She Inolcd 1"ildlH TOIiHd GS if seeking q
 means Of escape.
 Rt.mond looked at her with cynical smile, and then hearing Pierre outside the door he coolly sauntered back to his seat. That was neatly done. Reallya q bad character is useful to on" sometimes in escaping from difficulty. Now, if 1 had been ono of your virtuous young men. she would not have been so anx- ious to get away"
 Pierre came in with many excuses for having kept them waiting. But ho said he had been detained by tho arrival of the sous-officier of gendarmes from tho next poste with three of his men, who were now seeing their horses being put up and who would be in presently to their breakfast.
 He is capital company, is the briga- dier," added Pierre in all innocence of heart. I'm sure you'll get on capitally together. It's pity you are not mount ed, too. or you might make a stretch of the road together. They're out on duty and must hurry on as soon as they have had something to eat and rested the horses"
 Pierre's interlocutors did not, however, as may be conceived, share his views as to the good fellowship of gendarmes. Their "reminiscences of stretches of road traversed in company with such gentry were unpleasantly associated with hand cuffs and a stout rope, at one end of which they pursued their unwelcome journey, while the other was attached to the saddlebow oi an individual whom they did not find at all capital com pany.' Nor were they at all reassured when Pierre went on to inform them that Roger, the brigadier, and his men were out after couple of forcats who had escaped from the prison of Lyons, and who, according to the latest intelligence, were supposed to be lurking ill the forest of La Marche. Desperate rufians, too, |" finished Pierre. "The brigadier has or l ders to bring them in alive or dead" So saying. he turned away to attend to something else, when Bertrand, frighten- ed out of all self control, started to his feet as if to run.
 "Infame," muttered his companion, would you ruin us: Sit down, tell you" And he had only just time to force him back into his seat when the door opened, and the brigadier clattered into the room armed to the teeth, his profes- sional eye taking in the room and its oc- cupants at glance.
 Marie, who, sunk in thought, had heard nothing of Pierre's conversation, was reused by the sudden entrance of the armed man and gave him startled look which he did not fail to perceive. But his eye passed on to rest more searching ly on the two men, whose appearance did not at all please him. Ut seems to me have seen them before" he said to l himself as he looked at them more in- quiringly than they found at all agree ! able, for they at once recognized him as the gendarme who had inspected them and their passports so suspiciously the previous day.

THE SOUTHERN POLE.
REVIVAL OF INTEREST IN ANTARCTIC
 EXPLORATION.

nr. Cook Proposes to Invade the Southern
 Seas and ;.t Least to Make Important ob-
 servations if He Does Not Succeed In
 Reaching the Pole.
 The subject of antarctic exploration, after lying dormant for half n century is again interesting the attention of geographers, and an attempt will soon be made to explore the frigid and storm swept regions within the antarctic circle Of this vast area of S.OO0,OOO square miles comparatively nothing is known, although Dr. John Murray, at the re cent antarctic meeting of the Royal Geographical society, stated that the south polar continent may have an area of 4,O0C, ,0O0 square miles. Though this is conjecture, based upon the fact that the dredging operations of the Challenger in antarctic waters gave evidence of con tinental rather than of oceanic lands, geographers would not be surprised should it prove true.
 The north polar region has been wis ited so often by navigators and scientists | that the geography of its surroundings is fairly well known, and it is possible that within a few years the pole will be l reached and its topography charted. But so utterly isolated is the south pole, so in- tense the cold, so vast and tempestuous the waters that surround it, that fearless ! indeed must be the adventurer who would solve the mysteries of that frozen solitude.
 Early in the present century few dis coverles were made, and later, about 1885 q general interest in antarctic explora. | tion became manifest. Lieutenant Wilkes commanded an deliberately fitted out ex. petition for the United States govern, rent, while England and France sent out similar expeditions, commanded re spcctively by Captain James Ross and Admiral Dumont d'Urvelle.

 No" replied the officer shortly. "You cannot leave here'at present. Till the inquiry is finished no one can be all lowed to leave the house. We now await the arrival of the woman who slept here last night, and of whom my men have gone in search"
 As he finished speaking noise was heard outside, and presently Marie was brought in by one of the gendarmes.
 She had been overtaken before she had gone any great distance. Indeed. not having any reason to think she would be followed, she had sat down no lnent by the wayside to rest, and there the gendarme had found her. He had refused to tell her why she IS thus brought back or of what she IS accused. The name of her terrible h ;- band, so recently spoken by the sinister looking stranger, had filled her with ter TOT. and she feared he was in some way again about to cause her injury or un- happiness, or most likely both. The poor creature trembled in every limb, and the mental agony she was suffering showed itself in every feature.

 "Now, Pierre" he said, ''hurry with breakfast and don't forget some ham. l know of old how good your ham is. And tell my men to hurry with the horses much time to lose"
 Pierre hurried off to execute his orders, while the brigadier, still keeping an eye on the two men, took out his pipe and began to prepare it for his after break fast smoke. Marie, who had been watch ing for an opportunity to leave the room unobserved, now got up and slipped quietly out, much to the relief of Re mond, who felt that her absence vastly improved the chances of himself and his companion. So much so that having finished his breakfast he began to hum a tune, crossing his legs as he lay back in a chair filling his pipe and looking at the brigadier with an air of easy assur- ance which took Bertrand's breath away and nearly made him choke with sheer terror as he swallowed his last mouth ful.
 Just then Pierre returned, bringing the ham and followed by the other gen. darmes-four of them. They all sat down to table and proceeded to discuss their breakfast with excellent appetite The brigadier asking Pierre in low tone where those men had come from indicating tho pair in the corner by q slight movement of his elbow, Pierre informed him that they were strangers, who had slept that night at Les Bons Amis, and that he knew nothing further about them, except that the tall one was Q most amusing chap and Il beautiful singer.

Remond, nothing abashed at this want of appreciation of himself and his per formance, finished his stave, lighted his pipe, remarked to his companion with a careless air that they must soon be think ing of starting. and that they had better l go and put their things together while M. Pierre was making out their little bill, which they would settle when they came down. So saying and begging Pierre to be sure and not forget what they had had the evening before, he sa. luted the company with much grace and left the room, preceded by his companion who could hardly walk from sheer terror
