II. Date Undecided. They were not adventurers of the fulgar type that Is, adventurers In the lense of holding a different social pn.sl :lm from that which they assumed. They were gentlemen of Rood family; jut fortune hunters to whom the In some was of more account than the woman, and who made pretense of a ove they did not feel. For Gi-rald's lomewhat brutal attitude of command aus love-making in his way a way malogous to that of the savage who irst knocks his Intended wife senseless ind then carries her off to his own hut n the bush his conquest, lover, wife ind victim all In one. She had her choice then between the two. In Gerald she would llnd a spirit f domination that would crush her to :he earth a materialistic, unpoetlc Ind of nature that would leave her loul as arid as the parched sands of the Libyan desert a tyrant, a master, a :onqueror. In Glullo di Siena she would have Infidelity, Intrigue, Jeal usy, and what to an English woman, lecustomed to much open-air exercise ind absolute freedom of movement, would be practically Incarceration. In the princess she would have a toother-ln-law who would rule her with t rod of Iron, and never take hep to her leart as a daughter who would perse sute her to become a Catholic; who would ridicule her English ways and leery her nationality; who would make ip for her husband's neglect by a system f espionage whch would not leave her ne shred of spontaneous freedom, and who in all of whose persecutions here, ind glacial barriers there, would be lolned by her married daughter, La Contessa Maria del Sole (who would re peat and exaggerate all that her moth er might say or do). Of the two the balance of unhapplness would be on the llde of the Italian, but neither man rvduld treat her well, and in a mar riage with each alike would be her mis try. The two aspirants had nearly come to 1 that duel, with the buttons off, which seemed as If It must eventually take place, over the fifth seat in the iarrlage, which meant who should sit outside with the coachman. The fric tion had been no great, and the courtesy Slsgulse so thin, that the princess had halt-laughingly proposed drawing lols for the chance. But, perhaps becauwe he had proposed It, perhaps because he disdained to put himself in any lense on an equality with the desplBed Italian, Gerald had rejected this ar rangement. With as much haughti ness aa sullenness he had flung up the contest by mounting the box, whence he revenged himself by turning round and engrossing, so far as he could, Ida'B whole attention by his persistent talk He spoke to no one else. If the prin cess or the baron cut Into the conversa tion, he Ignored each as If neither party ixisted; uve when obliged to answer a question directly addressed to him, and then he answered In monosyllable, and his voice was more like a bear's growl than ever before. If It were the baron who spoke to him, on any subject Inde pendent of the matter In hand, he con tented himself with a reply that effect ually put a stop to all such advances, for this time, at least. He was more unpleasant than could have been be lieved, as the princess said In her pretty broken English, and, so far as he could, he spoiled the day's pleasure for all concerned, anxious aa he was to punish all and sundry for the Inflation of that undeslred association. For this, too, as for some other things, the baron owed him, more than one; and In his own mind resolved to pay his debt with In- 3F llo Spoko to No One rise. terest. The only difficulty was: How could he pay that debt? The English man was stronger than he, and braver. And stabbing him In the back, In the dark, was not apparently very feasible. The way from the Hen loss led down to the valley by a road cut In the side of the mountain. A mass of rock and unscalable escarpments rose sheer from the path above a precipice with eterni ty at the bottom fell sharply down be low. The road waB full of these acute angles and hazardous curves so well known to continental travelers angles and curves which were veritable death traps and where the marvel was that anyone should esceape with his life. Two half-broken, loosely-hnrnessed horses, mainly guided by the voice of a Children Shrink from taking medicine. They don't like its taste. But they are eager to take what they like Scott's Emulsion, for instance. Children almost always like Scott's Emulsion. And it docs them good. Scott's Emulsion is the easiest, most palatable form of Cod-liver Oil, with the Hypophosphites of Lime and Soda added to nourish the bones and tone up the ner vous system.

Yet tragic occurrences was as rare as the passing of a herd of chamois or a fight between an eagle and a vulture in the sky. Kalns had washed away some of the edges, both of the cliffs above whereby the road was strewn with stones that rolled as the horses stepped on them, and of the outer line against. the sharp decline below. Still, they had gone tip In safety In the morning and they supposed they should come down in safety In the afternoon. The horses, If loosely handled and not broken ac cording to our ldeus, were familiar with the road, and the .achman, for all his outlandish methods of driving, knew his work. Something startled them. The horses, used to the road as they were, sure footed and as a rule trustworthy In their own wild way, suddenly broke loose and took matters In their own keeping. Disdaining bit and bridle they tore down the steep Incline, the shouts of the terrified driver madden ing them still more, and the bund of Gerald Froblsher on the rein of no avail. They had taken the bit between their teeth, and their teeth were strong. The danger was imminent. They were close to the worst bit of the road, where the most careful driver, doing all he knew, could never be quite sure of safe steering. Now as things were destruc tion seemed Inevitable, The princess shrieked and flung her arms abroad, calling on the saints and adding to the horror of the moment by her ungovernable terror. The young baron was In a state of collopse. Al most fainting, speechless, motionless, his eyes closed, his form drooping, he lay as If half dead. Ida Bat perfectly still, her eyes wide open as If she were watching how things would go; and Mrs. Brand, looking Into vacancy, moved her Hps In silent prayer. The carriage swayed from side to side and one wheel hung over the abyss, when Oerald leaped from the box and at the risk of his life somehow manugeti to secure the bridle, of the off horse, and bk sheer force of strength stopped ;hlm In the plunge and flung him back on his haunches. Ills grasp missed would have Bent them all to the bottom of the abyss together. Ab It was they were safe, through his gallant action gal lantly performed; and however unpleas ant his temper might have been he had undoubtedly saved them all from de struction. But the contempt with which lie grasped the baron by the shoulder and shook him as a terrier shakes a rat! the driver meanwhile having got to the head of his horses, with whom he was reasoning and arguing, pointing out the error of their ways and the folly as well aB wickedness of which they had been guilty; the superb tone of disdainful superiority with which he said: "Come, bnron, pull yourself to gether like a man! Your precious life Is In no danger no thanks to you for yourself or the others. You were not too frightened, I can see," he added, turning to Ida nr. J speaking with more genuine ndmlratlirfi than he had ever yet shown to her. "You are English and know how to face danger with courage!" , "It Is' well to be without nerves," Bobbed itio princess. "We southeners have suBceptlbllitleB which you cold northeners want." "Thy are Inconwllent things at times," said Gerald, significantly. Hut now the buron had recovered and could take part In things aa they were. "I can face a bullet," he said, quite as significantly. "Where my mother and la signorlna are concerned I con fess I lose my head. Had I been alone you would have seen a different man." "PoSBlbry." said Gerald, with a sneer. "Meanwhile the man we have seen has not contributed much to the safety of the ladles for whom he professes so much regard. We can Judge of the un seen only by the seen." "We will speak of thlB again," said the bnron, with meaning lightly touch ing his own breast. "At your pleasure," said Gerald, measuring him from head to foot with eyes thut spoke more than lips could have done. It was us if they had said: Reluctant to meet you? 1, the crack shot of the African wilds and the In dian Jungles, of raid to fuce a nerveless coward like you?" ' All that evening the Englishman waited for the challenge which never came. AVhen dinner was over he strolled about the hotel gardens and made love to Ida In his domineering, trenchant way. Hut the baron and his mother did not nppear. They had been at the table d' hole dinner where Ger ald had almost insulted the young man where Ida had been now cool and now Borry as her mind dwelt now on her young lover's cowardice and now on his charms. Hut after dinner they He Stopped Them In The Plungo. had vanished Into apace, and no mes sage came to any of the group. Ida was restless and of uncertain mood. She sometimes laughed almost hyster ically and sometimes was near to tears. The brutal Btraln In Gerald's character had never rasped her aa It rasped her to-night, and In her heart Bhe hated him as If he had been a murderer. When Bhe Baw that for Bure the Ital ians would not come back this evening, Bhe too slipped away with an aching heart and a temper nearly as bad as Gerald's. . "The one a brute and the other a coward," she said to herself; "and the coward the best of the two!" The next morning mother and Bon had gone and a sweetly-worded note to Ida from the princess told the reason of this sudden flight. They went, it Bald, because they saw how things were between her, la signorlna and Mr. Fro blsher. IIo was her lover and she loved him. The baron's heart was braken; he loved the signorlna to distraction ; but he was too delicate to interfere in a thing already arranged and his only duty was flight. Might all the saints bless ithe sweet English girl whom they, her Italian friends, would never forget. - ' . - When he heard of this sudden flight Gerald laughed aloud. "That cur! that coward!" he said, con temptuously. "He has shown his true colors at last, and we are well rid of him, Now, Ida, we can be happy, and you will be my wife before the year is out." On which strength came to the girl through her very terror. "Your wife," Bhe said, her large eyes wide open and full of horror. "I would rather die first! If I cannot marry the baron I will marry no one else, and certainly not you who treated him so 111:" So there It was. The fortune-hunt ers were balked of their bag, and the young heiress escaped the Scylla of brutality and the Charybdis of decep tion; she went home a sadder If not a wiser woman, free to bestow herself and her fortune on whom she would as, when the right man came along, she would certainly do.
