CHAPTER VI.
MADAME'S FRIGHT.

And we breathed again. The agony
Ct suspense, which Beers pause had
created, passed away. But the night
already seemed to us a week of nights
An age of experience, an aeon Of adj
ventures cut US off-as we lay shak-
ing behind the curtain-from Caylus
and its life, Paris had proved itself
more treacherous than we had ever ex-
pected to find it. Everything and every
one shifted, and wore one face one min
ute and one another. We had come to
save Pavannes' life at the risk of our
own; we found him to be a villain!
Here was Mirepoix owning himself
treacherous wretch, a conspirator
against woman; we sympathized
with him. The priest had come upon
a work of charity and rescue; we
loathed the sound of his voice, and
shrank from him, we knew not why,
seeming only to read a dark secret, a
gloomy threat in each doubtful word
he uttered. He was the strangest eng
ma of all. Why did we fear him? Why
did Nine. de Pavannes, who apparently
had known him before, shudder at
the touch Of his hand? Why did his
shadow come even between her and
her sister, and estrange them, so that
from the moment Pavannes' wife saw
him standing by DANES side, she for
got that the latter had come to save,
and looked on her in doubt and sorrow,
almost with repugnance.
We left the yidame going back to the

I supposed shaking off the momen-
tary impression-that what saw was
innocent and normal Besides, was
thinking what / should say to Pavannes
when L saw HMM what terms
should warn him of his peril, and cast
his perfidy 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 a quarter of a
mile, when my companion, turning into
a slightly wider street, slackened her
speed, and indicated by q 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 stoop to enter,
and as quickly fall back pace. Why ?
In a moment il flashed across nv
mind that we were too late-that the
vidame had been before us.
And yet how quiet il all was.
Then / breathed freely again. / saw
that Croisette had only stepped hack
tc 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.

A MOST NOTABLE FLOP.

One of the most notable and signif-
cant results of the great Democratic
victories all over the country is the
complete change bf front on the COIN
age question of the Louisville Courier.
Journal Promptly upon reading over
the returns, Editor Henry Watterson
threw up his hands, threw down tie
gold standard, and came out fiat
footed, uncompromising and vigorous
ly, as only he can, for the free and
unlimited coinage OF silver at the
ratio of sixteen to one.
The full significance of this great
flop can only be appreciated by those
who have watched the mighty fight
the Courier-Journal made in the late
campaign and in the campaign of 1896
for the continuance of the gold stand
ard. Being the leading journal of
Kentucky, it did much to throw that
State to the Republicans last year.
At the late election, however. the Blue

SECRETARY BLISS,

Representing the ADMINISTRATION, Gives
His Views of the Result in New York.
Washington, November 4.-Secretary
Bliss has returned from New York.
Regarding the elections, he made the
following statement to-day:
"The result in New York is simply
what might have been expected from
the division in the ranks Of the people
who won the victory last year. This
is all there is about it.
when it became impossible to
make a union of forces opposed 10
Tammany, defeat was inevitable. AS
to responsibility, every man will have
to decide that for himself. r
eve hope that before another cleo
ton takes place we will be able to get
these divided forces together l found
quite a number of men who intended
to vote for Gen. Tracy who cast their
vote for Mr.. Low at the last moment
believing that was the only way to de-
feat Mr.. Van Wyck. This feeling ex-
listed ON the part of a great many and
undoubtedly had great influence in
reducing Gen. Tracy's vote"

Very good. Now, if our kindergar-
ten pupil will pay close attention and
concentrate his mighty brain on the
blackboard the Register. will make
good it's claim The gerrymandered
districts are Washington, Madison,
Clay, Union, Centre, Webster and
Richie. If the organ will add to-
gether the voting population of these
districts, as given in it's table above,
it will find it has the sum total Of
1903, and if it will strike the aver
ag by dividing this sum by the num-
Der of districts -seven-it will find
that the average voting population Of
these districts is 1,431, which the or
gan probably meant when it put the
average at 1,450. That is the average
voting population Of these districts at
present, as. it naturally will be AFTER
the county ring has completed its
gerrymander, regardless of changes.
The Register repeats that the organ
has evidently slipped a mental cog
and sent it's wheels whizzing eccentric
fashion as the result of a too great in
tellectual strain in the endeavor to
make a rotten gerrymander appear
clean and honest. The bosses should
be careful of the Intelligencer and not
apply the party whip too vigorously;
the most willing nag will break
down under too great strain. Mean
while, it might not be amiss to supply
the organ with some good, up-to-date
dictionary.

Grass state showed that It had ~
covered It's bearings and it, common
sehse. and the rebuke It gave the gold
bugs, who were led by Watterson, was
SO great and overwhelming that they
have not yet finished counting the
Democratic ballots.
This was quite sufficient for Editor
Watterson. His paper had lost heav-
lily by its advocacy of the gold stand
ard. He read the handwriting on the
wall at glance, and, like wise man,
fastened to get in out of the deluge.
Thus does the British gold standard
lose one of its foremost and most
powerful and able advocates in the
United States.
There is no mistaking this sign.

Lo, THE POOR ORGAN.

The Register says that since the county
was redistricted twenty years ago, there
has been { great increase In population,
but it has been very evenly distributed"
The figures above quoted do not bear out
this statement They snow difference,
for instance, of 700 votes between Wash
ington and Madison districts: a difference
between Clay and Webster of GOO; differ
ence between Webster and Centre of more
than 1000. viii the Register continue to
claim that the population has been very
evenly distnibuted?"- Intelligencer.
Yes; the Register is compelled to
shock the moral and intellectual giant
Of the Intelligencer by repeating the
claim that the percentage of increase
in the distribution of population
among these districts has been
practically equal in the past
twenty years, that the discrepancy is
proportionately no greater than it was
then, Immediately after the redistrict-
ing, that there is no call and no
necessity whatever for new change
Of district lines, that it will be of no
benefit whatever to any one but the
county ringsters, who want to hold
onto the public teat, and, finally, that
the discrepancy will be almost as
great as ever, where it is now most
noticeable, after the county ring has
gotten through with its alleged
equalization of population and area"
For example, under the proposed ger,
rymander, Washington district will
have about 1900, while Richland will
continue to have but AIS; but if it is
insisted that we must not draw COM
parsons between the city and country
districts, we will confne ourselves to
the country alone, and there we find
that after the county ringsters have
finished "equalizing" things, that
Triadelphia will have 1.041, or more
than the combined voting populations
of Richland and Liberty, which have
Ais and 433 respectively. The bosses
saw that the "equalizing" trick would
not be of any political benefit to them
in the country, SO they let the country
alone in all its glorious inequality.
The Register maintains, and we be-
lieve has proven to the satisfaction of
fair-minded men, that there is abso
lutely nothing in the proposed gerry
mander but partisan political trick
to make it as difficult as possible for
the intelligent voters of the county to
vote the discredited ringsters out of
power.

MINER rs / REFEREE.
General Dissatisfaction Expressed Over
His Decision.
The Mistake Which Was Made in
Securing Him-A Challenge on
Behalf Of Mike Farragher-Re-
suits Of Bowling Contests Last
Night-Othcr Sporting Matters.

The Wheeling sports who love fair
play were as a unit yesterday in de-
nouncing Peter Maher for his de-
cision against Buck Stelzer Wednes-
day night. 1t was generally acknowl-
edged that mistake was made in Sc
curing as the referee a. man who is
hand in glove with one of the prin-
cipals. To better understand this, it
might be added that John ]. Quinn is
back of Campbell, and is also Makers
manager and hacker.
Peter Maher may have intended to
be perfectly fair. In that event, he is
grossly incompetent as a referee. 1t ID
more than likely, however, that his
connection with Quinn, and indirectly
with Campbell, influenced his judg-
ment In all events, his decision was
palpably unfair to Stelzer.
Stelzer made a mistake when he
started in to mix up with Campbell
in the fourth round, as up to that time
he had the better of the contest.
With the style of smuggling in which
the men INDUCED in, it was the toss
Of a copper as to which contestant
would finish on top. The match did
not settle the question as to the rela-
tive merits of the two boxers. When
Stelzer was declared out, he should
really have been entitled to a minutes
rest. Campbell also needed rest very
badly at that time. Buck has ex-
cellent staying powers, and a minute
in his corner would have given him
an opportunity to come up in the fifth
round as fresh as his opponent.
There should be another contest be-
tween the men.
Mike Farragher is also anxious for
a go with either Campbell or Stelzer,
as the following challenge indicates:
To the Sporting Editor of the Register.
Sir:-On behalf of Mr. Farragher, OF
Youngstown, O., | will match him
against the winner of Wednesday
