must come In with me."
II* obeyed, moving slowly and with
pain; she did not offer him help from

th* colonel, bland a* ever, and looking

"I'erhaps," said the colonel, "Cap'

f; on the fatigue of hi* gallant struggle
against superior numbers?"
Dick followed 'Aim upstair*. but
stopped short at the top of the first
flight.
"I have a letter to deliver." he r»
p ited In a tone of helpless obstinacy;
"It will be too late,"
"If you will Intruat It to me," replied
the colonel, "I will send It directly; the
carriage Is still at the door."
They reached a room upon the floor
above, where M. de Montaut left hi*
gee*! In charge of a valet and returned
downstairs with the letter In his hand.
At the drawing-roots, door he found Ca

"Your wish Is In Itself a reason mor<

A quarter of an hour after hi* de

and pleased to See him looking so llt

"Oh"' cried th« colonel. Interrupting
"do not think twice about ll; conven*

I of ours "
The surgeon looked relieved, and
[ went away promising to return the
I same evening,
Camilla for herself approved the ar
rangement made by her brother-in-law,
but ah** was at the same time surpris'd
• ill II. I to bad not only spoken of Dick.
with Whom be was In no way intimate,
; as "a valued friend"—that was, |e-r
list**, only a piece of his habitual po
liteness but be bed also readily en
fered Into a plan which did In fact In
volve a considerable Inconvenlenee, and
. thla wua by no means so usual a thing
for him. At least, be always Imd a
personal motive for such acts, and she
was at a loss to see an adequate otic
here; for the dlffh ulty which he had
thus brought upon himself was no sllgut
•me. The patient had been taken from
the drawing-room Iqto a spare-room
adjoining It on the same floor, and
separated from It only by a partition
wall of slight construction, through
which the Hound of conversation was by
no means Inaudible. Now, It happened
by ill fortum that on this very evening
matters were to he spoken of In that
drawing-room which must not be ov»
heard by any living ear. The meeting
was one which could not be postponed,
and no other room In the house was
suitable for It, for It was to be In ap
pearance a merely aortal gathering.
And all this the colonel knew as well
as she did.
As they sat at dinner she alluded to
the question while the servants were
absent from lh» room.
"Yes." milled M de VtoMtaut. "It Is
unfortunate, but It would be Inhuman
to move our poor friend; hla aafety may
depend on hla remaining quiet."
"On hla remaining quiet!" aald Ca
milla. "Our aafety will certainly depend
on that. If he doe* overhear ua."
"Kh bien, then we will remain quiet.”
"It will be bla duty to Inform agalnat
ua,' 'ahe replied.
"A* an officer, true," aald her compan
ion. cooly; "but on thla occaalon the
gallant captain will not fulfill that duty,
for he hua another more Imperative."
Hhe looked at him In doubt.
"The duty, I mean, of a loyal cheva
lier."
"I know him better!" waa the exclam
ation on her llpa, hut ahe checked It.
and healtated for an anawer.
"In reality,” he aald, "we need fear
no auoh complication. I have Juat recol
lected that the doctor aald he Intended
to give hla patient n composing draught
at an early hour thla evening, ao he will
hear no treason after all.”
"You arc aure?” she naked; "sure, I
mean, that he will give it, and that It
will he effectual?”
"1 will sec to It myaelf, If you wlah,"
he refilled; "hut t am aurprloed to find
you so apprehensive for our security.
You used to think no risk too great to
run for the good cause "
"In that.” she aald. hotly, "I shall
never change; It Is not that t am luke
warm. a# you will see tonight!"
He bowed, and row* from the table to
open the door for her. Before they had
been In the drawing-room half an hour
the surgeon returned. He brought with
him the sleeping druught,
"That la a good Idea of your*." said
Camilla, aa lie produced II
"To Colonel de Montaut belongs the
credit of suggesting It." was the reply.
"Iteally'"' she said; "f should riot have
suspected that.”
The colon*I looked a little confused.
Within five minutes of Die doctor's
d* parture the bell rang twice In rapid
sin • easlort. and three gentlemen were
ushered Into the drawing room, where

Mr Holmes shook his liesd In sulky
silence. The Comte de Kat'odanges ex*
claimed, fiercely, "It Is loo Mil' ll to «*•
pert; the <-gl does not offer her paw a
second time!"
During this altercation Camilla had
»at silent, hut with growing Impatience;
er eyea flashed and her cheeks wer#
ry red. The colonel, always ready to
■irn the force of others to account for
fils own purj*<#e, hastened to give the
final Impulse to her pent-up Indigna
tion He looked at her, and raised his
shoulders snd eyebrows In a gesture of
leslgnatlon
"You!" she cried; "you too despair at
the eleventh hour? What do these
doubts and recrimination* mean? Do
none of you any more rsmemler the
grea'nesa of the cause you serve?
Hav you begun to forget the emper
or?"
As the lightning of tills word dashed
upon them her hearers stalled violent
ly
"Ah'" she went on, with uulckenltig
breath, "there Is magi'- In the name!
If Is perhaps because you whisper it
so seldom that It has 'eased of late to
stir you; let us b<- bolder In speech and
braver In action!"
"Madame," replied &l Carnar, depre
catingly, and with a how of genulnr ad
miration. "your enthusiasm Is heroic,
hut It is not prudent; the boldness that
you preach is likely to bring discomfi
ture upon us all."
"Discomfiture!" she cried with ringing
scorn. "What, then, d'S'S the timidity
you practice bring upon the emperor? j
Are we to preserve our own freedom at j
the price of his captivity, and amid the j
luxury of a great capital to shut our :
eyes to the misery of his exile on a lone- ‘
ly rock unfit for human habitation?” |
There was an awkward silence. After <
a moment's pause she went on again In
a more pleading tone.
"lo-t us for an instant look hack,” i
she said earnestly, "upon the splendor j
of his past career, and then consider to
what the raneor of his enemies has !
brought him. The man of action, for j
whose deeds Kurope was not wide (
enough, confined within » circuit, of .1
dozen miles! The man of genius re
fused even the companionship of his '
b**t-loved book*! The commander or 1
armies w!th but a pair of lackeys at bis ]
call; the maker and dethroner of kina*
denied hi* royal title! l)o you not j
know," ahe cried, and her voice rang
deep again with anger, "do you not
know ttiut his house is but a motderlrig
Jail, and Ills allowance a prisoner's pit
tance'.’ Himself the most magnificently
generoua of men, he has been driven by
sordid necessity to melt bis plate; he
suffers In health, he I* In danger. Jie -
Just heaven! from the Inaplratlon of
whose life we drew the spirit that aril- j
males our own!”
•'Well Spoken!" cried the colonel,
skillfully following up the advantage
she had gained for him; "well spoken! ,
And all that we then had shall soon be
ours again; Is It not worth one more
effort my friends?”
"It Is, Indeed." murmured M. f'arnac, ;
with a sigh. The Comte de Rabodange*
grumbled, “If only It were the Iasi "
Mr. Holnu-s settled himself In his chair
"Well," he said, bluntly, "let'a hear
your plan, If you've got one."
The colonel untied hi* bundle of
paper* and spread them out upon the
table In front of him.

A .tain Wall street light went hi
Washington not long ago ami there
discovered a game which has since
been Introduced on the street with
great success. There Is plenty of ex
citement in playing it, and It Is abso
lutely holiest.
The electric fun is the means by
which the game Is played. Horne of
the fans have only four blades, others
have live and six blades. The six
blade fans are the most |*>pular, even
when there are only four players.
The Electric Fun (lame.
A number Is pasted ui*ou each blade
and then the player* chip In a dollar
each. A lever at the hack of the fan
sets the blades whirling around at
lightning speed, and then the current
Is shut olT. The fan whirls slower and
slower until It gradually comes to a
atop. The winning blade Is the one
which stops nearest to the wire at the
bottom of tint fan. and the holder of
the dnpllente number to that on the
blade scoop* In the pot.
The usual stake Is $1 on each blade,

on which way the bean will Jump.
The players of this game enter their
beans Just as horse-owners do for •
sweep-stakes. The beau is the little
South American affair with a tiny
worm Inside. 'I he squirming of the
worm makes the beau Jump one way
or the other. The Isom with the live
liest worm stands I he best chance of
winning, as it goes Hover the most
ground.
The game is played in this way: A
circle iilsiiit an iuth in diameter Is i
drawn In the center of a large sheet j
of while paper. Another circle, 0 1
inches away from the other, Is drawn, j
The big outside circle Is then the
starting line and the little circle Is j
the finish. The bean that lands Inside
the small circle Hrat Is the winner.
It costs $'! to enter a bean In this race
but when two beaus are making altont
equal headway for the small circle big
bets are often made as to which will
win. If the bean Jumps the wrong
way and Insists upon going In su
opposite direction to the small circle,
the owner can lift him back to the
starling line. Hut no beau can tie
touched after If has once started In
the right direction.
Another form of pool gambling
which is the favorite system among
the Wall street men, ns there Is a
change of a big winning for a small
Investment, is on the number of
slut res that will be dealt In during the
day. Kn< It chance costs a dollar, and
Hometlu es there Is ss much as #300
In the pot. The winner of lids feols
that ho has done a pretty good day's
business.
Since Hie advent of the bicycle
craze many of the brokers have taken
to riding Iho wheel, and now they buy
their wheels on the gambling plan.
This scheme Is not confined to Wall
street alone, but It lias attained the |
height of its popularity there. This I
Is the way they do It.
A cloth bag Is tilled with slips of i
paper numbered from 1 to 150. A man
thrusts in bis hand and pulls out a
number. If the number Is 1, he pays
le Into the fund. If he be unfortu
nate and pulls out the 150 number, he
chips in $1.5o. When all the numbers
bine been polled out, the bag Is again I
filled with slips numbered In the same
way. A number Is then drawn out.
and the man who holds the duplicate \
wins the total, which Is big enough I
to buy a first-class wheel. The chance |
of winning is rut her remote, being 1
