My great-grandparents lived nt Leghorn, nnd my mother was tholr eldost and favbrlto grandchild. From all alio told mo herself I deduco that they spoiled her. I never know either of my grandmothers, and 1 have always regretted It deeply, be cause I think that, had they lived, thero would havo boon somo ono In the world to pot and Bpoll me. My great-grandparents wore wealthy, though thoy lived In slmpls style. My great-grandmother was an unusually economical woman, for Italians aro not as a rulo model housekeepers; but sho was ns thrifty as a Now Englandor farmer's wife. Part of tho year thoy spent on a large estate, where my mothor would remain with them for months. That wn9 tho happiest tlmo of her life. Her grandmother excused In her what soon grow big, and then what will I It was well knowa that my great- some people COn8,. vni, .in?"

He was afraid of what might bo said whon thoy reached the house with a new pot, after It had been distinctly understood that such a thing would never happen again. He tried to gain time, and persuaded my mother not to take the lamb In at once, but to let him tako it down to the vault, where ho was to dopoalt some money several peasants had paid for rent. My groat-grandfather's villa was very old; in fact, it came near being a castle. Tiioro wero suusterranonn passages and vaults, and In ono of theso my great-grandfather had a safe in which ho used to keep tho money paid by tho tenants. Some times considerable sums were locked away there. they distinctly heard tho moaning of tho mother and tho walling of tno child whoso spirits they knew haunt ed tho spot. After a llttlo while tholr courage returned, and they went back. As their steps ncared the door, the wall ing of the child could bo heard again, and they went nwny. Yet oven this time the braver ones thought It mere nonsense. Dut when thoy tried It tho third time, and again began working on tho door, the weird walling wns heard eo dltslnctly that the men dropped their tools and fled. Next morning, when my great grandfather came to get the lamb, ho found tho tools of tho robbers, and a Jnckot which ono of them had And Tell Our Knslmi Friends AM About tho .Superior Opportuni ties W l'OKNOSI, -o- .ItiHt the Hnmo.

Somotlmos ho got Into trouulo by doing so, for my mother wns as fond of animals as she was of dolls, and pots tntroduco Into u household an element of disorder of whloh my groat-grandmotur sincere ly disapproved. Dut though slid would reproach my groat-grand-fathor for having allowed somo stray cat or dog to bo brought homo, MU sho did not doprlvo hor little grand daughtor of tho newly acquired treas ure. Onco hfcr grandfather took my mothor with him on n visit to one of tho peasant houses that belonged to him, Tho Bhophcrds had just come down from tho mountains with largo (locks of sueep, and tho natural re sult of this was that my mother asked for a llttlo lamb. "Oh, Harriet," said her grand father, "what will your grandnianm say? You'll want to havo the lamb in the house, and you know that she will scold, Besides, the lamb will My left It for tho sight. You cannot, of course, havo an old houso with vaults aud subterranean passages without having a ghost; and In fact, a well-developed ghost was said to Inhabit those promlsos. Tho story connoctod with It was duly harrowing. Thoy said that many years ago a woman nnd hor baby had been burlod alive there, and that ou certain night tho moaning of tho mother and tho walling of tho child could bo distinctly heard. Of courso tho family did uot bollovo It, but the peasants did. My. mother and hor grandfather arrived at the villa at night, nnd, with tho oxcuse of taking down the money, thoy took tho lamb to one of tho x-aults, waiting till morning to Introduce It to my great-grandmoth er, and hoping that by that tlmo some way might bo found to mitigate her wrath, My mother took down a soft pleco of cloth and a saucer with bread and milk. She fed the lamb as best sho could with a spoon, then cot red It up carefully, and reluctant- dropped In his flight. It served to Identify tho criminals, who wore not professionals, but poor, misguided peasants living on tho estate. They confossod at onco, saying that tho ghost had warned them to give up' tholr undertaking, and they describ ed minutely how thoy had beon ablo to distinguish between tho moanlne of the mothor and tho wailing of tho child. Now, my groat-grandfather was a vory astute man. Ho nevor told that they had hoard only the lamb bleat ing whon It heard their footsteps, yearning perhaps for the shopherd wno would put It back Into the fold. The well-established fact that tho ghost had been heard (and after a while, tf course, it was said that it was actually seen by xhe men who attempted to break in) proved a pow erful safeguard. It also made It easlor for my great-grandfather to tell his lfe how the lamb had savd them from being robbed.
