis in his book,
"One Irish Summer"
On the Leinster coat Of arms are
three monkeys standing with plain
collar and chained; motto. "Crom-a-
boo," ITO Victory" This is the only
coat of arms, am told, that has ever
borne a monkey in the design. 1t was
adopted by John Fitzthomas Fitzger-
aid in 1916 for romantic reasons.
While this Earl Of Leinster was an
infant he was in the castle Of Wood
stock, which is now owned by the
Duke of Marlborough. The castle
caught fire. In the confusion the child
was forgotten, and when the family
and servants remembered him and
started a search they found the nur.
sery in ruins. But on one Of the tow
ers was a gigantic ape, a pet Of the
family. carefully holding the young
earl in his arms. The animal. with
extraordinary intelligence, had crawl
ed through the smoke, rescued the
baby and carried it to the top Of the
tower.
When the earl had grown to man
hood he discarded the family coat Of
arms and adopted the monkeys for
his crest, and they have been retained
to this day. Wherever you ind the
tomb Of a Fitzgerald you will see the
monkeys at the feet Of the ehigy or
under the inscription.

SPENDTHRlFT ISABELLA.

A Sight That Checked Her Regal Ex-
travaganes For Awhile.
We are accustomed to think that the
day is long past when 4 sovereign
could oppress and offend whole king
dom by personal extravaganza. But
the late Isabella Of Spain belonged In
spirit to the sixteenth century. An In
cident Of her reckless career-which
ended in the loss Of the throne-is not
ed in Munsey's Magazine.
She spent money, pouring it out like
water, at . time when the treasury
was nearly bankrupt and when the
proverb Poor as a Spaniard" was
Tar too true. All her best advisers
urged her to practice economy. Very
few Of them succeeded, and these only
for q short time.
A certain chamberlain OF hers once
hit upon a plan to make her realize
how enormous were the sums that she
was spending. Passing through the
hall Of the palace, she was surprised
to see a vast heap OF silver pieces, re-
sembling the contents Of q great bin
Of wheat, but piled up In the middle
Of the door. The queen summoned her
chamberlain.
'What is the meaning Of all this
money!" she demanded Of him.
"Oh," he replied, with a low bow,
this Is merely the amount which l
have brought out to pay the bill Of
your majesty's glovemaker."
The queen colored and then laughed.
