She said "Thank you." and took the

"Surely," replied the young man, also
tn French, and quite unmoved, "I am

Helene gripped the banrster of the
tales,
"lVno would have thought of eina

conversation in French.
"You did not expect it. of course." re

"1 will not." Helene answered. "I am

would cut his claws and draw hi teeth,
and make hmim dance at ber apron

smiling at the idea.
"You are nght, Henri." ahe said, beam

About an hour afterward Henri delir
ere 1 to (J.iayle the foiioning uote from
Helene:

lone their ready Judgment aud their pow

"The difficulty is tbe Identification of j

the fact of her death disputed. It will
be eay enough, if 1 can get ber outside I
the lines, to put a bullet through her bead
aud to say that ahe was killed by a stray
shot from the pickets, but who will prove
for me that the dead uoman is Heleue

"VeliV" said Henri, "vat you aay to

"I aay to her nothing for the present,"
was the reply. "1 have to make inquiries.
You say that she recoguiied you this

"Oh, yes." answered Henri, "an" ahe
make sheep's eyes like fci."
Here Henri gave a clownish imitation
of Heleiie's persuasive glances, with the
result that Quayle threw himself upon
his bed and roared.
"Acting is not in your line." said
Quayle, still laughing. "The only part
you could play to life would be that of
a drunken matt. You know all alsiui
him. Hilt 1 have no doulit, when the
tune comes, you will allow this wench
to do what she likes with you."
"Do vat she like?" exclaimed Henri,
with a sneer of disgust. "1 know vat
due to me. I not forget. I olivaya re
.uember Toulon."
"We will see," answered Quayle. "If
1 were to take you at your word" this
with a cruel glitter in the oblong eyes.
and the words hissed between the set
teeth "do you thiuk you would have
the nerve?"
"Nerve for vat?" exclaimed Henri.
"Nerve to pay her for the injury she
did to us. Nerve to return to her with
interest payment for our years in chains.
Nerve to strike, if necessary, a blow that
will avenge all we suffered through ber."
Henri had turned pile beneath the
olive of bis skin, and he sat on his
chair, gripping the arms wilh bis band.
His dark eyes flashed aud his brow dark
ened. At lat he roee with his face dis
torted by the evil passions which his
companion's speech bad aroused.
"1 pay out ?.at 'ouud Adiius." he said:
"an' I vill pay out xe vonian who be
tray us."
"Very welL I will send for you wheu
I am ready.
Quayle's next tp waa to again pene
trate the Union lines and have another
talk with Captain Denon. The evening
found him at Savage Station. Walter
was mider strict surgical surveillance,
and noliody was allowed to speak to
him. but tbe surgeons gave Quayle per
mission to see Denon. Denon was over
joyed when be heard that his letter bad
been delivered to Helene.
"Do you think the will come?" eh aJ(
ed. "I can't say." waa Quayle's reply.
"She has your letter. She has asked to
see me. but hitherto I bare not been
able to meet her. 1 can only aay I will
try my best."
"Miss leninre will be doubly glad to
come when she knows that Xlajor Adams
has regained consciousness and that there
i great hope of his recovery," said De
non. "The strange thing in connection
with his Improvement Is the fact that
he thinks he Is mrt Major Adains. of the
Louisiana battaliou, but eouiebody else
altogether.
Quayle stared.
"Somebody else altogether?" he asked.
"Who doea be think be Is?"
"He aaya that his name la Walter
Glaydea, and that he la the son of an
English nobleman, Ird Yorley.
If a bullet bad struck Quayle at that
moment, he could not hare started up
more excitedly. Ills face waa ashen.
"Doea the doctor think be is likely to

That night Quayle crossed the Chlcka
hominy, and cook northeasterly direr,
tion to seared for a epot where the ell
laiuoita deed he waa planning might be
safely and. effectually committed.
"It srill hare to be done near enough

forded her tar so djiag. ts nsk the Jonr
uey to the Northern ramp. She wss not
prompted by love or pity, by atfwL.uu ur
charity, hut the idea had the charts of
danger and of romance about it. She
as not a romantic woman, but ber life
had been one of very evea teoor latr'y.
aud the excitement of the reuture thrill
ed her already.
Col. A. lams had recovered ss f jr that
the doctors had given permission tn hart
liim removed ta the residence if a friend
in the eoui.try some forty or fifty miles
from Richmond, where the greater quiet,
and tbe air uudeSled by the vicinity of
Cbickahominy swampa, would hasten bis
reetoialiou to complete health and activ
ity. Tlie colonel was te be sent there on
the following day. aud Heleue waa to ac
company bim. Where au excuse is t" be
found for anything, a woman is sure to
be able to fashion one. Helene arranged
with Col. Adams to go wilh him to his
friend's residence, and then t return tn
Richmond for the purpose of superin
tending certain lmu- hold affairs. Tliete,
sue said, would occupy ahaut a week.
Adams read.ly consented. Helen had
become dearer to him every day, and
from regarding ber at a diughter, his
feeling bad change.) to an sfe-tioa of a
different kind, aud be biped and longed
for the day when he would dare to ask
her to bexmie b s wife.
Hs attentions had become more mark
ed, and Helene was glad of the oppor
tunity to escape them. The excuse of
the journey to Richmond gave her time
to go to the federal camp, and return if
her mysterious gui le nad protector con! !
so arrange. She, therefore, wrote a note
as follow s:
"1 go with the colonel to Columbia the
diy after to-morrow, and shall be fres to
meet you on Monday or Tuesday next at
oi.;- place you may appoi .t- Kindly sen I
me your instructions, and 1 will implicit
ly follow them."
She inclosed this little noe In an en
velope, and sent Sue w;tb it t the camp
to give it to Henri. The next morning
lie received the following reply, brought
to ber by Henri:
"If you cau arrange to he at Ashland
on Tuesday evening next, the 2sta in
staut, about seven o clock. I will meet
you at Crockett's tavern, and I will then
comply with your wish. Wlil you also
do me tbe favor to ask tbe colonel for
a week'a leave for the bearer ef this
note?"
Helene had no difficulty ia obtaining
the requisite permit for Henri. She did
not even mention who the soldier wat.
Adams was only too hsppy that she
should ask him for anything, no matter
v,bat. and he granted her request with
out a question of why or who.
When tbe young rrenchinsn came to
Quayle's rooms and brought bJm Helene's
reply, agreeing to meet bim at the ap
pointed place, Quayle for the first time
felt a shiver creep through him. and a
repugnance which he bad uot known be
fore chilled his blond.
"Rah!" be said to himself. "It ts not
a nice job, but it has to be done. lie-
les who knows? I may be able to
get that swe-p to do It for me. Ah! Mr.
Kodhert Berinquay." he said, "you don't
know how much nearer you sre t'v-Hsy

thin you were yesierdiy. Wheu this
job is over Dixieland will know me no
more, nor lankeelom either. It II be
'Ho, for old lingloiid!' And I shall be
glad to get back to Ixiiidon. I'll have a
bitler chance thjs time with one hundred
thousand pounds lu my pocket."
Quayle's plan was fimidishly simple.
After meeting Heleue on Tuesday even
ing at Aslilaud. a village about eighteeu
miles to the northwest of Richmond, hs
would take her southeast, outside of the
pickets of both armies, to a ruined hut
in a field not far from the UuJou lines at
Reaver IVsm creek.

of short, but very heavy, revolvers, car

filled with a powerful narcotic, which he
intended to mix with the water Helens

I'lenaant Meat Times.
Many people must have been truck
by the Utter absence of Interesting,
conversation that I no marked a fea
ture of modern meals. In the oideu
day all the wit and brightness of the
day seemed to be focussed Into the
breakfast and dinner hours, and near
ly all the celebrated Ktories of brilliant
repartee that have come down to us
were delivered during a meal. But
n6wadays people talk over their wor
ries and bothers at the table, look out
trains and read paper during break
fast and If they have got anything
disagreeable to say to another ti em
ber of the family, very often ehoosc a
meal time In which to ay It.
Somebody once suggested that ch 1-
dreu should be trained to be bright
and cheerful during meal. Just as
much as they are trained to eat prop
erly, for the one habit, like the other,
would clifi(( to them when they grow
up and make them much sought after
companions.

A warning note I struck by a lady,
who ha both medical and literary
skill, against the reckless disregard of
those law which make for beauty.
We American are growing plainer,
she avers, simply because we allow
even our children to 1m affected by the
stress and strain of modern life. The
smartness, the ability to look after
themselves and the athleticism of tbe
women and children of the present
rime spell physical ruin. Reality la
rarely seen nowaday In' Its unadorned
ttyl.-. Lovely women sre artificial
products, end renliy lovely children are
as eearee as auks' egg. The reason
la that our expression hare grown
anxious, eager, cold, our limbs and
members are strained out of shape by
nver-pxercle and our complexions and
hair are starved for lack of nerve
force. The exquisite complexion, lux
uriant locks, dellcaU feat urea and
clear. Innocent looking eyes Uiat
associates with beauty are so seldom
seen a to be quite remarkable whea
they are, and sve are threatened with
a still further decrease of these e
ment of good look unlesx we bring
back our gift to the plain and primuV
tive aiyle of upbringing, which per
il a ps after all is the best for then.
The "larger life" certainly has iu
drawbacks.
