HIE great fault was that in the cause of liaerty any weaponswere allowable, any crimes were pardonable. We‘ Englishmen, whose idea of t) ranny and oppression is being debarred lrcm the exercise of the franchise. can neither understand nor sympathize with a man of his type. We may call the Govern- ment righteous or corrupt as we are Whigs or Tories, and one side happens to be in or out; but. at least. we are ruled by our countrymen. elected by some of us for that purpose. Let us be for years and years at the mercy of a foreigner, and we in sy understand what patriotism in Ceneri‘s sense means. “ N Janitor. Tell me the' whole terrible abo_ry." "Hie mother‘s was Italy." replied Ceneri. almost fiercely. " He had our blood in his Veins. His mother was a true lualiun.

He had studied Anthony’s oheraoter. and felt euro thnt when he knew the truth hie one wish would he to tote revenge on the treudulent true~ tee. Generi could see nothing before him but u well-deaerved term of penal servitude. It the English law failed to touch him. thet of his own country might be brought aggluet him. SJ long as he had money in hand to meet Anthony's demands. he postponed the evil day of confession. The idea. which Mmri had tried to work outwith my aid.of appeal. ing to the Italian Government for a return of some of the amountsexpended. suggested itself to him ; but to carry this out it would be necessary to let his nephew know what had taken placeâ€"the appeal must be made in his name. As soon as the youth should reach man's estate, Ceneri had resolved to make a clean breast of his delalc ationsâ€"to tell him how the money had been spentâ€"to beg his forgiveness, and. it necessary. bear the penalty of his fraudulent act. But so long as any money remained he delayed doing so. The young man. if eviucing no sympathy with his uncle's regeneration schemes and pursuit of liberty, fully believed in his integrity. Feeling assured that when he came of age he would succeed to a splendid inheritance, swelled by accu- mulated savings, he threw away money in a thousand and one extravagant ways, till Ceneii soon saw that the end of the reserve lund was drawing pear. He had kept. I said. a few thousand pounds. The boy and the girl were grow- ing up, and their uncle thought thnt even his patriotism permitted him to keep back enough to complete their education and start them in lile. Pauline was promising to be so beautiful that he troubled linle about her future. A rich husband Would not everythirg right to her. But Anthony â€"who was becoming a wild, headstrong fallowâ€"wee another ufl‘eir. Titles and honors were afterward offered him for his great though secret service. It makes me think better of the man that he refused all reward. His conscience may have told him he had not robbed himself. Any way, he remained plain Dr. Ceneri. and broke with his old leaders and friends when he found that Italy was to be a king- dom. and_n9t a r'egublic1 Except s few thousand pounds. he ruth- lessly realized end sacrificed the whole of the children's inheritance.

Any way he wrote at once to his uncle. imieting upon an immediate settlement. In the event of any delay he would consult a. solicitor, and it necessary tuke criminal proceedings again; the itruetee. Maoari still persecuted the girl without success. At last, almost desperate. he formed the wild plan of tryingtoenlist her brother on his side. His idea was that Pauline's love for Anthony would induce her to yield to any wish he expressed. He was no particular iriend of the young man’s,hut. havnng onoe rendered him a signal service, felt himself entitled to ask a favor at his hands. Knowing that both brother and sister were penniiess he had lesghesitstion in so doing.
