peatedly been made during the last few
years that the revenue Of the United
States were being defrauded to the extent
of millions Of dollars annually by the I'M
portation Of wrapper tobacco as filler. 1t
is understood that the treasury depart

IA complete investigation of the. circum-
stances surrounding the importations OF
tobacco a by Berriman Bros, OF this
city and Chicago.
While much reticence is observed by the
special agents and other customs officials,
some of the facts In the Berriman case
came to light. 81
! 1t appears that Berriman Bros. have an
office and sales department In Chicago
and a factory and sales agency in New
York. 1t was learned that the special
treasury agents and member OF the
board of United States general appraisers
are DESTROYS Of learning why Berriman
Bros, have been importing their tobacco;
from Havana direct to Chicago, where it
was reshipped to New York for manufac-
ture into cigars.

CHAPTER XIV.

THE SHADOW OF THE GALLOWS.
AS Villon ended a great peal Of music
came from the church, the magnificent
music of a TIE Deum Laudamus; while
from the soldiers who choked the arch
way, a glowing sea of steel, there rose
one common cry Of God save the
grand constable!"
Olivier leaned over ana whispered to
the king:
They cheer him, sire"
Louis waved him impatiently aside,
and leaning over the railing, spoke:
my lord constable, and you, brave
soldiers, the king Of rance thanks you
for your gift. Victory was indeed as
sured o by the Justice Of our cause.
MY lord of Montcorbier, 0 may
promise these brave fellows that their
sovereign will remember them"
Swiftly Villon turned and addressed
the motley throng behind him. 4
! TN the kings name, a gold coin to
every ma:l wn55 fought and q tuS Of
Wine to every man, woman and child
who wishes to drink the kings health"
The king smiled wryly.
Ever generous he said.
To the end, sire" Villon answered,
with an ironic s%alutation, which Louis
answered with a. ironic question.
What have you now to OF"
Villon saluted the king again.
my latest duty, SIRE" he answered,
and once again he turned to address
the multitude:
Soldiers who have served under me,
friends who have fought with me, and
you, people, whom I have striven to
succor, listen to my amazing swan
song. You know me a little as Count
of Montcorbier, grand constable of
France. I know myself indifferently
we'll as Francois Villon, master OF arts,
broker Of ballads and somewhile bibber
and brawler. 1t is now my duty as
grand constable Of France to declare
that the life of Master Francois Villon
is forfeit and to pronounce on him this
sentence, that he be st%raightaway
hanged upon yonder gibbet."

I'M men came nearer and nearer, ana
then. when the cheering was at Its
shrillest and the rain Of flowers thick
est, V1llon rode in through the gate
way on his great warhorse with his
five rufflans close at his heels. Villon's
lifted hand gave the signal for a halt
and he leaped lightly off his horse and
advanced towards the king, a glorious
figure to the eyes of the crowd in his
shining n with a scarlet Golf up
on his helmet. If for a momen his
glance rested OF the gaunt skeleton Of
the gallows there came no change in
the proud composure Of his face. In
mediately behind him followed the
faithful ragamuff1ns, each Of whom
bore vivid signs in slung arm, swathed
leg or %bandaged forehead Of the lusty
work he had lone in the kings name
upon the kings enemies. But the sings
and swathes and bandages We're of no
common sort, but splendid bits of silk

vices and rich In threads Of gold and

AS Villon and his fantastic escort
strobe towards the presence, Noel in
terposed Indignantly. He stretched a
pair Of protecting arms wide out to
ward off from the king the approach
of so singular a deputatior, while he
