"He did?" Swiftly the girl reached
for her own purse, only to discover
she had forgotten to bring one. But
of course" in a tone of disappoint-
ment at her oversight, "he couldn't
very well forget or desert one who
had so generously befriended him"
There are those now among his
friends he must needs desert" the
crone cackled, Wagging her head.
A shadow crossed the girls brow.
Must needs?" she repeated.
"Aye, forsooth! His comrades-ta-
ken prisoners near the island Of
Casque? His Excellency will hang
them till they're dead-dead, like
some I've seen dangling from the
branches in the wood. He, the Black
Sejgneur, may wish to save them; but
what can he do?"
what, indeed?" The girl regarded
the Mount almost bitterly. "It is i'm
pregnable."
"Way there!" At that moment, a
deep, strong voice from a little group
of people, moving toward them, inter
rupted.

CHAPTER XIV.
The PiIorimaoe,
OoPrRCSr 1903 " nE Dose'-AERsil

From far and near the peasants and
the people of the towns and villages,
Joined in the customary annual de-
scent upon-or ascent to-the Mount.
None was too poor, few too miserable,
to undertake the journey. A pilgrim
age, was the occasion called; but al
though certain religious ceremonies
were duly observed and entered into
by some with fanatical warmth, many
there were, who, obliged to pay tithes,
nourished the onerous recollection Of
the enforced ecclesiastical tenth" to
the exclusion of any great desire to
avail themselves Of the compensating
privilege of beholding and bowling be-
fore the sacred relics. To these recall
citrant spirits, license and a rough
sort Of merrymaking became the or
der of the hour.
} Early in the morning the multitude
began to arrive-in every manner OF
dilapidated vehicle, astride starved
looking donkeys and bony horses, or
on foot. Many who had camped out
the night before, by wayside or In
forest, brought with them certain
scanty provisions and a kitchen pot
in which to boil thin soup, or some
poor makeshift mess; others came
empty-handed, pilgrims" out at the
elbow and shoeless, trusting to fortune
for their sustenance, and looking cap
able even Of having poached in one OF
the wide forests they had traversedI
despite a penalty, severe and dispro'
portionate to the offense, for laying
hand on any lords wild birds or rab-
bits.

bad and Indifferent! Like ants throng'
ing about the hill, they straightway
streamed to the Mount; took posses
sion Of it, or as much as lay open to
them; for around the top, chosen
abode Of the Governor, extended a
wall; grim, dark and ominous; brist'
ling with holes which seemed to look
'blackly down; to watch, to listen and

Standing at the window of her cham'
ber the Lady Elise had passed in
dressing to look out upon the throna
"a thousand dots upon the sand, dark
moving masses in the narrow by.
ways, and motionless ones near the
temporary affairs.

ly. Those who were tried, l mean?"
Nothing Beppo said they are

"Day after tomorrow" The brown
eyes looked hard and bright; the
small white teeth pressed her lip.
"And the man my fa-the Governor
.had-whipped from the Mount-you
have heard nothing more of him
where he has gomez"
"No, my Lady; he seems to have
disappeared completely; fled this coun'

gone before!"
The girl looked up in preoccupied
manner. Poor Marie! Your only sis
ter died there, didn't she?"
Eyes, my Lady; l never saw her
after she left France with her hus-
band and baby girl. He was an un'
patriotic fellow-Pierre Laroche!"
"No doubt" said the Governors g
daughter absently, as the other pre-
pared to leave the room.
Alone, the girl remained for several
moments motionless before the great
Venetian mirror; then mechanically,
hardly looking at the reflection the
glass threw back at her, she finished
her toilet. This task accomplished,
still she stood with brows closely
drawn; afar the flute-like voices Of
the choir-boys arose from different
parts Of the Mount, but she did not
seem to hear them; made sudden
quick gesture and walked toward the
door in the manner of one who has
arrived at some resolution.
Passing down a corridor, she
reached an arched opening whose mas.
sive door swung easily to her touch,
and let herself out by a private way,
which had once been the ancient abb
bot's way, to an isolated corner Of a
small secluded platform. From this
noint a stairway led up to passage
spanning a great gulf. Below and
.oeide where the red-tiled houses clung
70 the steep slope Of the rock, fiut'
tered many flags; yet the girl did not

mo one from the household is al
lowed through without an order!"
''You will, however, let me pass"
Because you have a pretty face?"
The sentinel at the great gate separat-
ing the upper part of the Mount from
the town, answered roughly. mot you,
my girl, or"
But she who importuned raised the
sides of the ample linen head-dress
and revealed fully her countenance.
"My Lady," Half convinced, half
incredulous, the soldier looked;
stared; at features, familiar, yet SEEM
ing different, with the rebellious gold
en- hair smoothed down severely
above; the figure garbed in Norman
peasant dress, made for costume
dance when the mobiles and court Ia
dies had visited the Mount.
"You do not doubt who l ann" I'm
periously regarding him.
mo, my Lady; only"
''Then open the gate!" she COM
manded.
The man pushed back the ponder
GUS bolts; pressed outward the mass
Of oak and iron, and, puzzled, sur
prised, watched the girl slip through.
OF course it was none of his affair,
my lady's caprice, and if she chose to
go masquerading among the people on
such a day, when all the idle vaga-
bonds made pretext to visit the Mount,
her right to do so remained unques-
toned; but, as he closed the heavy
door. he shook his head. Think Of the
risk! Who knew what might happen
in the event of her identity being re-
vealed to certain Of those in that
heterogeneous concourse without?
Even at the moment through an aper-
ture for observation in the framework
to which he repaired upon adjusting
the fastenings, he could see approach
ing a procession of noisy fanatics.
The apprehension Of the soldier
was, however, not shared by the girl,
who, glad she had found a means to
get away from the chilling atmosphere
of her own world, experienced now
only a sense of freedom and relief. In
her tense mood, the din-the shouting
and unwonted sounds-were not cal
culated to alarm; on the contrary,
after the oppressive stiffness in the
great halls and chambers Of the sum-
NIT, they seemed welcome. Her pulses
throbbed and her face still burned
with the remembrance Of the inter

that happens occasionally in oil fields
and will be a great disappointment,
not only to the owners of the well, but
TO the many friends of the Cleveland

bridged, which leads to the supposi-
ton that crevice was opened up. How

A visit TO Pawhuska at this time Is
decidedly interesting because of the
many divergent Views one hears ex'
pressed in regard to the leating of the
Unbiased part of the Usage. The Os-
age lndiaE council are holding a ses
sion and are supposed to be able to
report the result OF a vote taken by
members of the tribe or the PROPOSE
ton Of acceding to the suggestion of
the assistant secretary Mr.. Adams, to-
wit that the land be leased for one
sixth royalty with no remuneration
for written consent to drill; or to stand
pat on the original proposition as
formulated by the Usage council, to
wit that the land be leased at one
eighth royalty and the written consent
to be obtained on all lands before op
erations begin. 1t is reported that the
Osages took but little interest In the
matter, and that there is a disposition
to allow the matter to rest until afte"
the election Of a new council, which
axes place in June.
