Thus was the Virgin Camisard fortress

towns Of Roche-a-Bayard and Hoo.
Theologically the Prophet Catinat, an old
soldier of the earlier italian wars. drilled
the inhabitants with a severe prayerfulness,
much as he was used to exercise his COM
pany with pike and musketoon.
There was, first of all, morning service
which lasted two hours, from the shivering

God-fearing Camisards from suicide. For
as soon as they had Transported these bodi-
ly to the spot at which Maurice had ordered
them to be placed, it was always open to
him to bid his workmen to restore the
status quo.
1t was the day after the departure Of the
seward expedition. Maurice had taken over
his full powers, and already Catinat was
developing into a thorn in the flesh so I'M
endurable that the military chief could be
under no manner of Illusion as to why Jean
Cavalier had left him at home.
No matter what drill or military exercise
Maurice might order for day or night,
Catinat was always on hand to propose that

he Has Paid His Board Bill in Part
at Last

A welcome visitor was received at
house rear the Capitol few days ago and
he promised he would call again, although
he refused to make known his identity.
The house is occupied by an elderly woman
and her grown children. They are well
known and have host of friends The
mother celebrated her four score years in
1900 and recently she was SO I'LL that she
was confined to her room several days.
She had gone down stairs for the first
time and was the only person on the lower
floor when the ringing of the bell informed
her that there was somebody at the front
door
Going to the door she was surprised by a
man of refinement shaking her hand after
he had made certain that she was the one
for whom he was looking. He declined
invitation to enter. saying he merely want
ed to inquire If she were still in the land
of the living.
Take this" he said, pressing a piece Of
paper against her hand, but please don't
open it until l have departed"
The elderly woman did she had been
requested, and when she related her expert
ence to her children the latter laughed
at her and said she was the victim of
advertising scheme. Opening the paper
she saw it contained a $40 bill.
Look on the other side and I guess you
will see an advertisement of some kind"
one of the children suggested
The bill was turned over and examined.

was genuine United States treasury note.
1t was recalled that me well-dressed man
of refinement had said he would explain
the meaning of his visit by letter.
Curiosity caused the careful watching of
the poStman. With the morning came the
postman, but he had no missve from the
strange man who had so unceremoniously
parted with his money. The noon delivery
brought no tidings, but on the afternoon
trip of Uncle Sans mail carrier the letter
explained except the name of the man
whose visit had seemed so mysterious.
''Twenty-nine years ago." the letter read.
II boarded at your house"
The writer then went on to explain that
he had departed without doing the thing
that is necessary in order that the land
lady may not have to declare herself
bankrupt. He further stated that he had
been given to dissipation and admitted
that the woman he had sought had been
almost a mother to him.
You not only bore with me during the
time was given to dissipation" he wrote.
''but you advised with me and pointed out
to me what should do to make man of
myself. In the course of time your words
bore fruit, and l finally became a Chris
tian."
In conclusion he stated that the so did
not cover the amount of his Indebtedness
and when he has paid his bill in full he
will reveal his identity and make social
call

Cavalier was gone Three days to reach

| quite enough had the road been clear. But
| at any moment, who knew! the 200 Cami-
sards might not run into an entire division
| of royal troops. Yet for the time being this
| did not trouble either Cavalier or that
| young aid-de-camp of Marlborough who
was learning to be proud of being named
! Lieutenant to such man. He went across
| the sleeping village. where the watch, kept
awake and alert by the zeal of Cavalier,
| swung a curious lantern in his face and
demanded his name and business.
Then a trumpet blew, three or four stir
ing notes repeated thrice over. No more.
And instantly windows were thrown open
| everywhere. Men came tumbling out upon
| the street, There was a glitter Of arms,
! the padding of many feet, from opened
/ ground-fioo doors the stamping Of the feet
of horses. "a raid!" said some.
| The enemy upon us!' cried others.
| "'Tis only to prove us-he is always at

| But the trumpet rang out again. full and

of mighty stamping in all the stables OF
the town, and especially in those Of Mar

mandant of La Cavalerie had gone to OBJ
tain his weapons which he had left in the
| care of Billy Marshall and his spouse.
| For many reasons 1t had been in the
| mind of Maurice to resume upon this oc-
| casion the proper uniform of British
| officer. He told himself that It would be
| the proper thing as marking the right he
| had to give orders and the support which
1 was being extended to the rebel noun
| taineers by the allied powers. Really, how
ever, his reasons were quite other and
| much simpler. But the other hand 1t
| occurred to him, first, that he had no orders
| from my Lord Marlborough for any such
| display; secondly, that the fact of British
| officer in uniform being in the camp of the
| Camisards would spread like wildfire
| through all France and make the enemies
of the poor hill folk ten times more bitter
| than before, and lastly. that he might need
| his disguise of wagner to enable him to
get out of the country when his mission
should be finished.
So with a single rather reluctant glance
| at the rough packing of mating which con-
| tanned his staff uniform Cor at least had
| contained it when the wagons were ram
sacked) Maurice Raith took his sword and
