Being a Romance of Northern Italy }
Half a Century Ago \

J
This Is a true story. It occurred In i
nortbem Italy during the spring of .
1801, when in America the southern .
states, one after another, were leaving (
the I'nlon and wheeling into Confederate
line; when northern men were 1
drilling for a great war and hurrying
forward to occupy those states that
were part loyal to the north and part
ready to Join the southern side.
In the land where the story was enacted
n crisis that was to result In
the formation of a nation was taking
place. Victor Emmanuel, Cavour, Garibaldi,
were endeavoring to draw to
get her the different parts of Italy and
I unite them in a nation. Garibaldi bad
J brought in the islands of Sicily and Napies,
attaching them to the kingdom
of Sardinia; Itorae hung in the balance;
Venice was still under the domination
of Austria.
In Turin, the capital of Piedmont
and of so much of Italy as had been
thus far united, in the villa of one of
those aristocratic families whose titles
have come down from medieval times,
two elderly men. Count Bertinetti and I
Baron Mettinel. sat in conference.
"I think." said the baron, "that I I
can do better for my daughter than to
marry her to your son, both in the way
of title and fortune. Nevertheless,
since we are old friends. I yield the
point and give niy consent."
"I am delighted, baron, at the prospect
of uniting our families." repeated
the other. "I take it that we shall |
have no trouble with the young people.
They have never seen each other, but
since they have both hern brought up
to obedience in the < hoi e of a mate I
am sure they will make no op-<c-:ition.

"And I assure you, < <? rt. :hit my (

of the Snort d Heart at where

to present her to soci. ;y : t ;he coming (
Tote ball." I
The Tote ball, holt' en ry sprint: at
Turin, was pi von for litis very purpose
of introducing debutantes of aristocratic
families. Fresh from their convents, \ 1
dressed becomingly, animated with ( I
this llicir lirst view or mo social worm, .
they formed a scene charming to look j|
upon. Tliev were all. or nearly nil. 11

liked from the hosts of admirers who
crowded about them.
"My son." replied Count Kertinetti,
"is now traveling, hut will arrive in
Turin for the ball. I suggest that the
first meetinp between the two young
people take place on that occasion.
There will be a prent advantage in
such an introduction. The music, the
array of beautifully dressed young
women and well groomed young men.
the- adornment and perfume of flowprs,
the ripple of chat, mingled with
laughter, all will conspire to seduce
the senses, and that, you .know, baron,
when we were young men one always
found alluring in a matter of love."
"I.agree with you. count. My daughter
leaves the convent in a few days,
and I will give directions to her mother
that she be kept like a bird#ln a
cage till she is set free in the ballroom."
This closed the interview, and the
two friends separated.
Within a few days after the meeting
in which was arranged one of those
marriaces of convenience without love,
common among the aristocracy of Europe,
young Count Giti'cppe Bercinettl
alighted from n post chaise at his father's
door and entered the house.
"Ah, my son," exclaimed the older
man. kissing his offspring on both
checks, "I am delighted to see you
again."
"I am glad to rejoin yon. father,
;hough 1 admit that I have had a deightful
trip."
"The next will be your wedding
journey, my boy. My negotiations i
ivith my old biend, Baron Mettiuci,'
tave resulted in the betrothal of you:'-!
self to his daughter."
The young man's brow darkened
miinously. His father saw the change
>f expression and said anxiously.
'Ginseppe, you appear to be disappointed."
Ginsppe made no reply.
"Did you not write me," pursued i
he father, "not a week ago that ycu j
lad no preterenee as to whom you j
should marry and leave the matter to j
tie."

"Fool!" interupted the father.

this dissolvng moonlight, for this face
t>f a young girl, doubtless softened by it
and which ? .11 soon belong either to r.
fat or a skinny old woman, you will
throw away a splendid opportunity."
The Interview ended, as all such interviews
are bound to end, in a quarrel.
But Giuseppe stood firm as a rock.
His attachment to the girl who in a
few hours had won his heart was too
strong for the father who had begotten
him and brought liini up. The boy

repudiated the contract. The count
went to the baron's villa and told the
story.
"Do you mean, count," asked the
baron, "that I am to suffer, through
my daughter, this Insult from you, my
old friend?"
"What can I do?"
The baron drew down the corners of
his mouth, closed his lips tight together
and finally spoke:
"Be it so. The contract is broken."
It was only the next evening that
the Tote ball took place. There was
to be no introduction between Giuseppe
and Bianca Mettiuci. Indeed,
the girl's Cither, had he been present
at the ball, would have considered a
request for an introduction an additional
Insult. Giuseppe had 110 thought
as to the girl being present and if he
had would have naturally kept out of
her* way. Fie found many a rosebud
to flirt and dance with, but refrained.
He was thinking of her he had met on
Lake Maggiori.
Suddenly his eye lighted. There on
the floor, waltzing with a young lieutenant,
was the object of his thoughts,
ne followed her with his eyes and as
soon as she censed to dance ap

walked away with Giuseppe.
During their promenade the young
count said to her:
"Do you know that at this ball I was
to have been presented to a girl to
whom I had been contracted In marriage?"
"And I was to have met a young
man whom my fnther had accepted as
a husband for me. My betrothed declined
the match." i
"Are you glad he di'l so?" asked
Giuseppe in a low voice, pressing the
hand that rested on his arm.
"Yes," she said In a still sof!er voice.
Giuseppe was thrilled with delight.
"Who was to have been your
fiance?" he asked presently.
"A son of Count Bertinetfi."
"What!" exclaimed Giuseppe, turning
his eyes upon her in wonder and
in horror.
She repeated the name.
"And you are Biunca Mettiuci?'
"I am."
"Heavens! What have I done?"
"Wh6t do you mean? Explain."
"I have refused to marry you."
It was the girl's turn to look surprised,
but she said nothing. Indeed,
there was nothing to say. Her young
heart had gone out to the first man
she had niet after leaving the conI
vent under the influence of the scenery
I of the beautiful^Italian lake bathed^
, moonlight. But' slight nsTnay he the
| spark that kindles love, it may lead to
[ the bursting of a flame. And so it was
; with Doth these young people.
"I will go to your father at once."
said Giuseppe. "I will withdraw my
refusal. I will"?
"No, no, not now. Papa is terribly
angry. I fear he will never get over
the insult that he considers has been
offered him. As he feels at present be
would be only too glad to refuse a renewal
of the contract, and I doubt if
be ever will consent to one now."
"Then I will go to iny father. He
and the baron are old friends. My
father will apologize for me. He will
get on his knees"?
The girl smiled.
he will say that I am ready to
trot t,n mv knees before him. beg his
pardon, offer to do any penance he
may name."
"Let us enjoy the evening together
while It lasts; we may never have such
another."
"Enjoy it! I am half crazed at whal
I hare done."
Not only does youth live for the
present niomeut, but is full of hope.
These two would not have been young
had not the delight of being together
and their entrancing surroundings enabled
them to throw off the cloud that
hung over them. If the moonlit lake
had first drawn them together, this
ballroom, voluptuous, yet above which
hung for them a cloud, strengthened
the bond that united their hearts. I'orhaps
the eloud?the terrible mistake
that was now likely to separate them?
did more to cement thorn than either
| of the other causes.
As soon as Ciuspppe reached home
he aroused his father from slumber,
told him of the mistake that had beeu
made and begged him to get out of
lied, go at once to the baron and en
deavor to effect :i renewal or tne con
tract. Naturally the father was opposed
to going on such rjt errand at
'1 o'clock in the morning and told his
son to go to bed, promising to see the
baron as early the next day us It
would be proper for liltn to call.
Giuseppe walked the floor till dawn.
Ills father kept his promise and by
10 o'clock called on tlm baron. Giuseppe
went with him. but on'reaching a point
some dist.'.n-e from the villa stopped
to watch his father's entry mid to
wait for his ex!'..
Two hours passed?they seemed like

published in the Ladies' Home
Journal, Mrs. Wiggin told something
of her method in transcribing child
life for her books and plays. She was
born and passed her first yea:s
in a little Maine hamlet, Hollis, near
where she has built her beautiful
summmer home, QuiKcotc, where
most of her literary work is dene.
When she was fairly out of her teens
her parents moved to the far western
coast and i tw/s in San Fransis?
eo that she began her life work as
a kindergarten tfcacher. She was
one of the pioneers of the Froebel
system on the Pacific coast and gained
her immense knowledge of child
emotions and child nature by he* intercourse
with her young pupils in
her books. "Timolhy's Quest," was
built up on the remark of a six-year
old. He had been a guest at a house
where the people knew nothing about
children and did not know how to entertain
him properly. Coming away
from the visit he confided to Mrs.
Wiggin this important fact: "That
need some babjes in that house aw.
fully." It was on this infantile philosophy
that she built up one of her
most popular books and it is just
such real incidents that she built up
one of her most popular books and
has used in building "Rebecca 'of
