Friend Waite-The Journal comes
to us again with its accustomed face
since you have returned and driven the
devils behind the ink-keg. We have
had lots of fun reading the imps' effusions
Every copy that came to this place was
read to pieces.
This portion of the county has admi-
rable ditch facilities which will soon be
improved A large population has in
consequence gathered in here. Our
claims all through this region promise
we'll. and we have ground for the en-
ployment of thousands. l think this
portion of the county has been under
ated heretofore but will soon vindicate
its claims to consideration. 4 large
number of old Nevadans are here
In politics we have not SO much ex-
citement as seems to prevail in some
other parts Of the county. This may
he from the fact that we have been
overlooked by speakers. But men of
all parties seem determined to vote for
the bes. men regardless # party lines.
Baker and McKihben will get large
vote here 1t is thought that FenH
will get large vote here for County
Clerk. while Sargent for District Attm-
ney will get very heavy vote. aud
run a very long way ahead # his own
party. Politics are very much mixed
here and ballots will be well scratched
on the day of election.

John de Hois was taken down from
the cruel cross. and borne towards the
door. When he reached the space in
front of the throne, he started from the
grasp Of those who held him, and sank
down upon his knees.

And John de Hois was again lifted up
and borne swiftly away. His voice was
heard, even in the distance, crying out
against the falsehood he had uttered. But
none needed him. The fatal words had
gone forth from his lips, and the scribes,
had taken them down.

Dark and gloomy dragged away the
hours that came to stretch out the life Of
Count Philip d Artoy. On that fatal
night of his arrest by the familiars, he
had been conducted to the city, and after
he had passed the gates, he had been
oilndfolded. He knew that he had been
led some diStsnce-that he had entered a

CHAPTER XII.
THE WORD Is SPOKEN!

There was a noise outside the torture
chamber, and the inquisitor started bacl
to his throne and demanded its cause
The door was opened, and familiar en-
tered
"What means this disturbance % thu
master asked.
"a messenger, sir. from the Queen
He says he bears letter for you"
"Then let him send it in"
"He was ordered to give it only to
your own hands"
"Who is he 90
"His name is Aymar, and he is Ben
edictine."
"Ah--the old, white-headed monk oil
Clermont ?"
"I'he same"
"He may enter. Throw a shroud
over the rack"
In few moments more, the same bent,
aged form we have seen at the house OF
Pierre Lafont, entered the dark chamber.
He approached the throne of the inquis-
itor and bowed his head.
"What have you, good father %
"a message from our holy mother, the
Queer" returned Aymar, and as he spoke,
he placed his hand in his bosom, and at
the same time, cast his eyes about the
room, until they. rested upon the two
prisoners. There was quick cleaning
of the eye, and a compression of the
white bearded lips. as he saw Philip, but
he seemed to take no more notice.
LET us have the Queens will"
"God save me! l have lost it." the
Benedictine said, feeling nervOusly about
his bosom.
Lost it %
"Yes. Pardon. All, God grant that
the Queen be not angry. 1t was only q
bare scrawl-a simple suggestion. L will
hasten back and confess the truth, and
then l will return with its duplicate

but the purpOrt = do you know

''Yes. 1t was something concerning
one Philip d. Artoy--a young man, |
think. Do You know him 2"
"Yes-well." answered the inquisitor.
"Hasten You back, and the young man
shall rest till l hear the Queens will
But mark you-when you come again,
you will not enter here"
The old monk bowed, and was then
led out of the room and when he was
gone, the execntioners moved again to-
wards the rack.
"Let it be-Iet it be" said the inqnis-
itor, 1--WE shall not use it again for the
while"
Then he conferred in whispers with the
scribes. and after that, he again opened
the black book that lay before him.
"Jokn de Rois," he pronounced.
The knight started and shuddered.
do you know wherefore you are sum
moned here 20
mo" The man trembled as he spoke.
and instinctively his eyes sought the
black shroud that covered the death-laden
rack.
"You, too, have beeen accused oil con-
spring, with other Protestants. against
the life of the King. That such adread-
full plot is on foot we we'll know, and we
would know who are in it. aud also have
witness to the the fact from among the
guilty party. We fear that Admiral Co
lieny is at the head Of the bloody bnsi-
ness. Confess that such is the fact, and

knight. "Oh, no. He loves the King,

As the morn streaked the east,
And the night fed away,
They would rise up for labor,
Refreshed for the day;
And the song of the lark,
AIit rose on the gale,
Found Bob at his plough,
And his wife at the pail

Where in youth they first gave
Their young hearts up to love,
Was the solaee Of age,
And 10 them doubly dear,
As IT called up the past
With a smile or tear.
Each tree had its thought,
And the vow could impari,
That mingled in youth,
The warm wish Of the heart;

And the hill and the landscape

And have hearI from the cottage,
With grateful surprise,
Tie voice of Thanksgiving,
Like incense arise.
And thought on the proud,
Who would look down with secrn
On the neat little cottage,
The grove and the thorn,
And felt that the riches
And tinsels Of life
Were dross, to conteniment
With Bob and his wife.
