THE SCRANTON TBIBTJNE "WEDNESDAY MORNING, JANUARY 4J3, 185)5.
;
The
Lost
Cipher.
By STANLEY J. W'EYMAX.
(These short serial stories are copy
rlKhtcd by Bachellcr, Johnson & Bachol
ler, and are printed In The Tribune by
epectul arrangement, simultaneous with
their appearance in the leading dally
journals of the large cities).
On Aug. 13, 1601, roturnlnir from a
mission to England I sailed from Dover
and crossing to Culais without mishap
anticipated with pleasure the king's
'Satisfaction when he should hear the
result of my embassy, and learn from
my mouth the just and friendly senti
ments which Queen Elizabeth enter
tained toward him.
Unfortunately 1 wus not able to im
part, these on the Instant. During my
Hbse'iye ii trifling matter , had carried
the kiig to Dieppe, whence his anxiety
on the queen's account, who was short
ly to be brought to bed. led him to
take the road to Paris, lie sent word
to me to follow him, but necessarily
some days elapsed befoi we met; an
opportunity of which his enemies and
mine were quick to take advantage,
and that so insidiously and with so
much success as to imperil not my
reputation only but his happiness.
The time at their disposal was in
creased by the fact that when I
reached the arsenal I found the houvre
vacant, the queen, who lay at Fon
taiiH'b.leau, having summoned the
king, thither. Ferret, his secretary,
however, awaited me with a letter, in
Wjmeh Henry, after expressing Ills
(sire to see me, bade me neverthe
'less stay lu Furls a day to trans
iu:t some business. "Then." he con
tinued, "come to me, my friend, and
wo 'will discuss the matter of which you
know. In t'he meantime send me you'
papers by Ferret, who will give you a
3 eeeipt for them."
Suspecting no danger in a course
which was usual enough. I hastened to
comply. Summoning Maignan, who,
whenever I traveled, carried my port
folio, I unlocked It, and emptying the
!irpers in a mass on the table, handed
tip to in detail to Ferret. Presently, to
my astonishment, I found that one, and
rhls the most Important, was missing.
I went over the papersagain, and again,
and yet again. Still it was not to be
found.
Whenever I traveled on a mission of
Importance T wrote my dispatches in
file of the three modes, according as
they were of little, great, or the first
I Handed Them in Detail to Ferret.
Importance; lu ordinary characters, that
is, in a cipher to which tin- council pos
sessed the key, or in a cipher to 'which
only the king and 1 hold keys. This
last, as It was seldom used, was rarely
changed; but itwas my duty, on my re
turn from each mission, Immediately to
remit my key to the king, who de
posited It In i safe place until another
occasion for its use ai use.
It was this key which was missing. I
bid been accustomed to carry It In the
portfolio witlh the other papers, but In
a scaled envelope which J broke and
ngijiin sealed wlPh my own signet when
ever I had. occasion to use the cipher. I
had last seen th;; envelope at Calais,
When I handed the portfolio to Maignan
before beginning my journey to Paris;
1'he'portfollo had not since been opened,
Jet tihe sealed packet was missing.
More than a little uneasy, I recalled
Blaignan, who had withdrawn after de
livering up his charge. "You rascal!" I
paid with some heat. "Has this been
out of your custody?"
"The bag?" he answered, looking at
II. Then his faee changed. "You
have cut your fint?er, my lord," he said.
I had cut It slightly In unbuckling
Ihe portfolio, and a drop or two of
Mood had fallen on the papers. Hut
Ids reference to It at thts moment, when
my mind was full of-my loss, angered
me, and even awoke my suspicions.
"Silence!" I said, "and answer me.
Have you Jet tluls bag out of your pos
session?" This time he replied straightforward
ly that he had not.
"N'or unlocked It?"
"I have no key, your excellency."
That was true; and as I had at bot
tom the utmost confidence In his fidel
ity, I pursued the Inquiry no farther dn
Ihnt direction, but made a third search
jnnong the papers. TMs also falling
to bring the packet to light, and Ferret
Je.lng In haste to be gone, I was obliged
for the moment to put up with the
loss, and draw what comfort I could
from the reflection that no dispatch In
he missing cipher was extant. Who
ever h'ad stolen It, therefore, another
could, be substituted for it and no one
the worse. Still I was unwilling that
the, king should hear of the mischance
from a stranger, and be led toi think me
cureless; and I bade Ferret be silent
about It unless Henry missed the
packet, whltfti might not happen before
my arrival.
When the secretary, who readily as
sented, had given me his receipt and
gone, I questioned Maignan afresh
and more closely, but with no result.
He 'had not seen me place the packet In
the portfolio at Calais, and that I had
done do I could vouch only my own
memory, which I , knew to be fallible.
In the meantime, though the mlshance
annoyed me, I attached no great Im
portance to It, but anticipating that a
word of explanation would satisfy the
king, and a new cipher dispose of other
(llincultles, I dismissed the matter from
my mind.
Twenty-four hours later, however, I
was rudely awakened, A courier ar
rived from Henry, and, surprising me
In the midst of my last preparations at
'PI ,
the arsenal, handed me an order to at
tend his majesty; an order couched In
the most absolute and peremptory
terms, and lacking all those friendly
expressions which the king never failed
to use when he wrote to me. A missive
so brief and formal and so needless,
for 1 was on the point of starting had
not reached me for years; and coming
at this moment when I had no reason
to expect a reverse of fortune, It had
all the effect of a thunderbolt In a
clear sky. I stood stunned, the words
which I was dictating to my secretary
dying on my lips. For I knew- the king
too well, and had experienced his kind
ness too lately to attribute the harsh
ness of the order to chance or forget
fulness; and, assured In a! moment that
I stood face to face with a grave crisis,
I found myself hard put to It to hide
my feelings from those about me.
Ncvei'tiholt ss, I did so with an effort;
and, sending for the courier, asked him
with an assumption of carelessness,
what was the latest news at court. His
answer, In a measure, calmed my fears,
though it could not remove them. He
reported that ithe queen had been taken
ill or so the rumor went.
"Suddenly?" I said.
"This morning," he answered.
"The king was with her?"
"Yes, your excellency."
"Had he left ner long when he sent
this letter?"
"It came from her chamber, your ex
cellency." "Hut did you understand that her
majesty was in danger?" I urged.
As to that, however, the man could
not suy anything; and I was left to
nurse my conjectures during the long
ride to Fontainebleail, where we ar
rived lu the cool of tin- even
ing, the last stage through the forest
awakening memories of past pleasure
that combated in vain the disorder and
apprehension which held my spirits.
Dismounting In the dusk at the door of
my apartments, I found a fresh sur
prise awaiting me In the shape of de
t'onclnl, the Italian, who, advancing
to meet me before my foot was out of
the stirrup, announced that he came
frm the king, who desired my Instant
attendance In the queen's closet.
Knowing tVnciui to be one of those
whose inilueiice with her majesty had
more than once tempted the king to
the most violent measures against her
from which 1 .had with dilllculty dis
suaded him I augured the worst from
the choice of such a messenger; and
wounded alike in my pride and the
affection in which I held the king,
could scarcely find words in which to
ask him if the queen was ill.
"Indisposed, my lord," he replied,
carelessly. And he began to whistle.
I told him that I would remove my
boots and brush off the dust, and in
live minutes be at his service.
"Pardon me," he said, "my orders
are strict, and they are to request you
to attend his majesty Immediately. He
expected you an hour ugo."
1 was thunderstruck at this at the
message, and at the man's manner;
and for a moment I could scarcely re
strain my indignation. Fortunately
the habit of self-control came to my
aid In time, and I reflected that an
altercation with such a pei-son could
only lower my dignity. I contented
myself, therefore, with signifying my
assent by a nod, and followed him
toward the queen's apartments.
In the ante-chamber were several
persons, who. as I passed, saluted me
with an air of shyness nnd incertitude
which was enough of Itself to put me on
my guard. Coneinl attended me to the
door of the chamber; there he fell back,
and Mile. Oallgal, who was in waiting,
announced me. I entered, assuming a
serene countenance, and found the king
and queen together, no other person
being present. The queen was lying at
length on a couch, while Henry, seated
on a stool at her feet,' seemed to be en
gaged In soothing and reassuring her.
m my entrance, lie broko off and rose
to his feet.
"Here he Is at last," he said, barely
looking at me. "Now, If you will, dear
heart, ask him your questions. I have
had no communication with him, as
you know, for I have been with you
since morning."

SUFFERING WOMAN TESTIFIES
Mrs, Henrietta Button, of Janvier, N.
J., writes: "For a long time I suffered
from a disordered .stomach. .My appe
tite was gone and what little I ate dis
tressed me terribly. My health failed
rapidly. 1 became very weak and feared
I should never he well. Attvr reading
your "Oulde to Health," I was encour
aged to try Munyon's Dyspepsia Cure.
Its action was so prompt that I soon
felt like a new woman, and am now
completely cured."
MUNYON'S STOMACH AND DYS
PEPSIA CURE cures all forms of In
digestion and stomach troubles, such as
constipation, rising of food, distress
after eating, bloating of the stomach,
paipltatlon of the heart, shortness of
breath, and all affections of the heart
caused by indigestion. It soothes, heals
and Invigorates stomachs that have
been weakened by over-eating, or where
the lining of the stomach has been Im
paired by physic and Injurious medl

speak, out of the lawful wedlock of let

quires the union of form and of mean

of style, won with prodigious effort and
paMeivce as -prodigious, Mr. Stevenson
grew but Sbuvfy on bis public'. , It is
twiiiity-one years since' he llrst pub
lished (iind the greater part of. his bet

ngo; yet It Is only Hn the past decade
that lie his been unhes-llaitiiigly ac
cepted. 1'p .to that time he found most
of the doors of the present closed 'to
him, because ithe wards of the key luls
genius had forged were 11 tied to the
lock which opens the door of far-future
fame.
lint to style all things are possible,
and his facile genius lltted this marvel
ous master key to open all the mysteries
of life. No other craftsman runs
through so broad a gamut in the score
of volumes his life, all too short, has
given the world nnd the future. His
essays are alive with the personal flavor
and quality of men who-have written
nothing else. "Treasure Island" Is an
Incomparable story of adventure. Fine
fancy has never been spun to more
brilliant riot than in his "New Arabian
Nights." His child verse stands alone.
The succession of romances in Ills later
years, whether they dwelt with the
Northern seas of his birth or the South
sea of his adoption, ure peopled with
the living characters of a new world in
fiction as vital as that of any other
master. Nor has the round of llction a
moral apologue so awing as "Dr. Jekyll
and Mr. Hyde."
Any one of these would have made a
reputation; all are needed to lill the full
measure of his fame. This amazing
Series id' great works has been produced
in a life broken by Illness and maimed
by physical weakness. Hut no pain
could dull the edge of his. literary con
