it waa done in a twinkling and in a few
tepa having harked back we were in the
1'apal gardens. The casino or summer-house
of the pope waa in full light and we directed
our atepa there without difficulty. I mado
two of our men walk In front Jacopo and
the third behind us and we remained in
the middle. Strict orders were given to
have awords ready and to use them at
oner.
Except for the moonlight the gardens
themselves were not illuminated and as
we trumped along the paths I thought to
myself how easy it would have been for
Michclotto to have got rid of both St. Ar-
mandc and m)sclf If we had been fooU
enough to go without escort.
Nothing happened. We reached the
rnsino rind waited there a full hour; but
there was no aign of Michclotto.
At Inst I lost patience.

his curious seamed (ace and thin bloodless
lips were as pale as if he had nriscti from

tinnntur.il brilliancy but he was outwardly

"I camo but to sec if you were safe !?

"Thanks." I replied offering him a seat
"we are all quite safe. Nothing happened.
The don was not there. Either he had

"A little of both I should think" he said
with u thin smile as he placed his book on
the table. ''Sigiiorc" he went on "are you

"Well Mcfcser Cortc 1 will own to It.

"It is not fortune" ho said "it is some-

He lifted his head i)id looked at me.
Then rlihig he placed one hand on each
of my shoulders thin hands they were with
long bony finger that held like claws.
"Signore" he said with emotion "Donatl
or Savclll whoever you are you arc a

Goodhyl" And lifting up his book be
turned and sttodo out of the room leaving
me a little chilled.
After that I waited for my meeting with
D'AmLoisc. 1 saw to the packing of a
valise went down and looked at the horses
clon-li- Inspected the arms and mounts of
my men who looked capable of anything
and In one way and another managed to
get through the time until about the sixth
hour whin his eminence supped. I present-
ed in j self punctually and was ushered Into
an inner apartment which I had not hith-
erto seen and where the supper was evi-
dently to bo held for the tabic was set out
there. I was alone at first and seating my-
self on n lounge looked about me. Tho
room was small but beautifully fitted up
and had all thn appearance of being the
cardinal's private study. Ily my side was
a table on which was jprc.-id a map with
various i roue marked on it in red chalk
the thalk itself tying on the map where
it had been carelessly flung. In front of
mc was an altar surmounted by a silver
cruclhx bearing an exquisitely-carved
Christ. Near it In a corner leaned a long
straight sword from whose cross handle
hung a pair of Tine steel gauntlet. Heat-
ing on o cushion plated on a stand was
the cardinal' hut and behind the stand
1 could see the brown outline of a pair of
riding boots and the glitter of burnished
spurs. In a corner of the room was a
targe table set out witli writing materials
and covered with papers. Hunning my eyes
over theso Idly I finally let them rest on
the supper table which was arranged with
lavish tirofusion. The curtains of the win-
dons were drawn and tho light from eight
tall candles in jeweled holders fell on the
rose and umber of the wine in the quaint
ilasks on the cheerful brown crusts of the
ii.ilii-. on the oiiv enameling of the com-
liturcs and on the red gold of the plate. I
noticed too that the table was bet for
three only It was evidently a private sup-
per when! things were to be discussed and
I berntnu glad for I felt already a step on-
wards towards winning back my name and
I seemed to nee in the mirror on the wall
to ui) hit n vision of a woman with dark
hair and dark cjes
"Your eminence!" I fairly startcJ up. I
hail not observed tho entrance of D'Am-
boisc until he stood lieside me and touched
me lightly on (lie shoulder.
"Dreaming tavalicrc! 1 did not think
jou were so given. I am afraid that late as
I Bill I must still Keep you trom your sup-
per for I exiicct another guest. Hat there
ho is!"
Indeed as he spoke the door swung open
noiscltpftly and Machiavclli entered. He
was plainly and simply dressed am! wore
nn swoid merely n dagger at his 'J 1
thought howeer I caught the gleam nl n
steel corselet under his vest as he greeted
the cardinal and D'Amlioise' own sap
phire was not more brilliant than the single
opal which blared in the sect clary's hand.
"This is the Cavalicre Donatl our excel-
lency" said the cardinal "but I think you
know cadi other."
Mnchhvclli extended hi hand to mc with
Lis Inscrutable smile; hut as I met his eyes
nf thtt att round'
I you mind hand-

1 saw that they were troubled and uuxious.
He. however spoke with easy unconcern.
"Well met Mescr Donatl. I ran only say
I am -orry we patted so soon. I wou'd have
given much to have had you in Florence lor
a t'ew days more."
"Your excellency Is most kind."
"St. Donnlst" said the cardinal "but an-
you gentlemen going to exchange compli-
ments und sturvc iimtcad of sitting down to
supper. Ilurin arc we not icadyl" and ho
turned to his gray-haired major-domo who
had entered tho room.
"Your tmlncnre is served" replied tho
linn nnd we tools our scat on each side
of the table IVAmboiso between us.
" ou need not wait Ilurin but remain in

nnd thu tardlna! said witli an air of apol-

The cardinal ate and talked. 1 now and

very silent nnd hardly touched anything.
"St. Dennis!" said IVAmboiso "but ) our
excellency is n poor trencherman. And I
heard so much of you!"
"Your eminence will excuse me when I
say I have bad news."
D'Amboise became grave at once. "I et
ma say how sorry I am. It is not a matter
of stale?" and he glanced meaningly at I lie
secretary.

"We will drink this then with your emi-

glass in the air.
"Itlght" said D'Amboise. "Gentlemen

He raiiK-d the wine to his lips. I silently
did the same.
"Hold on!"
Wc stopped in amatr and Machiavelll
who had stiokcn quietly emptied his glass
Into a bowl beside him.
"What docs this mean?" said the cardinal.
"This your eminence" and Machiavelll
held out his hand on which an opal wnt
flashing a moment before. The stone was
still there in tho gold band nn his finger;
but it win no longer an opal but something
black as jet devoid of till luster.
Stm tin by the movement D'Amboise
bent oer the extended fingers and I fol-
lowed Ms example. The red on the cardi-
nal's cheek went out and his lips paled as he
looked at the ring.
"Poison! Heart of Jems!" he muttered
through pale lips.
"Yes" said .Machiavelll slowly with-
drawing his hand "the ring tells no lies.
Diavolot Was ever so grim a jest? Asking
)ou to tell him if your eminence liked the
wine!"
It was loo near a matter to bo pleasant.
and the hideous jest and the treachery of
Alexander filled me with a hot anger. It
had tho effect however of pulling me to-
gtther at once the sudden presence of death
ar.d the danger recalling me to myself for
all my thoughts of Angiola. I breathed u
prayer of thanks lor our ccae. u was a
good omeu. My luck waa not yet run out.
D'Amboise sprang to his feet. "Ily G I"

palm of his hand "the Ilorgia wilt rue this

more composure that he struck n small gong
and revealed hiuiKcIf nt the table. As ho

Ily the lime Ilurin hail ilonc this his emi

ment except that Ills lips were very firmly
set and theiu waxn slight frown nn his fore-
head as lis smoothed out the roll of the map.
One rorucr kept obstinately turning up and
as Marl.iavclli quittly put his hand nn it to
keep it in position he said: "Sec! The

Thla Is the atory of "The Sundown
r;" nnd It has never before been told.
Probably no other city In the world
certainly no other city In this country
has such u goodly number of these
people as enn be found In our notional
cnpltal.
Scholars tell us Hint nil discussion
should be preceded by definition; nnd
that mini) Kicut debates tme been
caused by lack of understanding of
terms on the part of those In dispute.
Therefore the learned men tell us
every term should be properly defined
by n public speaker or writer In order
that the listener or render may the bet-
ter apprehend what Is Intended to be
conveyed.
Well "a Sundowner" I n nmn who
practices a profession In this city after
tho working hours of the ilny hnc
passed nwny nnd when men In the
learned professions hove Inld aside their
books their papers their clients and
patients nnd dismissed them from their
minds. "A Sundowner goes to work
when other men have censed their dally
labors and endeavors. "A Sundowner"
is liable to work long after sundown;
probably until midnight or even later.
It Is because he practices his profession
after sundown that he Is called a Sun-
downer. These people work nil tiny; that Is
from nine o'clock In the morning until
four o'clock In the uftrrnnon. One of
this class this evening told his story In
brief and It was as follows: "I came
to Washington to staj three years and
I hnvc atnvcd lust 27 vcars too long. I
have been here for 30 years. 1 came
bere nnd wns nppolnted to a clerkship
solely for the purjiose of having n good
living wlille I studied nii-dli-lue. I
worked faithfully In mj office all day
and studied medicine nt night. Alt of
the medical colleges here have their
hours so arranged an to ni-cummodiitc
government clerks and lectures arc
given nt night. Three happy years went
by and I was grnduntcd. 1 well remem-
ber how anxious 1 was for graduation
day to come nnd how I dully pictured
to myself the roseate future when I
should become n great phjfclclan or sur-
geon with patients too numerous for
my time uml intention. 1 hud visions
of a house of my own an ollicc in my
own house a family growing up about
mc nnd u bunk uccouut constantly
swelling.
"Well the linppy day enme nnd I re-
ceived my diploma. 1 had It framed
nnd It Is still In the original frame. It
authorized mc to practice medicine.
Success and wealth weir In my grnsp.
Very noon I hhould step forth Into the
world nnd make u reputation inrnijscii
which would rUul that of nil physicians
of the past. I had studied tllllgi-utly
and faithfully. I hud become an expert
with the Mill pel and litul been compli-
mented by the professors home of
whom seemed to renllj belle c with mc
that I would become a famous surgeon.
"Hut here I am with nothing but that
old dlplomu to show- fur 1113 cnrs of
eager hopeful nmbltlom- outliful en-
deavor. Do von know why V Itei-nuse I
hesitated ami was lost In the maelstrom
of failure which chnrncterl.cs the llea
of so many hundreds w ho conic to Wash-
ington and hold gimrnmcnt ollicc. I
am one of n common clnm. I nm a Sun-
downer nnd always shall be.
In the first place I hesitated to go
into the world without some money to
back me. I concluded to rcmnln In
Washington one jeur longer sine mj
money and then go back home to In-
diann with enough on hand to Keep mc
comfortably at least a year while 1 was
building up u- practice anil letting Un-
people become accustomed to set-lug my
sign hanging oer my olllce door. The
first jenr pns-tcd uml 1 had saved $300.
That was not enough of course so I
concluded to wait another ear. At the
end of the second jrnr I hud saicd up

hundreds who belong lo the samcclnss.
The young men who hnvc graduates! In
law have become brlcfmnkcrs for tuw-
yers and they make extra money at
night doing ollicc drudgery until their
eyes are dimmed with overwork by arti-
ficial light. The poor theologians how-
ever never hnvc the courage to go forth
nnd preach the Gospel which they know-
so well. Hut they make good Sunday
school teachers and therefore It Is that
some of the Sunday schools In this city
have such superior teachers. They arc
men of education and ability but they
lock nerve and faith and courage. lie-
sides life In government office Is very
easy and attractive nnd It takes lots
of ambition to Indlucc any man to give
up such a position. Therefore It Is that

which has such t-ducatlonnl advantages
for young men ns may be found here
the uiubitlous students should not
make offlco holding a prerequisite
Their parents and friends should urge
them to take no government office un-
der any clrcuuistanccs but stlt-k to
their studies nnd get into actual prac-
tice as soon ns possible after having
been graduated.
Tin great congressional library alone
would lie a boon to every real student.
It Is now open by night n well as b.v
day and all classes of students hnvc
free access to Its volumes. There Is
no necessity for buying books nnd nc-
cumulating a library nt nn expense
which might fall heavily upon those
who are not blessed with good Incomes
from their homes. Hut In addition to
that splendid temple of Information
and education there are prlvnte li-
braries college libraries and univer-
sity libraries all accessible to those
who desire to use them.
As stntcd above tho eolteges afford
superior facilities because they hnvc
day sessions and night sessions so that
students hnvc opportunities such n
are not elsewhere afforded. More-
over the students of law can
learn pructlenl lessons by attend-
ing the sessions of the congress;
lessons which of course cannot
be learned anywhere else. It Is be
en u si or these exceptional opportuni-
ties that fond fathers having political
Infiueucc have sent their boys to Wash-
ington and secured government em-
ployment for them In order that they
might secure education only to be-
come Sundowners.
Of course here nnd there In.thc land
there may be a Henry Clay or nn
Abraham Lincoln or n (Jnrflcld seeking
cducntlon who might be advantaged
by government employment (luring his
educational period. Hut such excep-
tion to the rule are so rare that cver.v
father should be absolutely certain
that his sou Is of that class before hr
