The Ruse.

IiiC n0CCs
The day before the escape, as the
Prince, weak and i'll yet, lay in bed,
word was brought that a messenger
of the marquis wished to see the
Queen.
"Let me see him too, my mother"
the silent, grave young man begged.

wish to help"
In a moment Fritz introduced a
slight alert person whose delicate face
was made remarkable by a pair of
eyes large and brilliant and full of
visionary shadows, yet alive with fire.
One saw first those uncommon eyes
and then the man. If they had not
been entirely concerned with his mes
sage they might have remarked that
he trembled as he looked at the
Princes face; that his voice shook as
he answered the Queens question.

esty, to bring you bad news" he said.

gerly at the Prince. "The Marquis
Zappi, my employer, is ILL., He was
taken suddenly last night, and today
is much worse, and there is no chance
that he can travel with your Majesty
tomorrow"
The Queen threw out her hands with
a gesture of hopeiessness. What can
we do?" she exclaimed. Am to plan

But If he were to escape ever, the
chance was increased infinitely by the
going back and forth to the governors
room. A new governor might keep
him shut up absolutely. 1t had been
SO while the count was away; then he
had been i'll, and the lieutenant in
command would not let doctor see
him till he became delirious; that was
the ordinary treatment of prisoners.
Francois, thinking over these things
on a day, fell with a sudden accent
on the steady push of his longing for
freedom, the conviction that he must
get free before the count left, else OPP
portunity and force for the effort
| would both be gone forever. And on
that day Battista brought in his mid
day meal with look and a manner
which Francois remarked.
What is it, Battista?" he asked
softly.
The man answered not a word, but
turned and opened the door rapidly
and looked out. 81 thought had left

Battista-has had letter. The young
master wishes him to come to him in
France, to serve him. He is going in

1t was whispered quickly, and Bat
tista stood erect.
"The signor's food will get cold If
the signor does not eat it," he spoke
gruffiy. "I do not like to carry good
food for prisoners who do not appre-
ciate it. l shall bring less tomorrow"
But Francois, hardly hearing the
surly tones, had his hand on Battista' 8
arm, was whispering back eagerly.
Where does he go, in France?"
ITO Vicques," the low answer came.
Francois sank back, tortured.

must stay here in prison! His soul
was wrung with a sudden wild home
sickness. He wanted to see Alike, to
see. his mother, to BEE the general; to
> see the peaceful little village and the
stream that ran through it, and the
steep-arched bridge, and the poppy
fields, and the corn! The gray castle
with it's red roofs, and the beech wood
and the dim, high-walled library, how
he wanted to see it all! How his heart
ached, madly, fercely! This was the
worst moment of all his captivity. And
with that, Battista was over him, was
. murmuring words again. Something
was slipped under the bedclothes.

But King William threw his

So stoutly we defended.
The horse was the first that

The foot soon followed after,

Then stoutly we the Boyne did

To give the enemy battle.
Our cannon, to our foes great

His men soon followed after,
With blow and shout put our
foes to rout

hill that sloped down into wooded

No slightest motion, no shade o
