The proecesion was a very pietur- esque one, composed of small land own- ers and fanners from every part of the kingdom,. all of them dressed in holiday attire and wearing emblems representative of the districts from which they eaute.

'Norfolk, Z *a. Feg. 9. --Export divers, g who leave thoroughly examined the wreck of the Old Dominion steamer Monroe, sunk in collision with the Nantucket, ex- press the belief to -day while the bodies of the forty-one victims, as well as the cargo, can be saved, the vessel itself will he a total loss. They declare that the reason none of the bodies of the dead has cane to the surface or been rescued is du.. to the terrific force of the collis- ion, which jammed the timbers and doors of the starboard saloons and ,state- • roma, practically • and eifeetetally seal- - Int; then, from the action of the sea. Divers have found it Impossible to open these doors, even with the aid of heavy ,axes, and say that explosives must be used to liberate the dead. Examination of the exterior by the div- ers disclosed the fact that near the bridge on the starboard side, below the water- line and extending ;through the hull to the keel, there is a ragged hole; large - enough to permit the passage of a laalf a dozen men abreast. • • • GOT TWO-YEAR TERM..

As for Tivoli, he is already bending aver the apparently insensible Sam Bux- ton, '.?'lie smaller a man's nature is the more his meanness crops out. None but a coward would descend to venting Ills spleen upon a foe powerless to retaliate; but this fellow cannot re- frein from giving Sam several vicious thouelt perlutes not painful kicks, while in Italian he declares his 'hatred, 1''ach time that pointed boot comes in contact with his person Sam Buxton grits his teeth and silently registers a vow to pay back the debt with all ne- cessary interest; while Dudley, guess- ing what is taking_ place, can hardly re- frain front springing to his feet and sending that mighty fist of his against the brute's head in a way to teach hint manners. Fortunately, indeed, for Antonio the count, be does not carry this further than a few mila appiicattons of shoe - leather, else had there been s sanguin- ary scene on the spot. "Come, take hold of these men --carry them off, They will plot no more against our king!" ho cries aloud. Four others are on hand—two bend over each of the recumbent foreigners and raise their limp forms, although. those who seize upon the Canadian ath- lete puff and groan with the exertion. Beatrix does not forget that she ht's a part to play stili—alio turns upon her relative, "Uncle Antonia, what fate will come upon these unfortunate men?" she asks. "I do not know," ho replica grimly, "but the chances• for their prompt exe- cution are remarkably good, since there is not it shadow . of doubt as to their. guilt." She utters a half -shriek and clasps her handle, as if about to make some appeal for mercy, but the savoge count rudely turns his back on her. "Away with them! --the foreign doge who have dared eroes the path of an -Italian nobleman! Away to the den I have prepared for ,them, where their bones may rot and rats may be their jailers:' He waves his despotic hand—again come the grunts and groans, tie the men move away, bearing their burdens. A singular spectacle, truly—one man has hold of Sam's feet, grasping then under either arm, while the second clutches the American as wellunder the arras as he can—the seemingly „sense less man has his arum crossed, and does not look as uncomfortable as Dudley, who, to carry out the idea of helpless- ness more, has allowed his long arms to trail upon the floor. The count follows, and Frit Diavolo brings up the rear.. All of them, have apparently forgotten Beatrix, who is left alone in the strange compartment that has been decorated for the ' ery purpose it has just served. • When the men have departed she seems to throw off the cloak of dceep- tion she has worn—she flies to the door they passed through, and stands ,there etraiping her ears to catch the sounds that come along the corridor, all the while whispering to herself, in a bait fierce way: "They will not hurt a hair of his head! Let them attempt it if they dare. He saved my life, and it belongs to hien, Beatrix Paoli will even dio to defend Baron Sam! Let my uncle be- ware—he deceived me and caused me to lead this brave American into the trap; it niay yet turn and rend hint. I have heard who has been thus brought to justice. Alt! at last they reach the den he spoke of, the key to which lies in nay pocket, though my precious unelt suspects it not. Listen to him swear— the saints 'preserve us, his profanity is shocking, and may bring down the judg- ment of •TTeaven upon this house. They eaunot enter. What will they do now? Seek to place the prisoners in another room? or, merciful Heaven, murder them in cold blood. I did not think of that. They shall not harm brave Baron Sant ns long as my weak arm may come between." So whispering, this beautiful Italian flies along the passage; but ere sato has run a dozen paces she realizes that those ahead having the prisanere in charge have not gone to extreme areas- urea. They are evidently placing Sam and Dudley in some other apartment, since the one which the count has pro- vided cannot be made available. She bids in a recess until. she hears a key turned in a lock, and then mon troop by. When they aro gone, and silence comes upon this part of the house. that has once been a ducal palace, the Italiali maid creeps forward. She reaches the door opposite that Which could not be, opened o:t aceouat of the key being lost—the, key Beatrix deelaree is in her pocket. Iter cut- stretched ]land is on the knob, site means to try and see if it is fastened securely, though not doubting the to. cult, When front beyond a vele° comes to her ears—a voice that tl rills her, low its Is may be, for it is Bailin Sana who speaks, ana she eaiterly planets her ear to the keyhole to listen. "I say, Duct," sings out the Atnericen, softly. - A pruttt comes in reply. "Iii, there, old man, wake up;" pursues Sam, "C,an't—I'm dead."

Utile do they 'inspect the terrible struggle that is going on in a,hunuan mind just outside their prison door, 'where a beautiful woman grhvels upon. the floor and fights the battle of her life.

She expends the violence of her emotions, and finally arises, once more in control of herself.. Which has triumphed': - The future will tell; but it bas been a bitter struggle, end will doubtless mark her whole future life. CHAPTER XXIIt Meanwhile, during these minutes, the two comrades on the other side of that door have not been idle.. Determined to escape first of all from this roo;n, where they have been confined, their attention has naturally been bent upon the boot* as the readiest means of breaking out. Had they been placed in the den which Tivoli so carefully prepared for their re- ception, the chances are they would ex. perience double the amount Of difficulty in getting free, They can thank Bea- trix, for this, although, as yet, uncon- scious of this fact. Sam, over fertile in resources, lute come prepared and equipped for such work as this, and proceeds to pick the lock of the, door with the sang froid of a veteran cracksman. His euceese isnot as flattering as his assurance would seem to promise; the task promises to be a long one, but 'Sana is game to the backbone. He has Dud- ley hold the candle while he works the piece of wire; several times he almost succeeds, and. it spurs hint on 'to new efforts. When lie has just missed it for the seventh time, Sant withdraws the wire to give another twist to the bent por- tion. As he endeavors to insert it again he finds tate key -holo filled up.-- ba"cByk, J'ovel" he ejaculates, starting "What's wrong?"demands his torch- bearer, at once groping for the pocket holding Itis revolver. "There's a key in the lock!" says Sam, "And. ,there it turns, sure as fate!" echoes the Canadian, as a sharp click is heard. They have mechanically stepped back a pace, as though fearful left the door in flying open may come in contact with their bodies. Sam sees the revolver in the hand of McLane, and with a great chuckle goes him one better. Thus the door, already trembling in the act of being opened, is covered by. three terrible weapons, and woe to the daring foe who attempts to rush in. Now it gathers in inomentum, perhars from its own weight, and moved quickly back. A moment, during which the two men hold their breath in anticipation of what is to come, then Baron Sam utters an exclamation: "It is Beretrixl" The girl stands just beyond the portal, stands Iike a statue in her regal beauty. One could never tell from her face that sae had just fought the most tremend- ous battle of her.life—it has become na- tural again, but whether the calmness of despair or resignation, time will show. • "I have saved you some trouble, Baron Sam. The key that belongs to the den he arranged for you fits tale door, al- though he knew it not. You are free to go again, if you desire," sale says, but Sam shakes his Bead soberly, "For this kindness ewe thank you. It bas, as you say, saved us some troubles though," he continues, with a man'e belief in his own powers, "I was getting there, and would have soon succeeded; but we cannot leave this house. I came here with a distinct purpose, Miss Win- chester" --she shudders at mention of'the name—"Is under this toot, and under extraordinary circumstances. I cannot go until she.aecompanies me," His manner is that of a man positive in his convictions, and who cannot be changed, Beatrix looks at him with deepest admiration, even while, her poor heart is racked by pain. There is no comparison between these two men in appearance; one is insignificant at first sight, until his 'magnetic individuality is made manifest, the other majestic; but Beatrix estimates the worth of the man by what he can do, and in this re- spect Baron Sam towers far above his comrade. "If I eau Assist you, command me," she says, allotting her eyes to drop again, for .both men are watching the treacherous play of emotion upon her Mee, one of then' fairly devouring her with bis fervid ga.ze. "Aileen is here, am I correct in my saying?" She feels the agony of jealousy again as she notes bow pat lie hae that naive Qtr his tong'-te Aileen; a singular tattle, tom, and which Hurst become very dear to a man who madly worships the own- er.

Sam draws out a tote book and searches it. Ire dieeovers the addrese Miss Dorothy gave hint, and reads it aloud, ''That is this house—where did you get it?" "From Miss Dorothy, My anat.

Heavens! how strange that it should be the sant, and yet I had my euspieions, I had my sus ,,idions," lie mutters, more to Iiinrself than 'tor the benefit of those standing near.

" Miss Winchester will not be Ile believes alio means all she says, but doubts her ability to carry it out. Count Tivoli is not the man to be trifled with, and he plays the game of his life when he is determined to gain posses- sion of Aileen Winehester and Iter mit• lions.

The light in the hall is all we have, for Dudley, careful, :prudent Dudley, has extinguished his candle lest it be ex- hausted, and they will need, its assst- ance later. Beatrix moves forward, and the two men follow her. There is certainly a spice of romance in the atmosphere, and they can look far adventure to overtake them at any moment. The end of the corridor is reached— they have a distinct recollection of being carried down a flight. of stairs, and these now appear in front, .As'.,they are in an enemy's house, Sant and his friend think it only prudent to be ready for eines. geodes, so that each of them carries a revolver ready for immediate nae. This old Italian palace of the Paoli family will soon be aroused if these two ad; venturous spirits Prem :across the sea find that things do not suit then', At the head of than -Lairs Beatrix pauses, and holds sus a hand warningly. "Listen!" ;ler Iles seem to frame— the prettiest lips on earth, one man is bound to believe, lips that have charm- ed multitudes on account of the won- derful melody that springs front their opening, All listen with great earnestness — whatever occurred to arouse the.suepic- ions of the young girl, it does not hap- pen again. "A false alarm?" suggests Sam, softly. Poseibly so, but I know there are many under this roof who would see you die sooner than let -you escape, Baron.

"So am 1," remarks Dudley, "hut for tunately I'in not readily aroused that way --any feelings are easier touched in the other extreme, You might not be- lieve it, but I could play it lovely Romeo to your Juliet" . Beatrix agasn gives him e. ensile that is dazzling; evidentLy the Canadian giant has found a place in her regard, and but for the prier claim of Baron Sam, Dudley would have little trouble in winning her affection. He is encouraged, and determined to keep up with -the' pro- Ceeeion, ready to catch a heart on the rebound..
