" Enough. I shall not want you again to-nip'>t.

Mr Prouting, with his hand upon the door, murmured his customary " Very good, my lord."

"And look here, Prouting—if I had reason to suppose that you ever talked amongst the servant and courtiers down yonder about anything you hear or—see -in my rooms," said Lord Brackenbury, with a hesitating glance at the diamonds, " I would dismiss you from my service at a minute's notice."

Mr Prouting stared at tho three precious piles with all his might, and coughed signi ficantly. " Mv discretion, my lord, has never been called in question," He replied with an air of injured dignity. " .-o much the better. You can go."

Mr Prouting made as if ho was about to speak ; lingered for a moment; then reluc tantly withdrew. Again Lord Brackenbury turned the key upon his faithful valet, again that faith ful vtilet ostentatiously opened and shut tho dining-room and ante-room doors, came noiselessly back, and applied his eye to the keyhole as before. Bnt the main action of the dram a was over, and what now followed was scarcely worth the trouble of observing. Ho saw Lord Brackenbnry dispose oi the rest of the diamonds in some eight or ten . little packets ; seal each packet with his signet ; stow the whole away in the pockets of his travelling-belt ; then fetch his despatch box, and settle down, apraiently to a night of hard writing. For more than balf-an hour, Mr Proutins watched the travelling of his pen. At first he seemed to be copy ing the contents of certain papers which he setup, one by one, against the pedestal oi the nearct lamp. He then took out a packet of letters—road seme, dipped into others, and set to work, apparently, to answer them. Except that he paused now and then to refer back, or to loan his cheek upon his baud aud think ho wrote on incessantly. At laot even Mr Proutins'" curiosity tired. Cramped and almost crippled, he straightened himself with dilhculty, and crept away to bed.

CHAPTER IV.

A FESTA-DAYON THE RIVIEKAj

Lobd Brackkkiiury", although he had spoken of beginning his southward journey on the morrow, did not start, after all, till the morning of tho second day following hi* great purchase. In the meanwhile, he in spected the "caleche," made terms with the driver, aud was out (probably on the water) during the greater part of the intervening day. He came back to his hotel, at all events, late and tired, on the Monday even ing, and went to bed early, giving orders for the carriage to be at the door by nine. By nine, therefore, Alessandro Cicpi licensed vetturino No. 47, native and citizen of Genoa, commonly known as "Sandro Quaranta-Sette," brought his "caleche" round with a mighty clatter, and drew up at the door ot the Hotel Feder. There was not, at the time of which I am writing, a more popular " vetturino " on the road than Sandro Quaranta-Sctte, or a vehicle more steadily in request than the " leathern conveniency " which now awaited my Lord Brackenbury's pleasure. Koomy but not unwieldy, provided with uumbcrlesi straps, pockets, nnd hiding-places, hung light and high, lived with spotless dimity, and yellow outside as an orange, this irre proachable family conveyance was generally to be seen at the he.eh of a p»ir of sturdy greys driven by Sandro himself. Lord israckeubury, however, proferred posting ; so the yellow " calfcche " appeared on thi present occasion behind four gaunt roadsters and two shabby postillions ; while Sandro, with a rose behind his ear and a cigarette in his mouth sat in idle dignity upon the

The usual knot of street urcliius, porters, and miscellaneous idlers gathered at once

about the carriage-door ; a couple of porters in white jackets came hurrying out with sundry portmanteaux and hat-boxes; Mr Prouting appeared on the stups with his master's dressing-case and railway-rug ; and a lively cross-lire of " chaff "in the purest Genoese patoh was immediately opened between the bystanderc on the pavement and the porters who were strapping the luggage to the roof. As Mr Prouting descended the steps with his wonted dignity, half a dozen brown hands were thrust forward to open the carriage door aud relieve him of his burden. The owners of the hands took him for " mi-lord," and he accepted the compliment as his due. The sama tribute had been paid many a time before to the glitter of his gold chain and the magnitude of his whiskers ; and it in a manner consoled Mr Prouting for the despotism of circumstances and the irony of fate. Lord Brackeubury came out a minute or two later, followed by ilie bowing landlord and the obsequious head-waiter ; whereupon Mr Prouting had in Ms turn to hold the door, aud tonch his hat, and finally to scramble into the rumble, which feat he performed amid a circle of grinning faces and a showrr of unintelligible banter. And now, with an ostcutntious cracking of whips aud a tremenHous show ot rattling off at a gallaut. pace, the yellow " calcche " rumbled away from the door of the Hotel Feder. But it is not easy to go far at a gallant pace in the picturesque city of Genoa j and the little crowd was scarcely left out of sight before the postil lions turned their horses' heads to wards a labyrinth of steep and narrow streets up which, it was only possible to drag the carriage at a walk—streets such as the traveller sees nowheie save in Italy in old towns by the sea ; streets whec the houses seem to have jjrown out of tho rocks, and to beapart of thorn, and the ruggedbasement stones are green with slime, and the old wrought-lron balconies are eaten through with rust, and the causeway under foot, worn by the traffic of centuries, furrowed like the restless waters of the bay ; streets

where the sky overhead is a strip of burning

blue seen between mouldering cornices and jutting cares where the swallows build, and the wandering thistle-down strikes root, and the sea-gull seeks refuge when

storms sweep up from the sea.

It would seem at first sight as easy to sail a ship up one.of the old Genoese side-etreete as to get any four-wheeled and four horsed vehicle over such pavement, and up such steep inclines ; but they are more crowded as a rule, than the broader and easier thoroughfares; and the yellow "cale'chie", lumbering laboriously uphill through a succession of by-streets barely

wide enough for two "carrettc" abreasi

encountered a downward »tream of foot-passenaers, hand-trucks, market-cart, and hired vehicles of every dexeiiption. .For it was high holiday in Genoa—the

" festa" of some popular saint, in whose honour the picturesque old city was all astir this bright changeable morning. A busy, noisy, joyous day ! In the air, clash and clang of bells ; in the harbour, a flutter of many-coloured flags ; on all the church-doors flaunting draperies of crimson and yellow ; in the streets, crowds of women in white veils, priests, mendicant-friars, weather beaten sailors with rings in their ears, and fishermen with cay sashes wound about their waists, and red capson their heads ; in every dark sbopwindow and under every gloomy basement arch, piles of gaudy stuffs, and pyramids of green and brown pottery ; be fore every little street-sorner Madonna, a flickering oil lamp and a handful of flowers in a cheap vase ; and in every open space, stalls for the sale of fruit, flowers, vege tables, rosaries, waxtapcrs, toys, trinkets, ballads, fried fish, roasted chestnuts, and the like. It was real Genoa weather, too ; wild and variable, bursts of brilliant sun shine alternating with sudden gusts of rain —each rain-storm converting the streets into moving "parterres" of huge overblown um brellas, red blue, green, and parti-coloured, while the pavement under foot became a net work of miniature water-courses rushing tur '"'ifi'ntly downwards to the lcvol of the quays." Upon Lord Brackcnbury, buried moodily in a corner of the "calcche, "upon Mr Prout ing scowling at Foitune from the rumble, those picturesque sights and sounds were thrown away. Wot so, however, upon Sandro Quaranta-Sette, who saw crery thing, enjoyed everything, pulled off his hat to the priest, flung a copper to the blind cripple at the crossing, and had a nod and a laugh for everyone that passed—for his fellow " vetturiui" us well as for their cariiage-loads of buxom peasant women and uproarious children ; for the "al fresco " cooks selling polenta and roast chestnuts ; for the pedlar with his tray of knives, scissors, combs, and pocket-minors ; for the vendors of rosaries and missal markers, who made counters of the cburch steps for the display of their pious wares ; for the copper-smith hammering away under the archway, and the .basket-maker weaving rushes at his shop door, and the cobbler mending shoes in his stall ; for the gaping peasant with a green bough in his hat; for the shabby Custom-house officials at the city gate; and even for the sentries in their gentry-boxes at the head of the diawbridge, where the carriage passed tho live of fortifi cations.and theroad, still trending upwards, led out in the direction of the sea.

And now, for some miles of the way, they continued to meet a stream of holiday makers bound from Genoa. Sometimes it was a party,of Capuchin friars striding man fully along, with their brown skirts tucked up through theirknottedgiidles; or a detach ment of bare-headed Seminarists in black

gowns, under the cscoit ot a couple M ?*A ltvZ % a wild-looking •' ContaSino >< clad, like Robinson Crusoe, in jacket ritifl breeches of undressed goat-skin ; or m O r» often (still, a creaking "carretta" f u li „« laughing nirls, drawn by a rough little na» with a wonderful headgear, all brass orna ments, fringes, and scarlet tassels. p ur ih^ still, as the dittince became greater and th <iay wore on, this tide of wayfarers gradu ally ceased. Meanwhile, from every fisnin village nestled hundreds of feet below on the brink of the blue sea, there rose a faint echo of church-bells ; and in one little hamlet where the wayside church was all too i mall for the numbers who had come to worship within it» walls, there knelt outside in the dust of tne road and the glare of aoon a silent crowd to whom the words of the priest were inaudible, but for whom there was prayer and thanksgiving enough in the chanting of the acolytes and the link, line of tho bell. Shortly after midday, baring changed horses twice since leaving Genoa, Sandro Quaranta-Settc put up for an hour at a quaiut little town fantastically built, xo O f below roof, in a ravine opening down «> steeply to the beach, that it looked as if a cataract of houses had tumbled over the cliff two or three hundred years ago, and taken root among the ledges of the rocks. Adizzy road, carved out in zigzags, led downtothrs little town ; and there were clusters of fan palms on the heights above and rows of black fishing-boats drawn up on the Bands below ; and on the verge ot a jutting p ro . montory some mile or two farther along the shore, a wide-fronted, many windowed convent surrounded by cypresses. Here, too, it was all "Festa" to-day— streets and market-place crowded with idlers • men playing at morra, women gossiping' bells ringing, church doors standing open, and a lingering perfume of jnceuße in the air. There was but one inn in the place—a rambling old bouse with kitchen and stabling on the ground floor, and a big dirty dining-room upstairs, full of country folk eating, drinking, smoking, and making merry. Here Mr Prouting, not without sundry paintul misgivings as to the inferior, ity of his surroundings, sacdownwithSandro Quaranta-Settc to a iiort of rustic " table d' hOte" dinner, while Lord Brackenbury strolled into the church to see a certain miracle-working picture of the Madonna, which was the glory and pride of the place. ; It had been washed ashore one night during o great storm about eight years ago, said the old sacristan, who was trimming the lamps for the Vesper service ; "since when, with tke blessing of Our Lady and all the Saints, it had wrought many fampus cures." Lord Brackenbury looked, listened and gravely smiled. • Like the generality of miracle-working pictures, it was a miserable daub. , "Does it cure all diseases alike,or is it good for only certain aliments The' asked. ~,.,, The sacristan shook his head. "Altro, altro," he said doubtfully ; onr people come hither to pray for relief from ophthalmia and rheumatism." " And they obtain it V " Undoubtedly, Signor—undoubtedly.?. The Madonna squinted, and her nose was sadly out of drawing. Lord Brackenbnry, thought to himself that so benevolent a Madonna might as well have been better looking. Perhaps his face betrayed big thoughts ; for the old man drawing a faded curtain over the picture said somewhat '< sharply :— ;j e , " It is very old ; no one knows how old —and it has the beauty of holiness." . , To this incontrovertible assertion, Lord Brackenbury made the only answer open to' an Englishman and a sceptic. Hetookpnt his purse, gate tbesacristanapiece of money,' and with a pleasant " Buon giorno " walked out again into the sunshine. The old man looked at the coin, looked: after the giver, looked at the coin again, and, with a chuckle of sclf-gratulation, pocketed the same. .. i. • 11 Per Bacco 1 he muttered, lapsing into temporary Paganism. " A scudo—a whole scudo ! And I took him for a heretic 1" From the Church, Lord Brackenbury went down aaain to the beach, were the empty fishing-boats were drawn up in a long straggling row, battered, water-worn,; ciisting pure violet shadows on the white sands, with here and there an orange-tawny sailor a much-mended net spread over the oars to dry. Here, among coils of rope, and empty fish-baskets, and rusty anchors,, and piles of shells and driftwood and withered seaweed, and the picturesque litter proper to a Mediterranean fishing-village, ■ Lord Brackenbury eat him down upon a little creaking capstan and watched the, slow wash of the sea as it broke in creamy; curves against the shore. . i. j Two children, a boy and a eprl, came to him presently and asked, half shyly, hattj boldly, for "one little soldo." ,m " A soldo ! What would you do with:, The boy hung back : the little girl hid', her face against her brother's shoulder. A... bronzed, bare-footed, amphibious little pair, to whom the Bands, and ihe rocks, and the' shells, and the sea-weeds were as green, slopes.and wild flowers to the children of in land hills and valleys. & Lord Brackenbury beckoned them to come closer. " . ':■ ---"What would you do with it? he re : | peated, . :•■■:£ Still they were silent, but seeing his •, fingers stray in the direction of his waist coat-pocket, they ventured a foot or two - Lord Brackenbury took out two little silver half-lire of Genoese currency, value . about f ourppnee each—a coin long since gone, the wayof the Roman " Paul" and the Noa^i politan " Carlino." ~„ .;>' " I will buy oranges 1" said the boy, his eves sparkling, his hand outstretched. ~ " " And this little maiden 1' The boy gave her a push, and Lord Brao kenbury, still withholding the coins, drew; her gently to his side. ■ > " What is your name f' he asked. , : The boy answered for her :— "Felicita." " And yours ?" " Giovanni."

"■JScco,1 Felicita. Giovanni has an swered— therefore I give him not a soldo, but a mezzo-lira. The otheris yours when you tell me how you will spend it." •;::*') The boy's fingers closed eagerly on the] s coveted coin. Then, like a young savage,, he sprang back, fearing lest the giver c should repent him of his gift. Felicita, left with the terrible stranger, looked uncertain whether to howl or run away. n ;s; "What! quite dumb? Very well, then; Felicitft. keeps her tongue to herself, and I keep my mezzo-lira!" i;li'' And, suiting the action to the word, Lord : Brackenbury returned the money to his waistcoat-pocket. h»| The child's lip quivered, and two die: shining drops slipped slowly down her.l cheeks. ..!r_:'/ The half lira was out again directly, and held before her eyes. "Hush I—no tears, little one. Sco, now:: —what is it to be? Oranges!" ibis bill Felicita, stariug at the coin through, tears that magnified it to the size of a scudo, shook her head. " Cakes ?—sweets? -toys I" Another silent negative. "Nay, then, I am at the end of my 4

guessing." The boy stamped his foot impatiently. . " But speak—speak, Felicitii I" ho cried; •■■ Then, turning to the stranger, he added, with all a boy's contempt for the weaker: sex :—" Give it to me for her, Signore—she ! would not know what to do with it." The little maiden stopped crying, lifted t! her head, and, with an indignant sob, said :

" Yes—l do know. I will buy a pair of ' filagree ear-rings." ''.;:

Lord Brackenbury laughed. "Oh, Eve 1 Eve!" he said. "Every'

where the same I ' Vivat vanitas!' Here, thou small daughter of Danae—here is thy half lira, and another to the back otit; one i) for each little car ! Go on thus, and here after thou shalt sell thy soul for dross!" Unintelligible words! and yet the cbil-

dren were somehow conscious of their cyni cism. The little girl, clutching her silver pieces, ghrank back and ran to her brother.

" What! not even a word of thanks ?" ■ said Lord Brackenbury. Half glad, half frightened, they lingered or a moment band in hand; then, moved by a common impulse, fled away like young ! fantelopes, and vanished among tho boats. Lord Brackenbury looked after them, and his face darkened. Was this the sweet i simplicity of untutored childhood T Blushed the flowery meads of Tempo and the vales' ' of Arcady with such idyllic blossoms of < cupidity and vanity ? Was the Golden Ago' peopled with archaic Giovannis and peplum trailing Felicili\s ? Ay, verily—with such and none other. A disjointed world ! fair to look upon : rotten at the core ! Be rose and strolled on, pausing now and then to look at the long line of land and water; on the one hand, the palm-crowned dill's, the shimmering sands, the far-off * frosted peaks ; on the other—waveless, pal pitating, melting into a golden haze on the horizon, the blue and dreamy sea. " It would not be such a disagreeable world, after all, if there were no human '■ beings in it 1" muttered Lord Brackenbury t
