NIGHT AIR.-One Of the bugbears OF
old time people Is night air, and there
is little exaggeration in saying that
the superstition against night air mas
killed more people than the free circu-
lation Of it has ever injured. There IS
abundance of proof that night air Is
Injurious to no one. On the contrary
people who sleep outdoors under the
mere protection Of a tent are the
healthiest of all people. and the praev "a T.

Quinnox calmly placed his hands on

in the eye, said quietly:
"Her suffering now is as nothing

The castle was in q furore. Its halls

there was an ugly sense Of trouble In

The slim, pale faced princess met the
burly old ruler in the grand council
chamber. He and his mobiles had been
kept waiting but short time. Within
a very few minutes after they had been
conducted to the chamber by Count
Halfont and other dignitaries the fair
ruler came into the room and advanced
between the bowling lines Of courtiers
to the spot where sat the man who held
Graustark in his grasp.
Bolaroz arose as she drew near, his
gaunt face black and unfriendly. She
extended her hand graciously, and he,
a prince for all his wrath, touched his
trembling lips to its white, smooth
back.
II come in grief and sadness to your
court, most glorious Yetive. My bur-
den of sorrow is greater than I can
bear" he said hoarsely.
"Would that I could give you conso-
lation," she said, sitting in the chair
reserved for her use at council gather
ings. "Alas. it grieves me that l can
offer nothing more than words" Tru-
" she pitied him in bis bereavement.
Bolaroz said that he had heard OF
the murderer's escape and asked what
effort was being made to recapture
him. Yetive related all that had hap
pened, expressing humiliation over the
fact that her officers had been unable
to accomplish anything. adding that
she did not believe the fugitive could
get away from Graustark safely with
out her knowledge. The old prince

lent rage that had been temporarily
subdued, and at last broke out in a
vicious denunciation Of the careless
ness that had allowed the man to es-
cape. He first insisted that Dangloss
and his incompetent assistants be
thrown into prison for life or executed
for criminal negligence; then he de-
manded the life of Harry Anguish as
an alder and abettor in the fight Of
the murderer. In both cases the prin-
cess firmly refused to take the action
demanded. Then she acquainted him
with her intention to detain Anguish
as hostage and to have his every ac-
ton watched in the hope that clew to
the whereabouts Of the fugitive might
be discovered, providing. Of course,
that the friend knew anything at all
about the matter. The Duke Of Miz-
rox and others loudly Joined in the cry
for Anguish's arrest, but she bravely
held out against them and in the end
curtly informed them that the Ameri-
can, whom she believed to be innocent
Of all completely in the escape, should

she had ordered.

ped Bolaroz.
"You are not at liberty to command
in Gaustark, Prince Bolaroz," she said
slowly and distinctly. 81 am ruler
here"
Bolaroz gasped and was speechless
for some seconds.
"You shall not be ruler long, madam"
he said malevolently. significantly.
"But am ruler now, and, as such, I
ask your highness to withdraw from
my castle. l did not know that I was
to submit to these threats and insults

cuttingly and at their conclusion arose
to leave the room.
Bolaroz heard her through in surprise
and with conflicting emotions. There
was no mistaking her indignation, 80
he deemed it policy to bottle his wrath,
overlook the most offensive rebuke his
vanity had ever received and submit
to what was evidently just decision.

Willmar tribune., 1903-12-09

Dental agents left in Vincennes by
Governor Abbott had, upon the arrival
Of Helm, gone to Detroit, and of course
they Mad carried thither full report
of all that happened in the Church of
st. Xavier when Father Gibault call
ed the people together, and at the fort
when the British flag was hauled down
and la banniere d'Alice Roussillon run
up in it's place. His expansive imagina-
ton did full credit to itself in exagger-
ating the Importance Of his part in
handing the post over to the rebels.
And what would Hamilton think of
this? Would he consider it treason?
The question certainly bore a tragic
suggestion.
NJ. Roussillon lacked everything of
being coward, and treachery had no
rightful place in his nature. He was,
however, so in the habit of fighting
windmills and making mountains of
molehills that he could not at first
glance see any sudden presentment
with normal vision. He had no love
for Englishmen, and he did like Amer
leans, but he naturally thought that
Helms talk Of fighting Hamilton was,
as his own would have been in a like
case, talk and nothing more. The fort
could not hold out an hour, he well
knew. Then what? All, he but too
well realized the result. :, H.. r"
Resistance would infame the English
soldiers and madden the Indians. There
would be a massacre, and the belts of
savages would sag with bloody scalps.

strong and true and brave he was! In
her imagination she saw the flag above
him, saw him die like a panther at
bay, saw the gay rag snatched down
and torn to shreds by savage hands.
It was the tragedy Of a single moment
enacted in flashlight Of anticipation.
She released Jean so suddenly that
he fell to the floor. She remembered
what she had said to Beverley on the
night Of the dance when they were
standing under the flag.
"You made it and set it up," he light
ly remarked. "You must see that no
enemy ever gets possession of it, espe-
cially the English"
I'LL take it down and hide it when
there's danger OF that" she said in the
same spirit.
And now she stood there, looking at
Jean without seeing him, and repeated
the words under her breath.
I'll take it down and hide it. They
shan't have it."
Nine. Roussillon began to call from
the other room in a loud, complaining
voice, but Alice gave no heed to her
Querulous demands.
"Stay here, Jean, and take care Of
Mamma Roussillon," she presently said
to the hunchback. Il am going out;
I'll be back soon. Don't you dare leave
the house while I'm gone. Do you
hear?"
She did not wait for his answer, but,

\ Helm was dumfounded at this
prompt acceptance of his terms. In
deed the incident Is unique In history.
As Hamilton spoke he very naturally
glanced up to where la banniere d Al
ice Roussillon waved brilliantly. Some
one stood beside IL on the dilapidated
roof Of the old Aijckhouse and was al
ready taking it from its place. His aid.
Captain Farnsworth, saw this, and the
vision made his heart draw in q strong
hot flood. It was girl in short skirts
and moccasins, with a fur hood on her
head, her face, thrillingly beautiful, set
around with duffs Of wind blown
brown gold hair. Farnsworth was too
young to be critical and too old to let
his eyes deceive him. Every detail Of:
the fine sketch, with its steel blue back
ground of sky, flashed into his mind,
sharp cut as cameo. 1nvoluntarily hs
took of his hat.
Alice had come in by way of the
postern- She mounted to the roof un-
observed and made her way to the
flag just at the moment when Helm,
glad at heart to accept the easiest way
out Of tight place, asked Oncle Jazon
to lower 1t.
Beverley was thinking of Alice, and
when he looked up he could scarcely
realize that he saw her. But the whole
situation was plain the instant she
snatched the staff from its place, for
he, too, recollected what she had said
at the river house. The memory and
the present scene blended perfectly
during the feeting instant that she
was visible. He saw that Alice was
smiling somewhat as in her most mis-
chievous moods, and when she jerked
the staff from it's fastening she lifted
1t high and waved it once, twice, thrice
defantly toward the British lines, then
fed down the ragged roof slope with
it and disappeared. The vision re-
mained in Beverley's eyes forever aft
erward. The English troops, thinking
that the flag was taken down in token
Of surrender, broke into a wild tumult
Of shouting.
Oncle Jazon intuitvely understood
Just what Alice was doing, for he
knew her nature and could read her
face. His blood effervesced in an in
stant
"Vive ZhorZh Vasinton! Vive la BAN
mere d'Alice Roussillon" he screamed,
waving his disreputable cap round his
scalpless head. "Hurrah for George
Washington. Hurrah for Alice Rous-
sillon's f1agw
1t was all over soon. Helm sur
rendered himself and Beverley with
full h!nors. As for Oncle Jazon, he
disappeared at the critical moment. 1t
was not just to his mind to be a pris-
oner Of war, especially under existing
conditions, for Hamilton's Indian allies
had some old warpath scores to settle
with him dating back to the days
when he and Simon Kenton were COM
rades in Kentucky.
