She rushed OUer to her father and t7lTe1U
herself at his feet.
''Oh, you are the husband, are you? A
nice sort of husband you are to let the
poor girl without word of help or COM
fort have to speak in such way to her
father. I'll bet that you are no better
than you should be-" Then he went on
aloud, "Tell me what you have to say
about this matter?'
Marie was now determined to take all
the blame on herself, and so she an
swered with cold determination.
II took the money. saw my father
hide it, and as I had seen him thought
that some one else might have seen him,
too, and so took the money that might
make it safe.'
what did you do with it?' broke in
her father in rage. "Where is it now,
you wicked grip
Marie was silent. She had some vain,
desperate hope that this question would
not be aske(&Af her now that she had
confessed and when her father had &C
tually felt it in her pocket. The silence
seemed to exasperate the old man still
more. He did not know for certain that
it was the money that he had felt, so
once more he interrupted with a remark.
Il tell you. officer, that she has the
money in her pocket. l felt it there.
Search her, and you will find it."
Turn out your pockets?' said the
gendarme
With gesture of despair an0 heart
breaking sob, she put her hand into her
pocket and said in low voice:
"Oh, fatherY'
GOMEZ Be quiclz!' said Beaumont,
in harsh voice.
Marie went to the table and emptied
her pocket Of the sad weight which for
so long had borne her down. The money
was of all kinds. some of the coins were
furnished and some were green with long
lying in the damp earth. Others were
bright and had evidently only been late
ly added to the store. When the old
MAI saw them he rushed at them greedi-
ly and turned them over in his hand, au
thenticating them as he went along.

THE ESCAPE.

The sergeant of the gendarmes now
took decisive attitude. Calling to the
men under him, he ordered them to ar
rest both Marie and her husband, as it
would be necessary to bring them before
the magistrate Of the commune.
Nine. Beaumont protested vigorously.
Her poor child was in no fit condition
for journey; that there was no charge
against her that would warrant such
thing; that her father would not prefer
the charge against his own child; that
the whole thing was mistake; that if
any harm should happen to Marie it
would be a understanding but MUIR
der-and that he, the gendarme, would
be the murderer, and for all his smooth
ways and words that they all knew now
to be false would hereafter perish in ev-
erlasting torment, for that the lie bon
Dieu was just and would not suffer such
things. A thousand such things the
poor soul said in her distraction, to the
satisfaction of the neighbors and to the
growing apgec of the other gendarmes,

father gave me on lily birthday There
is the Italian gold piece with the nick in
it which had for the wine which sent
over the frontier. These are my coins.
This is all my money, which has been
stolen from me-"
He said this all in such heartless way
that it hurt poor Marie almost as much
as her own shame to find that her father
had quite forgotten that it was his own
daughter whom he was so pitilessly &C
cusing.
The sergeant now spoke:
This unhappy matter seems clear
enough. You have made a charge of
robbery. The crime is confessed"
Here Marie broke in:
"Crimel Oh, do not say thatl never
confessed to crime; the good Lord knows
that l am innocent"
Here again the sergeant struck in:
You do not confess. You affirm that
you are innocent. Then you must be
screening some one else. Who. so likely
to be screened by wife as her husband?
Stay where you arer' This was spoken
to Robert, who had risen and was quiet
ly leaving the room. Nov, please to
tell me, did your husband know that you
had the money!"
"Oh, no! A thousand times nor There
was such a ring Of truth in her voice
that all who heard it were satisfied on
this point at least.
The sergeant went on again:
How did you know where the money
was hidden?"
II saw my father hide it,
"Why did you think that it was in
danger of being stolenT
II feared it.
Did you suspect any one?"
NO" This said very family.
1T was at night when you saw it hid
den?'
1T was"
Have you been in the habit Of going
out at night?'
NO"
Then what made you go on this occa-
sion?"
II saw my father go out with q spade.
and I followed him."
did your husband know that you
were going outP This was getting into
such close quarters that Marie feared
that one more question of the same kind
would infallibly discover the secret
which she was trying to guard. She
hesitated The sergeant angrily adj
dressed her: ANSWER my question, and
without waiting. If you are trying to
screen any one else, I tell you plainly that
it will be of no USE"
"My husband did not know that was
out. He knew nothing whatever of my
having the money until it was produced
here in this ROOM"
"Was he ever out at night?'
Here, in moment, was the question
that she most dreaded. She looked
around her with wild, hunted, despair
ing look-tried to speak, but her lips
moved unavailingly. Her hands moved
for a moment wildly to and fro, and she
sank senseless on the floor.
CHAPTER VI.
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1893-10-11

continued that he made the charge of
robbery, and that whoever had stolen
his money would have to pay the penal
ty of the law.
The sergeant swore with many oaths
of the strongest and most uncompromis-
ing character that justice should wreak
her utmost vengeance on the wrong
doer. He was especially forcible, for
with this real charge to investigate he
felt that he could recover the prestige
which so far he had lost in the murder
case. So he suggested that he should go
to Beaumont's house to make further in
quiries on the spot and examine the
ground. The willy sergeant had good
eye for the main chance, and he argued
that as it was now getting on for dinner
time he would have better chance Of
faring we'll in the house of man who
had so much money to lose than he
would anywhere else. Accordingly they
all proceeded to his house, and there the
inquiry was continued. When he had
got all that was voluntarily told him, he
began to make inquiries.
All this time Marie was in terrible
state of fright. She felt that the time
must come when the blow should fall,
but she felt quite powerless to avert it.
Through the examination she sat silent,
and when the evidence had all been
volunteered she would have stolen away,
partly for moments rest to relieve the
tension Of her mind and chiefly to get
rid anyhow of the money in her pocket,
which seemed to weigh her down like
lead, so that she could not understand
why it was that the soldiers did not
notice it and ask her questions. Now
she felt that there was hope of mo-
ment's respite. but just then the sergeant
spoke.
II must now ask some questions, and
shall require you all. Stay where you
are, and shall not detain any of you
longer than I can help"
Maries heart grew as cold as ice, and
she felt the deadly faintness coming over
her again. Her head seemed to reel,
and it was with pain as of death that
she spoke:
Let me go away, please! Please let
me go away! Please, for the love Of
Godr'
The gallant sergeant of the gendarmes
was certainly not the man to be hard on
a woman if he could help it. He ex-
claimed with genuine pity:
Poor girl! poor girl! She has no
right to be here at all and in such con-
dition too! You may go. at all events,
until we want you. But you must first
for FORMS sake tell me that you know
nothing of this affair and if necessary
be searchedr'
They were all startled by the wild cry
which broke from her She rushed over
to her father and threw herself at his
feet and cried to him in agony:
Father! father, save me, save me!
Do not let them torture me with ques-
tons! Do not let them search me! |
swear to you that l am innocent. You
do not know what you are doing! You
cannot know what misery you are bring
ing on mel"
Her father put his hands to his head,
with motion as though it were to save
it from falling to pieces. He gazed in
wild eyed amazement at the helpless
form crouching at his feet and then
stopped to raise her. But as he did so
his hand met the heavy bulk of the
monev in her pocket. . He let her 90 in a

CHAPTER V.
THE ACCUSATION.

THE ACCUSATION.
By this time the gendarmes had gone
in their investigation as far as the infor-
nation allowed them and were pretty
we'll at fault regarding any proof of the
death being the result Of a murder Po-
lice. however, all the world over never
confess that they are wrong, and the
very fact that they are unable to mao
Roadway in an investigation is to them
an additional reason for the continuance
of their suspicion.
Being now quite at fault and almost
anxious for an excuse for leaving the
matter for the present without having
to acknowledge the ignominy of defeat,
they seized with alacrity the divertisse-
ment created by the charge of Beau
mont.
The sergeant pulled himself together,
got fresh paper and ink, and after snub-
bling his subordinates severely had Beau
mont placed before him and began the
investigation.
"Your name?'
''Charles Beaumont"
"Occupation?"
Farmer"
"Age?"
"Sixty-two years on the 27th Of last
March"
Married or single?'
Married"
"Name of wife,"
MARIE"
"Her age?'
Here the farmer began to feel that an
investigation was by no means pleas
ant proceeding, for he found the eye of
his wife fixed on him with glance that
was half anxious and half threatening.
Good Nine. Beaumont had-like the rest
of her sex-a rooted objection to tell her
age. The farmer hesitated a little and
began to stammer, being in nowise as
sisted in his difficulty by hearing his
wife say in an audible voice:
''The brave officer, who is a gentle
man, will not, | am sure, affront a wo-
man. Tell him the truth, CharlesI"
Her husband was just about to blurt
out with mans usual stupidity her real
age-51-when the gallant sergeant cut
in
''Thirty three! Thank you, heard
quite well, and if may say so remark
ably well preserved woman Of her yearsw
Needless to say that by this conduct he
earned the gratitude of every woman in
the place, although, to tell the truth, the
efficacy of the first part of the speech
was spoiled to the minds Of many by the
latter part.
This little incident seemed to make
things go more easily to all except poor
Beaumont, who, being now more at ease
on his own account with his inquisitor,
had time to think again of his terrible
loss. The inquiry went on, and the poor
man told the story of how he had gone
out in the night and had hidden his own
money in his own land as his father had
done before him, he having got the idea
of it's being the only safe way to keep
money from the exactions of the seigneur
and the tax farmer under the old regime
and from the patriots under the new.
Then he went on to say that he went
to the place that very hour, even while
the investigation on the remains of poor
Pierre was proceeding; that he had dug
IN the very same place, turning over the
very same earth; that he had found the
very same piece of canvas in which the
money he'd been tied I'D. But. lit was

sudden revuls1on Of feeling, almost cast
ing her from him, to the great indigna-
ton of the sergeant, who muttered to
himself:
"The brute! to treat the poor girl like
that and she in such condition. even
supposing that she was thief"
Marie felt like death. The relief Of
swooning was denied her, for she felt
that some effort was absolutely neces-
sary on her part. If suspicion were once
cast on her husband Gas it would be if
she told the truth and gave the motive Of
her taking the money!, he might be in
some way held accountable for the death
Of Pierre-a risk which, with her mem

The sergeant spoke very gravely now.
"This is very terrible matter, but T

and the inquiry must proceed in due
form. Young woman, you must answer
my questions. What is your nameT'
"Marie Macaire."
"Where is your husband?'
'He is there beside you to the left"
The sergeant muttered under his
breath:

Boston may now be considered as thor
oughly committed to the theory that
Norscmcn antedated Columbus 800 years
III the discovery of America. 1t took
the Hub Il long time to come TO this con-
clusion, for she had formerly frowned
on the theory. The Massachusetts His
torical society condemned it, and Histo-
rian Bancroft declared there was moth
ing in it. But in 1872 Ole Bull, the Nor
wegian vioinist, declared his belief in
the story of the discovery narrated in
the saga of Eric the Red and wanted a
monument erected to the Morse discov-
ers by the Scandinavians in the United
States. Still Boston frowned and even
refused IL gift of $4,000 offered for the
purpose by Thomas Appleton.
Then Professor Rasmus 8. Andersen,
Edward Everett Hale, Longfellow and
Lowell gave the movement helpful
shove, and Professor Eben Norton Hors-
ford, guiding himself entirely by the
narrative of the saga, sailed up the
Charles river and into Boston's sacred
Back Bay, and there, near Gerry's land
---o ''iANt ~ VIM 1@ONNiiS lIptiSc III Ndlll-
bridge, came upon the remains of five log
houses, some nearer, some farther from
the water" as the saga said they were
built. That settled it for Boston. Since
the earliest explorers had the good taste
to settle on the Back Bay and were Inc
prc-establishcd ncighbors Of such unim-
peachable people as the Lowells, and
since the babe Snorri, SON of Thorfnn
and Gudrid and grandson of Left the
Lucky, was actually Bacl, Bay born and
according to the saga antedated the
bluest blood of Beacon hill by more than
600 years, why Boston would have to
recognize them after all.
