When all eeemed securely quiet, Koliese unlocked the door and slipped 'cautieusly into the long corridor, the 000r of which the witch's key also opened. It moved easily, as if on greased hingee, and though a watch was set nightly all through Brae - field honse, strange to say, the ',lace seemed deserted as some ancient ruin. Quickly she linssed te the great hall door. Here she paused, feeling doubtfully of the keY. Surely it was far too small for that great lock! But on trying it she found las the witch had written) it opened all doors; --for the heave lock found herself epeccliug across the ice tourtyard.

Along the lonely way she ran, the far-off stars blinking coldly on her through the mist; the night wind touching her cheek with chill fingers, and the hazel coppice through which she passed casting weird shad- ows on her path, seeming to stretch gaunt hands to nay her, Rohese felt ae if she were shut alone in some great black chamber, where gibbering, hideous phantoms crowded near.

All was dark- uess and silence, save for the occasion- al rustle of some branch stirred by the wind. Over her head a great hawk flew heavily and slowly, sounding his warning cry as he flew, and Rohese. knowing that up there in the wide night sky W.' soul was passing out somewhere into the void, crossed her- self and murmured a prayer. Just then a dark figure seemed to spring up from the ground at her side, aad the shriek of terror which rose to her lira aas silenced by a hand elapped roughly over her mouth. "Milk -liver, wouldst draw the whole monkly pack hewling at our heels?" and the eerie face of the witch of Ely peered closely into her own.

As the lock turned a ith a rusty clang, she dragged the half -un- conscious man across the floor. and preasing hard against the turning stone,.dropped it 'behind her, and stood, in the dark, black pausage with Joce- lin at her feet. Then as she drew breath, she heard the cele,door open, and the loud exclamations of the en- tering monks. CHAPTER XXf. It was some moments ere Jocelin could stand, and by this Gine the monks within the cell, having satisfied themselves that the Oubliette was enipty, had departed to bear the news to the Abbot; Rwthard exclaiming, "The devil has spirited away Pis own," and Tristian following him, netembling thankfullY, "It is the holy saints who have rescued him." Wondertul to re- late, the Abbot received this startling lutelligence with equanimity. "Ye have done well to inform me so read- ily., iny sons," he calmly replied; and they departed wondering, to rehearse the tale in the chapter room. In Me ileart, Samson was glad of locelin's escape, ascribing it to some settee- thizer among the brethren, who, gain- ing access to the prison keys, had epitited the condemned monk away. Despite his anger at the sin, the Abbot loved tha sinner, and since Roliese's declaration regarded the monk's in- discretien more leniently. "Truly, I rejoice," he said toliimself, as he went forth to join the Abbey Advocates, whom he had assembled to dismiss his plait of confining his wantonly inclined ward in the nearby priory, that she night be unfier the. corrective influ- ence of the Prioress Rosamund, - "Yea, 'twits ever thus," he muttered apgrily, tugging at hts beard, "tithes he days of Eden 'The woman tempted ne, and I ate.'

The casting table Of a plate glass factory is about twenty feet long, fif- teen feet wide and -six inchee thick. Strips of iron on each side afford a bearing for the rollers and determine the thickness of the plate to be cast. The molten glass b poured on the table, and the roller, passing from end to end, spreads the glass to a uniform thickness. The glass after cooling l'aPs idly is traneferred to the annealing oven, where- it relnains several days. When taken out, it is very rough and uneven and in that, state is used for skylights and other purpaaes where strength is desired rather than trans- parency. The greater part of the glass, however, is ground, smoothed and pelt:died. Minard's Liniment Cures Diphtheria. Magazines On Warships.
