What the Valet Heard

JULIE LEMAITRE, Lady Ermvntrude's maid
y yielded for a little while to the paroxysm of
fearful fright when her mistress did not return
from the chapel At first she paid little heed to the
alarm displayed by the other servants as the rumor
spread that there had been miracle attended by
extraordinary manifestations, in the disused and
lcgcnd-haunted sanctuary.
Not knowing the language, she attributed the
mutterings of terror of the Russian domestics to
the state OF unrest which had possessed the house
hold during many days. The flames darling from

days with the hcavy-faCed muzhikS that he hardly
could fail to know them again, even in the uniform
of their order. He scarcely had convinced himself
that he was not mistaken when a determined rush
by the besicgers drove his father and himself up the
stairs again. They were seen by the enemy, and
a voice cried, in good, clear French:

Come to We your friends"
They were swept away instantly, and hurried
council resulted in their being taken needless of
protests, back to the tower they had left
Caringham, stamping about room in which he
and his father were locked, climbed into a recess
where the dim light of the stars was visible.
He smashed the dirty glass and woodwork with
his foot and looked out. Far beneath lay a tiny
square courtyard, and even in the gloom he was
almost certain that he was gazing down into the
walled Enclosure from whose depths he so often had
looked up during many weary days of imprisonment
He told his father, and the Earl scrutinzing the
place. agreed with him. The mystery was so pro-
found that they could not discuss it then
Moreover, they were interrupted. The door was
unlocked, and they were brought out amid great
and joyful excitement. \ sotnia of Cossacks had
arrived, the surviving assailants were flying in all
directions, and they would be given safe conduct

assured that the vicinity free from lurking foes
