Count Jeppi had a habit of promenading bv the sea shore for an hour or two every day after dinner, while smoking his cigar. Pos- sessor of a great name and a colossal fortune, related to the most ancient families of the Roman patriciate, the count had made a mar- riage of love. He had espoused, five years previously, the daughter of Prince Cinella— superb and placid as a Raphael blonde and stately as a Titian. A cultivated man—ole gant, young, handsome, loving and beloved—— the count could not be other than perfectly happy, and he was. During eight months of the year, from November to June, he dwelt in Florence, the city of palaces and pleasures. At the periods of intense heat he came to Casamicciola and installed himself in aco- quettish, vine clad little villa, hung on the flanks of the mountain, by the side ‘of the sea, between the blue of the water and the blue of the sky—a corner made for reading love stories and for loving. He lived here during the summer, enjoying with his wife the solitude a deux, drinking in long draughts of love, enchanted with the sunlight—a spoiled child of fortune. One suffocating evening toward the last of July, the count, according to his custom, shortly after dinner kissed his wife and went out. Itwas about 8 O’clock. The air was sultry and oppressive; not a breath of wind stirred among the leaves of the fig and orange trees, white with dust. The sea, of an azure opaque and profound, stretched away toward the horizon, smooth as a sea of oil, and the sky, saturated with heat, was of a blue so intense and implacable as to appear stone gray. Along the winding streets, peasants, seated on the doorsteps, were drinking Sicil- ian wine from the wide mouthed, leathern bottles, and groups of beautiful young girls, brown as the Florentine bronzes, flung back and forth, amid peals of laughter, flowers less red than the coral of their lips. Bare- footed urchins, with eyes of jet, were driving the white goats slowly homeward; long after they had passed, the tinkling of the little bells, hung round their necks, could be heard. This charming spectacle, always the same, yet always new, never wearied the count. He reached the foot of the hill and passed rapidly out on to the quay. The night had come, superb, and the stars appeared, one by one, like eyes of gold looking down on the sliinibering island. Suddenly, in a second, iil less time than it takes the lightning to flash, the earth trem- bled as if shaken by the march of invisible armies—armies of giants. The sea, chopping and agitated, hurled its waves together in wild confusion; the heavens veiled them- selves in black;.a sulphurous wind, like a blast from a furnace, breathed devastation, and in the awful darkness, the count, terri- fied, recommending his soul to God in that supreme instant of lucidity which always precedes a dreadful death, was thrown vio- lently forward on his face. The first thing which Count Jeppi saw on regaining consciousness was a star looking down at him, then two, then three, and all the beautiful oortege of the silent sky. He remained motionles a few moments, uncer- tain what had hifppened to him, then he arose and walked a few steps; he was not wounded. What, then, had taken place? What formid- able power had thrown him, unresisting, to the ground? The amorous sea was washing the beach with its silvery waves, the heavens were clearas the eyes of a bride, a gentle breeze was stirring—all was calm! Yet, strange circumstance, he no longer recog- nized the country about him, the horizon seemed to him more even and more level than before. Suddenly, he comprehended all, the fright- ful truth—the earthquake! Like a sword piercing him to the soul, a vision of his wife buried beneath the ruins filled him with mor- tal anguish. He started on the run in the direction of his villa. Was she dead—dying——or living still? She was crushed, perhaps, her lovely body a shapeless mass, caught between two walls. Horror! All! how one suffers in such moments! Would he arrive ill time? The count shOok his list at the sky, great tears rolling down his cheeks. He (lid not even take the troublot.) wipe them away. He hurried on, stumbling at every step among the stones and heaps of timber, treading on dark objects which moved and groaned. The air was rent with terrible cries—cries of ani- mals in torture, sllrill cries of children, agon- ized groans of women, loud at first, then weakening little by little and ceasing in the death rattle. There were despairing calls through the darkness, “Father I" “Mother!” “Son!" and invocations to the divine mercy, “Jenn! Maria Santissinla!” and every stone, -very ruin gave forth agroaii. The count .assed shadows staggering like drunken men, walking on tiptoe with arms stretched out .efore them, or seated motionless like star as of desolation; others, holding on their :nees heavy drooping bodies which no longer esponded to their endearments. Women, . isheveled, danced, with uplifted skirts, mad. One would, verily have believed one’s self ith Dante. The moisture cold on his brow, . frozen ith horror, the wretched J eppi leaped over nrpsos, scaled walls, and the one thought ncessantly beating iii his brain, like the 'cking of a clock, was, “Shall Iarrive in ' u I” At the corner of a street he saw by be light of the moon a woman’s arm thrust at from undera heap of fallen beams, a : ed arm, caught as in a vise. The white . .d, loaded with ring, writhed like a crab. he cries of the sufferer, deadened, stifled der the debris, could not be heard, but . a». Witching fingers called for help, and is hand, thrust out into space, shrieked: 1‘0 the resale!" The point could have rm"- ed her.- He turned away his head and ; .m- on. He had not the time. After reu‘acing his steps more than twenty mes, afta' wandering, about for over an ‘ I‘, . . dwelling. - What's'sl'glit! The charming -. the villa of kisses and flowers, was now . a smoking mass of ruins. One side of the ll alone remained upright, and overhead, itscage of gilded osior, coocdatui‘tledove, w ich the quintes- had cherished. It was a uching sight, this poor, frail little. bird, ty house—this dove of miracle, as if to ve that the God who, in his terrible and .- stations power, razed cities to their foun- tions in an instant, could equally, If it re his will, save the life of a dove. . weak as a child. She was there, under- .th this mass, his adored wife. Where, in . ch direction? Evenif she were dead, he at and her at any cost. Softly, with he‘irrived at last‘ before what had been _ .. Eded between heaven and earth in its, . t the sight of these great stones,,piled., e abovethe other, the count felt himself- inflnlta precautions, with steps of vol clinging to the projections, he vent . among the ruins of his home. He hesitated before setting his foot down anywhere, as if fearful of trampling upon her beloved body. Suddenly he thought he heard—he did hear—a distant voice, but so faint one might have said it was but a breath, a sigh bornb by the wind. He' stopped. It was a subter- ranean voice, a woman’s voice—her voice! He recognized it now. He could not dis- tinguish what she was saying, but it was, in- deed, her caressing voice, calling to him ‘ from the depths of that fearful night, where she believed herself immured forever. “I will save her,” he said, and he set to work. Bruising his knees, laceratlng his hands, the nails torn away, sweating tears, Weeping blood, for over an hour the count toiled at the mass of stones with frenzy. Now, vainly thrusting his bleeding hands into a heap of. rubbish, the powdered plaster slipping through his fingers like running water; again, moving heavy blocks of stone, which fell back, catching his hands in an iron grip. The distant voice guided him continually. It began to grow less distinct, and suddenly it ceased altogether. Then despair helped him to accomplish prod- igies. He lifted blocks of stone, which he threw far from him; he wrested away beams bristling with nails. With blows of his feet, of his shoulders, urged on by a ferocious en- ergy, he rapidly accomplished a giant work, and was ready to fall from fatigue and thirst when there was a sudden giving way in the mass under his feet, which landed him on the edge of an excavation, which yawned be- neath him black and unfathomable. Crouched down over this sinister hole, he reached out his arm and gl'oped cautiously around in the darkness. He encountered something soft and cold. In spite of the horror which seized him, he had the courage to examine with his trembling hands the already icy flesh. He distinguished first an open mouth, closed eyes, a smooth brow, then suddenly his fingers were buried in a waving, silken mass, which he recognized instantly. Her superb tresses! Merely by touching them he recalled their color distinctly. Caressing, ill the darkness, the locks he had so often fondled, lie murmured, softly: “My love—if you are not dead—speak to me.” Only the silence replied to him. “She is dead,” he thought. “I must take her from this too narrow tomb.” Seizing her at hazard by the shoulders, he began to lift her toward him. Three times he raised her, and three times was he forced to let her fall back. She seemed terribly heavy, as if some enormous weight were sus— pended from her feet. At last, gathering up all his strength, he succeeded and dragged forth a something which he did not at first dare to look at, and placed it near him on the stones. But he had scarcely cast his eyes on it when he uttered a piercing cry—a cry of rage and horror. His wife dead, with hair loosely flowing, an ecstatic smile on her lips, held in her arms—a man! Oh! how she strained him to her, with hands tightly clasped behind his back! And he ——lle had thrown one arm around her waist, while his left hand, hanging by his side, grasped a white rose, not yet faded. The count had fallen on his knees. Ina flash, he had measured all the depth of his dishonor. The years of love and happiness, he saw them suddenly illumed in all their startling reality, polluted by lying caresses and deceitful kisses. He approached and leaned over, to view the features of him who had culled the last sigh, the last vow of the perjured wife, but he recalled in disgust. The head of the man, crushed, almost detached from the body, was but a bleeding mass of flesh. Life had guarded their secret, and now death seemed still to favor them, giving up to the dishonored hus- band nothing but an unrecognizable and dis- figured body. He looked again, searching for some trace, some mark which would flash a name out from the darkness—the name cov- eted by his jealousy and his rage! The white hands bore no rings. The body, slender and elegant, appeared to be that of a young man. It was an impene— trable corpse, resolved to guard its secret. The count questioned the motionless lips of his wife, which must have so often let pass the name of the beloved—they remained mute. In a frenzied prayer, broken by blasphemles, he called on God to deliver up to him, on the instant, the abhorred name. God answered not. Only, on the wall overhead, the turtle dove cooed in its gilded cage. Ah! if the bird of love could only speak. Then, after passing his hand across bk brow, the count, moving mechanically, stooped down and placed one knee on his wife’s breast, and, holding her thus, endea- vored to separate her from this man‘s body— this body on which Love and Death had cru- ciiied her. It was along and difficult task. As well try to untwine serpents or to tear away the ivy from the trunk of the ancient oak. At last the rigid arms relaxed on either side, and the outraged husband, putting an end to this odious embrace, repossessed him- self of the body of his wife, which the corpse of the lover had still disputed with him. Then he sat dowu between them, like a. judge, and awaited the day. In the early dawn, with the aid of some peasants, be buried his wife under the shadow of a little fig tree, iii a garden close at hand. The remainder of the day he walked the island, stopping the soldiers, the workmen, every one whom he met, and led them up to the col-1m. He showed every sign of the most profound grief. lie believed, he said, that he had found the body of a dear friend, but he was not abeo- lutely sure, and he offered 20,000 scudi to the person who could tell him with certainty the name of the dead man. In spite of the enor- mous sum, no one could identify the body.’ The count had it interred separately, at his own expense, in a corner of the Casamicciola cemetery. . . __ Since then he searches ceaselemly for this name—which he is condemned never to know -—less jealous of the man who, living. stole from. him his wife's heart, than of the myste- rious corpse which had so insolently duped him. —'I‘ranslated for The Argonaut from the French of- Henri Lavedan by H.

The Ghosts“ ‘rhat Stalk all Moonlight Nights—Spooks as Tall as Pine Trees. How Old Uncle Joe’s Spirit Was Speeded on Its Way. Down south it is interesting to hear the darkies tell about the “spirits" as they sit around the log wood fires, in their old, tumble down cabins in the woods. None can equal in horror their thrilling stories nor make their listeners feel so truly that the “spirits” are really to be seen. An old darky, Aunt Peggy by name, was an enthusiast on the subject. How she en- joyed telling us about one eventful evening, when she was nearly “skeered to death. ” She was going to “prayer nieetin’ ” through the lonely pine woods, and “thinkiu’ right hard 'bout de glide Lawd,” when, what should she see but a “shudder walkin’ right Jar aside her.” She told how she closed her eyes right tight so asnot to see it, but stumbling over an old stump which happened to be in the way, she had to open her eyes, and “dar it war agin, right afore her.” “Lawd a’mussey,” she said, “how she did run, an’ dat ’ere speei'it right arter her," and it came so close that it made her feel cold all over. The good old soul declared the “spirit” did not leave her until she reached the meet- ing house. There no spirits can enter, as “de gude Lawd sees arter dat, an’ they’s skeered of him.” " I ONLY STALK BY MOONLIGHT. She told us that the “spirits” were only to be seen on moonlight nights, and that some- times they looked like long, thin shadows, dressed in gray. They often bend right down over people and peer into their faces, whilst their breath is like a cold north wind. If any one notices them they sigh dolefully, and then suddenly disappear with a wild shriek of mocking laughter. Some of these shadows are as tall as the lofty pines, and as they toss their long arms wildly in the air, the clinging drapery of their shrouds waves in the breeze. This belief might well be accounted for by the long clinging Spanish moss, whilst the wind “soughing” through the pine trees might be compared to the plaintive wail of some lovely “spirit” hailing from the “Land of the Dead.” Another old darkey, by the name of Aunt Sallie, once lived in a log cabin in the woods. She was a queer little old woman and de- lighted iii telling us about the “spirits” and how she could “smell them when the moon shun, though, the Lawd be blessed, she’d never seen ’em.” Some of us dared to suggest that she might possibly have reference to the “spirit” of the “little brown jug,” but the good old soul failed to understand our meaning. Poor Aunt Sallie; she is now at home among the “spirits,” and is far wiser than we are as to their peculiarities. Uncle Joe, another of our darky friends, dwelt in a log cabin on our estate, within a short distance of the houw, and we had an excellent opportunity for observing the ways and customs of the “darkies” in that part of the country. One day while the poor old man Was driving a team of mules he was thrown out of the wagon and dragged some distance. Althou'h he was not badly hurt, et he was much shaken and could do very ittle work after that. W'ith care he might possibly have recov— ered, but his friends seemed to think that it was about time for “de gude Lawd to take. his soul ;" so they came tramping in from far and wide to hasten him on his journey. They certainly did so most effectually, for they gave him every possible thing to eat, from fried alligators to unripe watermelons. Finally the doctor who had been attending Uncle Joe declared him a hopeless case, and after a futile effort to disperse the crowd, he pushed his way out aild left the man to his fate. SPEEDING my on THE WAY. In a short while the cabin was full of dar- kies singing and praying—waiting for Uncle J oe’s soul to take its flight. The greatest confusion prevailed, and amid the din the dying man tried in vain to make himself heard. His‘wifc and daughter were watch- ing every breath he drew, and telling him to “hurry, fo’ de gude Lawd was awaitin’ ” for to take him “cross dat golden ribber." More and more came crowding in from all direc- tions and joined in the monotonous chanting, until at length Uncle Joe breathed his last. His friends were now so excited that they jumped and screamed with joy, clapping their hands and saying: “The gude Lawd hab taken his soul; he am gone to do gude Lawd. L‘awd bless poor Brer’ Joe.” As the shades of evening fell fires were lit all around the cabin to keep the “spirits” away, whilst the darkies sang hymns to cheer Uncle Joe on his way. It was a weird scene, as the darky preacher stood there, solemnly chanting the first line of every hymn, which was then vigorously sung, or rat-her shouted, by the assembled crowd. All around was the darkness of night, save for this one lonely spot illuminated by the flrelight, showing the old log cabin in strong relief against-the dark background-1 of pine trees. Such a‘ bowling and lamentation as those darkies kept up all night long. It was truly pitiful, and only at early dawn did the weird song end and the crowd disperse. At noon they all assembled again at the cabin to follow the coffin containing the re— mains of Uncle Joe, as he was carried to his last resting place. All the way the darkies kept up their low, monotonous chant, until they reached the lonely gravein the midst of the pine woods. Fires were lit at the head of the grave to light the wanderer on his way, and overhead the pine trees sang a solemn requiem for the traveler to that bourne from whose shores none return. . 'As "the darkies returned homeward their funeral chant was changed to a song of joy, and their appearance suggested little of the solemn scene which had just taken place. After Uncle JOe’s death the log cabin was deserted, and is now slowly falling to decay. His "spirit” is supposed to haunt the old home, and at night nothing could persuade a darky to go near the place. As Aunt Sallie told us, if “there war anything she war afeord on,” It would be to see Uncle Jeels spirit. It appears belied not been very geod during his lifetime, or else he- would have. £0119 “straight 0.0410 glide Laud,” but Aunt. ., Sallie very much .vfeared “dot he’d boa long; . timegettin’dar.”. . ; _,_.. ._ Stories were now told about mm lightsto be seenin the, “bin, at nlgbgand how one eveningsdarky rashly venturing; inside the cabin with the intention, of tables} a plank lying, there, suddenly beards, deep gran voice saying. “leave .dst plank right dar.” And it is needless“, remark that he, went without awaiting further orders. > When; Allin Peggy heard about 16.3119» sawm- splritcame anywhere around het‘flw’dlde the tribeot;lmel..on hm”—Marymln meninges 19W Mathew) Your cir- culation is _ M~wMt.lt,Md be. . . , Invalid Editor (absently)—I’ll get out a fresh aflldavit to-morrovv and—(recovering) —b'eg- pardon, doctor, what did you say!— Plttsburg Bulletin.
