"I'll stay, and"--he lowered his voice,
hesitating little-"later, perhaps,
when you are absolutely certain, IL
you'll let me, I'll ask something OF
your father"
She placed a finger on his lips as
she replied yes, a little later, and
I'll promise you. 1 shall be happy,

And then, overcome by frank
longing for affection, she threw her
arms around his neck. and put her
lips to his. They clasped each other
In their arms: the ardor of young love
thrilled them.
The sound Of table suddenly push
ed back startled both. 1t was the
beggar, who had Just arisen. They
saw him, as he stood there. drain his
glass at a draft. and throw down
two coppers on the table. He passed
In front of them, while even yet they
chung in a sort of half embrace. He
looked at them for an instant then
departed with an uncertain step.

murmured Henreitte. But Pauly did
not answer, being tormented by
! wish to kiss once more those lips that
J had just touched his own; and the
young girl, also overcome by love
permitted him to hold her in his
arms, for, now that the beggar had
departed she was quite at ease. They
remained long while thus, locked in
each others arms, as though this
close embrace could shield them from
the threat of some invisible and mys-
FERROUS danger Of which they had
both been conscious even in the midst
of all their tenderness.
OF a sudden Henriette pushed him
away. Pauly, alarmed by the pallor
Of her face. cried out: What Is
the matter, Henriette? Are you ill?"
She only stammered

"Yes-at least, it seems so, now.

She spoke no name, but her lover
understood her. Then, as she rose
and was Fastening to the door to
look out on the road, he seized her
hand and tried to hold her back.
"Henriette, beg you, don't go!"
1t seemed to him as though the
happiness which he had just secured
was going to escape him. to npish
away forever through that open door,
But Henriette answered with dilated
eyes, Yes, yes, l must! 1 must
look!"
She drew him after her. They
reached the threshold without letting
go each others hands. as though they
feared to find the beggar hidden be-
hind the door and ready to strike
them to the ground. But there was
no one there. The village, as their
eyes explored it, showed them only
its drowsy, silent houses set on both
sides Of the long white road. But at
the point in the horizon where the
blue sky met this long white road,
they saw a moving blur Of black that
slowly vanished in the distance.

. DllllulIlB neat VI al July sun
l. was sitting the air through
out the silent little village that
crouched in the thin shade of its
poplar-trees, like some exhausted
wayfarer who stops to rest beside the
road. 1t was but poor hamlet, Dor
dering on the plains of Avor, with
fields of flintstones- which, under
the intense glare of the sunlight, re-
sembled human bones.
In the belfry, twelve strokes had
sounded after preliminary Ginning
Of the quarters. The door of the
schoolhouse near the church flew
open, and q swarm of urchins, boys
and girls, came bustling out into
the road, disturbing 1t for few mo-
ments with their shrill-voiced cries
and their scuffling feet; then they
disappea one after another, into
adjacent houses like n flock of pig
cons, leaving the road again deserted,
though blurred by a cloud of dust
which once more slowly settled.
The teacher very tall and some

hair and yellow beard, appeared

pocket, and with rapid step crossed
over the highway toward the neigh
boring inn, which could be recognized
by the branch of firwood that served
a. sign above it's door. Within.
one found n great, cool hall, quite
simply furnished with two large, red
curtained beds, some straw-bottomed
chairs, and several tables. When

which he usually ate had been al
ready set--a coarse white napkin,
three thick plates. placed one upon
the other, bright pewter dishes. a
liter of red wine, and the heel of an
ample loaf.
Justin Pauly sat down, unfolded
his napkin, and cut off a slice of
bread. Only then did he observe that
he was not alone. AT the table
farthest away and opposite one OF
the beds sat a man, his face COM
pletely buried in his hands. and with
his elbows propped upon the table
near his glass, in which the amber
beer dissolved a CLINT of sunshine.
He was most uncanny-looking

skin, which had half-closed his eyes,
his nostrils, and his mouth.
Pauly remembered that he once
had seen In an anatomical museum

by an explosion of fire-damp. These
masks had presented precisely such

refiectively caresslng the band with
his lips.
"Carlotta, Carlotta," he murmured
to the ring. and then longing little
smile crept into the corners Of his
eyes and lips and fixed his stare even
more far away. Soon the monotony
OF the journey and the thoughts rum
ming ever in a circle overcame him,
and he dropped over onto Pietro's
shoulder. his mouth open and elo-
Quent.
Three years ne had searched for
YCarlotta In the great America; three
years he had looked for little Car

golden band. and who now wore her
half with the rough edges that
matched his. Need had forced him
to take up the shovel and give up the
search; yet always as he worked ne

And now he was returning to New
York under the supervision Of boss
who treated his gang as cattle. and
had made the transportation rate
with the company that was now car
rying them as closely packed as poul-
Try.
Toward evening a stir among the
men awakened Guido Gianalotta. He
smiled dreamily as Pietro shook him
and jabbered lightning words into his
drowsy ear. BY dint Of much shak-
ing the companion finally aroused
him. and impaired the intelligence
that they were entering New York.
New York meant much to Guido,
and he had taken the first opportuni-
ty to go back. 1t was there that he
could mix with his countrymen,
through whom he hoped to hear again
of his Carlotta. Besides. the great
American painter had induced her
to go to New York to earn her living
as a model, and probably she was
still there.
The ferry was just leaving when
Gianalotta looked quickly back to
the shore and lurched toward tho
edge to make out the face of q

pier.

Immediately on arriving he and
Pietro took rooms In an Italian lodg-

of the girl. Eagerly unfolding a New
York foreign paper. he shook 1t be-
fore Guido's longing eyes, and showed
him where mention was made OF the
model.
Dashing off to the newspaper Of
fee, Gianalotta found the man who
had written the article, and from him
learned the long-sought address.
Sticking his hair down with grease
and wrapping respondent hand
kerchief of red silk around his neck,
Guido set out alone. Love quickened
his steps, and soon he was ringing
the bell at her little apartment.
"Guido!" she cried. opening the door
and staring at him blankly.
