fortunate circumstance.
"And Illalse de Lorgnac, seigneur of
Korgnac of Tully. and Malc?.leux, knight of
the King's Order. Is a man of honor."
I put my hand on his shoulder and ho
another word 1 followed him. We left the:
I'avlllon tlu Hoy without notice and then
went down the long corridors that led to
tho apartments of the dauphin. Ileyond
there lay those of his wife. Mary of Scot '
land, the "little ciueen." as she was mile'.
, During all thl time we exchanged no
word together, until at last we stopped be
fore a door and the boy turned to me.
"The queen's apartments." he said: "You
are free to pass. 1 remain on guard here."
So saying, l,e drew hla little sword and
pointed with It at the door.
There were three people In the room--one
was Mary of Scotland, standing near n
table: the other was du l.orgnac. booted
nnd spurred as If for n long Journey, ami , chapeau House with Chantonnay
the third was a young woman, a tan young thCre made our bargain with him

unfortunate In losing things. You recog- j
nUe this? You lost It today, or thin aft- ,

showed It to her. l.orgnac was looking'
at me In blank amaze, but as for the girl
She made no answer, but stood there, white ,

the kerchief I put It bforc me and began "Madame' All that-"
to reflect. Hut she Interrupted me
"Enflti! 1 exclaimed, speaking my
thought, aloud. "Why not look at that
tl!hr!ruun. I hud rccocn led It nt ouce.
Tho man In the room above me was Hum
tonnay. the Spanish amb;isador to Prance.
lu a moment my megrims vanished I
flt that there was something here worth
trylng Into, and ihit perhaps the poor gen
tleman of the Queny. the king's Jester,
nnd the grandee of Spain, might have an
other rubber to piny against each othcr
e bad played one once before.
I determined to wait. Fortunately. 1 had
raid my score, and was at liberty to slny
nil night where I was If r listed. Fortun
ately, also, there was an execution tha
venlDg at the place Maubert. which had
drawn alt the population of the students'
ijuarter to tbe other end of the rlty. nnd
tint for my gentleman upstairs and myself
tielow there were, as I thought, no other
puests In the Chapeau House.
Aboil' an hour put tied and It iiecame uusk
'Thrn. to, my surprise, three figures ap
peared at the ilcnr of the Inn. otic was the
innkeeper, the other was Chantonnay, and
the third was k lady, closely veiled. Her
leaturcs were not distinguishable, but under
'her cloak there seemed to be n tall nnd
graceful flgute, alid tbe foot and ankle I
litm a Judge of these mullets left no doubt
to my mind that the lady was young and
'probably handsome.
Monsieur put something In mine host's
.hand, who bowed to the ground, nnd. giving
ths arm to his fair companion, they both
left tho Inn together.
' "Hoi hoi" I laughed under my breath.
'At his age. too! St. Siege! Hut he has
pretty tnste." .
Aud, hnlf-laughlng. half-dlsgusted with
(myself for having wasted my time. I
Irmerged from my lair and. exchanging wmo
light words of badinage with the Innkeeper,
1 also left the Chapeau Rouse and hastened
Tiomewnrd.
I took the road hy tho barrier, outside the
'tnott of St. riermaln. but It was not until I
"reached St. Tcter'a ehancl that I saw my
Hurtle doves once more. They were pressing
mn toward the river, but uo longer arm In
arm.
At the quay the pair stopped and ex
changed some earnest words together, tlu
Spaniard once laying his bund on the lady's
fehouldcr, as If to emphnMze what he was
taying. Finally Chantonnay sounded a low
vhUtln and after a moment's delay two
other figures, emerging from the darkness,
Joined my pair. Chantonnay appeared to
five them some orders, and then, bowing to
he lady, he turned sharply around and
began to w alk back In my direct Inn. At
the time I was standing in the shadow of
ome piles of wood I slipped around ties-
k he came near ami let Cliantonimy pass,
hloh ho did at n round pace though once
Jie stopped, and. striking the palms of his
hands together, laughed low. cackling
iaugh to himself.
"Every man his own way of wooing," 1
muttered, and when he hail disappeared
t-ootlnurd my route. The lady had gone
ttralght on toward the river with the two
wu who had Joined her when Chantonnay
left and my way lay In the same direction.
IAs I pasfcil the spot where the couple parted
something white lying on the roadway
caught my eye. I picked It up and found
it waft a delicate lace kerchief. I handled
it for a moment. In one corner thoro ap
peared to be n monogram, or crest, but It
aa too dark to see; so, thrusting It Into my
rest pocket. 1 pursued my way.
paring this I had a little time to reflect
nd, considering all things. I was almost
forced to the conclusion that It was not
ulte. a love affair my don was engaged in,
nd then somehow I began to think of my
eld friend, lllaso do I.arguac. Ills power
pf rnpld action would lmc been much to mo
now, 1 1 was he and I together who hail
'l.orgnac hero
this kerchief."
She began to ton now and crv The tears
were tchI enough this time and 1 believe
she would have fallen had not l.orgnac
supported her.
"Uc nesme! Ue Ursine!" he said, his
tender heart melting. "Hcniemhcr she Is
h womnn."
'Yes. and 1 want her to icmcmber it too
tells me thaj you know of the object of his Mndemolsellc. you arc young und strong
kerchief? (There are n. thousand chances
to one that It belongs to someone you
never knew or heard of. In which case
there will be no harm. On the other hand.
If It does belong to someone you know It
might give a clue to a somewhat mysterious
nffnlr. It seems to me that stilted notlonj
coming to Paris.
"Yes, madamr!" And. In spite of myself,
my voice hardened.
She saw the change and looked nt me In
pitiful entreaty. "Monsieur. 1 do not speak
to you ft queen, but ns a woman"
" h' madame' Say not n word more'"
I burst out. '".My llfo Is yours'" And as
und beautiful too beautiful for the rack.
"O. have pity have pity" she gasped,
-a twill' I ntiihexiil utt rwitn

be. an Idiot as well as a fool to miss your
chance."
With this I hold up tho pretty lace thing
and It fell In a light, loose fold In my
hand. I swear If It had not been for Chan
tonnay I would have troubled no more
about the matter, but as It was. I seemed
to hear that low cackle of his. a presenti
ment of evil to come seized me. and with
out tnore ado I spiead out tho kerchief and
examined It cnicfully.
It whs, as I have (ald. of lace. It was
scented with musk and In one corner was
an embroidered O and nothing more. There
was no crest and I could make nothing of it.
Amidst the galaxy of fair dames at the
court I could think of no one whose name
bore this Initial and there was no crest to
srvo as a pointer. Some little bourqcolse.
after all! A vulgar Intrigue! Half-uncon-sclously
1 put the bit of lace In my pocket,
and, picking up my lute, made by way to
the 'I'avlllon du Roy. with I'ompou at my
heels.
I was far from easv in my mind. This
affair of l.orgnac's was bad and If discovered
meant tho scnltold for my friend. There
was yet another thing that moved mc pow
erfully and perhaps those who read may
guess what It was. She Is dead and gone

lorgnac come back, I know, and n mo
ment after wo had clasped hands In warm
greeting.
"You are well?" I asked, looking Into his
eye.s.
"As ever,' he smiled back at me.
Making I.orgliao be seated. I pulled nut
eome wlno and bade him give me 'he news tnnnay at the far end of the room, making
wns thero, too. em! Madam DUi'c In eon
verso with the sickly young iVuphln, but
Mary of Scotland was not, there, nor wns
Chantonnay. 1 peered Into the leaving
throng in the hope of bcelng l.orgnac,
though he had said ho would not be there,
and then I suddenly caught sight of Chan,'
of the war,
In the excitement of the moment and our
jneotlng I had no opportunity to peal; about
ray adventure of the evening, but at last
some allusion was made to Chantonnay and
3 told him the story. As 1 finished I pulled
the kerchief from my vest pocket nnd threw
U on tho table. "Here." 1 said. "Is thfl
toy I picked up - and now to look at the
'crest and the monogram. It fhould tell us
irbo she !s '
I stretched out my hand, but l.orgnac
fss before inc. "No no! this Is not j"our
vay or mine, de neme. Why ithould wo
'pry Into a woman's secrets?"
"You forget I am La Foulne tbo ferret
and the secret Is Chantonnay's as well
as hers."
He hesitated for a moment, and then. In
sisting on his point, "Even so! Let It be.
old friend."
"Ah you will, Sir Auudls of Gaul!" I
replied, a little petulantly, putting the ker
chief aside, adding, "but I will make my
Spaniard danco tonight at the mask. You
n, of course, coming?"
"No. I leave ParU at dawn for Mar
lenrourg." "Where Conde. they say, lies III?"
"Ill, yen but not with tho fever. I was
,taken tbat way once, but that Is over
thank God! And, do Hesme." Here he rose
from his sent and began to pace the room,
as he continued, "Nothing would satisfy
the prince hut that 1 should ride to PnrU
fo her our queen-and rldo hack and tell
him 1 had done so. I wrs not to exchange
a word. On my faith as a gentleman I
thore no message."
"And you have aeen her--thc queen of
Scotland?"
"Tea Bu she saw me, too: It was on
tbe ladles' terrace that we met."
"Alone?"
"No! One of her trewonnn was wth
his way slowly toward the king
Perhaps chanco might give me the op
poitunlty of touching him on the raw. I
moved forward, loo, rcuchlng the dais a
trifle before tho Spaniard, whi was n little
Impeded by the crowd, and without looking
at the king began to put Pompon through
his performance. The ape was almost
human In his Intelligence nnd a croiyt.soon
gathered around us.
As Cljunlounay approached I made Pompon
walk gravely up to the king anil salute him.
"The high nnd mighty slcur Pompon, am-
bastador from Harbary, deslrci. audience of
your majesty."
"An honor that 1, too, claim In the name
of the most catholic king, my master," said
a haughty voice bcsldo me, as Chantonnay
stepped up to tho king. And then there
was a suppressed titter, for Pompon turned
sharply around on the Spaniard nnd begnn
to Jlbbor angrily at him.
"My nmbnssadol Is explaining to mon
selgncur hero that he claims precedence." I
went on. not heeding tho don's black looks,
but the king turned to me angrily.
"Peace! And a truce nf your Ill-timed
Jens." And liien to Chantonnay: "Mon
seigneur' It Is always a pleasure to hear
from my cousin from Spain. You will have
your audlencn with the morning. We hunt
In Fontalnehleau tomorrow. Will you uc
company us?"
ChatiloniiH) expressed his thanks and then
begyed permUslon to retire, as ho had to
complete a memorial he said he would
present to his majesty In th" morning a
memorial, as he raid, ol vital fmport to the
peace ami good will of two nations,
Wril he was thus expressing himself In
pompous phrase I pretended to depart with
Pompon' In a huff, secretly, however, re
joiced at hnving been able to vent some of
my spleeu on ui) old cueiny, I sained ray
I spoke the girl at the window burst out
Into fresh weeping.
"Tell me." I said, turning to de l.org
nac. "what has happened. We waste time
In talking If there Is serious business
afoot."
"The letter I spoke of Is lost."
"Who loot It? You?"
He laughed harshly. "No! It was
given by her highness to Mile. Odou there
to deliver to me In the ga.-den below the
ladles' terrace, and the short of It Is that
the letter Is gene."
In a Hash It nil i-iimo to me, and I thanked
God In my heart that I hnd looked nt the
'kerchief. Tho O stood for Odou. I could
swear It. I looked nt the girl. She had
censed weeping as De l.orgnac spokn, nnd
wns looking nt him with n flushed fnee nnd
dry eyes. There wns not n tear In those
bold black orbs. I knew the type. She
was Arleslenne, nnd ns I looked at the
straight dark brows nnd full, passionate
mouth I understood the nature I had to
deal with. All this went through my brnln
like lightning ns, turning to her, I said:
"Will mademoisello tell me -how It was
sho lost this letter?"
"Sit down, Odou!" said Mary, kindly.
"Sit down and tell us all you know."
t This brought on n fresh burst of sobbing
ns mademoiselle sank'on to n tabouret, and
began to rub her eyes with another little
square of embroidery, which appeared
uncommonly like my find.
"Traitress!" I muttered under my breath,
but to her, "And tell us of the letter."
"I 1 lost It In the garden," she began.
ami then, nesitntlng, went on with an
cftort. "It was ncur the oak toward the rid
ing school."
"non! Now, mademoiselle! You will
please accompany M. do l.orgnac and my
self, and show us the spot whoro you
missed the letter come!"
"Is this all you can do?" said Mary, with
n ring of despair In her voice.
"Rejt assured, madam." 1 said, "that
we will trace your letter come, mademoi
selle!" "What good would it be?" Slu- begnn
pettishly, but I Interrupted her, seeing Into
her plan to delay matters.
"It Is 'gone compline and time we were
away." and. leaning forward. I whispered,
"for your own sake come."
The shot told. She glanced nt me anil
then turned aside, red to her neck, and
her hands began in tremble, but she made
no further attempt nt parley, anil of her
own accord now led the way, I.orgnnc fol
lowing her.
A minute later we were on the ladles!
terrace nnd crossing It descended the gal
lery that led to the garden. It was broad
moonlight, so bright and clear that one
might have read a scroll hy It. As we
went on we looked hither and thither, but
saw no trace of the lost letter. What was
passing In the tiro woman's mind I know
not, as for me the puzzle was whether
mademoiselle had the letter or not. If she
hail delivered It to the Spnnlnrd the mat
ter wa? over, whatever revenge we might
afterward tnke, but I had ray doubts about
' this and If she had It still there was our I
chance.
We had a little distance to go. but at
!nat came close to the dnrk, solid outline I
of the aid oak and l.orgnac turned to
mademoiselle.
"It was here we mei. madamolscllc, and !
you said you lost the letter."
"Hum!" I said, "A most curious loss'" I
And there was a note In my voice thai j
could not be mistaken. j
"Yes." she answered hotly. "I did lotn
It. II must have dropped somewhnre here."
nnd then, with a sudden gU9t of southern
anger, "Messieurs! I like not your manner
of (.peech and 1 know not why I should
be draggel here like this. The letter Is
gone ami I have lost It. J own to It. It
wat an si-ddent. It slipped from my pocket
we all stood gazing at each other. The
little cloud hnd darkened the moon, so that
for n moment I could not see the girl's
face, half covered with one hand, while the
other was clutching at her neck. She was
fighting with herself; a hundred emotions
were at play within her. Hut I was sure
of my game now and at last the end came.
".Mademoiselle, tho cloud has nearly
passed. Give mo the letter and you are
safe. If not "
With a low cry she thrust her hand
Into the bosom of her dress, and pulling
out the letter, handed It to me. with a
whispered "Tnke It." nnd ns my fingers
closed over It, I heard Lorgnac's deep
'.'Thank God!"
We returned as we had come, and re.
gained the queen's apartment As we
entered she camo running to meet us.
"The letter!" she cried.
"Madam!" And 1 placed It In her hands
She looked at us two for a moment
mademoiselle had stayed In the anteroom
and she wns about to hand the letter to
De l.orgnac, when he pointed to Uie tail
wax candles that burned on the table.
"Mndam," he snld. "there Is a fire
there and it leaves no trace." She made
no answer, but held tho letter over the
candle, and ns It leaped into flame, cast It
into the fireplace, where It burnt to u cln-

been cited. When the water Is poured
Into the tube It unites with the water In
the cask, and the depth of tho water Is
several times as great as It was In the
ensk alone. The fact that there Is only a
small quantity of watyr In the tube makes
no difference, for It fr now all one bod.
nnd Its depth Is gauged mini tho top of
the tube to the bottom of the cask.
As a matter of fact, this experiment Is
only an artlllcial reproduction of what we
know takes place In nature. Some of her
greatest convulsions are caused by tills
verv process Suppose, for example, that
theru Is a great mass of rock, under which
there Is n cavity filled with water that lins
no outlet. Suppose, moreover, tnnt mere
Is u crack extending from the surface ot
the ground through this mnss of rock to
in uiiter.flUti! cavity underneath.
A rock lu this condition Is a common
thing In nnture. the crack being caused by
ome disturbance of the earth, or b. It
splitting In the nntural order of things.
Now. when It rains enough to fill that
crock, thus Increasing the depth of water
In the cavitv. the pressure will become so
gteat that ihe rock will be torn Into 1W
fragments.

THUtoba, Miss., April 5, 1900.
I hive ustd your Wine of Cardul and hive found it all you claimed in taking me ulely through th
change of life. I have recommended it to all my friendi. You may refer people t me, for I cannot My
enoueh in its praie. I also used Thedford'a Blaclc-Draoght at the same ime and it is splendid for tbe liver
uriwnstipatebowels. Mn. N. F. BOWEN.
You may pass through the change of Ufa without distress. The great
trouble is women do not prepare for this transition. When a woman
allows menstrual irregularities to run all her life she pays the penalty at
the turn of life and it is severe. You need not pay that penalty. If you
are nearincj the age of 43, get a bottle of
WINEofCARDUI
and beoin taking three doses a day, according to directions. This medi
cine will regulate the menses and stop the dreadful drains which under
mine womanly health. It enables a woman to pass through this change
to a beautiful and healthy old age. Do not allow the change of life to
come upon you when you are suffering. If you do, you will find an early
grave. Isn't it better to safeguard your health by taking Wine of CarduiV
'Wine of Cardul is a good medicine,
