armed with some authority vested in

Three of the prominent ingredients OF

follows that it must be greatly strength

probably the most important ingredient

They grasp the plan of this shrewd
friend whom the project has sent to
| their assistance-it is simple enough
in its way, and they can hardly make
a mistake.
Once they enter the empty house,
their leader produces small lantern
which he lights, and thus all can see
to ascend the stairs. In this way the
roof is finally gained, scuttle being
the last obstacle that has to be over
come.
There is enough light for them to
see the wall of the building rising up
beyond, also the window with its
wooden bars, at which the street Arab
held converse with the prisoners of
NJ. Girard.
Dick is for rushing forward, but the
leader detains him.
Pardon" he whispers, 1--WE must
bring up the ladder that leads to the
scuttle-something is needed to reach
the window-we must tear off the
bars and help the ladies down, you re-
member"
So the short ladder is drawn up,
carefully carried across the interven.
ing roof and placed where it will
pass up beside the barred window.
Hardly waiting until M. Francois an
nounces the ladder firm, Dick mounts.
His face is now close to the window
all, is dark within, and of course he
can see nothing.
miss Pauline!"
He utters the name in a whisper be-
tween the wooden bars, but no reply
comes-then he raises his voice lit
tie and repeats it, with no better re-
suit than before.
A third time he calls, and again
only a hooking echo is hurled back.
Then a hideous fear assails him that
some evil has befallen those whom he
came to save-his hand is on one of
the bars-he impetuously exerts the
strength of his muscular arm-few
things could withstand the mighty
power thus brought into play, and
the bar comes away in his grasp. He
pushes It through into the room, hears

When he finds himself in the room
Dick once more calls that name, al
ready so precious to him, but the re
suit is the samoa dead silence is
his only answer.
He has matches, and without hest
tation takes one out to strike 1t. Nc
sooner does the flame blaze up than
his eyes make a circuit of the small
apartment.
What does he see?-a couple of
chairs, a small table, bed-that is
all!
Disappointment as keen as a knife
grasps his heart. What does this
mean. Did the note that the lad
brought deceive them? All! there is
the story of the secret agent-surely
there must be truth back of it all.
Then they have changed the room
of the two prisoners-that must be it.
He lights another match-it is Heav-
en-born inspiration, for upon the ta-
BILE he discovers something that
escaped his eyes during the first illu-
mination.
1t is piece of paper, held under
specimen of stone, a number of which
can be seen upon little shelf on the
wall.
In an instant Dick bends over it
his eyes are glued to the paper that
tells the story:
Kind Friends: We are in trouble

the curiosities of all Paris. We have
been notified that in half an hour,

Just then Dicks match burns his
fingers, and he drops the remnant.
Another is quickly held in his grasp,
and its light flares up. He reads on:

Again the match goes out. but Dick
does not care now. He knows where
the door lies, and is Immediately at it,
shakes it vigorously as an imprisoned
lion might the door of his cage. 1t is
quite useless, for a heavy bar or bolt
secures it outside.
He returns to the window; since one
plan has failed he will try another.
Down the ladder he goes quickly, to
meet his comrades at the foot.
"Well?" says the Frenchman.
What luck, old fellow?" demands
Colonel Bob.
"The room is empty and the door
barred"
At this the others express their dis
appointment by a succession Of
grunts, but the acute Gaul has read
more in the voice of the messenger.
you are not hopeless-you have at
least made one discovery" he ejacu-
lates, whereupon Dick only too glad
ly relates all about the finding Of the
letter, and what 1t contains-he has
the words very pat, while the missive
itself lies in a pocket next his heart,
perhaps some day to be framed and
hung up in remembrance of what be-
fell them in gay, wicked Paris.
Just as he expects, the projects
agent is ready to grapple with the
new difficulty-he never allows such
thing to daunt him.

denly.
"And found il secure-it would take

(which would arouse the whole in-
stitution-we must adopt other tao

a slip on this sloping roof would be
apt to be followed by unpleasant con-
sequences" with a shrug of his shout
ders, which indicates a good deal more
than his words do.
The ladder is once more brought
hack to its legitimate use, and soon
they find themselves again upon the
street, close by the entrance OF the
grim building.
The Frenchman turns to Colonel
Bob.

If American editors would but en-

a national costume. Now we can only
hope.
However, we will propose a few
rules in our. department Of regulating
female costume, as sample of our
taste. These will be prohibitory mere

of eradicating or exposing false no.
lions before enforcing right ideas.

2. No lady shall wear colored or
clouded stockings with white dress;
8. No married lady shall appear in
