threats, and Withdrawing from the
window she sat again at the table and
drank her coffee and ate the sour
bread, and shut her ears to the oni-
nous cries.
The bells of the cathedral, muff1ed by
those tremendous walls, chimed the
hour Of eleven before the brief repast
was over. If she had any consolation OF
suspense, it was that the ordeal must
be brief. She could see 1t so clearly In
her mind; the dimly lighted court, the
blazing uniforms. the scarlet robes,
the stern fgures-one man against
nation, and he alone! Loyalty to her
ideals said that the prisoner would play
a brave part, answering lies with scorn
and conspiracy with Indifference.
When a volley of applause from the
square heralded some greater event,
she forgot her resolution and ran to the
window. believing that the end had

was called "the prison" Massive
walls. loopholed windows, spoke of the
antiquity OF the Princes OF Cadi five
hundred years ago, and in the days Of
SPANS bigotry many an offender had
breathed his last within those gloomy
portals. Here, upon the first floor, in
that which once had been the barti-
zan Of the fortress. an apartment was
prepared for Esther, so cherries. so
bare, that no prison cell would have
spoken more eloquently of captivity.
Damp-stained walls displayed no other
ornament than that Of their wheels Of
swords and rusted armor. Save for one
little easement overlooking the square
before the Hotel de Vile. the windows
were but loopholes in battlements of
rock A gigantic fireplace, with a rude
oaken ingle. nursed a smoldering fire Of
steaming logs. The air reeked of damp

against a table that would not have

tons concerning that presently; but

manded TO hold you a prisoner in this
house"
He stood aside to permit her to enter
the dismal cell, and for a little while
she regarded it with open-eyed aston
ishment. Logically. perhaps, she pre-
ferred this open declaration of hostility
to the sham courtesies of yesterday.

white stone of the Hottest buildings.
The steps Of the hotel were a glittering
sheen of rainbow hues. to which the
crimson robes Of the Judges. and the
white uniforms of the guard lent their
staring contrasts. The crowd itself
swayed like a shimmering field Of hui
man corn. Fierce but brief tumults de-
clared the latent passion OF angry par
ties. The gendarmes were everywhere,
cajolins, threatening, beating the peo-
pie back with the flats of their swords.
All seemed to wait for some figure ne
cessary to the pageant and it's story.
Esther knew that they waited for her
husband. She needed no logician's wit
to understand that she had been i'm
prisoned in that very apartment to be
the spectator of Arthur's humiliation.
Such shallow device earned her just
scorn. She resolved that she would
yield nothing to persecution or to

madame" he said. 1.-THE Duke is wait

She stood up bravely, and all her dig
nifty helping her, she pointed to the
paper.
1T is there, Colonel"
He did not reproach her; her surprise
mastered him, and he folded up the
paper deliberately and with method.
Madame" he asked at last, ARE you
aware what this means?"
'I am aware, Colonel"
THAT 1 am carrying your husbands

She did not finch.
II know it," she said, mistaken.
He took a step toward her and held
out his hand.
'I salute brave woman!" he said
She did not speak. Her lips were
twitching, her eyes dilated and turned
full upon his own. Not until he left her
did she break down utterly and burst
into a passionate flood of tears.

defied her and she would not barter
with it. Her love-dream, so brief, was
surely done with now! She saw herself
cast out to the world to mourn eter-
nally the man without whom life had
no meaning. When she staggered up
from her knees the pallor of death was
upon her face, her eyes were blind so
that she could scarcely find the paper.
She sank heavily into the chair, and for
many minutes did not raise her face
from those arms which hid it from the
light.
What should she write? What must
her answer be to him who so tortured
her, who had found her out in London
but seven months ago and saved her
for this! Better, she said, that it had
ended then; better the degradation, the
poverty the humiliation than this vi
sion of the dream, this knowledge Of
love and light and the surprising hour
of woe. She had not asked the help of
any man. Destiny might have spared
her so easily! And now she must repay
to the uttermOst farthing for her brief
respite. If she could but stand with
Arthur before his judges to answer
them as he would answer them, to hear
their judgment and suffer it, then, in
deed might this self-accusation avail
her. But she knew that the wish was
vain. The dread thought came to her
that the eternal farewell might have
been spoken. She sobbed aloud, heart
broken and believing the worst

But you can see it all, madame, If you

Esther heard with surprise. From
her window she could look down upon
the square before the Hotel de Vile,
and upon the crowds already gathered
there; and she wondered that curiosity
had not sent her there before. Though
the scene was viewed from afar, no de-
tail of it's picture escaped her. Every
window, every roof. tree and wall and
fountain, contributed its quotum to
that mighty audience, always pic
turesque and entirely heterogeneous.
The display of color was worthy Of a
southern race, she said. Flags, BAN
nerets. gay tapestries covered uD the

paper might be used in evidence
against the man they would condemn.

would be caught up in her mind to be

knew that she had none. Never had
she been more utterly alone.
The pen tumbled from her unwilling
fingers-she said that she would an

new resolve mistaken when he re-
turned at the appointed time. He had
not expected it, for, like many In the
city, he believed that she was an adj

Now, at last, she knew the truth Of her
position; and her sense Of humor re-
naming TO her, she could laugh at the
folly which named her as a servant Of
France.
Your ministry is most discreet!"
she retorted. Il am glad to see that I
am so important a parsonage. When
this preposterous charge is a little
more definite, 1 shall be quite ready to
defend myself. Really, I must be q
very clever woman!"
He bowed gravely, for no man had
seen Colonel Varez smile; and calling
to a trooper who waited upon the stair
case, he babe him bring paper and
pens.
II am merely the servant. madame;
permit me to decline any argument.
The Duke awaits your answer in a
matter which is more urgent. Please
make IL as soon as possible; I will re-
turn In half an hour"
He STROBE from the room, and the
heavy door shut with a clang which
re-echoed through the empty building.
A trooper had left a sheet of paper
with pen and ink upon the table, and
for a while Esther stood wondering
what she should write and with what
unknown consequences. She was still
wearing the winter cloak in which she
had gone to the citadel, and her first
act was to loose it and throw 1t over
the wooden chair, where its bright lin
ing Of pink silk gave a patch Of well
come color TO that dismal place There
after she knelt before the fire and
dered a little in that atmosphere Of
damp and evil humors. The plain fact
that the gates of a prison had closed
upon her at last troubled her less than
the base intrigue which would have
made her the agent of her husbands
compliance. Though she had been pre-
pared for threats and entreaties. a GER
tain confidence in the ultimate triumph
of justice had upheld her until this
time; but here, within this cell, hope

come; but the scene was unchanged,
the mob, if anything, more dense; the
sunshine more brilliant. The outcry
died down as suddenly as 1t had arisen.
The people waited patiently when the
knife did not clinch their arguments.
She returned to the fireside, and STIR

close to them. Ages seemed to pass
before the merry trooper returned, full
of the story of the morning. She ques-
toned him eagerly. forgetful Of her
dignity, DESTROYS only to know. He re-
piled as readily, for he was proud Of
the authority of knowledge.
The Prince, he said, carried himself
splendidly. His appearance in the
streets pleased the people. The priests
were on his side but the bourgeoisie
were against him. His judges took
their orders from the Duke of Montal-
van and were not to be trusted. The
Princes answers had embarrassed
them exceedingly. They charged him
with receiving money from the French
Government and intriguing with the
Carlists. But the count of treachery
was one upon which they chiefly relied.
He would have sold Cadi to France.
