ten left their flocks to subsist on what-
ever they could pith up, aid as an os-

So the soldiers stood in a group,,
throwing bits of all kinds of refuse to
a particularly loug-nocked ostrich. He
swallowed one bit after another with
lightning speed and then stood up
straight, while the soldiers lauglied
till they could hardly breathe to see
the objects chase oue another down
tour feet of nock.
As the ostriches helped themselves
to many useful and needed articles as
well as to the refuse of the camp, it
soon became necessary to refuse them
admission to the camp. But before
they were banished an untoward ac-
cident—for the ostriches only—de-
prh'ed two of the big' birds of life,
They were cut up and eaten by the
Canadians, who found them very good,

ed n tent and was ttotually engaged in
eating brass -headed cartridges Out of
the bandoleers!
All the ostriches had particulaely
long and flaked necks._ The 'Mailer -
wanderers frons the Dolninion noticed
th.e chance that it gave at the leavings
of the c0inp0, was it great boon to tate
oslrichee.
At Belmont a Rork of ostriches came
roaming into the British camp, The
Canadians bad • never before seen
these birds on their native heath.
They were tame, tend mucin • on the

:;icns w;;• "The brshful vir'gin's side-

Scenery "Above the Clouds."
Those civilians who intend to ven-
ture to a good height during the com-
ing flying season will see a great deal
both to interest and astonish there.
The distance to which they can see
will alone impress them, if they mere-
ly ascended about 2,000 feet, they;
would be able to have a view dg every
Rand of between 50 and 00 miles.
A height if 5,000 feet wouldenable
therm to enlarge their view to the ex -1
tent of nearly 90 miles; whilst should
they venture up to, say, 10,000 feet,
they could see 125 miles in every di-
rection—that is, the Horizon would be
that distance away.
But some of the things they would
see in the sky would perhaps excite
their wonder even more. If thunder-
storms were about, and the machine
was above the clouds, the passengers
might have the luck to witness the ex-
traordinary spectacle of the big black
thundercloud -heads thrust to a height
of -1. thousand feet 01' more tluougth
the level sea of white cloud above
which the aeroplane was travelling.
Sometimes there would be banks of
beautiful colors around the shadow of
the aeroplane, caused by the slue shin-
ing on the water -drops in the cloud on
which the shadow is cast.
At other .times very large rings
would appear. 'These would be due to
tiny particles of leo in the air, A
similar ring is occasionally seen
round the sun and .noon from the
ground,
These, with white fogbows•, double
and treble mock stuns, ice -pillars at
sunrise, and the whole capped by the
glorious cloud scenery, must indeed
bold out for he civilian high-flyer a
dazzling prospect.
The bulk of the milking in New
Zealand is now done with the machine,

CHAPTER V.
Another Victim.
As Remy waited in the dining -hall
for the Marquis to join him he ran
over in his mind their program. With
his hands alasped lightly behind his
back he paced up and down the long
room, iris eyes fixed on the wall before
him. Suddenly he stopped, then walk-
ed swiftly to the panelling of the wall
to the right of the fire -place.
The panels were large and plain,
with the exception of a minute bead-
ing and a carved device at the corn-
ers. It was the latter which had
oauglit Remy's eye—a device conven-
tional enough, of a cornucopia shred-
ding its wealth of fruit. It was the
carved form of an apple which
brought vividly to the young man the
serene of the night before,
He advanced his hand to touch it
when a voice came from the doorway,
and turning quickly Remy saw the
Marquis—a new Marquis, looking Iike
a provincial merchant, in a long black
frock -coat of coarse fustian, black
cloth breeches, stockings and well-
worn buckled shoes.
"The carriage' waits, Monsieur de
Perancourt” he said, smiling, and
Remy, glancing from the window, saw
drawn up in the courtyard a shabby,
covered cart, with broken and patched
harness, and filled with cases and
boxes peeked i11 straw. This was the
first step in the journey to the
Taverne de la Lune" at I' ecamp.
"Really, monsieur, it seems to lire
that the Coned•ie Francaise lost a
likely recruit when Remy Peraneourt
took to the profession of arms."
The young man, flattered, leaned
back in his chair and laughted.
"Come, Monsieur le Marquis, the
game's been easy. It's poor sport to
nialce fools of these provincials, these'
jaoks-in-officerwho tie a three -colored
sash around their shapeless figures
and proclaim themselves the friends
of the people. They can no more pene-1
trate the curtain of their self-import-
ance that—pah!"
The fugitives had rested since mid-
day. They were a few leagues be-
yond Bol'bec, and the sight of the
"Croix d&Argent," which ley invitingly,
back from the road, had proved tool
attractive to the travel -worn men. The
rain had poured down incessantly and
pitilessly, and the interminable
Normandy roads had been for the last
few hours rivers of mud and at points
almost impassable. The flat fields
of the countryside lay desolate to the
horizon and the stately rows of pop-
lars loomed up, gray silhouettes, in
the mist,
But the little room of the "Croix d' -
Argent" told nothing of the dreariness
without. The light from the wood
fire glinted pleasantly on the dark
furniture and on the brass and china
of the dresser. It was now past ten
and the remains of a meal still litter -1
ed the table; on the shelf over the
fireplace two candles burned steadily
in their brass stands.
In the kitchen behind tate 1105100/3
could be heard humming a love -song,
a song whitsh was acting an a lullaby)
on the Marquis, who, comfortably
seated in a corner of the settle, was
blinking at the flanges. A half -empty
bottle of excellent port stood at
Reniy's elbow. The young man took r
it up to replenish the glasses,
Suddenly his •figure straightened
rigidly into an attitude of listening.
The song i11 elite kitchen had ceased
and a voice, gruff and forbidding, was
raised• in authority, The listener
leaned forward and 'breathed a word
e1 cau't'ion into the eta! o1 the Marquis.
Then he again tool{ up the 'bottle,
The door was thrown violently open
and a maul entered, He g11oolt the
rain frons his sodden hat and threw
it upofr the tante, Renly Saw that a
bunch of tricolored feathers drooped
from the brim. The newcomer, bend-
ing his brows, glanced suspiciously
across at the pair by the fireside as
he draw off his gloves,
"A wet night, citizens."
Tao' wag a titan of about forty, thin
and wiry; Hi's small -statu7o was, ac-
centuated by the carriage of his head;
which was same, 'birdlike, between his
high shoulders, . His eyes, Targe and
set close to the 'bridge of his nose,
shone fixedly from (beneath his over-
hanging brows, and gave one the im-
pression that he was always looking
up at one. A tangle of reddish. hair
was .pushed back from a large fore-
head and was tied carelessly •be1ind in
a short pigtail. The face showed
shrewd cunning and was deeply mark-
ed with the smallpox, Altogether,
thought Remy, a most undesirable ac-
quaintanee for Monsieur the Marquis
de Dartigny.
But he returned the stranger's sal-
utation and pushed his chair back in-
vitingly, The newcomer came for-
ward and stretched his riding -boots
out to the ablaze. The moment before
the man's entrance had sufficed for
Remy to give the nobleman his cue,
and the old nvan in the settle seemed
to slumber.
"You must excuse the citizen here"
—Remy was Speaking with a strong
provincial accent; "a keener judge of
a bottle of port I never knew. Come,
Citizen Braille, get up to bed."
The old man looked up sheepishly,
blinking at the stranger. He smiled
foolishly and rose unsteadily to his
legs. Remy, as ho watched hien,
thought that the stage had lost an-
other capable, -actor in the person of
the master of the Chateau Chauville.
The Marquis reached out to grasp the
bottle, missed it cleverly, and clutched
at the table. The younger elan rose
and took him by the arm. There was
a little tortuous staircase opening out
into the corner of the room and lead-
ing to the bedrooms, and to this har-
em of refuge the old mal was piloted.
When Remy returned he threw him-
self into his chair with a short laugh.
The stranger was standing as he had
left hint, before the fire, the steams
rising from his rain -soaked clothes.
Remy pushed the bottle over to the
motionless figure.
"You will join me, citizen? Our
friend appreciates his own wares over-
nuch, I am afraid. A wine -merchant,
citizen, from .Limoges. We are on our
way to Havre with samples for ship-
ment—that is, if we have any samples
eft when we get there"
"Ah! And you have been on the
road to -day?"
"Yes. And you in the saddle?"
"Since the morning, citizen. The
work of the republic needs fleet horses.
You have your passports—you are
patriots?"
For answer Remy stood up and
raised his glass. "To the Convention,"
he said, "and to those brave men who
are fighting the people's battle in
Paris!" And, when he had drained
his glass, "Good wine, citizen, but I
wish it were the blood of the.Austrian
woman!"
The other matt smiled his approba-
tion,
"The Austrian's -blood will 'flow sure
enough, citizen. Your sentiments do
you a vast •credit. They are wanting
men such as you in Paris."
"Ah, Paris! What room is there
for a wine -merchant's clerk among the
patriots there?"
"You would help, eh? Give me
your name, citizen; I have influential
friends in the committee."
The speaker paused and took a sip
at his glass.
"I Wender," he went an, eyeing the
other shrewdly, "whether you 'passel
on your road a party of an old man
with a child—a little girl—and an
English nurse? I ant acting on orders
oceived from Paris."
"They are emigres?"
Feeding a City Afloat
So fes' tis mere Dating and drinking

senger at sea than anywhere else in

good, but comparatively few hotels
keep' such a splendid ."table" as one

The man from Paris was drawing
on the boots he hail tokenoff as Remy
finiehe(t speaking. IIe was laboring
under intense excitement and in his
eyes was the ferocious look of the ani-
mal who
ni-1nal.w'ho scents its' game. His.instrua-
tions had been explicit, Herat, his
master, looked upon the arrest of the
ci-devant Marquis de Dartigny as es-
sential to his reputation, and to the
more important capture of the son—
and those who helped him to his re-
ward would themselves reap plenti-
fa1'lly, So the man from Paris was
drawing on his boots,
He jumped to his feet, and snatch-
ing his hat from the bailie, made for
the door. Ile did not see the smile
on the face of the man by the fire.
"Come, oitizen, the rain has ceased
and the moon is up. Show me the
road now. There is little time to lose.
I may start to -night."
The two men passed out through
the kitchen cf the inn. The rain had
indeed stopped falling, but a bointer-
bus wind showered the drops from the
trees and scattered the white petals
of the apple blossoms. 'The moon,
mist -ringed, showed through a storm
wrack of clouds as Remy took his com-
panion by the arm and led him across
the orohard to where, behind a hedge,
the pale light showed the ruts and
'puddles of the high -road.
"I can point you the direction from
that rising ground in the corner yon-
der, We should see the lights of Bol-
bec from there. Yon are a stranger
in these parts, citizen?"
The other did not answer and they
made their way between the ample
trees until they reached the corner
indicated by Remy. Here a low, flat
wall separated- the orchard from the
road,
"Allow me, citizen" The younger
man held out his hand. "Step up. I
will follow you—so."
As the little man leaned on Remy's
arm the latter stepped nimbly aside
and, losing his balance, the Haan from
Paris fell heavily to the ground. The
next rnernen1 Remy, his hand pressed
tightly over his victim's mouth, was,
with a skill and celerity which denoted
practice, binding the arms of the ser-
vant of the republic with the tri-
colored scarf be had taken from alai
fallen man, Then, propping the Crus -I
sed figure against a tree, he sat on;
the wall and laughed.
"So., my little Jacquelin—that will
make nine since the 10th of August—
no, don't shout, it's quite useless." As
Remy spoke a gust of wind swept the
orchard, moaning and rustling dismal-
ly through the branches. "Besides, it
would only hurry matters—you would
die a little earlier—that's all."
The man against the tree bent his
eyes on Remy. .
"And your reputation, I knew you
as soon as you entered the rooms yon-
der. Remy de Perancourt knows most
of the Public Safety men."
For a moment surprise drove the
fear from Jacquelin's eyes.
"You are one of Gaspard de Dar-
tigny's men?"
The man on the wall made a sar-
donic ;bow.
"At your service, citizen. We are
a merry hand, are we not? We pay
in the coin we receive. 'Kill, kill!'
yells the Tribunal., and 'Kill, kill!' say
we. You have often wanted to sleet
Gaspard, oh—he whose lieutenants
strike where they find? Why did you
not call on the perfumier, Caron, at
the coiner of the Rue des Canettes?
—what a rich haul you would have
had! I am telling you this, Jacquelin,
because scents are safe with you for-
ever. To -night you go to your tribun-
al"
"You would kill mo here—a bound

There Is a Malayan temple within a
short distance of St. George's Street,

there is a Mormon mission in Isling-

houses in London- where the worship
ot auceetors is practised, and where
sumptuous feasts are spread for their
enjoyment in the silent hours ot the
night.
Such are a Pew of the pagan creeds
which have a footing, however slight,
in the world's capital; while of Chris-
tian sects the number is said to fall
little short of three. hundred. Among
the least -known of them are the San-
demanlans, an offshoot of the Glassites
who separated teem the Scottish Kirk
some two centuries ago.
Among the articlesof faith of the
Sandemanians• is abstinence from
blood and things strangled, and from
all amusements in whlcb chance plays
a part. They attend the Holy Com-
mon/on once 0 week; are great be-
lievers in the virtue of love -feasts, and
have an amiable practice of dining at
one another's houses between morn-
ing and evening services on Sunday.
Another little-known religious body
is that of the "Seventh Day Baptists,"
who believe that Saturday and not
Sunday should he observed ss the Sab-
bath, and who usually conduct their
services, so few are their numbers, at
one another's houses.

Another sect which still has its

founded nearly two centuries ago by

joined later on by Anne 'Lee, a wro1lau
who declared that she was the final

support themselves. Atter enduring
