I’ll put this one back now, or some of those folk down below may notice that we have got it loose.” “Are they all loose?" “Only the one at present, but we’ll get the other two out during the night, You can take that bar out and work with it while I use my own picker at the other. You see, the stone is soft, and by grinding it you soon make a groove along which you can slip the bar. It will be mighty Queer if we can’t clear a road for ourselves before morning.” So weary was the young guardsman that it was long past noon and the sun was shining out of a clondless blue sky before he awoke. For a moment, enveloped as he was in straw, and with the rude arch of the dungeon meeting in four rough hewn groinings above his head. he stared about him in bewilderment. Then in an instant the doings of the day before. his mis- sion. the ambuscade, his imprisonment, all flashed back to him. and he sprang to his feet. His (-ommeie. who had been dozing in the come-r. jumped up also at the first movement. with his hand on his knife and a sinister glance directed toward the door. By persuasions and a little pushing he got his delighted companion on to his couch again and heaped the straw over him to serve as a blanket. “I’shuw! \‘(lmt does our 111i.<sim1 is dune?” “It may not matter to youâ€"there’s no accmmtixw (or tastesâ€"but it mat- ters :1 gmd meal to me.

"It may be any one of thirty castles which lie upon the south side of Paris and within six or seven leagues of it.” “I went back to the major then, and I asked him when he was in Paris to pass by the archbishop’s door. I show- ed him this lump of chalk. ‘If we’ve been there,’ said 1, ‘you’ll see a great cross on the left side or the doorpost. If there’s no cross, then pull the latch and ask the bishop if he’ll come up to the palace as quick as his horses can bring him.’ The major started an hour after us. He would be in Paris by half past 10; the bishon would be in his car- riage by 11, and he would reach Ver- sailles half an hour agoâ€"that is to say, about half past 12. By the Lord, I think I’ve driven him off his head!” De Catinat spun round the cell now, waving his arms and his legs, with his shadow capering up the wall behind him, all distorted in the moonlight. “Oh, if I could but do something for you!” he exclaimed. “You can, then. Lie down on that straw and go to sleep.” “Oh, it’s you. is it?” said he. “I thought it was the man. They brought those two loaves and a jug of water just about dawn, when I was settling down for a rest.” “And did he say anything?” “No: it was the little black one.” “Simon, they called him.” “The same.

Suddenly he ceased and strained his ears. a small door immediately in front of their window. A man wearing a plumed hat and enveloped in a riding coat stepped from the carriage and then, turning round, dragged a second person out after him. There was a scuflle, a cry, a push, and the two fig- ures vanished through the door. As it closed the carriage drove away, the torches and braziers were eXtinguished, the main gate was closed once more, and all was as quiet as before this sudden interruption. “Well!” gaSDed De Catinat. “Is this anOthCP kmg’s blnessenger they" ve got?” They both stood listening. There were the thud of hammers,- the rasping of a saw and the clatter of wood from the other side of the wall. “,Well, I’ll have that bar out, after all,” said the American at last, rising and stepping over to the window. “Anyhow we’ll see What all this eaten. wauling is about.” He climbed up on his pegs as he Spoke and peeped out. “By thunder!” said be. “There’s some one working on the other side!” A great bell had begun to ring in the chateau, and there was a loud buzz of voices and a clatter of feet upon the- stones. Hearse orders were shouted, and there was the sound of turning keys. Five minutes passed, however. and yet another five minutes, without any one appearing. “Come up!” he cried excitedly to his comrade. “They've got some other game going on here, and they are all a deal too busy to bother their heads about us.” De Catinat clambered up beside him. and the two stood staring down into the courtyard. A brazier had been lit at each corner, and the place was throng'ed with men, many of whom carried torches. The main gate was open, and a carriage, which had appar- ently just driven in, was standing at a small door immediately in front of It was De Catinnt who observed him first, and he sprung: down :: him in an instant with his bar, but at his movement the man rushed for the door and drew it after him just :is the Amorimn‘s tool whizzed past his ear and down the passage. “It is scarce worth While to go on." said Do (fatinat.

In front walked the portly bishop. clad in a green vest- nient, puffed out with the importance of the function, his m'rssal in his hand and his fingers between the pages at the service de matrimoniis. The king and Mme. de Maintenon walked side by side. she quiet and composed, with gentle bearing and downcast eyes, he with a flush on his dark cheeks and a nervous, furtive look in his eyes, like a man who knows that he is in the midst of one of the great crises of his life.

Already?" “New, Lonvois; within five minutes.” “Very good, sire.” There had meanwhile been busy go- ings on in the small room where the red lamp burned in front of the Virgin. Francoise de Maintenon stood in the center, a little flush of excitement on her cheeks and an unwonted light in her placid gray eyes. She was clad in a dress of shining white brocade. trim- med and slashed with saver serge and fringed at the throat and arms with costly point lace. There came a dis- creet tap at the door. “Then we shall not keep him waiting. Come, mademoiselle, and may God shed his blessing upon what we are about to do!” “It is Bontems, madame,” said Mlle. Nanon. “He says that the king is ready.” “Very well. Bontems. Ask madame to be so good as to step this way. And order the witnesses to assemble in the anteroom.” And at the cry and at the sight of that fair pale face De Catinat. looking down from the window, wai stricken as though IN a daggei, for there. stand- ing beside the headsmans block, was she who had been the most powerful. as well as the wittiest and the fairest, of the women of Franceâ€"none other than Francoise de Montespan. so lately the favorite of the king.

I can see a line of armed men along the farther side of the yard. And here come more. See. at the center gate!” The steady hammering and sawing went forward. It was early morning, and the first cold light was beginning to steal over the courtyard before the work was at last finished and the work- men had left. Then at last the prison- ers dared to climb up and to see what it was which had been constructed dur- ing the night. It gave them a catch of the breath as they looked at it. It was a scaffold. It was buttressed up against their wall, and in the center stood a headsman’s block. “I think it is time that we left,” said Amos Green. “The window is clgar. Let us make a rush for it.” “Yb-s.
