"Speak, Peppino," urges again the priest. "The lloly Virgin cannot for give thee, if thou refusest to confess thy sin." "Reverend father," falters the man, i trembling and shivering with cold, but not from the damp and chilly atmos phere of the cathedral, with its granite pillars and marble floors. The shep herd of the Roman Cainpugna is accus tomed to the drenching rains that wet him to the skin as well as the burning rays of the sun. l'cppino has cast off the coarse round cloak in which his shivering form was wrapped. Prostrated before the con- i fessional, lie clutches convulsively the arm of the priest "Reverend father, I—" •'Speak, Peppino; was it thy neigh bor's chattel?" The shepherd shakes his head with proud disdain. To aid him in the difficult, task the | aged priest winds his arm kindly around the sturdy shoulders of the man at his feet. "Speak," he urges again, "was it the knife. Peppino?" Peppino nods his head. "Who was thy victim, ray son?" The shepherd whispers: "Count Lu dovico Purziano." An expression of horror passes over the priest's pale face. "Count Ludo vico Porziano, for whose slayer the Carabinieri have been bunting the mountains for the last three years?" "It is he." Peppino smiles grimly, as he reveals his handsome teeth behind a black mustache. N lie seems proud to have confessed a secret which the arm of the king has vainly sought to ferret j .out. "Count Lmdovico Porziano! A most I pious gentleman! Peppiuo?" exclaimed the priest "A pious gentleman, he? Corpo di Bacco -a very pious gentleman, in deed!" "Is it thus you rue the sin, Peppino?" "Forgive me, reverend father! lie had stolen my sweetheart, and would have fared no better at another's hand!" "lVppino!" "The provocation was great, rev- ! erend father, yet this very (lay on my return to the city 1 saw him again lie before me sweltering in his blood, and I knew nothing that could rid me of the horrible night-mare but a confes sion of the deed!" "My son, sincere repentance will ap pease the inbst gruesome ghosts, and ABKEJ) HEB FOB A IHUNK OP WATER UII humble confession assures you ab solution. Come, tell me how it hup- ' pened!" "Hear me then, reverend father! She was a lovely child, scarcely seventeen years of age. Sweet and tender, an 1 as pure as the Madonna. Signor, hoi eyes were as clear as the light of the moon, and her soul as white as the mountain snows. She had promised to be my wife. Her father was a peasant of the Campagna, who lived ut Formal in. One day, as I drove my goats tc pasture, I saw her standing near the fountain, with her long, block hair twisted into a simple knot, and a red kerchief wound around her white fore head. A bunch of asphodelos blossoms, of which the lasses of the Campagna are so fond, was pinned to her crimson breast-cloth. She smiled at me, rever end father, as I walked by, ah, such a sweet and coy smile! "There came a day, when the count rode by Marianita's bumble hut on his return from the chase. He saw her coming from the well, carrying a jug on her bead. Her sight was pleasing to his blase eye, and, ali htii % from . his horse, he asked her for a drink of | water, . c;hatted_ jyitli kirn. a little Home one bent a card accident ally, and a new pack was called for. Dinny brought in the fresh cards still in their unopened wrapper. Well, the minute 1 laid eyes on the cards a horri ble suspicion seized me—horrible when you consider that we were all friends playing together—and, as opportunity olFered, I carefully examined my cards. A long time before 1 had found it necessary, during a lawsuit, to study thoroughly the systems of marking cards. There are several of these, and when you have mastered them it is an easy matter to spot marked cards any where. So I knew for a dead certainty j that 1 could detect the cheat, if there was one, and somehow, in spite of re < pugnanee to believe it, 1 felt suspicious of the new pack. So I waited a mo ment until 1 got two kings together and compared them. There was no doubt of it. the cards were marked! ".Naturally I was very angry; and my | first impulse was to dash down the cards and denounce the players. When 1 thought of the situation, we two young chaps decoyed in there to be ! cheated out of the little money we had j by young fellows like ourselves, whom ; we met socially and frequently, whom wi had entertained in our own towns— -1 almost boiled over. Such a dastardly bit of business! lam furious yet when 1 think of it. "However, I took a few minutes to think over the matter, and presently a beautiful scheme of vengeance dawned upon me. 1 set out to find out the system on which this partieului pack was marked. Jt was obviously a very simple one, and I knew that the minute 1 got on to it I could toll every card in the pack. The two kings had j each a petal off tli e rose in the left hand corner on the back. As soon as 1 got two queens together I examined them and found that each had two petals off the same rose. Then I was 1 dead on to the system and there prom- ' ised to Vie some fun ahead I knew every card in the pack and the others were of course ignorant of my knowl | edge. "The situation was pregnant. Here was Kolton, who was gently keeping out of it, and to whom, therefore, it was unnecessary to convey any warn- . ng; here were three young rascals de- I "1 I [ "JS 1 P — J;i ! IN PAROXYSMS OF LAUGHTER, liberatcly laying themselves out and setting up a game to fleece two inno- j cent comrades; and here was I, know ing the whole trick beforehand, and I full.v prepared with the biggest sort of j "The point was this: Whenever they i dealt, they knew of course every card in my hand and in the 'missy' and so , did I in their hands and in the 'missy;' : but what they did not know was, that I knew. So when I had the besl hand I went in, and when one of them could beat me I simply staj'ed out. There were always two of them in, of course, one to decoy me; so I stood to win every time. "And when I dealt I took care that j they should see neither my hand nor 1 the 'missy.' Consequently I knew all their cards and they only knew each other's and the game was entirely in my own hands. 1 had a dead sure thing. If you had seen those men look at each other! I was not to be bluffed I out or lured in unless the cards war- ' ranted it and 1 won straight along of course. I had them hard and fast; they were helpless and could not understand it at all. Side-glances of inquiry be came open astonishment and length ened, with their faces, into pure dis may. They were the most sold men I ever saw, yet not daring to stop, and uncertainly fearful of me. Rats in a j trap were enfranchised citizens com pared to them. They could do abso lutely nothing but play on and lose their money. It was their suggestion, you see, their cards and their own set up game It was fun, I tell you. Well, along about midnight, Arnold was strapped, and borrowed of llock ing, and by four in the morning they J were all cleaned out and I had Merrill's I OF for forty dollars. "Next morning 1 woke up liolton early and told him. He was in bed and rolled off in helpless paro.wsn s <.f laughter übout the lloor. lie had seen the whole thing of course far bet ter than I had and he simply rushed back to Barrio to tell the story. I It was a capital story teller and for years afterward my appearance in Burrie was the signal among a certain sdt for pro longed laughter. ' Bolton would not share upand took < only his own money back. Merrill ! came around the next morning and pa 'i up the forty dollars. I left Owen that night and never saw any of the three again." ' Vou don't mean to say you ncvci tod them:* exclaimed the lawyer's daughter. ' Not much! far better joke as it ' was." "Old pood ,rru*on S !" she ejaculated | gastnnjfly. "TliinU ofheeph,, j.'"

I declare, it is quite as becoming as it was last year." "Thanks. Eustace likes to see me in purple—it just suits me, lie says." "How odd: Ho tells mo that lie hates it—says it is such a showy, vulgar color." "Why, there poos Eustace now, with that horrid Miss Rooks! I suppose she snapped him up on his way to my house." "Yes— or mine. Shocking-, the way some girls try to attract a man." "Isn't it? She might know that Eustace does not care for her money." "Yes; I could tell her a thing or two."
