American book collecting million
aires are rapidly denuding this coun
try of her oldest and most precious
volumes. Two yenrs ago the great
Shakespearean collection formed by
Mr. Hulllwell-rhlllliis. the biographer
of the bard, passed into the possession
of Martin J. Perry, of Jlhodc Island.
A short time ngo the most extensive
collection of works from which Shakes
peare is believed to have drawn inspira
tion for many of IiIh plays, or in which
references were made to him, ever got
together met with n similar fate. They
were nctually catalogued for sale by
the open market, but the deep-pursed
collector from America stepped in and
made an offer for the collection en bloc,
which proved irresistible. And now one
of the choicest libraries In the hands
of n private KnglUh collector has been
transferred to the Ui.lted States. The
late James Toovey, of Piccadilly, was
on enthusiastic yet judicious biblio
phile, whose particular hobby may be
ha Id to have been productions of the
early English printers. If is library was
particularly rich in these works, two
of the greatest treasures being n fine
copy of the extremely mre "Itokc of
St. Albans," and the magnificent speci
men of the first folio Shakespeare which
at one time belonged to Sirltobert Sid
ney, curl of Ileestcr. All these works,
together with the many splendid ex
amples of bindings by the most eminent
masters of France, Italy and Kngland,
which found a place in the library, lKive
been sold to a wealthy American by
C. J. Toovey. The price paid for the ac
quisition is said to run well into five
figures.

ten crowns, the best of three (lights, and
the wager was taken. Never, indeed, had
known him so cordial. I did not luc the
man. but for his wife's sake was friendly to
him. Of a truth, there were few of the
youngsters in Trcmouille's camp who wci-j
not in love with her. and some of us older
fellows too, though we hid our feelings let

been kind to me after the affair of San
Miniato, when a Florentine pike somehow
found its way through my breastplate. In
deed, I may say I owed my recovery to her
nursing. In return I had been of some serv
ice to her in the retreat up the valley of the
Taro, after Fornovo she called it saving her
life. In this manner a friendship sprang up
between us which was increased by the oih
poitunities we had of meeting whilst the
army lay inactive before Arezzo. Long years
of camp life made mo fully appreciate the
society of a woman, remarkable alike for
her beauty and her talent; and she, on the
other hind, felt for me, I was sure, only
that friendship which it is possible for a
good woman to hold for a man who is not
btr husband.

few, for D'Entrangucs was what all men
knew him to be. Finding that I could be of

1 have said, friendly to him. Perhaps my
course of action was not prudent; but who
Is there amongst us who is always guided by
the head I At any rate, I expiated my fault,
and paid the price of my folly to the end of
the measure.
Aa x sat in the now silent supper-room
with the man s words buzzing in my ears, a
curious recollection o a scene that oc
curred about a month ago came back to me.
Madame and I had overridden ourselves
hawking, and I had dismounted at her re
quest and gathered for her a posy of yellow
coronilla and scarlet amaryllis. This, in her
quick, implusive way. she held to her hus
band's face when we met him, a half league
or so on our way back, saying: eee what
lovely flowers Di Sareili has given mc!" lie
snatched them from her hand, and fltinii
them under his horse with an oath, adding
something which I did not catch, Madame
flushed crimson, and the incident ended
there, for 1 did not care to press the matter.
It all came back to me now, in the oddest
manner, aa I sat staring at D hntrangues.
lie had come In late to the supper, and,
after greeting D'Alegres, sliped into the
seat opposite me in silence. Across him
two men were discussing a series of thefts
that had recently disturbed u.. '1 hey were
not common thefts, such ss arc ot daily oc
currence in a military camp; but were the
work of some one both daring and enter
f iriiing. Even then the matter would not
i4ve attracted the attention It did but for
the lots of a ruby circlet by Ducheta de la
Tremouille, which, besides Its intrinsic,
value, was the gift of a king. Mine, de la
Tremouille mads an outcry, and the duk
as the matter touched him, was leaving no
atone unturned to lind tho tliicf. It had
come to It that every robbery in the ramp
was put down to this same Imlit-Iinnered
gentleman; and Visconli, one of the two men
who were discussing the question, was loud
ly lamenting the loss of a rare medallion of
which he had just been relieved. Through
out their conversation D'Entrnngues,
though once or twice addressed, spoke no
word, but maintained u moody silence.
When the wino was circling round I, beini
warmed, and wishing to stand well with the
husband of madame made some rallying al
lusion to our match for the morrow, snd
offered to drink to him. Ilia reply is known,
The silence which followed his speech was
so utter that one may have heard a feather
fail ; and then some one, I khow not who,
laughed shortly. Ibe sound brought me to
myself, and in fury, hardly knowing what
I T7ss doing. 1 jumped un ami drew my doi-
err, but was inatantly seized by (,'olomiaand
Ilawkwood. The latter was a man of great
size, and between him and Colonoa I was
helpless.

ind bis voice was kind, "this Is not sn affair
to be settled with a poniard thrust."

crowding around us; D'Entrangucs half

"A thief 1 Di Satelli!" called out a dozen
voices, and Ives d'Alegrcs said: "Impos

"So more, sir, than you, or anyone of Us

mad when I hot knew nf it, for this man

who the culprit was. I made no aign, but

other prize to me, for I know not how to pay

There was a little laugh at Hawkwood's
moan, but it soon stilled, and, one by one,
each man stated his latest loss.
"Gentlmen, you interrupt M. D'Entran
gucs. Let us end this painful scene."
"There is but one thing more, sir. I aak
you now to have this" D'Entrangucs indi
cated me with an insolent look "this per

Whilst he was speaking, D'Aleic gave a
whispered order to a young officer, who left
the room immediately, although with a
somewhat discontented air at being sent
away. As D'Entrangucs finished, the door
was opened, a couple of files of Swiss in
fantry entered, and with them Uraccio For
tcbraccio, our provost-marshal. At a sign
from D'Alegres one of the files surrounded
mc, the other D'Entrangucs, and Uraccio
called out in a loud voice: I go di Sareili,
