CHAPTER VII.
j
L
HE COLONEL INformed -
formed his sister-
in-law the same
evening of the success -
cess of his expedition -
tion to Limehouse.
He described his Interview -
terview with John-
stone at some
length , and with a
good deal of dramatic -
matic skill.
"Then you en-
trapped the man rather than persuaded
1 him ? " she asked.
"I certainly did not intrust him with
our secret , " he replied. "That can be
easily explained at any time before we
reach St. Helena. "
"And you have no fear that he will
draw back when he finds out the real
nature of the service required from
biro ? "
"He's not that kind of man. Besides ,
t whatever he may be , let me once get
him on board , and I'll answer for his
going through with the affair. "
Camilla looked as if this remark was
less unexpected than unwelcome.
"With-with any one else , " she said ,
"whom you might wish to engage in a
higher capacity , you would of course
proceed openly ? "
The colonel saw the point of this
' question at once , and felt himself in a
' difficulty. He had as yet come to no
definite idea of how Dick was to ba
gained , he glanced at his sister-in-law
and s. w an indignant resolve foreshadowed -
shadowed on her face. If he hesitated
he was lost ; she would resume her
right of interference , and warn Est-
Court.
i All this flashed through his mind in
an instant.
"Let us be quite candid with one another -
. other , " he said. "If you will promise to
leave me a free hand , I will undertake
o write a plain , straightforward letter
to Captain Estcourt , simply setting out
our design , and asking him to join us. "
, "Very well , " she said , coldly.
"You promise , then ? " he asked.
"Of course , " she said ; "but in any
. case he needs no warning against an
open attempt. "
- The colonel was inclined to think sa
too , but he said nothing , and retired to
consider the matter more attentively in
the diplomatic atmosphere of his own
room.
During the next few days nothln ;
more was heard of the subject. Dick
called several times , and the colonel
noted with satisfaction his growing intimacy -
timacy with Camilla.
The end of the week-the last before
- the start-was now drawing near. The
time had come for the colonel to spread
his net , and he was ready in his place ,
waning only for the favorable moment.
It was not long delayed. On the Friday -
day afternoon Camilla asked him
whether he expected to be much occupied -
cupied on the following day.
1 "No , " he replied ; "I have no engagement -
ment whatever. "
"I am told , " she said , "that there are
some fine Claudes and Watteaus at No.
9 Great Russell Street. The house is
to be let furnished , and they allow one
to walk in and see the pictures. "
He bowed , to hide the cat-like eagerness -
ness of his eyes.
i thought , she continued , that it
} would be an agreeable way of passing
the morning ; and if you can come too ,
we might invite Captain Estcourt to accompany -
company us. He said something about
calling , and there's nothing to amuse
him here. Then will you invite him ? "
she asked , after a pause.
"With pleasure , " said the colonel , in
his moat formal and indifferent tone ;
and the subject dropped.
r After dinner the same evening he appeared -
peared in the drawing room with a
sheet of paper in his hand.
, This , he said , holding it out to Camilla -
milla , "is a rough draft of the letter I
propose writing to Estcourt , in accordance -
ance with our agreement of a few days
ago. "
She too ti it and read as follows :
"My Dear Captain Estcourt : My sis-
ter-in-law and I have more than once
hinted to ; ou how deeplywe are devoted -
ed to the service of the Emperor Napoleon -
poleon , and how cruelly we have felt
his exile. A favorable opportunity has
_ now presented itself for attempting his
liberation , and we are to start almost
immediately for our base of operations.
From what you have already told us
of your views on his majesty's imprisonment -
prisonment , and from the cordial and
Intimate friendship with which you
have honored us , I am induced to hope
that you will give us your loyal assistance -
ance in this expedition. If we may rely
on you for this important service , will
you be good enough to meet us at the
time and place mentioned below , when
I shall have the pleasure of introducing
to you M. Carnac and 1\I. le Comte de
Rabodanges , two of our most trusted
confederates. In case , however , you
should unhappily feel unable to join , us ,
may I ask you to destroy this letter
- at once , and not refer to it again ? We
shall understand your silence as a r&
fusai : '
She weighed every phase and every
word with painful care , then tossed the
paper back to him without comment.
"That meets with your approval ,
'then ? ' 'he asked.
"On the contrary , " she replied , "the
whole thing is a folly , and meets with-
my disapproval ; but if a letter must go ,
by all means let that be the form of it"
"You think it well calculated to
achieve its object ? " asked 'the colonel ,
tith a pretense of anxiety.
Bha laughed sarcastically. He put
C
v
on a look of dismay and disappoint-
ment.
"If you think it will fail , " he said ,
"perhaps it would be better not to do
it by writing at all. "
Camilla smiled , but made no answer
beyond a shrug of .
"I might put it to him In words of
the same plain fashion , " he suggested ,
"I have made an appointment with him
for 11 o'clock tomorrow morning , at
Great Russell street ; at least , I left a
verbal message asking him to meet us ,
and I've no doubt that he'll be there. "
She looked up as though she did not
quite follow him.
"I could ask Carnac and Rabodanges
to come too , " he explained , "and then
take the opportunity to bring the
scheme before him while we are all to-
gether. "
She was upon the point of vehemently
rejecting this proposal , but two considerations -
erations made her pause. She could not
but long to witness such a scene as the
confused route of her brother-in-law
and his allies , and she foresaw , in the
second place , that she might be able ,
if present at the interview , to show
Dick afterward that so shameful a proposal -
' posal had not been made to him by any
wish of hers.
At 10 the next morning the colonel
slipped from the house unobserved , and
by 10:0 he was posted at the northern
end of the street in which Dick was
lodging ; his eyes were fixed on the door
of the latter's house , but he kept hiri-
self completely out of sight.
He had not been watching three minutes -
utes when the door opened , Dick came
out , and turned down the street in the
opposite direction.
"I thought he'd be early , " murmured
the colonel to himself ; "and I don't
think there's much fear of his coming
back ! "
He waited until his unconscious
quarry had disappeared round the
southern corner , and then hastened to
the house. He rang the bell and a servant -
ant appeared.
"Is Captain Estcourt in ? "
"No , sir ; he's just gone out. "
"Do you suppose he'll be long ? "
"I shouldn t think so , sir ; but he didn't
say. "
The colonel looked troubled.
"Will you leave your name , sir ? " inquired -
quired the maid.
"I think , " replied the visitor , "that I
had better go to Captain Esteourt's
room and write a note for him. My business -
ness is rather important , and I can't
very well call again. "
The girl opened the door wider and
showed him upstairs , placed paper and
ink before him , and waited by the door.
The colonel wrote an exact copy of the
letter he had shown to Camilla , only
adding as the place of rendezvous "No.
9 Great Russell street , " and " 11 o'clock
on Saturday morning , March 24th , " as
the time , Then he asked for sealing-
wax and a taper , fastened up the letter -
ter with elaborate care , and handed it
to the attendant maid. She placed it
on the mantelpiece and went toward the
door to show him down the stairs out
of the house. He followed her down a
few steps , and then stopped , with an
exclamation , "I have left my „ loves
behind ! " and he ran back before she
could offer to go for him. He returned
in an instant , but in that instant lie had
broken the newly made seal , opened
the letter , folded it simply without
fastening , and tossed it carelessly down
again upon the mantel-piece.
"Be sure , " he said , as he passed out ,
"that Captain Estcourt reads my note
directly he comes home. I think you
said that would not be long ? "
"No , sir , not long , I expect. " And
she closed the door behind him.
He hurried to his own house , to find
Camilla waiting for trim and the carriage -
riage at the door.
"We are late , " she said ; "it is just
upon 11 now. "
"I am sorry , " he replied ; "I have been
round to Estcourt's rooms ; he might
as well have driven down with us ; but
he was not in , and I could not wait any
longer. "
She made no further remark , and they
started at once. On arriving at the
house they found Dick upon the door-
step. Camilla , who was dreading the
decisive moment more and more , took
comfort at the Sight of his open smile
and frank eyes , and unconsciously put
more warmth than usual into her wel-
come. The colonel , too , greeted him
with effusive cordiality , and seemed to
take his presence as a personal favor.
"We are so very glad , " he said , as
they entered the house together , "that
you have been able to join us. I
thought you would myself , and , indeed -
deed , I said so to Madame de Montaut ,
but she seemed uncertain about it. "
"How could you doubt it ? " said Dick ,
turning to Camilla , with tender reproach
preach And he added , lowering his
voice. "Surely you know that I would
give up anything to go with you anywhere -
where ? "
The colonel laughed softly to himself ,
and examined a picture with great at-
tention. The other two passed into the
dining room. He did not follow them ,
but stayed behind to receive MM. Car-
nac and Rabodanges , whom he was
momently expecting.
Dick was in his happiest mood , and
if he did not care much about the plc-
tunes at any rate he thoroughly enjoyed -
joyed the privilege of looking at them.
He noted , with a lover's keenness , that
Camilla's manner to him Nas changed
and seemed to imply a new kind of relationship -
lationship between , them. What it
meant he could not even guess , but certainly -
tainly she was now quite a different being -
ing from the imperious beauty , whose
wit had stricken him dumb on the night
of the ball so long ago. She had a wistful -
ful look In her eyes , as though she
would have asked something of him If
she dared , and her air was almost that
of one who clings to some one stronger
for protection or support ,
Ha was raised out of his natural diffidence -
dence by this delicate , unspoken flattery -
tery , and set high on a pinnacle of exalted -
alted hope , from which he now and
again shot swift glances far into a
gleaming future.
i
_
. , . , .
And all the time , in the room beneath ,
the colonel was relentlessly planning
his downfall.
For no sooner had Dick and Camilla
passed upstairs Into the drawing room ,
which contained the more valuable
paintings , than M. Carnac and the
count arrived almost together.
The colonel took them into the dining -
ing room and closed the door.
"You will remember , " he said , "our
last meeting , and the resolutions then
arrived at. "
They bowed ,
"r am happy , " he continued , "to be
able to report that my efforts have been
crowned with complete success. I have
engaged a daring and competent seaman -
man to work my submarine boat , and
I have secured an officer to command
our vessel who is personally known to
and esteemed by the admiral commanding -
ing at St. Helena. "
M. Carnac looked flustered ; this new
had quite taken away the poor old .
tleman's breath. But the count was
enthusiastic , and warmly congratulated -
ed the colonel , plying him with strings
of eager questions. M. de Iontaut
stopped him with a smile.
"Not so fast , my friend , " he said ;
"the gentleman is in the hodse at this
moment , and I shall have the pleasure
of presenting him to you immediately.
Of one thing , however , " he continued ,
"I must warn you beforehand. He has
given , so far , no more than a tacit
assent to my invitation to join us , and
it will therefore be as well to make no
reference to the matter at present , beyond -
yond , of course , giving a cordial greeting -
ing to so invaluable an accomplice. "
M. Carnac started ; the word "accom-
plice" appeared to disagree with him
unpleasantly. But both he and the
count acquiesced , and M , de Montaut
led them upstairs. Their voices , as
they approached , startled Dick and Camilla -
milla in their seclusion , and the faces
of both clouded at once.
"This is too bad ! " he exclaimed , im-
patiently.
She looked troubled , and said in an
anxious and deprecating tone : "It is
only some friends whom we asked to
meet us here. "
"Oh ! " he replied , "that's all right ;
your friends are mine. " And the three
gentlemen entered.
The formal introduction took place ,
and Camilla , seeing the dreaded ordeal
close at hand , felt as though she must
flee , or fall where she stood.
Her evident nervousness touched
-Dick , who naturally enough thought
himself the cause of it. n"She's afraid
I resent their interruption , " he said to
himself ; "I'll soon put that straight. "
So he replied to the compliments of
the two strangers with a cordiality even
more marked than their own. "I look
forward , " he said , "to our becoming
the best of friends. I hope you will always -
ways command me for any service in
my power. "
Camilla's heart failed her ; the words
seemed like an evil omen.
A sound like a chuckle was heard
from the colonel.
"What are you laughing at ? " Dick
asked.
"Nothing , " he replied ; "but I am
vastly pleased with this Claude. 'The
Embarkation of St. Helena , ' I believe
it is called. "
Camilla turned deadly white.
"I am unwell ; my head aches , " he
said , "Let us go home. "
She took Dick's arm and he led her
from the room.
( To nn CONTI\CEO , )
A lYondertul Or 'an.
The electric organ has been developed
into a marvelous instrument , its distinguishing -
tinguishing feature is that by using the
"console , " a keyboard on a movable
stand , the organ can be played from
any point , or several organs can be
played at the same moment , and by the 1
same touch of the keys. So that , if the i
service of half adozen ormore church s
could be so timed as to exactly cor : _ spend -
pond in the length of the respective
parts , f their ritual , one organist would
suffictfor them all. He t fould sit at
the keyboard and perform his offertory ,
anthem , or hymn , as the case might be ,
and the pressure on the keys would
make the electric contact , which would
open the pneumatic valves in the pipes
of all the instruments connected up by
wires. The largest organ is controlled
electrically with a simplicity , ease and
and absolute command of all its resources -
sources that is simply astounding. The
organist touches a button , and the clc-
tric motors start the blowers , which are
operated automatically , and which wit ]
continue to supply- all the wind needed
until they are stopped. At one time ,
organ playing was apt to be an exhausting -
hausting gymnastic exercise , now the
player actuates any or all of the stops
by "stop keys , " little ivory levers just
over the keyboard , 'which are moved
by a light touch of the finger , even
without raising the hand from the keys.
Heretofore , the organ had had its liri-
itations of touch effects ; the latest
electric organ has what is termed a
"double touch , " an action of the keys
which is so quick and elastic that
pianoforte music can be played by it effectively -
fectively and so delicate that it is capable -
able of the finest "expression. " The
wires connecting the keyboard with the
organ are run in a cable , and 2,000 are
held in a conductor of 1' inches diam
eter.
Could Not i rakc Thibet.
Mr. Wilson relates an amusing story
of an officer who determined to enter
Catnese Thibet by stratagem. This
officer managed to cross the frontier at
night and so escaped the frontier guard.
Next day , however , while he was journeying -
neying deeper into Thibet , the Thihetan
soldiers overtook him and informed him
that , as the country was unsafe because
of robbers , they would go with him in
order to protect him , to which arrangement -
ment the traveler was compelled to
agree. In a few hours they came to a
river , which was crossed by a rope
bridge. The Thibetans passed over
first , in order to show that the bridge
was safe , and then the officer got into
the basket and was pulled along by the
Thibetans. Suddenly , however , they
ceased pulling and left the Englishman
hangingin , midair above the rushing
torrent.
In vain the traveler shouted to the
Thibetans to pull ; they merely smoked
and nodded their heads. The hours
passed and still the officer hung above
the torrent. At last the Thibetans
agreed to pull him back if he would
promise to leave Thibet immediately.
This , of course , he was. compelled to do
and took his departure from the forbidden -
bidden land.-Gentleman' : Magazine.

Commenting upon the foregoing , a
newspaper defender of Grover Cleve-
land's ruinous free wool policy said :
" ? toy newspaper disposed to be fair in
discussing wool values would have
taken into consideration the fact that
during the past two years the price of
all agricultural products has been tln-
commenly low. In that period , for example -
ample , cotton reached the lowest rate
on record , though cotton is not protected -
ed by the tariff at all. Wheat likewise
reached its minimum figure. Every
country in the world has been affected
by this decline in the value of agricultural -
tural commodities , and wool has furnished -
nished no exception to the rule. "
cheaper lads had ! , h : duties been made
prohibitory. "
If New York , Ohio and the older
states have lost millions of dollars annually -
nually because of the land becoming
too valuable for sheep raising , why is
it that under the free wool policy of
Grover Cleveland the loss on wool and
sheep has amounted to millions of dol-
Iars in the territorial sections , where
sheep have increased in number ? The
following table , showing the effect of
free wool on the value of flocks , is
taken from the department of agriculture -
ture , and it is limited to the only states
where land is cheap and where the
sheep have increased :

The Boston Commercial Bulletin of
August 24 says :
"Thesestatescomprise the region that
produces what are cape. 'territory'
wools. On March 1,1S93 , fine territory
staple was selling in this market at 60
cents the scoured pound. On August
12 , 1S94 , just before the passage of the
Gorman tariff , it was selling at 40 cents.
It is worth today 3G cents.
"In two years the value of the American -
can flock has dropped from $125,909,264
to $66,685,767 , thanks to the success of
our free wool friends in the elections
of 1892. On account of the slaughter
of sheep , and the shortage of the clip ,
growers received more for their
wool this year than last. None of them
have received anything approaching
the prices paid when wool was not under -
der the blight , as it has been since
March , 1593 , of hostile control by the
national government. "
In 1893 the farmers of New York state
averaged 200 sheep each. They can
easily see how they have been robbed
by a glance at the following statement :

scoured woel by each farmer in Ohio ,

Such a statement is the product of an
unduly stimulated imagination , for , in
point of fact , foreign wool is not only
no lower than in October , 1S91 , when
the McKinley law had been in force for
one year , but is higher in the markets
of the world , as will be seen by the following -

Since this table was prepared foreign wools

Another defender of Grover Cleve-
land's policy , which is rapidly
slaughtering the seventh largest American -
ican agricultural industry , says :
"The farmers of New York never could
have imagined how poor they have be-
ccme until told by the republican state
convention that the democratic party
has 'robbed' them of 'millions of
dollars through free wool and the reduction -
duction of the tariff upon agricultural
products by the Wilson tariff bill : As
to wool , sheep growing in New York ,
as in all the old states , not excepting
Ohio , has steadily declined for many
years in obedience to natural laws
that no amount of protection can over-
come. As population increases in the
other states land becomes much too
valuable for sheep raising. In accordance -
ance with this law the number of sheep
In New York fell off under protection
avid is still declining. The protectionist
explanation of this decline is that the
duties were not high enough. But the
sheep culture in this country would
hose moved from the dearer to the
Michigan and New Ybrk states during
President Harrison's administration ,
and under McKinley law protection ,
was 600 potiids , the value of which was
60 cents per pound. Under Cleveland's
administration and Gorman tariff free-
trade the value of the same has been 30
cents per pound. The net gain to each
farmer by reason of cheaper free wool-
clothing ( allowing three pounds of pure
scoured wool to eight annual new suits
of clothing to each family ) would be
$7.20. Giving credit for cheaper clothing -
ing , the net average less on the wool
and sheep by reason of free wool has
been $422.S0 , as the folowing table will

The same paper said :
"But the worshipers of the McKinley
tariff idol are rapidly- diminishing
among the farmers of this country. "
If "the worshipers of the McKinley
tariff idol" are diminishing , why did
many hitherto democratic farmers last
year join the republican party ? It waste
to repudiate Grover Cleveland , and all
that he stands for , and for nothing else.
They ranged themselves with the republican - i
publican party- for protection. If the E
coming session of congress doesn't try to
give them protection sufficient to protect -
tect ; these former democratic farmers
will have no further use for the republican -
lican party , and these democratic newspapers -
papers know it. This is why they are
shrieking so loudly that McKinley protection -
tection is a dead issue. They want it to
be a dead issue , otherwise they are
beaten.
