CHAPTER XXII. THE PONIARD AGAIN. Not until a turn of the road hid me from the village and I was satisfied that I was unobserved, did I turn aside, and again sheltering myself behind a friendly hedge, gain the thicket which stretched along the ridge. Then, plunging Into Its cover, I hastened back with what speed I could toward the spot where I had left my comrade, uneasily conscious that I had lingered at the Inn longer than I had thought to do, for the sun told mo that noon had come and gone. So It was with an anxiety which Increased at every step that I broke my way through the underbrush, un heeding the briers which clutched at my clothes and stung hands and face —fin anxiety which leaped to mortal anguish as I came out suddenly into the litlo ampltheater where I had left her and saw at a glance that It was empty. I set down the hamper with a groan of agony and wiped the cold sweat from my forehead. Pool, idiot that I was to leave her unguarded for so long a time. Some one had blundered into our retreat, had dis covered her, had taken her prisoner. What could I do? Where should I look for her? Tills thicket doubtless harbored many scoundrels seeking to 3vade the draft. It was they who had captured her. and I trembled at the thought. Perhaps even at this moment— “Good day, M. de Tavernay,” called r gay voice and I turned my head mechanically, to see her emerging from the thicket, her face alight. "So you have returned.” “Thank God," I cried. "Thank God! You are safe, then?” "Safe," she repented, eyeing me a little curiously. “But certainly. What lid you imagine?" “I fenred you had been captured,” I answered hoarsely." "Carried away! No matter, since you are safe.” "I heard some ono approaching,” die explained, still eyeing me, “and de eded I would better conceal myself intll I was certain It was you. That vas wise, wasn’t it?” “Wise? Oh, yes. But I thought ! had lost you. I had stayed away so ong.” "And In truth," she went on, laugh ng again, “I am not yet quite certain hat it is really you. What a villian nis countenance.” ‘"Yes," I said, flushing. "The—the maid at the Inn fixed it for me.” "So,” she cried. "It was a maid that tept you—and pretty. I’ll be bound. l"o think that I have been worrying ibout you.” "You must be nearly starved," I ■aid, anxiou* to change the subject. "I confess alively pleasure at the explore "At once," I urged, and sat down a Ittle weakly, for [ was not yet wholly ecovered from the swift reaction from hat agony of fear. She spread upon the grass the cloth vith which the hamper was covered nd uttered little cries of delight as lie drew for Its contents and arranged hem before her. “Why, you are a wizard, M. de Ta ernayl” she cried, when the hamper '•as empty. “Here Is a feast fit for a ;ing. That maid must have fallen lesperatefy in love with you! A real lassion! Poor thing!” “I posed ns a Republican." I ex ilalned. “She Is a good patriot and inxlous to serve the Nation." "Especially when it is personified by handsome and gallant fellow." she imended. "No matter; I am not jeal •us. Indeed, I have no right to be. bit I wonder what the betrothed would ;ay Rest easy; she shall never know, promise you that. And now, if you 'ill draw the corks, we are ready to login." "I am glad to see you in such spirits," remarked with irony, as I got out my :n!fe. "It is so much pleasanter than bc ng dull and gloomy, Is it not?” she (greed. \ on remind mo oi a red Indian, continued, ns I drew the eorks, 'dancing around his captive and bury ng a barb In hts flesh from time to Imp. Just to see his anguish." "Well.” she retorted, "I am going to reat you as no red Indian ever treated i captive. Sit down and share the least.” "But I have already eaten.” I pro ested. Nevertheless I sat down in the dace she indicated. "Jlours ago!” “Besides, my fright when I found ,-ou gone killed any return of appetite." "Were you really frightened?” "Horribly!” "I know what you need—a draught if wine-” "If you will drink first." I agreed. She raised the bottle to her lips, then landed it to me. 'You were rigid.' 1 said, as I put It lown. "That was really what I Heed 'd. My heart is bounding again, though perhaps not wholly from the wine." She smiled and looked at me. “Whatever the cause, I am glad to lee you more like yourself. And now you will eat—I detest eating alone.” "I will try,” 1 said, but I confess I found eating a difficult task with that vision just across from me. "Did you learn where we were?" she asked at last. "The village Is called Dalron. We are about four leagues from Thouars, where the Blues are in force. We must get past them somehow to Cou langes, a league beyond, where we shall find friends." "And we must wait until tonight to go forward?” "Till twilight, at least.” “We should get to Coulanges tonight, then?" "Yes," I answered with a sinking heart at the thought that my drean" was to end so soon. " If all goes well we should reach Coulanges by mid night.” "You actually say that In a tone ol despondency!" "And do you see In it nothing to re gret. mademoiselle?” "To regret? Assuredly not! Shal you regret being in safety again?” "Danger is not the worst thing tha ^mmmm can come to a man.” I said, "more especially—” "Well?" she questioned tantallzlngly, as 1 hesitated. I leaned across the cloth and caught her hands and held them prisoner. “More especially when It Is shared by the woman he loves,” I concluded, throwing discretion to the winds. "Ah, then he forgets the danger, mademoi selle; he remembers only that she Is beside him, that he may look Into her eyes as I look into yours, that he may kiss her hands as I kiss these dear ones. And when he knows that to re store her to her friends is to severs himself from her, he may well despond as he sees the hour approach.” She sat looking at me, the color coming and going In her cheeks, her lips parted, her eyes a little misty. And she made no effort to take her hands away. Ah, what a woman she was! The beauty of her. the white ness, the delicacy, the sheer gTace; and what with all, a woman's passion ate heart, a women’s power of loving and desire of being loved. It was there I knew, just below the surface, wait ing to be awakened. “You really love me!” she mur , mured. "You really love me!” | “Oh, my dearest!” I cried. “Can | you doubt It? Looking into my eyes, can you doubt It? And last night, looking Into yours, I fancied that you swept aside the veil for a moment and that I saw Into your heart, your soul, and read a secret there which made me madly, blindly happy! Did I read aright?” "Not to value your devotion would be indeed ungrateful, monsieur,” she answered In a whisper. "It is not gratitude that I ask.” I broke in. "It was not gratitude that I saw! Did I read aright?" "Suppose I say yes,” she said; "what Is It you propose?” "I propose to take you and keep you,” I answered madly, drawing her toward me, my blood on fire. “You do love me—come, confess it! Look Into my eyes and tell me! I defy the whole world to take you from me nnw [" She swayed toward me for an In stant, her lips parted, her eyes swim ming in a veil of tears. I had won! I hud won! Then she drew her hands away and sat erect, a convulsive shiv er tunning through her. “And your honor?” she asked, her farfe suddenly white. "What of it? The word you have given? What of it? The vow tou have taken—what of it? And if I did love you, do you not see that it is the man of honor that I love? Do you think I could keep on loving a dishonored man—even though that dishonor were incurred for me? Do you think I could And any place In my heart for a mun unfaithful to such a vow as you have taken? No, no,— you cannot believe that—you cannot so mistake mo! I have built a temple for you In my heart—do not tell me that you are unworthy to dwell therel” I was struck dumb before her. I could find no word of answer. She was right—a hundred times right. And by the trembling which shook her I saw it was not I alone who suffered. Oh, I had been selfish to pull her down, to entangle her in this net from which there was no escaping! At least I should have been brave enough to spare her that! “Forgive me!" I groaned. "Forgive me!” and I flung myself forward at lief feet. But her arms were about me. and she raised me up and kissed me, on the, forehead, and her eyes were shin ing and her face was very pale. "Be brave!” she whispered brok enly. “Be brave, my friend! The fu ture will be brighter than you think. Oh, you are worthy to occupy that tem ple! Oh, I must—” A sudden rattle of arms and tramp of feet rose to us from the valley. “What is that?" she asked, with bated breath. I spring to my feet, went cautiously to the edge of the thicket, and looked down. A regiment was marching westward along the road by which we had come—a regiment, dusty and trav el-stained, with tri-eolored cockades in their hats and tri-colored scarfs about their necks. I watched them until they disappeared around a turn of the road. Then I rejoined my comrade. “it was a regiment of Blues,” I said. "That Is had. I had hoped to take that read Now we must take the other; but we must keep to the cover of tills thicket until we are past the village. We would better be starting now while there is light: then at dusk we can descend to the road and hasten on to Conlanges.” She was replacing the food in the hamper before I had finished. "We may need it,” she said. "You shall not risk yourself again.” She was entirely self-controlled and turned to me the old, clear friendly gaze; the emotion which had shaken her a moment before had been con quered and swept aside. What was it she had been about to say? Should I ever know? Should I ever again get past the barrier of her reserve? I thought It most unlikely, and a deep dejection descended upon my spirits. Never again would the moment be so favorable, and. beneath my breath I cursed the chance that had broken in upon our tete-a-tete. T watched her as whe slipped my shoes over her own again and fastened them. Then I took up the hamper and started. At the edge of the little glade, she paused and threw a kiss back to it. (Continued Next Week.) A Ticklish Subject. From the London Mail. A great Scotch lawyer was pleading be fore a judge with whom he was on most intimate terms. Happening to be retained for a client of the name of Tickle, he com menced his speech: “Tickle, my client, the defendant, my lord-” He was interrupted by a laugh in court. “Tickle her yourself,” said the Judge promptly. “You are as able to do so as 1 am." Whereupon the laughter Increased. How She Earned It.

JOHN DIETZ GIVES UP FIGHT WITH THE LAW Wisconsin Outlaw, After Long Battle With Officers, Surrend ers Himself. Winter, Wis., Oct. 12.—“If papa comes out will you promise not to shoot him1 He is shot through the hand and wants ta surrender.” These words spoken to Sher iff Mike Madden at the endge of the clear ing surrounding the besieged home by lit tle Helen, youngest daughter of John F. Dietz, brought to an end Saturday after noon the stubborn resistance of the man whose stand for the last six years against what he considered injustice has attracted widespread interest. The surrender did not come, however, without death and bloodshed. One man is dead, five men and a woman are wounded and much property has been destroyed. The dead: OSCAR HARP, 25 years old, deputy sheriff. The Injured: John F. Dietz, aged 49, defender of Canv eron dam, shot through the hand. Chet Colepuch, aged 35, deputy, right ear shot off. Leslie Dietz, Injured in hip. Clarence Dietz, shot through arm. Myra Dietz, shot through the body; will recover. The last two nanied, children of John Dietz, were shot the previous week by deputies. Bullet Hole in Head. Harp was found on a hill beyond the Dietz cabin with a bullet hole In his head. He, with Mont Wiley, Thomas Pomerlo and William Rankin, all deputies, had tried to crawl to a place of vantage In the lumber piles near the Ditz barn when a well directed bullet caught him. Accord ing to Wiley three bullets whistled through the air at about the same time and one*of them struck Harp. The other deputies retreated without trying to rescue their comrade. He was found at 3:30 o’clock and had been dead about three hmirft Dltz was not wounded during the morn ing fusillade, as had been supposed. His drop to the ground was merely a ruse to fool the deputies. He was injured, how ever, while firing from the barn during the afternoon when a bullet went through a crack and passed through his left hand. Dietz denied that the wound caused him to surrender. To Father Joseph PItion, the priest, who was largely Instrumental in' bringing the long drawn out contest to a close, he whispered that a baby was about to be born to Ills wife and he feared that both |She and the infant might die. Little Girli Approaches. The surrender of Dietz was very dra matic. The alert lumbermen, leaning on their rifles at the edge of the clearing and gazing intently at the windows of the log cabin, suddenly saw the flutter of a white handkerchief at the door. Then little Helen appeared and advancing with the cloth over her head walked to the edge of the clearing, where sho announced that her father was willing to surrender. A short consultation followed between the sheriff and his deputies, and Deputy Heffelflnger volunteered to go back with the girl. In the meantime Father PItion, in his eagerness to bring the combat to an end, had started running toward the cabin. He waived a handkerchief as he ran and unhesitatingly entered the door. When Heffelflnger got half way the priest was returning. He did not stop, but hur ried to meet the sheriff. Priest as Intercessor. **Dietz will surrender,” said the priest, J*but he wants a doctor to dress his wounds and ho desires to talk with the newspaper men.” “I won’t trust him,” said the sheriff. “If he wants to surrender let him come out with his hands over his head.” Sheriff Madden refused to go to the cab in and kept behind a tree. Deputies Thornbahn, Sully, Heffelflnger and Dr. D. G. F. Grofton, of Sayward, went to the cabin, dressed Dietz's wound, handcuffed him and Leslie brought them out. Dietz’s left hand was in a sling and he was smil ing and spoke cheerfully to the newspaper men. He posed for several pictures. “Why didn't you give In when assured of a fair trial by the attorney general?” he was asked. “They kept on changing their plans,” he replied, “and I did not know what I could depend upon. Besides, we thought we could have lasted it out, and we could have but for the little baby we expected. I am now glad it is over. We have lived all right. You might go into the house, though, and see what we have to stand.” J. C. Davis, district attorney of Sawyer county, said there were enough warrants out against Dietz to send him to prison for the rest of his life if he was convicted. ROAD EXTORTS MONEY FOR HAULING VICTIMS McKinley System Gets Cash for Carrying Home Dead Bodies of Persons. St. Louis, Mo., Oct. 12.—George L. Huntin, Pullman conductor, or 1463 Blaokstone ave., complains because, he says, It cost him $71 to have his wife's body brought back to St, Louis after she had been killed In the McKinley Interurban line wreck at Staunton, 111.

Tho censorship at Lisbon has been relaxed somewhat, and dispatches are (oming more freely today from the scene of the revolution. All confirm earlier reports that the revolutionists are in complete control of the capital, and ; that the infant republic is making ! progress. The republic also has been firoclaimed at many points in the prov nces. Three regiments of infantry from the country districts reached Lisbon today and joined the revolutionist. The causalties in the recent fighting are placed at 3,000. King Manuel is the guest of Great Britain. He re mains on board the imperial yatch ^meHa, which arrived off Gibraltar ist night. The British officials paid visits of respect to the Portuguese monarch today and surrounded his yacht with patrol boats to safeguard the royal family. There are rumors of fighting between loyalists and revolutionists at Sctubal, and some anxiety is felt lest a civil war develop in northern Portugal, where the monarchy has a stronger hold on the people. , Bernardo Machado, minister of for eign affairs of the provisional govern ment of Portugal, cabled today to the Associated Press, at the request of Provisional President Braga, announc ing that order had been restored at Lisbon, and that the new republican government will immediately organize general reforms in the general inter est of all the people.
