MITCHEL Copyright by American Preas Asso- ciation, 1911 Undoubtedly the most interesting city in the world--at any rate, to Ruro- peans and Americans--is Rome. For twenty-fve centuries she has been passing. through exciting scenes such as have been but occasional with other cities. And her changes have beea no less remarkable. There was the austere. purity of the republic, the profligacy of the empire, her almost obliteration following the many at- tacks of her enemies, the petty quar- rels and villainies of the middle ages. Perhaps the most despicable period at Rome was during the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. Within this period evety heac of a famil; ed his tower or stronghold, in which he defended himself against every oth- er family. There were the Orsial, the Borgias, the Colonna and many other clans whose business it was to fight, slaughter or poison one another. Some of them grew rich through plunder-- there was then no other way--and t enormous palaces, where they with their retainers in princely style. ; During a visit to Rome I occupied a room fm one of these palazzios. The building is very long and bas been cut up into sections by partition walls. Not that there is any ty in these partitions; they occur any and everywhere, and it is not easy to tell which ones were a part of the original Palace and which have been built in since. I was curious about the plie, for though I was then but twenty-five years old I had read much about medi- eval Italy, and I knew the history of the house from its Luilding. It was erected by one of the most villainous of the Roman family' leaders that flourished in the fifteenth century. A number of times his enemies besieged hts palace,-overcame his followers, Dut could never capture him. The fox had means of escape that enabled him to go forth a free man, though every avenue of exit was carefully watched. room was on the second story on a corridor with apartments on el- ther hand and was near one extrem- ity. On the terminal wall was a mural picture. Being interested, as I have said, in the building, I one day questioned the mald who tock care of my room about its' construction. The only in- formation I elicited was that none of the rooms between me and the uur end of the hall was occupied. This may---have been because the summer seasén was coming on, when travelers lady advance from this unoccupied re- gion. Perhaps it was the work of my imagination, perhaps some arrange ment of her costume borrowed from two or three centuries agone, but it seemed to me that the lady belonged to medieval times. There may be an other reason why I should have thas considered her, the fact that I had not For had not the maid told me that none of the rooms from whence she came was occupied? However, I was so struck with the vision of loveliness that swept by me that "whence she came or what's her name" occupied a comparatively small part of my thoughts concerning her. I watched her till she reached the cen- ter of the corridor and passed down the staircase. At that moment the maid came along, with her brooms and bucket, and I asked her about the rooms she had told me were va- cant. She assured me that chey were. Slipping a couple of lira tuto her bands, I asked her to unlock them She opened every door, and there was nothing but the bare furniture in any ene of them. Nor was there any open- ing or steirway leading elsewhere. In other words, the end of the corridor wes a complete pocket. From whence had the lady come? I regretted that I had not followed ber downstairs to see whither she went. It was but 9 o'clock in the morning, and it occurred to me that she might have gone to the cafe on e first foor for breakfast. I went down there, but she was nowhere to be seen. She was in street costume and had doubtless gone out. For several days I spent all my time going about the city, hoping to meet the mysterious lady, visiting every gallery, ruin or subterranean excava- I kept an eye for her in the Palazzio, both in the cafe and other Parts of the building where I would be likely to meet her. at thinking she might have left Rome. Then one evening, the stxircase in the palazzio, I started down the corridor. No lights had yet been lit, and objects were very dim on as before. I was then young, and superstitions that have a greater hold I think on pressed with the belief that the mys- terious lady was one of those who had inhabited the nelazzio sereral centw | 50 Acre Farm For Sale -OR TO RENT. the stiff style that had been in vogue when palazzio was built. My examinations led me to no discovery whatever. When it rains in Rome it rains bard. my room had been removéd and the corridor had been' indefinitely --~ ed. There were a few dim about me, and the corridor in its be io length was lighted by similar ones. Owing to the dimness all this was barely perceptible. Then the erten- sion melted away, and there was only the fll defined space at the end of the corridor to which I had been used. Thinking there must the matter with my eyes, I put a fist against each of them and gave them a prolonged rubbing. When I took was the mysterious lady coming te ward me She smiled as she passed Pos- sibly my sensibilities were much over- t and my imagination exag- gerated everything, but it seemed te me that smile was the sweetest I had. ever seen on a woman's face. Again my superstitious instincts might have determined whether visiom were ghost or flesh and blood by means of touch. But it seemed to me that I had been swung back to medieval times and this woman was moving within the palazzio as she had moved there several centuries before. When she had passed beyond me, in- stead of following ber I crammed my fists again against my eyes to restore a normal sight. When I removed 'em the vision had disappeared. That was the last view I had of the. us lady at the palazsio, In vain I waited for her to appear again, vewing that if she did I would selse her and detain her till I could deter- mine whether she were fiesh and blood. But after several weeks' pa- tient waiting, since she did not ap r nowhere in Rome' was forced to conclude that if she were ao ghost she had been ae seated," pointing to a vacant chair beside her, "and I will tell you all about it" I f&ccepted the invitation, and she continued: "I occupied rooms in the compart- ment next to yours in the palazsie. One who knew every -- and corner, every secret passage, in the building showed me a wall dividing a corridor filled by a mirror. Touching a spring, the wall swung on a pivot, and when "It occurred to me that I would like to astonish some one by passing through this passageway.
