He saw all these an tiquities and uiuny more, but they were of small importance compared with something else he saw, not au antiquity by any means: on the con trary, very young and tender. It was an Italian girl with a pair of black eyes, a long, thick rope of hair hanging down her back aud a figure that rival ed the famous Venus di' Medici's in Florence. Llta Caracola spoke and understood Just enough of English to enable War beck to make love to her, which is not saying much, for there may be inoro love expressed in one look than in a thousand words. Slgnoriua Llta Cara cola's father was poor in funds, but rich in blood, for he claimed descent from Marcus Tullius Cicero, who shook Home with bis eloquence. Caracola's principal business was sitting on the Piazza Colonuu at a sidewalk cafe drinking liters of Italian wine. Warbeck was obliged to settle 50.000 lire $10.t)0i upon Slgnorina Caracola lief ore being permitted to marry her. which she divided with her father that he might continue to drink wine on the Piazza Colouua. The rest she kept for an emergency. Warbeck was a stran ger to her, aud she was taking a matri monial leap in the dark. Besides this, she was to sail with her husband for a distant country, which was as remote and uncertain to her as It bad been four centuries before to Christopher Columbus on setting out on bis voyage of discovery. . There was a gay wedding In a side street ou the Esqulllne bill, where Si gnor Caracola lived, after which a party of the bride's friends accompanied her to the railway station, where she and her husband took a train for Naples, and the next evening a ship sailed over the beautiful hay of the same name, like a white bird, bearing the happy couple, bnppy in their love, though lit tle Llta wept at leaving ber beloved Italy. In three days the ship stopped at Gibraltar. The bride was laid up with a headache and kept ber stateroom, while the groom went ashore to visit the famous rock. Palling in with a British army officer whom he bad met before, be was introduced at the club, lunched, dmnk several bottle of cham pagne and fell asleep on a lounge. The steamer passed oat to sea through the strait, aud Signora War berk was surprised that ber husband did not come to their stateroom to see ber. Finally she called the room stew ard and asked htm to find Mr. War beck nd tell him bis wife would like to see him. Tbe steward bunted the sbli through, but did not And the gen tleman. After a dlligotit search It be came evident that be was not aboard Signora Warbeck's worst fears that abe bad entertained before her mar riage were realized. An American bad married ber and deserted her at the flret stop made by the ship. She kept her room for the rest of the voyage, holding tight ber share of the money that had been settled on ber that she might return to Itome the moment she reached New York. After Inquiry she learned that a steamer tailed for Italy tbe day abe would arrive In America, and by wireless telegraph she engaged passage for Naples. When Mr. Warbeck awoke In tbe Officers' clnb at Gibraltar and through a window taw the moon peacefully shining down on him he was seized f At-DITOIUVM, KATHTEB ATD XT If"' PRINCESS FAU.WM. FRIDAY FEATURING with horror, for lie knew that tbe steamer bearing his bride was well out at sea. No steamer for New York was due for three days, I ut when it came be boarded it. After passing ten wor rying days he reached port, but not his bride. Why should be? Thinking that be had deserted her, she took no pains to discover bis American connec tions. Sue simply sailed for Italy the same dny she arrived In New York. Warbeck was in agony. To have bis beloved bride landed without a pro tector on a shore foreign to ber and no means of tracing ber was excruciat ing. The only comfort he bad was the $5,000 she had with ber. tie cabled to her father to report the misfortune and ask If Llta had communicated with blm. Llta had done nothing of the kind. In a month after her departure the bride turned up In Rome. The matter of ber husband's apparent desertion having been explained to Signor Cara cola. be sent bis daughter back on a steamer sailing the next day, cabling Warbeckof her departure. When tbe rablegram reached tbe groom's office be was sailing along the Long Island coast bound for Italy. Thinking bis wife might have returned to ber home, be had searched tbe passenger lists of outgoing steamers and found ber name. Signor Caracola's cablegram was re peated by wireless to Warbeck, who sent a wireless message to Gibraltar to stop his wife there. On bis arrival he found ber, and great was tbe hap piness of this reunited bridal couple. They took the next steamer for Amer ica, both having crossed and recrossed the Atlantic since they had been at Gibraltar before. At Madeira Warbeck proposed to go ashore. "No, no." said bis wife; "I do not wish for you to desert me another time." The young husband gave a sickly smile. Since then she has never per mitted him to leave a train when they travel together. TENT COLONY FOR STRIKERS. Cotton Operatives of Atlanta Follow Tactics of Mine Workers. Tbe striking operatives of the Ful ton bag and cotton mills of Atlanta have erected 250 tents on a hill near the mills. This marks tbe first time In the history of labor strife that tex tile workers have followed tbe tactics of the miners and gone Into "tent war fare." This action was decided on upon the arrival of John Golden, national presi dent of tbe Textile Workers of Amer ica. The national association has taken over full charge of tbe strike, aud tbe local unions are thereby re lieved of responsibility. Two hundred and forty-seven families already oc cupy tbe tent colony. The strike has been going on now for over three months at a cost of $1,400 a week, or $ 10.80a Tbe tent method Is calculated to greatly de crease this expense. Fnnds are being made up for the Atlanta strikers at union meetings over tbe east and west. Convicts and Good Reads. Tbe Idea that tbe convicts can be employed building roads In the differ ent states without coming Into Injur! ous competition with free labor Is gaining ground. In every state there is a call for more good roads beyond the amount people are willing to pay In taxes, ao that whatever amount of road the convicts might build would not materially tffect tbe amount of road building now done from tbe tax levy, bnt will be, on tbe other band. Just so much addition to good roads. In many of the states tbla work would continue nearly all the year round, while In others the season daring which such operations would be lm practical would be not more than two to three months.

GERMANS CRAMPED IN SUB-GROUND TRENCHES London, Sept. SO. A picture of the suffering of German troops cramped in miles of underground trenches and passages Is drawn by the Mail's cor respondent. If the men step from the trenches to the level ground they do so at the risk of their lives. At the time of an expected attack from the allies every German must be at his post in the narrow ditch. The nerves of the sentries are sorely tried. They mis take the most innocent sounds for French Infantry creeping up. When a sentry tricked by his nerves, fire his rifle he brings the whole advanced post up at double quick and they And there has been a false alarm. The trench system is most elaborate, constitutes a whole subterranean town with main thoroughfares, side streets and telephone wires running 11 along.
