, chute. disappears in the black mouth
Of the conduit above; a broadsword
whistles through the darkness and his
head rolls silently on the floor. Soon
afterward. a soldier. clothed in the
dead lieutenant's garments, and wear
ing his plumed hat, leans from the
window and motions the waiting Hu-
guenots to ascend. One by one they
are lifted by the pulley, one by one
they disappear in the conduit, and
one by one their headless bodies are
dragged aside.
Like a monstrous ghoul, the conduit
has already devoured thirty Hugue-
nots, when Montgomery himself halt
ed the proceedings. He knew his men.
He was astonished at the obstinate
silence within the walls, and growing
impatient called to ask why the gates
were still fast locked.
''Surely thirty men ought to over
power dozen sentries.
A low voice answered from above,
"All goes we'll; the monks in this
part Of the abbey have all been put to
the sword"
"Throw one down." replied the
Huguenot commander.
A quarter of an hour after the order
was obeyed, and the body of monk
came hurting through the air. (The
defenders of the citadel had taken a
prisoner from his cell and promised
him his liberty if he kept silent
while they shaved his head and robed
him in monkish vestments. Then, with
a dagger, tLay made good their prom
ise.)
Examining the figure of the cor
pse, Montgomery was struck by the
contrast between the parts newly
shaven, which were white, and the
rest of the head, which was swarthy.
He grew even more suspicious, and,
brave leader that he was, decided to
mount the pulley and see for himself ;
but as he seized the swinging rope he
was gently pushed aside, and it was
his devoted page who made the as
cent. In his haste, the boy had not
fastened the rope around his body,
but clung to it's simply with his
hands. Reaching the conduit, he let
go the cord, and balanced himself on
the edge Of the sill while he peered
within. A blood-smeared hand is
sued from the darkness to seize him
by the hair, and with one agonizing
scream he let himself fall backward,
to be dashed upon the. rocks below.
Thereupon, the beseiged, who had no
longer any reason for guarding sill
ence, rushed to the ramparts to show
er stones and arrows on the Hugue-
nots, who fled across the sands. That
night the torches in Catholic signal
towers wrote "Victory' in letters Of
flame upon the stormswept sky.

Montgomery remained notlonleS>
before the body Of the fallen boy. His
warriors returned and led him away.
The page was his son.
Note:-The story of the signal tow
ers and torches has never been in
print. The old towers herein describ-
ed are mentioned in the guide-books
simply and solely as ''ancient wind
mills" and are known to *touriests
merely as such.

Big Hat Holds Train.

Pittsburg, Pa, April 1g.-For
five minutes the Pacific Express on
the Pennsylvania Railroad was de
laycd this morning by an Easter
hat. When the East Liberty sta
ton was reached young and beau
tiful woman who boarded the train
at New York last night indicated
that she intended to get out. She
put ON her neN Easter hat and
started through the narrow aisle at
the side of the Pullman car. sud
denly She came to a stop The hat
was too wide to clear the passage
She tried to struggle forward but
could not, and then tried to back
up. But the hat was stuck fast and
she was nailed to it by half a dozen
hatpins.
There was great excitement. The
conductor demanded that the train
start and threatened to carry the
young woman on into the city. The
porter tried to shove her forward,
but it was no use. Then a travel
ing man suggested that she take the
hat off 1t hadn't ACQUIRED to heI
before. After much trouble She re
moved the hat pins Then she got
from under and the porter gave 1t a
yank. The hat cleared the aisle.
BY actual measurement the creation
was thirty-six inches all over.

Cooper's claim that the human stora-
ach is degenerate is distinctly verified.
One OF the most unusual statements
was made by Mr.. G. W. Woods, of 103
South Highland Street. He said: For
four years my wife was IN very poor
health. She was weak and thin, with
a hectic flush and cough. Physicians
said she had consumption. and I vas
inclined to believe them. 1t certainly
looked as though her days were num-
bered. and there appeared TO be very
little ground for hope
" Shortly after Mr. Cooper came To-
PittsbuTg I began to hear of wonderful
results that had been obtained by per-
sons who had tried his medicine. so
got some for my wife. She had taken
it only two days when she was relieved
OF a tapeworm A. feet long. She be-
gan to improve immediately-has gain
ed seven pounds since she began TAX
ing the medicine. She feels splendid
and looks very much better. IL any
one doubts this statement I would be-
pleased to have them call at my house
and verify it.
The Cooper remedies are be.
coming justly famous. We sell them.

British Admiralty.
Although the Investag0r was long

next generation and the generations

Moving and Speaking Pictures.

Meridian Dispatch.
Moving pictures and the phono-
graph are about tn be- com bincd to
such perfection that through this
medium uot only the actors in a
drama may be seen moving ON the
stage, but the words they speak
may be- heard 10y the audience. The
device bids fair, i'm some respects,
~ 1T seems, Is rcvolutOnize the
theatrical business.
The moving picture, says the
Brooklyn Eagle. are to cynchro-
uize with the phonograph, SO that
the voices of the actors shall be
heard accompanying the action pre-
cisely rs they would DO in the act

mains t0 be tested, says that pa
per, is whether the public viii ac-
crpt mechanical reproduction in
place Of THE flesh and blood person
aHties Of the actors it admires. VIII
the public accept shadow for sub
stance
The Eagle thinks that the me-
chanical ingenuity of the new de
vice must be confined to reprOduc-
tions at cheap prices for audiences
which cannot see the orignals-that
il may have d large field in carry
ing reproduction of plays to towns
which have enly halls or to audi
ences which can not pay the prices
charged To see the real actors.
Even this viii be great deal
Judging from the enjoyment afford
"a the public generally, as well as
the people i'm their private homes

ties through the instrumentality oi
the graphophone. 1t viii be some
thing after the order of the latter
on a much more extensive scale
The device win be employed for the
reproduction of the voices anC
movements of others than actors il

u.s. records Of their Orations-the lee
ture and the lecturer, the sermon
and the preacher; the great speecf
in the halls Of legislation, in th'
court, and on the hustings, anC
with it the statesman, the lawyer
and the political debater.
Since we can see living men anC
women moving on a canvas betor
us without hearing them, and cal
hear them in the graphophone with
out seeing them, it requires but lit
tie faith, in fact none at all, to ex
pect soon to realize combination
of the two, making it possible botl
10 see and hear the persons in whom

such auticipations are not new
The world for some time past ha
been looking for the perfection o
