CHAPTER I.
The diligence which ran between Aquilla
and Bieti in Italy in the year 1834, used to
start them a small and unpretentious inn 'of
the former town. - A little guests’s room,
black with smoke, contained a'number of
characters, wrapped in Carbonari mantles
and their heads covered with pointed hats.
They smoked their cigarettes, and held their
- conversation in a low tone of voice. The
only other people who Woulh' attract atten-
tion were a couple of young ladies Of about
twenty-two and twenty-eight years of age,
of handsome appearance and pleasant man-
ners, who sat at the table in the middle of
the room, and tasted but lightly of the tough
meat and sour wine that had been set be-
fore them. An old gentleman carefully at-
tired in black sat opposite to them, and
seemed to he a confidential sort of servant.
net of passing the uninviting dishes and the
attention he paid to his‘lady companions.
The driver of the diligence was a young
man eighteen, of dark eyes and black locks,
who entertained himself in conversation
with the host, and drinking his sour wine,
glass after glass. He seemed to to have for-
gotten all about the journey.
“Giovanni,” said the elder of the two
indicate the male companion, “won’t you
please remind the postilion that we want to
reaehvBietl before sundown i”
' Giovanni obeyed the order silently, and
the young postilion tore'himself away, after
preparations of the trip.
“They have queer arrangemenls in this
country,” said the older to the younger lady
in German. “The passengers are altogether
in the hands of the postilfons, and these;
them. I like our German cousins best.”
“They might be improved too, my lady,”
was the younger woman’s answer. “A Ger-
when it is well greased."
“They seem to need quite as mush oil in
Italy. Our journey has cost me no mean
sum already.”
“But see what you get for it, countess—the
, loveliest scenery in the world.”
“I only wish that I was back among the
scenes which our country people give us,
Admilla.”
Admilla only shrugged hershoulders and
turned up her nose the least little bit in the
world. ' . .
“Bah 1” continued the countess, “what d
I care for the romantic)! I enjoy the sub-
stantial and the practical.”
“Is that the reason why my lady decided
to leave her lovely estate and give her
Germany 1" -
“That has nothing to do with it,” answered
the countess rather shortly. “Hand me my.
shawl. Don’t you see it’s going to be brush
ed off I”
The host, who was busying' himself up
and down the room, now stopped before the
countess and asked :
Bieti today i" ' _ -
» “What have you to do with that i" an-
swered the countess, with a short accent in
her Italian' first made. it Sound doubly
hoarse. V '
“My question was not without a purpose,”
answered the host; “I wished to warn your
ladyship. The journey is, not a safe one—
the bauditti are worse than ever.” .
“And what is your advice i What shall
I do i” '
“ Let the young men go on alone, pass
the night in my house, where you shall
have the bestI can give, and then renew your
trip early in the morning,” the host whisper-
-cd, while he pretended to busy himself with
his glasses, and then passed on.
“What fools we would he," 'said the count-
ess to her companiOn, shrugging her shoul-
ders, “if we 'should listen to-this fellow. To
wait till tomorrow morning would give
him just time to set half a dozen brigands on
our track. No. we must go straight ahead.
It’s our only course.” ‘
“I think so, too, my lady," said- the old
servant. “You can't believe one word these
inn-keepers say. The surest way is to go
precisely opposite to their advice.”
Admilla threw .her shawl around the
countess, and they-allstepped into the dilli-
gence. ‘ The postilion cracked his whip and
they were soon on the road to Bieii.
n.
The travelers had some reason to com;
plain of their progress. The young postilion
'was constantly whipping his horses, but it
was hard traveling. Mount Corno reared
itself like a great giant even among the
mountains of the Neapolitan Appenin'es. But
the rich foliage and varied scenery ought to
have ofi‘ered some consolation for the other-
wise tedious trip. The silvery waters of the
Aterno were flowing below them, with
forests of olive trees overlooking it. There
was a constant change of colors and forms
wherever the eve turned, and over it all
there was the purest and and clearest
heaven, whose sunny blue was undisturbed
by the smallest cloud. The top of the-dill-
gence 'was. thrown back, and they were
making their way slowly over the roads. the
postilion humming one of the populhr Nea-
politan songs of the day, when the countess
said to him : ~ '
“You appear to be right contented, my
young ii'iend, in spite of the hardships of
your service.”
“Guiseppo is always jolly, signora l” he
answered, as he applied his, whip with new
vigor. ' ,
“Stillsyour happiness seems to me to be a
sour wine for most ‘of-it,I think. Is the host
Katrine a friend of yours 1"” ' .
At least this was the inference from his man- ,
little artificial. You may thank Kutrino's -
“About half and half, signora. He keeps
a very good quality of Posilippo.”
“That is a good ground for friendship, at
all events. I suppose the bandits of Abruzzi
are also on friendly terms with Signor
Kutrino f"
“Oh, no I” answered the boy,“the brigands
do not patronize him. They don’t like him,
nor he them. Ever since they robbed him
of his young wife. his pretty rose, sweet
Marietta,he has been down on them. He
has sworn to bring them all to theg’allows."
“Is Kutrino really an enemy to‘ the ban-
dils i" asked the young woman, her cheek
taming pale at the thought of not following
his advice. . .
“He is no mend, at all events, and tries to
hurt them whenever he can."
The countess had no longer any zest for
the beautiful scenery around her. She lay
back on her cushions and shut her eyes, not
a word coming ii'om her lips. The diligence
had, reached the height of the mountain.
The male end female companions burst
forth in admiration at the brilliant pano-
rama that unfolded itself to their view, but
it was all lost on the ”countess.
The diligence. had begun to roll along
quickly down the bill, when a shot fell upon
the ears'that resounded through the woods
like thunder. ' 'Guiseppo whipped his horses
and urged them at break-neck speed down;
the side of the mountain. ‘
The next that was heard was aloud out-.
cry. One of the horses had fallen and the
wagon had been turned over‘. The other
horse, wild with fright, began to drag his
mate, the diligence and the people along.
Then there came a half-shrieking, half-
whistliug noise lothe ears ' of the unhappy,
travelers, all of . whom were extricating,
themselves with more or less pain and dim-'-
culty. The wagon was shattered in pieces:
‘Guiseppo did his utmost to place the fallen;
horse upon his feet. Giovanni was endeav-=
oring to .stop the blood of a head wound, and j
Admilla was weeping and trembling. The;
countess stood listlessly on the roadside,§

his head sadly as he said :
“Poor Brunoxi He has broken his leg. I ‘
will have to leave him here." .
Then came the shrill whistle again, and'
they all looked anxious and horrified at the ‘
sound, guessing its meaning. In another:
instant a dozen men, with sun-burnéd andE
mil-bearded faces, and clothed in the meat:
picturesque bandit costume, sprang out in:
the road and. surrounded the n-ightened
travelers.
A great, tall brigand, with ' a red sash
about his body stepped up to the countess ;
with a bow that would not have disgraced
a drawingLroom. His features discovered
something of good nature through their Wild-
nessl of expression, and he said, in a mild
and souorons voice _ '
“Believe me, madam, I prize the‘accident
which afforded me an opportunity or mak-
ing the acquaintance of so renowned an
artists.” -
The lady shrugged her shoulders and
opened her mouth as if to express the con-
tempt she felt ; but seeing five or six rifles
pointed at the party, she concluded it best
to restrain herself.
"Signora will not be surprised,” continued
the bandit, in his politest manner, “if we im-

“It must be admitted that we do such

“We do him no harm either. But there

The countess glanced hastily about her,
Sh'e found Guiseppo mourning over his
poor horsb, and Giovanni and Admilla,
'to her for salvation.
“In brief, then, ~Mr. Robber Captain,"
said she at last, “ho' high a ransom do you

help us put the wagon together, get us a.

“ Signoria is evidently of the opinion that
a great deal must be demanded in order to
obtain anything. But you have made a
great mistake, signers. We want no
money from you.” ,
“Great Heavensi what do you want,
then i” cried the countess, now frightened
in good earnest. \3 _ .
“I ought to have told y‘b‘n that we always
make an exception in the case of great ar-
tists. We never demand ransom from such
people, but only ask the privilege of 'enjoy-
ing their art.”
“I understand,” laughed the countess,
glancing more hopeful at her companion,
“we have the happiness to be known to you.’
“My name is Giganto Titani," .ansWered
the bandit, bowing. “I command a com-
pany of sixty brave men. They lie in wait
at the foot of the hill. One whistle, {and
they are all on the spot. We all know you,
signora. Not one ofnswho has not heard
of Marie Taglioni, and felt a desire to see

lOnger a dOubt that the? highly honored '
Countess de-Vaisins, who was imprudent to
go out alone to meet her husband, is no
other than the famous Marie Taglioni.”
“You desire, then, that I shall dance for
you."
“Yes, signora, there is no choice left to
you." .
“And if I should refuse to dance befoi.~
robbers and murderers.”
“Then I would not undertake, with all
respect for your talent, your name and
your person to protect you a moment lon-
ger." .
“Without music, under the open sky, and
without”—looking downward—“but you
should understand that it is impossible, sin”:

then down a few steps, when aloud buzzing b
noise fell upon their ears. Now :it became
brighter and brighter until the immense

before her in all its brilliancy. '

steps. A few moments after, she was on road

The countess still hesitated. She had a'
cold refusal on her tongue and-her left band:
played mechanically with a gold chain
which she were about her neck. No one
know that a small but sharp-pointed dagger
was at the end of it. But then her eyes fell
upon Admilla, who had read the thoughts
of the countess in her features. The poor
girl was about to fall at her feet,. and cried
out in German:
“Oh save us, dear countess! Do what
.ihey ask ofyou, for God’s sake." , .
‘It was wonderihl to see how soon the
wagon was made ready to proceed. A new
horse was furnished, and one of the band
took his place at the postillion’s side;
Another stepped into the diligence and sat
down by GiovalIni. Then the vehicle was
driven rapidly down the descending road. -
The village was reached in a couple 'of
hours. Marie's eye fell upon a few miscr-f
able shanties. So beautiful as was" the
surrounding scenery, the inhabitants did not
