The young girl uttered a great cry,
"datnee," site amid, "Do you think I am
eepeble of that. My God, do you really
think it"
"Yea if you continue to keep silence." She
elasped'her hands, and felt tortured by a
thousand agoities. "My heart has no bat.

deepairing we were, infinitely so, *hen we
left Bargereout, bat it waa no doubt better
for ue to go, both for our own peace, and
for yours and misery, in forcing us to work,
haa raised us in our own eyes. We arenolong-
er dependent on anyone. Our work gives
us enough for our daily needs, and we are
proud and independent, and quiet as to the
future. No, James, don't think we harbour
any hatred, for that unjust to us,"
"Then what mysiterions and ail -powerful

Don't try to prevaricate any more,

She shook her head.
He went on, more excitedly, tban before.

We are your brothers, always. When one
of US is diminished, to are you. When our
family is affected, it is yours that receives a

Martha, he eald, "0 Martha., Martha, plead
with your sister for me."
But the child did not obey. She knew
Isabel, and her indomitable resolutions. It
would be useless. She would not speak
'The diehonour of the Bargemonta will
be your work, Isabel," James said in a hard
voice, "Glory in it. I shall implore you no
more. It gives you too much pleasure. Yon

father, tn diemissing you from the castle,
had doubtless divined your ingratitude and
your bad instincts, so he removed you from

" James it la my turn to implore you

"Pardon me, but she obeli know every-

"James, don't forget what I am going to
confide to you. If you tell your mother what
paeses here, it will prove the greatest sorrow
of her life."
"Oh 1" he said ironically "you think

said to me that these two had murdered
Matiborgne,I could believe it easily enough.'
"It is quite possible. I had thought of it
royeelf. Where can I meet these two men ?"
"OnIy the devil could tell eau that."
• " Balarno is married and has a family,
where does his wife live!"
"They tell me he took shelter in an aban-
doned charcoal burners's but near the castle
of Vologne, a few steps from the border.'
"And Gaudelot ?"
"He has no settled home, but he is to
often with 13alarac, that if you find the one
yon are pretty sure to find the other."
"All right. It is %lama that I am going
to iteek."
" What do you think of doing ?"
"I want to save my father, Bucaille and'
everythinw tells me that these meads can
help me."
"Don't trust them, they are strong as
Hercules, and quite capable of killing you if
they fear troubte from you."
The young man merely smiled. His proud
look, broad ahoulders, lithe and powerful
frame, everything about him indicated calm,
courage, agility and streogth.
" Yes " said Bucaille, "one can have con-
fidence fn you. But two pairs of arms are
better than one for all that. Mine are not
to be despised, and if you like, I am at your
service."
"Thanks my brave 13ecaille, expected
nothing lees of you, but prefer to go alone,
neverthelees."
The landlord digbed and raid,
"Go. then, since you are determined, but
keep your eyes open, and be reedy with your
fist."
The forty-eight hours, leave which James
had milted for were not enough so he asked
an extension. The day after the events we
have described he presented himself at the
castle of Vologne.
He was received by the Count politely but
coldly.
Lucignieres knew of the arrest of the Mar-
quis, but not being thoroughly acquainted
with the ease, held himself on the defensive.
Jatnes raw this, but it did not trouble him.
He merely would ask one qtaration—"where

Many years ago, in Vermont, a piece of
clay the size ole ;peed egg was found at
some depth beneath the surface. The lump
of clay was broken, and in the oeuvre of it
was found a mouse. "The mouse was ree
moved," says Prof. Browne, "and taken to
a warm room, when it recovered and escap-

The marmot family produces the soundeet

peculiar state of hibernation the electric
sparkwill not rouse him. The most noxious
gases do not effect him in the slightest. If
hie temperature is raised above, that at whioh
he'breathed in his natural state, however
he will die almost immedietely. The ham!

with the upturned brim of black fancy straw,
the front of the orown of puckered green
velvet, and the back compelled of a large
bow of black moire ribbon, placed fiat at
the beak of the head, but rising up merely
above the velvet, and joining a soft green
parceled of subdued plumage nestled in at
the left side.
Another is somewhat similar in shape, but
has the brim brought up in a deep point,
almost at the back, while the upper part of
the straw crown is removed, and covered
over with wide black moire ribbon, which is
