 You, my Lady! Here?" he stam- mered.
 But she only made a wild move ment; again grasped. drew him for ward.
 Quick, or" And suddenly was he brought to a realization of what she wished him to see; a figure drawing itself along, slowly. painfully, toward the verge
 Don't you see? Rather than be taken, he's going to throw himself cver!"
 The excited, admonishing sound of her voice aroused the commandant. He gave a sharp order and the soldiers sprang forward; laid roughly hold of the prostrate form; drew 1t back. The Black Seigneur yet struggled, but not for long! A moment. and his eyes turned to the Governors daughter.
 Ma foi! l must needs yield-tc your Ladyship! Yet. what matter since have done what I came to dol
 His gaze darkly glowing seemed to envelope the shrinking figure who's, cloak only partly concealed the gay rich gown beneath; lifted to the bril- liant afrighted brown eyes You Ladyship has bright eyes. forsooth!

But to these advances, the townspeople re sponded i'll, and the young nobla's brow went delicately up, as if little amused! Mon dieu' did not Enfriend- ly eyes peer from every lurking place around the royal palaces and pleasure grounds near Paris and had they not encountered them all the way to thC sea? People were the same every where; must be treated like bad chil- dren, and, with relays of troops from the capital to the & a. from he strand to the Mounts high top. one could afford to smile al their petty humors. Above all, when one had more mo- mCntOus matter for consideration. And my lord lifted his head higher. toward rampant, where some one had once bid him au revoir, and where he might yet in fancy see a fiuttering ribbon wave q bright adieu,
 But today my lady. the Princess of the Rock, was not there; waited above, with her father, 10 receive him-then-in the great Hall of the CheValiers. Until that morning she had not known of the coming of the Marquis, an impatient suiter, follow ing the courier and the perfumcd mis- siye acQuainting her with the nohie S near approach. Certainly had she shown surprise; but whether she was pleased or not his EXeellency could not tell
