There Vwu a Jolt of the shabby day noaeh; the little Itallun's eye burst Open and he glanced fearfully from pue to the other of hit drowsy com ,Ianlon, their shops off, each with h) few belonging tied In his over alls anil dposlted carefully within Bluht.

I.Ike a child w mused by a plaything, he rubbed Ma thumb over the rough edge and PHUght his reflection In the gold. i leaning hlM elbow on the window ledge, he looked through tin pane, reflectively caressing the band with bis lips. ",. ' "Carlotta, Carlotta, he "Murmured to the ring, and then a Ion ring little mile crept Into the corners of his leyea and lips' and fixed hla star even more far awajr. Soon the monotony pt the journey and the thought run (tdng ever In a circle overcame him, una lie uroppea over onto 1191 rog shoulder, his mouth open and elo quent. . Thres year he had searched for Carlotta In the great America; three rear he had looked for little Car- lott.i. with whom ha had split the Moldan band, and who now wore her bait -with the rough . edges that matched his. Need had fumed him to take up the shovel and give up the search; yet always is he worked ha VS'anned the face of each passer-by. And now he was returning to New York under the supervision of a boss who treated his gang a cattle, and had made the transportation rate with the company that was now car rying theiri a closely packed as poul try. ' Toward evening a stir among the mn awakened Guldo Glunnlotta. He smiled dreamily as Metro shook him and Jabbered lightning words into hi drowsy ear. By dint of much shak ing the companion finally aroused hlin, and Imparted the intelligence that they were entering New York. New York meant much to' Guldo, and he bad taken the flint opportuni ty to go back. It was there that he could mix with his countrymen, through whom he hoped to hear again of his Carlotta. Besides, the grent American painter had induced her to go to New York to earn her living as a model, and probably she was still there. The ferry wa Just leaving when Olanalotta looked quickly back to the shore and lurched toward the edge to make out the face of a brightly clad figure stundlng on the pier. "Nah; notta Carlotta," he sighed, turning back. Immediately on arriving he and Pletro took rooms In an Italian lodging-house. There he loafed for a week, living on the hoard in his worn leather wallet that he carried beside his knife. Everywhere he Inquired for news of his Curlottu, but nothing had been learned since he left. Oils night Pletro rushed home from work with the new thut he had heard of the girl. Eagerly unfolding; a New York foreign paper, he shook It be fore Guldo'. longing eye, and showed him where mention was made of the model. Dashing off to the newspaper ofi flee, Olanalotta found the man who had written the article, and from him learned the long-sought address. Slicking hi hair1 down with grease and wrapping a resplendent hand kerchief of red silk around his neck, Guldo set out alone. Love quickened his steps, and soon he was ringing the bell at her little apartment. "Guldo!" she cried, opening the door and staring at him blankly. "Carlotta," he beamed unsteadily, returning her look of surprise for she had changed, and was no longer hi simple little Italian las. Her gown wa of American cut Her hair was not parted lmply in the middle, a It once had been. All of her former beauty wa there, but changed sadly , changed, thought Olanalotta a he looked at her. Her manner, too," was different, and the man stood embarrassed before her, showing himself to poor advan tage. "Da reeng?" he queried, as they seated themselves In her room; and he looked at a flashy new band she wore In place of the betrothal ring. "Oh, eet ee too plain," objected the girl, flushing slightly. "Den you no love me more?" "Nah, you not ondrastan', Guldo; eet ees deefrunt counterle." "Ke love deefrunt?" asked the man, with a catch In his voice. "Kt ee not ame, 'Alericuu mak' deefrunt love. Dey not hot like Ketallan; cool; taka time mooch time." - ' . . "But I not 'Mertcan," ilched Guldo. "l love, an' t would marry." "But you moost wait, Guldo," the . girl answered. She had told .him that he might call tomorrow at the studio where she was working and take her to an Italian restaurant. Guldo went. As he entered the room he saw her again ' as his old sweetheart. Her hair was parted In the middle, and she wore a simple Italian costume that caused the little man's heart to beat madly. At dinner she appeared once more In her new American role, and fur- ther tantalized the man by putting him off and treating hi great pas sion lightly, as she had learned to do from the artist. The next time he saw her she was walking with a man. Guldo followed, . (and saw her smile at the American and act In the new strange way. It maddened him. He pressed hi long thin knife, and his eye snapped. "- At a corner the pair turned and saw him. The girl gave him a smile. He flared up suddenly as he saw th 'American escort make a motion In his direction, and the couple went . on, laughing at his expense, he felt. Her tantalizing manner . finally caused him to pour out hi heart to the sympathetic' Pletro. Pletro had been in America for ten years; ha knew the people and their way. He and Guldo. talked long that night, and it was with a new determine tion that, the man awoke In the morn ing, dressed caaefully, and haunted the studio where Bhe had been. But all day she did not come, and Cuido wondered mightily. At night he went again to her room. She ereeted him cordially, and listened to his passionate pleading with' a look that encouraged the little fellow. "But, Guldo," she cried, springing up suddenly, "you moost go. Da 'Merlcan ees tak me to theater to night." ' "Nah, I tak you," Olanalotta spoke out hotly. "Ees eet not me dat you love?" "But but, Guldo, In dees counterle eet ees all deefrunt. He ask me go, an 1 moost." Olanalotta hung his head. Jealousy stirred his fiery heart. He could not understand why she put him off. It was not the way In Italy. He must , know whether or not she would mar ry him. Suddenly he remembered Pletro' advice, . but in spite of it he blurted out: "Den you no love me?" "Eet ees not time yet to say," In sisted the girl. "You moost go. He will come, an' he moost net see you." Without another word, Guldo started for the door. "See!" Carlotta called after him. holding up her half of the ring, "I l:af not forgot everytheeng." Olanalotta started back Impulsive ly, but she darted Into another room and closed the door. t. . '"Merlcan man!" ejaculated Guldo, walking blindly through the ws . "Eet ees heem dat she gat fool no . tlcn from. I feex heem." Hi lips, parting In a vicious grin, shewed his - gleaming teeth as he strode down the corridor. Angering . his knife and growi!n Inwardly. A sudden light st;p can.e up the stairs. With a suppressed hiss, Guldo shrank into a shadow and waited, a cruol ... glint of aroused Jealousy ir. hla pas sionate eyes. Carlotta laughed in her mirror, and .. slipped on the 3pllt rlnjr .tenderly just as her love darted ints the shad ow to await Jhe approaching steps, -Suddenly her. ears became attentive. She made out the. sound of a acuffle In th hall. Her eyes flashing, her lips pressed in a firm line, nln sprain? to the door, threw It open, and Btood for a moment in the. doorway. Her form swayed, and suddsnly she grasped the door for support as the. sound of a falling body reached her terrllled ears. Recovering herself slowly, she wa about to dart toward the noise when ' Guldo slipped through the doorway and dropped at her knees. "You keel! You keel heem! Ah, Guldo, why you not tell me eet hurt so bad?" . "You love me. den?" cried the man. "Ah, Guldo!" She pressed her shamed face against his. . "Den yriiy you not tell' me before eet ces too late?" ."Eet was wrong. I not 'Merlcan: I Eetaly grlrt. I love like dees," and she drew the man to her madly, sob- bine hysterically. "But but, Carlotta, eel ees too ' late. . I keel mesclf. too,", cried Guldo, making ready to strike with the bare knlfo In his trembling hand. There- was a piercing scream, and ohe wrestled with him for possession of the Unite. Securing it by .a sud den twist, she threw it through th window and fainted In his arms.

The Dwells on Dangers of Overeating . By Samuel O. Dixon, Pennsylvania Commissioner of Health. The children of the Iriquois Indians it is said, were trained to eat frugally and taught that overeating was far worse than under-eating. They were warned that gluttons would be'eaught by a monster known as Sagodakwus, who would humiliate them in a most terrible manner if he found that they were gourmnnde.
