and his evil heart were moving him to
an atrocious deed.

But we had no great time for thought,
as a few steps brought us to the door
of the hut, where Nicholas and his
men stood at the salute with scared
faces. Another step took US in, and
de Rome, with curling lip, cast a
glance around the room, at the emptied
wine TASKS and the dice, which latter
one of the men had doubtless picked
up, and placed in a small heap beside
the rouleau I had won. But chairs,
table, wine TASKS, and dice were all
the room contained, and there was
reason enough for the extra length of
visage that Master Nicholas and his
knaves had pulled.
II do not see the prisoners" said de
Rome quietly.
1t was not likely, I thought to my
self. They were gone-not a doubt of
that On the floor, near my feet, were
some cut cords, and, lying on them,
a knot of black and white ribbon, that
had fallen there as if by chance. L had
seen it last at the shoulder Of madame's
dress, and something told me it was
not there by accident. There was, at
any rate, no hope for me from the
prisoners, buta g. sudden impulse l
could not understand, nor, indeed, did
l try to, urged me to get the knot of
ribbon, so, STOPPING low, picked up the
bow and the cut cords, and, with a
careless movement, flung the latter on

escaped, your excellency."
And with them your explanation,

do his bidding, and I adjusted my at

sound of horses hoofs. and as we

curious light came into de Gomeron'S
eyes as he looked at her, and she
shrank back at the Sergeant's words
and action, whilst the old man strained
at the cords that bound his wrists till
the lines of the blue veins stood high
out on his forehead. The soldiers had
shown madame this kindness, that she
was unbound; but her hood had fallen
back, lOosening in it's fall mass of

in anger.

light enough to see her color come
and go. "Messieurs! That man." she
made little gesture of infinite disdain

she flashed back at him, a red spot
rising on each cheek. "MeSsieurS,
she went on, you are gentlemen, are
you not? You will let us go. Surely
the Holy League wars not with women
and old men,"
The mention of the League stirred
her companion and he gave tongue.
"The Holy league" he exclaimed with
a savage scorn. Madame, though we
stand delivered unto these sons of Be
lial, must speak, for my heart is full.
Yea! Shall my lips be sealed before
the enemies of the Lord! The holy
league! Ha! ha! There is no holy

So saVagely prophetic was his tone;
so fierce a glance did the bound Hugue-

cinders any reply he might have had
ready and reduced him to speechless
fury.

the expression in his eyes.
She made no effort to take the chair
he offered but burst out passionately:

on de Gomeron's face, and I saw that

that recalled to my mind the stories

De Rone's sharp command broke the
thread of my thoughts and ended all

horses and splashed through the ford

post On the other bank a picket chal-
lenged, and, giving them the word, we
rode in the direction of the even white
line of the camp. A few strides more

CHAPTER II
M. de Rome Cannot Read Cypher.
My first thought on leaving de Rome
was to make my way direct TO the quar-
| terS of the staff, where l felt sure Of
welcome and accommodation for the
rest Of the night. These lay a hundred
toises or so from the generals pavilion,
| facing from me, but as l came near to
| them I saw a pennon of light streaming
| from the partly open door of the larg-
| est tent, and from within burst a chorus
| of voices singing an old chanson of
| Guienne.

worse than useless to attempt to find
my lackey Jacques, whom l had left
behind in the camp with my belongings
when 1 went on to the outposts. This
man, may note, was faithful servant
| of our house, rough of manner, perhaps,
but one who could be trusted to the
end of his sword; and it was annoying
to know that any search for him would
be useless, as l had q message or so
to send to Auriac, in the event of the
worst happening. But resigning my

strated time and again that the coast
country can produce as fine specimens
of sugar beets as can be grown any
where. SO far as The Tribune is in
formed the beets heretofore have only
been utilized in the feeding Of stock,
and no attempt has been made to turn
them into sugar.

attached particular importance to the
matter of irrigation, by which, IL used
intelligently, two and perhaps three
crops a year could be grown. He was

land in Sonora, Mexico, and thought
that the same means employed there
could be successfully used here, par
ticularly as an abundance Of water
for irrigating purposes could be Sc
cured by means of artesian wells.

Dissolve 30 grains Of borax in one
ounce of rose water and orange water

this lotion about three times a day
letting it dry on.
When the redness of the nose arises
from a kind of congestion it should
be washed in warm water only on go

a cold in the head will often pro
duce a red and inflamed condition of
the nose. A little cold cream should
then be applied to the sore parts. The
following is an easily prepared recipe
for cold cream: Get half pound or
the very bet lard, put it in basin,
pour on it boiling water, and when
cold drain it off. Repeat this process
three times; then after quite freeing
the lard from water beat it to cream
with a fork and scent it with essence
of bergamOt.
The nostrils should never be touched
with the fingers. To wash them, a
little hot water should be shifted up
and then elected.
