Then, presently, ho clambered down ; hand under liand, and dropped apparently into an unseen boat below. Ycta moment or two, and the boat itself emerged into sight some Hundred, yards or so further on; a fillip's boat, manned by six blue-jackets and a steersman. In the stem seat, Hlill with their backs towards the shoro and their faces towards Naples, sat the two strangers—the lady in her brown hat and drooping feather; tho gentleman with his gold-laced cap. Lancelot watched them through his glass. He looked, as it were, right down into the boat, and upon the upturned faccn.of tho 'rowers. They were pulling straight from I shore ;as straight as if bound for the oppo site side of the bay. Once clear ot the surf, their oars rose and fell with the precision of clockwork, Every moment, the strip of blue widened between them and the rocks ; every moment the boat seemed to diminish, and their faces to become less distinct. Now they alter their course, bearing away in the direction of Portico ; and now he moved—he in the gold-laced cap .... Will ho look back ? No ; ho stoops to fold a rug about his lady's feet !Ho bends towards her, as if in narnest conversa tion he rests bis ami on tho back of tho scat ..... " Lancelot I" So far away already ! The foatures of the rowers are no longor distinguishable .. . " Lancelot!—give Hi) your hand. lam afraid to co back .. . and lam afraid to go forward 1" He flung tho glass upon tho award, and ran to help her. " Disobedient wife ! Did I not tell you to stay where you were ?" " What womaii ever yet did as she was biddod ?" "'lake carol The steps are broken away .... So :—now you are safe. But what possessed you to venture down alone 1" "What possessed mo? Tin spirit of mutiny—of curiosity—of jealousy." " Jealousy ?" " Why not ? Do you suppose that I have non cm my composition ? Ah 1 how little you know me ! I could be as green-eyed as rthello. if you gave mo cause. But what baa become of yourinnamorata ?" " What 'do ' you moan ?" "la she goue ? llava Calyppo and Odysseus changed places, and has the en chantrcm sailed away, leaving the hero disconsolate) ? la that her golden galley ?" I aughing, who snatched up tho field glus.s, and followed the course of the boat. " Come," she said ; " you may as well make a clean breast of it. Where did you meet her ? What is hor name ? Almc all, is sho pretty ?" They bad again changed tht-ir course, and wero making, apparently, for some point between Castellamare and Torre clc'.l' Annunzists. Already the boat wag so far distant, that Lancelot could barely distin guish the rowers from the rowed. And yet ... if Wiuifrcd ,had not taken pos session of the glass .... " You will fnot tell mo whether she ia pretty ? Decidedly you meau to mako me jealous {' "My dearest trill, if it wero not alto gether too ridiculous," .. . " Well, if it were not altogether too ridi culous—what then ?' " Then 1 would tell you that I have never to my knowledge, Been that lady's face ; thnt I don't know whether she is young or old; plain or pretty I" "Yon expect me to believe Mint?" " I expect you to believe wliatevof I say — seriously." And again his eyes wandered to the boat; now so small that it looked like some kind of nix-legged insect paddling along the face of the waters. " It was not the lady who attracted my attention ; but her companion. Ho reminded nic (if—of a follow I used to know —years ago—in. ftly old fttudent days." "In Pin is ?" " But it was only a chance resemblance 1 Shall we go up again ?' He helped her back, step by step, till they reached the upper level. Here the lame custode awtiled them. " Who were those people ?' Lancelot niked careleEsly. " Wbcic do they come from »" The man shook his head. They were strangers ;he knew nothing of thorn. " Are thire any private yachts or shipi of war stationed at Castellamare ?" No ; there was nothing of the kind. Pome six or eight merchant craft, he believed, were lying just now in the harbour ; but as lor ships of war, they had not seen po much as a guv-boat iv these waters for the last ten ycais. Then they wont back flowly ; renting awhile in the orange-walk, and turning aside to look at a littlu ' casino,' tho walls of which were encrusted with fragments of in scriptions and bas-reliefs discovered among the foundations of a Roman villa which once occupied tbc sito of tho present resi dence. " And now, dear, you havo seen it all— the house in which I was born ; the gardens, the orange-walk, the old cliff-path by which we went up and down so often — Cuthbert and I! lie kept his boat at Castellamare ; but it used to be brought round o»ery morning to the landing-place yonder. There was one cruuny in the dill", 1 remember—lower down thnn where we stood just now—in which an acanthus bad taken root. It flowered every summer. I wonder it it grows there still !. . Ah, well !I am not sorry to h»re seen the old placo once more ; but never again—never again !" With a sigh he gathered a sprig of myrtle and put it in bis purse ; and presently they were rattling along the coast-road, in a cloud of dust, on their way back to Sorrento. But Lancelot was silent and thoughtful all the rest of the day, CHAPTER LXI. "HO BIGGER THAN A MAN'S HAND." lodging in Sorrento at the Hotel della Sirena, Lancelot and Winifred found the place full of English, and thcmsolves sur rounded by a halo of popularity. Nor— having regard to the romantic nature of the Briti.'h tourist—was that result surprising. Yontu, wealth, rauk, good looks were theirs; aud besides this foretold ptssport to success, our bride and bridegroom reaped the fruits of that peculiar interest which attaches, however irratiouallj', to the earlier stages of matrimony. "Lord and Lady Bracken bury—on their wedding tour-only two months married, I hear—brother to that Lord Brackenbury who dissappeared so mysteriously, you know, about five years ago—immensely rich —coal mines somewhere in the north- Pretty ?—oh, awfully pretty—quite beauti ful, in fact—No monoy, they say—ancient family—quite a'marriage decoour'—charm ing couple IHe paint?, you know—was to have been an artist—makes lovely *kotchos —the father was British Ambassador here at Naples, for ever so many years—most extra ordinary affair that, about the elder brother —oh, murdered !—undoubtedly muidcred —excessively eccentric—used to travel armed to the teeth with a hundred thousand pounds' worth of jewellery in an iron box— a premium to brigands, as one may say. ludecd, yes -what else was to be expected? —No, I don't think the body T7a sever found —quite a ' cause cdldbrc '—Did you notice Lady Brackenbury'a dress this morning? Wa>n't it perfectly exquisite, and 'so' simple ! —a,h, well! 'nij>' husband is over head and ears in love with her —and yours ? —How amusing I—But really, you know they are very nice—couldn't be nicer—l have written to my people iv Cheshire to be sure to call upon them, as foou as they return home—Lancashire, did you say?—Ah well, their place is just on the borders of both counties,—partly in Cheshire, partly in Lancashire—you may call it which you please! By the way, wasn't Vesuvius lovely last uight ? Did you see that streak of fire on the Naples side of the cone ? The laudlord said it was sulphur ; but that's nonsense—it must have been lava- Giuseppe, our courier, came to us before we left the ' table d' hOte, 'to say how fine the mountain was, and to ask if wo would like a boat—we were on the water for nearly three hours—ob, delightful I smooth as glass —we did not get buck to our rooms till nearly midnight—yes, indeed !—most for lunate—many people are here for months together, and see nothing but a little smoke all (ho time I" Such, with variations, was the kind of gossip going on daily among the visitors at the Sirena. Conscious, meanwhile, of a prevailing atmosphere of smiles anil pleasantness, Lancelot and Winifred took life on its suuny side and made perpetual holiday. 'lhey rode on donkeys, they boated, they walked, they drove ; they ran over for a couple of days to Capri, and faw the blue grotto ; they made the excursion to Arualli and Salerno ; they sketched every where—among the pines of Massa and the lone rocks of Galli, and the pathetic solitudes of Pompeii. They, too, saw that " streak of fire " on Vesuvius- a thin red I line edged by a wavering fringe of lurid ' smoke. I ancelot at once pronounced it to be a shndcrstream of lava. Next momin« however, there was nothing to be seen save a lone; brown splash, and a fresh deposit of sulphur round the lip of the cone. " All this time they were daily planning the ascent of the mountain, and daily defoirin« it iv favour of other excursions ; Wiuifred being, m truth, more anxious togo than was Lancelot to take her. *

" If my husband made a full c6lif&£s™ of his sina," mid Winifred, "h 0 wonlS f) having purposely and maliciouilv ink* posed every obstacle he can think of !" I would be glad if you pave up the idea >' he replied. "Itin an unfit excursion fnr lady." ura " Ladies go up every day j" " Ladies do many things -\vhicli thm, ought not to bo allowed to do ; Vesnlin* being one of those thing*, and the Gri»f Pyramid lanotlier." tat " Nevertheless, I have set my heart ascending Vesuvius—and the fir "I Pyramid also, if ever you take me to Eevnf But you promise that it shall really be to morrow ?" w< " If you must have it so ; and noffiitv, happens to prevent." US "What should happen !_Ad erapti oa , Perhaps you have bespoken one for th purpose !" we "Just that! Shall we Bay :—poßitiveiv for one night only ; Amphitheatre Rovli the Bay of Naples. By special desire-to tmorrow, Wednesday, the sixteenth festal,! that renowned performer Mount Vesit Vius, will have the honour to Erupt nf midnight precisely. Tlio audience «r« requested to be in their seats by forty-fiwi minutes past eleven. Carriages to Tm ordered nt break of day. Prices well, what about prices ? Shall we'bVidg! tilied in saying a guinea a stall ?" Wiuifred first laughed, and then looked grave. " I think it is rather shocking to make light of any tiling so serious," she aaid " Yoti are right, and I ought to kno* Letter. An eruption took place one autumn, while I was at school at Lausanne I saw the scene of disaster afterivards and a terrible scene it was, A whole villaoe the village of Caposccco-waa overwhelmed" One poor 61d nian had both feet shrivelled"' several brave fellows who were rendering assistance to the sufferers were blinded by the burning ashes; and some very old ] people were burned alive in their beds There was great misery all that winter among the unfortunate refugees, most of whom fled into Castellamare. Ah, dear child !it is but too true—aa eruption of Vesuvius is no laughing matter." This conversation took place one Tuesday morning in a secluded creek known at Sorrento as "Queen Johanna's Bath" Entered from the sea by a narrow breach in the cliir^, this creek expands within into a deep, pellucid pool completely chut i D „,, every side — deep as an nrn By rooks oncompassdi An arch of ruined brickwork spans the cleft which was once the water-gate ofajßomnn villa. The surrounding cliffs ate thick-set with brick fouudations, and W. ments of reticulated vaultiug. On every ledge.iand in cveiy cranny, grow mosses and wild-flowers; and on the grassy level above, iiiddcn away among violet-rootß and brambles, may yet be found, by those who care to seek for them, patches of mosaic pavement, and coins, and graven gems. To this solitary spot they had often coma of late; Lancelot with his sketching materials, Winifred with her book. It wm a ntfok ior a painter, or a poet, or a pair of lovers. Through the dark arch, they caught a glimpfo of the bay and the gliding eaili beyond. In the translucent depths beneath their feet, every shell and seaweed and star fish was visible as if teen through a micro* scope j while the air was filled with sweet scents ot closer aud wild thyme, "and the murmuring of innumerable bees." All that day, the sea was calm and the sky cloudless. Not a leaf siirred upon the trees ; not a lippple broke the glassy sur face of the bay. i<ven Vesuvius, seeming to share in the universal languor, Beat up so imperceptible a thread of smoke, that but for the little canopy of cloud which hung motionless above the cone, it might have been doubted that the mountain breathed. The night that followed was Very still and hot; and up till twelve o'clock, the gardens of the Pirena wero full of loiterers watching the fireflies, sipping coffee and iced drinks, and smokiug cigarettes. Even when tfae last of these were gone and the hotel was closed for the night, the little world of Sor rento was still abroad, twanging mandolines at street-corners 3 laughing and chattering and story-teiliiig down by the water-steps i in tho harbour ; and ringing barcaroles from bo«t to boat out in the bay. Lancelot woke early next morning. He looked at his watch. It was four o'clock, and through the closed jalousies he could see that the sun was shining. Very softly, be . rose, stole into his dressing-room, aud opened (he window. The sea was: as smooth, the sky as cloudless, as yesterday. There was not a sail in sight; there was not a human being stirring. There was a dreamy scent of oraupe blossoms on the air; the thrushes were tinging in the garden below ; and a lovely cloud, roty and golden, " a cloud no bigger than v man's hand," hung over Vesuvius, like the cloud tb»t rested on tho Ark. t I The young man looked long at this fair, familiar scene ; turned away with a sigh; then partly dressed himself, and eat down to wjite. For several mornings he had waked about this time—in fact, ever since that visit to the old villa, now nearly a week ago—and each morning he found it impossible to sleep again. So, luvingan accumulation of letters to answer, he made a virtue of necessity, and went to woik. But to work was Dot easy. His thoughts wandered; his pen stopped ; and he caught himself more than once staring into vacancy, and there seeing, not the wardrobe in front of his writing table, but the home of bis boyhood, the lawns and shrubberies in which he need to play, and a certain grassy knoll on which three figures stood, with their faces towards the sea. One of these figures haunted him, He was impatient with himself for his oirn folly ; he told himeelf again and again that it was a mere chance resemblance—that it was no resemblance at all—and yet..... and yet he could not fhake off the impres sion 1 So strong was that impression, and so startling, that he rode over next day to Onstellamare for no other purpose than to make inquiry about the .•hipping there lying at anchor. Those inquiries, however^ resulted in nothing. The harbour was crowded with masts and the quays with rough sea-taring men; but the vessels Vere all Italian traders fiom various parts of tho coast; some from Keggto, some from Leghorn, two from Tarente, three or font from Marsala, one from Bari, and at least balf-a-dozcu from Genoa. Besides these, there was a small Government steamer be* longing to the dockyard, and a score OJ more of those picturesque luggers laden with pottery, maccaioni, wine, oil, and | grain, which ply between Naples and the smaller coast towns. As for local fishing and pleasure craft, their name was legibni But English yachts, or English vesselsol any kind, there was none. . t* And now, an end to dreams aud fancies. Here were letters from his lawyer, hisarchfr tect, his builcer, his agent, and a dozen more, all waitingto be answered out of hand,1 He must get those answers written before! breakfast; for at eleven, they were to start for Naples; and at Naples they hadiiu> ranged to put up fora couple of days in order to ascend Vesuvius from Kesinaneit morning. " , • v So again he dipped his pea m the inKj and went on writing. ;; •■ Presently the clock on the mantelpiece struck five. Then, fancying that he heard a sound in the next room, he rose, and peeped through the half-open door. >_ Winifred still slept. Her hair fell IB heavy mas?es on the pillow; her cheek rested on her outstretched arm j her handj half droopins, half unclosed, lay just where it was lying when he left her. Listening to her gentle breathing, looking upon her beauty with a painter's eye and a lovers tenderness, Lancelot lingered for a moment J • then turned away to resume his work. But, glancing towards the open window as he passed, he beheld a startling change iv the placid sceue without. Instead «t that little roseate cloud which reminded him just now of the cloud upon the Ark; .10 saw a huge column of smoke rising in wh} te and golden-tinted masses against an in tensely clear blue sky. Even as he gawd upon it, the speed and density of law column increased with amazing rapidity, M if propelled each moment at a higher and higher pressure. He ran to wake Winifred. ■', "Get up, dear, he said. !" Get up« once ! Vesuvius is smoking magnificently* but it may not )a«t many minutes." , ; She got up flushed aud startled, lotting him wrap her in a warm dressing-gown, ana following him to the window. . Kven in tbat brief moment, the smoKe had doubled iv volume ; and still, vfitn in conceivable force and swiftness, it KeP 1 rushing upward—developing, spreading changing, towering higher and Ihifilw 15 piling itself mass above mass ; assuming a thousand strange and fantastic shapes i shapes of suulit promontories, ot castles* lions, capes, aqueducts, JAlps 1 It was n.? longer a column, but a gigautic (plume; « was no longer a plume, but an arch—an aIOO indescribably splendid aud stupendous; spanning half the horizon. ■ ' J. Winifred clasped her hands and Btooa breathless. . " Oh, Lancelot !" she said, awe-strttCK, "it is an eruption." (To be cou/iiii/et'on Saturday.)
