SYNOPSIS.


Burton II. Barnes, a wealthy American
touring Corsica, rescues the young Eng
lish lieutenant Edward Gerard Anstruth-
er, and his Corsican bride, Marina,
daughter Of the Paolis. from the MUIR
derous vendetta, understanding that his
reward is to be the hand of the girl he
loves. Enid Anstruther, sister of the Eng
lish lieutenant. The four fly from Ajac-
clio to Marseiles on board the French
steamer Constantine. The vendetta pur-
sues and as the quartet are about to
board the train for London at Marseilles,
Marina is handed a mysterious note
which causes her to collapse and necessi-
tates a postponement Of the journey.
Barnes gets part of the mysterious note
and receives letters which inform him
that he Is marked by the vendetta. He
employs an American detective and plans
to beat the vendetta at their own game.
For the purpose OF securing the safety
OF the women Barnes arranges to have
Lady Chartris lease a secluded villa at
Nice to which the party is to be taken
in yacht. Suspicion is created that
Marina is in league with the Corsicans.
a man, believed to be Corregio Danella,
Is seen passing the house and Marina is
thought to have given him a sign. Ma
rina refuses to explain to Barnes which
fact adds to his latent suspicious. Barnes
plans for the safety Of the party are
learned by the Corsicans. The carriage
carrying their party to the local landing
is followed by two men.

She is about to go despairingly to

to studying the little quarter of a sheet
of letter paper she has drawn from
the bosom of her frock,

She cannot entirely decipher the for.
eign handwriting; indeed, she can
scarcely understand it.
But some passages in it produce
such terrible effect upon the child's
nerves that after she has gone to bed
she tosses about and sleep will not
come to her. Suddenly her very pig
tails seem to stiffen with terror; she
rises half out of bed and mutters to
herself; "Oh, what do they mean by
killing her, II she does; and killing her
husband, If she doesnt?"

WHAT THE TEACHER DID.
Part of Programme Embarrassing to
Bashful Young Man.

Here is a story that is being told on
nice young man who teaches a Sun
day school class in North Baltimore.
1t has been told on other young men
before, and there Is strong probabil.
ity that it never happened at all to this
particular young man, but his friends
have attached the story to him, and,
much to his discontinue, he must bear
it. In the first place, he is very bash
ful, and the request made by the Sun
day school superintendent that he
take class OF young ladies', who had
just lost their previous teacher, was
disturbing enough. The previous teach
er had been a charming woman, and
her loss was due to marriage with
Washington man. The class OF ten
charming young ladies waited while
the young man was being brought
from the other side Of the room, whore
he had been the presiding genius OF
a class of small boys. This is Mr. T.,
ladies'" announced the superintend.
ent, He has consented to become your
teacher, and l am sure he Will find
the position most delightful one"
Surely, surely" gushed Mr.. T. Il
shall be charmed. perfectly charmed"
and then as the superintendent moved
away, leaving him bashful, not TO say
scared, he rushed into his duties at
once-"and now, ladies', If you will
tell me what your former teacher al.
ways did first we will try carrying out
the same program" There was a few
moments silence, then pert.looking
young miss, casting down her glances
most effectively, purred: We'll, II you
really want TO do that way, Miss Grace
always kissed us good morning" This
may or may not be true, but tho
young man declares the people who
are telling II are mean.

why, Marina and Enid say they
are only going out for a drive on the
Prado, and they have both got their

"To keep their jewelry safe from

"Then-youre-you' not going

Barnes goes away with Edwin to take
the ladies down to the open barouche
that is awaiting them. At the hotel
entrance Edwin places both his bride
and his sister in the carriage and seats
himself in front of them, looking as
carefully to the rear as If he expected
a white squall. Barnes springs into
the barouche, whispers some orders to
the driver and they roll away.
Gazing on the carriage as It rolls
away, Maud says contentedly to her
self: "Cracky, l was scared Burton
was going before l told it to him."
then adds contentedly: Gee, I'm as
smart as a diplomatist," as she fishes
fourth piece of paper out of the bosom
of her frock. IF I'd sold all that let
ter to Barnes at the first jump, I'd
have been out of stock in trade" So
Miss Chartris goes up to a bread and

contentedly and munches marrons
glaces surreptitiously over her lessons
for the two succeeding hours. Then
