CHAPTER XII Dra<*e was far too disturbed in tnlnd to sleep, and before the sun was high be walked out alone in the garden, to ffiuse upon his situation. Slowly be paced his way along the path. Someone spoke, and he turned to face the man Batoche. “Monsieur, a note.” pence took the paper and hastened into the summer house. The note was brief, but full in tho expression of what had befallen Nn- ; dine, something to throb with the tell- ; Ing of It: “As soon as you can. my 1 love* one. you must come to me to take me from the man I thought my father. but who Is the awful brute. Yes- I terday he called me a she-wolf and ; told me I am not his daughter; and when !.<• told ‘me. my heart was light, for then I have not within me the murderer's blood. Come not alone. Virgil, for Tony will be here, and both of rh. tn watch. I am locked a prisoner In I my room, and tomorrow they take me to Memphis to make me marry Monsieur Boyce. But I fear not so long as I know you come." Quickly Drace slipped up to his room, buckled on his pistol, found a rope, looped it with a hangman’s noose and tucked It beneath his coat. Nadine was not Stepho’s daughter; now he was ftw to act! Swift waa he to answer the appeal, but he was Set j against her caution, the advice to bring someone with Idin. It was his fight alone, the execution of his oath, which wns not dead like the autumn leaf, but fresh like the new leaf in the spring. He would shoot Tony, the dog, and then String up bls master. No one saw him. not even tho watchI ful Tycie. and he hastened toward Willow Heed, not having found a boat at the landing. Never had the river soetned so broad, the current so swift. At last his canoe touched In among the cane roots at the Island’s edge. He leajM-d ashore, but was cautious In the cane, nn Indian in stealth as he approached the house. He heard not a sound, saw no smoke Issue from the chimney. Perhaps the wolves were in wait for him. to snap him. but he was now in full view, and be ran at the top of his speed. But near the house he halted, peering about, looked in at the ; door of the main room, found It desertI ed. then walked softly around to the Varrod window. Nadine spoke before he recognised her, standing in the twilight of her prison. My heart was loud to tell me you would come. Virgil. And you brought no one with you. But of that there was no ms'd now." He stood In silence looking at her, his strength exerted against a bar at the window, to tear It loose, but the

wrought-iron nails were too long, nnd he could iiot budge them. “The ux, Virgil! Is it lying there?” Acting upon her suggestion, nnd with no caution now against making a noise, he cut the bars away and helped her through the window. ••Nadine, he said, “my oath must now be kept.” His arms about her, he stood pressing her close, and never had he felt so strong, and surely never so deter-1 mined. Her eyes half closed, her head j on his arm, she did not speak. She j looked as If she were at rest, and dreaming. He kissed her, and her eyes flashed wide. "I have come to hang the monster that called you a she-wolf.” “When I have told you. yea. And noo you will listen. Early I thought 1 heard Tony and my—l mean Stepho la Vitte, go out. But Stepho was not walking with Tony, the strong man. but was dragged out In the rockingchair; for some time In the night come the strange stroke, and Stepho was ' paralyzed.” *' “Nadine 1 What are yon saying?" “I am saying that you must listen. Tony came to the window and told me what wits happen*. I ask him to let me out, but he would not. for he wants to pleas*? Stepho till tlx- last, on account of the n>->ney that may be somewhere hid. He went for the doctor, and he came but has gone away again. , for I hear him say he can do no good. 1 The old man was out In his chair l when' he so often sit; and we will go see him. for It will not be for long. Let us forget all and be kind when death wax come. Virgil,” “Yes, but where is Tony now?" "I think he is looking for the money. Let us go now to the poor old man.” "You forgive easily, Nadine.” She looked at him In wonderment.

"How can we not forgive when the ; heart say we must, Virgil? He use me for the trap, which I will explain all to j you. but he give me the chance to be i with you, and for that I thank him— I and for not being my sure-enovgh ( father. . . . Come with me." Old Stepho sat in his chair asleep. I bnt as they approached him. he! opened his eyes, looked at Nadine, then at Drace. “Monsieur was ver’ strong. An’ I kill you If I be not struck down like the beef. An’ Tony kill you If he here, but I send him off for something. ' Ah the lectio gel, she hate me now?" “Monsieur," she said, “I cannot find !it In my heart to hate. It Is the polI gon. Many times you were kind, and j I remember them." He t owed bls head, and through his tangled lashes looked up at Drace, fire gleaming through brushwood. But he spoke to Nadine, turning upon her a fees malignant glance. "The paralyse. It begin down here an' creep up. When It touch the heart, I was go. I say Just now that Tony, he w ould kill the strong monsieur. He would not He be scared when I was

“Your name, leetle gel,” pursued Stepho, “was Walton —the daughter of a northern man who live in the same town with Mr. Drace's father near Cincinnati. You an’ your mother were carried off by my men; but your mother, she fall from the horse just as we come to our camp and she die. About her neck was a purse with money and papers—one that tell where more money is buried. After the war I go back and dig up this money, but I keep it for you. Tor your dowry. It is here —burled under the hearthstone. . . . Now—now I beg you to go for Father Tahan. You know where he live. Quick, for It creep up." , “Yes, I will go. Virgil will stay to keep you company." “Let me go with you," Drace pleaded. fearful that some harm might befall her. “No, my love’ one." she gently opposed him. “You must stay here for no harm can come to me now. Stay here and be kind to him, for kindness Is the will of the One above. You will, yes?" She kissed him fondly, and the old wolf-t»yes closed, that they might not see. Now she was ready to go. Virgil steadied the canoe for her and gently shoved it oIT. She threw him a kiss, and rounding a green cape, raised her paddle into the sunlight and flashed him adieu. Drace returned to Stepho’s chair, the old man shagging his brows at him. Then thinking of the rope still buttoned tightly beneath his coat, he tore

A slight nMse behind him; he J looked quickly about, and there a few | feet behind him at the edge of the t cane stood Tony. Upon him the vision ' of Drace's countenance came, It | seemed, with a startling' flash. Instantly he fell back, through the cane fringe. Into the bayou. Loudly he cried for help. "Oh. monsieur." Implored the old 1 man, “please be’p boeni queek. He can no swim. An’ he die befo' bees sins they was forgive. He’p the po’ wretch, monsieur. Queek, monsieur.” Virgil threw off his coat and his pis-tol-belt, and leaped into the water. A moment before, he would have shot ! the beast; now he would save him. I Tony Was not In sight. But soon hq J arose, swluftulng. and Drace saw a knife in his hand. In the water Tony was as much at home as a beaver! He dived, and Virgil knew now that it was his alm to dart beneath him and with the knife to rip him as a skillful I swimmer rips a crocodile. But In the water the strong man, young Drace. • was at home, too, and turning about , j with a quick swirl, he waited. Tony I came up; and now they came tbward each other, like rival otters —grappled ’ and struggled, treading water, shoulders up. Virgil caught Tony's left wrist, wrenched his arm limp and helpless, seized him by the throat, his left hand steel-gripped about the murderous right wrist, the knife hand. No mercy now! Fire and water, their game! Down, gasping, down! The head beneath the surface, the hand still out. striving to stab. Slowly the hand opened; the knife dropped; the hand closed —half opened, was

IS STILL A MYSTERY TO CHEMISTS

Men of Science Have Not Yet Olecovered the Real Nature of the X-Ray. It was in 1895 that Prof. Conrad Roentgen, the famous German physicist, announced the discovery of the fact that if a current of electricity be passed through a certain kind of glass bulb, from .which the air had been exhausted, the resultant “light" (so called in spite of the fact that it Is not apparent to the eye), would penetrate the flesh and other semisolid substances and reveal objects on the other side. For want of a better name to give to this disturbance of the ether, Professor Roentgen called it the X-ray, “x” being the accepted symbol for an unknown quantity. " The real nature of the X-ray U

Wbar he?” “I have drowned him." “Monsieur was ver’ strong!" “If I had brought him to the shore, he would have sneaked a chance to ; murder me." „ ! "He was the bad man, yes. He | ought be dead, yes.

Then there be no blood to tell the tale. Now I am so sor’. Will monsieur pull me into the house?” “No. You would reach for a pistO' to shoot me. Stay Where you are. "Monsieur have still suspicion. We wait." Virgil put on his coat, bis belt, and sat down on the grass. The old man was silent, his eyes closed. He might be dead, but no matter. More than an j hour dragged by, the breeze moaning In the cane. Virgil arose and stood near the chair. Stepho opened his eyes, but was silent. Virgil sat down again and waited, the wind tangling the tops of the cane. He heard the canoe coming. Father Tahnn was kindly and soft of voice. For many a despairing , wretch he had held the Cross. At sight of him old Stepho’s eyes were still hard. Time wears granite away, . but does not mellow it. Not yet had he granted mercy, and for no pity could he hope. “Father, this is the man I would keel. I hate heem. the carpetbag- j alre." ‘lt is not true." said Virgil, standing near. “I fought against the carpetbaggers In June, in New Orleans, when they were hanging a man. I cut him down." . . j How great can be an Instant change! The old wolf-eyes dewed soft “Oh, monsieur, I was that man? , They hang me. I hear of the brave man. but I not know it was you.

Listen to the one who has come with a message of peace and forgiveness.”

THE SURPRISED TWIGS "It is a curious thing," said the little weed in the flowerpot, “but my

family are not usually so popular, and yet I was welcomed so delightedly." "I will explain.” said the hyacinth which was in the flowerpot and which was very handsome and fragrant. It was decorating the center of the table, and everyone hoped it would last a long time. "Do explain.” said the little weed.

Now the weed was in the same flowerpot with the hyacinth. It was very small and very delicate in appearance, and it could really only be noticed when one looked carefully at what was growing in the flowerpot. “It is true.” the hyacinth continued, “that weeds in gardens are not very popular. But in gardens they are strong and they are stubborn. "Oh, yes, they go about where they are not wanted and they don’t care in the least. They are dug up and thrown out of the way and they crowd about again. “Oh, I beg your pardon, weed.” said the hyacinth suddenly. “I forgot that it was about your family I Was speaking.” “Never mind." said the weed. "1 now that what you have said is true, and we aren’t sensitive. “But what surprised me was that I was welcomed so gladly and so delightedly in this flowerpot." “Ah, yes,” said the hyacinth, “and I am going on to explain about that. It takes me a long time to finish all I mean to say." “Take your time, take your time,” said the weed, “for I am in no hurry. I don’t mind if you take all the time you want.” “Well,” said the hyacinth, "it seems so like a garden—so like out-of-doors, so like really growing things to see a little weed in a flowerpot indoors. “It is true that out-of-doors you are not so popular. But indoors you remind them —not of the trouble your family makes out-of-doors —but of the out-of-doors without the trouble. ■ "And so you were welcomed. But I notice that those twigs on the sideboard have something to say.” “Yes." agreed the twigs, "we have.

Ship Canal Across Scotland. The project for lie construction of i ship canal across Scotland, between the Clyde and Firth of Forth, lias been brought to the front again in a recent meeting cf the Mid-Scotland Ship Canal association, which took place at the Royal United Service institution. Two principal schemes have been proposed, one by the direct rou’e ; the other, which avails itself of existing waters, is kno.vu as th' Loch Lomond route. It de. loped at the meeting that the experts are divided as to the relative advantages of the iwo routes, and it was agreed that what is needed is a commission which should include expert engineers representatives of shipping and of the British admiralty. A selection of the best route would be made by this commission. whose word would be final. — Scientific American. Lots of Fun. The two youngsters seemed to be having a hilarious time.

The Quivering Earth.

It has been pointed out that, in addition to the many tremors due io seismic, or earthquake, influences, which modern delicate instruments detect, there are certain pulsations which seem to have some ether origin. Some of these are diurnal, and are probably due to the influence of the sun and the weather on the ground. In,.wet weather the sides and - bottom of a valley carry a heavier load than the bounding ridges; in dry weather the case is reversed. Even the transpinirioi. of ture by plants may produce perceptible effects upon tlie tilth of the ground. Thus the face of mother qarth is almost as sensitive to external influent es as the skin of a llv!?.g change. Plain and Fancy Shuffling “How come yuh ain’t wukkin’ today? Been fiahed?” ■N-n-aw.
