CHAPTER VII. Continued.
Soon he again thrusts half his wiry
body out of the window, and can be
heard talking to the Jehu, to whom he
probably gives orders, for it will hard
ly do them to stop directly in front of
the madhouse, unless some desperate
plan has been agreed upon.
"We are there," announces M. Fran
cois. The vehicle halts, and as the door
Is opened the three men hasten to find
a landing upon the pavement

and the secret agent of the prefect
shows his silver badge to the aston
ished Jehu, who bows and declares
his willingness to stay until Gabriel
blows his trump if necessary, know
ing full well that his number is in
the possession of the agent, and that
his license will be revoked, or even
further punishment meted out to him
If he dares disobey.
"This way, messieurs," comes the
voice of the secret agent ahead, and
gladly they follow.
Evidently M. Francois has been ar
ranging his plan of action while en
route at any rate he loses no time in
reflection now, but proceeds to busi
ness. "Messieurs, mark that gloomy
square building just ahead it is M.
Girard's Retreat for the Demented
a second Bastile in looks. Here, next
door, we have the vacant building of
which our young friend Jules Favre
made mention. We enter, messieurs
we ascend to the roof, from which
we can open communications with
those we have come to save."
tS2Z5 ST fXjOBoaszy
They grasp the plan of this shrewd
Mend whom the prefect has sent to
their assistance it is simple enough
in its way, and they can hardly make
a mistake. -j
Once they enter the empty house,
their leader produces a small lantern,
which he lights, and thus all can see
to ascend the stairs. In this way the
roof is finally gained, a scuttle being
the last obstacle that has to be over
come. There is enough light for them to
see the wall of the building rising up
beyond, also the window with its
wooden bars, at which the street Arab
held converse with the prisoners of
M. Girard.
Dick is for rushing forward, but the
leader detains him.
"Pardon," he whispers, "we must
bring up the ladder that leads to the
scuttle something Is needed to reach
the window we must tear off the
bars and help the ladies down, you re
member?" So the short ladder is drawn up,
carefully carried across the interven
ing roof, and placed where it will
pass up beside the barred window.
Hardly waiting until M. Francois an
nounces the ladder firm, Dick mounts.
His face is now close to the window
all is dark within, and of course he
can see nothing.
"Miss Pauline!"
He utters the name in a whisper be
tween the wooden bars, but no reply
comes then he raises his voice a lit
tle and repeats it, with no better re
sult than before.
A third time he calls, and again
only a mocking echo is hurled back.
Then a hideous fear assails him that
some evil has befallen those whom he
came to save his hand is on one of
the bars he impetuously exerts the
strength oof his muscular arm few
things could withstand the mighty
power thus brought into play, and
the bar comes away in his grasp. He
pushes it through into the room, hears
it fall to the floor, and then, securing
himself afresh, once more clutches a
bar a second tremendous tug follows,
that wins the day.
"Bravo!" comes a whisper from be
low, where the Frenchman watches
his every movement.
"Good boy, Dick!" is heard from
Bob, perhaps in a voice that is rather
Incautious.
Dick does not wait for this encour
agement he has made an opening,

sill with the ease of an acrobat, and
disappears from the gaze of those who
watch below.
When he finds himself , in the room,
Dick once more calls that name, al
ready so precious to him, but the re
sult is the same a dead silence is
his only answer.
He has matches, and without hesi
tation takes one out to strike it No
sooner does the flame blaze up than
his eyes make a circuit of the small
apartment.
What does he see? a couple of
chairs, a small table, a bed that is
all!
Disappointment as keen as a knife
grasps his heart. What does this
mean. Did the note that the lad
brought deceive them? Ah! there is
the story of the secret agent surely
there must be truth back of it all.
Then they have changed the room
of the two prisoners that must be it
He lights another match it Is a Heaven-born
inspiration, for upon the ta
ble he discovers something that
escaped his eyes during the first illu
mination. It is a piece of paper, held under a
specimen of stone, a number of which
can be seen upon a little shelf on the
wall.
In an instant Dick bends over it
his eyes are glued to the paper that
tells the story:
"Kind Friends: We are in trouble
decoyed to this place to see one of
the curiosities of all Paris. We have
been notified that in half an hour.
when the matin bell in the convent

Just then Dick's match burns his
fingers, and he drops the remnant
Another is quickly held in his grasp,
and its light flares up. He reads on:
" rings, we will be transferred
to another room below possibly so
that we may get the full benefit of the
awful sounds that come to us but faint-
ly here. We are brave we do not
fear, but at the same time we pray
Heaven to rescue us. The motive I
can only guess as yet, but believe it
must concern the signing of a paper
giving Senor Manuel Lopez full con
trol of the El Dorado Mine, which I
will never, never do.
"PAULINE WESTERLY."
Again the match goes out. but Dick
does not care now. He knows where
the door lies, and is immediately at it,
shakes it vigorously as an imprisoned
lion might the door of his cage. It is
quite useless, for a heavy bar or bolt
secures it outside.
He returns to the window; since one
plan has failed he will try another.
Down the ladder he goes quickly, to
meet his comrades at the foot.
"Well?" says the Frenchman.
"What luck, old fellow?" demands
Colonel Bob.
"The room is empty and the door
barred."
At this the others express their dis
appointment by a succession of
grunts, but the acute Gaul has read
more in the voice of the messenger.
"You are not hopeless you have at
least made one discover'' he ejacu
lates, whereupon Dick only too glad
ly relates all about the finding of the
letter, and what it contains he has
the words very pat, while the missive
itself lies in a pocket next his heart,
perhaps some day to be framed and
hung up in remembrance of what be
fell them in gay, wicked Paris.
Just as he expects, the prefect's
agent Is ready to grapple with the
new difficulty he never allows such
a thing to daunt him.
"You tried the door?" he asks, sud
denly. "And found it secure it would take
a sledge-hammer to burst it open."
"Which would arouse the whole In
stitution we must adopt other tac
tics. Suppose we descend to terra
firma, since that breeze is fresh, and
a slip on this sloping roof would bo
apt to be followed by unpleasant con
sequences," with a shrug of his shoul
ders, which indicates a good deal more
than his words do.
The ladder is once more brought
back to its legitimate use. and soon
they find themselves again upon the
street, close by the entrance of the
grim building.
The Frenchman turns to Colonel
i Job.
"Pardon; I believe you can act a

"Bragg tells me he got mixed up la

"Did he get the best of it?"
"Of course; otherwise he wouldn't

"Eh?" gasps the astonished sheriff:
"Yon have the grit the courage, the
tact to play the crazy man."
"Thanks, my noble duke, for your
flattery," answers Bob, in freezing1
contempt.
"Ah! you do not comprehend you
fail to grasp the idea. I mean that
you are gifted you can play a part
you can, I am sure, even deceive the
great doctor, M. Girard."
"I begin to see light speak on."
says Bob.
"You remember I told the driver In
a joke we were taking you to the Re
treat We will make it a solemn truth
we will gain admittance to this cas
tle under that pretense, and then I
leave the case in your hands, mon

tion of Dick.
"I admire your plan It Is better

that is, unless Bob objects to acting
the part of a man who has lost his
senses, and Imagines himself a Caes

"Not I you will be proud of me
yet," declares the Sheriff of Secora
County, inflating his lungs and strut
ting like a turkey-cock.
"There is only one danger if Mr.
Girard knows the whole story, your
appearance will arouse his suspicions
immediately,'' for he will recognize you
as friends of his prisoners. We can
only try. You shall be M. Astorbiit,
the American millionaire, and this
your cousin Robert, whose mind we
will say pardon, monsieur, you ar

through his passion for M'lle Hor

horizon."
A groan from Bob.
"Do with me as you please I am
entirely in the hands of my friends,"
he says, with a resignation that Is
beautiful to contemplate.
CHAPTER VIII.
' The Cell in the Closed Corridor.
No one hesitates indeed, the agent
of police gives no time for meditation
he means business. No doubt he is
armed with some authority, vested in
him by the prefect, which gives him
the power and the liberty of search
ing the house of M. Girard. At any
rate, he does not appear to have any
fear regarding the consequences, and
shows about as much animation as the
two comrades.
The driver has his orders now, ani
brings the trio directly in front of the
door belonging to M. Girard's resi
dence. Rap, rap, goes the ponderous knock
er, the sound reverberating through
the corridors within and arousing
some of the inmates, who begin to
shout, some of them to swear, because
they have been disturbed in their
sleep.
A minute elapses, and then a wicket
in the door opens, through which pro
trudes a head one almost expects to
see the cowled head of a monk; but
instead, a shock of hair surmounting
a red face pushes into view, while the
owner, in a thick voice, demands what
they will have at such an hour.

DRESS REFORM IDEAS IN 1832.
Four "Don'ts" Proposed as a Start In
the Right Direction.
A coterie of ladies at Amsterdam
edit a periodical paper called the "Eu
phrosyne." It was this paper which
first proposed the creation of a nation
al costume for the female lieges of the
Dutch sovereign; and its example has
been followed by a coterie of gentle
men, who now publish a "journal for
the promotion of a national costume,
for the gentlemen, and the encourage
ment of national industry-"
If American editors would but en
gage in this cause with the zeal of the
worthy mynheers, we should confi
dently expect success in this matter of
a national costume. Now we can only
hope.
However, we will propose a few
rules in cur department of regulating
female costume, as a sample of our
taste. These will be prohibitory mere
ly. Every person knows the necessity
of eradicating or exposing false no
tions before enforcing right ideas.
1. No lady shall wear more than
seven distinct colors in her dress at
the same time that being enough to
form a rainbow.
2. No lady shall wear colored or
clouded stockings with a white dress.
3. No married lady shall appear in
a pink bonnet. (We should like to ex
tend this prohibition to all ladies over
14.)
4. No lady, who hopes to be mar
ried, shall wear the hem of her gown
above her ankles. Ladies' Magazine,
1832.

pieces her husband had received for

which he had turned over to her. The
clerk remarked that he had a num
ber of women customers who made
purchases at this time of the year in
the same way.
"One lady who has been a customer
of ours for years," he went on, "al
ways spends this director's money in
one way. Year after year she comes
in about this time and buys a piece of
table silver. Then she has it marked
'Director Silver.' I presume she
means to have it kept in her family as

PASSED LOiG NIGHT
TEDIOUS TWELVE HOURS IN A
MONTANA BLIZZARD.
Passenger and Driver, "Holed Up,"
Kept Moving Through What
Seemed Century of DarknessTem
perature Fifteen Below Zero.
Ike Boyer of Helena left yesterday
morning fcr Madison county points,
and while waiting in Butte the night
before told some interesting tales of
his experience while making the ter
ritory in southern Montana which is
not yet covered by the railroad.
"The time of my life," he said, "was
experienced between Bannack and Ar
genta. I was making the trip by stage
and my driver was one of the old
time stage drivers of the overland
road. The only name I ever knew for
his was 'Shorty.' and he was one of
the best that ever pulled the ribbons
over a team of horses in Montana.
"Shortly after we left Argenta it
began snowing, but we paid little at
tention to the storm, being wrapped
up comfortably. When we 'topped
the hill and started across the foot
hills to connect with the old Ban
nack road we ran into the teeth of
the blizzard. The thermometer be
gan dropping rapidly and almost be
fore wa knew it we found ourselves
chilling fast. To add to our trouble
the air became so filled with snow
that we could not see the length of
our sled ahead of us. The storm
came so fast and fierce that the
horses refused to face it and before
we realized it we were off the road
and the horses were helplessly floun
dering through the snow, which
seemed almost bottomless. By this
time darkness had come and we were
off the trail.
"To make the matter worse the
horses in floundering broke the
tongue from the sled and we were
holed up for good. Then we saw that
we were in for it for the night and
prepared to make the best of a bad
bargain. There was a little straw in
the bottom of the sled and we tied
the horses up so that they could eat
this. The driver and myself walked
back and forth, about a rod apart all
night long and in this manner man
aged to keep warm. We drank up ali
the samples I had with me, smoked
several boxes of sample cigars, and
it seemed as if the night would never
come to an end.
"Occasionally I would get uncom
monly tired and sleepy and would at
tempt to doze off, but 'Shorty' would
stand for nothing of the sort He
would rouse me by drastic means, if
necessary, and make me continue my
walk to and fro opposite him. Final
ly, after the lapse of at least a cen
tury, the night came to an end and
daylight began showing around the
gulch. With the approach of day the
storm went down and the air cleared.
Shorty' immediately began rustling
and before long found a pole that
could be used as a sled tongue, and
we toggled up matters and continued
our trip to Bannack. We arrived
there in time for a late breakfast and
were not surprised to learn that the
thermometer had registered 15 below
throughout the night" Anaconda
Standard.
Logical Juryman.
For nearly six hours had the court
been convulsed with the evidence
given him in a sensational action for
breach of promise. The many ridi
culous love letters had been read,
commented upon, and heartily laugh
ed at; counsel had spoken, the judge
had summed up, and the jury had re
tired to consider their verdict
"Well, gentlemen," said the fore
man, "how much shall we give this
young man?"
"Look here," said one of the jury
men, "if I understand aright, the
plaintiff doesn't want damages for
blighted affections, or anything of
that sort, but only wants to get back
what he's spent on presents, holiday
trips, etc."
"That is so," agreed the foreman.
"Well, then. I vote we don't give
him a penny," said the other, hastily

Roman Relics Found in England.
In the course of the operations for

relics of the Roman occupation. Thir
teen vases and lamps were unearthed.
One piece was an excellent specimen
of pottery, intact and in perfect pres

known as "the lamp of learning" and

Curious Method of Fishing.
Very curious is the method of fish
ing followed by the Chinese in the
Straits of Malacca. The fisherman
lets down from the side of the boat
a screen of white canvas stretched on
wood. The shoal of fish mistake this
for some floating obstruction and try
to leap over it, with the result that
the fish jump into the boat and are
thus captured. This method Is em
ployed by Malays in their waters.

ANJEMIA CAM BE CURED
Or. Williams' Pink Pills Make Now
Blood and Strike Straight at the
Root of Disease.
Anaemia is just the doctor's name for
bloodlessness. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills
actually make new blood. They cure
anaemia just as food cures hunger. They
cured Mrs. Thos. J. McGauu. of 17
Lincoln Place, Plaiiifield, N. J., and tliey
can do as much for any other pale, weak,
ailing, bloodless person.
" Iu the spring of 1903 I did my nsnnl
house cleaning," says Mrs. Mt-Gutiu,
" and soon afterward 1 began to have the
most terrible headaches. My heart
wonld beat so irregularly that it was
painful and there came a morning when
I could not get up. My doctor said I had.
anasmiaand he was surprised that I had
continued to live iu the condition I was
in. I was confined to my bed forucarly
two months, the doctor coining every
day for the first few weeks, but I did
not improve to nmonnt to anything.
"Altogether I was sick for nearly two
years. I was as weak as a rag, had
headaches, irregular heart beats, loss of
appetite, cramps iu the limbs and wax
unable to get a good night's sleep. My
legs and feet were so swollen that I
feared they would burst.
" One day, while I was wondering how
long I could live, feeling as I did, I re
ceived n booklet telling nlmut Dr. Wil
liams' Pink Pills for Pale People. I
read it and told my husband to get me
some of the pills. Before the first box
was gone I felt a change for the better.
I have taken about twelve boxes and al
though I was as near tiie grave as I could
be, I now feel as if I had a new leae of
life. I have no more headache, the heart
beats regularly, my cheeks are pink and
I feel ten years younger. I feel that I
have been enred very cheaply and I have
recommended Dr. Williams' Pink Pills
to lots of my friends."
