Now,” •eating herself lightly on the low wall of the giant rampart, “tell me all you have learned about this Black Seigneur." The marquis considered; with cer tain reservations obeyed. At the con- j elusion of his narrative, she spoke no ' word and be turned to her Inquiring- . ly. Her brows were knit; her eyes down-bent. A moment he regarded her in silence; then she looked up at him suddenly. “1 wonder,” she said, her face bathed in the moonlight, “if—if it was this Black Seigneur I danced with?” “The Black Seigneur?" My lord started; frowned. "Nonsense! What an absurd fancy! He would not have dared!" "True," said the girl quickly. “You are right, my lord. It is absurd. He would not have dared.” CHAPTER VII. A Distant Menace. But guests come and guests go; pastimes draw to a close, and the hour arrives when the curtain falls on the masque. The friends of my lady, however reluctantly, were obliged at last to forgo further holi day-making, depart from the Mount, and return to the court. An imposing cavalcade, gleaming in crimson and gold, they wended down the dark rock; laughing ladies, pranked-out cavaliers who wared their perfumed hands with farewell kisses to the grim stronghold in the desert, late their palace of pleasure, and to the young mistress thereof. “Good-by, £1180!** The marquis was last to go. “Good-by.“ He took her hand; held it to his Ups. On the whole, he was not Ul pleased. His wooing had apparently prospered, for, although the marriage had been long arranged, my lady’s beauty and capriciousness had fanned in him the desire to appear a success ful suitor for her heart as well as her i hand. If sometimes she laughed and thus failed to receive his delicate gal lantries in the mood in which they were tendered, the marquis’ vanity only allowed him to conclude that a woman does not laugh if she is dis pleased. It was enough that she found him diverting: A* nerved her; they were friends and had danced and rid den through the spring days in ami cable fashion. “Good-by,” he repeated. “When are you coming to court again? The queen is sure to ask. I understand her majesty is planning all manner of brilliant entertainments, yet Ver sailles—without you, Elise!" “Me?” arching her finely penciled brows. “Oh, I’m thinking of staying here, becoming a nun, and restoring the Mount to its old religious pres tige.” “Then I’ll come back a monk," be returned in the same tone. “If you come back at all!” provok ingly. “There, go! The others will soon be out ot sight!" “I, too—alis, Elise!” He touched his horse; rode on, but soon looked back to where, against a great, grim wall, stood a figure all in white gleaming in the sunshine. The marquis stopped; drew from his breast a deep rpd rose, and, gazing upward, gracefully kissed the glowing token. Beneath the aureole of golden hair my lady’s proud face rewarded him with a faint smile, and some thing—a tiny handkerchief—fluttered like a dove above the frowning, time worn rock. At that, with the eloquent gesture of a troubadour, he threw his arm backward, as if to launch the Impress on the rose to the crimson lips of the girl, and then, plying his spurs, galloped off. And as he went at a pace, head long if pot dangerous and fitting the exigencies of the moment, my lord smiled. Truly had he presented a per fect, dainty and gallant figure for any woman’s eyes, and the Lady Elise, he fancied, was not the least discerning of her sex. And had he seen the girl, when an unkind angle of the wail hid him from sight, his own nice estimate of the situation would have suffered no change. The Mount, which for merly had resounded to the lire and merriment of the people from the court, on a sudden to her looked cold, barren, empty. “Heigh-ho!” she murmured, stretch ing her arms toward that point where he—they—had vanished. "I shall die of ennui, 1 am sure!" And thought fully retraced her steps to her own room. But she did not long stay there; by way of makeshift for gaiety, sub stituted activity. The Mount, full or early recollections and treasure-house mystery, furnished an incentive lor exploration, gntj for several paya she devoted herself to its study, now pausing for an instant's contemplation of a sculptured thing of beauty,- then before some closed door that held her, as at the threshold of a Bluebeard's forbidden chamber. One day, such a door stood open and her curiosity became cured. She had passed beneath a machieolated gateway, and climbing a stairway hat began in a watch-tower, found herself unexpectedly on a great plat form. Here seTeral men. unkempt, pale, like creatures from another world, were walking to and fro; but at sight of her,, an order was issued and they vanished through a trap all save one. a misshapen dwarf who remained to shut the iron door, ad just the fastening and turn a ponder ous key. For a moment she stood staring. "Why did you do that?” she asked angrily. lue guvei uui & uiuas, saiu iuo man. bowing hideously. 'They axe to see no one.” “Then let them up at once! Do you hear? At once!" And as he began to unlock the door, walked off. After that, her Interest in the rock wane*; the Mount seemed but a prison; she. herself, desired only to escape from it “Have my saddle put on Saladin," she said to Beppo the next day, toward the end of a long afternoon. “Very well, my lady. Who accom panies your ladyship?” “No one!” With slight emphasis. “I ride alone.” Beppo discretely suppressed his sur prise. “Is your ladyship going far? If so, I beg to remind that tonight Is the change of the moon, and the ‘grand,’ not the ‘little’ tide may be coming in.” “I was already aware of It, and shall keep between the Mount and the shore. Have my horse sent to the up per gate,” she added, and soon after ward rode down. The town was astir, and many looked after her as she passed; not kindly, but 'with the varying expres sions she had of late begun to notice. Again was she cognizant of that feel ing of secret antagonism, even from these people whose houses clung to the very fotpdations of her own abode, and her lips set tightly. Why. did they hate her? What right had they to hata h*r? A sensation, al most of relief,‘came over her, when passing throufh the.gaaalvn, feudal 9 n mm x ■ »■ tw-t-v— »•*- — «m*e. sheTonnu herrelT on the beach. Sail art! lunjniorcas was the Cay; not a breath stirred above' the tiny ripples of the sand; a calm, almost unnatural, seemed to wrap the world in its embrace. The girl breathed deeper, feeling the closeness of the air; her impatient eyes looked around; scanned the shore; to the let t, low and flat—to the right, marked by the dark fringe of a for est. Which way should she go? Ir resolutely she turned in the direction of the wood. Saladin her horse, seemed in un usually fine fettle, and the distance separating her from the land was soon covered; but still she continued to follow the shore, twinging around and out toward a point some distance seaward. Not until she hrd reached that extreme projection of land, where the wooing green crept out irom the forest as far as it might, did she draw rein. Saladin stopped, albeit with protest, tossing his great head. “You might as well make an end of that, sir!” said the girl, and, spring ing from the saddle, deftly secured | him. Then turning her back toward the Mount, a shadowy pyramid in the distance she seated herself in the grass with her eyes to the woods. Not tong, however, did my lady re main thus; soon rising, she walked toward the shadowy depths. At the verge she paused; her brows grew thoughtful; what was it the woods recalled? Suddenly, she remembered —a boy she had met the night she left for school so lpng ago. had told her he lived in them. She recalled, too as a child, how the woman, Marie, who had been maid to her mother, had tried to frighten her about that sequestered domain, with tales of fierce wild animals and unearthly creatures, visible and invisible, that roamed within. She naa no fear now, though faint rustlings and a pulsation of sound heid her listening. Then, through the leafy interstice, a gleaming and flash ing as it some or.e were throwing jewels to the earth, lured her on to the cause of the seeming enchant ment—a tiny waterwail! The moment passed; still she lin gered Around the Mount’s high top, her own home, only transcendent si lence reigned; here was she surround ed Dy babbling voices and all manner ot merry creatures—lively little squir rels; winged insects, romping in the twilight shade; a portly and well-sat isfied appearing green monster who regarded her amicably from a niche of green. A butterfly, poised and a rumbling detonation, faint, l'ar-oT, breke in upon the whisperings and ;:nk’ings of that wood nook. Getting up. she stood for a moment listening; then walked away. Near the verge of the sand, Saladin greeted her with impatience, tossing t;a acad toward the darkening heav ens. Nor did he wait until she was ■airly seated before starting back at a rapid gate along the shore. But the itn offered no protest: her face COMING TO hwas* SJffFT Uuited Doctors.

Gentlemen: Replying to your inquiry as to the amount of wheat raised by me this season and yield, will say that of my 160 acre farm, I had 150 acres in Turkey Red Winter Wheat. I have threshed it all and have received the following amounts of money for what I have sold: To the elevator at Burns. $1775.00 To the elevator at Egbert. 285.00 To A. E. Haith. for seed. 16.00 To Mr. Walling. 22.00 To J. W.
