Tt may not matter to you-there's no accounting for tastes-but it mat ters a good deal to me- I'm not used to sitting in hole, like a bear in a trap, waiting for what other folks choose to do with me-"
 There's no help but patience, my friend"
 T don't know that. I'd get more help out of a bar and a few pegs" He opened his coat and took out a short piece of rusted iron and three small. thick pieces of wood, sharpened at one end.
 "Where did you get those. thenr"
 'These are my nights work. The bar is the top one of the grate. I had job to loosen 1t. but there 1t is. The pegs I whittled out of that log. You see, peg number one goes in here. where I have picked a hole between the stones. Then I've made this other log into mallet, and with two cracks there 1t is firm fixed so that you can put your weight on it. Now these two go in the same way into the holes above here. So! Now, you see. you can stand up there and look out of that window without asking too much of your toe joint Try it."
 De Catinat sprang up and looked eagerly out between the bars.
 'T do not know the place." said he. shaking his head. Tt may be any one of thirty castles which lie upon the south side of Paris and within six or seven leagues of it."
 He was dropping back to the floor and put his weight upon the bar. To hls amazement it came away in his hand.
 Look. Amos: lookr' he cried.
 "Ah. you've found 1t out! We'll. I did that during the night. I could make no way with my knife. but when | got the bar out of the grate I man. aged faster. I'll put this one back now. or some of those folk down below may notice that we have got 1t loose"
 "Are they all looseT'
 "only the one at present. but we'll get the other two out during the night. You can take that bar out and work with it while I use my own picker at the other. You see, the stone is soft. and by grinding 1t you soon make . groove along which you can slip the bar. It will be mighty queer if we can't clear q roed for ourselves before morning

 The two comrades did not dare to do any work during the day for fear they should be surprised by the jsflef or observed from without The instant that night fell they were both up upoa the pegs. grinding away at the hard stone and trxEinz at the bars.

Two sobbing gasps and the thud of their strainlng necks falling back to earth told that the two steeds had come to the end of their troubles.
 Where is Achille Latoury' asked De vivonne. He has studied medicine at MontpellIer."

Thers was no sign of bridge, and . black shadow in the center of tho stream showed where the ferryboat was returning after conveying some belated travellers across. The driver never hesitated, but, gathering up the reins, he urged the frightened crea- lures into the river. They hesitated. however, when they first felt the cold water about their hooks. and even as they did so one of them. with q low moan, fell over upon her side. Des- pard's bullet had found its mark. Like < flash the coachman hurled himself from the box and plunged into tho stream, but the pursuing horsemen were all round him before this. and half a dozen hands had seized him ere he could reach deep water and had dragged him to the bank. His broad hat had been struck oil in the struggle. and Dc Catinat saw his face in the moonshine. Great heavensl It was Amos Green.

It was De Catinat who observed him nrst. and he sprang down at him in an instant with his bar, but at his movement the man rushed for the door and drew it after him just as the American's tool whizzed past his ear and down the passage
 Tt is scarce worth while to go on,y said De Catinat.
 We may as we'll be doing that ao anything else. If my picker had been, an inch lower I'd have had him. Wen.

 A great bell bad begun to ring in the chateau. and there was a loud bun of voices and cisfter of feet upon the stones. Hoarse orders were shoutDd, and there was the sound of turning keys. Five minutes passed. however. and yet another five minutes. without any one appearing.

4 tell you that the bishop is therer' cried Amos Green.

'f tell you that the bishop Is there.' cried Amos Green.
 He is, he is," said De Catinat sooth- lngly. He Is most certainly there. I trust that you have no pain?"
 The American raved in the air with his knotted fists. You think that I'm crazed," he cried. land. by the eternal, you are enough to make me so! When I say that I sent the bishop I mean that I saw to the job. You remember when l stepped back to your friend the major?"
 It was the soldiers turn to grow ex- cited now. "well?" he cried, gripping the others arm.
 Well. when we send scout into the woods. if the matter Is worth 1t, we send a second one at another hour, and so one or other comes back with his hair on. That's the Iroquois fashion, and a good fashion too"
 My God, I believe that you have saved mel
 "I went back to the major then. and I asked him when he was in Paris to pass by the archbishop's door. show ed him this lump of chalk. If we've been there. said I. you'll see a great cross on the left side of the doorpost. If there's no cross. then pull the latch and ask the bishop if he'll come up to the palace as quick as his horses can bring him. The major started an hour after us. He would be in Paris by half past 10; the bishop would be in his car riage by II. and he would reach Yer sailles half an hour ago-that is to say. about half past 12. By the Lord. I think I've driven him on his head-'
 De Catinat spun round the cell now, waving his arms and his legs. with his shadow capering up the wall behind him. all distorted in the moonlight.
 "Oh. if could but do something for you!" he exclaimed.
 You csn. then. Lie down on that straw and go to sleep"
 By persuasions and a little pushing he got his delighted companion on to his couch again and heaped the straw over him Co serve as a blanket.
 So weary was the young guardsman that 1t was long past noon and the sun was shining out of cloudless blue sky before De awoke. For 6 moment. enveloped ss he was in straw. and with the rude arch of the dungeon meeting in four rough hevn groinings above his head. he stared about him ia bewiIierment. Then in an instant the dolnes of the day before. his mis- sion. the smbuscade. his imprisonment. all nashed back to him. and he sprans to his feet. His comrade. who had been dozing in the corner. jumped up also at the first movement. with his hand on his knife and . sinister glance directed toward the door.

pIoNEER'S SKELETON FOUND
AFTER MANY YEARS.

The skeleton OF Enoch Holloway

ley of the North Fork country and
who was hemmed in and murdered
by Dand of Utes on the warpatll
in the vicinity of Hotchkiss. Colo
rado, thirty years ago. was found re-

ana other personal possessions. which
have deiied the destructive influences
OF the elements for thirty years. We're
discovered under circular pile of
rocks five miles from Hotehkiss. on
what Is known as the Harrison Wood
ranch
The finding of the skeleton clears
up mystery of three decades and re-
calis life story that is full of love
romance and pathos. The fate of
Holloway who sought home in the
FERTILE and productive North Fork
country, has always been a matter of
conjecture. When last heard from
he was surrounded by Utes on the
warpath, whom he was fighting from
behind the improvised, cobblesfoue
tort that has. for thirty years, been
his tomb.
There is no question whatever as

the rifle and other articles found. the

HEARST NOT ENDORSED.
Editors Coin Fails to Win Good VIII
of Labor Delegates.

BINGHAMTON, Sept. 1.-THE State
convention of the State Federation of
Labor closed here today without In
dorsing the candidacy of William RAN
dolph Hearst for Governor, although
Mr.. Hearst's henchmen had, it is al
legged, spent $4,000 among the dele
gates to the convention and used every
means in their power to push through
the resolution desired by them.
John S. Whalen, the Hearst nominee
for Secretary of State, was a delegate
to the convention from Rochester, but
even his influence could not bring the
convention. to favor the Hearst e1e-
ment, 1t was openly charged that the
Hearst workers used every means pos
sible to corrupt the delegates. and it
is known that at least dozen of the
delegates were treated to champagne
until they were unable to attend the
sessions of the convention and were
then locked in their rooms at the hotels
in order to keep them from opposing
the Hearst movement.
