They reached the Saupiquet's gate. The
horse stopped. CASTOR was savedi
Or rather he was lost! Behind the curl
ously wrought gate his eyes, fevered by a
terror more horrible than the fear of death,
vaguely made out rose colored gown and
behind it more massive silhouette.
The two women stepped forward curl
ously, but with instructive distrust. For
tunately Hortense was nearsighted. AS
for the unhappy Prebois, what could he
do? To dismount was out of the question.
In such situation horse is in some
sense a garment. You remember Adah
Menken in the role of Mazeppa. Despair
drove the captain to desperate measures.
Behind him crowd was already forming.
Astonishment began to give way to indig-
nation. In the back of the garden he saw
his orderly polishing some harness.
'Moreau!' shouted the officer in voice
that sounded scarcely human.
Mime. de Saupiquet fled, dragging her
daughter after her. The orderly came run
ming up, took in the situation at glance,
rushed after blanket, and the Numidian
horseman was transformed into ar Indian
hunter in his poncho! Thus accoutered he
entered the garden for the last time in his
life.
That afternoon the Vicomte de Prebois
left for Paris on weeks leave tsat was
soon extended to a long furlough. When
he reappeared at La Roche, the liStle lake
was covered with ice, the Saupiquets had
cancelled the lease, their daughter, now
become Nine. la Jarrie, was with her hus-
band in western city, and horseaies
were no longer TO be feared. From the

raigned in the Yorlsvllle Court to-day,

In front of the house were a number
Of young girls and women running ex-
cltedly about shrieking at the top of
their voices. All appeared to be too
much excited to give a connected ac-
count.
Rath yanked the man to a sitting
position and shook him until he stopped
his noise. The policeman then learned
from the girls that they were sitting
on the stoop when the negro came
| staggering along and, without the slight
est warning, dived head foremost
among them.
AS the policeman was leading him to
the station-house, a couple of girls APP
preached Rath and told him that John
son had Rugged them and some other
women just before he made his dive
among the girls on the stoop.
johnson worked all day and then got
drunk. He said he was married and

fore, and promised to behave himself
in the future. He was discharged with

Lizzie McCall-Wall, whose stage ca

one, has decided to make matters lively

From an early hour this morning she
was closeted in the law Office of Howe

A Young Woman Entertained De-
tectlves and Was Arrested.
She Claimed to Be a Respectable
Music Teacher.
Attempted to Stab Herself When
Taken Into Custody.

young woman from West Forty
third street. and one of the best looking
prisoners seen in Yorkville Court in a
long time, was taken to the court by
detectives from the West Forty-seyenth
street station, this morning, charged
with keeping a disorderly house and
violating the Excise law.
The young woman gave her name az
Nettie Vedder, and insisted that she
was respectable music teacher and
professional dancer. The detectives adj
init that the young woman is an excep-
tionally good dancer and musician, but
they have serious doubts as to her re-
spectablity.
The first meeting of the police with
Nettie was odd. Capt Haughey and
Detective Common were walking down
West Forty-third street the other day
when they were accosted by the woman.
She smiled and then presented her card
which read:
Ackerly, music teacher, 21s West
Forty-third street"
She gave the two men a warm invi-
tation to visit her at any time. Conner
said he was lightweight prlze-fghter,
and she replied, he says, that she liked
sporty boys.
Last Thursday evening Common
dropped In to see the music teacher.
She was evidently pleased to see him.
Disappearing for little while, she
returned dressed in pair Of white silk
tights. Then she danced for Conner,
who admits that the performance was
very fine. The dance had not finished
when Detective Delaney dropped in, as
II by accident. Common and ne failed to
recognize each other. Delaney suggesed
that he would like to have something to
drink, II there was anything in the
house. Nettie responded with three bot
ties Of beer at 81 per bottle.
That satisfied the detectives. They
paid for the beer and went away. Last
night. en- the evidence thus procured,
the detectives went to the West Forty

Nettie learned that she was under ar
