OUR SHORT STORY. THE STRONG BOX. CHAPTER II. (CONTINUED.) He kissed her again, and she did not shrink. "My own. my own." he continued, I cannot give you up. I love you, I love you! When at a late hour Lorenzo returned to the Contarini Palace he encountered in'the great hall the steward, Armand Danville, who gazed at him with a meaning and satirical smile.Lorenzo scarcely acknow- ledged the almost cringing bow of the latter, but hurried to his chamber, to be alone with his thoughts, and to sleep,-if it might be. the wretched sleep that guilty lovers know. Three weeks after this meeting of the lovers Bianca Visconti and Francesco Con- tarini were wedded, the nuptials being cele- brated with the greatest pomp and magni- ficence. It was observed by many of the guests that the bride was very pale. She seemed distressed and spoke little, hut her silence and distraction at the nuptial feast were amply made up for by the almost boisterous gaiety of Count Contarini. To his nephew he was more than usually tender. The latter seemed also in goor. almost j exuberant spirits, and drank deeply of the rare wines and liqueurs which were served round by the retainers. Lorenzo rarely addressed the bride, and she only replied to him in monosyllables. Armand, the steward, alone interpreted: the cause of her agitation and pallor correctly. He only. of all present, I knew of their whilom love vows. When all j was done, and the guests had separated for tlte night. Armand sought Lorenzo, whom he I found in the great hall, pacing to and fro, and absorbed in thought. He went up to him. "My lord." he said, "I would speak with you a moment." Well, speak on," answered Lorenzo, im- patiently. I know, my lord, of your love for the Lady Bianca." Lorenzo started as, if a snake had stung him, the steward regarding him grimly the while. "How," he exclaimed, "you know, dog! How dare you talk thus to me?" "Aye, I dare," re"ll\nded Armand. "and„j mark me, if I discover any further signs of familiarity between you twain, or observe any suspicious tokens that you have not abandoned your now guilty passion for ever, I will. as sure as there be a God in Heaven, let my lord know all. I have been his servant for twenty years, and he has trusted me. 1 will not have him betrayed now!" Lorenzo grew purple with passion, and he half drew his sword- Nay, it needs no -violence, my Lord Lorenzo; mark and remember!" and Armand turned on his heel and left the hall abruptly. while the despairing lover remained rooted, to the ground with rage. But fate willed not that the new-found happiness of the bride- groom should be shattered by the lips of Armand. In another and a stranger way the guilty secret was revealed. CHAPTER III. Some two months after hia marriage Lord Franoesco, having banqueted many guests, as was his wont, ascended the grand stair- case to his private chamber, supported the case to his private chamber, supported the while by iwa trusty servants and having in his brain the fumes of much wine. He sat down there in a strong oaken chair. Then in a gruff and somewhat hoarse voice he commanded the attendants to leave him, accompanying the same command with many Pagan and Christiun oaths, which may not here be set down. Presently, his eyes, wan- dering, chanced to fall on the strong box. By the toe nails of St. John," he exclaimed, rising unsteadily from his seat, I have never got it open yet. Iwill to-night, if I have to chop it open with my sword." He continued gazing intently at the box, and lie observed a strange thing. The rose -mosaic in front of it glowed with a ruddy light, which cast a radiance all round, and encompassed it with a luminous halo. The Count passed his hand over his eyes as he saw this marvel. I am drunk or I am bewitched." he mut- tered. Let's pee the accursed thing." tered. Let's pee the accursed thing." He got up unsteadily and walked to it. The fumes of the wine were now somewhat dis- sipating. He examined the box carefully, seeking a spring or keyhole. Suddenly he happened to touch the centre of the rose with his hand, pressing it rather roughly. The lid of the box sprang open and stood straight up! By the godship of Bacchus, what a marvel," quoth the Count. Now to see what it contains." First he drew out a dagger, whose blade was of curiously wrought steel "chased with images of flowers, fruits, and trees. The handle was of gold, thickly plated and inlaid with precious stones; yet he put it aside on the cabinet with an oath of disappointment. Next he pulled out a small coil of silk rope chat had once, apparently, been of a yellow hue, but which was now soiled, and dulled by age. He threw it down by the dagger, and then, putting his hand in the box, extracted a small roll of parchment., which he did not open, but laid down with 1he. (lagger and rope. Last of all-and this left the box empty -he found a small globe of crystal about six inches in diameter. It was hollow, for within it sparkled and glittered, like liquid, fire, a fluid, which, as the Count poised it and weighed the globe in his hand, washed in tiny lambent wavelets against the crystal. Count Contarini felt very wrath indeed. For this," muttered he, have I brought this box from the shores of the Propontis. A dagger! By the thumbs of my ancestors, have I not daggers enow? A silk rope! A thing to hang a slave with; hemp is cheaper. A greasy roll of' parchment, and an old glass globe! A fine lot of trumpery, truly, to drag about the world.! How Visconti will gibe wheu I tell him of my treasure trove!" He took up the roll of parchment- and opened it. It was writ in close, small Latin characters, but my lord. being learned and of clerkly skill, could easily decipher the words, which were in substance as follows:- Man who readest this beware! Pupppet of a fickle fate, take heed how thou trifiest with destiny. A great power is given to thee with this parchment—the power of the I crystal globe, the globe of Hermes!—the globe that descended to me through my ancestors, and was bequeathed by a mightier than I to a greater than thou." ) The Count ceased his reading a moment, and glanced at the globe lying at his feet. It shone and glittered in the light of the astrals, and from its own seemingly internal fire cast forth myriad sparkling rays! Was this. indeed, the crystal he had so recently scorned? He turned; again to the manu- script. It will give the power to make the un- seen seen—to see either friend or foe- whether they be distant or near at hand. To view their comings and their goings, and all their acts, hostile to thee or friendly. Such is part of the power of the crystal globe." Again my lord paused in his perusal and looked once more at the lauded talisman. He read on- I Take the globe and place it in your right hand, and look at it steadfastly, gazing neither to the right band nor to the left. and will to see whom thou wilt, or man, or woman, and so it shall be." "I will tesr this boasted power now," ox- claimed the Count, excitedly, dropping the partially-read manuscript back into the box. "But much I fear me 'tis some impish jug- glery." He looked at the globe awhile before he picked it up. A perilous power," he mut- tered, if it be true what is written." He held it in his hand. still hesitating, Whom shall I wish to see? My brain feels heavy. The remnants of the wine still cloud and encumber it. I will to see my wife—my Bianca He fixed bis eyes on the globe in a firm concentrated stare. For a few moments jthere was no change in it. Then it gradually grew more and more luminous. Tiny wave- lets of blnisb fire danced, frothed, and shim- mered within it. Gradually they grew I calmer, and the globe became a sphere of steady splendid light. Preseutly strange out- lines became apparent. They formed, and formed, until he saw a well-known room, with its gorgeous covering of purple velvet, braided in gold with, the arms of the house of Contarini, and he noticed on the retiring table his wife's diamonds, jewels, and brace- jets, and such Valuable trifles, many of which he had given her in the days of their betrothal and marriage. Still the vision became more and more distinct. He saw the form of his bride clad in a white clinging robe of soft sheeny silk, and then—God be merciful!—the figure of a man with his arms around her, his lips pressed to hers. They I released one another, and the man. turning his, head. showed to the visionary the face and. I features of his nephew, Lorenzo! With a terrible cry the count dashed the globe to the ground. He pressed his hands to his eyes and brows. "Am I mad? Mad! Bianca false! Ko, no. she is too beautiful to be false—the foul thing? lied—and Lorenzo? No, no! it cannot be. If— if." a terrible smile distorted his lips. "A Contarini knows how to avenge." He grew calmer. His eyes fell on tbe dagger and the silken cord. He picked up the cord, and, bind- i;ig it round his left arm. and taking' the dagger in his right hand, he crept stealthily out of the chamber on to the grand staircase. On the landing, in a pale light, stood the great, massive marble lion. the/emblem of his h'^use. "Contarini knows how to avenge," he muttered again, and so muttering he stole noiselessly along the corridor to his wife's chamber. There he paused and put his ear to i he tapestry, hangings that covered the door. He heard within suppressed whispers, and a fierce gleam of rage shone in his eyes. He drew back under the shadow of a suit of armour (that of one of his great ancestors), which, spear in hand. stood grimly on* its bronze pedestal as it stood for centuries, tho mute wilness of many a lover's vow, con- spirator's planning, gorgeous revelry, and straftge scenes of mirth, sorrow, and crime. He watched and waited, and ground his teeth together to keep himself from crying out, for I¡is emotions scenied to choke him as lIe tried to repress them. Like a wild beast. he longed to rush on his prey. Presently the door was softly opened and the tapestry parted, and Lorenzo came out into the cir- ridor. The crouching man behind the armour neither moved nor spake. Lorenzo cast a rapid look around him. and then with cat-like celerity ctvpi on and ascended the staircase at the end of the corridor to iiis room. The eouat followed his movements with terrib'o eyes, and when he was out of sight got up. moved back the tapestry, and entered his wife's room. She uttered a slight cry, but swiftly recovered herself. "Oh! is it you?" site said indifferently, but with a charming smile, though she was appalled by the insane glitter in his eyes. Never had she appeared more beautiful, this false wife of his, than now, with her blue eyes looking trustfully at him. with her ripe red lips parted in a dazzling smile, and with her glorious red gold hair falling in sunny clusters over the whito gleaming neck and shoulders, the clinging silk night-robe displaying the perfect symmetry of her figure and the charms of her beauti. fully rounded limbs. She got up with extended arms to embrace him, but with a rough gesture he motioned her off. "I have .seen and I have heard," he said, in a voice which, though low, was full of concentrated horror and ferocity, and which thrilled her through and through, and rooted her to the spot. He drew out the dagger from his waist-belt. She would have cried out, but her lips refused their office and only inarticulate sounds came. "You must die." he said; "a Contarini pre- fers death to dishonour." He stretched out the dagger towards her. "Take it and kill yourself. I would not be your executioner." She did not move, but her eyes were dilated with horror. He seized her delicate shoulders in his rough grasp and forced her on her knees At length she found voice. "No! no!" she wailed, "yon would not have me die! Mercy! mercy! "Yea," he answered, "such mercy as you have shown me! Woman, you have destroyed my life." Sh<; moaned perpetually, convulsively clasp- ing his knees with her fair white liands. Ho caught hold of her left hand and savagely pulled off the diamond betrothal ring which glittered on the beautiful finger. With an. oath lie llung it from him. "You loved me once," she almost shrieked, "pity me now." He answered 110 word. Merci- lessly lie raised the dagger, and, holding her firmly in his stroug sinewy grasp, si ruck! No cry came! lie released his bold. She sank back with the cruel steel in her breast, the golden hair blood-clotted, and the face white and dreadful. She was dead! The slayer bent over his victim. He seemed to feel no remorse, only a stern curiosity. Hp. lifted her right hand, held it for a moment, then let it go. It fell with a dull thud. "One," he said with a ghastly smile— "One." and turning he passed out at the door. casting no glance behind. He still had a yellow cord twisted round his left arm. He descended the grand staircase and reached the steward's apartments on the basement below. He opened the door and entered. There was a dim light burning, and on the couch at the further end of the room Armand was lying alseep. He went un to him and shook him by the arm. Armand awoke with a start. "You, my lord," he said in a sleepy, although surprised voice. Then lie started up. affrighted at the livid and awful aspect of the other's face. They spoke together in low tones for several minutes, the steward rapidly dressing meanwhile. The latter seemed agitated and frightened; the count seemed to be urging something on him with a vehement and threatening manner. After a while the steward said, "I will help you! but pause! my lord, pause!" The count laughed sardonically. "Make haste," he exclaimed, "or I will not spare you. Desert me now and you know me, Armand Danville. Murderer as you are, if you shrink from this thing I will not spare yon. I can bring your head to the block, and I will. Remember twenty years agone!" The steward shuddered, and. going to tha wall, took down two black dominoes and two masks which were hanging there. These they put on and together quietly left the chamber.

Some days afterwards the body of a man, was found in the canal opposite the ruins of the palace. It had an old silk rope tied round. the neck. Death was evidently the result of strangulation. It was the body of Lorenzo Contarini; but how it came there no one ever knew, though it may be. could Armand Dan- ville, have been made to speak, be might, have given some clue. But the steward was ever a silent man, and kept his counsel, as was doubtless best, since who could have been, benefited? The strong box had (lone its work well. Dead folk tell no tales! (THE END.)
