CHAPTER LV.
The Q Milk.

Darkly and swiftly the autumn night
descended upon Machecoul. In the streets
OF the little feudal bourg, there were few
passers by, and such as there were clutched
their cloaks tighter round them and scurricd
on. Or II they raised their heads, 1t was
only to take a hasty, fearful glance at the
vast bulk Of the castle looming imminent
above them.
From a window high in the central
keep a red light streamed out and when
the clouds flew low, strange dilated shadows
were wont to be cast upon the rolling vapor.
Sometimes smoke, acrid and heavy, beloved
forth and wild cries OF pain and agony
fioated down to chill the hearts and silence
the footballs of the home-returning rustics
and burghers trembling in their beds.
But none dared to question in public the
doings of the great and puissant lord of all
the country of Retz. 1t Jared not well with
him who even looked too much at The
the things which were done.
The night was yet darker up aloft in the
castle of Machecoul itself. In the sacristy
good Father Blouyn, with an air of resigned
reluctance, was handing over to an emissary
of his master the moulds in which the tall
altar candles for the chapel of the Holy In
nocents were usually compacted. And as
Clerk Henriet went out with the mOulds he
took a long look through a private spy
hole at the lads OF the choir who were Sit
ting in the hall apportioned to their use.
They were supposed TO be busy with their
lessons and indeed some few were porting
over their books with some show of studious
absorption. But for the most part they
were playing cards and dominoes, or, In the
absence Of the master, sticking intimate
pins and throwing about indiscriminate ink,
according to the immemorial use of the
choir boy.
Clerk Henriet counted them twice over
and looked carefully to see what did the
young Scots lad, who had so mysteriously
escaped from the dread room of his master.
Laurence McKim played KS and o's upon
a board with Blaise Renouf, the precentor's
son, and at some hitch in the game he in
continently clouted the Frenchman upon the
ear. Whereupon ensued trouble and the
spilling Of much ink.
Henriet, perfectly satisfied, took up the
heavy moulds and made his way to his
lords chamber. where many things were
used for purposes other than those for which
they had been intended.
Upon the back Of his departure came in
Precentor Renouf, who laid his baton con-
Jointly and freely about the ears of his son
and those of Laurence McKim.
Get TO your beds, both OF you, and that
supperless, for uproar and conduct III be-

himself toward her and pressing his fingers
against her brow SO that the points dented
her white skin.
The tears sprang from underneath the
dark lashes which lay so TREMENDOUSLY upon
her white cheek.
You make me do tit hurts! I cannot"
she said in the pitiful voice Of a child.
"Read-or suffer the shame!" cried Giles
de Retz.
II will-O, l will. Be not angry!" she

And underneath the silk the hands were
clasped with a grip like that of a wise upon
the golden cross she had borrowed from the
little maid OF Galloway.

The Lady Sybilla began to- speak in a

yoked the quarrel, was sinking away when
the "%psalta' tas the choir master was called
in lower Brittany ordered him to sleep in
separate rooms for the better keeping Of the
peace.
And do you. Master Laurence. perform
your vigil Of the night upon the pavement Of
the chapel. For you are he most rebelllous
and troublesome Of ail-indeed, past bearing.
Go! Not a word, sirrahl"
The idea had come to Laurence that at
the head of the stairway from the chapel
was the prison chamber of Maude. Lindsay
and her ward, the little maid Margaret of
Galloway.
He told himself at least that this was
his main object, and doubtless he had the
matter in his mind. But a far stronger
motive was curiosity and the magic in
fluence Of the mysterious and the unknown
upon the mind of youth.
More than to deliver Margaret OF Gallo
way, Laurence longed to look again upon
the iron altar and to know the truth as to
the strange sacrifices which were con-
summated there. And he yearned to see
again that rOugh-eared image craven after
the fashion of a man.
And the reason was not far to seek.
For if even the worship of the high God
according to the practice of the most en-
lightened nations grounds itself upon blood
and sacrifice what wonder If in the worship
of the lords Of he'll the blood OF the innocent
is a sacrifice well pleasing and desirable.
Rooted and ineradicable is the desire in
mans heart to know good and evil-bu par
~ticularly evil. And so Laurence now desired
to see the sacrifice laid between the horns
Of the altar and the image above lean over
as If to gloat upon the sweet SAVIOUR of its
burning.
Long and carefully Laurence listened be-
fore he v%entured forth. The chapel Of the
Innooents was dark and silent. Only a re-
Election of the red light which burned in
the keep struck through the clere-story upon
the great cross which swun above the altar
This being dispersed like a halo about the
sign of Chr!st's redemption, rendered the
corner where was placed the door into the
secret stairway light enough to enable the
youth to insert therein Clerk Henriet's key.

GILES de Retz took the cup from the
hands of the servitors. He seemed so weak
with his loud crying that he could hardly
hold IL between his trembling hands. He
lifted his head, and again cried aloud:
See, / am weak, my Satan-see how 7

Youth is dead. Help thy faithful servant,
aid him to lift up this precious oblaticn to

And as the great dusky image seemed to
lean over him with a hoarse cry, GILES dc
Retz lifted the cup and held 1t high above
his head. AS he did so a beam sudden as
lightning, red as fire, fell upon 1t, and with
a quick instructive horror Laurence saw
that 1t was filled to the brim with blood
fresh and red.

And he set the cup to his lips and drank
deep and long.
And the terrible lord Of Retz, exhausted
by his own fury, cast himself at the feet of
the gigantic image which, bending over him.
seemed with the same grimace sardonically
to mock alike his downfall and his exalta-
ton.
But Laurence heard no more. For sense
and feeling had wholly departed from him,
and he lay as one dead behind the door OF

Hearts.

Mrs. T. G. Horribly gave a PRO

of her friends last Friday evening,
which was a decided novelty. Each
of the six tables was Ornamented with
a red heart bearing the number of
the table, and the score cards, were
large red pastebOard hearts. The
favors were hand painted hearts. and
the games were recorded by FASTING
tiny red hearts ON the favors. Hearts
was played until midnight, at which
time a dainty lunch was served.
Sailed almonds were served in heart
shaped dishes, the salad came on
hearts of lettuce and heart sand
wiChes and cakes, and strawberries.
waters and Saratoga chips completed
the menu. The ladies' first prize,
won by Mrs. J. w. Spirk, was an en-
broidered heart photograph holder,
and the consolation prize. carried
away by Mrs. Good, was an embroid-
cred heart covering sheets of court
plaster. The gentleman's prize, Pete
Donoher, was a hand painted easel
with a heartshaped opening for a
photograph, and Al TEACHERS BOBBY
was a heart basket filled with a
patch and button outfit.
AS a hostess Mrs. Horribly stands in
the front rank, and at this party she
eXcelled herself. With that tact
which is more natural than acquired
she makes everyone feel at ease, and
the most diffidcnt cannot long remain
quiet or inactive when at her house.

The Greater America Exposition,

Which will open at Omaha, Neb.,
July LIST and close November 1st, 1899,
will be the most unique as well as the
most successful exposition that has
ever been held in the United States.
The opportunity for special features
which recent cOnquests have given
the management, will be utilized to
the fullest extent. In addition to the
regular features, such as exhibits of
all of the Industrial interests of the
country, agriculture mining and arts.
there will be a most complete collec-
ton of war relics, direct from the
seat of war, which will be of great
interest to all. An exhibit that will
especially appeal to the people in
general, will be the colonial exhibits
from the Philippines, from Cuba and
from Hawaii. Not only the represen-
tative people from these islands will
be at the exposition, but they will be
placed before you in their W habi-
tations, just such as they live in in
their own countries, surrounded by
tropical plants and trees, such as you
would find we're you to visit these far
away islands. Even more excellent
musical talent has been secured than
last year, among them being London's
best band.
