Europe as he might choose, for six
months. Mr.. Hampton had many let
tiers to people in England, but none
elsewhere, and Colonel Hampton would
be obliged if the marquis would re-
ceive him at his estate of Castelforte
and let him see something of Italy
from that point of vantage. The mar
quis might then, if he thought good, re-
turn to Virginia in the Lovely Lucy,
and either set matters on a firm
enough footing to be left, or else
which the colonel considered the bet
ter plan-stay with them and become
a country gentleman of Virginia. The
colonel had heard that there had been
political trouble in Italy, but hoped
that at this time the country was at
peace and the marquis comfortably es-
tablished In his own castle.
All this the young marquis, an ex-
lie of five years from his native land,
had read at the chateau of Vicques. He
had considered deeply as to what he
might do about Carnifax. his estate in

and out of breath, but not injured; he
looked up and in the dimness saw the
last knot with its bit of wood swing
ing in air twelve feet or so from the
ground.
But he had no time given him to
consider this point, for at that Sec
ond, at the far end of the closed yard
door opened, blaze of light poured
out, and squad of six soldiers stepped
from the castle, torches in the hands
of the foremost. Francois dropped,
crouching into the shadows against
the wall, but his heart grew sick as he
realized the futility of this. The SOL
diers were coming straight toward
him.
With that, a CLEAN on brighter sur
face than the ground met his sight, be-
low the level of the ground. His eyes,
searching the darkness, made out a
great butt of water, sunken by the
castle wall Instantly he slid into it,
up to his neck. 1t was not quite full,
and his head did not show in the
shadows of the inside. The blaze Of
the torches swept close. brighter. as

Gle, and an improvised eye-glass and
pursy short-breathed manner, spoke of
the governor severely, putting at him
between sentences, reproving him,
among other things, for having pris-
oners dine with him.
And the governor roared with de-
light, for this man was his rival and it
uld his soul good to see him made
ridiculous. He rOared, and drank to
the imitation, and the imitation re-
buked his levity throatily, till the gov
ernor roared and drank again and
shouted for more. And Francois, ex-
cited, exhilarated, did more; and still
the governor drank as he acted. And
the vaudeville went on. So that when
the guard came at eleven the count
was lying across the sofa, too tipsy to
get to bed alone, and Francois had to
walt, pretending to be heavy with wine
himself, while the two soldiers put the
governor to bed.
AT last he was taken upstairs be-
tween them, leaning on them Imply;
at last his door changed shut; he lis
tened to the footsteps of the two dying
away down the stone hail. down the
staircase; then swiftly he drew out
the file and the letters from his mat
tress; he hid the papers, wrapped
tight in their oilskin cover, in his coat
lining; he set to work with the file to
finish iron bars already three-quarters
roh \
with fingers that seemed to work as
fast, as intelligently as his brain, he
tore the bedclothes into stout strips
and tied them together with square
knots which would not slip, and tied
knots in the line at intervals of a few
feet which might keep a mans fingers
from slipping. He had to guess how
long the rope must be, but the bed
clothes were all used and the rope was
many yards-it must serve. He put
the file, with two candle ends which
he had saved, in his pocket he made
one end of the strip fast to an I'M
touched iron bar of his window; he
weighted the other end, then he looked
about a moment, half to see if all of
his small resources had been remem-
bered, half in a glance of farewell to
place where he had passed hours
never to be forgotten.
With that he vaulted to the window
ledge and took the first knot in a firm
grip and let himself out into the dark
still night. His feet hung in the air,
his hand slid fast-fast-down that
poor ladder of torn stuff; the die was
cast; he was going to things unknown;
he had taken a desperate chance and
might not go back And he slipped
down. down, from knot to knot. Sud
denly he came to the last knot; he had
fastened bit of wood there so that
be might know when he got to the
end. What was this? 1t certainly was
the last knot; the bit of wood scraped
his hand as he held it; but his feet did
not touch ground.
There he hung, swaying in black
ness. not knowing how far he might
be above the earth, not knowing what
to do. Only a moment, for instantly
he knew that in any case he could not
go back, if he would, up that slight
swinging rope; he must drop what
ever happened. He bent his knees
ready for the fall and let go. With a
shock he landed and rolled, bruised

Alike"
He cried it out loud, reckless, for
getting everything. But she did not
forget. In an instant her hand was on
his mouth, and she was whispering in
terror.
Francois, dear Francois, be careful.
We are not safe yet. We have vii
lage to ride through-see, there is a
house. 1t is almost time for them to
be awake. Ride fast. 1t is two miles
yet"
They were racing again over the
soft ground, the horses unshod feet
making little noise, and Francois
heart was playing mad music. No
need now of cognac. Then they were
galloping down the sand of lonely
beach, and with that there was little
group of people and boat drawn up;
and they had pulled in the horses, and
Francois felt himself lifted off like a
child and lying like a very little,
worn-out child in the generals arms;
and the general was crying, swearing,
hugging him without shame Pietro
was there; Pietro was rubbing the
thin hands in futile useless sort of
way, and holding them by turns to his
face. Alike, her peasant hat off now,
bent over them, lovelier than ever be-
fore, not minding her boys dress, and
smiled at him, wordless. There was
huge man also who took the horses,
and Francois wondered if he had heard
Alright that Alike called him little Bat
tista." Wondering very much at ev-
erything, the voices grew far away
and the faces uncertain, and he de-
cided that it was without doubt a
dream and that Battista would unlock
the door shortly and bring in his break
fast. And with that he knew nothing
more till he awoke in a boat.
And it was with new feeling; with
a desire and hope to live. Pietro sat
watching him and brought him warm
milk and held his head up as he drank
1t, like woman. Then, in quiet, slow
which Francois had by now begun to
wonder over. 1t seemed that just be,
fore little Battista had brought Fran
co.'s letter to Vicques, Pietro had re-
ceived another unexpected letter, from
a Colonel Hampton in Virginia, whose
estate lay next the six thousand acres
of land which the Marquis Zappi had
bought fifteen years before Colonel
Hampton wrote with two requests. The
first was that the Marquis Zappi
should come to Virginia, or send some
one with authority to look after his
property. The land was going to rack
and ruin for want of management
the uncontrolled slaves on the place
were demoralizing to the neighbor-
hood. Colonel Hampton had done
what he could, but he had. not the
power of master, and moreover he
he was busy with his own large estate.
The marquis should come or send a
qualified agent at once
The next object of the letter was to
ask that the marquis should receive
and entertain the nephew of Colonel
Hampton, Mr.. Henry Hampton, who,
sailing on Colonel Hamptons ship, the
Lovely Lucy, would bring this letter
to the marquis. The ship would go
first to England and discharge there
her cargo of tobacco, and after that it
was to be at the service of young Mr..
Hampton, to visit such countries of

Many women are carrying great sim
plicity of line and decoration into the
gowns they wear in their homes.
The one shown is cut in two pieces
and hangs straight Il nm the shoulder.
Most of these hOuss gowns are made
of the Paul Poiret or post impress
sionist fabrics and make up in brill
liant color what they lack in frills
and furbelows.
The garment pictured is of hand
blocked linen in oriental coIors. but il
would be quite as chic in conventional
cretonnes or silks. 1t should be of
somewhat heavy material. however.
