Tnl-. against one is always heavy
odds, even when the lone individual is
built in heroic mold, and Paul was not
averse to calling for assistance from
such source.
So he strolled up and down. nursing
a cigar and keeping close to the line
of carriages.
A singular thing happened. which
gave Paul cause for much speculation
later on.
Glancing down the line, he saw a
woman's head projected suddenly from
the window of first-class carriage.
1t was so quickly withdrawn. and
somehow he was under the impression
that the sight of him so near at hand
had been the cause of its disappear
ance.
More than this, Rhinelander was al
most ready to take his oath that he
had seen something familiar about the
head.
In fact, he had good cause to believe
the party was no other than the Coun-
tess Aimee.
When he walked slowly past the
compartment he found the shade
drawn down and all dark within, so
that he could discover no confirmation
of his suspicion.
At any rate, it gave him food for
thought.
He really needed something of the
sort to take his mind away from his
troubles, which at times threatened to
overwhelm him.
All aboard again. and they were off.
Paul saw no reason to regret his lit
tie saunter, since, besides giving him
an opportunity to enjoy good cigar
in the open air. it had also settled his
convictions regarding his fellow trav-
elers, and at the same time opened his
eyes to the possible presence of the
countess.
Several times. from the adjoining
compartment, had come the sound of q
gruif laugh. and there was something
very familiar about its genial nature
though Paul could not manage to just
place it.
He wondered whether these mer
meant him i'll or If he had drawn large
ly upon his imagination in thinking SO

MEMBERS OF SACRED COLLEGE.
Italians Have Majority In Selecting
New Pope.

Italians Have Majority in Selecting a
New Pope.
The sacred college enters on the
new year so nearly complete as to
mark a new record. The plenum is
seventy, and there are now sixty-slx
red hats. with heads under them, il
one may SO express it, which leaves
little or no margin, as it Is tradi-
tion to leave the number of the princes
of the church incomplete. At the be
ginning of 1900 there were only fifty
six; during the year two have died,
and twelve have been created. During
the twenty-four years of Leo XIII. S
pontificate no fewer than 1877 cardinals
have died. Recently the sacred college
was SO reduced as to have only fifty
one members. and was REINFORCED by
only one consistory by the creatic- pt
twelve cardinals, who substantially
modified that institution, and who Will
have a notable influence on the cleo
ton of new pope, says the Pail Mall
Gazette.
The proportion of foreign and Italian
princes of the church, which until re-
cent years had been kept about equal
is now, however, much altered, the
Italians being in tie majority. In fact
the sacred college is at present com
posed of forty Italians and twenty
six of other nations; of these seven
are French. six Austro-Hungarian one
Portuguese. one Belgian, one Amerl-
can, one English, one Irish. etc. Given
that the sixty-six cardinals all enter
the conclave. the Italians would II
once be in the majority in favor of
their own countrymen, a majority OF
one only being necessary to make the
election valid. But agreement is nee
essary. and this is the saving clause in
favor of the minority. which can make
their weight felt through the disagree
ments of the others.

CHAPTER XIII.
In Durance Vile.

Perhaps half an hour had elapsed,
when the stout Teuton merchant raised
his head and with eager eyes surveyed
the corner where Paul was sprawled
out asleep.
Convinced that everything was pro-
pirious, he gave the foot of the young
er tourist sudden kick that brought
the scholar erect at once.
The merchant pointed and grinned,
whereupon the other arose and ap-
preached Paul, who still slept on, ut
terly unconscious of impending woe.
They seized upon the American.
Paul struggled desperately-alas! he
was taken at such disadvantage that
he found himself almost powerless
against these men.
One had a knee upon his chest and
was choking him, while the other
gathered his hands together and pro-
ceeded to tie them in a most ignomi-
nious fashion.
When this had been accomplished
they suffered Paul to rise. which he
did with alacrity, at the same time
demanding to know what such an in
dignity meant, and threatening them
with all manner of punishment when
their destination was reached.
But all that had no effect, so Paul
lay back in his corner and thought.
Again that laugh in the adjoin-
ing compartment.
Like flash it came to him where he
had heard that CHEEKY sound before.
1t was the English surgeon who had
stood at his back in the student duel.
and whose words of genuine sympathy
and good luck he could distinctly re-
member. What would not the big
Briton do to the pretended keepers
once he was let loose among them?
Then Paul considered that the Eng
lishman might fail him-might prove
a myth, after all, so he set about to
free himself from his bonds.
1t was hard work, but at last-how
he breathed a sigh of relief when the
stretched bonds fell off his wrists.
Free again, thank heaven! and ere
he would allow those ignominious
cords to be again wrapped about hif
arms he would die.
Now, to lay hold of the weapon.
Steady! one of the fellows was eye
ing him in a suspicious manner. and
1t would not do to let the game be dis
covered at this stage.
AS the man rose from his seat and
drew back the travelling rug, the AM
erican struck him with all his force,
at the same time springing to his feet.
He reached now for the firearm.
The situation took sudden turn,
however, from the plan of campaign
which he had laid out, for just at this
interesting moment there came several
shrill pipings from the motor ahead,
then a crash. and tremendous up
heaval that betokened a serious acci-
dent on the road; and, of course. Paul
found no immediate use for his little
persuader.
