blue eyes of Lionel fixed steadily upon
her.
"We must go homo, Tina," said she to tho
child who was watching tho doves wash
themselves in the basin of the fountain, and
she swung it up to her shoulder, where It'
wound ils tiny hands in her dark hair,lnn$cn
ing soinu of the colls that fell heavily down
below her waist. A Hush cuno over tlio
pale olive skin.
"Thou art a bad cliih , Tjun !" bho said,
as sho hastily twisted up tlio long tresses
under the folds ol L'cr white head gear.
The long lustnim eyes had but looked at
Lionel for a moment, and yet they seemed
to havo (old him a long story that he hud
been in the past trying to decipher
Next ho had oeen her in church, kneel

tilagain she perceived him, nnd witli u star

To-day Terc.t slood leaning against a
s'oue pillar, playing with tho pink blossom
of acatalpa tlint stood near her, when sud
denly she found herself onco more facoto
face' with tho Knglish stronger.
Ho had diseoverol her name Teiesivj

atid worked haul to support her parents.
To-day she second In bo Inking life ejisily
drinking in tlm splendor of the purple
misls and golden sheutsof sunlight with true.
Italian indolence.
''Dolce far iti ule ' thought Lionel, as lie
looked at tlie hliilucliko' figure, und' the
head thrown back, pa'rtly with vvearinesx,
partlly w ith. an. i.titei'so"'ippircciati,ci) "of tho"
beauty around her
Hut .Tcies.'i's rest was not to Uo, of long
'duration. The mercanti nf tlio OainpagniL
hud bent for laborersto gathcrin tlie.Iiarvest
and men and women wero forming into
bands to join in tlio work. Teresa was go
ing, so gossip had told Lionel, and to lilm
it seemed a sacrilege that the beautiful insid
cu should toil nnd slavo with tho common
multitude. Hut what could he do f And
in tlio midst of )U meditations tlio girl
raised her face, nud again their eyes met.
"Teresa?" Tlio namo burst involuntarily
from his lips.
Shoftlnrtcd and blushed, but this tlmo
did not flee a way. She looked at Lionel,
"iSi, bignore,'' 'slio answered,
"That Id a pretty flower," fault Lionel ;
"will you ijive it to me?"
SI10 made no rrplv, but put tlie blossom
Into his hand. And so tho ncfpialiilituce
was made, und the two chatted away in Iho
sunshine.
II.
Lionel had gone to Tninns GVochi' lodg
ing. "Ilul your daughter Is not ktrong f nouj-h
for such work I" said lie, in conclusion to a
long harangue.
Tho old mini shrugged Ida shoulders,
"INivf rty," wild he, "U a hard' master, nnd
T(no. I n goouVglrl., ,
"Too Rood to endanger her life In tho
ItilU nf tho Cninpngna. Think of tho rlik,

HutTomiu bsoked beck beyond tho dU
comfoils nnd rcniemliered a tlmo when the
plains rwoundul with kong nnd laughter,
nnd tlio wind was bronchod nal houitt wtiro

"I found my wife llierc." snld he." nnd

Lionel Instinctively drew back, A hus

10 ho the bride of n king,
"Oan.you tint find n mbstituto for your

for Teresa had come Into tho room,
"How much will It cost tu get n substitute,
Teresa ?"
Teresa laughed. "Olovanetta would pay
11 she could get to go in my place," said
she. There are too many ready and willing
to go."
"Let them go then," responded Lionel,
eagerly.
''Thcsigiiore forgets wo must have money,"
returned Terea.
Scarcely lliiiiklng of what ho was doing,
Lionel had pouted out the contents of a
purse full of English gold upon the table.
The (piielc car of Tomas caught the noiiud ;
lie stretched out his hand as if to clutch the
ringing coin, but Teresa sprang between,
turning a Hashing face upon Lionel.
"Wo are not beggars I" she exclaimed J
"I work for my bread P
"Will you not let 1110 help you ?" aiktd
Lionel, in a low tone.
"You cannot," she replied, iu an equally
low voice ; and the flash died out of her
face, for Lionel's tone was very humble, and
his eyes had spoken something to her thnt
her heart answered. She gathered the
money together and put it into his hands.
"It must not be," said she, as sho sorrow
fully departed.
"' iou art a fool, child I" said Tomas
Cecchl, when Lionel win out of hearing.
"These Knglish know not what to do with
their gold, and wo should have been all the
heller fur it. '
ill.
Slowly plodded the Lugo giuv oxen uvcr
the plains nf the (J.tmp.igiia ; lu.ily -aunter-ed
the driver at their side. IIiov and ihei
ono heard the sounds of merriment ; them
again were silent toilers; hem worn our,
laborers who hud crept into the slindti and

here and llieio a pateli ol "tin-gilt Wider.
Ail ibis Lionel saw, for ha had obtained a
lodging iu line iil'llielnrgcsl'uue.fiirinh'iuses,
since money vyill obtain anything, and tho
fair, delicate looking, generous Englishman
was popular among the poor Italian peas
ants, Teresa knew that lie was there, but she
avoided him ; and he, s'eelng this, only
watched her from a distance, and gave nn
token that she was more (o him than nny
other laborer on tlm'vnft plains. lie had
seen Tomas and his wife, before lm had
followed td the Cilinpagna, and they were
amply proviileil)f(iijMiirlng their daughter's
absence.
Lionel Merlon hnd fallen in love, nnd 1 0
sat down and took the matter into deliberate
consideration. His lint thought was that
Teren was a ipipen ; fit to be the ivifuof
any man, was his'second ; why not of him
self? was tlie third ; nndthiit sho should be,
if possible, was Iho fnuith. Yet how to pro
ceed was tho difficulty. He felt, witli all
tho keen sensitiveness of an Englishman to
absurd situations, thnt l.e was somewhat
absurdly placed at the present moment; for
Teresa, calmly pursuing her work, gave him
sjio opportunity of aildiessing her without
Imaging the eyesot the inullittiUe upon him
self nud the handsome maiden.
IV.
Teresa was the one lo break the silence,
She feared the pestilential breath that comes
with the chill blasts and heavy dews idler
the heat of the day might take effect on
Lionel Merlon She noted a lassitude and
fevcrishness, which he imputed M nis statu
o( in 1 ml, and suddenly .she appeared beforu
him.
"Signore, you must Ilee from hence, or you
will die 1" ,
"And you will have killed me, Teresa."
"Xo ; it Is the poisonous mists of the
Cainpagna."
'What brought me hither to breathe them?'
asked Lioncl, abruptly,
'""hesigiioro I'm gets that I begged Dim not
to think of bo rash a scheme," replied 'ferc-a,
evading life question, "I'or ine, who am
accustomed to thu changes, it is hul'e; lor

"Whither?"
f'Ilack to Krascali, if he so wills it j or,
better, perhaps, away frunrltnly."

- ''Yet you ieavn.'tbeuL now !"
"Only ll.r their benefit."
''It would benefit them more if you were

' Hut Tercs.v. shook hcr.licad mournfully.
"Sun e jiouible," sho said, decidedly.
v,."Yet yoji lovomc, Terca?"
"Yes;',' ,naid..ahe, with emotion j "but I
unit t do my. duty. 1 havo made a vow not
to marry to long as my parents livo."
"It is u foolish vow," said Lionel.
"Jt is nevertheless a vow," sho replied,
firmly. "Signore, you must go. JiMt'o,
Aildinl"
Hut as sho spoko a sudden shivering seiz
ed her tho luyer that sho had dreaded for
Lionel hud fallen upon lieorlf'.
V
Teresa hail hut few friends among tho la
borers in thu C'limpagna; but one woni.m,
whom Lionel recognized n belonging to tho
1'V.isc.iti, was willing enough to undertake
thoollico ol nurse in consideration of tho
luviih payment for it, nud to accompany her
homo when bho was nut of dancer.
Then Lionel turned hi ktep northward,
scekins no intcrviuw, for ho know that
Teresa was, firm in lu-r resolution, nnd that
It would ho nn insult to her piety and her
soma of filial duty to attempt to shako It.
So lib hastened away, Imping: by constant
change and excitement to drive Kit imago
from b'ht heart.

Hn took tip hi residence nt tho inn ngnln,
hut saw nothing of Teresa; neither did ho
hear ol her until upon making inquiries from
the innkeeper ho found that Immediately
upon her return from IheCnmpagnii her par
cuts had been taken 111 und wcto now in tho
last stages of dieaso and win poorer than

Although ho and tho old Cecchl had been

S ill Teresa hnd n conseiounos ot his

I nuppose. that tho story nbout Kufus
Choato's hand writing lint been told often.
It noems that Mr. Choate, whilo living ori n
farm down in Massachusetts, wanted n new
fenco nroiuid tho homo lot. So lio cnlled lh
his carpenter nnd had n talk witli him in re
gard to tho work, nnd tho next time ho Went
ti Hoston ho got his nrcliKcct to mako a
nugh sketch, showing his ideas of how ho
desired the fenco to bo built. On tlio day
appointed for tho work to begin Mr. Choate
was summoned away. Just ns ho was nbout
to start tho carpenter appeared, and Mr.
Choate pulled tho plan out of his vest pock
et and hurriedly delivered it, nnd then drove
oil' to catch tho train, ltcturnlng after an
absence of tno weeks, on approaching his
l)oino ho was filled witli amazement, nnd led
to doubt whether ho knew whero he lived ;
his homo lot was surrounded by n zigzag
fence of most extraordinary design. When
ho saw tlio old carpenter pnundinsr lustily
away ho felt reassured as to the identity of
tho place, but was most puzzled by the
marvellous' fence.
"Hello 1" lie shouted, "what arc you do
ing ?"
"Doiu'?" said tho old carpenter, smashing
in a ten-penny nail with ono blow, "we're
doin' some pooty tall work. We've just
slung this fenco together in n little hit ics
time than any similar slingln' was ever done
in tho Commonwealth of Massachusetts!
We'ro two days nhead of contract time

"Hut, for Heaven's sake, what kind of a
fence is this?"
"Don't know. Thought when you gi' mo
th" plan it wa lite (kindest fence I ever
heard of, but I supposed you knew vvlml
