THE OSHAWA DAILY: TIMES, MONDAY, JULY 22, 1929 PAGE SEVEN a i ii of iff § is crowded with men of all and nations, who sit before marble tables facing the sea. / At one of these, so close to the prom« "shade that the dresses of the passers- oy 'almost touched them, two men were seated. One was of an order and race easily distinguished in any quarter of HL upon the gay scene with keen interest. His features were well cut, his eyes were blue, and his bronze face was smooth, save for a slight, well-formed moustache. He wore a brown tweed coat and waistcoat, flannel trousers, a straw hat tilted over his eyes, and he "was smoking a brief pipe. iHis companion was of a different type. , He was of medium height only, and thin; his complexion was sallow, and his eyes and hair were black. His features, though not altogether pleasing, were regular, and almost classical in outline. His clothes dis- played him to the worst possible ad- vantage. He wore black trousers and a 'dark frock coat, tightly fitting, which accentuated the narrowness of his shoulders. The only relief to the sombreness of his attire consisted in a white flower carefully fastened in his e. They were only acquaintances, these two men; chance had brought them together for some. evil purpose of her own, They had become for a while companions, albeit silent ones. The Englishman was in far too good a humor with himself, the place, and his surroundings, to hold his peace for long. He exchanged his pipe for a Havana, and commenced to "It's very stupid of me, but do you know, I've quite forgotten your name for the moment. I remember my cousin, Cis Davenport, introducing us at Rome, and I knew you again directly I saw you. But I'm hanged if. I can think of your name! I always had a precious bad memory." The Sicilian looked none too well pleased at the implied request. "I do not object to telling you my name," he said in a low tone, sunk almost to a whisper, "but you will pardon me if I make a request which may appear somewhat singular to you. I do not wish you to address me by | eq It here, or to mention it. To be frank there are reasons for wishing my resence in this neighborhood not to known. You are a gentleman, and Jou will understand." "Oh, perfectly," the Englishman nswered him, in a tone of blank lderment. "My name is Leonardo di Marioni!" "By Jove! of course it is!" the glishman exclaimed. "I should ave thought of it in a moment." "You will not forget my request, wad if you have occasion to address .me, perhaps you will be so good as to do so by the name of 'Cortegi.' {t is the name by which I am known here, and to which I have some right." The Englishman nodded. "All right. I'll remember. By the bye," he went on, "I had the pleasure of 'meeting your sister in Naples, I believe. She is engaged to marry Martin Briscoe, isn't she?" The Sicilian's face darkened into a scowl; the thin lips were tightly com- pressed, and his eyes flashed with angry light. "I was not aware of it," he ans- wered haughtily. There was a brief lull in the stream of promenaders. abe] The Englishman looked into the eyes of the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. A flood of silver moonlight lay upon the Marina, | ng away across the dark blue wal of the bay, and the soft dazzl- ing light gently touched her hair, and gleamed in her dark, sweet eyes. She was tall, and' clad in white flowing \raperies olinging softly around her their | which never altogether :lied away. It complexion, caused ner to lower her the eager, impassioned gaze of the young Englishman. Afterwards he was never ashamed to confess that that :aoment brought with it a peculiar ling?ring sweetness was the birth of a new sensation, the most poignant of all sensations, al- though philosophers deny and mate- rialists scoff at it. After all, there is something more than refined sensual- ity in love which has so sudden a dawning; there is a certain inmate spirituality which sublimates and purifies it, so that the flame burns softly but brightly still through joy and grief, omeking at safety, surviving ths sorrow of gray hairs, triumphing @ver the desolation of old age, and sweetening the passage to the grave. He was a headstrong, chivalrous young man, passionate, loyal, and faithful, among all his faults. That first love of his never grew cold, never lessened. It lasted forever. For some men it is not possible to give the better part of themselves up to the worship of a pure woman; selfishness forbids it. But this young English. man who sat there spellbound, ab- sorbed in the consciousness of this new and sweet emotion, was not one of these. Suddenly she withdrew her eyes with a faint, conscious blush and as she did so she saw for the first time the Sicilian. Her whole aspect swiftly changed. A terrific shudder swept across her features, and her lips part- ed with fear. "Who is she?" the Englishman ask- ed abruptly. "I fear that I do not quite under- stand you," he said quietly, although his voice and limbs were trembling with passion; "to whom do you a- lude?" "The girl in white who passed just now. You knew her! Tell me her name!" "Why should 1?" "I wish to know it." "Possibly. But that is no reason why I should tell it to you. That lady is a friend of mine, certainly, but it is not the custom in my country, however it may be in yours, to bandy a lady's name about a public place." At the door of the hotel the Eng- lishman paused for a moment, and then, instead of joining the stream of promenaders, he entered and slow- ly ascended the broad marble stair- case toward his room. Just as he reached the first landing, however, a guttural voice in his ear. He turn- ed sharply around, and found before him one of the waiters--the one who had served him with his coffee out- side. "Well! what do you want?" he ask- The man answered in a low tone, with his eyes glancing suspiciously a- round all the time. "The Signor was inquiring the name of the lady who passed by," he said apologetically. eyes, and in doing so they fell upon | her he felt a light touch on his arm, and | seq, Did she know that I was following 9» "I think she saw you. She said nothing when I lingered behind. It was as though she knew." The Sicilian clasped his hands, and looked away over the sea, The moon- light fell upon his weary pallid face, and glistened in his dark sad eyes. He spoke more to himself than her. "She knew! And yet she would net wait to speak a single word to me! Anh! it is cruel! If only she could know how night by night, in those far-distant countries, I have lain on the valleys, thinking and dreaming of her--always of her! It has been an evil time with me, my sister, a time of dreary days and sleepless nights. And this is the end of it! My heart is faint and sick with long ing, and I hastened here before it should break. I must see her, Mar- gharita! Let us hasten on to the villa!" She laid her hand upon his arm. Her eyes were soft with coming tears. "Leonardo, listen," she cried. "It is best to tell you. She will not see you, She is quite firm. She is angry with you for coming." "Angry with me! Angry because I love her, so that I risk my life just to see her, to hear her speak! Ah! but that is cruel! Let me go in and speak to her! Let me plead with her in my own fashion!" She shook her head. "Leonardo, the truth is best," she said softly. "Adrienne does not love you. She is quite determined not"to see you again. Even I, pleading with tears in my eyes, could not persuade her. She has locked herself in her room while she prepares for the con- cert. You could not see her unless you forced yourself upon her, and that would not do," "No, I would not do that," he an- swered wearily. "Margharita, there is a question; I must ask it, though the answer kill me. Is there--any one else?" She shook her head. "There is no one else, Leonardo, yet. But what matter is that, since {it can- not be you? Some day it will come. All that a sister could do I have done. She pities you, Leonardo, but she does not love you. She never will!" He moved from the open space, where the moonlight fell upon his marble face, to the shadow of the magnolia grove, He stood there quite silent for a moment. Then he spoke in a strained hard voice, which she reely y "Margharita, you have done your best for me. You do not know what a man's love is, or you would not wonder that I suffer so much, Yet if it must be, it must. I will give her up. I will go back to my exile and forget her. Yet since I am here grant me a last favor. Let me see her to say farewell." She looked up at him in distress. "Leonard, how can I? She has given orders that under no circum- "Well?" "I can tell it to the Signor." "Look sharp then!" i "The Signor is generous," he re- marked, with a cunning look. "I have risked my place by leaving the ter- race with permission to bring him this news, and I am poor--very, very poor!" he added, with a sudden drop in his voice which resembled a whine. The Englishman threw a piece of gold into the brown, greedy palm, "The Signor is noble. The beauti- ful lady's name is Signorina Adri- enne Cartuccio." ! "The singer?" "The same, singer." : "Ah!" : The Englishman turned toward the: wide, open window, and gazed stead-| fastly at the place in the crowd! where she had vanished. | On the brow of the Hill Fiolesse, at a sharp angle in.the white dusty road, a man and woman stood talk- ing. On one side of them was a grove of flowering magnolias, and on the other a high, closely-trimmed hedge skirted the grounds of the Villa Liolesse. There was not an- other soul in sight, but, as though the palce were not secure enough from interruption, the girl, every now Signor.

J THREE OF FAMILY: HILLED BY FLIER (Continued From Page 1) car was hit by the North Shoru Limited Michigan Central Railroad fast Chicago-New York passenger express. A second son, Tony, sv years old, escaped when he jumped just before the train crashed into the automobile and carried it 75 feet down the track with its human load. Death was instantaneous in all three cases, and the bodies were terribly mangled. id The accident occurred a few minutes after 9 o'clock yesterday morning. The mother and father, with their two sons, had started from their home, about, 300 yards from the railroad tracks, Farr"s private crossing is the only means of egress to the highway from the premises. Before entering on the tracks, a gate had to be opened. This was done by one of the lads. The car had started up again, but became stalled after mounting the slight grade, only to stop astride the westbound track. There is a clear view in both directions. The father, who was driving, started the car up again, aware that the train was speeding toward his stalled car but the rear wheels of the car rail- ed to take hold in the loose stones. Survivor Hit by Debris It was all over in a flash, the automobile being hit and hurled over the body of the only survivor, who had leaped into the ditch. The boy was knocked unconscious when a part of the car struck him. The train was stopped within its length but when the crew inspected the victims. all were dead. Police Constable McNicholl of Crowland was called ,as was also Dr. Allison of Welland, the coroner, who ordered an inquest. The probe was opened this afternoon and ad- journed until July 29, Jacob Ruckstuhl, a young Swede, who was employed on the farm of Harold Arthurs, Ancaster Highway, was killed instantly on Friday afternoon when he touched a metal fence which had become charged with 4,400 volts of elec- triciyt. He was to have been mar- ried on Tuesday to his boyhood sweetheart, who came from Sweden a few weeks ago. "A large elm tree on the farm is said to have short-circuited the power line, with the result that two wires parted and one section fell across the wire fence and surcharged it. Grass caught fire, and Ruckstuhl went to investigate, when he is thought to have taken hold of the fence with one hand and was electrocuted. Youth Is Killed Granby, Que., July 22.--Richard Southam Jr.,, 25 years of age, of Montreal, the son of Richard Suvu- tham, President of the Southam Press Limited, Toronto, was yu- stantly killed in an automobile ac- cident seven miles from here early yesterday. Ian Nichols, a compan- ion, also of Montreal, suffered back injuries and was removed to the "But to say farewell!" "She would not believe it. It has been so before, Leonardo, and then you have been passionate, and plead- ed your cause all over again. I have promised that I will never ask her to fee you again." "Then let me see her without ask- ing. You can find an opportunity, if you will. For my sake, Margharita!" STOMACH PAINS? Get rid of them Perman- ently with "Frait-a-tives.
