et once.
"I never saw it before in my life,"
he &tiered. ''I do not wear cs watch:

of that sort."
She threw it oontemptuously away
from her into the grate.
" A. woman lied to me about it," ehe
said slowly. ''I am ashamed of my-

They had been tegetlier for near-

CHAPTER XL.
The Way to Pau.
Titoway to Pau which Mr.
Sabin chose may possibly have
been the most circuitous, but
it was certainly the safest. Although
not a niuscle of hie face had moved,
although he had not by any physical
movement or speech betrayed his
knowledge of the fact, be was perfect-
ly well aware that las little state -
05 to Ids future movements was
overeeard and carefully ,noted by the
tall, immaculately dressed young man
who by some strange chance seemed
to have been at his elbow since he had
left his rooms an hour ago.
'Into the lion's mouth Indeed," he
muttered to himself grimly, as he
hnilecl a hansom at the corner and
was driven homeward. Tile limes of
Berlin were Y,erY,be8,01411, 111.0. if, Was
-Ilot witlettnY immediate idea ck saun-
tering beneath them that a few honrs
later he was driven to Enston and
stepped Into an engaged carriage on
the Liverpool express. There was a
travelling cap drawn down to his eyes
and a rug pulled up to las throat, be
sat in the far corner of Ms compart-
ment apparently enjoying an evening
paper—as a matter of -fact anxiously
watching the platform. Re hall taken
care to allow himself only a slender
margin of time. In two minutes the
train glided out of the station.
He drew a little sigh of relief—he,
who very seldom permitted himself the
haxury of even the slightest revela-
tion of his feelings. At least he had a
start. Then he unlocked a travelling
case, and, drawing out an atlas, sat
with it upon his knee for some time.
When lie closed it there was a frown
upon his faee.
"America!" he exclaimed softly to
himeelf. ',What a lack of imagination
even the sound of the place seems to
denote1 It is the most ignominious re-
treat I have ever made" •
• "Yon made the common mistake," a
clidet voice at his elbow remarked, "of
many of the world's greatest cliplo-
matiste, You underrated your adver-
saries." •
Mr. Sabin distinctly started, and,
clutching at his rug, leaned back in
liM corner. A young man in a tweed
travelling snit was standing by the
opposite window. Beland 11110 Mr.
Sabin noticed for the first time a nar-
row mahogany door. Mn. Sabin drew a,
short breath, a,nd was himself again.
Underneath the rug hiS fingers stole
into his overcoat pocket and clasped
esoneething coicl neal firm.
"One at least," he said grimly, "I
Perceive that T have held too lightly.
Will you pardon a novice at necro-
mancy if he asks you how you found
your *ay here ?"
Felix smiled.
"A little forethought," he remarked,
"a little luck, and a sovereign tip to
an accommodating Inspector. The car-
riage in which yon are travelling is,
as you will doubtless perceive before
you reach your journey's erica a
species of saloon. This little door"—
Welching the one, through which he
had issued—"leads on to. a lavatory,
and on the other side ie a non-smok-
ing carriage. I found ;that yoa had
engaged a carriage on this train, by
posing as your servant. I 'selected
this one as being particularly suited
to an old gentleman of nervous dis-
poeition, and arranged also that the
• non-smoking portion should be re-
served for me."
Mr. Sabin Podded. "And how.," he
asked, "111(1 you know that I meant
to go to America?"
Felix eltrugged He shoulders and
took a seat. -
"Well," he said, "I concluded that
you would be looking for a change of
air somewhere, and I really could not
see velvet part of the world you had
left open to yourself. America MtJio
only courltry Strong enough to keep
you! Besides*, I reckoried a little
upon that curiosity with regard to
undeveloped countriee which I have
observed to be one of your traits. So
far as I an aware, you have never
resided long in America."
"Neither have I even vleited Rama

democratic France. 1 oan imagine tbat

territory called the States or th
Church was the temporal possession
of the Pope. The iron crown of Lore

thedral at Monza, near Milan.
In connection with the history o
the iron crown may be told th
curious facto of the two coronation
of Napoleon Bontiparte, who brought
the aged Pope Plum VII. frona Rome
to Pates in order that the Corsican
General, First Consul of France
might be made Emperor with all thei
formalities of ancieet times. Fur-
ther, .to carry out the idea, Napoleon
and Josephime tvere arrayed in cos-
tumee like those of the middle ages ;
he wore also a mantle of crimson
velvet strewn with golden bees, and
lined with white satin and ermine.
Following him were all the new made
eriames of his family, cardinals,
bishops, anabaesadors, and officials of
various high grades. The venerable
pontiff anointed Napoleon in the W-
aal manner, and then took the im-
perial crown, intending to
place it on the head of
the great conqueror. But,
either by a, sudden impulse, or
by a theatrical stroke previously de -

crown from the hande of Plus, and
