The count took one Of the carriage
lamps and started i'm the direction Of
the sound. In the middle of a clearing
he discovered a man writhing in pain,
his legs having been caught in a wolf
trap.
Aided by the coachman, the count
succeeded in opening the cruel jaws
of the steel trap and set the unfortu-
nate man free. His legs were bleed

coachman 10. carry him to the road,

hut, where Lucienne was waiting for
him.
When he arrived the hut was empty.

The man remained silent, occasion

wounded man and worked over him
for nearly an hour while the count
stood by watching every movement
and pleading with the man to speak.
MY dear count" the doctor said
at last, that man Will never speak
again. He wants to say something,
| his eyes tell me that, but he can not.
He is able to hear, see and under
stand, but fear has paralyzed his
tongue"
As the moments passed the wound
ed man grew more and more excited
Ian excitement he could express only

changed continually. but the language
| they spoke nobody understood.
Suddenly he made a supreme effort
/ to break the power that held him par
alyzed. He raised his head, and his
/ lips moved. A few unintelligible
sounds escaped him, and the count
placed his ear close to his lips. His
head fell back, his eyes grew CLASSY
and there was a hoarse rattle in his

Wv was a single man ne was as

No mans inventive genius can keep

With buttons off his own coat, Ly

with the daily task of fastening sew

The situation was satirical. He re-
called as he worked evening after

occasions he had been driven to des-
perate measures to make his wife
realize IL, more than once attracting

He was pOwerless in any rebellion
against the woman whose dress he
