CHAPTER xxx.
The Marquis Intervenes.

The evening of the same day, his
EXcellency, in the seclusion of a small
private chamber adjoining the sale du
gouvernement, stood looking down at
his desk on which were strewn papers
and messages containing the latest
news from Paris and received at the
I Mount but few hours before. That
the character of this information, po-
litical and social, was little to his lik-
ing, seemed manifest from his man
ner; he stared at the missives resent
fully; then frowned and threw down
the pen he had been using to mark, or
make note Of, their contents.
''Versailles-a mob! Sugar-plums to
placate them! Sugarplums!" he re-
peated; and, impatiently turning away,
walked to the window. There for
some time he stood peering out, when,
the current of his thoughts slowly
changing, he took from his pocket a
watch, and examined the jeweled
face. Time they were back" About
to return to his table and task, loud
KNOCKING arrested the impulse, and

dry tone, didn't he bring it HIMSELF"

"Miscreants!" sharply. What mis-
creants?

overtake those who have carried off

hurrlsdly, in the tone Of one anxious
to be done with his task.

CHAPTER XVIII.


The Hesitation of the Marquis.
The day of my lady's riding party
dawned; in the east a tender fame
burned, and, vanishing, left the
heavens an unbroken blue Shoreward
the mists rolled up, until only in the
neighborhood of the forts did the
white, soft vapor linger. On the Mount
Itself sunshine held sway; it radiated
from the fortitfcations, "cuirass of the
rock" and cleaned on the church,
tiara of its majesty" 1t warmed a
cold palace of marble; looked in at it's
windows. and threw bold shafts to
tighten dark hooks and corners.
But my lady, mistress of the Mount,
seemed not to feel its benefcent
touch; standing in the full glow and
docking from her easement she shiv-
cred a little Already was she
dressed, and her habit of dark green,
hitting close, served to accentuate the
whiteness of her cheek which general
absence Of color, in turn, made the
more manifest certain dark lines be
meath the restless, bright eyes.
Your Ladyship!" After knocking
in vain, Marie had entered the room
and set down the small tray she car
ried. There is something your Lady
ship ought to know!" with an air of
excitement.
The Governors daughter half
turned. What now, Marie?" she said
sharply.
ITS about Nanette!" My lady made
a quick movement of annoyance, i'm
patience. Il did not tell your Lady
ship, but l was averse TO having her
remain here. Your Ladyship does not
understand, Of course, and"
81 do understand" said my lady I'M
expectediy. "And-you need not ex-
plain. overheard you talking with
her that night of the banquet"
"Your Ladyship!" startled.
"And I heard you speak of her IA
ther, Pierre Laroche, friend of the
Black Seigneur."
"And engaged her-after that"
"Why not? 7 could watcI--and l
have! But you were wrong, Marie"
My lady's man n was fevertsh. your
suspicious vel, 'idiculous. There has
been nothing-nothing And day aft
er tomorrow is the wedding celebrR-
ton, and the next day, he, the Black
Seigneur-" She broke off abruptly.
Had Marie been less wrought up,
less ex; rcd less concerned with the
information she had to impart, she
could not have failed to notice the odd
break in her young mistress voice;
something unusual, almost akin to de-
