Night; In Venice. The day was done, but the merriment only waxed the louder with the coming of the stare. There was glitter of golden banners long the Grand canal and the silent * hurrying of many gondolas, for Venice wm en fete. The trehty with Cyprus had been formally ratified, and tlint day tho republic had formally adopted the slim patrician maid, daughter of Venice, that she might become the mother of kings to be. A great destiny for the shy child of pcarce fourteen years. But as Caterina leaned from her casement, the golden k?i. f.iunn *i? ?-i? i- - ??? ? uoii *a?iui^ uvwu luu tVUll 111 U IUU1UU!) U?bt. her thoughts were not of King James do Luslgnnn nor that storied kingdom of Cyprus oversea, not of them, for maiden thoughts are white wlhged birds that go where they list, but of one slender youth whoso eyes sought hers across the darkness, where be Stood In the shadow of the closed portals of the Moroslnl pnlnzzo across the canal, so near that he could noto the gleam of the scarlet light on the golden head, so far that the sword of q nation's destiny flnsl>ed between them, A king's bride?what chance had he, Andrea Moroslnl, cavalier and poet, and a Moroslnl, the ancient enemy of * her house? ; There had been days when old Cornam's daughter had watched concealed behind her casement draperies to seo blm go forth with the young knights. There had been soft starlit nights when he had watched that selfsame casement and poured forth his soul to the silken sweet tones of his lute. One night when her nurse nodded drowsily the small white hand had dropped a y great languorous white rose Into the prow of his gondola, and after that there had been a moment In the trrent ^.cathedral when ho hnd pressed close and held the little hand for n moment his. That was all, and there could ha more for Cornnro's child, the dJUtffhfeF of Venice, but the lad had dreamed Ids dreams and gone merrily forth to batt|o '.with the Oonneae. it ? ? bad been a month, a long month, when he returned, and all the bells were ringing !h' Ifonor of Caterina. . The twilight died, but the blaze of ftotal beacons flashed from tower to % tower. Over there In the Comoro palaszo there was a perfect carnival of _ music and laughter. Andrea's face grew whiter ill the 'reflected glare, llo could see as the breeze blew aside tho curtains many figures>pnsstng to and fro In that upper room. 1'hey were robing for her sacrifice In tlutf maiden chamber that had been Ills heart's shrine for two long years. No longer a Venetian maiden, the ceremony that would presently tako place before the high altar of Stv Mark's would make her a crowned queen. Well, be would go to the wars Again. There was always the Genoese tfj battle with. He might even win the My iwtflchjer. Was there p'o yrny? He would have glV? his soul for one word with her face to face. Andrea Hung the Jute for out, where It sank Into the dark wa? ters. He would never need It again. Overhead all the bells of Venlco called to one another, and the lap, lap of the tide sobbed beneath as the under note 60 TO THE RESCUE.

The jeweled robe fell close to the round, young limbs, heavy with its weight of pearls. 1 Pearls and rubles .were twined in the golden curls, and the fair, round arms were banded with glowing gems of tlio orient. Across the childish breast, above the folds of cloth of gold, a baldric of emeralds rose nnd fell with every frightened breath, nnd the wild rose color was gone from cheek nnd niilverinir lln Straight ami tall In her young majesty, but over the blnre of the trumpet, the llnsh of the Jewels, deeper than the voice of Venice In loud acclaim, came the low note of a lnte that was stilled forever. There was a strangeness In her throat, a blackness before her eyes. Awed at her silence, the flock of maidens fell a little away from where she stood, and then there came an old woman, bowed a'nd weary, through the velvet portals. When the attendants would have barred the way Cuterlna held out her hand.* As the old woman bowed before her she opened the palms of her brown bauds an instant, so quickly that none saw but Caterlna, who drew a quick breath and turned to the waiting throng with a new nythorlty. "Leave us. I would have speech with the dame alone." Wondering, they left her, and as the door clanged to the old woman slipped the iron bar into place and then stood up, the gray wig thrown off, the woman trappings cast aside, Andrea Morosini. One st>p townrd Caterlna, and he held out his arms. With a low, glad cry she nestled into them, and for one long moment of heaven his lips lay on hers, while below the Grand canal pulsated with the music and triumph of a nneen's hridnl The seconds ticked nwny. There wns no past, no future. Then St. Mark's called to tlio outermost mole, and the sound of feet came along the stone corridor, pausing at the barred door. Caterlna started and paled. Her father, the Cornaro! The steps died away. Then a noise behind them shuttled them. Not ten paces Guido Cornaro leaned on his great sword, and their frightened eves were met with n look so stern that for a time they were speechless. He had entered through a door of which J_'aterlna had no knowledge, uunt by wiiTie Jen tons r ornnro or Jong ago, who had caused this place of espial to he made that he might the better prove his fears. Indeed they might all have been enrven stono, There was no motion in the room but the waving of the arras in the evening breeze that blew through the casement ?the slender youth in his cavalier garb of dark velvet, the stern mailed old patrician and between them, like some tropic flower blown athwart strange gray glooms, Catering In her hrldal robes of cloth of gold, the coronal of rubles blazing above her brow. Andrea bowed low before the ancient foe of the liousc-and, with one last lingering look at Caterlna, awaited the Cornaro's pleasure. He had dared the strictest law of the republic. He knew the penalty. Cornaro hesitated. There were wrath, love and mighty sorrow in his stormy eyes as they went from one young face to the other. A Morosini, the child of his deadliest foe! But he saw through the mist of long, lonely years a little rosy face pressed against a childish breast, a little head that lay'within <l,n n# .. ........ -1 iiiv vu? ?v v? <1 IUIII1U, n IIIU' 111111, mi like, so like, and fJuilin, who hud died, spoke across the night of her unlived motherhood to the heart of her husband. The wrath died. He was powerless. Ho could not brook the might of the republic that claimed his child upon the altar of Its ambition, but lie could save her needless pnln. Already the surge of feet was coming up the lopg passage. The fanfare of trumpets and the voice of Venice, that was many voices, clamored for their princess. Below the glided bargo of the doge awaited her. Nevermore his child, but always the daughter of Yenlce. t There was an instant when the golden head lay against the steel corselet, Another when Ouldo Cornnro saw his child give her lips to the Moroslni, and then he flung wide the. door to the secret passage and n\otloned to Andrea. And so without a word ho passed from her sight and her life, while her father led her down the rose garlanded stairway to the bitterness of the gilded mockery time nwalted. There was n battle next day, n mere skirmish between a Venetian war galley and one of Oenon. At Its close they found him lying where the thick of the light had passed, a smile on his Hps, a crushed white rose nbore his heart. In Venice the people laughed and sang, and there wAs Joy day and night for the week long bridal of Oaterina Cornaro, the daughter of Venice, and King James de Luslgnaq.

They endeavor to avoid it in their streets and buildings and have banished* it compfctely where country field paths are concerned. They will always substitute a curve whenever possible, or the>- will torture it into a zigzag. In districts not subject to the influence of the foreigner the houses and temples are characterized b>- curved, often peaked, roofs, ornamented with fantastic modifications of the "myriad stroke pattern.*" xno inhabitants of such regions are soon found to have a mental world to correspond. The straight line Is scouted. They think in curves nnd zigzags. To the Chinese mind the straight line is suggestive of death and demons. It belongs not to the heaven above or to the earth beneath. In a true horizon line are seen tho "undulations of the dragon." Therefore, argue tho Chinese, the straight lino pertains to hades.?Contemporary Review. Gorki's Offhand Autohloffi-npliy.
