Even FAMILY secrets,

The inquisitorial proceedings of in
come-tax collectors in Austria are a
source of great annoyance to self-re-
specting citizens. They pry into every
family secret, however delicate. But
now they do even more than that.
They attempt to check the income of
a man by finding out what is sent him
by rail. The inspector of taxes at
Myslenice. in order to give the screw
another turn, has applied to the rail-
way managers for permission to send
an official to Makow station for GER
tain time in order to examine all par
cells sent there or thence. and find out
to whom or from whom they have
been sent. OF course the purpose Of
such a demand is clear. Proof Is re-
quired that certain persons spend
more, and therefore have greater in
come than they have declared, thus
ignoring the fact that man may pos
sibly live beyond his income. At the
same time it must be confessed that
there is a great difficulty in getting
people to give truthful declarations.

Maneuvering of Fctnch and English
Fleets for q Purpose.
The English and French naval
maneuvers took place recently at al.
most the same time. The French ma
neuvers were planned to represent
conditions which might arise IL there
were war between France and Eng
land. In that event, it was assumed
that the English channel or home
squadron would try to join itself to
the English Mediterranean squadron.
The French Mediterranean fleet would
endeayor to prevent the junction. This
was the problem set to the French
commanders in the maneuvers. A
certain number OF French battle-ships
and cruisers represented the English
channel squadron, and another fleet of
war-ships the English Mediterranean
squadron. A third fleet, representing
the French Mediterranean fleet, was
sent out to prevent the junction of the
two English squadrons; and smaller
group. representing the French North
ern or Channel fleet, sailed out to Coz
operate in the movement. The details

French maneuvers, the victory rested
with the enemy. According to the cal
culated results, the attacking fleet lost
only three cruisers, three torpedo boat
destroyers and three torpedo-boats,
while it sunk dozen cruisers, two
gunboats and eight torpedo-boat de-
stroyers OF the defending fleet, and
captured an indefinite number OF mer-

France there has been sharp criticism
recently on the efficiency of the navy.
The disappointing result OF these

demand for improved construction and

CHAPTER TX.
The Dark Hour,

Inc DdTk f1OuT.
1T seemed like a dream to Ulin
She closed her eyes-and opened them
and arose-and walked across the
chamber-simply to assure herself
that she was awake. Was it possible
that member of the robber band had
been to see her-had been within her
chamber-had come, and had gone? A
friend and companion Of Julian's
seeking her for aid in behalf Of the
chieftain? She was trying to make
it appear real, when her bondmaiden
returned.
Tho door was closed, and Abba re-
marked, as she took seat;
He will be in the garden two hours
past midnight, my lady; and IL we
can help him, we must do our work as
speedily as possible"
Help" repeated Ulin. gazing into
her attendants face. How can We
help Julian?'
The thing may be possible" replied
Abba, in a thoughtful mood. IF you
would serve him. think way caI
be opened to the accomplishment"
The princess reflected few mo-
ments, and then said:
IF the man who was here spoke
the truth, it may become my duty to
help him; and certainly his story
seemed plausible. / can very easily
see how the powerful robber band.
moved to desperation by the death OF
their beloved leader, might wreak
most terrible vengeance upon this
city; and surely, If We can be the
means of averting so dire calamity.
1t is our duty so to do"
81 think it is" added Abba.
But" continued Ulin, ''if Julian is
in the power of the king, he must be
in one of the strongest dungeons; and
a strict guard must be kept over him.
How can we reach him?"
81 can think of but one way" re-
turned the bondmaiden. laying down
the plan with her finger as she pro-
ceeded. "Osmir and Selim had hand
in capturing the young chieftain; and
it is not impossible that they may
have a hand in guarding him. judge
so from the fact that the capture of
the robber has not yet become gen.
orally known in the city, which would
certainly have been the case IL the
kings officers had known it. Now we
have some claim upon the gratitude OF
this Osmir, and think he is, by ma
ture, grateful enough to repay us. He
is the man whom we found faint and
dying upon the shore Of the lake, and
who must have died If we had not
nursed him. You remember the cir
cumstance?"
Gle had almost been killed by some
slaves of Aleppo," explained Abba.

When the princess was alone, she
trembled beneath the weight of the
new thought that had been wrought
upon her. Flight was something that
had not made its way to her mind be-
fore, but now that 1t had been present
ed, she could not dismiss 1t. She had
revealed her whole feeling, SO far as
the king was concerned, in her speech
to Abba. There may have been other
springs within her soul which she did
not then dare to touch; but in her own
soul, unsupported and uninfiuenced by
other causes than such as spring from
reason and reflection, had grown fear
OF Koran, and terror of being his
wife. She had dreamed of poor Helena
until the dead queen seemed almost
an attendant spirit upon her, sent to
warn her. The night passed, and the
day came; and she had resolved that
she would not marry with the old king
IL she could avoid it. When Abba
came, and asked her what she had de-
termined, such was the purport Of her
answer
But" said the bondmaiden, there
is but one way in which the sacrifice
can be avoided. Are you ready to
fiee?'
Not yet-not yet, Abba. Wait
through the day."
In the afternoon the king made
visit to the house of his prime minis
ter and spent a short time with Uiin.
He never looked more repulsive. He
was loud in his words of love, and
made the announcement that fortune
had turned full in his favor. 1t was
evident enough that he had been taxi
ing more wine than usual. When he
went away, Ulin sank down upon
low stool, and buried her face in her
hands.
"4lbia," she said, when she felt like
speaking, Il can bear no more. would
rather die than give myself to that
man. If should die, my father would
lose me; but il l fee from Damascus,
i may at some time return to him. II
you can prepare for leaving the city, l
will accompany you this very night"
The bondmaiden promised that she
would do all in her power; and without
waiting to waste time in useless words,
che went forth to search for the help
she needed.
Evening came, and Ulin had not
shrunk back from the decision she
had made. There were two reasons
why her home had not power to win
her back from her resolve. The death
of her mother had taken away the
brightest part of that home; and, fur
thermore, its character of home was
soon to be changed IL she remained.
1t could not be her home any more.

Thus sat the princess, presenting
herself with every available reason
that could favor her in her resolution,
when Abba came in, with quick
step and flushed cheek.
my mistress" she said, when she
had assured herself that they were
alone, there is q man in the garden
who wishes to speak with you"
"A mani" cried Ulin.
He says 1t is a case of life or
death-of life or death to an individ-
ual, and of life or death to a city,
pursued the bondmaiden, without no
ticing the interruption. HE gained
entrance to the garden, and has been
searching for the lady Ulin. He did
not tell me his name; but know that
he was with the robbers at the Pal
ace of the Valley, and he says he is a
friend OF Julian. II you will see him
now, 7 can conduct him up without
danger of discovery"
I'm mercys name, Abba, what mean
you?" The princess trembled like an
aspen. What can he want with me?"
II think he is an honest man, my
lady; and l think you had better see
him. / only speak my own feelings"
Does he say that Julian sent him."
asked Ulin, trembling more violently
as that name fell from her lips.
Julian did not send him." replied
Abba; "and yet he comes in behalf Of
Julian. l think the noble young chief
tain is in danger. and this man hopes
that you may be able to render some
assistance
Indeed, Abba, must not do such
a thing. 1t would not be proper l
must not do 1t. What is the robber
chieftain to me?"
II know not of a verify, my lady,
that such is the mans hope; but do
know that he prays most earnestly to
see you. Yet, If you will not see him,
I will carry to him your word"
What will he do II refuse?''
"He will go away. and trouble you
no more"
Are you sure of this Abba?
II am, my lady. He babe me say
unto you that you should act your own
pleasure He urges no claim, and will
take no offense at refusal, but he
prayerfully asks that you will grant
him audience"
The princess was not proof against
the spirit which prompted to the re-
ception of the robber 1t was not
wholly curiosity which moved her.
There were feelings working within
her which she could not have ex-
planned, even to herself. She told Al
bia that she might conduct the man
to her apartment.
"You will come with him, Abba;
and you will remain with me while he
is here"
The bondmalden went away. and ere
long returned, followed by tall,
stout, middle-aged man. AS the rays
of the lamp fell upon his face, reveal
ing features that were far above the
average in their stamp Of manhood.
Ulin recognized him as one whom she
had seen with Julian in the Valley OF
Lycanius. He bowed very low rs he
entered. and when he saw how the
maiden was affected by his presence,
he proceeded at once to open his busi-
ness.

which might at once have banished all
fear from the minds OF his listeners,
