bodies Of men not entirely consistent
with his conclusions; for, as they
drew nearer, both parties slackened
their pace, suspiciously to scrutinize
each other.
Twenty-the number agreed upon!"
muttered the Marquis, and spurring on
fast, led his troops nearer the cross.
Not many PAGES distant the word
was given to halt, and, as they obeyed,
on the other side Of the monument the
strange men likewise drew rein. At
the same moment, there flashed on the
captive's mind a discovery. These
faces, looking so grimly out over the
marshy field at them, were not the
wooden visages of paid soldiers, but Of
men he knew-his men! Across the
space separating the two parties he
could read their quick looks-their
atisfaction-their compIacency! He
watched them with eyes in which
pride and tenderness mingled. And
then, for the first time, did he observe
they had brought some one with them
"a woman, or girl-the Governors
daughter!
The bold black eyes Of the prisoner
regarded her fxedly. What did It
mean? said his keen gaze. Colorless
as marble, my lady held herself very
erect on her horse; then while his
glance yet probed her, the proud face
slowly changed; on the cold cheek
youths bright banner f1ared high. The
young man turned; following the d.
rection Of her gaze, looked at the Mar
quis; my lords features radiated fe-
licitations; his eyes shone with well
come. And a fuller understanding
came over the prisoner; in some mys-
terious manner had the Lady Elise
been made captive, and now had the
nobleman come to escort his betrothed
back to the palace.
Even as the Black Seigneur reached
this conclusion, he became eognizant
his bonds had been Ioosened; the reins
placed in his hands. "You are free"
said voice and mechanically he rode
toward his comrades.
IuuS, near the crumbltng and time
worn cross, was the exchange Of pris-
oners effected; the girl whirled away
by my lord, who seemed fearful Of |
treachery, and the Black Seigneur left
to the greeting Of his men.
Nov, by the tuneful Nine"-the |
poet, Gabriel Gabarie, pushing his bur-
ly form to the front, was the first to |
extend hand-"but, from your looks,
the Governor looks i'll to the welfare
of his lodgers!"
"And had we not captured My lady"
spoke up another, gazing after the
party Of the Marquis, ''he would have
looked yet worse to the welfare Of one
Of them, no Doubt"
Drink this, Seigneur;" cried a
third; you must drink this-a spe-
cial bottle we brought for the occa-
sion!"
Sent by old Pierre when he heard
we were coming for you'll" added the
poet. Your drinking-cup, ladsl I'm
fasten the skin for yourselvesl To
mon capitaine!"-
Once, twice, deeply they drunk
toast and vintage alike to their taste:
then Strengthening, looked at the Black
Seigneur whose eyes yet burned in the
direction my lady had gone. With a
start he seemed to recall himself to

sistency of the tale. with a gesture,
brusk and contemptuous, dismissed
the bearer.
But whatever feeling the lord Of the
Mount might entertain toward his
chief officer, no course at the moment
seemed open save to await the return
Of that person and the Marquis. So,
curbing his impatience as best he
might, his Excellency kept vigil; and
not alone! Tidings of what had hap
pened spread at the top Of the rock;
sifted through closed gates and thick
at the Mount Of the lords and ladies,
companions Of the Governors daugh-
ter for the day, but added to the ques-
tionings of the multitude. All night
life and expectancy reigned; lights
cleaned from high places; responded
in low ones.
'Is it true, my dear, what we hear
about the Lady Elise?" the landlady Of
the inn on the Mount near the strand
called out to a stalwart, dark young
woman, hurrying down the narrow
way shortly after the Paris contingent
had gone up.
'T have heard no more than you
have" came the curt answer Of this
person-none other than Nanette--
who carried a small bundle and
seemed anxious to move on.
"Oh, didn't know but you came
from the palace!" observed the mis-
tress Of the inn, and returned to her
customers, drinking and nodding with
heads close together.
On the morrow, however, all doubts
were removed and speculations put at
rest; for hardly had the sun set its
seal in the sky than from the forests
the appearance Of body Of troops
rewarded the watchers. From hoVel
to hut the word went, and men, wom-
en- and children, unkempt and curious,
ran down to the beach to await the
approach Of the guard. Proudly had
it departed, with waving Of plumes;
slowly it returned, a bedraggled pro,
cession Of staggering horses and
heavy-eyed men. Had it come back q
little earlier the dark might have kept
the truth from the people; now the
pitiless red glare revealed to the full
the plight Of the troopers. 1t told, too,
the disappointment Of Monsieur le
Commandant, who looked neither to
the right nor to the left; and the de,
spair Of my lord, the Marquis, pale
counterfeit of his debonair self.
Her Ladyship! They haven't

followed, like voIleys of muskets; and,
springing to the window, the Black
Seigneur looked toward the Mount;I
from it, flashes Of light cleaned and
glimmered. Then the loud report Of
a cannon reverberated in the distance.

TAFT WOULD DEVELOP
ALASKA RESOURCES
President Urges This For the
Good Of the Pacific
Coast.

To open Alaska and develope it's
resources, is the recommendation of
President Taft in recent message.
This is step the people of the coast
have worked for for years. Oregon
people have not been able to see any
justification for going to middle West
ern coal mines for fuel and hauling
1t by train half way across the coun-
try, when enormous coal mines In
Alaska, easily accessible from tide
water, can be opened and coal brought
by ship-load at a remarkably cheap
rate for use here.
President Taft favors the leasing of
coal and phosphate lands in Alaska as
well as In the United States, so that
these sources of wealth, may contri-
butte their part to theprosperity of the
nation. The president also favors a
commission form of government, at
least half of which should be elective,
for Alaska
In his desire to open Alaska and
develope it, the president goes so far
as to urge government railway from
Seward to the Matunska coal fields
and into the Tanana and Yukon val
leys. That these steps are favored by
the president, only because of their
benefit to the people OF the west, is
his cwn statement. He said:
Il think the United States owes it
to Alaska and to the people who have
gone there, to take an exceptional
step and build a railroad that shall
open the treasures of Alaska to the
Pacific and to the people who live
along that ocean on our Western
Coast"
