A CORSICAN VENDETTA

By O. A. OUNTEB,

I The Successful American Playwright

CHAPTER X. (Continued.)

; Barnes, who has been studying Marina's iface, and pondering how to bring her words home to her, here says, I" When you were thinking of your noblo Iwork in the Egyptian hospitals, I shoulj ■have given you the message from the dead." Then ho tells her earnestly bu quietly the story of. how her brothor died in bia arms, and that his last solemn words to him were: "I had sooner my Hustei fonrob mo, than that the memory ot my death destroyed her life," and arise her, if she, with all her tftlont, and all her beauty and goodness, has no better work in life than fcrtking that of another. The girl anawem him calmly: Ihave thought, of that. KO often, bub 1 am a torsi can. ° Old Tomaeeo would despise mo, aim I could not look my neighbours m the tace in my dear old Wand-for they know my dead'brother was murdered, ion tain to me just as l)e Belloo did." " Ah, you have asked him ? " Of course ! I took all these pictures to him and begged him to point out) the guilty v And he ?" continued Barnes, for Marina has paused, and is beating the floor with her foot in petulant passion. "He!" cries the girl, "He! the pre tended friend of Antonio, refused to even look at them to aid my vengeance I «c said the duel was as fair a one as ever fought, and the young English ofheer was a gentleman of great hononr and bravery !"

"So" it seemed to me also !' "Ah! you agree with ham!—l<air.' Brave ? when the man who killed my brother iron armour!" '• Who told you that?" ga=p* Barne?. "Mateo, the innkeeper. The man was «liot in the fide and would have, died Übe hi? victim, bat for his cowardly protee tJ °Harnes here explains to her the incident of the lucky penny, telling her she painted it in her piyture. . Upon this the !?irl interrupte him with n cruel little laujjh, and says, " 1 bad no idea my painting' was so bad ; 1 meant it to re present a scale of armour broken oil by the bullet :

" Then you will not forget ''■ " Not while I have these to remember him by !" and Marina points to a portrait of her brother that hangs upon tho wall, then brings tho American the broken pistol and casps "It is stained with his blood ! and takinp- from her bosom a little leaden ball that fangs about her white neck, cries, her lips trembling with sorrow: "The bullet that killed my clear brother! By this 1 will remember my oath." •'Yon are young yot," replies Barnes, sadly. " .Some day you'll know it is happier to love than to hate." But she answers, rising as if to end dis cussion : "While I live I shall know but one passion, and that is hate. Until this ih linished, not if all the men upon the earth asked me, would I know love." " Not if, in the gardens of the Khedive, ! Edwin Anstruther asked you ':" j Marina starts and staggers as if he had struck her; a great wave- of blood rushes over her face, and then leaves it deadly pale with misery, and, sinking down, she utters a cry of agonised longing. And thus Barnes leave;? her, his own phlegmatic nerves, a little shaken, for ho,; ha 3 had -than lie efit'es : fofc* this day; and meditates in a startled dazed sort of "way: $rea£.h,eayens ! If those two meet, and shoHl&evkvknomi"'-.'

CHAPTER XL ■ THE OTHER ONE. After using l three matches : to light his cigar, in a monotonous, listless sort, of manner, Mr Barnes takes his way towards his hotel, turning over in his mind: th c various possibilities pertaining ;to £ui<T* brother, and decides that* that young qrtioer muafc -leave Nice. They couldn't • foiL to come togetherif Edwin,stayecHiere, he medi tates, Marina would be sure to discover him sooner or later. Though as 1 could prevonfc his being assassinated, J have no doubt, still ib would make a very disagreeable compli cation. Altogether, if he's a man 1 think ho if?, I must ship him off tonighfe As he licine to plan the details of the affair, lie finds himself in front of unpleasant duties nt> every point. I shall have to disclo.se to the chap that he has taken a man's life, and that from now on he must look to his own as carefully as the Czar of Russia guards hi.-i precious Imperial welfare. And then, how much shall I disclose to Edwin ? I can't tell him his angel of mercy will kill him on sifht; ho wouldn't believe mo if I did. Tiien if by any chanco he should love Marina" —hero Mr Barnes emits a prolonged whistle and turns the problem over again in his mind, and, having by this time entered the Promenade dcs Anglais, which is now full of foreign visitors that have not as yet fled from this winter city, he suddenly finds his meditation ended apd his problem solved in the pleasantest manner imaginable. A victoria is coming toward him in the street 5 in ifc is a young lady of radiant beauty, in tire freshest of white summer dresses, coloured by a corsage bouquet of blush rosebuds and a sash of shimmering satin of the same delicate tint; making a vision whose loveliness attracts every mas culine eye on the promenade except that of the American, who is in a deep brown study. Beside her sits a plain, round-faced girl, with a long lanky form ; big enough to be sixteen, and dressed short enough to be eleven. This child is a mass of gaudy colouring, from her bronze boots and cardigan stockings to her blue hat and. red feather; the parts coming between being clothed in a bright yellow dress and purple sash. As Barries comes near the carriage, the young lady makes a sudden sign to the coachman, the horses are pulled up, and a soft voice says in play ful piteousness; "Are you not going to speak.to me?" The gentleman addressed, who has a gloomy scowl upon his countenance, and is at that moment meditating that he has not seen Enid Anstruther for a whole day, and that twenty-four hours is a little eternity, awakes from his apathy with a start;' the frown upon his face becomes sunshine; he takes off his hat and answers "Speak to you ? of course ! So long as I'm out of the deaf and dumb asylum !" Then seeing that Miss Anstruther has a hand hold cowards him, .seizes it.

His speech makes the gawky girl laugh and say : "Why, you're funny, ar'nt you ?" You're the celebrated Mr Barnes, of New York." "And you, I presume, are the equally illustrious Miss Maud Chartris ?" " Yes, I'm the little girl," here she grins, " that you're going to give candy enough to to kill her. Enid told me. She's been looking all over for you; haven't you, Enid ?" This brings a -wonderful colour to Miss Anstruj/her's face, which Barnes thinks is very becoming. He watches to see how she wjll parry theinnocenfc'e candour, which she does by, saying promptly, in a very matter of fact way: " Yes, I have been looking for you; there is a note from me, at your hotel." And then, with a sudden asperity of manner, she turns on the offender at her side and discharges: " Maud, if you don't stop sucking the end qi your parasol, Mr Barnes will forget he promised you the Cfwty, "

"He dars'nt!" returned the Maud, with a grin of conscious power. " The other one. tried to slip oufc of giving me a boiibonmere, he said i should have, and you know how 1 iixed him." "The other one," jars on Barnes, as well as on Miss Anstruther, who hus become in tensely interested in the coachman in front of her. "How did you iix him '!" mutters he savagely

" I—l uofc him to ask—" Here his divinity's face becomes ho dis tressed tluit Barnes cuts Maud short by saying " You run into that candy store, Im'lf v, square down the street, and buy what you want, and I'll come in and pay for it!" A rush and Maud is gone ; she waits no second invitation. " What did you make that rash ofler for V" says Miss Anflml her, innocently. "Because I wamou to relieve you of the innocent's candour, 1 ' says Mi' Barnes, lyi»S glibly, with a laugh. "I'm rather afraid your diplomacy will cost yon dear ; you have no idea of her | capacity for bonbonn : bul; you have nmrto ' lict your frieml, nmi she is a vindictive and {ijrcjrttfijivo enemy. IS'inv, why didn't yon call upon i|io last evvujiig"' I waa quite Ipnely !'" "Lonely, wifcVyoui , brother here J io joins thp Amerieiui. 11 .My brothel , had hub half an hour with me. Mis ship was suddenly ovUei'C«i to Uibraltur, and sailed at Minuet yesterday." , Barnes yivos a sigh of relief; liis problem is solved." Edwin Anstruther is out of Nice, so there can be no trouble for the pro sent. While he is thinking this, Enid con tinues : '• I could not ask you to call last night, because I was alouo ; though, had you come in, I should have pardoned your intrusion. But now Lady Cliarfcris is here, and, protected by herniation winga, I shall be happy to receive you at any time-this evening, I hope. Oh, what a greedy girl ?" This last is addressed to Miss Clmrlris, who comes to the carriage followed by the shop man, who is laden down with numerous paokages of sweets of every kind, and is proportionately polite and cringing. " The reason ] took fo much was because I've a hungry brothei anil sister ; the reason i took no little is because it stale. Thank >ou till next, time, ;Mr Btuiu;s, of New York." " you «£•< enough toeaiat home?' , questions thai gentleman, ; "X<?t of Marrow </A<<vs," replies* Miss .Maud with her mouth full, and us the carriage (hives uway sho erica out '"1 like you better than ' ihi? oilier one.' What uro you looliing so cro-s at me for:" The lir.st 1.4 to Barnes, and I ho second to Miss AnstrnUier, who colours and lauyhs a little, leaving tlmt gontlemnn savagely pondering over " the other one ;"' which is a new dis traction for him. " Who tho deuce is ' iho other one,' and how did Mund ii.v him? If she only fixed him so that lie won't, come to time again I'll make her a very handsome present." With this malicious retleetion Barnes pays the candy dealor, nnd wonders if a poor man couldn't/ live on his bonbon bill through eevewd lori£ strikes. Going to his hotel, Barnes lindsalittlenoto that makes the sun hcchj a little brighter to him as he reads. \ Thursday. Pear Mr Ramcs.— LaAy Chnrtrin has arrived ; so now I can asU you to call that 1 may thank you again, vs o slmllbo pr. liotuo this evening after eight.—Yours very sincerely, Xxii) A Anstri'tiikr. ! Hotel (los Anglais, Nk-e. His valet :tnd baggage having arrived from Paris, Mr Barnes slips into a dress suit and feels a lit-blo the bettor in it, as men generally do, though most of thorn detest tho trouble of tho change. After dinner Ijqwqop wisdom by inspiration im ported t'roin Havana, nmi decides) on two things--first;, nob to jriv« any hint, to Mi»n Austruthor of his suspicions in regard to flier brother having fought lib duel nnd *Killed his jtmuir-" fho had bottor never Tsnow that/ he thinks ; second, to make hiinselfabKohttely certain that Edwin (lornrcl Anstvutlier was the English officer who mot Antonio Paoji on that nlornipg in Corsica. This can bo easily done, ho imagines, by a little judicious pumping and a look at his sweetheart's photograph album ; psrhaps, also, he will sweu picture of '"the other one." This turns his thoughts to a different channel, and he wonders how long fit will be before h'j buys tlio engagomont ring , ; and if " the other oho?" Here ho jumps up suddenly and marches straight for the Hotel dcs, Anglais, for a, dreadful, idna has flashed through his mind :." What if < the obliei' one '■' is in ISiceV" > {To be, Continued.)
