He was by this time accustomed to
such outbreaks; and suspecting quick
.ly the position Of affairs, had lost no
time in finding hiding place in
grove, not far from the house.
At the tidings. of his fathers death,
new expression came to Etienne's
face. softening its coldness; but this
quickly changed when, in reply to his
query as to who was in command of
..the escort, Greloire answered, Lieu
tenant Bonaparte."
An oath that made both soldiers
stare burst from the young mans lips.

added, with return of all his haughti-
ness; "and do both of you see to 1t

With this he stalked through the
TALL, and up the stairway. shuddering
as he passed the blood-stains upon the
floor.
Etienne's steps on the upper stairs
and along the oaken-foored hall
brought Tatro to the door of the room
where lay the two wounded soldiers,
one of whom was evidently dying,
. while the other was sleeping quietly.
"Ah, Monsieur Etienne, is it you,
sir?" Then, correcting himself with
"Pardon-Monsieur lie Baron" he
burst forth in quavering voice, ut

Somewhat softened by the old mans
words, and now realizing more fully
the horrors of the night before, Ell
enne replied in an unusually kind
fashion. But when he ended by or
dering that repast be brought to

CHAPTER III.

The gray was flushing with rnse
) tints from the coming sun when a
loud knocking upon the entrance door
aroused the soldier on guard in the
hall
Open the door!" voice shouted
peremptorily. "Tatro! Pierre. A
thousand devils! You fools inside
there, open the door, say!"
The disturbance brought Grelcire
from his improyised couch at the rear
OF the hall; and climbing the ladder.
he pushed his head through the bro
ken window for sight of who might
be outside.
"Who are you?" demanded the
young man standing before the door,
his voice indicating surprise as he
looked at the face of the soldier above
him.
That is what should like to have

the details of the attire worn by the
aristocratically clad visitor.
'Dame!" now exclaimed the latter,
evidently more angry than before.
What business can it be of yours?
Who are you, that dare cavil over
opening to me the door of my fathers
hcuse?"
'He is but one; and there are two
. of us to handle such a cocksparrow
as | could easily overcome alone, with
one hand" said Greloire scornfully,
as the bars fell, and Etienne entered,
somewhat paler than usual, and his
hair and raiment disheveled from an
allnight's concealment In one of the
I, outbuildings of the chateau.
Wishing to see the baron. in order
to press his demand for more funds,
the young man had unannounced,
come down from Paris. and chanced
to arrive the evening before, during
the wildes' 2art of the melee.

the baron's body was borne from the
house.
Margot was not of those who had
stood about the tomb. Etienne's tenn
porary absence from the house being
assured, she had improved the oppor-
tunity to open the secret panel and re-
move the metal box and bags of coin,
which she hid away amongst her own
belongings. She proposed. with Jean
Toulon, where a large number of Roy
alists, together with others who had
suffered persecution from the Revolu-
tionists, had found refuge.
Presently she saw Etienne enter
the drawing room, where Jean had
remained, having refused to leave the
lieutenant who was now seated at a
table. examining some papers found
upon the dead Fauchel; and consider
ing this an opportune time to make
known her plans, she had turned
toward the door, when Etienne's
voice, full of its old-time arrogance
came to her.
Jean, leave the room instantly, and
go to your bed."
Margot paused in the doorway and
saw Jeans head raised with bel
ligerent poise. Il will not go for you,
Etienne, when you order me in such
rude fashion, he said, his voice
shaking with rage.
Uttering vile oath. Etienne strobe
forward, and seizing him by the col.
lar dragged the boy from the chair
and began striking him.
Monsieur Etienne, do not you do
that" cried Margot, rushing toward
him. "Ah. mon Dieu! How can you
have the heart, and at such a time
as this?"
Jean was struggling in a wild fury,

now had come to pass, her perplexed
brain had at length evolved a plan
which seemed both wise and feasible.
But before attempting to put 1t into
execution, curious impulse urged
her to take the young officer into her
confidence. Looking up into the cold,
clean-cut face before her, she asked,

showed none, for he answered her
with kindly assurance. He then Joined

The two dead soldiers were buried
early In the afternoon; but the stars
were coming out when the door of
the great vault was closed, and the
late baron left to sleep with his an
cestors.
Etienne, silent and repelling, stood
by, vouchsafing little notice of anyone
about him. Jean had taken care to
keep away from his half-brother;
and the latter replied with scant cour-
tesy to the lieutenant's salutation,
when they met for the first time, as

When you come down to the very

Mr.. Mimnaugh is abreast of the

millinery for the benefit Of his Gus

the latest styles aud patterns in dress

are full of values and those who fail
to see this stock before making their

On January 30tb, 1904, the death
angel visited the home and took
away our Brother Irwin H. Nuna-
maker, and be was transferred from
labor to an eternal reward. He had

gone from the busy cares of life to
the Joys of the saints in light. The

was a devoted and af9ctionate hus-
band, kind and loving father,
considerate and loving friend, legal
citizen, a man Of sterling integrity,
a patient sufferer and was esteemed
and loved by all who knew him.
Therefore be it,
Resolved 1st. That while we mourn
his loss and cherish his memory, we
bow in submission to the will cf God.
2ad. That Uoion church and Lex
ington Fork Circuit has lost an
efficient and faithful worker.
3cd. That we extend our sympa-
thy and coincidence to his bereaVed
family.

placed on a page of the minutes Of

Lexington, S. @.
Dear Sir: A big mill-owner, Spar
tanburg, S. c., wanted $500 gallons
of paint, and bought by price; paid
cents less than ours; got ''lead-
and zinc" paint; but the lead was
sulphate OF lead, not carbonate. Sui
phate costs about half; and covers
about half.
That paint was sdultersted about
six times as much as the 5 cents paid
for. He saved" cents; and it cost
him 80.
On nc; it cost him more than that;
we forgot the labor. Can't work it
out exactly; don't know how long It'll
wear.
Short measure besides; that alone
was twice as much as his ''saving" 5
cents.
It was thin, toe; some loss there;
don't know how much.
There was too much dryer in it.
The maker made something on that;
he didn't.
Taking it altogether, be didn't
make much by that 5 cents.
Go by The name: and the name
is De7oe lead apd.zinc.
Yours truly,
