Some of the Italians can be heard chattering like magpies. The Tight luckily has not gone out, so that the inmates of the compartment can see. Dudley springs to the door, but it ie locked. He is about to exert ltis powerful muscular force upon it, and wrench it open, when Sam does the ittsiest thing possible, slides the win- dow intty the recess provided for it, af- ter which he pokes his head beyond. Light and moving figures are seen. The train must have emptied itself quickly to have thrown so many men upon the ground. Perhaps they have clambered out through the windows, for , when seized, with fear men do not halt to consider which way they Anal make progress. Even a boy has been known to drop front the top of a high tree in about the sixteenth part of it second, when the harsh yoice of the oivner, climbing the foam near by, grates min- ouely upon his tympanum.

The advice is good, and IfeLane's first notion is to feel for his revolver. Seinehow the touch of that faithful friend gives him new assurance in an einergeney like this, for it has stood by him on many occasions when death hovered near, and 'zealous foes sought to down him. They find the road rather rough, but manage to mount upward.

As they climb higher, a backward - look reveals a strange scene In the val- ley. Lights flash to and fro, proceed- ing from the wrecked train, and those who have gathered around it. The hiss- ing of escaping steam is plainly beard from the point where the crushed motor lies on its side. Weird indeed does this spectacle appear, and several times the young Canadian turns` to look back at it as they pass up the elevation. Now the walla of the castle loom over them, distinctly outlined against a back- ground of moonlit oky. It is at least a massive ebuilding, and might call forth exclamations of delight if seen from the train, perched as it is upon a eraggy eminence, and with a full sweep of the valley below. • The count liad been entertaining them while en route with stories of the prince's great popularity among the people. According to his idea, the other is one of the foremost men in Italy. "He has levied a duty on hundreds - hie rent rolls are enormous and yet he lives in the strangest style imaginable. My opinion is that all this tomes of his being it bachelor," -with a laugh, as' though the- joke is upon himself. Dudley McLane wonders whether there is anything beneath the words, and then calls himself it fool for enter- taining such an idea. They draw near the entrance of the ancient pile of rims; onry. Others come into view hearing lights, all of them men.

Gold is generally looked on as the last word in costliness, but, as a mat- ter of fact, there are more metals dearer than gold than there are cheap- er. The number of known metals is about 70. Iridium, for instance, of which a big find was made the other day in Austria, is three times as expensive as gold. Osmium is another metal much dearer than gold. It costs about $48 an ounce. It is by far the heaviest of all known substances, being more tLan 22 times heavier than water. This metal has the peculiar property of being able to stand without melt- ing the most intense heat known. Palladium -about $40 an ounce -is just the reverse.
