The slight form of the Governor
stirred as to the shock Of battery.

hurriedly she went on. He saved me
from the grand tide-for l was on
Saladin's back when he bolted and
ran. l had not dismounted, though
allowed YOU to infer so, and no had
carried me almost 10 the island OF
Casque when we heard and saw the
water coming in. The nearest place
was the island-not the point of the
mainland, as l felt obliged to lead you
to think, and we started for it; We
might have reached the cove, had not
Saladin stumbled and thrown me. The

rushing around, and when | awoke, I
was in watch-tower. with him-the
Black Seigneur!"
The Governor looked at her; did
not speak.
Il at first did not know who he
was-not until this man came-and
the priest! And when he, the Black
he asked me to promise-not for him
self-but because of this mani-to
say nothing of having met him there,
or the othersi And l did promise, and
he sent me back-and that is all"
All" Did the Governor speak the
word? He sat as if he had hardly
comprehended; a deeper flush dyed
her cheek.
"You-can not blame me-after
what he did. He saved me-saved my
life. You are glad of that, mon pere,
are you not? And it must have been
hard doing it, for his clothes We're
torn, and his hands were bleeding-he
can't be all bad, mon pere! He knew
who l was, yet trusted me-trusted!"
The Governor looked at her;
touched a bell; the full-toned note vi
brated far and near.
What are you going to do?" Some
thing in his face held her.
Again the tones startled the still
ness Remember it is I who am re-
sponsible for"
Your Excellency?" Across the
court appeared Beppo, moving quick
Iy toward them. Your Excellency?"
"One moment" The servant stepped
back; the Governor looked first at the
girl; then toward the entrance Of the
cloister
you want me to go?" Her voice
was low strained; in it, too, was a
hard, rebellious accent. But I can't
can't-until-"
"What?"
you promise to set him free! This
man who brought me back! Don't you
see you must, mon pere? Must" she
repeated.
His thin lips drew back disagree
ably; he seemed about to speak; then
reached among the papers and turned
them over absently. Very WE'LL" he
said at length without glancing up.
You promise" her voice expressed
relief and a little surprise, Ito set
him free?"
Have I not said so?" His eyelids
yelled a peculiar look. Yes, he shall
be liberated-very shortly"
Thank you, mon pere." A moment
she bent over him; the proud, sweet
lips brushed his forehead q will go,
then, at once" And she started toward
the door Near the threshold she
paused; looked back to smile CRATE
fully at the Governor, then quickly
went out.

Periodical Drinker.

A doctors patient in Excelsior
Springs the other day was answering
the usual list of queries, prior to eu-
tering upon a course of treatment.
Are you steady or a periodical
drinker?" asked the physician.
Periodical" was the reply.
How long between periods?"
The poor fellow studied a moment,
that he might answer correctly, and
replied:
About twenty minutes. Kansas

Did young Charlie Goldie call on

Yes, he calls almost every night"
That sounds serious. What sort OF

Intelligent! Why, say, he doesn't
know enough to embrace an oppor-
tunity."

Black Seigneur warmly: but the
young man, one of whose arms seemed
bound and useless, cut short his
greeting; tossed bruskly aside his
heavy cloak, and called for a room
where he might sit in private with a
companion. This person the landlord
eyed askance; nevertheless, with
show Of bluff heartiness, he led the
way to a small chamber, somewhat
apart, but overlooking the long low
apartment, the general eating and
drinking place of the establishment,
now filled by the crew and number
of the islanders.
Your capitaine has been hurt?
How" A strapping, handsome girl,
clad in red and of assured mien, pass
ing across the room, paused to adj
dress a man Of prodigiOus girth, who
drank with much gusto from a huge
vessel at his elbow.
Did not your father, Pierre La
roche, tell you?"
He? No; all he thinks of is the
money"
Then must lie capitaine speak for
himself, Mistress Nanette."
You are not very polite. Monsieur
Gabarie," she returned. tossing her
head; but l suppose there is d rea-
son; you have been beaten. In an en-

Did you sink any of them? It would

''In a little clerical argument"
growled the poet
She glanced toward the secluded
apartment; its occupants-the subject
of their conversation, and a priest, a
feeble-looking man of about seventy,
whose delicate, sad face shone white
and out-of-keeping in that adventure
some company. AT any rate, the
Black Seigneur hasn't lost his good
looks"
Take care you don't lose your

And for that reason
"Messieurs!" the landlords voice
broke in upon them; behold" it
seemed to say, as pushing through
the company, he preceded a lanky lad
who bore by their legs many plucked
fowls and birds-woodcock, wild
duck, cliff pigeons-and made his way
10 the great open fireplace at one end
Of the room There, bending over the
glowing embers, the landlord DELHI
erately stirred and spread them; then,
reaching for bar Of steel, he selected
a poulet from the hand Of the lanky
attendant and prepared to adjust it;
but before doing so, prodded it with
his finger, surveyed it critically, and
held it up for admiring attention.
who says old Pierre Laroche
doesn't know how to care for his
friends? What think you of it, my
masters?"

muttered the poet
"Or your King himself" said one Of
the islanders.

and then Wen eat HIM" laughed
the girl, showing her white teeth.
'Thoughtless children" From his
place at the table in the small room
adjoining, the priest, attracted by the
grim merriment Of the islanders,
looked down to regard them; the red
fire; the red gown.
Here, at least, will you find a safe
asylum, Father" said his companion,
the Black Seigneur, in an absent tone;
"a little rough, perhaps, to suit your
calling"

CHAPTER XII.
The Governor Is Surprised.

But the Lady Elise had not gone
Passing from the cloister through the
great arched doorway leading to the
nlgh-roofed refectory, she had stopped
at the sight of a number of people
gathered near the entrance. At first
she had merely glanced at them; then
