SYNOPSIS.

Chapter I-D'Auriac, commanding out
post where scene is laid, tells the story
De Gomeron has been appointed by Gen
de Rome to examine into a charge made
against him. Nicholas, a sergeant, brings
in two prisoners, man and woman. who
are from the kings camp at lie Fere.
D'Aurlac, ,angered by insulting manner Of de
,Gomeron toward the woman, strikes him.
duel follows, and during the commotion
the prisoners escape. De Rome happens on
the disorderly scene, and d'Auriac, upon
giving his parole not to attempt escape,
hears this remarkable sentence: "To-mor-
you must die on the field. Win or
lose. If [ catch you at the close of the day,
/ will hang you as high as Haman."
Chapter II-D'Auriac next morning takes
his place as usual on de Rone's staff In
the course of his ride over the field he saves
the life Of Nicholas, the sergeant, who, a
victim of de Gomeron's malice, is found In
imminent danger Of almost instant death.
Chapter III-After the battle in which
King Henry utterly routs de Rone'S forces,
d'Auriac, lying severely wounded, sees
the forms of a man and woman moving
under cover of the night among the dead
and wounded. They find a goldan collar
or de Leyvas corpse, and Babettte stabs
Mauginot (her partner to gain possession
of the prize. After this hideous scene
Henry with retinue, among whom is the
fair prisoner who had escaped from the
hand of de Gomeron, rides over the field.

TOYS OF THE POOR.
Herein is n Pathetic Little Contrast
Between Two Children and
Their Play.
[To BE Continued

Behind tho grated gate of large gar
den, at the end of which appeared the
whiteness of a country house splendid
in the sun, a handsome child was stand
ing, dressed with coquettsh simplicity.
Luxury, freedom from care, the ha-
bitual sight of wealth. gives such
beauty to these children that you would
believe them to be made Of other clay
than that which forms the children of
moderate circumstances or proverty.
BY his side on the grass was costly
plaything, as spick and span as its own
er; vanished, gilded, clothed in pur
pie robe, covered with plumes and glass
beads. But the child paid no attention
to his favorite plaything. This IS what
he was looking at:
On the other side of the gate, in the
road, among thistles and nettles, there
was another tot, dirty, pitiful, face
smooched with SCOT, pariah child. An
impartial eye would discover his beauty
if, as the eye of a connoisseur divines
an ideal picture under a coating of
coach varnish, he should clean it of the
disgusting oxidation of extreme poverty
and neglect.
Through the symbolical barrier sep.
arating two worlds, the open road and
the country house, the poor child
showed to the rich child his own play
thing, which the latter examined greed
lily as a rare and unknown thing. Now,
this toy, which the dirty urchin teased,
shook about and polled at in wire box,
was live rat. The parents, through
economy, no doubt, had taken this play
thing from life itself.
And the two children laughed in
brotherly fashion, and their teeth were
of an equal whiteness.-Boston Jour

A PAIR OF WRECKS,
Series of Fatalities on a Railroad in
ELK COSnty. Pa.

Dubois, Pa, Dec. 10.-Three persons
killed, three wounded. and the moth
er of one victim dying of the shock
caused by her sons death, is the re-
suit of two wrecks on the Clarion
River railroad near Portland Mills. in
Elk county. A train loaded with pulp
wood was being hauled down the
steep grade near Portland Mills and
the rear end was left on top of the
hill, owing to the slippery tracks.
While the front end was descending,
the rear of The train became unman-
ageable and dashed down the hill,
crashing into the front section. Both
sections were wrecked and Brakeman
Thomas Breshelman. on the front sec
ton, was killed. An engine with a
crew of five men was ordered back
to clear up the wreck.
The work was completed and while
the train was returning the engine
jumped the track and rolled over an
EN- bankment. Of the crew on board
at the time the engineer, Harry Car
man. was fatally injured and died a
few minutes after being eXtricated.
Foreman Daniel Myers was rescued
and has since died and three brake
men, Sewers, CassidA. and Mcknight,
were all badly injured When Car
mans invalid mother was acquainted
of her sons death. she lapsed into un-
consciousness and her death is mo-
mentarily expected.

Italian war-France will be all plow-
shares, now that the king is king"
I caught him by the sleeve. Tell
me-" | said, weakly, 'who is madame,
where is Bidache?"
Madame is Claude de Rochemars,
widow of Antoine de la TremouiIle, and
heiress of Bidache, Pelouse and quar-
ter of the Cevenncs-Bidache. Where
YOU go is her chateau in Normandy.
Madame" he went on, with a ghost of a
smile on his thin lips, sis Kindness her
self. Now, no more talk for to-day"
Then he went and l lay back, as sore
in mind as in body.
In day or so madame's steward of
Bidache arrived, bearing a letter from
her, in which she placed her Norman
chateau at my disposal until | was well
again. They moved me here by easy
stages, carrying me in litter, as | was
too weak to ride, and when / came to
Bidache, and was borne to my apart
ments, imagine my joy and surprise at
seeing there my knave Jacques, whom
[ thought to be either dead or home
again at Auriac, and not only Jacques,
but hanging on the wall my own sword,
ard the sight of it was like meeting a
tried friend. Later on Jacques in
formed me that after the rout he had
made the best of his way back to the old
rock and stayed there, hoping for news
of me. At last it came with orders for
him to hurry to Bidache, and he did so,
bearing with him such things as he
thought / needed, as we'll as hundred
pistoles of rents. AS for the sword. II

madame's orders to keep for me. had
come to a low ebb by this, and the
money was trebly welcome, as it would
furnish me with a couple of horses, and
leave a round sum besides when / left
Bidache, which | meant to do as soon as
ever / was fit to travel. And now the
time had come for me to depart, and
was to start that evening. For 40
crowns Jacques had picked up couple
of stout cobs at EvreuX, and we meant
to leave an hour or so before sundown
and make for Paris, where, if the king
he would stay-if not, the world was
wide. / was as far as ever from un-
derstanding the strange message that
NJ. d'Ayen had delivered to me, and felt
myself safe in going to Paris, as gen
eral amnesty covered all our sins of re-
bellion--so they were called now.
SO absorbed was | in these thoughts
that I did not mark the rapid approach
of a horseman, nor indeed was | aware
of his presence until, when within few
yards from me, he reined in his plung-
ing beast, whose bit and neck were

POWDER MILLS EXPLODE
Three Men Killed and Eight Injured
Three of the latter Way Die.

Wilmington, Del, Dec. 10.-Three
men were killed and eight injured
three of them probably fatally, by
the explosion of a press mill and
four grinding mills in the Dupont
powder works yesterday. The dead
are:
Robert McIlhenny. 45 years old,
married, leaves widow and four chill
dren.
John Wright, 50 years old, married.
John Moore, 40 years old, married,
leaves widow and five children.
Immediately after the explosion
every Wilmington physician who
could be communicated with was sum-
moned to the scene of the explosion,
to render aid to the wounded. The eX-
plosion occurred in the press room
of the Hagley works. \ car load of
powder that was being wheeled into
the room was accidentally overturned
and the car wheels running into the
loose powder caused a friction that set
the powder afre. The explosions
quickly followed, all the powder that
was in the press room going off in
five successive detonations.

Roers Defeated by Tribcsmen.

London, Dec. 1O.-The Cape Town
correspondent of the Mail says the
campaign instituted by the Boer gov
ernment against Chief McPefu. of the
Magatos tribe. proved complete
fiasco. The chief outmaneuvered the
Beers and is now in a splendidly forti-
fed mountain stronghold where he
has assembled a large army. Gen.
.Joubert. the commander of the Boer
expedition sent against the chief, is
returning to Pretoria The Beers have
been guilty of wholesale butchery of

white with foam, and lifting his hat re-
spectfully, inquired if l was the Cheva-
Ter d'Auriac, and on my reply eX-
claimed: madame will be overjoyed.
We heard that you had already left
Bidache, and my lady arrives within
the hour from EvreuX-pardon, mon
sieur, / go to give the news to the
household" and saluting again the
lackey dashed onwards toward the
chateau.
So I would meet her within the hour.
see if my doublet set Alright and my
points were tied. Then l thought |
would go back to the house and meet
her there, and, as / did this ! looked
at the fall of the plumes in my hat, and
finally laughed aloud at myself for a
coXcomb, took my heart in both hands
and marched onwards toward the gates.
The porter had already been warned,
and on my coming | found him there
and a crowd of yokels, all in state
of high excitement.
"It is three years since madame was
here, monsieur" the honest fellow ex-
claimed to me as l came up, three
years, and now she comes without q
word of warning-hola! There they are,
and there is madame on the jennet she
purchased from NJ. le Due de Sully-he
was but the Sieur de Rosny then-hola!
Hola!"
The crowd joined with him in his
cheers, although as yet the party was
far off-not so far, however, that |
could not easily make out the graceful
figure on the jennet, and in the two
riders who accompanied madame, apart
from the half dozen servants behind, !
recognized to my surprise d'Ayen, and
guessed that the gray beard in the tall
crowned broadbrimmed hat, with the
sad-colored cloak over his shoulders,
was 10 other than the old Huguenot,
whose zeal had outrun his discretion,
on the night when l saved madame
from great peril.
This guess of mine / hazarded aloud
to the gatekeeper, who replied:
"Ycs, NJ. lie Cheyalier, that is Maitre
Palm, madame's chaplain, and he was
also chaplain to M. lie Compte before he
died"
when was it that NJ. lie Comptc died ~
LET me see, monsieur-ah, yes-four
years ago, in Paris, at the time of the
plague. He was a great lord, as you
may know, and brother of the duke,
who they say has quarreled with the
king because of his conversion, and of
Nine. Charlotte, the princess of Conde,
who lives in the Rue Grenlle."
As madame lifted her head our eyes
met, and, raising my hat, advanced

CHAPTER III.-CoNTINUED.

was learning the lesson that love
comes on man like a thief in the night,
and. unconsciously to myself, madame
had climbed on pinnacle in my heart,
and the thought that | had deceived
myself in my estimate of her moved me
to sudden anger, and stilled the cry for
help that was rising to my lips-l would
have no help from her and her friends.
In the meantime the king was busily
engaged in writing his dispatch on
small tablet, which he rested on the
pommel of his saddle.
As he was thus engaged, a little shriv-
eled old man pushed his horse beside
Nine. de Beaufort, and said in mincing
tones as hard as steel: Come, madame,
your brother has met a soldiers death,
and no Frenchman can hope for bet
ter-or he is safe and well somewhere.
Dry your tears, and rejoice at the glo-
rious victory we have Won" The duch-
ess made some answer in a broken voice,
and the king, hearing her, stopped
writing and put his tablet away.
"D'Ayen speaks rightly, though he
speaks from the head. God keep us
from more scenes like this. AS for your
brother, | will not rest till there is news
of him; but now we can do no more.
Come, then-open your pretty eyes and
we will go-there is much on hand"
