You are my only hope." So her father was marrying her to a marquis! That implied birth on her side. And yet she was content to pair off with this dull young adven- turer in the tarnished lace! "It shall never be!" M. Leandre was storming passionately. "Never! I swear it!" And he shook his puny fist at the blue vault of heaven— Ajax defying Jupiter. "Ah, but here comes our subtle friend.

And then, as he still hesitated, she stretched out and caught frim by the arm. Her voice was vibrant with earnestness. "Andre, you don't realize how serious is your position. You must go away at .once, and lie completely lost until my uncle can bring influence to bear to obtain your pardon." I hay he had removed. Within five "That will be a long time, then," minutes he was soundly asleep. great a distance as possible between Gavrillac' and himself. Midway across the vast common to the north of Guigen he came to a halt. Beyond loomed a tall building which he knew to be an open barn, standing on the edge of a long stretch of meadowland. It was as big as a house, yet consisted of no more than a roof carried upon half a dozentall, brick pillars. But densely packed under that roof was a great stack of hay that promised a warm couch on so cold a night. He cleared a trough for his body, and lying down in it, covered himself to the neck with the said Andre -Louis. "M. de Kercadiou has never cultivated friends at court." "There is M. de La Tour d'Azyr," she reminded him, to his astonish- ment. "That man!" he cried, and then he laughed. "Why, yes, You see, I have not yet said that I will be Marquise de La Tour d'Azyr.

" "No, no, Climene; you are mistaken. There is no one coming. We are quite safe. Why do you start at shadows?" More was not needed to reassure Andre -Louis- He had overheard enough to know that this was but the case of a pair of lovers who, with less to fear of life, were yet—after the manner of their kind—more timid of heart than he. In the space of cropped meadow between the barn and the hedge stood a man and a woman, both young. The man was a well -set-up, comely fellow, with a fine head of chestnut hair tied in a queue by a broad bow of black satin. He was dressed with certain tawdry attempts at ostentatious em- bellishments, which did not prepossess one at first' blance in his favor. The child—she was not more than that, perhaps twenty at the most— possessed, in addition to the allure- ments of face and shape that went very near perfection, a sparkling vi- vacity and a grace of movement the like of which Andre -Louis did not re- member ever before to have beheld assembled in one person.

"Monsieur," said he, with the air of a conspirator, "the time for action has arrived, and so has the Marquis. That is why." "Tell me, tell me! Speak!" Climene implored him, holding out her hands in a supplication no pian of sensibil- ity could have resisted. And then on the instant she caught her bread;► on a faint scream. "My father!" she exclaimed, turning distractedly from one to the other of those two. "He is coming! We are lost!" (To be continued.) Cap of Light for Motorist.

It sometimes gives an added in- terest toa favorite fruit, to. know' what its naive means: Take the apri- cot, for instance. The word hair the same derivation as sur familiar word preeocioue, and for an excellent rea- son. In its native climate the apricot tree buds very early in the spring and has flowers before It has leaves. The fruit follows rapidly, and, In this early and rapid development, it carries out the full force of its name: "early ripe." The familiar green plum, so well liked fol. preserving purposes, has a practical reason for being called "greengage." It could not very well be named a green pluni, as that would imply an unripe fruit, so, as an Eng- lishman by the name of Gage first brought this variety of plum into England, it was very appropriately named for him, the descriptive color being used as the first syllable of this specially coined word. The coconut (often spelled cocoa- nut) is a confusing name for many persons who think it must have some connection with the cocoa ,bean, be- cause of the similarity in spelling. It is 'claimed that t coco palm was alwa nut until the time of he fruit of the ys spelled coco f Dr. Johnson's famous dictionariy, when, probably through mistake, the confusing let- ter "a" was introduced into the spelling of the word. This has been I retained to a great extent ever since. "Coco" is the Portuguese ward for mask, and there is also a species of monkey known as the "Macoco" from its mask -like face. At the end of each coconut, on its brown fibrous coating, are three marks bearing a grotesque resemblance to a face. Hence the name coconut, mask -nut.
