The men will have no serious
objection to women proposing
as the leading New York ladies
claim they have right to, but
a proposal carries with it an obi
cation, i. e., the one who propos-
es is supposed to support the one
proposed to. A goodly number
of women support their husbands
anyway-and majority of them
are forced TO support themselves
even though they have strong,
able. bodied husbands.

them and the clumsy old vehicle bound
ing along In a way which threw him
backward and forward from one seat
to the other. Behind him he could hear
a shout of CONSERVATION from the es-
cort and then the rush OF galloping
hoofs. Fast as the coach went, its
pursuers went faster still. The rattle
Of their hoofs was at the very back,
and suddenly at n of the windows
there came into view the red, dlstend-
ed nostrlls Of a horse. Slowly 1t drew
forward, the muzZle, the eye, the ears,
the name, coming into sight as the
rider still gained, and then above them
the fierce face of Despard and the
CLEAN Of a brass pistol.
"At the horse, Despard; at the horse!"
cried an authoritative voice from be-
hind.
The pistol flashed, and the coach
lurched over as one Of the horses gave
a convulslye spring. But the driver
still shrieked and dashed with his whip,
while the carriage bounded onward.
But now the road turned a sudden
curve. and there, right In front OF
them, not a hundred PAGES away, was
the Seine, running cold and still IN the
moonshine. The bank on either side
of the highway a straight down With
out any break to the waters edge.
There was no sign Of a bridge, and a
black shadow In the center Of the
stream showed where the ferryboat
was returning after conveying some
belated travellers across. The driver
never hesltated, but, gathering up the
reins, he urged the frightened g
lures into the river. They hesltated,
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

CURED to his mind. Might he not even
now be in time perhaps to carry his
own message? Who were these men
who had seized him? And where were
they taking him to? Full Of curiosity,
he peered out Of the windows.
A horseman was riding close up on
either side, but there was glass in
front of the carriage, and through this
he could gain ONE idea as to his where
abouts. The clouds had cleared now,
and the moon was shining brightly,
bathing the whole wide landscape In
its shimmering light. To the right lay
the open country, broad plains with
clumps of woodland and the towers of
castles pricking out from above the
groves. On the left. but far away, lay
the glimmer Of Paris. They were leav-
ing it rapidly behind. whatever his
destination, it was neither the capital
nor Versailles. Then be began TO count
the chances of escape. His sword had
been removed, and his pistols were still
in the holsters beside his unfortunate
horse. He was unarmed, then, even il
lac SOuld litG hllLlctlls anu lis td1lOIS
were at least a dozen In number. There
were three on ahead, riding abreast
along the white moonlit road. Then
there was one on each side, and he
should judge by the CHATTER of hoofs
that there could not DE fewer than half
a dozen behind. That would make ex-
actly twelve, including the coachman-
too many, surely, for an unarmed man
to hope to battle. At the thought of the
coachman he had glanced through the
glass front at the broad back Of the
man, and he had suddenly In the glim.
mer Of the carriage lamp observed
something which struck him with hor-
ror.
The man was evidently desperately
wounded. 1t was strange indeed that
he could still sit there and flick his
whip with so terrible an injury. In
the back of his great red coat, just un-
der the left shoulder blade, was d cash
In the cloth where some weapon had
passed, and all round was a wide patch
Of dark scarlet which told Its own tale.
Nor @s this all. As he raised his
whip the moonlight shone upon his
hand, and De Catinat saw, with a
shudder, that it also was splashed and
clogged with blood. The guardsman
craned his neck to catch a glimpse Of
the mans face, but his broad brimmed
hat was drawn low. and the high col.
lar Of his driving coat was raised, so
that his features were in the shadow.
where the main road ran onward. but
a smaller side track wound away down
the steep slope Of a hill, and so In the
direction of the Seine. The advance
guard had kept to the main road and
the two horsemen on either side were
t~rotting In the same direction when, to
