She was an appariâ€" tion to fire the most cold-blooded. Beâ€" pervading color was the figure 0f 9' neath the black shawl drawn over her man on horseback, making his way lightly along the white road between the great cactus hedges. Nureddu, the little, long-tailed black mare, stepped as though shod with velvet, and her rider sat as if he were part of the steed. Against the red and yellow sky the swiftly moving silhouette resem- bled a design on an Etruscan vase. fOI‘ Antonio Sairo wore the black garb and long sable cape of the Sard peasant. Even the smooth dark green velvet waistcoat scarcely relieved the sombre- ness of his attire. Nureddu repaid her master’s whip- less trust, by moving rapidly, but she might have followed her own best, for Antonio Sairo was not thinking of his horse’s gait. Castles were building un- der the Phrygian cap. "If she says yes, Priest Mauro shall make the demand of Pietro Pintus t0~ marrow. Ah, what red lips she has. little dove of my heart,!

With a house of her own she will make more baskets and bread-sieves in an hour than they do in a day.” Sairo's eyes softened and deepened; he al- ready saw the girl weaving asphodel under his own reed ceiling. He laid his hand on Nureddu’s neck, and gave a peculiar whistle. " Up, little horse of mine, or we shall be too late to see her.” The gentle creature sprang forward and bore Antonio Sairo like a racer over the plain, but, as they crossed an intersecting road .a man started up from behind the cactus hedge and planted himself in their path. Nuâ€" reddu shied slightly, and then stood still. He was dressed like the rider, ex- cept that, instead of close black breaches, he wore dirty loose white trousers fastened into the gartered gaiters at his knee. Antonio frowned. ” You startle cine, Deledda." " One would not have thought you the man, Sairo. to be frightened because a friend waited for you at cross roads.” A little smile dawned in Antonio’s kind brown eyes, but he asked blunt»- ly:-- "What. will you, Deledda i" "To buy that horse.

I would as soon sell my right arm.” He stroked the mare’s flanks caress- ingly. Nureddu knew who they were talking of, but, with too much sense to interfere, only stood still and listened. "Your right arm would not bring five hundred francs in a burr," said the other sneeringly, “ or your horse either. ofir that matter. but I have taken a fancy ‘to the beast, and I am ready to do a foolish thing." ” It would not be foolish if you could get my Nuneddu; but my little dame Goodâ€"night, De- May Madonna aid you to find a and I do not ledda. horse to your mind."

A tree flung its branches over the wall, and from the midst of the foliage came the sound of singing in a mare stop to the big high key.

There was a dead silence; no answer begged man. but he obtained no re- sponse. "They will call thee soon to supper. and I shall not have seen thee in all.

Her broidered scarlet sleeve and the white one beneath it were turned back to reveal the soft roundness of the arm resting on the cold grey stone. The garden was on a_slope so that Sairo on Nureddu’s back in the road be- low could 'ust reach to the top of the parapet on) which she leaned.

He rose up in his stir- rups, and flung his arms about her; but when the startled girl drew back. and he saw the surprised look in her eyes, sudden remorse smote him. He fall back into his saddle. and gazed up in a reaction of penitence. at the girl who, in the impetuosity of his em- brace, had dropped her shawl, and for the first time in her life stood bare- headed before him.

At last the broad, long pearl earrings and the twenty big gold beads were selected, bargained over, and paid for, and Sairo left the shop With his head in the clouds and the premons parcel fastened under his velvet waistcoat. He felt as though it was Beppicchla’s little hand on his heart, and he already tasted the delight of fastening the necklace around her smooth throat. Thesights of Casteddu were nothing to him at that moment, and he passed through the city With unsseing eyes. He burned with impatience to get back to Beppicchia and have her for 1118 very own.
