With an eye out for the nearest *mok-

to convey him from Siena to Florence,

Though not wholly complimentary,
this was music to Calcott’s cars, for it
hinted at Dora's having forgiven him for

“Is—is your sLstcr here?" hazarded
Jeremy.
“Yes; she is sitting with Conrad, to

Hereupon, to Jeremy's great discomfit

With a praiseworthy desire to divert her

play of mannish ignorance, to question

At sunset, one evening, he found her

There was no other alternative for Jer
emy but to promise to go on the follow
ing day. During the sleepless night that
followed he resolved that he would bide
his time for awhile, but renounce all
hope of winning Dora, as she bade him,
he could not, if he would. To leave her
was to feel the gates of paradise clom
against him; and who could tell how
long the separation so cruelly imposed
by Fate might last? Dora’s eyes, in
spite of herself, told Jeremy that she re
turned his love. Under the circum
stances he could hardly tell whether this
consciousness caused him most delight
or despair. '

At this critical moment, Hilda, with

in among the flock, flung away the irate
gander, threw the shawl over the be
wildered Conrad, and flew back with
him to the hotel.

This most rational suggestion was acted
upon, and Conrad and the two sisters
were stowed away as comfortably os cir

Jeremy Calcott found it convenient to
visit the Bagni di Lucca.
Conrad’s escapade had a curious effect
on Ids erstwhile so adoring mistress; when
she recovered from the fever his loss
caused her, she had totally forgotten his

existence; nor of her faithful sister Dora
had she slightest recollection more; the
shade on her feeble intellect had become
a dense cloud, which only thelighfof an
other world could penetrate. In a private
asylum, her painless, mindless existence
continued its march, perhaps into old
qge— such lives are spared, while useful
ones are extinguished in this strange
world—but Dora’s sacrifice was at an
end.
