WOMAN

BY MRS. M. CHAPTER XIV. ConttnneA The old woman's face darkened. She (hoped the victim was in some way guaea, ana that she might have reaped a small harvest on her own account. "That will do," she answered: "I will help you. Listen. It Is growing ausK, m another ttour it will be dark. You are now in the Abbey ruins. I will return to you by that time. In the meantime plait un your hair, take off tnat wmte robe, put on tins dross it belongs to my da-ighter; your own cloak will do. You will find water in that ewer. Be y quiet In your movements, i win give out tnat you are asleep you understand? Then wo will creep out together to the back of tne rums, and you must want alono to either Nestloy or the town on the other side of Moreton. Alice seized the old woman's hand and pressed her lips to it. "God bless you!" she said brokenly: "I can never thank you enough. Only let me get away irom this norrioie place and I shall brra' h once more." Tho old woman drow awav her hand.

and slouched away chuckling. Alice, left alone, foil on her knoes and uttered a brief prayer of thankfulness. As yetshe scarcely realized the full meaning of her position, but the glimpse of Count Jura's face had filled her mind with horror and dread that grew and grew until it became almost a mania. Her brain was clearing now. She recalled the night before the dinner, Boy's admiration and words, her success, the Count's villany, and then Valerie's visit to her room. After that, try as she would, she could not recollect what had happened. "I must have been carried away in my sleep, and yet I should have awakened during the journey. This is in the Abbey ruins; it is a long distance. Ah, I remember her handkerchief the strange overpowering smell. They drugged me!" She cowered down in horror and shivered. Then she thought of Damo Burden, and her coming deliverance roused her. She hastily set about her preparations with beating heart. She coiled up her mass of golden hair, plunged her face into the refreshing cold water, and cast off her wrapper of white silk for the dingy brown gown. As she did this she suddenly remembered Frank Meredith and the two cards he had given her. She searched her pockets, and her heart fell-they were not there. Who had taken them? What was she to do once she was free? To whom could she go? To return to the Catle was impossible, for she felt with agony that disgrace must have touched her name. She drew her cloak on, and pulled the hood over her head, then sat down to think till the old woman came back. As the moments drew nearer to the hour of her escape, her excitement and agony of fear banished all other feelings. What did it matter once she was free of these horrible vaults? Would the woman keep her promise? She grew pale with dread. If not, she would try to creep out alone, or else she would dlo of fright. But even as she was thinking this, Dame Burden came back. She was covered with a cloak, too, and held out her hand. 'Now dearie," she said in a hoarse whisper, "I'mreadytthecoastisclear." "Oh, thank you thank you. Why are you so gooa to me?" Alice murmured faintly. "Because I've got a daughter myself?" the old woman replied hypocritically. "Now, coma on. Stay, here's a soverlgn, you have no money with you, I know; hold it tight. There, you needn't thank me; I ain't done nothing to shout out about." "Nothing!" whispered the girl, you are saving me from worse than death:" She slipped a thin white hand into the old woman's one, and glancing fearfully around, was led out of the vault into the outer one. All was still as death: to Alice the whole place was terrible. She could hear the beating of her own heart; it sounded strangely in her ears. Dame Burden lifted her hand to pull aside the curtains, and Alice saw tor the first time the glittering ring on her thick brown finger: a feeling that she recognized it came over her, even in her fear, but she could not remember rightly. They passed through the curtains into the stone passage; the dim light vanished, they were in utter darkness; save for the touch of the old woman's hand, the sound of her heavy breathing, Alice could have imagined it was some hideous dream. At last they stopped, a guest of fresh air greeted them from round a corner, and as Dame Burden moved on again, Alice saw, to her intense joy, the branches of trees waving to and fro in the night-wind. In another moment they had mounted the steps, and Alice was free. She spread out her arms as if to embrace the sweet air of Heaven, and heaved a great sigh of gladness. "Now wait juat one instant, whilo 1 see if the coast is clear. Come, sit in this corner." Alice followed obediently. "I pray yon may not suffer for my sake," she whispered earnostly. "la Count will that man be angry with you?"' Dame Burden chuckled. "I ain't afeard," she answered. "Now just creep into this shadow, and don't move until I come to you." Alice nodded; she moved softly behind the niece .of ruin indicated, and stood quiet, as the old woman stole back. She was not afraid, out in the sweet fresh night air, her senses revived, her courage returned, she was another being. She longed to be oat on the deserted country road, flying away from the den which had just imprisoned her; and vet, would she not be flying from all she loved? Her thoughts went back again to Boy; the memory of !ais fair handsome face, the glance of his eye, shot through her mind like a pang of agony; the die was cast, the life of crllded loneliness in which she had so often pined, and from which she had so longed to escape, was ended; she was free. Roy, Earl of Darrei , was free, and yet, for one touch of his hand, one glimpse of his face, one single gleam of hope that he believed in her, she would have gladly sunk down and died. But this would never be now; some terrible strange dream had separated her from the Castle; she felt that sue could never return; a ad Valerie cruel, gorgeous, handsomo Valerie would Be his wife. Her nead sank till it touched her hands; tears were burning in her eyes, but she forced them back, and then the sound of some one caused her to turn. The tread was heavier than the old woman's. A vague presentiment of sominsr evil fell on her; she clasped her hands, and in another second stood face to face with Count Jura. The scream died on her lips, her heart was suddenly frozen with fear and hatred of this man. "Do not shrink from me fair Countess," said Jura breaking the silence. "I will do you no harm." "What does it mean?" breathed rather than spoke Alice, drawing back with repulsion. "What do you want with me?" "Nothing disagreeable, I hope. I srjab to help you." "To help mo now? Was It not (bMugh you I cms here? Help me!

MIN8Y WOMAJi.

E. HOLMES. Jut? What i have 1 dono that you should have treated mo so shamefully?" "You uso hard words, my Lady Alice " laughed Count Jura, quiotly, 'but they caunot harm me, Used you shamefully? Why, you insult our home and all its luxuries. Como, be friends." "Do not dare approach mo!" gasped Alice, shrinking from his outstretched hand. "I loath, I detest you! You are a coward to treat a woman as you are treating mo! Let me go tho very sight of you Is torturo!" "Go? Whore to? Back to the castle oh?" Count Jura oponod a little box, took out a match, and leisurely lit a cigar. "That would be foolish, ma belle; jou would only exchange very comfortable quarters for an Iron cage. in other words, yon would bo imprisoned immediately for robbery." "Robbery!" repeated the girl, blankly at first, then the truth dawned Oh hor. "Ah, I see I understand! I know all. That ring spoko plainly." What ring?" demanded Count Jura roughly. "Sho wore on her finger. I knew it well, yet my memory would not help me. But now, now I see all with hideous clearness. You you are a thief, a " "Hush!" The Count's hand closed over her lips. "Another word," he whispered savagely, "and you will repent this! Yos, the Castle has boon robbed robbed of plate, of diamonds, of its Countess. Boy.Darrell will see none of his treasures back again. It is beBt you should know how we stand. I have taken you; to my hand you are tied; heneelorth you are my slave, to do aa I will. No words, no screams, no weakners. Listen. I am flying from here this night, leaving the whole gang and what for? For love love of you. We shall start at once for that golden land I sketched for you last night! once there, all will be well. Give me your hand. Be silent I say; my mind is made up. I love you; I will not renounce you. Leave your pleadings to another time; they will not avail. Confound it, do not kneel to mo! Wo are delaying, and dolaylng is dangerous; it means " "Many awkward things," hissed a low, clear voice from the darkness. A form stood behind tne Count. He loosened his hold on Alice, who staggered to her feet distraught with fear. "Myra!"muctered the Count. "What brings you hero?" "The fiend.perhaps,"answered Myra defiantly. "Ah. you thought to play a trick on me. Master George; but you should have known me better. Cowaid! You thought to put me into Moses' keeping, while you broke your word with me and carried hor off. Give me your hand," shoadded abruptly to Alice. "You have failed, George; the game is mine. I have but to whistlo, and In an Instant Sam and Faul will be on you and find out your treachery. Stand aside, man! You will find me difficult to tackle tonight." The Count took no notice of her threat, but seized Alleo in his arms tried to force Myra aside. With lightning deftness she kept her right hand free, searched in her bosom for a scarf, which she had saturated with a drug, and while he twisted her left wrist, causing her acute aeony, she pressed the scarf to his face. There was a suffocating cry a sort of sob. Alice felt his arms losen and the next instant the man fell heavily to therground at their feet. Alice staggered back, as Count Jura fell at her feet. "Have you killed him?" she said, in a whisper of dread. "Killed him!" repeated Myra, gazing at the fallen man bitterly. "No; only drugged him. See," she held Out the scarf. "Wo are never without chloroform; it Is our own best weapon." Alice recognized the faint odor. "Ah, I see now," sho murmured. "She drugged mo with that." "Kill him!" said Myra moodily; "why do I not strike him dead? He has killed me. Coward traitor liar! But come, we must go. You can trust me," she added abruptly. For answer Alice carriod her hand to her lips. "Have you not saved me?" she murmured. "We must be as swift as the wind," continued Myra, drawing her cloak close around her. "What is this?" She stopped. "The diamonds. Good; we will take them with us." "But," said Alice, shrinking back with repugnance, "you would not take them, they are not ours; it would be stealing. No, no; I cannot be a thief." Myra rose abruptly from hor knees. "Wo need money," she said quickly, "and must take them." "Then I will not go." The two girls gazed at one another in silence. Something in the pure fair truthfulness of Alice's eyes struck the other to the heart. "Como, then," she said almost harshly; "we will leave the:n. Tread softly. We shall find tho cart waiting round this corner. He had laid his plans well. Alice shuddered. "You have saved me," she cried softly. "I can neverthank you enough." "Wait till wo are out of danger. We have heaps of difficulties to face you know nothing or." "I will pray for help," Alice murmured. Myra made no answer. Silently, with bated breath, tho two girls crept through the long grass. They found the cart, as Myra had predicted. With great dexterity she hoisted Alice in, mounted the scat, and the next minute they were flying swiftly along the deserted lane to Moreton, the opposite direction to Nestley, leaving Count Jura stretched still senseless on the ground, with the Darrell Jewels beside him. CHAPTER XV. Valerie Ross gazed with moody brow after the retreating horsemen. She nad played a dangerous game, and was not vol out of tho maze. What if Roy should meet Count Jura? Or if Alice should see Roy and scream? She grew pale and then laughed. It was absurd; she was growing a coward. Had not Jura sworn he would start at once for Italy? And was she not frne forever of a sight of the beautiful girlish face of her rival and the dark sinister one of her brother? She mounted the staircase and made her way to Lady Darrell's room. Here, she felt, she had one secure friend and ally. Pride would trample all other feelings under foot. Lady Darroll received her quiotly, yet affectionately. She was prostrated by the blew that had fallen on Darrell Castle, though she made no sign to Valerie, by the knowledge of the grief her son was suffering. Unlike Valerie had anticipated, she did not judge Alice harshly, but even thought of her kindly, and could not dispel a vague feeling that the poor young wife was in danger somewhere. Meanwhile, Roy and Frank Meredith rode on quickly; both wore silent. Hope was glowing in Roy's breast; the news that Alice had evidently carried away the cards with Frank's address on them was a ray of light in tho grim darkness. They seemed to reach the ruins on wings, so swiftly did they ride. "You know the place well," Roy remarked with half u smile, as Fraijk eagerly pushed his horse on in the nearost path; ' tbo -ch I have lived at the Castle all ray iifo, I nevar visited the ruini till the other duv "

me," Frank answered with a laugh. "Does no one ever come hero?" Roy shook his head. "No; the villagers shun the Abbey, they say it is hauntod. Even the owner nov'er comes, but I fancy it is not fear of ghosts, but specters of sorrow that keeps him away." "W6J1, it is gloomy enough for anything, "Frank exclaimed as they reined in their horses, and gazo:l at the wreck Of what had oiloo benn a noble pile of masonry. "I must ebrifess I think Geoffrey has fallen oh the wrong track this time, fo.- even burglars would shun it; and supposing thoy did think of it as a hiding-p!aw. what part could they choose? it is all f-o exposed." Roy gazed round with a strange thrill nt his heart: the vision of Alice's sweet, lair face, with the wondrous eyos and tromb'ing lips, rose before him, nnd seemed to p'ead for help. Frank Meredith must be right: sho had not wronged him, her husband. Sho was wronged hersolf, perhaps in danger. He turned hurriedly to Frank, with his faco white to the lips. "Something tells me here," he said n a low voieo, "that yon are in tho right. I have a vague presentment that she is in danger. What shall we do? It is terrible to think of." "Lot us ride around to the other side,'- Frank said, soothingly. They moved on over the thick grass and weeds, and planccd from side to side, but nothing met their ga?o save desolation and decay. Suddenly, with an exclamation, Frank slipped from his horse, and picked up something that lay on tho grass. "What is it?" exclaimed Roy, alert at once. "A sovereign!" Frank held it up. "That proves conclusively that somoono has boon hero. Of course it may be a ftray visitor, and not tho men wo chased; yet you say no per.-on ever comes hero?" 'So the tradition runs," answered Roy, taking the gold coin, a llt:sh mounting to his cheek. "This looks like a clue, Mr. Meredith." TO BE CONTINUED,

Game Worth Hunting. When a bull moose lies' dead in tho forest, he looks like sonic strange antediluvian animal, with his square prehensile mu l e a d horns spreading laterally a peculiarity which he shares with the prehistoric Irish elk and the nearly extinct European elk of later time;. The huge form tells Of strength and swiftness, and, withal, the still dangerous gleam of the eye, glazed in its last stare, bids the hunter pause nnd feel almost guilty of a crime in the destruction of so much that Is grand and weird, a feeling very different from the sentiment supposed to attend the slaughter of a deer. But the triumph of mastering the wariest and bravest animal in the woods by fair stillhunting, and by grimly sticking to the track Tor many a weary mile, amply atones for any regrets. One can form only a very erroneous idea of the true appearance of a moose from the stuffed heads usually seen. Few, if any, taxidermists have ever seen a live moose, and with only the loose hide to work on, they make a monstrosity of it, giving lilm a decided misshapen nose, and tilling out to the utmost the immense nostrils, which in repose are in a collapsed state. The ears come above the horns, not behind them, as is usually the case in mounted specimens. In the living animal the nose is a marvel of ugliness, and the surface covered by the olfactory nerves so great that it is doubtful whether there is any other animal whose sense of smell is so highly developed. Like most other denizens of the forest, it relies far more on its scent than on its sight. The eyes are small and wicked, snapping and gleaming on the slightest provocation, an'l betray at once the ugly character of their owner. Century. The Iiady Was Not His Wife. The man got into a street car comfortably tilled and crowded into a seat next to a sharp-laced woman in the corner. He squeezed her up against the end of the car, took out a newspaper and shoving it half across ber face began to read. She stood it for about five minutes. "Excuse me," she said then, ' are you a married man?" He dropped his paper and looked at her. "Yes," he replied curtly. "I thought so," she wenton; "ain't your wife a little woman that won't say her soul's her own and lets you Impose on ber all ou want to?" "I don't impose on her, madam," he said stitllv. "You don't let her impose on you much, I guess." The man tried to read his pap;r agaia "1 suppose she carries in the coal, bu'lds the fires, gets your slippers, does the marketing, mends your clothes, tends to the children, submits like a lamb when you II nd fault and is generally an excellent wife, ain't she'. " "Madam" he began. "Don't say a word,- she interrupted: "I'm not your wife, am 1;" "Xo, and I'm" "That's all right And as I'm not, 1 don't propose to have you sitting down on me and crowding mo up In this corner till I can't breathe without wheezing like u eam engine. Why don't you get out and walk?" and the passengers snickered so that he did. Detroit Free Vress. A South American Hoy's Dog. In South America a boy who wants to own a pet animal get a monkey Instead of a dog. Sometimes he can buy a monkey already trained, and if he can do so he is a very happy boy, because wild monkevsare ugly little fellows, and it takes a long time to teach them how to lire with civilized people. A South American boy has to pet a monkey because there are not enough dogs in South America, The dogs that are found there arc used more as beasts of burden, like Arctic dogs, for useful purposes, such as drawing wagons of llgs to market or boxes of cocoanuts. Nor are they affectionate animals like our dogs. But with the South Americau boy a nice tame monkey with soft fur hair and snapping black eyes is very highly prized, and he becomes attached to It, just as an American boy becomes attached to his collie or bis Newfoundland; so he does not I eel th; need of a good dog.
