And it was not alone repose which gave the day its warrant. It was not all a matter of physical exhaustion. though that was a potent considera- tion. It was the veneration of adeity, recognition of a sacred day. the ap- preciation of one season different from other seasons. That was and is at. the root of the reason for the Sabbath be- fore the beginning of our era, and. be- yond the influence of Judaism, just as it is'now, and in Christendom. Man needs a change of thought and of la- bor and a break in the monotony of existence. Coupled with that senti- ment which brought reverence with the day wasâ€"logicallyâ€"a tendency tobet- ter apparel. Man put on his fairer gar- ments that day. He found a sort of worship in the act. and it made him better. He expressed and emphasized the difference between himself and the animals beside which he had worked through the week. He was a nobler creature. The Sabbath was made for him, and it blessed him. The mission of Sunday has never changed from those distant eras when the one day in seven was slowly set apart and recognized. It calls to rest. But the rest that best utilizes the day is that departure from the thought of the week. from the plans of com- mon occupation. from the study. the care, the very amusement of the oth- er six days. The rest that best bless- es man is the resolute marking of this day as different from other days and better and holier than they. Ir. Muzak-toll 'l'rles Ills land at a Recipe for the fare of“. "Everybody tells us,” says Mr. Stog- gleton. “not to worry. They tell us that worry never did anybody any good, and that on the other hand it. absoiutely impairs one’s capacity for work. and so helps to aggravate the very situation that we are worrying over. This is true, all of it, and sound advice it is, too, and it has all been said many times; but it should be more often supplemented with detailed in- st rudions as to how to avoid worry- ing. Now let me make a try at it. Perhaps I shall repeat things that I’ve said before. but if I do, it will be be- cause - I think they’re good for hu- manity.” “A prime necessity of our permanent freedom from worrying is the posses- sion of the personal quaiity commonly known as sand. If a man has not been endomed with sand by nature he must pick it up for himselt; nobody is going to give him any, but he can do this easier than he thinks. “)Iost of the things we worry over are only lmgbears that fade and dis- appear upon the first attack. Herein lies the first secret of successâ€"in at- tack; and the great secret lies in per- sistence, in keeping always at work.

But back of man's little judgment was the great humâ€"an necessity for that very ordin- ance. Somehow the interval was fixed so wisely that the weariness of six days was satisfied in the repose of the seventh. France tried one time to set the days of rest farther apart, and one in ten became the rule. But the rea- son which ages of experience proved before revolutions were possible was a reason still when the Bastile tell.

With a quick. firm grip, Henri V3, vallia took the marquis by the am. “'0 have said that our painter’s thews and sinews had been toned and strengthened and his muscles tem- pered by long and continuous manly athletic exercises. and the sword had been with him a favorite com- panion from his earliest youth. It had been said of him at Madrid, Spain. that he was the best swordsman And on the present occasion he had lost nothing of his “cunning of- fence" since that time. And on the present occasion he had a marked advantage in that he was 8001 and collected while the other was mad with passion. The conflict, if such it could be called, was quickly over. The marquis attacked furious- ly, exposing himself in the outset to a fatal thrust, had his opponent desired to give it, but such was not the artist’s purpose. He suffered Stef- fano to worry and frett and waste his energy in futile plunges and blows. for more than once he sought to strike and cut as with an edged sword, suffered him to thoroughly display himself, and then, with a twist which he knew well how to apply, he caught the opposing rapier by its point and its hilt and sent it flying into the river. “Denaro! Your rapier! Give itto me!" And the marquis, in his wild paroxysms of fury and chagrin. grasp- ed at its hilt as though he would have taken it. Next, as soon as the madman could collect his thoughts, he turned with a fierce oathâ€"a volley of oathsâ€"toward the calm and tranquil painter with an evident intent to attackl him with his greatest need, gallantly thrown him- self into the breach. :He was a small, delicate. . pffeminate-looking youth of one or two and twenty a handsome lad, and son of the Count John Valvallia: his name Henri.

And with a quick movement the marquis whipped out his rapier and aimed a. blow at the other’s cheek, and he would have succeeded had not Zanoni put up his arm in season to ward it off. Steffano shouted. whirling him around by the exercise on turning to the painter, when he had l a. strength which no one would havd put his would-be mentor away. “I believed from his appearance, that he say it again. you are a sneak and a .could have possessed. . cowardly villain! and :I intend t0‘ “Steffano Parnesel Llstenfo me. take it upon myself to put a stop to If you do not give over this disgrace- your imprudence." , ' ' , "Marquis!"

The painter, who had gone but a short distance away. hearing the sharp snapping of the breaking blade, in- stinctively turned his head and looked back, meeting as he did so the venge' ful look of Steffano fixed upon himâ€"a look deadly in its blackness of hate. “Go! go!” the marquis articulated, in a tone partly a shriek and partly a howl. “ The day of reckoning between us will come, and when it does, look toyourself !" .

If I have read the beautiful girl aright, she is the very soul of truth and honor. and she can not witness Denaro's course toward the marquis without seeing its duplicity." “That is a hard word. Paulo.” “I know it but it is not true? I know the count's good qualities. He has been a true and loyal friend to you and me. Yet I can see his weakness. and this seeking to win the favor of such awoman by the sacrifice of his own peace and comfort is one of them.

F irst, you must remember that Guiseppe Denaro is deeply in love with the Princess di Varona. He lOves her passionately. and, I do not doubt, would almost give his life for her love in return. He fancies, I have thought, that Stef- fano “fields a considerable influence over her, and that whatever he can do to help him will please her. At all events the marquis is related to her, and she would naturally desire that he should prosper: so the count feels it to be policy to promote that pros- perity if he can. â€"-'-V w. through the count they had been thrown occasionally into the society at the Marquis Steffano Farneae. “Henri." said Paulo, when he had assured himself that they were be- yond the hearing of others. “I wish you would no: go back to that box.
