She had a great gift; she was a singer; and, sooner than De de- pendent upon her relates, she had sung at concert and operas, until all Burope kncw of her fame. When I was exiled I was given séven days in which to make my adieux. I went to her, and de- clared my love. She did not abso- lutely reject me, nor did she accept me, She asked for time for con- sideration. TI could give her none! I begged her to leave the country with me. Alas! she would not! Per- haps I was too passionate, too pre- cipitate! It may have been so; I cannot say. I went away alone and left her. I plunged into gay life at Paris; YT dwelt among the lone- liest mountains of Switzerland; I endured the dullness of this cold gray London, and the dissipation of Vienna. It was all in vain! One by one they palled upon me. No manner of life, no change of scene, could cure me of my love, I fell ill, and I koew that my heart was breaking. You and I, Margharita, come 6f a race whose love and hatred are eternal!" She crept into his arms; and he went on, holding her there, ° "Back T came at the peril of my life; eontent to die, if it were only at her feet. I found her cold and changed; blaming me. @¥en for my raghness, desiring even my absence. Not a word of pity to sweeten those weary aays of exile; not a word of hope to repay me for all that I had risked to see her again. Soon I knew the reason--another love had stol- en away her heart. There was an Englishman visiting her daily at Palermo; and she told me calmly one day that ghe loved him, and in- tended to hecome his wife. She for- got my long years of devoted sers vice; she forgot her own unspoken, yet understood, promise; she fof= got all that T had suffered for her; she forgot that her words must gound to me as the death warrant of -all joy and happiness in this world. And she forgot, too, that Y was 3 Marioni! Was I wrong, IY wonder, Margharita, that I quarrel- ed with him! You are a child, and yet my instinct tells me that you have a woman's judgment!

"Margharita, you are & true daughter of your country!" the old man erfed. "You are a Marionil Listen! I insulted him! He decline ed to fight! I struck him across the face in a public restaurant, and forced him to accept my chall- enge. The thing was arranged. We stood face to face on the sand, sword in hand. The word had been given! His life was at my merey; theme after my first arrest. or "Go on! Go on!" she cried. "Let me hear the rest." "Then, as I stood there, Marghar- ita, love shriveled up, and hate reigned in its place. The memory; of the oath of our Order flashed in-! to my mind. A curtain seemed raised before my eyes. I saw the long narrow room of our meeting place, I saw the dark, faithful fac- es of my comrades. I heard their firm voices--"Vengeance upon traitors, vengeance upon traitors!' She, too, this woman who had be- trayed me, had worn .our flower upon her bosom and in her hair! She had come under the ban of that oath. Margharita, I threw mw sword into the sea, and I raised my clasped hands to the sky, and I swore that, were it the last day of my life, the day of my release should see me avenged. Let them, hide in the uttermost corners of the earth, I cried, that false woman and her English lover, still I would find them out, and they should taste of my vengeance! To my trial I went, with that oath written fin my heart. I carried it with me into my prison cell, and day by day and year by year I repeated it to myself. It kept me alive; the de- sire of it grew into my being. Even now it burns in my heart! "During my captivity I was allow- ed to see my lawyer, and I made over by deed so much, to. be paid every year to the funds of our Order at the London Branch, for our headquarters had been moved Day by qay I dreamed of the time when I should stand, 4 martyr in their cause, before my. old eomrades, andi | demand of them the vengeance which was my due. I imagined them, ohe by one, grasping my hand, full of deep, silent sympathy with my long sufferings. I heard again the oath which we - had sworn--'Vengeance upon traitors, vengeance upon traitors!" It was the ye uth kept me alive, the hope which nourished my life!" The dark eyes glowed upon him like stars, and her voide trembled with eagerness. "You have been to them? You will be avenged! Tell me that fit is'so?" IA, little choking sob escaped from him, The numbness was passing a- way from his heart and sense. His sorrows were becoming human, and demanding human expression. | "Alas, Margharita, alas!" he cried, with drooping head, "the bit- terest disappointment of 'my life e upon me unawares, While I lave lain rotting in prison history has turned over many pages.

The entertainers were Harvey Bro- thers, of Toronto; Miss Fallow- down, of Sunderland; and a violin- ist from Port Perry. Each num- ber they gave proved its merits by the hearty encores given.
