CHAPTER I.
A ilttle party of tourists might be seen one lovely day in January, on the hill back of the city of Valetta, on that gem of Mediterranean islands, Great Bri- tuin’s Malta.
The air is as clear as a bel, and the
is certainly to charm the
acene one senses, with the blue Mediterranean, dotted with sails. a hazy line far, far
away that may be the coast of Africa, the double harbor below, ome known as Quarantine, where general trade is done, the other, Great harbor, being devoted to government vessels,
Quaint indeed is the appearance of the Maltese city that rests mostly upon the side of the hill under the fortifica- tions, a second Quebec, ag it were.
The streets are, some of thm. very steep, the houses, built of limestone, generally three storeys in height, with a flat roof that answers the same pur pose as the Spanish or Mexican azotes,.
Valetta has three city gates, one the Porta Reale, through which our little tourist group came to reach their pre- sent position leads to the country; the Porta Marsamuscetto to the general harbor, where lie craft of all nations while the government harber is reached by means of the Marina gate,
Thus they hold to many of the way# of Moorish and Mohammedan countries.
The fortifications of limestone are massive—England has a second Gibral- tar here.
In general. the Maltese speak a lan- guage not unlike the Arabic, though English aod Italian are used in trade.
They are a swarthy, robust, fearless people, strong in their loves and hates. and the vendetta has been known to exist here just as fiercely as in its na- tive home of Corsica.
Many dress in the costume of the Franks. but the native garb is still worn by the lower classes, and is a pic- turesque sight, such as we see upon tee stage.
It constists of a long bag made of wool, and dyed various colors. making a cap such as is worn by the sailors
in stage scenes like the “Pirates of Pen- zance.”’
The top part of this is used fer a purse, or “forms a receptutle for any small articles the wearer desires tc carry.
A short, loose pantaloon. to the knee
which leaves the lower !eg bare, is con-
fined at the waist by a girdle or sash of colored cotton or silk. Then there is worn a cotton shirt, with a short. ]}oose
vest.or waistcoat, as they were formerly

As to the ladies of Malta. tume is very odd, snd reminds one somewhat of Spain. In part, it cen- sists of a black petticoat, bound reund the waist, over a body of some other kind of silk or print which is called the half onueila. The upper part, the on- uella, of the same material, is drawn in- to neat gathers for the length of a foot about the center of one of the outer seams. Ip the seam of one of the re maining divisions is enclosed a piece of whalebone, which drawn over the head, and forms a »erfect arch, leaving the head and neck bare.
As may be expected. it requires much practice to wear suca a dress gracefully. Many of the best ladies of Valetta now get their fashions direat from Paris— so the world moves.
The little party of tourists have as cended the hill for the purpose of cb- taining the glotions view referre] to, and at the same time whiling eway a few hours of time. for their stay at ‘the Island of Malta has net been «f theig choosing, a peculiar accident eausing the steamer on which they were taking passage to put in here for some seces sary repairs,
The tovricts are five in vumber, and a very brief description will wzive the read- er an idea as to their identity. leaving individual peculiarities to be developed aS our story progresses.

Probably the one that would attract the attention of a stranger first would be the young lady with the peech-bloom complexion and sunny blue eyes, whose figure is so stylish, and whose rather haughty manner bespeaks proud Eng fish blood.
There another female, whom the young lady calls Aunt Gwen. and as a specimen of a man female she certainly takes the premium, being tall, angular. yet muscular, and with a face that is rather Napoleonic in its east. A born diplomat, and never so happy as when engaged in a broil or a scene of some sort, they have given this Yankee aunt of Lady Ruth the name of Gwenddlin Makepeace. And as she has an append. age somewhere, known as a husband. her final appellation is Sharpe, which somehow suits her of all,
Aunt Gwen is a character to be watch- ed, and bound to bob up serenely, with the mest amazing assurance, at nnex- pected times.
Then. there is Sharpe, her worse half, a small gentleman over whom she tow: ers. and of whom she is secretly fond of in her way. though she tyrannizes him dreadfully.
Near him may be seen a young Ame rican, whom they have somehow dub- bed “Doctor Chicago,” because he is a medical student hailing from that city by name John Alexander Craig. Amon his friends he is simply Ale*k. His manner is buoyant, and he looks like an overgrown boy. but his record thus far his brain contain that which will some day cause him to forge ahead.

No one knows why Craig is abroad. That he has some mission besides a
tour for health and sight-seeing, several little things have proyed.

He gained an enviable reputation for deeds of valor. and is disposed to look upon our friend from Chieayo as an amiable boy. though after see:ng how they rush things out in that west ern metropolis he may have acensional qualms of fear lest this young doctor finally reach the goal for w hich poth

There are several commissioniires 6F guides, at five frances a day, for one cannot move at Malta without being at tended, and it is wise to engage one ci- cerone to keep the rest of his tribe at bay.
Thus on the hill, above the singular Maltese city of Valetta. our story opens.
Aunt Gwen is sweeping a field-glass around, and emphasizing her admiration of the picturesque scene with various phrases that would immediately give ber away as a Western Yankee.
Lady Ruth, with an admirer on each side, looks a trifle tired, or, it may be, bored.
She may be planning some innocent little scheme, such as girls are wont to indulge in when they have a super- fluity of beaus, in order to extract some amusement from the situation, even if it come under the head of “cruelty t¢ animals.”

The conversation runs upon vhat lies there before them, and an animated discussion arises as to the possibility of a foreign enemy ever being able to suc cessfully assault this second Gibraltar of the Mediterranean.
Of course, the young American {fs en- thusiastic. and his unbounded faith in the new ‘White Squadron to accomplish anything, while, on the other hand, the British officer, like most of his class believes that John Bull is invincible on iand or wave. Of course, the young man from Chicago disputes the point, and en- ergetically contends that no nation is
superior to the Republic, or that eny , flag can be more desperately defended |
than “Ola Glory.”
And right in the midst of the heated discussion Lady Ruth smiles, 1s though she has suddenly hit upon an idea at
last—an idea that offers a solution te | the problem that has been perplecing |
her of late, concerning the courage of these rival admirers,
She turns to the American and smiles sweetly.
“Doctor, yon speak of your country: men being brave; will you prove it?’ 4s what she says.
The young man turns a trifle red,
“I beg your pardon, in speaking of Americans, I did not intend to sound my own praise- Personally, I never claimed more than the average amount of boldness, thongh I don’t know that I was ever called a coward.”
His manner is modest, but the young girl with English ideas ‘chooses to look upon his words with suspicion.
“Doctor Chicago must not take yv-a- ter, I have agurely understood him te be a regular fire-cater—that all Chicago has rung with his eseapades”” cays the colonel of Royal Engineers, sneeringly,
“Nonsense! But. Lady Ruth, you spoke of my proving something—what ean I do for you?”
“Took!”
She extends a shapely arm. Fler fin- ger peints to a white flower growing ont upon the face of the precipice be side them.
“Do you see that flower?’ she agks.
“T do,” he replies calmly.
“JT would like to possess it.”
The young man looks down. A fall means instant death, and it would be impossible for even an experienced Al- pine traveller to pass along the face of the rock in safety.

: -—@ The Story Teller. : In eastern countries, POM in place of our story- writers, they have professional story- tellers, It is their art to interest their listeners with tales of love, and marvelous adventures, and hair-breadth escapes, and magic cures. There’s a story of a wonder- ful medicine that has made thousands of cures that seemed almost magical, which every woman should read or hear. To have heard it or to read it, may save a wo- man her own life or that of her husband.
The medicine is the discovery of Dr. R. V. Pierce, an eminent and skillful spe- cialist, for thirty years chief consulting physician to the great Invalids’ Hotel and Surgical Institute, at Buffalo, N. Y. It is known as Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Dis- covery. It makes the appetite hearty, the digestion perfect, the liver active, the blood pure and rich, the nerves steady, the brain clear and the body strong. It is the great blood-maker and fiesh-builder. It cures 98 per cent. of all cases of consump- tion and diseases of the air-passages. It cures nervous diseases and is the best med- icine for overworked men and women. A woman may save her husband’s life by keeping a bottle in the house, and getting him to resort to it when he feels out-of sorts. All men are heealess about their health. Medicines stores sell it. Doctor Pierce’s reputation is world-wide, and his fellow townsmen, of Buffalo, N. Y., think so highly of him that they made him their representative in Congress, but his great love for his profession caused him to resign that honorable position that he might de- vote the remainder of his Nfe to the relief and cure of the sick.
Another good thing to have in the house is a vial of Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets. They cure biliousmess and constipation and never gripe.
