LOUIS, 1904 LOVE AND A TITL While 'these two were drinking great draughts from the fountain of love which had suddenly sprung up in the de- sert of despair, as it were, Hal rode as fast es bis horse could bear hila to Forbaoh. The reason he did not meet Vann and Clarence was because the ataafht was :too tedious for our 13 road young hero, and he went as the crow !lies, regardless of the laws of trespass and the high hedges, over which the bay mars, ,who was well idled wi' th corn, and had drank a pint of ale as a re- fresher, hopped quite willingly. Riding etaaight into the castle yard, Hal, arta& to his surprise, met with quite a reception. POT, instead of the UMW' orderly quietude lights were flash- ing about in all directions, stable helps were running to and fro and the grooms were hurriedly harnessing some of the horses. At sight of Hal, dusty hot and per- spiring, and the mare, hot and excited, with her smooth skin flecked with foam --there was a general Aruna of ex- citement and a gathering around him. Hal, at once concluding that lois es- capade had been discovered, got off the mare coolly, and flung the bridle to a groom, who took it with a. stare of as- tonishment. "Well," said Hal, turning around to all points of >the group, "what's the matter? castle on fire?" Before any of (them could reply a tall form came striding down the yard with a lantern in dais hand. It was Lord Nugent. He stared for a minute at Hal, then .beckoned him 'to follow. "So you've come back, Mastel Hal, have you?" eyeing him up and down. "What on earth is the matter?" " I was just going to ask you that," said Hal. "Surely a. fellow can take an eveetng ride without creating all this confusion." "An evening ride!" echoed Nugent, grimly. "Come, that won't do! What Lave you been up to? for I'll be sworn you hold the key to all this mystery." "What mystery?" asked Hal cautious- ly; "let us go in while you tell me, I want to see Vane." "Vane!" exclaimed Nugent, stopping short. "Hasn't he been weth you then?" "Not exactly!" said Hal, emphsutical- ty"Then, where the devil is he, and Nugent. "Don't you know? I'm pretty where are the rest of them?" demanded well the only person left in the castle. Lady FerndnIe has gone, disappeared, vanished! Vane laas disappeared; that fool Clarence has disappeared --could ac- count for him if he hadn'tleft his port- inontean behind; Lady Lucelle is sud- 'enly summoned to England, by a shoat, apparently, for there are no telegrams at this time of night; and, to rale the comedy complete. Ned, one of the grooms, is found bound Band and foot and gagged, in a stable, from 7vhich most of the saddle horses seem- ed to have disappeared also!" Hal, aghast at the major part of this information, could not suppress a grin at the latter. "Gagged, was he?" he said said cool- ly. "Serves him right." "Perhaps so, no doubt," said Ngent, ironically, "but perhaps you'll kindly explain." Hal sank onto a chair—they had reached the smoking -room by this time —and motioned to Nugeat to shut the door. "Look here, Nugent," said he, "Jeanne is all right, I know." "Thank Heaven!" said Nugent, who, for all :his lightand earelss manner, was inwardly troubled. "Thanks Heaven!" echoes a voice be- hind them, and Bell, pale and anxious, came forward. "Yes, Jeanne's all right; don't alarm yourself Bell. I left her--ahem--safe and sound, and in good company. As to the rest I know no more than you do." "But the man in the stable?" queried Nugent. "Oh," said Hal; "that's all right too. My man, George, will explain that, I've no doubt. The fact is, Nugent, Bell, I can't be as explicit as I could wish; other people concerned, you know." "What other people:" demanded Bell. but before Hal could answer, satisfac- torily or otherwise, •there was a knock at the door. "Oh, George," groaned Nugent, "here's the Lambtons, no doubt, come to ask if it's robbers or fires We've kept the castle as quiet as possible, but there bas been steal a row in the stables, horses coming and horses going, that I l don't wonder at everybody being dis- turbed. I'm off. I'll leave you to ex- plain. If Lady Ferndale is all right. 1'nt satisfied; the rest can take care of themseh•es." It was not either of the Lambtons, but le}llis, who, discreet, es usual, though }ookiag mightily curious. just put his head in at the door, and eu"iJli- tt utg apologetically, said: I ••C;ount elilcoff, nay lord, wi:,hes to see r• the marquis." ,Il ,! s.

"What I" exclaimed Nugent, amazed then he exchanged glances with poo Bell, and looked down. Simple Bell, of course, at once Tooke toward the curtains. Both men knew a once what Hal had been engaged in, bu both were puzzled to comprehend hi return. Where was the princess?" "Yes," said the count, upon whom nei ther Nugent's averted gaze. nor Bell' confusion were lost; "yes, the princes had retired to her room, complaining o a headache." "They always do; that's the excuse, muttered Nugent. "I beg your pardon," said the count bending forward. "Pray go on," said Nugent. "Complaining of a slight headache, her companion refrained from disturbing her until the hour for dinner, when knock- ing, and not receiving any answer, she deemed it best to leave her mistress, concluding she was asleep, undisturbed. Imagine our astonishment and distress, my lord, when, upon return, we discov- ered her highness' room empty, and no sign of her to be discovered in any part of the house or grounds!" Nugent nodded. He couldn't express any astonishment, for he had jumped at the'whole truth. "Of course you gave the alarm?" said Nugent, for the sake of saying some- thing. The count smiled. "You have forgotten that her high- ness' reputation was at stake. We high- ness' not even apprise her father or a servant of her disappearance, but I, myself, started in pursuit to Baden." "Why to Baden?" said Nugent. "Because—for a hundred reasons," said the count, waving his hand. "As you see, I failed to overtake her, or to discover any trace of her." l "A thousand :!Janke, any lord. Cie tlemen, I must take uty leave. (Soo night, or, rather, good -morning, for see the dawn is at hand." And, with his most finished bow, walked out. Almost before the hall door had close Ilal burst out from behind the cunni al aflame with passion. "Oh, Nugent, i'nt on fire 1 To hea the old scoundrel talk in that cold bloo -way of hunting her down, and not b able to knock the life nut of his va niched old body !" "Steady !' exclaimed Nugent.

"Anal did you think 1 was going t leave her to the mercy of that hear less old wretch ?" almost shouted Ha Do you know that he meant to car her off to Russia to -day ?" "And, instead, you kcal e carried her— where ?" said Nugent. Tial cooled down, "Look here, Nugent, and you, Bell," he said, wiping the perspiration from lois face, ""there's no tune to tell you all about it; the princess isn't five-ancl- twenty !miles from here, and if he gets scent of her whereabouts, we are lost," E "What ! and you left her alone 1" ex- - claimed Nugent. "Is it likely Y" retorted. Hal. "No, , Jeanne is with her." "And Vane, too Y" exclaimed Nugent sinking into a chair, laugbing with re lief. "No, not Vane,' said Hal. "I don' know where is 1" n wnseehe. • And Nugent started up again. "And—and you have left your sister - 1 —those two girls alone ! — where, i the nam ea eofH rent "At Durbach,"said Hal. "They're quite safe—George is at the inn.' r "At an inn," groaned Bell—"Jeanne at an inn 1" d 1 "Yes," said. Nugent, grinning, "that's t it.

"Didn't I come back for Vane Y" said s Hal, feeling himself injured. '"Where is f Vane ?" „ i "And Lane, and Lady Lucelle ?" de- manded Nugent. Tial waved his hand. `'All able to take care of themeselvea," he said, `'but Jeanne and Verona aren't, and so I'in going back to them, and I wish I hadn't left thein.' "_And afterward ?" asked Nugent. "Yon heard what he said; the port's watched, detectives on the lookout; do you think, my dear, simple young buc- caneer, that you are going to carry off his excellency's bride as easily as if she 1 were a suck of potatoes ?" 1 - "1 don't know," said Hal, quietly; "but I'm quite certain of one thing— hat, if if his excellency and I happen to 1 meet, I shall put a bullet through him or receive one from hhu. I may not be able to marry Verona, but he never shall I swear. And now I'm off." "Stop—stop lain, Lord Nugent!" cried Bell, in an agony of apprehension. "He'll do something rash—and—and—he must be hungry." "No, but I'm thirsty," said Hal, can- didly. "Give me some wine, and let me get back. I can't rest a moment" "Is there a decent horse left in the etable?" said Nugent, coolly. Then Bell brought some wine and bis - suits, and Hal went to his room and plunged his head into a basin of water; nd, when lie cane back, the two friends ad made out some sort of a plan. It was rranged that Hal should ride back to Durbach and acquaint Jeanne with Vane's absence and the count's visit; she could then cane back if she chose. For the rest, Nugent and Bell were to drive Mrs. Fleming over to Dur- bach in the morning. "As to Vane," groaned Nugent, "it would be useless to look for him as to hunt for a needle in a bottle of hay. And as for Clarence and Lady Lucelle, they may go to—to heaven, for what I care." Ilal drank half a bottle of Johannes - berg, and ate about half a pound of bis- cuits, and then the three went into the stable, and finding all quiet, smuggled out a hunter of Lord Nugent's, which, fortunately for him, a groom had locked up in a stable of which he had kept the key. Here you are," said Nugent, helping Hal to saddle him. "Dick Turpin's ride to York pales before the amount of equestrianism which has been going on here this evening. Don't lame him if you can help it, Hal. Thank Heaven, you and I have never been in love—'eh, Bell?" Bell sighed. "Take care, Hal," he says. Hal leaps into the saddle. "And—and don't alarm Jeanne about Vane." "All right," says Hal, and the next minute he is off and away. "And now to go and have a bath, and prepare for the volumes of interroga- tories which Mesdames Maud and Geor- gina will overwhelm us with," said Nu- gent. "A nice task, to try and persuade two sharp young ladies that all this mystery means nothing. If I only know where Vane was!" Hal went very quietly and cautiously, but he might just as well have dashed off at a gallop, for no sooner had he left the avenue than the count, who had been watching and waiting for his appearance quietly mounted Verona's own horse, and followed at a safe and discreet distance, but quite near enough to keep his quarry within sight and sound. d• faith You cannot be expected to have faith in he Shiloh'e Consumption Cure, the Lung ( Tonic, as a cure for Colds, Coughs and all d diseases of the air passages, if you have n not tried it.

Using my influence at the Government office, I telegraphed to every station on the various roads from here to the seacoast and inland, but we have utterly failed to find any trace of her. As a last resource, my lord, I ventured to disturb your rest—" Nugent shook his head. "You haven't done that, count." "And to implore your assistance. I conjure you to relieve our anxiety, if it be in your power to do so." "On my honor," said Nugent, "1 have- n't the least idea of the princess' where- abouts. Until you informed me, I did not know that she was missing." "And your reverence?" said the count. Poor Bell shook his head dolefully. The count looked from one to the oth- er. "Pardon me," he said, with his court- liest bow, "may I be excused from in- quiri.;g the cause of the extraordinary bustle in the yard:" "Certainly," said Nugent. "The fact i, some of our friends have left for Eng- land to-night—suddenly." "Ah!" said the count—"as I thought!" And his face went to an extraordinary and even alarming yellow. "What do you mean?" demanded Nu- gent, abruptly. "Do you think the princess has gone with them?" The count shrugged his sholders sig- nificantly, then he smiled and smoothed his hat with a hand that trembled with suppressed passion. "That, my lord, is my conjecture; but—" and he lowered his voice just when another man would have raised it—"but if that be the right solution, my anxiety is at an end. Long before this, friends of mine, upon whore I can rely, are watching at the port, armed with the prince's authority to arrest the princess' progress and communicate with me. My lord, I have the pleasure to assure you that your friends will not succeed in their plot to destroy the happiness of a whole family." "Meaning yourself, count," said Nu- gent, with ominous calmness. "My friends, if you allude to the marquis and marchioness," are, unfortunately, absent from hotne, but as the marquis has done me the honor of leaving me in his place, I shall only be too pleased to act on his behalf,' and be Lowen. The count grinned with rage, but bow- ed with the extreniest courtesy.

Though it has long been known that gold is plentiful in Humboldt county, it is not definitely known that nuggets flow through the water pipes until to- day, when word was brought to Winne- mucca from Spring Valley to this effect. Mrs. Slater, a young woman who went to Spring Valley a few weeks ago to teach school, turned on the water faucet yesterday morning, when a bright gold nugget rolled out.

A novel scheme to prevent a horse from kicking was introduced lately by a truekuman in front of tate New York Cen- tral Station at Buffalo. The truckman recently traded his horse for an animal that looked superior to the one he drove. lie drove the horse down to the depot stand yesterday for the first time. A few minutes after arriving there he learned to his sorrow, that the animal was afflicted with the kicking habit; that is, kicking when standing still. The animal was so proficient with his heels that ho knocked off a section of the dashboard. The truckman had no, other horse to use, so had to put• up with the kicker. In the meantime, bowover, lie be- gan to think of a scheme to break the animal. He decided on one last night, and this morning when he took his place at the depot he brought forth two heavy pieces of rope. These }1e attached to the bit, on each side and the other ends he fastened to straps which circled each hind leg, just above the hoof. Tho horse not- iced the strange action of its new owner, tv et, but remained 'very quiet. A number of truckman watched the pro- ceedings 7 s with interest. est Several minutes elapsed before the horse got uneasy and tried to throw lois heels against the wagon box. The at- tempted elevation of his heels pulled the ropes taut, and the animal's head was jerked quickly toward the pavement. Surprise seemed to overcome the horse and for some time lie did not again try to kick. He apparently was not satisfied and in a little while he tried it again. His hind feet never left the pavement, but instead he was thrown to his knees, by the quick pull on the bit: The horse continued to kick for a time, but to no effect. The truckman told a number of friends that he learned of this method of break- ing a kicking horse in the West. He said it would take time to effect the cure, but in the end the animal will be as docile as a lamb. t: • ONIONS BRING SLEEP, It is Healthy Slumber Because Opium Furnished is Small. The present popularity of the onion as an article of diet, so great as to have caused comment in Philadelphia and many other places, is perhaps to be ex-' plained by the fact as set forth by a physician that the onion is a cousin to ' the poppy and contains a mild form of opium, "As far as onions produce drowsiness,” says this doctor, "it would do about as well to use their juice as a smelling salt as to eat them, though the effect! would not perhaps be so long. The rea- I eons that onions are heathy is that they induce quiet sleep. The idea that they are particularly good for the digestion a is partly erroneous, especially when they are fried. Opium is bad for the . digestion, but the little that is contained in the onion does not harm." 4-► • Minard's Liniment Cures Colds, Etc. 4 r. Teeming Millions of India. (Chicago Chronicle.) According to figures printed in the British blue book and based on the latest census British India ]las a population of 294,000,000. This is 41,000,000 more than it was twenty years ago, and the in- crease is greater than was to have been expected, in view of the high death rate, which was partly due to repeated fam- ines. One hundred and ninety-two mil- lions of people support themselves by agriculture, and live chiefly on rice. There are less than 3,000,000 Christians in India, of whom 2,600,000 are natives. More than two-thirds of the whole popu- lation can neither read nor write. In ten years the taxes have increased from 6 cents per capita to 45 cents.

One can hard- ly blame the judge and his benignant old lieutenant for "leeching" such juicy and easy marks.

Interesting Experiment Made by Maker I . of Roofing Tiles. Rock Products reports the following interesting experiment: In making cement roofing tiles it is often found that they take a long time to set or harden. One of the makers of these roofing tiles, who had seen con- siderably troubled with slow -setting Be- ment, noticed that plasterer facing a wall with cement, threw a handful of soda into the mixing pot. On inquiry it was found that the purpose of 4 tea was to make the cement set qui';kly. The roofing tile -maker went home s nd tried the experiment himself. The ; e- sults appeared satisfactory, since whirs time he has added a handful of soda to each sack of cement and has had Ito further trouble from slow setting. It remains to be seen though what in the long run will be the effect upon the qa al- ity and durability of the product.
