Among fem were two girls, one dark, one air, and she with the dark hair had her bethothed beside her. They were‘ happy among the happy, they lovedâ€"â€"each â€"otherâ€"and I rode unâ€" seen. The may was thick and white, I watched them through the flowâ€" ers and vowed : I too will be hapâ€" {)y, even as they are happy, though am Visconti; I will be loved for myself alone; that fairâ€"haired girl shall care for me as her companion for her lover,â€"life shall give me that as well!" Lifting the arras, he paused again and looked back with a smile that transformed his face. The secretary gazed upon him fascinated. And bhe rose, triumphant, smiling, resting his hand on the arras that hid the door behind him. _ ‘"This ambition is his madness," thought Giannotto ; but he still was silent. ‘‘Aund three years ago, only three years ago, I stood within this very room, four lives between me and the throne of Milanâ€"four lives, all craftyâ€"and two young. But Iâ€"I the youngest, took my fate and theirs into my band. I said : ‘It is for me to reign in Milanâ€"I am the Duke.‘ In that I have succeeded !"‘ He paused, with dilating eyes and parted lips, intoxicated with pride. _The silence grew oppressive, and Giannotto moved uneasily. He loved not to sit alone with Visconti when he fell into these musings. The Duke roused himself. ‘‘Ah,"‘ he said, breaking suddenâ€" ly into a passion of declaim. ‘"‘A God can do no mare than say, ‘I have succeededâ€"in all I have unâ€" dertaken, I have succeeded !‘ And 1 can say as much. I have succeedâ€" ed. I looked on life and took from it what I wanted, the fairest and the finest things that offered ; and the priceâ€"others paid it. Truly, I have succeeded !‘ "Five years ago,""‘ he said exultâ€" ingly. ‘"I rode ousside the gates of Verona and challenged Della Scala t~ single combat. He sent his lacâ€" key out with a refusal, and in my heart I said, )‘I will bring that man so low that life shall hold nothing so sweet to him as the thought of meeting me in single fight!‘ I have succeeded ! Isotta d‘Este looked past me and laughed, and I said, ‘Bhe shall live to feel her life withâ€" in my hand.‘ In that also I have succeeded ! _ Giannotto shrank back at Visconâ€" ti‘s outburst, and made no answer. But the Duke had forgotten him. He was but uttering his thought aloud. "I can testify to the great merits of your Emulâ€" sion, especially in all diseases of a pulmonary nature.

Moreover, she could tell the Duke another timeâ€" and he would listenâ€"how Giannotto had forestalled her. _ She thrust into his hands a picce of parchment. > "I will get thy news in to the ‘Duke," he said. ‘"‘Crust it to me, and I will see he does not forget who brought them, but ‘tis imposâ€" sible to see him now." Luisa smiled. "I would be my own newsâ€"bearâ€" er,‘‘ she said, and made no moveâ€" ment to go. ‘‘Visconti is in his laboratory," said CGiannotto angrily. ‘"‘Whatâ€" ever thy news, art thou so mad as to think of following him there? Wilt thou not trust them to me?‘ he added more gently. Bhe shook her head placidly. "Have thy way,"‘ sneered Gianâ€" notto.â€" ‘‘Stay and see the Duke, and be dismissed for having left thy post, and remember there are more eyes on the western tower than thou knowest." The old. woman looked uneasy, but stubbonly kept her place. And seizing his bag and papers, Gianâ€" notto was gone, and the heavy door closed behind him before she could know what was going to happen. "Giannotto!‘‘ she cried in alarm. ‘"‘Listen a momentâ€"â€"‘" And she ran and pushed at the door. Giannotto opened it a little and showed his smiling, crafty face. Giannottc longingly wondered if it were possible uo win her news from her and share in the reward. ‘I would see the Duke," she said, looking at him mistrustfully. But old Luisa seated herself calmly on one of the blackâ€"backed chairs. ‘"I will not take thy word for what I can orâ€"cannot do,"" she said. "I have important tidings for his ear alone." ‘‘Thou canst not see him,"‘ reâ€" turned the secretary, "for he is not here." Still busy with his thoughts, the secretary had reached the door, when it opened and the ancient Luisa, Isotta‘s prison attendant and spy, entered, glancing expectâ€" antly round. Giannotto looked at her slowly ; he hated herâ€"indeed, he hated most people, but her in particular, for she equalled him in servile cunâ€" ning and surpassed him in greed. Visconti did not stint his sister for money, and she might pay well. Still, dare he let her know he spied ? Then his thoughts went to Isotta d‘Este, and he wondered, with some interess, what her fatse would be. As he rose to go he remembered Valentine Visconti, flying through the garden after her secret visit, and he considered, if she could bribe him to silence heavily enough to make it worth his while to venâ€" ture an encounter with her. In open doy Isotta d‘Este had been captured; all Europe knew she was his prisoner ; Tuscany and the Empire already looked with inâ€" terest on the Duke of Milan‘s growing pcewer,. and that Duke a usurper. Visconti had to step warily. "In that too have I succeeded !" he said melodiously; and, opening the narrow door, he was gone, as always, noisslessly. The secretary shook himself. "‘Why does he unburden his soul to me?‘ he murmured. ‘"‘Does he think, because I sit silent, I have no ears, no memoryâ€"that I shall forget! ‘In that too have I sucâ€" ceeded!‘ Ay, thou hast it all thine owu way, Visconti, so far.‘ _ .. _ With a slight shrug of his shoulâ€" ders Giannotto fell to writing. _ When his pages werse finished, he put them into his bag for the Duke to sign, and grumbled at his abâ€" sence, stayed, but dared not folâ€" low. Presently he decided to take his own dismissal. igeld a Blue, > pearls, phial f moving Savae this, the vaultâ€"like chamber was void of furniture; only on the stove near the window lay a pile of things, curiously mixed. _ They were not in the laboratory when he worked there.

Visconâ€" t1 trusted overmuch to the terror of his name. amons two Giannotto slowly and cautiously pushed it a little further open. It showed him the outer laboratory, a long low room of grey stone, and lit by a large window set back a man‘s height in the wall. Hanging over a clear charcoal fire, burning in a pan, was an elaâ€" borate silver pot, seeming to quiver in the vapor that shimmered off the fire underneath. Round it on the floor stood glassâ€" es, vases, jars and goblets, glass, china and gold. 3z and dead The steps were few in number, before they twisted abruptly out of sight.

The minutes dragged on, and he fumed with imâ€" patience. & & ; Giannotto slowly and cautiously mounted. At the bend the steps still continued, bwisting again. But, as the time went on, Gianâ€" notto debated with himself that he would venture. Visconti was long. What was he doing! It was an opâ€" portunity to spy. If caught, the secretary could plead anxiety as to bis master‘s safety. â€"Summoning his courage, GHiannotto rose and crept to the unlocked door and softly pushed it back. Visconti‘s laboratory was not al> together a secret place. Giannotto nad helpgéd him in nis expermments ; there was an assistant who tended the fires. But no one followed the Duke into it unbidden.

Thirtyâ€"six thousand feet is the height of some_ of the moon‘s mountains. Statistics go to prove that schoolâ€" teachers are, on an average, longâ€" lived. For one moment Giannotto thrillâ€" ed with terror, bus a covert glance at the Duke‘s face reassured him. "I have this too give you, my lord,"" he began at once. "It was left in the Lady Isotta‘s prison.‘" Visconti took the parchment. "By whom left there?‘ he asked. "I~ kwnow not, my Alord,‘‘. said Giannotto. ‘Luisa brought it, but dared not leave her post." Truly they were a work of art. Visconti raised them delicately by the tassels and looked long at their rich blue admiringly, and with a curious expression. No sooner did the tradesman seo his debtor than he angrily demandâ€" ed his money. _ . The debtor calmly begged him not to make a scene. The debtor then made the barber a witness of the agreement, wiped the lather from his face, and left the shop. ‘ The creditor is still waiting for that debtor to be shaved. They were beautiful in their perâ€" fect workmanship, huge gauntlets fringed with pearl and gold, and tasselled at the points with rubies. On the back was a rich design also in pearl and gold, and they were lined with satin, covered in fine silk lace. ‘"‘Certainly," said _the other, pleased at the prospect against the light, which fell strong and cold upon his upturned face and thick, curling red hair, and as Giannotto gazed, fascinated, on the gleam of his teeth as he smiled with a slow satisfaction. Giannotto had seen enough. His heart beat quickâ€" ly. He drew the door to again, and crept back down the steps unobâ€" served, gaining the outer chamber trembling ; ard there for a moment fell upon his knees, as if in thanks for a most merciful escape. _ His thanks were not without their reaâ€" son. Hardly was the secretary in his chair again, before a light footâ€" fall sounded and Visconti entered. The everâ€"impecunious man sat one day in a barber‘s shop waiting to be shaved. He was lathered, when the door opened and a tradesâ€" man entered, whom he recognized as one of his largest creditors. ‘‘Won‘t you wait for the money until I am shaved?‘ he asked. His own narrow escape of a moâ€" ment since bad tied up Giannotto‘s tongue. Clearly Visconti was in a mood that held neither comment nor reâ€" ward, but one the secretary was glad to escape from so easily. With a deep obeisance he departed. ""‘Who bribes the woman to comâ€" fort Isotta d‘Este? The soldiers are to be trusted,""‘ mused Visconâ€" t1. "Once I know I will remember 1t."" > Ho drew from his doublet the velâ€" vet gloves of turquoise hue and laid them on the table. ‘"Let the Lady Isotta have it," he said. ‘"It may keep her alive. It looks to me that she may die, CGannotto, of the bad air and the confinement,"‘ and he smiled. "I would certainly not have her death. Give her the parchment." And he handed the parchment back, disâ€" missing Giannotto with the gesture. "It will not be hard to discover,"" said Visconti. ©"Someone who did not bribe Luisa high enough.‘" ‘Mastino della Scala lives,""‘ ho read again.. He handed the parchâ€" ment back to the secretary.

Owing to its heaviness it should, as a rule, be fed with someâ€" thing elss of a lighter character. A small quantity of bran will give it about the consistency of shorts, for which it then makes a very good substitute. The subject of mill feeds and their value to the stock man is of timely interest. If their purchase is to be a profitable investment from the feeder‘s standpoint, there are certain facts associated with the trade with which he should be acquainted. in the first place, much will depend on the sort of roughage and grain with which they are to be fed.
