St. Peter’s, to hear, in the Canons Chapel,
the music of Palestrina. While listening to
the music, I happened lo glance up to one
of the private galleries on the left, and saw
there a woman’s face, so rapt, so exalted,

and, at every recurrence of that V seductive
vision, I was more madly in love than over.
More than this. Whenever I happened to
find her alone, she was graciousness itself,

I was compelled to rise.
‘ I am not hurt, darling,’ I said. ‘ I was
only stunned for a moment.’ '
‘ Thank God'!’ she c’ried, with a long,
eager look. Then she started back, the
color deluged her face, her hands went up
to hide it and she burst intoiears.
>My arms were around her immediately in
spite of the spectators. ‘ You know me,’ I
cried; ‘ you return my love-Oh l merciful
Father! what happiness.’
She looked up at me limidly.
‘ Yes, I know you,’ she replied softly. ‘ I
have seen you watching by my window
nights. I wanted to warn you against the
’prince, but I never bad a chance. I knew
your life was in danger—’ and here she

The next morning funnd me an early
visilor at the Palazza Goldona,for, as the
reader may suppose, I did not leave Rome
by the midnight train. My mistress met
me all smiles and blushes.
- ‘ In love wilh Prince Borgia,’ she cried
indignadtly, when I had confessed my jeal-
ousy. ‘_ ‘ Marry the prince! I am too
thoroughly an American ever to have mar-
ried any foreigner, much less Prince Borgia.
Forwceks .I have done everything short of
rudeness to get rid of him. His mother be-
fore he came to Rome, was very kind to me,
and I could not for her sake treat him olher-
wise if I would. Ever since that day on
the Campagna, or rather the day after, when
I saw his manner toward you,I have dread-
ed him. I have dreaded some such attempt
as this, for I know his jealous. vindicalive
nature.” ‘ ‘
‘ It was just that anxiety I misinterpreted.’
I cried,‘it made me sure that you loved
him. I thought it was for him you were
anxious."
She laughed ' lightly. ‘ You ought lo
have had a boiler opinion of yourself. I

my side, ‘ I do believe it was I that proposed
after all. Fie on you! ‘ ‘ Faintliearl-never
won fair lady, sir.’ ’
But I drew her again to me, and kissed
her, and she nestled on my bosom, blushing
and happy, and forgiving me. At last she
glanced up shyly.
‘But Ihave a. confession to inake,’ she
said. You won’t be angry f?
‘ Certainly not. How could I ?'
‘ Promise.’ -
‘ I promise.’

bid her face in my bosom again.
‘Notiiiilg can make me change my mind.’
‘Not if I tell you,’ and she spoke in a voice
so low that I could hardly hear her, ‘that I

You have had enquiry for paste that will

experience of Over thirty years almost daily.
I may say hourly use, I have found none so
good as flour paste made with alum water;
say a piece of alum as large as a walnut to
a pint of paste, with a few drops ol oil of
cloves added to the paste when made. The
alum prevents the fermentation, and the oil
is destructive to vegetable mould. Paste
made this way will keep for weeks in the
