A Woman's
i Vengeance
B BIANCA CAROL!
The I til lin a women of the middle
age were, some of them, as mueii
ivtn to adventure as the men. A bom
the middle of the sixteenth ceutur.i
the Manclul family were prominent
and rich at Venice. A brother aud
slater tu the family were devoted (e
each other, the brother lielng a deli
cute young man given to study rutliei
tbiiu to nruiM. BlHiiea. tils siHter. wiis
unlike him. fond of ninnly spuria mm
constantly regretted thiit she bud not
been boro a man that she might In
dulge In them without restraint, i'os
slbly tlil dlfiHlmilarity la wbut united
the brother find slater. The one was
gentle, refined. Intellectual, the other
onturally aggressive and without uiueli
mental cultivation.
Nevertheless Blanca possessed a fall
face and figure and had a number ol
suitors. Among them was Leonardo
Donndlo. a iiuiu with a bad reputation
and therefore undesirable. Blanca toitl
him, us she had told uli the others, tu;it
she would not marry because she did
not wish to tie separated from net
brother.
One afternoon, when she was lonng
Ing with the social magna tea, as was
the custom ou St. Mark's square, look
Iiik dowu the Grand cunal she saw a.
gjixlula approaching, nnd vheu ii
came nearer (she recognized her family
colors. The gondola was pulled up
neiir the pillar hearing the winged
lions of St Mark's, and Blanca. undei
a presentiment that something 'bud
gone wrong, went to meet it As the
boat came up, there, lying lu the gon
dola. his cloak red with blood, was the
dead body of her brother. She stood
gazing at it for some moments, para
lyzed. She did not faint; she did not
ory ocL Her tirst words were:
"Who has done this murder?"
"Leonardo Donadlo, slguortna,' re
plied the gondolier. "He met your
brother on the Rialto and said to him.
Tou will not stand long between me
and your sister.' Tbey fought and
your brother fell pierced to the heart
He was no match for that ruffian, who
la the best swordsman In Venice."
Those were queer times, and Donadlo
had a faint hope that even after what
he had done he might still win Blanca.
She was not seen abroad after her
brother's death, and finally it was
learned that she had left Venice
Where she bad gone or what abe bad
gone for was not known.
Six months passed, during which
time nothing waa seen or beard of
Blanca. Douadio, who waa wildly In
lore with her, aeeme4 crazed by be
withdrawal. Had she remained lu
Venice and lasbed him with a torreut
of Invective be could bave borne up
under It, but this vacancy she bad left
Ibla nothlngless, was agonizing. He
but himself up in bis bouse and
would not go out of It
One day while a gondola waa pass
Ing under bis window be beard two
men in It speaking of a young man
wbo had recently arrived from Naples
and had ppeued a fencing academy
As they were passing out of beating
be heard one of them say. "Not even
the skill of Donndlo could prevail i
against him "
This was the only thing tbat con in

sponileiu i - He would iro and see this

tiloi'ked by a young iu2, who
ulaeS beard covered bis whole face
The beard contrasted wltb the mno'i
complexion, which was soft and clear
more like wax than flesh and blood.
"How now, Slgnor Donadlo?" said
the man. ' "Where are you going after
your long Rtay shut up In your home?"
Donndlo. thinking the man some one
be bad met, but forgotten, told bliu
that be was going to a new fencing
school be bad heard bad been opened.
"You do not need to go there to meel
the new fencing master, lie stands
before yon."
Puttingoff the beard, the stranger
displayed the' features of Blnnca Man
clnl. Donndlo recoiled, for with the
other hand Blnnen drew her rapier.
"You got rid of what you considered
the only bnrrler between you and me
my brother. Tou now see another bnr
rter, myself, which you are to dtsiose
of In the same way. I have been edu
cated under the best masters of the art
ot fencing In Rome and Naples. Draw!
I .returned to meet you, but since yon
never left your borne 1 - have been
obliged to draw you out by stratagem
Donadlo could not go aside not
ttrnigbt ahead, the passage being
blocked Thinking to dominate tbe wo
man. be drew his sword, resolving to
Isarm ber first grid talk wltb ber aft
erward. He was soon astonished a
the skill wltb which she parried bin
thrusts She did not at once assume
the offensive, evidently feeling a vin
dictive relish In playing with htm:
Then suddenly she began to press him
With rapid and well executed thrusts.
Ddnadto. who had not handled a sword
since he had killed ber brother, found
Himself no match for this fury, whose
Wade glittering before blm dazzled htm
Then be felt the cold steel In his side,
aud as be fell be was stabbed again
nd again. The last picture tbat faded
from his craze was one of vengeance -the
face of the woman he loved
Diok.nt' Den.
Dickens' cere for bis material sur
roundings did not end with bis bed
room. His favorite writing place at
Gadsbill waa a Swlaa chalet tn the
shrubbery, and this be fitted op In a
most Ingenious fashion. "I have put
mirrors In the chalet where 1 write,"
he aaya In one of bis letters, "and tbey
reflect and refract In all klnda of ways
the leavea tbat are quivering at the
windows and the great fields of wav
ing corn and the sail dotted river. My
room la op among the branches of the
trees, and the birds and tbe butterflies
fly in and out, and the green branches
shoot la at the open windows, and the
Hghta and the shadows of the clouds
com and go with the rest of the com
pany. The scent of the flowera and
Indeed of everything that la growing
for miles and miles la moat delicious."
London Chronicle.
. Judging the Colt
The Arabs bave two methods of esti
mating the height to which a colt will
grow, the first being to stretch a cord
from tbe nostril over the ears and
down along the neck and compare this
measurement with that from the with
ers to the feet and tbe other method
being to compare the distance between
the knee and tbe withers with tbat
from the knee to the coronet In the
first method It la considered that a
colt will grow as much taller as the
first measurement exceeds tbat of the
second, and In tbe second method. If
the proportion Is as two to one, the
horse will grow no taller.
Pedestrians.
A teacher In a primary school waa
endeavoring to make clear to her elaea
the meaning of the words "equestrian
lam" and "pedestrlanlsm" when ahe
put this query to one small boy:
"What is a pedestrian?"
"He la one of tboee fellows," said
the boy. "wbo makea an awful kick
when an automobile runs him down."
