lose his place-it may be to lose his head. ,
And so looking at her enemy recognized
for the first time, and knowing her the
stronger, Frances Wildwood said in a faint,
even tone. What would you have me do
to save him? Tell me, and 1 will do it!'
We'll, then" said>Svette, so far as L
know (and my husband is with me in ths),
there is but one thing that can save the
life of the spy, Maurice Raith. and it may
be also that of your father that you shall

Flower-o -the-Corn paled to the lips and
then slowly became scarlet again. as the
tides of shame flooded back to her pale
cheek.
"And tell me why you propose this to
me-" she said, Il hardly know him. And
how will that save the life of Maurice
Raith, or of my father, ii. as you say, that
be a stake?'
For the fraction of a second Yvette hest
tated. 1t was indeed not so easy a ques-
ton to answer, even though she had been
preparing for it some time.
Thus said Yvette. looking at her
straight in the face; 3" If we can persuade
the king that Camisards divided among
themselves-if we can send him three or
four sturdy regiments with full ranks to
fight his battles, with Colonel Jean Cavalier
al the head of them; If that commander
takes to court with him a young and love-
ly bride-we shall be able to cause the king
to forget his enmity to this English SOL
der, whom even his own people have dis
owned"
"Ahr said Frances, steadily on the de-
fensive; then the king will pardon Maui
rice Raith If I-marry Jean Cavalier. Has
his majesty SO expressed himself? l can
not be content with the chance"
His majesty has not so expressed him.

In fact, you offer me the life of the man

1T is no diShonor to marry good man,
Mistress Frances said Yvette, keenly.
''As you should best KNOW retorted
Flower-o' -the-Corn.
Yvette bent her head. There was this
good about her. She had no evil to speak
about her husband.

Yyette came forward slowly and with
many meaning glanees first at one and
then at the other.
This also is according TO the custom of
the country-that / should be your chape-
rom she said, laughing. but then, my
dears, 1 am an ord married woman.

my back to the settle and look out for my

Jean Cavalier and Flower O. the Corn did
not avail themselves of the benevolent Cor
malevolenD offer of Nine. la Marechale.
Forsa sense of utter heaviness and desola-
ton was upon them both. The future
stretched before Flower-o'- the-Corn like to
the valley of the shadow of death.
As for Jean Cavalier. though he was
about to be married to a. woman high above
Yvette Foy as the heavens are high above
the earth, yet his heart went lingering and
longing after her.
So they sat and were SILENT each of them
looking different ways.

HANDcUFFED TOGETHER.
Father and son-Men Stole Harness

Some of it Found in Waterbury.
 Hartford, June 5.--Pitiful was the scene in the criminal court room yester day morning when sentence was pro nounced on the Hermans and their ac- complices, who pleaded guilty to grand conspiracy to steal harnesses from Smith, Bourn SS Co. Four children of Jacob Herman, the eldest about l5 years, burst into sobs when the father was sentenced to state prison and made a rush for him in the pen. They sob bed and sobbed, while Herman himself collapsed. Officers kept the children away, but finally the disturbance was so great that the sheriff took the pris- oners to jail, followed at a distance by the children. Jacob could hardly walk, and as he went out he attempted to address the court, but was hustled out handcuffed to his son, Jack.
 The older Herman was sentenced to not less than two, nor more than three years in state prison. Jack was sent to Jail for eight months, Ernest w. Tinkham for three months and the case of conspiracy against Austin Fish was nolled. Fish was convicted in the police court of stealing harness, and is now serving a sentence of three months in jail. It was believed until to-day that the men would stand trial, but after conference with their attor- neys, John w. Coogan and Judge A. c. Bill, they pleaded guilty.
 In statement to the court State Attorney Eggleston said that the men were charged with grand conspiracy to steal harnesses. Fish and Tink- ham, he said, worked for the !. B. Burr company, which is over the store of Smith. Bourn < company. In the base ment of the Asylum street store new harnesses are stored, and from this basement an elevator led to the J. B. Burr company's part of the building.
 What these men aid" said Judge Eggleston, lis this, and it was done under the influence of the older Her man. Fish and Tinkham would go to the basement and carry away boxes of harness. Fish would then take the boxes on the delivery wagon and deliv- CT them to Herman, who sold them in Boston and to local horsemen. Fish has told me the whole story. Tinkham has done the same. Jack Herman was the tool of his father. He urged him to steal Fish has lost his franchise and I have nolled his case. Tinkham is about to be married--a fine start off. Fish is now in jajil for three months, and I recommend that Tinkham be given the same time. Jack is not worthy, but is young and l recommend a sentence of eight months ill jail for him. As for the real villain he should go to state. prison for at least two years"
 John w. Coogan spoke for Jacob saying that he was deeply interested in the man., "He lost his wife year ago." said MT Coogan, "and the moth erless children are here in court. Now they are worse than fatherless." He said that he and Judge Bill had advis- cd plea of guilty, and he continued, 1T stand here to-day to plead for mercy for this old man. if not for himself, then for his motherless children"
 .tThe state has extended about enough clemency,'' saad Judge Eggles- ton. The sentence was then imposed.

Made Another Effort at New Haven to
 Get Control of Organization.
 At the closing session of the supreme council of the Knights of Columbus, Ghe old effort to secure equal rights of ottice tor associate members with in surance members, made its appearance in the following resolution:
 Voted, That the committee recon mend the rejection of the minority re- port submitted to the last National council, asking that an application be made to the next general assembly of the state of Connecticut for an amend ment to the charter permitting the es- tablishment of an insurance depart ment, which shall consist only, of in surance members, who shall have ex- elusive charge of management of the collection, custody and investment of all insurance funds"
 In the report of the committee on laws 1t was recommended that this resolution be rejected, but as the sponsor for any resolution has right to the floor of the council, the commit tees report was strenuously opposed, but on a vote the committee was sus- tained and the resolution defeated.
 Every years for four years an effort has been made to procure for the as- sociate members the right to hold office, but each time it has been defeat ed.
 An important change in the laws raises the age limit for taking out in surance 15 years. Heretofore members over 45 years old could not take out insurance. but under the new law the age limit is so years. It was also voted to maintain the present rate Of insurance for members SO years old or more. It was thought that a lower level rate for these members could be made, but after Investigating the plan was found to be dn1practicaible.

POLICE COURT DoINGs

 For Carrying Policy Slips.
 Judge Burpee presided at city court this morning. The most important case tried was that of William J. Scul- ly, who was charged with being the custodian on June 2 of policy slips and of other paraphernalia for writing policy Attorney Lawlor moved that the case be dismissed on the ground that the arrest was made improperly. 'tAt the time of the arrest, said the attorney, 'the accused -was walking along Bank street i'll q peaceful manner and was not violating the law in any manner. He was seized by two police officers without any war rant or any authority of law for mak- ing the arrest, taken into hallway and there searched. Perhaps highway robbery was committed"
 At this point Judge Burpee remarked that if such were the case the officers should be sued for false arrest, but that wasn't the question with which the court had to deal
 Attorney Lawlor: That's the pur- pose of bringing up the question: If the case is dismissed we can sue the officers"
 Lieutenant Dodds testified to stop ping Scully on Bank street Tuesday morning. of taking him into hallway and searching him. Policy slips and bother paraphernalia for policy playing were found He had been informed that Scully had been going from store to store that morning peddling the slips The accused has had the reputa- tion for years of being engc ged in the policy business, the witness stated. At torney Lawlor tried to show that the slips found Tn his clients possession were the same for which he was ar rested and fined two weeks ago. but the witness was positive that they were not. Asked as to how he knew that they were policy slips, Lieutenant Dodds said that he had seen too many of them to make a mistake in regard to them. He was the only witness. The defense introduced no evidence At torney Lawlor spoke as follows: Ut seems little odd that Scully was ar rested three weeks ago and that cer- tain lawyer had threatened to have him arrested since then because some persons weren't paid their policy win nings, and then this arrest was made. Here Judge Burpee interrupted. saying that Nrr Lawlor should confine himself to the case. That finished the case A fine of $50 and costs was imposed. An appeal was taken.
 John Ryan was fined $1o and costs for drunkenness, and Tor the same of fense George Williams was fined $5 and costs.
 James Varey. member of the gypsy camp at Riverside park. had too ~-uch fire water yesterday and as result tried to put the camp out of business. He was fined & and costs.
 The cases of Patrick Gilmore for drunkenness and breach of peace and of NJ. C. AfcGann for theft of an um- brella, were continued until tomorrow on request of their lawyer, Judge Lowe.

ROBBERS IN PEST HOUSE. ',

Helped Themselves to Roast Beef m
 Isolation Camp.
 Stamford, June 5.---Somebody stole quantity of roast beef from the cellar of the house in which George Francis Train is confined at the city isolation camp Wednesday night It is not known who the thief is, although Mir Train got his psychic telepathy appar- atus to work early and promises to make known who the culprit is by to- night Nothing else about the place was disturbed. Dr Borden and the at- tendants at the camp have generally supposed that the very nature of their work was a sufficient precaution against thieves, but now 1t appears that even a pest house is not safe in tbis respect. The person who got away with he beef surely had the courage of his stealing inclinations.
 Mir Train continues to pass a good part of the time in writing and talking nonsense. He has not given up his idea of bringing a suit of $50,0 GOO against the city and Of getting new suit Of clothes when he leaves the isolation camp.

Buy a two-tenement house, occupy one part. The rent of the other part will pay the interest on the money you borrow to buy the place, and there you are. Put your money in home. It is a safe place to keep it. Waterbury is growing. The value of land IS increasing. 4

The pope and all about him at that time
recognized the fact that his life would
soon draw to a close. Though lowering
on the brink of death the pope's life
has been prolonged by the administra-
ton of strong stimulants and concen-
trated nourishment. Those about him
we're so sure the end was at hand that
late in the evening Of that day the last
Sacrament was administered to him.
The room in which he passes his last
hours is as bare and unadorned as that
of any anchorite. The only picture in
the room is an antique Mandonna and

tious display or luxurious comforts, sc

fifth year as pontiff on February goth

thirty-two years-the TWO popes, ac-
cording TO Roman church history, being
the only successors of ST. Peter who
had served equal time rs he (twenty-

OF course there is much speculation
in the vatican as we'll as beyond its
precincts as to who will be the pope's
successor-shan he be an Italian or one
from some other European country
or shall he be an American? These
are the mOmentous questions o

There is some talk that in the contest
between the Italian candidates and
those of the other European powers
there might be a compromise made by
