fury IN Siena. a Guy ana aTCnleplSCopdi See
Of Tuscany, italy,
A young man by the name of Anton
Luigi Migliorelli, nobly born, but with a
strange and whimsical disposition, re-
sided not long ago in the city of Spoleto.
His temperament was confident and
hopeful, though his judgment was
rleager Unfortunately, he fancied HIM
self in love with beautiful and accom-
plished young lady, daughter of one
of the finest families-her name was
Fiordespina.
To make matters worse, Fiordespina
had already married wealthy citizen
OF good blood called Filolauro, who was
IN every way worthy of his charm
ing wife. They were very happy, max
ing fine example of conjugal felicity
and fidelity.
Such happiness as that of Filolauro and
FiordeSpina seemed too superb to last.
Indeed, a secret fiend was already at
work to undermine their Joy. This fiend
was inspiring the soul of Anton Luigi
with thought dangerous to their married
bliss. Luigi set about winning the OBJ
tect of his desire, who was no other
than the beautiful Fiordesptna.
But he tried every approach he knew
he used all the arts and batteries of
which he was master-and he was de-
feated. He made no progress whatever
in the eyes of Fiordespina. She seemed
not to notice his attentions. Piqued
Luigi vowed to be revenged for her pride
and indifference toward him. He had to
keep his feelings under cover, lest her
husband take the law into his own
hands and bear arms against him.
The first idea that occurred to Luigi
was to take his own life. But whenever
he was on the point of suicide the pic
ture of the beautiful Fiordespina would
come into his mind, and he could not
bear to think of leaving her behind. He
finally made up his mind to try one last
interview with his lady. When Flo
lauro left the city on hunting expedi-
ton Luigi saw his chance-and was
again defeated by seeing Fiordespina
accompanied by two young lady COM
panionS.
Evaporation changed to frenzy in
Luigis breast. He lurked about the
house, therefore. to meet the husband
when he returned. He was late in COM
ing and taking leave of his friends, but
when he did arrive home he was as
tonished to come face to face with An
ton Luigi
Luigi drew his sword and cried: AT
last, william, thou art dead!" At the
same moment he wounded the hus-
band severely.
"Ah, traitor" cried Filolauro. He
rushed at his attacker and closed with
him.
Fiordespina. overhearing some dis
turbance. and recognizing her beloved
husbands voice instantly seized her
husbands spear and rushed to the door.
She saw her husband struggling in the
arms of an assassin, his blood staining
the ground round about. With the
courage common to ladies of that day
and place, she plunged the spear
through Luigi's body-for she could
distinguish the fighters one from an
other by the light of the moon He fell
dead at her feet. She Immediately
took her husband into the house, to
treat and bind his wounds

ton reached even the heart Of that
vicious tyrant. No matter how callous
he might be, he could not remain in
sensible to what he had just witnessed
He was taken by surprise, and he was
thoroughly astonished. In q voice
milder than any one had ever heard
him use, he commanded the officers to
unbind Filolauro.
The father of Luigi was now called
and asked what he thought should be
done Though stricken with grief at
the untimely death Of his son, Luigi's
father nevertheless spoke the truth.
He told of the passion which Luigi had
formed for the beautiful Fiordespina
and of how he had tried every expedi-
ent to satisfy his wild desires. The
father further stated that he certainly
did not wish to see the innocent suffer,
even though they had been the instru-
ments Of his sons death. For any man
will defend his life-and any woman
will defend the life of him she loves.
