Msrgot, who, In spite OF herself, uttered
stified cry, The sepoy, with all his former
suspicion returned, without giving sign
beforehand of what he intended to do, sud-
denly caught hold of Margots veil and
tore II from her face.
The trick was discovered, for Margot's
face had not been s. ned In any way, and
there before the scpOy stood, rs he plainly
saw, "nem sahibP'
In moment he drew the knife which
was in his belt and flung himself upon

thrown down on his back, with the sepoy's S

In spite of bad wound he had received he

The trooper had even got above his foe,
when down from its position, disturbed by
the scuffie no doubt, came heavy barrel

his grasp of the sepoy, the trooper lay
there unconscious.
The sepoy, getting from beneath his
still adversary, made toward Margot who
had meanwhile broken the lamp and was
holding the short candle end In her hand.
Back, backp I" she cried. "Touch me
but with a finger and will fling the can
die into the powder"
The sepoy saw that the candle was
within few inches Of the barrel which
stood by the ladder, and having no wish
to be destroyed at the hand of woman,
he stood irresolute. Margot saw her ad-
vantage and acted upon 1t.
"Go up the ladder and open the trap.

with her disengaged hand. The sopoy re-

the powder.
"Go, and at once, orr
"Fate is against me-" answered the Sc
poy. Sullenly he went up the ladder and
flung the trapdoor open, to be immediate
ly seized by one of the little garrison.
Down the ladder swarmed several troop
ers, Lieutehant Walton leading the way.
To every ones surprise they found only
white woman there, while upon the stone
flags lay Mafferty disguised as Hindoo.
Margot's strange tale was told, and the
little garrison learned that woman s
courage had saved them. Margot was in.

Giraud, honest fellow, before he was
shot as a traitor, confessed that he had
planned the carrying off of Margot and
the undermining of the outpost.
Long after, when the siege of Lucknow
was thing of the past, Margot and Lieu

well everything went on that memorable

Hector Malot.

NJ. Hector Malot who passes for great
author, announces that, having made a
fortune, he has retired from literature
He says that no one but novelist knows
how ardnous is the work Of writing nov.
els, and, while he is persuaded that his
Imagination Is as active as ever, he wants
rest and the opportunity to enjoy life He
has worked hard having studied the the.
ory of heat to write one book, spent three
months in the cotton factories for another,
and he tells US, even spent the same
length Of time exploring the ruins of
Rome He chose his own subjects and
INDUCED his own tastes and let no editor,
not even NJ. Buloz, browbeat him He is
certainly entitled TO his rest, but there is
something disquieting In his remark that
he has In his desk sketches for ten more
novels and plots for others In his head.
That retirement has somewhat the air of
positively final last appearance. New

Beyond the sway of stormy weather,
Untouched by shock Of mortal jars,
Where two clasp hands and stand together
And conquer darkness like the stars,
Whilst the sweet claims OF me and thee
Wake myriad strains of harmony
Divine, diviner harmony.
So, Kadmos, take thy Theban bride,

But us the gods have not denied
The sweetness which their poets sung,
For in our garden Love will stray

A thousand flowers that make IL gay
And this fair morning culls rose
Bound in bright chain, yet ever free,
The two link in harmony

1t is Il safe estimate that 10 per cent.
of the Young Mems Christian associa-
tion members, especially the younger
element, are furnished their member
snip by parents who are in well-to-do
circumstances. For 81 per year these
boys are given privileges which cost
the association about si3, the differ
ence being contributed by charitable
men and women. Based upon this con-
dition it does not seem unreasonable to
suggest that the parents referred TO
should subscribe to the present fund.
What Money Is Needed For.
