A Sound Afar.


About midway in the curve of one Of
the numerous bays, marking the coast
line, and several hours distant from
the Mount. stands a stone cross erect
ed by an English marauder to indicate
the place Of his landing. The symbol
is visible on all sides from afar, for
before it are the sands and the sea,
and behind stretches the land barren
of wood-low, level, covered only with
marsh grass. Toward this monument
of mans conquest-most prominent
object in prospect, dreary and mo-
notonous-rode, late one afternoon. a
band of horsemen. At their head gal
loped my lord, the Marquis; in the
center could be seen a man with
bound arms whose horse was led by
one Of the others. This persona pris-
oner, thin, haggard, yet still muscular
of frame-from time to time gazed
about; look of inquiry or calculation
in the black undaunted eyes.
What prison are you taking me to

held the reins of his horse and why
do you go in this direction? Is 1t you

answer. And as for the people.

pressed a faint understanding A
fresh relay OF men, he concluded; one

to, and then themselves return to the

odd one, and the demeanor of the two

drew nearer, both parties slackened

each other.

muttered the Marquis. and squirting 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
captfve's mind discovery. These
faces, looking SO grimly out over the
marshy field at them, were not the
wooden yisages of paid soldiers. but of
men he knew-his men! Across the
space separating the two parties he
could read their quick looks-their
satisfaction-their complacency! 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 fXed1y. What did 1t
mean? said his keen gaze. ColorIess
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 fiared high. The
young man turned; following the di-
rection of her gaze. looked at the Mar
quis; my lords features radiated fe-
Icitations; his eyes shone with well
come. And a fuller understanding
came over the prisoner; in some mys-
FERROUS 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 cognizant
his bonds had been loosened; the reins
placed in his hands. You are Free
said a voice and mechanically he rode
toward his comrades.
Thus, near the crumbling and time
worn cross, was the exchange of pris-
oners effected; the girl whirled away
by my lord, who seemed fearful of
-reachery, and the Black Seigneur left
