less, dishonored, and beggar.
After time the marquis grew cool
er, and his brain settled down to
business. By fair means or foul
means, Harry Herne and Lucille
must be separated, and at once.
That Harry Herne would go of his
own accord, as he had said he would,
the marquis who judged other men
by himself, never for moment be
lieved. He must be made to go!
Some plan must be devised to carry
him out Of Darracourt, out of the
county, out of England; if it could be
out OF life as well, so much the bet
ter.
He sat until the shadows grew
thickly among the trees, then got up,
and, smoothing the lines out of his
face, went down the hill toward the
Court. He had an accompIice whose
brain was more acute and subtle
than his own and he must see her at
once!
Chance was evidently on his side
for that day at least, for, as he
walked by a path which led through
the Court grounds to those Of the
Hall, he caught sight of a woman's
| dress through the trees, and saw that
! it was Marie Werner.
He approached her and raised his
hat as if about to pass by, but said,
in an undertone:
If you are alone, join me at the
end Of the path
She inclined her head, and in few
minutes she came up to him where
he sat waiting for her.
TT is fortunate I have met you,
he said quickly. Il have something to
tell you, something of Importance
why do you smile?' he broke off with
a sudden CLEAN of cold displeasure.
Marie looked at him and shrugged
| her shoulders.
No matter; pray go on. What is
this that has happened?"
He scowIed, but he sank down on
the seat beside her and told her as
much as he could bring himself to
tell
He said-the hound!-that he
would go; bu- that was only to lead

New Orleans, Feb. 10.-Although
the time scheduled for the arrival of
President-elect Taft is still many hours

prepared to greet the distinguished,
visitor who is expected to land at 8
O'Clock Thursday afternoon on his re-

storm yesterday afternoon played hav-
oc with m2ny decorations in honor of
the President-elect and caused some
anxiety on the part of those who fear
ed that the storm was also going on
in the gulf The decorations were re-
placed early today and the marines
gave assurances that the North Caro-
lima on which the President-elect is
coming to New Orleans, could not
possibly have made such good time
as to have gotten within the storm
area. Besides civic and military pa
rades, tours to points of historical in
terest and receptions are all to play
prominent parts in the entertainment
during Taft's two days stay in New
Orleans and it is apparent that the

to be the principal feature. The very
finest fish and game which can he
procured within hundred miles of
