Saladin was behaving very badly, but —at least he was superb, worth con quering. if— A brief thrill of apprehension seized her as. again drawing near the point of land, be showed no signs of yield ing resisted all her attempts to turn, to direct him to It. With nostrils thrust forward and breathing strong, be continued to choose his own course; to whirl her on; past the promontory; around into the great hay beyond—now a vast expanse, or desert of sand, broken only, about half way across, by the small isle of Casque. Toward this rocky forma tion. a pygmy to the great Mount from which it lay concealed by the Intervening projection of land, the boras rushed. On, on! In vain she still endeavored to stop him; thinking uneasily of stories the fishermen told of this neighboring coast; of the sands that often shifted here, setting pitfalls for the nnwary. She saw the sky grow yet darker, noted the nearer flashings of light, and beard the louder rumb lings that followed. Then presen; ly another danger she had long been con scious of, on a sudden became real. She saw. or thought she saw, a faint •trunk, like a silver line drawn across the sky where the yellow sands touched the sombrous horizon. And Saladin seemed to observe it, too; to detect in it cause for wonder; reason for hesitation. At any rate, that head long speed now showed signs of di minishing; be clipped and tossed the sand leas vigorously, and looked around at hia mistress with wild, un easy eyes. Again she spoke to him; pulled with all her strength at the •wins, and. at once, he stopped. Nona too toon! Great drops of rain had begun to fall, but the girl did not notice them. The white line alone riveted her attention! It seemed to grow broader; to acquire an intangible movement of its own; at the same tint* to give out a sound—a strange, low droning that filled the air. Heard for the first time, a stranger at the Mount would have found It inexplic able; to the Governor's daughter, the menacing cadence left no room for doubt as to its origin. The girl's cheek paled; her gaze swung in the opposite direction, to ward the point of land, now so di» tant. Could they reach it? She did not believe they could; indeed, the “grand” tide coming np behind on the verge of the storm, faster than any !lf*V gallop, would overtop them midway. 'And Saladin seemed to know it also; beneath her, he trembled. Yet must they try, she thought, and had tightened the reins to turn, when looking ahead once more, she discerned a break in the forbidding cliffs of the little island of Casque, and, back of the fissure, a shining spot which marked a tiny cove. A moment she hesitated; what should she do? Ride toward the isle and the white danger, or toward the point of mainland and from it? Either alternative was a desperate one, but the isle lay much nearer; and quickly, the brown eyes gleaming with sudden courage, she decided; touched her horse and pressed him forward. But fast as she went the "grand" tide came faster; struck with a loud, menacing sound the seaward side of the isle and swung hungrily around. My lady cast over her shoulder a quick glance; the cove, however, was near; only a line of small rocks, jut ting from the sand, separated her from it. If they could but pass, she thought; they had passed, she told herself joyfully, when of a sudden the horse stumbled; fell. Thrown violent ly from his back, a moment was she cognizant of a deafening roar; a riot ous advance of foam; above, a hun dred birds that screamed distractedly; then all these sounds mingled; dark ness succeeded, and she remembered no more. CHAPTER VIII. The Old Watch-Tower. __A wall! A window—a prison-like interior! As her eyes opened, the Governor’s daughter strove confusedly to decipher her surroundings. The wall seemed real; the narrow window, too, high above, framing, against a darkening background, a slant of fine rain! Again she closed her eyes, only to be conscious of a gentle languor; a heaviness like that of half-sleep; cf i bodily heat, and also a little bodily pain. For an indefinite period, really a moment or two, she resigned herself to that jLrepmy torpor; then, with an effort,'iif ted Tier lashes once more. As she gazed before her. something bright seemed leaping back and forth; a flame—that played on the wall; re vealing the joints between the stones of massive masonry; casting shadows, but to wipe them out; paling near a small window, the only aperture ap parent in the cell-like place. Turning [ from the flickering®, her glance quick iy sought their —a fire in s hearth, before which she lay—or half sat, propped against a stone But why? The spot was strange; ir her ears sounded a buzzing, like the murmur of a waterfall. She remem bered now; she had lingered befor* one—in the woods: and Salsdin fcrf run away, madly, across the «an«i« A Butterfly, Poised and Waving Its Wings, Held Her for a Long Time, antil—my lady raised her hand to her brow; abruptly let it fall. In the shadow on the other side of the hearth some one moved; some one who had been watching her and who now stepped out into the light. “Are you better?” said a voice. She stared. On the bold, swarthy features of a young man now standing and looking down at her, the light flared and gleamed; the open shirt re vealed a muscular throat; the down turned black eyes were steady, solicit ous. His appearance was unexpected, yet not quite strange; she had seen him before, but, in tbe general sur prise and perplexity of tbe moment, did not ask herself where. The inter val between what she last remem bered on tbe beach—tbe rush and swirl of water—and what she woke to. absorbed tbe haxy workings of her mind. Tbe young man stopped; stirred tbe die, and after a pause, apparently to give her time to collect ber thoughts. Along R. R. No. 2 Henry Oberfciller marketed a load j of wheat Monday.
