"Faith," eried be, "am I ever to be thrust behind a cur- tain by this thieving prelate? Is he then king of France and I a puppet that his whims must stand? M. de Trois must be freed." The meaning of his words came to me. It was his pleasure the chevalier be set at liberty; but, though king of France, he shrank from braving the displeasure of his powerful minister. if M. de Trois regained his liberty, it must be secretly and apparently against the wishes of the king. "Sire," replied I, "none can per chance escape from the Bastille, but there be other prisons in France. The Fortress Dauphine" -- His majesty raised his brows inquir- ingly. "And what of the Fortress Dau- phine, M. de Marc?" asked be. "An order commanding me to con- duct the Chevalier de Trols from the Bastille, sire. At Dauphine, less strong- ly guarded, perchance" -- The king caught at my meaning. "Come," sald he, casting upon me a look of gratitude, "within the hour "tis my pleasure the Chevalier de Trois be taken from Paris and imprisoned in the Fortress Dauphine. I will direct my secretary to prepare the order." The Fortress Dauphine was situated some leagues from Paris. The garrison consisted of some 120 men commanded by four officers and a governor whose liking for the wine cup was well known to the occupants of the fortress. 1t was to this prison that I conducted the Chevalier de Trois on the after noon of that day in which his majesty bad spoken to me in the garden.

"Faith," cried De Beaufort, having finished the meal and the wine alreddy mounting to his head, "methinks, being leutenant of his majesty"s musketeers, many adventures have befallen thee." | "Aye" replied I, seeming to be half | overcome with drink, "and thou like- | wise, being governor of Dauphine." | At that he launched out into a ram- bling discourse, applying himself free- ly to the bottlé till the fumes of the wine and the heat of the room set him | nodding, and presently he fell asleep, 4ith his head upon the tablé.

With quick comprehension De Trois eyés followed me, As I reached for the fastening I heditd a sudden move- metit at the table. The next instant he f#d snatched the sword from the sleeping De Beaufort's side, tumbled the sentinel from the top to the bottom of the stairs and, wounding a second who would have opposed him, ran through thé narrow passage, which ended at the rampart of the fortress. A third géntinel who guarded the way he slashed across the face, then, reach- ing the rampart, with drawn sword in hand, leaped over the breastwork, gaining without Injtiry the ground beneath, where the darkness hid him from those who, aroused by the cries of the wounded sentirels, ran up, mus kets in hand. No one durst leap after him, and in order to pursue they must go round through the tower and gate of the cit- adel to gain the open ground outside the walls. The tumult caused by the shouts of the perplexed sentries and a discharge of a dozen muskets oli the ramparts aroused the governor from his drunk- en slumber, Peércelving that M. de Trois' chair was vacant, his sword gone from its sheath and I, feigning drunkenness, learning against the win. dow, he set up a great outcry and dashed from the apartment. Ten min- utes later I heard the soufid of gallop- ing horses, for M. de Beaufort, at the head of & score of the garrison, rode madly forth to putsue the chevalier in the darkness, As for me, having ac- complished my errand, 1 lay down upon a beneh, well knowing that, haw ing delivered the prisoner to the gov- ernor of the fortress, the hand of Mas- arin could not reach me. De Trois was saved! The Fifst Ironclad. In anno Domini 1585, when the Dutch fought for their independence from Spain, the city of Antwerp was closely invested by the Duke of Parma. The stout burghers built a very large ship, nailed to its sides heavy iron plates and armed it with a formidable array of guns. On the masts were roomy platforms of sharpshooters, and high | parapets protected the soldiery sta- tioned on the raised deck. With this terrible vessel the burgh ers hoped to break the blockade--hop- ed it so confidently that they called the ship Finis Belli ("the end of the war"). But it proved unmanageable and short- ly after being launched ran aground on a sand bar and was then called Per- J dite Expense ("thrown away money').
