WNU Servlc* CHAPTERI IV—Continued —11— And now the fire In his eyes was not simulated. “It is Impossible that you should not scorn my love,” said he. “Scorn It? I? I who have awak ened It—I who have desired It?” “Desired It?” he echoed, almost in a whisper. “Desired It?” For a spell they stobd so, staring each into the other’s eyes; then they fell Into each other’s arms, she sob bing In her extreme joy, and he upon the verge of doing no less, for, as you will perceive. It had been a very try ing morning for him. And it was thus—the Lady of San Leo and the Borgia captain clasped heart to heart under the summer sky —that Messer Tolentino found them. Marveling at the long delay, the castellan had thought It well to go after them. And what he now beheld struck him ,to stone, left him gaping like a foolish Image. They fell apart for .very decency, and then the lady, rosily confused, presented Messer Lorenzo to the cas tellan as her future lord, and ex plained to him In confidence—and as she understood It—the true reason of that gentleman’s visit to San Leo. Thereafter, Messer Lorenzo was cared for as become a man of his position. A bath was prepared for him; fresh garments were found to fit him, the richest and most becom ing being selected; the garrison was disappointed of Its execution, and tlje Borgia captain went to dine, at Ma donna’s table. For this banquet the choicest viands that the besieged com manded were forthcoming, and the rarest wines from Floravan^l’s cellar were procured. In all Italy there was no happier man In that hour than Lorenzo Cas- trpcaro, who, from the very edge of death, saw himself suddenly thrust up to the highest and best that he could have dared to ask of life. His happiness entirely engrossed his mind awhile. All else was forgotten. But suddenly, quite “ suddenly, ^ rdlnem- brance flootled back upon him and left him cold with horror. He had been midway through his second song, Madonna languishing beside him, and he checked abruptly. The lute fell clattering from his grasp, which had suddenly grown nerveless. With a startled cry his mistress leaned over him. “Enzo! Are you 111?” He rose precipitately. “No, no; not ill. But—oh!” He clenched his hands and groaned. She too had risen, all sweet solici tude, demanding to know what ailed him. He turned to her a face that whs blank with despair. “W’hat have I done? What have I done?” he cried, thereby increasing her alarm. It crossed her mind that perhaps the effect of the magician’s philter was beginning to wane. Fearfully, urgently she Insisted upon knowing what might be alarming him; and.he, seeing himself forced to explain, paused but an instant to choose a middle course in words, to find ex pressions that would not betray him. “Why, It Is this,” he cried, and there was real chagrin In his voice as there was In his heart. “In my hot madness to come hither, I never paused to count the cost. I am a Bor gia captain, and at this moment no better than a traitor, a deserter who has abandoned his trust and his con- dotta to go over to the enemy—to sit here and take my ease in the very castle that my duke Is now besieging. “By heaven, it had been a thousand 'times better had Tolentino made an end of me Uils morning as he Intend ed !” Then he checked abruptly, and turned to her penitently. “Ah, no, no! I meant not that, Madonna! I spoke without reflecting. I were an Ingrate to desire that—an Ingrate and a fool. For had they killed me I had never known this day of happiness.” ' “Yet what Is to be done?” she cried, crushing her hands together in her agony of mind. “What is to be done, my Enzo? To let you now depart would no longer save you. Oh, let me think, let me think!” And then, al most at once: “There Is a way I” she cried; and on that cry, which had been one of gladness, she fell sud denly very glooiny and thoughtful. "What way?” quoth he. “I fear It Is the only way,” she said never so wistfully. And then he guessed what was In her mlirt and repudiated the sugges tion. “Ah! Not that,” he ' protested. “That way we must not” think of. I could not let you—not even to save my -life.” But on the word she looked up at him and her dark eye kindled anew with loving eutbuslasm. ^ “To save your life—yes. That Is cause enough to Justify me. For noth ing less would i do it, Enzo; but to save you—you whom I have brought Into this pass—” '• "What are you saying, cried. "Why, that the fault Is mine, and that I must pay the penalty.” "The fault?” “Did I not bring yon hither?” ' He flushed, something 111 at ease to see—as he supposed—his lie recoiling BOW upon him. * "Listen!” she pursued. “You shall do as I bid you. You shall igo as my envoy to Cesare Borgia, and you shall offer him the surrender of San Leo In my name, stipulating only for the honors of war and the safe-con duct of my garrison.” "No, no!” he protested still, and honestly, his villainy grown repug nant. “Besides, how shall that serve me?” “You shall say that yon knew a way to win into San Leo and accom plish this—which,” she added, smil ing wistfully, “Is, after all. the truth. The duke will be too well con tent with the result to quarrel with the means employed.” He averted his face. “Oh! But it Is shameful!” he cried out, and meant not what she sup posed him to mean. “In a few days—In a few weeks, at most—It will bedome Inevitable,” she reminded him. “After all, what do I sacrifice?' A little pride, no more than that. And shall that weigh against your life with me? Better surrender now, when I have some thing to gain from surrender, than later, when I shall have all to lose.” He considered. Indeed, It was the only way. And, after all, he was rob bing her of nothing that she must not yield In time—of nothing, after all, that It might not be his to restore her very soon. In part at least. “Be It so, my Blanca,” he said; "but upon terms more generous than you “It Is Impossible That You Should Not Scorn My Love," Said He. have named. You shall not quit your dwelling here. Let your garrison de part, but you remain!” “How is that possible?” she asked. “It shall be,” he assured her confi dently, the promised governorship in his mind. CHAPTER V That evening, with letters appoint ing him her plenipotentiary, he rode out of San Leo alone, and made his way down into the valley by the bridle path. At the foot of this he came upon Della Volpe’s pickets, who bore him off to their captain, refusing to believe his statement that he was Lorenzo Castrocaro. When Della Volpe beheld him the warrior’s single eye expressed at once suspicion and satisfaction. “Where have you been?” he de manded harshly. “In San Leo, yonder,” answered Cas trocaro simply. Della Volpe swore picturesquely, “We had accounted you dead. My men have been 'searching for your body all day at the foot of the rock." “I deplore your disappointment and the wasted labor,” said Lorenzo, smil ing ; and Della Volpe swore aga^. “How came you to fail, and, having failed, how come you out alive?” “I have not failed,” was the answer. "I am riding to the duke with the gar rison’s terms of capitulation.” Della Volpe very rudely refused to believe him, whereupon Messer Lor enzo thrust under the condottlero’s single eye Madonna Blanca’s letters. At that the veteran sneered unpleas antly. “Ha 1 By the horns of Satan I I see! You ever had a way with the women, Lorenzo. I see!” “For a one-eyed man you see too much,” said Messer Lorenzo, and turned away. “We will speak of this again—when I am wed. Good night!” It was very late when he reached Urbino. But late as It was—long after mldnlaht—the duke was not abed. In deed, Cesare Borgia never seemed to sleep. At any hour of the day or flight he was to be found by those whose business was of Import His highness was working In the library with Agabito, preparing dis patches for Borne, when Messer Lor enzo was ushered Into his presence.' He looked up as the young' captain entered. “Well," quoth he sharply. “Do your bring me news of the capture of San Leo?” “Not exactly, highness,” replied the cendottlero. “But 1 bring ypu a pro- poeal of sinrc^^, and tlie artldM M capitulation. It your hlgbneae^wlll sign tbem^ I aliall take possession of San Leo fit your name tomorrow.” '' The duke’s fine eyes wanned the confident young face very searcbingly. He smiled quietly. “You will take possession?” he said. “As the governor appointed by your highness,” Meaner Lorenzo blandly ex plained. He laid his letters before the Duke, who scanned them with- a swift eye, then tossed them to Agabito that the latter might con them more minutely. “There is a provision that the Lady Blanca de Fioravantl is to remain in San Leo,” said the secretary, mar* veling. “Why that?” quoth Cesare of Messer Lorenzo. “Why, indeed, any condi tions?” “Matters have put on a curious com plexion," the condottiero expounded. Things went not so smoothly with me as I had hoped. I will spare your highness the details; but, In "Short, I was caught within the castle walls, and—and I had to make the best terms I could under such circumstances.” “You do not, I trust, account them disadvantageous to yourself?” said Cesare. “It would distress me that It should be so. But I cannot think It; for Madonna Bianca Is accounted very beautiful.” Castrocaro crimsoned in his sudden and extreme confusion. For once he was entirely out of countenance. "You are Informed of the circum stances, highness?” was all that he could say. Cesare’s laugh was short and almost contemptuous. “I am something of a seer,” he re plied. ‘T could have foretold this end ere ever you set out. You have done well,” he added, “and the governor ship Is yours. See to It at once, Aga bito. Ser Lorqpzo will be in haste to return to Madonna Bianca.” A half-hour later, after the bewil dered yet happy Castrocaro had de parted to ride north again. Cesare rose from his writing table, yawned, and smiled at the secretary, who , had his confidence and affection. “And so, San Leo, that might have held out for a year, Is won,” he said, and softly rubbed his- hands In satis faction. “This Castrocaro thinks iNs all his own achievement. The lady Imagines that it Is all her own—by the aid of that charlatan Trlsmeglstus. Neither dreams that all has fallen out as I had Intended, and by my con triving.” He made philosophy for the benefit of Messer Agabito: “Who would achieve greatness must learn not only to use men, but to use them In such a manner that they never suspect they are being used. Had I not chanced to overhear what I overheard that night at the house of Corvlnus Trlsmeglstus, and, knowing what I knew, set the human pieces in this game In motion to yield me this result, matters might have heed different In deed, and lives would have been lost ere San Leo thr^ up its gates. And 1 have seen that the wizard’s elixir of love should do precisely he promised for tt.” Madonna Blanca, at least, believes In that Impostor.” “You had foreseen this, highness, when you sent Castrocaro on that dan gerous errand?” Agabito ventured to Inquire. “What else? Where should I have found a man for whom the matter was less dangerous? He did not know that Madonna Blanca was there. I had the foresight to keep that matter secret. I sent him, confident that, should he fall to open the gates to Della Volpe and be taken, he was crafty enough not to betray himself, and Madonna must, of course, assume that it was her love-philter had brought him . to her irresistibly. Could she have hanged him, knowing that? Could she have done other than she has done? “Indeed;- Corvlnus has served you well.” “So well that he shall have his life. The precious poison has failed to kill him, and this Is the sixteenth day. ’ The duke laughed shortly, and tlirust his thumbs Into the girdle of his robe, which was of cloth of gold, reversed with ermine. “Give the order for his release tomorrow, Agabito. But bid them keep me his tongue and his right hand as remembrances. Thus he will never write or speak another lie.” * • • • • * • San Leo capitulated on the morrow. Tolentino and his men rode out with the honors of war, lance on thigh, the captain very surly at the affair, which he contemptuously admitted passed his understanding. Into the fortress came then Messer Lorenzo Castrocaro at the head of a troop of his own men, to lay his gov ernorship at the feet of Madonna Blanca. They were married that very day In the chapel of the fortress, and al though It was som> years before each made to the other the confession of the 'deceit which each had practiced, the surviving evidence all shows—and to the moralists this may seem de plorable—that they were none the less happy In the meantime.

PRIMARY TOPIO-Favorlte Stories et the Quarter. JUNIOR TOPIC—Stories ef the Lead ers of Israel. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP ICS—Striking Incidents of the Quarter. TQUNQ PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP- j IC—The Main Teachings of the Quar ter. ! It Is strange that the lesson com mittee should have selected the title ; “Early Leaders of Israel" when only j Moses appears. A better title would . have been "Moses, the Leader of Israel.” In such a case consideration should be given to Moses* life, char acter and teaching. Indeed, a good method of review would be to use this plan for the quarter’s lessons. An other method of review would be to give a synthetic view of the book of Exodus, since all the lessons of the quarter are taken from that book. However, for the senior and adult classes the best method will be to re call Uie principal fact and then state the leading lesson of each Sunday’s lesson ef the quarter. To aid In this, the following suggestions are given: Lesson for July 4. When the time drew nigh for God to deliver His chosen people He caused them to multiply greatly^ Elnvy and alarm Incited the new king to In stitute measures to check Israel’s In crease. The attempt to carry these measures out not only displayed tbelr futility but brought to be sheltered and nurtured in the king’s palace the very one who later upset Pharaoh’s throne. Lesson for July 11. When Moses was born, his mother perceived that he was a child of destiny. The king’s edict was that every male child should be destroyed, but the faith of his mother moved her to hide him. Whan no longer able to hide him he was preserved In jin ark of bulrushes and taken In charge by Pharaoh’s daughter. At the sugges tion of Miriam, his mother was called as a nurse. He was educated both at his mother’s knee and in the Egyptian courL Lesson for July 18. While Moses was keeping Jethro’s , sheep, God appeared to hlnr In a burn ing bush and commissioned him a de liverer of His people. Moses faltered but God patiently beard and met his difficulties. Lesson for July 25. In memory of the great deliverance of Israel from bondage, the passover was Instituted. All who were under the blood were saved from the de stroying angel. Lesson for August 1. Q^d permitted the Israelites to get Into straitened circumstances after leaving Egjpt, In order to teach them to trust Him and also to lay a snare for the enemy. Lesson for August 8. Before going far into the wilderness the people lusted for the fleshpots of Egypt God answered their murmur- Ings by giving them quails and manna to eat Christ is the true manna sent down from God to man. Those who eat of his bread shall never die. Lesson for August 15. Jethro, seeing Moses completely oc cupied with the Judging of Israel, ad vised that Moses should be to the peo ple Godward and raat all the weightier matters should be cared for by him and that suitable men should be appointed to Judge the smaller mat ters. God’s work should be carefully organized so as to relieve his min isters of unnecessary burdens. Lesson for August 22. To love God with all the heart, soul, strength and mind is the fulflllmeat of the first four commandments qf the Decalogue. . Lesson for August 29. Loving our neighbor as we love our selves Is the fulfillment of the last six commandments of the Decalogue. Supreme love to God and love to our fellowman as we love ourselves Is the sum total of human duty. Lesson for September 5. God through Christ dwells In the midst of His people—Just as He did in the midst of Israel In the taber nacle. Lesson for September 12. In carrying on of God’s work all should offer willingly such gifts j as they have. Lesson for September 19., Disobedience to God's laws always brings calamities, while obedience to God’s law is always accompanied with blessings.
