patiently enough = and awkwardly
enough, too, | daresay-by the door,
while they talked on in subdued tones.
Nevertheless, ! felt heartily glad when
at length, the discussion ending, mad
anne came back to me. Ioffered her my
arm to help her over the wooden foot
Of the side gate. She laid her hand on
it, but she stood STILL

stopped. Naturally l looked at her,
and our eyes met. Hers brown and
beautiful, shining in the light Of the
lamp overhead, looked into mine. Her
lips were half parted, and one fair tress
of hair had escaped from her hood.
IN. de Caylus, will you do me n favor?'
she resumed, softly, "a favor for which
| shall always be grnteful?"
| sighed. Madame" | said, earnest

ITO see M. de Pavannes?"
"Yes."
l was conscious that she was looking
at me with eyes of douot, almost of
suspicion.
"Why? Why?" she asked, with evil
dent surprise "You lave rcstorcd--
and nearly frightened me TO death in
doing this wife to her home; what
more do you want with HIM, most val
iuut knight-errant?'

would have told her all and been
thankful, but the priest was within
hearing-or barely out of it; and | had
seen too much pass between him and
Bezers to be willing to say anything
before him,
"You must see NJ. de Pavannes?" she
repeated, gazing at me.

"Then you shall That is exactly
what | am going to help you to d."
she exclaimed. "lIe is not here. That
is what is the matter. He went out
at nlghtfall seeking news of his wife,
and crossed the river, the coadjutor
says, to the Faubourg st. German.
Now it is of the utmost importance
that he should return before morning

"But is he not here?" l said, finding
all my calculations at fault. "You are
sure of it, madame?"
"Quite sure" she answered, rapidly.
"Your brothers will have by this time
discovered the fact. Now, M. de Cay
lus, Pavannes must be brought here be-
fore morning, not only for his wife's
sake-though she will be wild with
anxiety-but also"

tary impression--that what | saw was
innocent and normal. Besides, / was
thinking what should say to Pavannes
when | saw HMM what terms l
should warn him of his peril, and east
his perfdy in his teeth.
We had hurried along in this way
and in absolute silence, save when some
obstacle or pitfall drew from us an ex-
clamation-for about quarter of q
mile, when my companion, turning into
a slightly wider street, slackened her
speed, and indicated by E gesture that
we had arrived. A lamp hung over
the porch, to which she pointed, and
showed the small side gate half opened.
We were close behind the other three
now. ! saw Croisette s.oop to enter,
and as quickly fall back pace. Why?
In n moment II flashed across my
mind that we were too late-that the
yidame had been before us.
And yet how quiet It all was.
Then ] breathed freely again. l saw
that Croisettc had only stepped back
to avoid some one who was coming out
the coadjutor, in fact. The moment
the entrance was clear, the lad shot in,
and the others after him, the priest
taking no notice of them, nor they of
him.

hall behind Agent NJ. j. Young and
Foreman G. j. Dempsey. They were
addressed by w. G Besler, superin-
tendent of the Rock Island and st.
Louis division of the Burlington
railway. He gave the men some
good wholesome advice on how to
succeed in life, which is full of evils,
ever ready to ensnare the un-
wary. Mr.. Besler told the men
to be Industrious, sober, economical.
honorable and faithful, both to their
God and fellowmen, and there was
little fear but what they would sue

Bruner. who is state secretary of the
railroad department of the associa-
ton. and by Daniel Wright, c., b.

The case which occupied the largest part
OF the Courts time ana interest was that
Of David Donlu who keeps saloon near

charge was preferred by Officer Minor
of the First District Sunday morning
this officer. who was on the Lookout LOT

time around Douatfs place, and inal.

would not DO police duty for some time.
After further words Minor told Donau
10 walk out in the street. and this the lat-

ponau told the officer that if De would
Jay aside his badge and buttons be would
go out with him and settle the matter
