from the table Roleau guessed what
she had meant by this-a paper trail.
She looked this way and that. but
could see no trace of the stranger
who had thus treacherously intruded
upon their own plans. A strange feel
ing came to her mind that perhaps
she had seen him elsewhere before
now. Where could that have been?
Ransacking her memory she conclud-
ed that he must have been some one
Of the band of banditti who had sur
prised her and her companions in the
desert
Trusting to fortune to bring her
aid. she ran forward in the general
direction which she supposed the man
had taken. She passed from the floor
OF the gallery, which held no trace of
footprints to the softer ground where
she might see the trail. and caught 1t

recalling the stables where some of
Sachios mounts were kept-indeed,
she doubted not that some might be
saddled and waiting in the yard. 1t
was true-an instant later her own
flying hoofbeats pursued those now
lessening in the distance. And as
she fed Kitty left trail.
AS for Roleau. his faithful heart
was wellnigh broken when. having
seen his mistress follow his advice
and make her escape, he found him
self in spite of all unable to join her
in the pursuit of the escaping thief
who had their coin. The grasp of
Sachio upon him did not relax. and
now others REINFORCED their leader.
"Ah, well, messieurs." he said grim

ment."

the latter.
At last, however. there came the

"On guard. gentlemen" exclaimed
Sachio. I'VE do not know who comes

1t was indeed this missing stranger

1t should be understood now that
when Count Frederick had returned
to his own apartments and found his

A New Intruder.


The keen senses of Roleau, schooled
In peril, told him of some hidden dan
ser-the very tenseness of the situa-
tion warning him. Turning, he saw
the upraised weapon, and in a flash
a blow from his own powerful arm
had sent 1t flying through the window.
It fell clinkins on the floor at the feet
of Count Sachio and his friends. Kit

she had not realized. sprang back An
instant later Roleau had grappled
with the intruder.
Hearing the sound of this encoun-

sprang at the intervening door, broke

engaged In an encounter whose cause
they could not guess. but both of
whom undoubtedly were intruders In
this place. and who. therefore. might
be regarded as enemies.

as now he saw also the young girl,
who was endeavoring as best she
might to give assistance to Roleau
in his struggle with the stranger.
Quick, excellency. rum" exclaimed
Roleau
The strange man was not easily
to be disposed of. but gave even the
powerful Roleau all he liked to do to
handle him. Meantime Sachio flung

as much for the stranger.
In the melee. which slipped from

half coin-in his excitement he had
forgotten that he still had 1t in his
hand. The stranger, whose shifty
eyes caught everything. saw the bag
as 1t lay upon the floor
Working gradually towards the
place where the little bag lay, now
underfoot, now scuffed aside by the
struggling men. the stranger managed
to trip and throw that one of Sachio's
friends who pressed him most closely
They fell directly before the packet.
Swiftly, the long hand of the stranger
reached out and caught 1t up.
There remained for him no more
relish for the fight. An instant later,
his assailant. he broke away, flung
through the open window and left the
others to shift as they might.

grasp OF Count Sachio himself, strug-

FAMOUS OLD TROUVILLE

TROUVILLE. France, August 2o.-The
horse show, horse races and other So
ciaI attractions which have brought the
elite of society here at this season
every year are lacking. but the famous
resort is still lively with throng on
the boardwalk that is made up largely
of convalescent soldiers and their
nurses Some of the biggest hotels are
hospitals, some of the elegant villas
also, but there are enough children to
prevent the beach from being sub
merged in gloom.
The sands of Trouville are also the
scene of interesting military operations
All along the beach from Deauville to
Trouville there is an almost uninter-
rupted series of trenches. built by the
contingents of 1880 to 1885, now in their
NTH to tenth year. who are working
under the direction of convalescent SOL
diers. Bathers are obliged to give the
countersign in order to pass, and then
they are distinctly informed il is at

swelled with Importance. Buster Bear
had called him Mr.. Squirrel and had
asked a favor of him. He had asked
him to try to find out if Busy Bee
storehouse was in one of the trees In
the Old Orchard. Chatterer was quite
sure that it wasn't, for he thought he
knew every hollow there. but Buster
Bear was SO sure that it was some
where there that he thought he might
have overlooked it. In fact. Chatterer
Busy Bee and hadn't the remotest idea
where she did live. Buster had told
him that she might have found big
hollow with SO small an opening that
only she and her sisters could com
fortably get through 1t, and that might
be why Chatterer had overlooked it.
So as soon as he got back to the Old
Orchard he scurried from tree to tree.
poking his nose into every hole and
looking for new holes, all the time
hoping that he would find some sign of
Busy Bee and her sisters. 1t was quite
a Job, and by the time he had visited
every tree he was glad to sit down and
rest. His search had been in vain, for
no sign of Busy Bee did he find. There
was one satisfaction. however. and this
was that he had proved that there was
no hidden hollow in the Old Orchard
of which he didn't know. To make
Woodpecker He knew that Drummer
is forever going about tapping the
trees with his stout bill, and that if
there was a hidden hollow he would
know it. He didn't ask Drummer right
out. No, indeed. He and Drummer
were not the best of friends, because
Drummer hadn't forgotten how Chat
terer once stole his eggs.
Il haven't seen Busy Bee lately" re-
marked Chatterer, to nobody in par
ticular, as Drummer happened along.
You would see her if you half used
your eyes, snapped Drummer. II see
her every day
DO you?" exclaimed Chatterer. II

mer. II don't even know where she

Oh exclaimed Chatterer. as If in
great surprise. It thought you knew
every hollow in the trees of the Old
Orchard. and vet ! know that some
people think that Busy Bee has her
storehouse right in one of these trees"
We'll. she DOESN'T snapped Drum
mer. There isn't a tree in the Old Or
chard that ] don't know every branch
of, and if Busy Bee lived here I'd
know it.
Il wonder where she does live" re-
marked Chatterer.
Il don't know. That's her business,
and not mine" snapped Drummer, and

Chatterer chuckled. He had made
sure that Busy Bee was not in any of
the trees in the Old Orchard, and now
he hastened to the Green Forest to tell
Buster Bear.

Alexandria.

! \ hundred years ago British feel
sailed up the Potomac river to the com
| mercial city of Alexandria. Va, jus,
| opposite the Capitol at Washington. Ii
threatened to lombard the town. bu,
| refrained when commercial interests
produced tribute of 100000.
Today Alexandria is town of $1,000
1t has stood still for a century Its
great. roomy yards are occupied by
houses that were built in the days be
fore the war. Huge trees shade its
somnolent streets through which shut
fle old-time southern darkies and
through which drive Virginia gentle
men of the old school. Those fields
around the town that grew such to-
bacco in colonial days as to enrich
many planters have fallen into disuse
as the CRAVING of age has settled over
the town.
Here one may sit of a Sunday morn
ing in high-backed pew at Old Christ
Church where George Washington used
to worship. Here is the old Masonic
lodge at which he officiated as master
and where, in a glass case, may be seen
the chair in which he sat. the apron
and gloves he wore. even the pocket
knife given him by his mother and
which he carried for fifty years.
But the most remarkable and valu- :
able possession of this lodge is a paint
ing Of the real Washington. This paint
ing shows the deep pock marks on
the first Presidents face. the scar
across his cheek. the goiter beneath
his chin. distinguishing features that
the average man does not know he had.
Across the street from the ancient
lodge room is the tavern at which
Braddock stopped in 1855 when he was
making up his Inflated expedition into
the wilderness, and back of it is a
vacant square on which young Wash
ington drilled his colonials for the
same trip.
There stands in a little parkway in
the center of the town statue of a
Confederate soldier looking out to the
south with an expression of INFINITE
sorrow in his attitude. 1t was placed
there at the close of the civil war and
the name of the sculptor is lost. Yet
SO mastery is it that great artists
cross the ocean to see it and pronounce
it one of the best productions in
America.

Busy Bee is always busy. and she is

That is where she differs from a great

Often they are very busy, quite as busy

that it is quite as often about the af-
