an hour beyond midnight, and after a
hurried breakfast he and Mrs Bryan

Although the absence Of Senator Hill
from the political meeting which fol-
lowed the dinner was commented up
on. the remark made by the candidate
IN his Albany speech, when fresh from
Wolfert's roost, that support OF those
democrats who did not indorse every
plank Of the platform was expected,
was commented upon as significant.
There is a general impression among
those with the candidate that he re.

There are seconds which are minutes;
aye, and many minutes. A man may
die, q man may come into life in such
second. In one of these, it seemed
to me, those two men paused, face to
face; though, in fact, pause was for
one of them impossible. He was be-
tween--and think he knew 1.-THE
devil and the deep sea. Yet he seemed
to pause, while all, even that yelling
crowd below, held their breath. The
next moment, glaring askance at one
anotherlike two dogs unevenly coupled.
he and Beers shot shoulder to Shout
der into the doorway, and in another
jot of time would have been out of
sight. But then, in that instant, saw
something happen. The vidame's hand
flashed up above the priests head and
the cross-hilt of his sheathed sword
crashed down with awful force, and
still more awful passion, on the others
tonsure The wretch went down like
log, without word, without a cry!
Amid q roar of rage from thousand
threats, a roar that might have shaken
the stoutest heart and blanched the
swarthiest cheek, Beers disappeared
within.

nundred hands went up, and confused
angry cries rose with them. The
troopers struck about them, giving
back slowly as they did SO. But their
efforts were in vain. With scream Of
triumph wild torrent Of people broke
through between them, leaving them
stranded; and rushed in heodlong
cataract towards the steps. Beers was
close to us at the time. "S'death?' he
cried, swearing oaths which even his
sovereign could scarce have equalled.
''They will snatch him from me yet, the
hellhounds!"
He whirled his horse round and
spurred him in q dozen bounds to the
stairs at our end Of the gallery. Then
he leaped from him, dropping the
bride recklessly; and bounding up
three steps at time, he ran along the
gallery. Half dozen Of the troopers
about us stayed only to fling their reins
