made an excursion to Les Ardoisieres,
says the "Matin," where Napoleon III.
used often to go for rest. Three young
girls, sisters, timidly approached the
sultan and asked him to sign post
cards. Mulai Haf1d consented on con-
dition that they would each sing
song to him. Two Of the girle at
once complied, and the delighted Mu-
lai Hafid wrote on their cards words
which, translated, mean: Like Ma

letter.
1t was a happy letter, charmingly
put, full Of tenderness for the old ia
tier in his lonely house, carrying lit
tie directions to him, little messages
which he should deliver, little duties
he must perform.
He folded the letter and laid 1t ON
the table. Then he spoke with the dis
tinctness Of one going firmly to his
ruin. Italy was now out of the ques-
ton; he must remain and get employ
ment somewhere. But, first, this bust
ness with the bank must be conclud-
ed. He would go up to the city with
me In the morning, execute the mort
gage and take up the note. He did
not ask me about my conference with
Randolph Mason, and SO was spared
the recital Of that failure. When the

had a long talk that night with
Pietro. He had a cousin in Polian-
no, a village about league from Ge-
noa, where the Mediterranean makes
a little sunny pocket. The place, he
thought, ran with General Cruger's
dream of the Riviera, the bay was
paved with topaz, the far-off back of
the sea wine-red, as in the days of
Homer, the air soft as down-only the
natives were not to be desired. They
were picturesque enough for theatric
eye. but they were very dirty, very
stout liars, and all sons of the forty
thieves. His cousin, Guido. was nc
better than the worst of them, but he
kept a very comfortable inn, IL the

Gabrielle, had once been In the service
