verse, gave sudden cough.
The lovers started guilty apart. He stood
up and said smilingly; ut is thus you inter
rupt my repose; you, Ludwig, who should be on
guard, you, Desire, who should be in your tent
and fast asleep by this"
0eltien hung his head at the reproof, and
stammered: "I can see the Counts tent quite
easily from here, Frank"
"Oh, Of course, and you were watching it! But
there, do not think any great harm is done in
this instance. It is always thus, however; when
love wakes, duty sleeps. Is it not soY
"You heard?"
Enough to convince me that you have much
cause TO be Congratulated do so now with all
my heart-and you, too, Desire; your future
husband is one of the best men I have ever
known"
"He is a beautiful man, Lord Francis" re-
piled Desire artlessly: "I love him very much"
THANK you, my friend" muttered Oeltjen.
"Rather sudden though, isn't it?" whispered
Cressngham with aniable satire.
"Hushl" replied the other; "she knows moth

not think so; we have already known each other
four days, and we did not become affanced un-

"I feel as though had known Ludwig all my

Cressingham laughed, and waved his hand
"Wel old boy, I'll not disturb you further, but

he was worn out and exhausted But the young
man found that he could not sleep in spite Of
his great weariness. At last, utterly tired Of
the struggle, he got to his feet and wandered
along the beach away from the camp towards
the nearest promontory, and threw himself
down in sandy nook shaded by jagged rocks.
How long Cressingham slept, he did not know.
He was aroused by the sound of voices quite
near to him, the soft-toned voices of man and
maid murmuring together underneath the can.

ly indignant with his friend for quitting the
post assigned to him without permission.
Cressinghsm raised himself noiselessly to his
elbow. He did not want to spy upon his friend,
and yet he had distinguished something in the
Counts voice that surprised him, note of ad.
miration, almost passion. 0elten was standing
upon the sand Desire-dressed in the costume
of woman-beside him. They were holding each

made,

boat was instantly lowered, and Pergord. tax
ing his place in the stern sheets was rowed
swiftly to the beach. He was met by Cressing-
ham and Oeltjen,, who presented their reports
with speed and brevity.
Perigord complimented them on all thew had
achieved, and then asked to see the prisoner.
to whom he said he wished Immediately To an
nounce sentence of death, as it had been deter
mined in council to execute the Count without
delay and without trial. When the three rem
tlemen entered the Counts tent the old man
sat up and stared fxedly at his enemies He
had just eaten his lunch, the remains of which
rested on tray beside his mattress; consequent

Afterwards, sir, perhaps; / have come TO in

"Prince" nterjected the old man sharply.
Perigord shrugged his shoulders. Count

be your executioners. / personally obtained this
indulgence to be granted you in Difference to
your undoubted rank, so that you may die in
the manner of a gentleman. You may look,
however, for no other fayors."
The Count d'Attala replied with the most
perfect compOsure' "You have doner

silver and jewels had been transferred 70 the
shore and stored in the boathouse, together with
az papers and documents existing on the island.
The Castle itself had been ransacked from top
70 potion. The printing presses, founts Of type
ana Typographical machines had been ruthlessly
destroyed, and the more valuable furniture pic
lures, books, statues, carpets, rugs, chairs, ta-
pies, etc, removed TO the beach and stacked un-
DER canvas tents, ready for expectation imme
dlately that the waves should have abated.
That evening cable arrived from Perigord:
Keep Count and Desire with sufficient force
Of my own men, including 0eltjen, on island,
and await me; dispatch Sea Hawk with all other
prisoners to Tuns, where have arranged every.
thing for their reception; afterwards Sea Hawk
will proceed TO Naples, landing officers and 9th
er volunteers and there remain until word from
me- / set out for island tomorrow night No
news yet Madame or Miss Elliott; perhaps res
oued by ocean steamer"
Such contradictory commands seemed unlike
Pergord, but Cressingham had no choice except
to obey. An hour afterwards the Sea Hawk
steamed out Of the harbor with its cargo of
prisoners bound for Africa, leaving Desire, Cres
singham and 0eltien standing on the beach of
the bay waving their adieus. tent had been
erected to shelter the Count d'Attala, and with
in it the old man lay alone with his reflections
but securely guarded, for besides his shackles
six armed sailors formed Gordon without the
canvas.
Cressingham had decided to camp out with his
whole party on the sand during their remaining
sojourn on the island rather than take up quar-
ters in the Castle, course which would have
entailed great deal Of useless toll
Cressingham gave Oeltjen the first watch, for
Los Angeles herald., 1906-09-02


kmmyM Cressingham's first care on returning
lNSfEV to the island was to obtain this man
to dispatch cable TO the Counts sta
ton on the mainland of Italy to ascertain If
Perigord had yet succeeded in capturing the
place. After some thought he caused to be
transmitted simply his own name.
Half an hour later a reply came equally Ia.
nic--"Perigord"
The young man, reassured by that cabled a
concise report of his capture of Attala, ayine
especial emphasis on the fact that Madame vi.
yella and Miss Elliott had disappeared, adyanc.
ing his opinion that they had fled to sea in the
missing boat. He begged Perigord to use all his
influence to discover ii they had been picked up
by any passing steamer.
Perigord's answer was satisfactory; he prom.
ised to do all that Cressingham desired and
commanded the young man to remain upon the
island carefully guarding the prisoners until he
himself arrived.
The remainder of that day Cressngham de-
voted to rigorous examination of the Island,
assisted by a score a anxious helpers, but al.
though every nook and Granny capable Of con
cealing a rabbit was carefully explored no trace
Of the missing ladies was discovered
Face to face with facts whose stubbomness
refused him any further hope, he resolutely
thrust disturbing thoughts behind him, and set
to work with fiery energy to carry out Perigords
instructions regarding Attala For two days he
toiled with his companions like common la
borer, doing more than his share Of the work.
AT the end OF that time everything was com
pleted. The Counts enormous treasure Of gold.

Unable paper of June FL you publish
an article on, the editorial page entitled

In which you give the names of MEM
bers OF the United States Senate "who
served their country In the war Of the
rebellion" In which list I fail to find
the name Of the Hon. Nelson w. AID
rich, the senior Senator from Rhode
Island. The Adjutant-General's Report
Of Rhode Island for 1855 says:
ION the 25th of May. 1852. at mid
night. q dispatch was received by Gov.
Sprague. announcing that the enemy in
great force were marching on Washing
ton, and calling for every available man
to rally In it's defense. Just an hour
later the Governor issued an order for
two regiments OF infantry and battery
of artillery for immediate service. The
response was prompt and the ranks
were quickly filled, marching orders
were given and the 10th r. /. reported
for duty at the Capital on the 29th OF
May"

HOld IrOnsides."

The Navy Department is In posses
sion of plans Of the old ship Constitu-
ton, dating back as far as 1917, show
ing the rigging Of the vessel at that
time. On the basis OF these plans the
work Of restoring the Constitution to
its original condition will soon be be-
gun at the Boston Navy Yard. Changes
made from time to time on the vessel
to At her for active service have totally
transformed her original appearance.
A thorough study has been made OF
plans from the records Of the early
Navy to enable the Department to re-
produce faithfully the rigging, the in
ternal arrangement, and the position OF
the guns on the ship. In place Of metal
guns dummy ordnance will be used to
indicate the original armament.
