Maxwell felt in his pocket, and, surely fflgh, his valuables were perfectly safeâ€" ainiag missing, even to his sketch-book. •irthe first time, he began to experience a ssaiion of fear.

Mawell was considerably" impressed by •iiicool display and indeed, when he cen- tred the matter calmly, there appeared Jj prospect of immediate escape.

"WeU. the cause of liberty must be in a bad way when the very members of the League treat brother 1 as I have been treated." the ]7- Ah, it is a fine word, liberty," brigand chief replied aardonical- "It is a good phrase to put into men's months, but there can be no freedom where the shadow of the sword dwells upon the land. Even Ialy herself has suflFered, as she will again. Perfect liberty and perfect freedom can only be founded upon the doctrine of universal love." By this time. Maxwell and the chief had drawn a little aside from the others. The artist looked in his companion's face, and noted the air of sorrow there. It was a fine, naanly countenance, haughty and handsome, though the dark eyes were somewhat sombre now. Maxwell, with his cosmopolitan in- stinct, was drawn towards this man, who had a history written on his brow. " You, too, have suffered," he said gently. " Su£Fered " the brigand echoed. "Yes Englishman, I have suffered, and not more from the Austrian yoke than the cruelties of my own countrymen. There will be no true liberty here while a stiletto remairs in an Italian's belt." "1 suppose not," Maxwell mused. "These Societies seem to me a gigantic farce. Would that I had remained quietly at home, and let empires manage their own afiairs. And Salvarini warned me too." "Salvarini What do you know of him " the chief exclaimed. " Nothing but what is good and noble, everything to make one proud to call him friend. â€" Do you know him too?" "He is my brother," the chief replied quietly.â€"" You look surprised to find that a relative of Luigi should pursue such a profession as mine. Yes, he is my brother â€" the brother of an outlaw, upon whose head a price has been put by the state. I am known to men as Paulo LuccL" Maxwell started. The mnn sittins calnrdy by his side was the most famous and daring bandit chief of his time. Provinces rang with his fame, and the stories of his dashing exploits resounded far and near. Even away in the distant Apennines, the villagers sat round the winter firesides and discoursed of this man with bated breath, and children trembled in their beds at the mere thought of his name. He laughed scornfully now as he noted Maxwell's startled look. " I am so very terrible," he continued, "that my very name strikes terror to you Bah 1 you have been listening to the old woman's tales of my atrocities, about the tortures my victims undergo and the thou- sand-and-one lies people are fond of telling about Die. I can understand Luigi did not tell you I was his brother I am not a relative to be proud of." "He is in total ignorance of your identity. That I do know. â€" £ wonder at you choosing such a life," Maxwell put in boldly. "With your daring, you would have made fame as a soldier any path of life you had chosen would have brought you honor but now" â€" "But now I am an outlaw," Paulo Sal- varini interrupted. " And why If yon will listen, I will tell you my story in a few words." Maxwell threw himself upon the grass by the other's side and composed himself to listen, "If you look below yon," the chief com- menced, and pointinsr with his finger across the distant landscape, " you will see the sun shining upon a house-top. I can see the light reflected from it now. That house was once my home. I like sometimes to sit here and think of those days when Gillana and I were happy there â€" that is ten years ago now. I had done my best for my coun- try I had fought for her, and I retired to this peaceful spot with the woman of my heart, to live in peace, as I hoped, for the rest of my life. But the fiend of Liberty was abroad. My wife's father, an aged man, was accused of complicity in political crimes, and one day, when I was absent, they came to arrest him. My wife clung to him, and one of the brutal soldiery struck her down with the but cf his rifle; I came in time to see that, for my blood was on fire, and I did not hesitate. You can under- stand the rest. ^My wife was killed, actual- ly murdered by that foul blow. But I had my revenge. When I crossed the threshold of my house, on my flight to the mountains, I left three dead men behind me, and anoth- er, the officer, wounded sore. He recover- ed, I afterwards heard but some day we shall meet." He stopped abruptly, shaking in every limb from the violence of his emotion, his sombre eyes turned towards the spot where the sun shone upon the roof-tops of what was once a peaceful homestead. " Luigi can only guess at this, the speaker continued. " To him I have been dead for years indeed, I do not know what makes me tell you now, only that you sur- prised me, and I like to hear a little news of him. „ ir I have heard this history before, Max- l°*!u-" '*^t tell me by whose orders weU observed.

Fol- lowing the lead of tiieir chief, they treated him with every kindness nor was he in his turn inclined to resent his captivity or chafe at this delay. His chief fear was for Enid for Paulo Salvarini, though he was inclined to allow his prisoner every latitude, was brm upon the point of communication with the outer world for, as he pointed out, he might after all be guilty of some great treachery to the League, and in that case must be answerable for anythine that hap- pened. ' So the days passed on in that quiet spot, no further news coming to him till the morn- ing of the fourth day. Then he was sitting at the door of his hut, watching the sunrise glowing on the distant hills, when Salvarini approached him, his face perturbed, and his whole manner agitated. " You are in dan- ger," he whispered. "The orders have come, and yon are proclaimed traitor. The men are mad against you, and declare you shall be brought .out for instant execution. Ah you have only seen the best side of their character you have not seen them hungi^ for blood." "Do they want to murder me " Maxwell exclaimed. " Cannot you " "lam powerless now," Salvarini inter- rupted. " I will do what I can but I fear nothing can save you now." "Do not. be afraid," said a calm voice behind. " shall save him " "Isodore!" " Yes, Paulo Lucci it is L" Maxwell looked up, and saw the most beautiful woman he had ever seen in his life. For a moment he could only gaze in rapt astonishment. This, then, was the Empress of the League â€" the woman Visci had men tioned, whose lightest word could free his feet and clear his path forever. " You have come in time," Salvarini said with a low obeisance. " An hour hence and our prisoner would have been no more." ' I am always in time," Isodore replied quietly. " I have come to deliver you from a great danger," she continued, turning to MaxweU. " Come we must be in Rome at once, and away, or we may yet be too late. Hark Are the wolves clamouring for their prey already We shaU see." It was Ught now, and from the plateau beyond came the hoarse yells and cries for revenge from the brigands. On they came towards the hut, clamouring for blood, and mad with the heat of passion. They rushed in, seized Maxwell, and led him out on to the level grass, whUe six of the party stepped back a few paces and cocked their rifles. The whole thing was so sudden that Lucci and Isodore were totally unprepared to resist. But the girl roused herself now, and quitting the the hut, swept across the open space and placed herself in front of Maxwell. "Drop your arms!" she cried. "Are you mad, that you do this thing Ground your rifles, or yoti shaU pay dearly for this ind'gnity." Appalled by her gestures and the dignity of her voice, the desperadoes hesitated for a moment, and then one'j more daring than the rest, raised his carabine to the shoulder, standing in the act of firing. " You may fire," Isodore cried. " Fire and every hair of my head shaU be avenged for by a life Fire and then pray for the mercy of heaven, for yon shall not meet with any from the hand of man " The desperate men were amazed by this beauty and daring, the audacity of which appealed to their rude instinct. One by one they dropped their firearms, and stood look- ing sullenly in the direction of the scornful woman, standing there without a particle of fear in her eyes. "Who are you," cried one bolder than the rest â€" " who are you, that come between us and justice " They aU took up the cry, and bade her " If she faUs. I faU I" Lucci exclaimed in a firm steady voice. " Go on your knees, and ask for pardon. â€" Madam," he continu- ed, faUing upon one knee, " I did not think my foUowers would have shown such scant courtesy to Isodore." At the very mention of her name, a change came over the mutineers. One by one they dropped their firearms, and came forward humbly to implore her forgiveness for their rashness, but she waved them aside. Long and earnestly the three talked to gether, listening to the revelation of Le Gautier's treachery, and how the final act was about to be played over there in Eng- land how Le Geutier had confessed his treachery, and how, out of his own mouth, he was going to be convicted. Silently and slowly they wound their way down the mountain path, under Lucci's guidance, out on to the plains, beyond which the sun lighted upon the house-tops of distant Rome. When they had got so far, Isodore held out her hand to the guide. " Good-bye. It wiU not be safe for you to come any farther," she said. " Rest as- sured, in the general reckoning your account shall not be forgotten." "It wUl not,* Lucci answered sternly. " 1 shall see to that myself. By the time you reach England, I shall be there too.â€" Nay, do not try to dissuade me. I do not take mv revenge from another hand. I shall run a great risk but, mark me, when the time comes, I shaU be there " Without another word he disappeared and Isodore and MaxweU walked on towards the Eternal City both wrapped in their own thoughts. Mile after mUe passed on thus, ere MaxweU broke the sUence. "Do you think he wiU keep his word?" he said half timidly. "Who, Lucci? Yes; he wiU keep his word nothing but death wUl prevent that. â€"And now, yon and I must get ba«k to England without a moment's loss of time." "Icannot say how grateful I am,' MaxweU said earnestly, "if it had not been for your bravery and courage" -He stopped and shuddered the contemplation of what mieht have been was horrible. Isodore smUed a Uttle unsteadily m an- Bwer to these words. " I owe you a debt of gratitude," she repUed. " My memory se^es me weU. I was not going to allow you to die, when you would liavepenshed rather than raise a hand against Carib Visci." "liideed. you only do me justice. would have died first."

But until 1 give you permission to speak, not a word that Isodore and Gene- vieve are one and the same." " My lips are sealed. I leave everything in your hands." " And cannot you guess why you have incurred Le Gautier's enmity? â€" No? Simply, because he aspires to the hand of Enid Charteris. â€" You need not start," Isodore continued, laying her hand upon the Usten- er's arm. " You have no cause for anxiety •It wiU never be 1" " Never, whUe I can prevent it " MaxweU cried warmly. "It is impossible. He has a wife al- ready." Only tarrying for one mournful hour to visit the cemetery where lay Carlo Visci's quiet grave, Isodore and Maxwell made their way, but not together, to England, as fast as steam could carry them. (to be continued.) BT J0B5 naiB, f okbRlo. '" A Very Eemarkable Fiffht- "While travelling through the country with Bamum in 1881," said a veteran show- man, " I witnessed one of the most remark- able fighto on record. Four elephants against one man, and in the water, too. In July or August, ISSlj our show struck the pleasant Uttle City of Ottawa. You are doubtiess aware that elephants are extremely fond of bathing. For some little time before coming to Ottawa they had been deprived of that pleasure. No sooner were they unloaded from the train, however, than their sharp Uttle eyes caught sight of the river and tlie news was trumpeted about in elephant lan- guage from one to the other. They were very restive all day and betrayed great anxiety to bathe, and as soon as the after- noon performance was over the under keep- ers marched them to the river bank. I assure you many seconds did not elapse before the whole herd, twenty three in number, wer* splashing and dashing in the water like a lot of school boys. Such a strange sight natural- ly attracted the attention of the townspeople and the farmers who, with their famiUes had driven in to see the show, and I doubt very much whether the riveir at Ottawa ever presented such an animated appearance as on that day. " After awhile the keepers houted 'Mile up,' which in elephant phrase cgy means all in. Nineteen immediately sw ,0. to shore but no amount of shouting could inauce the other four to return. Men were Cent with rocks to the bridge and the entire circus force swarmed along both river banks try- ing with stones to turn the huge beasts in the direction of the canvas, but all in vain. As a last resource the chief trainer, George Artingstall, was sent for. The poor feUow had been sick in bed for over a week with malaria, but on learning of the difficulty mme diately dressed himself and came to the bank CaUing each elephant by name he ordered them to 'Mile up.' For a moment it looked as though his command would be obeyed, for the elephants, recognizing his voice, halted and seemed to waver in their course. Albert, the oldest and biggest set- tled the matter by uttering a loud snort of defiance, and led by him they once more started up the stream. Seeing at a glance that he could do nothing on shore, Mr. Art- ingstall made for the dressing room tent, from- which he soon emerged dressed in tumbler's tights, and placing the elephant prod or fork between his teeth, boldly swam out to the elephants. " Used as we were to strange sights we yet almostneld our breath at this daring act. When witnin a few yards of them Arting- stall again shouted 'Mile up,' but without effect. Then, seeming to lose his temper, he sprang upon the back of the nearest one, and commenced using his fork for all he was worth. Pretty sowi a cry of rage came from the animal, upon which the trainer jumped from one to another, repeating the fork per- formance until after at least ten minutes fierce fighting and jumping, the elephants cried peccavi and swam trembling to the shore. Once there the keepers soon had them under subjection, but ArtingstaU, who had displayed such intrepidity and courage, sank into a dead faint the moment he touch- ed shore. A Street of Tombs. An interesting discovery has very recently been made in the direct line between Pom- peii and Nocera. The digging of a well in a vineyard revealed the existence of a street of tombs, about one thousand feet east of the amphitheater of Pompeii. If the whole street is as closely lined with tombs as is the portion laid bare it will be one of the most important discoveries lately made in that part of the world; but unfortunaijbely money is wanting, so that the excavation is going on very slowly. Most of the tombs are covered with rude inscriptions painted in red, many of them being of the nature of advertisements, the tombs thus serving the purpose of a news- paper along the much-frei£uented road. The exact date has not yet been accurately as- certained, but they probably belong to the periods of Julius Caesar and Tiberius. A contrast may be drawn between the condi- tion of Pompeuihnd that of Permimon, which, although double the size of Pomptu, has, thanks to the energy of the Prussian govern- ment, been laid clear within eight years. In the latter beautiful finely painted statues, votive offerings to Athena, and belonging to the sixth century B. T., have been found bnned in the earth, and UteraUy formii^. the foundation of the houses above. Their style of art ia one hitherto not supposed pos- sible at so remote a period, and tney cause the rains of Pompeu to appear quite modern The discovery of an aqoMhiet vidoh Pj^h- ably dat^ back to the time of King Sol omon is reported from Jerusalem, and i' is confidentiy anticipated that the excav^on of it wiU bring to Ueht aome- extremely intereating and valuable inacrip tiona. â€" Swits Onas, Lrtii beware of "the maa (ly* who soona to woi Tet dsfM Mt nlimin from aatinr In the oonot hi* iMMtdoth mMBiMM Inric.

Afraid 1 est in thy duty thou ehould'st fail And prove thyself unworthy of the trust B.ut groundless were those fears as there prevail Sure tokens of thy deeds, both merciful and just. Al! Britons now with joy their voices raise. Exalting through each land thy glorious name, And with true happiness bing forth thy praise In peace and concord, adding to thy fame. Their throbbing hearts with love for thee abound, And eladly each one follows in the strain. As hymns of thankfulness on high they sound For all the blessings of thy happy virtuous reign. From far Australia's shores beyond the sea, There comes aeound cf gratitude sincere For all the acts of kindness done by thee Throughout thv long and prosp'rous career Fair Canada, in gladsome burst of song, Contributes to thy glory and renown In India, too, with voices loud and strong, A prayer ascends to God for her who wean the crdwn.

Thou shalt have every 1o.v and perfect rest, And when departed from this ^orld of pain. Thou may'st the Victor's crowd wear ever with the blest. Toronto's Coronation Ode. BY W. A. SHERWOOD. Long before yon grey cathedral rose to greet the ' SatAiath day, Long before its ulvery chiming echo'd o'er the watery way 1 When the red man roamed the forest for the bird whose plume he wore. Far be3'ond his homely wigwam on the thickly- wood- ed shore, Then*^ returning Old Toronto saw him wandering up and down With the braves who came to greet him from the neighboring Indian town Came they in to see the banners and to bear the bands men play. Grand old strains of British music on that Corona tion-Day. Trembling when the little cannon dared its iron voice to raise, â€" E'en the forest raemed to startle at the vigor of its praise Joyously they heard the story of the young Queen crown'd, till they, Homeward hastening flung the war-dance 'round the campfire at the bay From their heart with native kindness came the full- ness of their song. Yea, since fifty years of progress how the echo floats along. Balsam, pine and sugar-maple, birch and beech and sturdy oak, AU have ftdlen 'neath the forward sweepi-g of the woodman's stroke V And as backward moves the forest, so the red man steals away. Seeks the silence of the woodland from the noise and glare of day. And ten thousand stately mansions tell of something we have done. Since upon this day commemorate fifty years our race has run Other lights than Indian camp-fires gleaming all idong our bay. Stars' of civilization triumph on this Coronation Day! Yea, from furthest loyal westland see approach the iron steed. See the golden cars of commerce, synonyms of power and speed. Bearing tribute's costly treasures, hallow'd offerings of peace Lo ye toaitors of the Empire, look and let your scofiing cease. Know ye not our young Dominion rests her head on Britain's breast. And the standard o'er her floating is Victoria's Royal Crest? And, until that honor'd sceptre passes from our Mother's hand, TiU her dymg blessing crown j us undivided shall wer standi By the blood of Balaklava, by the battles of the plain, By the Burnaby and Gordon on the Khedive's desert slain. By the chains of slavery broken, by the God that we adore. By the grand old open Bible we are. one for ever- more A Big Canal Project! The French Minister of Public Works, re- plying to a question in the Chamber of De- puties, said the proposal to construct a canal connecting the Atlantic Ocean and the Med- iterranean Sea was not ripe for discussion. The work would cost $300,000,000, whUe the revenue from the tolls levied would not cover the interest. Adverting to the scheme to make Paris a seaport, the Minister said that in the present state of the country's finances the Government could not approve so costly an undertaking. The initiative must be left to private enterprise. He doubted whether the work was possible without the co-operation of the state. Austrian Evictions- In one^ear in Vienna. over 62,000 notices of eviction were serv^ for non payment of State and municipal taxes. The population of the city proper being at the time roughly 753,000. it follows that about one in every twelve Viennese had the legal sword sus- pended over hun. In no fewer than 14,795 cases the evictions were actuaUy carried out. Equally suggestive is the fact that in 1885 alone outdoor reUef had to be given here to 107,856 persons, whUe 35,708 arrests were made for vagrancy !bVe marriage" the question a girl aaks her lover most often ia "Do you reaUy love me?"
