All molten to a g reat interest in the matter, and, sometimes people feel more excitement than out- ward appearances indicate. Silence no longer broods over this drams old castle of the prince—loud shouts eeho through the hells and corri- dors, for the bandits have been fully aroused by the late events, and intend to tear the building down rather than permit the escape of those who have treated them so contemptuously. "Here are some steps," says Sam slid- denly, and they see lam apparently eink from view. "Take care, Mims Aileen; they resemble a ladder more than any- thing else. It is only a dement of some seven feet, but a fall would bo serious." _How eolicitous he is about her wel- fare, and with what tenderness does he help her down! Dudley is forced to gad:A/then he sees his care of her, and quietly whispers, as he assisto Miss Dor- othy: "Quite a gone case, I'm afraid, and as he had the good fortune to save her life on Mont Blanc, I suppose Sam has the inside track, I never coold try to hold out against him, you know." To whieh the New England ;spinster ventures not a word in reply; at an- other time she would have protested that nothing short of a duke would be a fitting mate for the beautiful Cali- fornia girl, whose millions run up to nearly half a score; but Mise Dorothy is not herself—the recent bitter exper- ience to which the has been subjected has had a serious effect upon her; and she hardly feels the same respect for foreigners who own titles. Slowly the cure is being radically effected, and. ere longsshe must realize that a good, hon- est American gentlemao, even if he is a plain Mr. instead of His Royal High- ness, is the best after all. "A door, by Jovel" annoiuices San. Ile has discovered it in rather a much way, for, turning at the moment to make a remark to Aileen, and con- tinuing his forward movement at the same time, he finds himself suddenly coming against some object that refuses to give way—tho afore:aid door. Be grasps the knob and tries it—fastened, of course. Then he shake's it vigorously, as though he would prOtost against such a barrier. "Let me get at it," romerts the great Canadian door destroyer; "ldnally give me room, please." One glance lute satisfied Dudley that tho door opens in the other direction, and he knows he can staid it flying with a single vigorous kiek. They watch him with interest, and Sara makes suudry , remarks in criticism of his style, all of • which the other takes good-naturedly, for it is well nigh impossible to make MeLtene angry. He has reason to be proud of his work, for when in answer to his sum - Molle, in the shape of a sudden terrific kick, the door gives way, it is with a eraah. Nothing bars the path. The door has shot back on itti hinges, and crashed against the wall, leaving the opening elear. Sam again steps forward. "Well done, my hearty! I'll recom- mend you to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland to lead his constables when - ejecting tenwits. You beet the record. What have we here, now?" and. he crosses the portal, almost immediately crying: "Keep back, ladies! ihi the name of Heaven, keep bank—the rascals are on hand!" It would seem so, judging from the cries that break out upon the night air. One fact is patent to all—they have reached the outside of the castle, for above can be seen the stars, and the moon Is shining around an adamant - tower. • It stipmet to be a sort of court they have reached—beyond lies the gate, and - the draw -bridge, they remember, is just outside this. This court, however, has occupants—men are appearing in it from various doors and windows, men ! who are armed and delperate, alma, mean to continue the battle, which, up tthoen. tliis time, has gone so hardly against Sam Buxton has seen something of adventure' during his roving life, and can look back on many scenes that kindle hi a blood, but he does not re- member a single inotance Where he seemed to have so much at stake as now, since Aileen Winchester look to him for protection. He has not known her a great while, but for all that her interests have be- come very dear to him ,and he stands ready to strain every nerve in order to win success It is a plain ease. Here are the fugitives, yonder the gate that leads to freedom, and im. tween them swarm the ragged bandite.. To gain the exit they must of necessity come in contact with the rascally band. When Baron Sam sees a plain duty bo-, fore him he never beats about the bush.' He believes in the stern, soldier -like principles that sent the immortal Light Brigade into the jaws of death at the battle of Balaklava: "Theirs not to reason why, Theirs but to do and die." "Dud," he says, in a strained voiee, "we must teach them . attother lesson." "Yes," returns the Cemedian, gloomily yet 'firmly, for he likes not this butcher 'business, being a peaceable man un- der ordinary circurnstancee. "Then suppose we start in before they have entirely recovered from the other shock." "Give the word and. I'll make 'em be. lieve a Cdnadie,n wolverine hoe broken loose." "Now then!" They might open fire from the en- trance to the secret passage,. but this is not Sanas way of doing things,lIe knows a deiaonstration niuet be madethat will effectually alarm their foes, giving the *fugitives a cbanee to open the heavy gate, lower the draw -bridge and escape. So the two of them rush into the court -yard side by side, and with trem- endous shouts open on the banditti. The Italians, of course, being taken by surprise, experience a sort of (1? - moralisation .They seater, And thio adds to the tonfusio, while the terrible reports of those American revolvers ling out upon the night air.

So these bandettl, having no genuine encouragement to further ex. pose themselves, seek the same shelter that screens their leader's; precieue hide from the bullets. Baron Sam hears that voice, and be- lieving the prime may even fire upon them while they are crossing the court- yard with the ladies, he resolves to dis- lodge the other. With this object in view, he suddenly rushee to the quarter whence the valorous shouts have pro - monied, gaine an angle of the building, after hearing a bullet sing past his ear, and catches a glimpse of a fleeing figure that races like mad; into the- castle, races with his white mockery of hair streaming in the air, for the leader of the Italian banditti,Era Diavola, though venomous and cruel, is not brave, and when maamteracling as Colonel Marcheel he has seen enough of the man from across the sea to have a decided re- spect for his abilities as a marksman, The object that induced this assault hae now been pretty generally accom- plished, for the courtyard eeems to be free cif the enemy, with the exception of a number who would rather remain and nurse their wounds. Back again to the secret passage Sam flies, still holding the smoking revolver in leis hand, with which he has jut done fetich execution., "We are ready, Aileen—Mies Dorm .thy. Follow me," he pants, and they do not hesitate to obey, as Sam Buxton catches up an armful of traps and, leads the way in the direction of the gate. Me,Lane has seen his intentions and apeedily follows suit, so that in a min- ute the little party is hurrying aeroes the open apace with the object in view of forever quitting this inhospitable palace near the Raver Po, where they have been so badly treated. They meet with no obstacles, for the lesson so recently taught by the two comrades has been quite enough to con- vince the Italiens that fortune is not on their side—they have not as yet re- covered, nor has a leader appeared on the scene. Now the heavy gate looms up 'before them-othrongh its openings they ean see the deep moat, over which hangs the drawbridge. If ever men had difficulties to wrestle with, these two eertainly find them now, but energy will do muoji toward ledue- trials that often ing the mountain of stares one in the face. Baron Sam shouts something to las comrade which the latter doee not quite catch, but he can easily guess its mean- ing. He is to pay his respecte to the gate, while the other searches for some means of lowering the driewbridge— s must be found surely ropes or chain somewhere that will accomplie,li this, ervey of the field, iron that, fortu- d. sends it against Dudley makes one si picks up a great bar o nately lies near by, en the lock of the gate. He has tossed weights in many a match, but never with so inuell at stake ea now, when he plays for huntan lives. There is a terrible mash, and the gate no longer stands as a barrier to their progress—the great bar of iron !sae eintshed tbe lock to splinters. Dudley seizes hold of- the gate—it is a massive affear, and generelly neeclei two men to turn it, but lie sends it flying back. a force of men. This is evidently the At the same mmnent a roar of tri- umph ie heard from Sam, and that worthy is discovered clambering to a platform, to throttle an astounded W- inn on- duty there, toss him below, and with a sharp knife sever the ropes tlmt So they ugh on, ho ing 101 the best, yet ready o Meet the orst, nod be. That is a spirit to conquer difficulties —whit men stand beside itt Sam. has found what he believes to be tho right road, and along this he eta* sista Aileen with all the gallantry of hie nature. She oven ()lingo to him at times, where the descent is rough; and as for Dudley, ha finds Miss Dorothy quite a load, for site gives out 04t criti- enl places, and has to be carried bodily over obstacles, with many a little shriek of dismay to find that of all pewits, she, Dorothy Green, should be lifted by a man, However, she survives the et- perience, and perhaps, deep down in her withered heart, ;secretly enjoys it. They are making progress downward, and enust sooner or later land in the valley; but Baron Sam has discovered that this is not the same road up which they ollinbed when eccompanied by the count and the ragged retinue of *br- e vants, Never mind; if only a moderate de- gree of luck attends them they will roach the valley wnere the road runs to Turin and by using proper judgment may arrive at that plate where the train lies. i» the direction of the castle a bed. lam of eounds is heard. Perhaps Era Diavolo is marshaling his hosts to come forwara anew. Men of his character are like wolves on the trail of a young stag—their pertinacity and ferocity make up for the real cowardice of their natures. "That reminds rae, Dud—more am- munition, my ;tear boy—let us cry a halt for a minute"; and while they thus seettre a breathing spell, the gentlemen proceed to place their weapone upon a serviceable footing, as there is no tell- ing when the shooting hone may be called upon. "Now I feel better. Let us once more push on. You stand it well, Miss Win- chester," says Sam, when all has been done, even Aileen's small revolver re- ceiving it share of attention, although her chaperon raises. her poor hands in horror, as she always does at sight of the California girl holding such a wea- pon in her hands. Aileen laughs as she replies: "I have climbed too many mountains in the gold country not to have become accustomed to the exercise. You can't tire me out, Baron Saml" "And you, Miss Dorothy?" politely, though with a sly nudge at Dudley's' ribs. "I am dying by inches, but I trust you will not deem it best to desert me," she replies, in a sort of hysterical way. "The prince would see that you were taken care of—if he thought there was a ransom back of it," acmarked Dudley, slyly. "Wieked man, you reproach me. 'But I am or a confiding nature—I prefer to believe good. of everyone," she simpers. They waste no time while excluinging these few sentences, but continue on down the hillside, overcoming what ob- stacles there are in the way, and finally arriving at the base of the elevation. Here they run across the railroad, while just beyond shines the river of which much has been written in Roman history—the Po, which, with its sources among the snow-covered Alps, cremes Northern Italy, and empties into the beautiful Adriatic not a great distance below Venice. • To turn and head in the direction of the wreck is an easy vnatter—the sounde that come from this quarter are enough in themselves to guide them, for Italians cannot work without the greatest of confusion. Beeides, the Americans have their own good judgment to assist them. .As they draw nearer they cliacover that another motor has arrived, bearing wrecking train, though few .appliances for -business, beyond a few ropes and levers, aro seen.

Sam Buxton happens to be the sort of work done, for to cross the moat that surrounds the castle on the side where it faces the valley, some sort of bridge is necessary. lo, made in trying to clear the wreck. Dudley gives a rousine Canadian cheer le man in charge is a young fellow, who imagines he knows about every- thing under the sun, when, in truth, bis knowledge Is exceedingly limited.

The other is shrewd enough to gawp the benefit to be derived from using the suggestions—Ile accepts them as though they originally arose from some thought of his own. • As a result, progress is immediately made, and order begins to arise out of chaos. Of course, the only benefit Sam Buxton expecte to reap from all this lies in the fact•that they will be the sooner away from thie dangerous locality, and She may not be able to wholly neon- f 'n Turin Ho forgets nothing—all the while lie cite herself to the thought of Aileen watches the men clearing the wreck, taking up milli so plain a man its Baron and offering suggestions in his peculiar Sem, when it much finer -looking fellow way to the man in charge, he is keeping —Dudley, for inetance—is near; but ono eye upon the road that leads 45 that young wcwan does not go around the old cootie at presentoccupied by milting opinions about her friends, being Era, Diavolo alai his nefarious band. able to decide for berself.
