CHAPTER XII.


"A New Messenger to the Emperor.
n Between Caillette and the dukes
tester had arisen one Of those friend
ships which spring more from s1mill-
tude than unlikeness; an amity or
which each had been unconscious: In
It's inception, but which had gradu-
al1y grown into sentiment Of comrade-
shin. Caillette was Of noble mlen,
graceful manner and elegant ADDRESS,
a soldier by preference; jester
against his will, forced 70 tne once &c Z
by the nobleman who had cared Tor
and educated him. In the dukes fool
he had found his other self; man who
like himself lent dignity to the gentle
art Of testing; who could turn q rhyme
and raise a laugh without resortlng
to grossness.
The line of demarcation between the
clown and the merry-and-wise wit
was, in those days, not clearly drawn.
The stories of the former, which made
the matrons look down and the maid
ems to hide their faces, We're o1ter
more appreciated by the inebriate
mobiles than some subtitle comicality
,or ninble lines of poetry, that would
serve to take home and think over
and which improved with time like

dukes fool which the other OWNED
and-from his own past heart-throbs
understood. The PLEASANT to the
princess betrothed, Caillette would
have sworn, was of gentle birth; his
face, manner and bearing proclaimed
it; he was, also, scholar and a poet;
his courage, which Cail1ette OWNED,
fitted him for the higher office of
arms: Certainly, he became an inter
estfng companion, and the French. jes-
ter sought his company on every oc-
casion. And this fellowship, or in
timacy, which he courted was destined
| to send Caillitte forth on a strange and
adventuresome mission.
The day following the return Of
the dukes fool to the castle, Francis,
who early In his reign had sought
to model his life: after the ehivalrous
romances, inaugurated a splendid and
pompous tournament. Some time be-
] fore the pursuivants had pro-
claimed the. event and distributed to
the knights who were to take active
part the shields of arms of the four

GERS of the field from the good-hu-
mored gathering, which, basking in
the anticipation Of the feast they knew
would follow the pageantry, clapped
their hands and flung -sup their caps
at the least provocation for rejoicing.
Upon the two testers this scene OF
jubilation was lost, Caillette merely
bending closer to the other, with:
But why have you not denounced
him to the king ?"
Because Of my foolhardiness in
tacitly accepting at first this free
booter as my master.
Caillette shot a keen glance at the
other and smiled. His eyes said:
"Foolhardiness! Was it not, rather,
some other emotion? Had not the
princess leaned more than graciously
toward her betrothed and

The dukes Jester looked down

81 his ainterview with Louis Of Hoch-

KID Curry Pays q Visit to Yantlc.

A special to The Independent from
Chinook, dated Sept. II, says: About
midnight on the 18th a man who APP
peared to be genuine hobo raped on
the door of Hon. James T. Moran's
house at his ranch at Yantic. The
man had just alighted from a passing
freight train from the east. After be-
ing allowed to come into the house, the
stranger announced himself to be Kid
Curry, and after convincing Mr..
Moran, who has known him for years,
told him he must have horse and
saddle and quick too. Mr.. Moran inn
mediately recognized that he was up
against it, SO he consented to supply
his wants. Kid Curry told Mr.. Mora II
he had just come from Havre, at which
place he had seen Sheriff Buckley, and
had, in fact, stood close to him; John
c. Bailey of the firm of Bailey & Pur-
nell, and other oldtimers, but none
had recognized him.
He further gave it out as his inten-
ton to go north, but of course by this
time he is securely at his old haunts in
the Little Rockies. Mr.. Moran SAYS
he looked worn and more like tramp
than Kid Curry and no one would
recognize him. 1t is still a complete
mystery who returned the horse, as
was promised by Kid Curry. Every
one expects to hear of several shootings
in the vicinity of Landusky at any
time from now on. The people are
anxious to know where all the Great
Northern and Pinkerton detectives are.
