lie had thrown off his doublet and was
in his shirt sleeves, which were rolled
up to his elbows, and Nicholas and the
men stood little on one side, utterly
forgetful of the prisoners, and eager as
bloodhounds to witness the coming
fight. 1t took but half a minute
to make myself ready, and borrowing
poniard from Nicholas to help me to
parry, took my position. Then there
was an angry little clash and our blades
met, looking for all the world like two
thin streaks of fire in the moonlight.
We were both sober enough now, be-
sides being in deadly earnest, and de
Gomeron began to change tactics and
attack in his turn. At this point a cloud
obscured the moonlight, and my OPP
ponent, springing back, called out:
"Hodl hold till the cloud passes! We
cannot see."
"But ! can, messieurs," answered a
deep voice to our right. "What means

white line of drawn sword shining in
its hand, stepped between us, coming

passed, and the moon was again bril-

Dc Gomeron observed this, and laughed
under his heavy black mustache.
Madame, but there are some things
which have no price! And there is no
ransom you could name which would
tempt Adam de Gomeron to part with
his prisoners-with one of them at any
rate. You are no spy, | know; such
eyes as yours were never made to count
the strength of battalions. As for your

his grasp, and her cheeks atame,

! lips. 1t was in me to follow up my
blow by passing my sword through the
man, so mad was l in my fury; but
| luckily for him Nicholas hung on my
arm and saved the villains life. He
righted himself at once, and passing his
hand across his mouth, spoke to me
quite coolly and collectedly, but with
livid features:
I'VE finish this outside, sir; follow
me-" and picking up his rapier, which
lay on the table, where he had thrown it
on the entrance of the prisoners, de
Gomeron stepped out of the door. In
the excitement of the moment the men
poured after him, and was the last to
follow. 1t came to me like lightning
that the prisoners were unguarded, and
slipping my dagger from its sheath, as
went out, l thrust its haft into
madame's hand, and l saw that she un-
derstood from the thanks in her eyes.

remedy to several persons, among

Some of the symptoms of kidney dis

headaches, nervousness, frequent
thirst, hot dry skin, shortness Of

of the feet and ankles, loss of flesh,

you have any of these symptoms you
should lose no time in treating them,
