Scarcely had he started to read when
his wife's wandering eye found the

into the kitchen and returned with the

bride. She leaned far out of the case
ment so that she could look better. The
piggy eyes of Red Beard lighted upon
her.
''Ah, there she is :" he grunted.
Princess Peggy. my tenth bride !"
Princess Peggy. the tenth bride of
Red Beard - cried the horsemcn and
the attendants. Instantly the slaves be-
gan to hurry Peggy toward the lawn.
Peggy was shocked at Red Boards
declaration. She had no idea that she
was intended as his bride. The worst
that she had thought of was that she
might be bridesmaid.
But the shock didn't rob her Of her
wits. Instead it sharpcncd them. As
they passed through the hall she saw
a stairway leading into the tower.
Gathering up her wedding fincry SO that
she could run the faster, she sped up
the steps.
The slaves were after her in an in
stant. Up, up. up she fed, but up, up.
up they followed. Peggy hoped that
there might be room at the top, aud
she did not hope in vain. In the
very tip of the tower was a round
chamber guarded by door. Peggy
slammed the door shut and barred it.
For moment she felt safe. Then
the slaves reached the door and bat
tered upon it. The panels were old
and tlimsy. They shook under the
blows. Peggy saw that they could not
protect her long.
Goo, coo, what's the matter?" asked
soft voice. There in the window,
looking at her, were Homer and Car
rier Pigeon.
Red Beard wants to make me his
bride. There is no one to save me.
Go and tell Billy Belgium ~ gaspcd
Peggy, as the door broke open and the
slaves surrounded her.

they went at the speed Of the wind.

nave been hidden under the flooring of
the cellar. With the same idea in his
mind h" examined the flooring of each
room and, finding long fue brush
IN cupboard under the stairs. he
pushed it up the chimney in case arv-
thing had been hidden there.
He discovered nothing, however. ann
all this had taken him so long that he
was getting hungry again. SO he stop-
ped to cook himself some dinner and
cleared up afterward. and then. having
comfortcd himself with a fresh cigar.
he resumed his search upstairs.
In the principal bedroom he found
little of interest. though in small
drawer of the dressing table he came
upon some money. about fifteen pounds,
an additional proof of the extreme haste
with which the place had been abandon
ed. There was also a small. cheap re e
VoIvcr which was unlOaded and out of
order. and good deal of somewhat
expensive looking clothing.
Indeed, so far ;S he could Judge.
everything in the house was of very
good quality, as though there had been
no lack of money on the part of its
fcrmcr occupants. Besides the Meryon.
there were one or two other engravings
in the drawing room that looked good.
And there was an ivory paper knife
mounted in gold, two or three of the
photograph frames were of solid silver,
some of the china looked good, and in
the sideboard there was "cantecn" as
