TIIE TELEGRAPH AND MESSENGER: FRIDAY, APRIL 10, 1885.
THE FLORENTINE FLY-BY-NIGHT.
Translated for the Telesrep’i and Mss*
•enter from ths Cerman of
C. del Negro.
BY n/>BA l MI Tit.
When they came to'heir lodging, a little
room on a court, which received but scan
ty light and air through a small slit, the
little one was so weary that she sank upon
the esck of straw lying in a corner ol the
room, and was at once asleep. But Andres
threw his basket In some nook and set his
little lsntem npon the old worm eaten
table that stood In the middle of the room,
and, besides the strew sack and a chair,
formed the whole furniture of the same.
After the lad had plckedupaatrawthatlay
upon the floor, and stock It Into bis mouth,
he sat by the table, propped his two elbows
upon it, and supported his head with both
hands. Chewing the straw, he turned his
thoughts this way and that. He was forced
to admit that the stranger was right when
he said Viola should not rosm about in the
streets, for she was beginniug to be a large
girl and beautiful. From time to time
Andrew turned his lantern so that Its light
fell full upon the lovely sleeper, and then
f observed her quite awhile, as If to ex
amine whether Viola really could no
longer pasB for a child.
Sleeplessiy, disturbed like Andrea by
his thoughts, Hilbrsnd also ppssed the
night. The solitary ground for his unrest
he would not acknowledge. When a settled
man suddenly takes a fancy, and feels him
self powerfully drawn to a woman from
whom age and scclal position divide him,
as if a gulf lay between, he seeks to con
ceal this late inclination not only from
others, but even from himself. Something
seemed to stir in Hdbrand's soul, and ap
peared to question whether It would be
fortunate for Viola were he to cross her
life, care for her and protect her, he whose
heart every instant beat so stormily. But
as often as the question arose a self court
dent smile coiled bis proud mouth, for he
had never earnestly loved; had never vet
been foolish and weak about any wontsn;
knew not that a great passion sometimes
overcomes the best of us, and firmly be
lieved that lova could drive him neither to
fault or folly. He smiled then In a very
superior manner when Andrea esme to
him next mornlog and asked wlih search
ing look if be really meant well by Viola.
“Help her,” continued Andrea; "let her
learn what la right to that the can etrn
her own bread in an honorable manner,
but do not haim a hair of the girl or I'll
beat you to death I”
Andrea spoke with a voice continually
more excited, and at tbelaat words hs wss
quite red in the face. Hie coal-black i yes
showered sparks.
The I’rofetsor could not acorn the un-
couth follow, although hs said to himself
that the youth had a singular way of re
ceiving a benefit. I)ld It not appear that
Andrea did him a favor by accepting the
cllbred help? And yet the poor fellow,
" t Htlbi ’
thought Hilbrsnd, was not entirely wrong
from b:e standpoint. It was p'slnly a ssc-
ritlco on bis part to entrust bis darling to
■MttMf’S care, and he srould never, never
have done ao if be w*re not a poor home

The l’rofesser rose and walked up to the
lad, who, hla cap In hie right band end his

antly throat out and sparkling eye-,, await
ed an answer.
“Do not fear, tnv yonng man,” said Hit
brand, while bo laid a'trlendiy band npon
Andrea’s shoulder.
"Utve your word that you will help Viola

“Gently, my young men,” earnestly esld
the scholar, "l can allow no conditions,

Is under my protection. On the contrary,
she shall bo taken to the hones of an hon-

of the room, where he remained standing,
and Hired before him with disconsolate
air.
"Andrea." began the rrofeaeor with gen
tle voice, “I ebould like to do eomething
for you too. Give up your present calling
and learn a n gular trade."
"Ho, sir," Andrea put In decidedly.
"Tame jean now 1 have led this free

"But, It Is to be hoped, yon would return I

The prudent woman, from what the Fro
lessor told her of bis adventure with the
two ‘children.’ had won the conviction
that in the hearts of ‘tobies,’ as well in
lire defiant, jealous stripling, ss in the
yielding maiden, lay already the germ of
a mutual love; and when the young people
came to ber the same evening, and Frau
Bertha ssw the so-called child, are could

“Who knows,” said the yonng widow to
herself. "Perhaps Hilbrsnd will come lo
me by way of an unbsppy passion when
he teems wbat woe an unrequited love

Snd ebe retained the child with ber, bnt
only on the condl don that she herself
might train Viola in the proprieties and
remain with her in Florence. Hilbraml.who
was made peaceful end happy to know Ids
pure protege was in such good bends,
agreed willingly to Bertha's condition, as
sorry as be would be not to see Viola tor e

with the thought that twelve months slip
quickly by when one passes them in ab
soibing work, and be bad to work without
rest if he would keep the promise given
bis publisher to send in ths manuscript of
his work in the spring of tbo next year.
And that Hllbrand would do while the
beautiful child wbo, from the first mo
ment, had attracted and enchained him,
grew and bloomed under Frau Bertha’s
ward and care for him?
With such thoughts ss be hardly dared

The three bad driven late in the after-
noon to Moute Oliveto. At tbe convent
garden on tbe hill they left the carriage to
walk in the ahrubbery paths and to enjoy
th$ splendid prospect that there oners

The twilight was already growing as tbe

that still gleamed in golden purple, and
now out of tbe twlligh' veil, In which she
wrapped,herself, slowly came forth, en
chanted by the magic light of the full
moon hanging on the horizon like a golden
ball. No round from the uproar of a large
city’s life intruded here in tbe sung con
vent garden, among whose aged olives and
and cypresses reigned a holy stillness,
broken from time to time, fora moment
only, by the rustle of the wind-stirred
leaves.
The three on the wall, however, re
mained silent. It was one of those
significant hoars io which the heart feels
the approach of a great event.
The professor was silent, because the
hope of assuring himself the next moment
if the posietsiou of this beautiful girl for
life robbed him of breath and throttled
him; Viola from instinctive, unconscious
shyness of that which was coming, but

withdraw tbe two from tbe dangerous twi

"No, dear friend,” began Hilbrsnd, with
trembling voice, while be caught tbe un
happy woman by the bend and held ber:
"do not go yet, let us stay in this holy spot
until Viola has sealed my happiness or
unhappiness.”
Thereupon followed a warm declaration,
which filled Berthe, wbose band Hllbrand

arms, tenderly dciring to [press the
trembling girl, who seemed incapable
of a word, to his breast. Whether he did
so or not Bertha did not know, for she
closed ber eye* and softly went away.
With hasty steps she sought onta dnsky
spat of the convent garden, as if she
would bury her deep pain from tbe moon

who bad let them in.
“Tne others are coming—they prefer to
walk tojtbe city,” said Bertha to the monk,
wbo had laboriously lifted himself from
bis atone seat and opened the gate for ber.
Then she pressed a silver piece into bis
herd, trembling hand, got quickly into tbe
carriage that stood before the convent
gate and bade the- coachman drive her
rapidly home.
Neither Viola nor Hllbrand found it

Among the cart Mitiee lo be seen in the
Treasury Department are tha affidavit!
which accompany mnlliated notes eentfor
redemption. It is smiting that eo many
people pnt money in the ovens or pipe* of
•tovei in the summer and for gat that It la
then when a lira to built. Another occur
rence which is not uncommon to to sell
bogs and lay tha money In a trough to be
eaten by calvta or other uimeto. When
this happens then the fatted calf to killed
and the contents of thattomach sent tothe
Treasury to be examined, and the undigest
ed paper taken out. In one inch Instance
the entire amount wav Identified. Some
times ratten pockethooke with fragments of
notes are sent, and tha affiant takes oath
before a notary that three or more, or lees
years before that the pocket-book wee lost
while plowing a field, and found whan
again tha field woe plowed.
Una of tha latest affidavits stated that
that tha owner bed a twe-ity-dollar note

In, and, thinking it wa* tobacco he pnt tt
In his month, but after chewing for some
time ha thought It did not teste like tobac
co. and ba spit tt out on a piece of eblte
peter, and tha note fall and spread Itself
over tha white paper In exactly tba way it
lay when sent for redemption. Tbe lady
who opened tha affidavit and read the
statement said to Iboaa present: "This to

Macon, Oa„ July 14, 1884.—I take
pleasure in adding my testimonial to
the superior excellence of your Ifora-
ford’s Bread Preparation (Baking Pow
der) aa an article healthful and nutri
tions. So long as superfine wheaten
flour is mode use of for bread-making,
•o long will there be ■ necessity for re
storing to anch flour the nntritivo ele
ments ot which it U deprived by tbe
refining process; and, ao far aa I am
aware, thin is the only Baking Powder
in tlie market tbat poneaaes that qual
ity; while in giving ligbtneae and
porosity to tbe bread, whether made of
gaperfine or unbolted (Graham) floor,
there is none'better.
Yours respectfully,
(Signed)
