DEVOTED TO THE COAL INTERESTS, POLITICS, NEWS, LITERATURE, AGRICULTURE, AND GENERAL INTELLIGENCE, and irregular wall of rock, and the brawling torrent at its base sent up a wild music which harmonized well with the savage grandeur of the scene. The young man explained that he meant to scramble down from this point, gain the road, and walk to Subiaco, which he would probably reach in two hours, as his way was principally down hill. There he meant to arouse the authorities,and have a sufficient armed force sent out to their aid, while he himself got a horse and galloped back. she heard were, "Nettie, I trust to you ; my signal will be a long low whistle." Wiping her eyes she looked after him ; there was a sound of crackling branches and of falling stones ; then a cheerful " all right!" and, gradually, all sound was lost in the brawling of the mountain torrent below. She untied the knot, and folded the scarf tight about her. Feeling its warmth, she became comforted, and carefully retraced her steps. cold, and sat with her eyes cast down, scarcely speaking.

When slio joined the group the ghost story was just coming to an end. She had scarcely been missed, and her rather confused explanation that Mr. Darley had chosen to continue his search for rare marbles, was accepted almost without comment. Boon, everything was quiet. The two Germans and Jack, their pistols placed within reach, stretched themselves on the hard table ; while Mrs. Redgrave, in spite of ghosts and ghostly ruined castles, soon slept the sleep of the just on her cushions.

See just below this remnant of pillar, which seems to have been left here for my special benefit, grows a fig tree from out a Assure of a rock. To get down as far as that figtree is the only really difficult part. After that, if you notice, there are ledges of rocks, bushes and a hundred little helps, which are more than sufficient for an experienced scrambler like mc. Now you see this plaid of mine ; it is soft and pliable, but very strong and very long too. This we fasten firmly to the pillar—so, and what more do I need ? Do not fear for me, IVPss Nettie ; indeed, I run no serious risk. Let me teach you how to make a solid knot—that thing which women do not learn from instinct, is it not ? And you know much will depend on the knot. I dare not leave the scarf dangling, lest, by some chance, any of our brigands should see it, so I must depend upon you, some five or six hours hence, to steal back here and fasten it once more.

Softly rising, she left her aunt's side and walked across to the broken opening, where once a casement had been. She discerned through the tangled, topmost branches of the trees, a pure, white radiance ; then, from over the crest of a rounded hill, rose, in slow and stately majesty, the full, round moon, casting a smile of gracious light on all things. Nettie folded her hands, and looked on all this with a childlike and wondering admiration ; it was such a common thing, this rising of the moon on a clear, soft night; yet it struck her senses as a wonderful and mysterious spectacle ; it was as though she then saw it for the first time ; and in spite of danger, in spite of the new and strange emotions which had crowded in upon her young heart, she became absorbed in a great devout calm, as though the all-pervading moonlight were a visible Providence in which she reposed, feeling no fear.

Not all the assurances that help was at hand, not ail the coaxing and caresses of her nieco suillced to rally her courage; and when the brigands, at last discovering that their proposed victims wero on the alert, fired a well-directed shot, which hit the ruined wall a little above Nettie's head, the poor lady shrank into a corner and loudly bewailed the day when she had been persuaded to leave her safe and comfortable English couutry Orders lefl at Roades' Drug Store will meet prompt attention.

Then, being in an unusually reflective state of mind, she asked herself how this all came to pass; by what subtle law of affinity she knew that this comparative stranger, this man of whose very existence she had been ignorant a week ago, was the one being without whom life would now seem a blank. Suddenly a fancy struck her and made her smile. When he had asked her for the knot of blue ribbon he had called it a talisman and such it was, of course. It was all the work of that girlish ornament.

As she was turning, she was recalled by a sound, thrilling and strange: it was the song of the nightingale, celebrating the beauties of the soft night. In after years, Nettie never heard the notes of the nightingale without once more seeing the whole picture rise before her—jutting irregular ruins; the broken casement, forming a rugged frame for her own figure; the forest clearance, with its flower-dotted carpet of green, flooded with moouliglit; the old gnarled trees, with their ever young foliage; the towering peaks of the .Sabine hills; and pervading the whole, ascene of danger, the only outward sign of which was a faint curling feather of smoke, rising among the trees, probably from a fire around which the over-secure brigands slept.

It seemed quite natural that Nettie, putting her fingers-in her ears, should get as far from the listening group as possible; and when the interest was at its height, Mr. Darley whispered, "Now, come!" She rose quietly and unobserved, except by her cousin Jack, who jealously lollowod her ; she repulsed him with a petulant gesture, saying, "Mr. Darley is going to show me where he thinks the old temple must have stood, because he sees that I hate ghost stories. . . ."

Then how her heart beat, and how she shut her eyes, praying and trembling as the noise of falling stones and breaking branches marked the perilous ascent!
