'You dare to come here to tell me of it!'
exclaimed Mr.. Warren in low, tense voice,
don't you know that though am priso-
ner 1 can expose you and have you locked
up?"
Certainly" answered Wanga, "but you
won't do it," and he chuckled contentedly.
Mr. Warren was already wondering why
ne did not call out to the keepers and be-
seech them to hold this man until formal
charges could be made against him, and at
the sound of the chuckle he started as with
a disagreeable memory. 1t was not until
much later that he recalled what seemed so
familiar in the sound. Then it came upon
him as fresh impression, that triumphant
chuckle in the thicket near the ruined cabin
at sunrise of the morning before when he
had gone up to search In the ashes for
diamonds. At that time the chuckle had
not disturbed the tenor of his thoughts, but
the impression had been made, ana the
repetition of the sound awakened it to life.
Agitated as he was beneath the profound
despair that had come upon him. Mr.. War
rem vet saw Gle arly that this black man had
a purpose in coming to him, purpose that
it would not be well to thwart by hasty
action, or until it had been made known.

me- he said bitterly, speak up, what is
Your daughter has come to no HARM"

an end appeared as an ordinary device.
"There is no pretension about it. 1t is a
fact"
How do know?"
"You do not want to know, Mr.. Warren.
The father Of that beautiful young lady
does not care to have the proof that she
is held as a hostage, except it be in her
safe return to her home"

Listen, then. There are two Of us-Sam

TRIAL OF A MARQUIS.
Attention in France Directed t.
Sensational Cnse.

Attention in France Directed to a
Sensational Case.
The trial of the Marquis de Nayve, who
is charged with the murder Of his step-son
in 1885, began at Bourges, France, yester-
day. The case is sensational one, and
has attracted considerable attention. The
city is full of strangers from every coun-
try in Europe and also present are some
persons from America, who have come to
witness the trial.
The Marquis de Nayve has been In prison
since July, 1894, on the charge of murder
ing the natural son of his wife, born pre-
vious to their marriage.
The marquis was wild in his young days,
dissipated large fortune and then mar
ried a rich heiress, Mile. Marie de Bau-
treuil, whose son he is charged with MUIR
dering by throwing him from the cliffs
along the Red Torrente road into the Bay
of Naples, after having previously stunned
the boy, hitting him over the head with a
heavy instrument.
The marquis was denounced by his wife,
but his friends assert that the lad, who
was of a respondent nature committed
suicide by jumping from the cliffs and that
the marquise had concocted the story to
rid herself Of her husband in order that she
might marry priest who had been the
boys tutor, If not his father.

TON.
When the officer had gone Mr.. Warren
looked inquiringly at his visitor.
You'd like to know something about
your daughter, wouldn't you?" asked
Wanga.
Mr. Warren started and grasped the iron
bars that separated him from the black
man SO violently that the room itself SEEM
ed to shake.
you took her, you scoundrel!' he cried.
Wanga sprang lightly back at the instant
of Mr. Warren's outbreak, displaying the
agility of cat in his movements and the
cats softness in the noiseless way he land
ed. Then he stood still and laughed quietly.
IT'S Just as well the bars are between
u.s. he said.
Mr. Warren's rage was as brief as ne saw
that it was impotent. 1t was followed by
a dull, heavy feeling of despair. He knew
that this fellow must be the tramp whom
Will and Elsie had described, and he could
not think that the possibility of mercy lay
behind those cleaning eyes. He waited In
silence for the black man to announce his
errand.
