Journals of tho large cities).
When thcv were gim doubtless to
tell Henry liow I hud taken It, I sat
down to supper wlUi I.n Font, Uols
ruul, und two or three gentlemen vl my
suite; and, without appearing too
cheerful, contrived to eat with my usual
appetite. Afterwards 1 withdrew in
the ordinary course to my chamber,
and, being now at liberty to look the
sltuaMoi. in the face, round It as se
rious as 1 had feared. The falling m;ui
has fjiv trends: he must act quickly
if 'he veuld retain any. I was not
slow in (h t iding that my sole chance
of an honorable t. scape lay in discov
ering, Jim! that within a few hours

to iinie. Vernuell: and In placing be
fore the (Ucen such evidence of this as
imit c invince her.
!y the way of beginning I summoned
Maljtnan and put him through a severe
examination. Later, 1 sH'ivt for the rest
ef my hew: -eliohl sucli, 1 mean, as had
nccoiiipiaiii'd me and, ranging them
against the walls f my chamber, took
n JlumU ;ul In my hand and went the
round of them, ciuestioning each and
jiiarkiug h!.; air and aspect as he an
swered. Hut wlili no result; so that af
ter follovn 'g some clews to no purpose,
and ti'Kpeiling several persons who
cleared themselves on the spot, 1 be
came moored that, the chain must be
taken up at the 'other en 1, and the
first link found among Mine, de Ver
lu'iiil's follow in;.,'.
liy this ti'iie it was nearly midnight,
n'ld my people, were dropping with fa
tigue. N . vei liu h ss, a sense of the
desperate nature of the case animating
them, the I i nil, d themselves volun
tarily into a kind nf council, all feeling
their probity rtiacked, in which va

violent. l.'ei;!i!'i!;r, however, whether

I secretly made up my mind to a course
which nciii" di.ied to suggest; and
then. diMiif'Mn.j all to bed, kept cnly
Maiman to Me '.n my chamber, that If
any points occurred to me in the night
I might r.:cstioti on them.
At 4 o'clock I called him, and bade
him go out and quietly saddle two
nors.es. This done, I slipped out my
F'lf without arousing anyone, and,
fioui.ihig at the stables, took the Or
leans load through the forest. My plan
was to strike nl the head, and, suprls
lr.g Mm", de Vcrneuil while the event
still hung ur. fi tain, to wrest the se
ciet from her by trick or threat. The
enterprise was desperate, for I knew
the stubbornness and arrogance of the
woman, and the inveterate enmity
which' sh? entertained towards me,
more particularly sltue the king's mar
riage. But in a dangerous case an
r. medy is welcome.
I reached Mb'sherbes, where mnd
nme was residing with her parents, a
little before 7 o'clock, and riding with
out disguise to the chateau demanded
to see her. She was not yet risen; anil
the servants, whom my appearance
threw Into th" utmost confusion, ob
jected this to me; but I knew that the
excuse wan no real one, and nnr.wercd
roughly that I came from the king,
and must see her. This opened all
doors, and In a moment I found myself
in her chamber. She was sitting up In
bed, clothed In an elegant nlghttrall,
and seemed In no wise surprised to Bee
rm. On the contrary, she greeted me
'(With a Kinile and a .taunting word, and
omitted nothing that might evince her
disdain or hurt my dignity. She let mo
Advance without offering me a chair;
and when, after saluting her, I looked
about for one, I found that all the seats
exicept one very low stool hud been re
ma veil from the room.
This was oo 'like iher that It did not
fiFiKinish me, 'and I baflled her malice by
leaning agalnwt the wall. "This Is no
ordinary honor from M. de Itosny!"
Fhepald, flouting me with her eyes.
"I come on no ordinary mission,
madame," I paid, as gravely as I could.
"Mercy!" he exolalmed In a mocking
tone. "I vhould liave put on new rib
bons, I suppose!"
"From the king, madame," I con
tinued, not allowing mysulf ito be
moved, " ito Inquire how you obtained
possession of his cipher." J
She laughed loudly. "Good, simple
king," she said, "to ak what Hie knows
already!"
"He does not know, rnadame," I an
swered; severely,

"A trifle exigeanit and superfluous."

in very plain terms if she were not
afraid of t'he queen's enmity, that she
d'ared thus to Haunt the king's favors

"So more than I am afraid of yours,"
She answered, hardily.
"Hut If nhe king Is disappointed In

"No! In keeping w'halt Whs king has
not given you!" I lanswered, sternly.
"Whereas, what do you gain?"
"We'll," she replied, raising hersolf In

color rose. "If you like, 1 will tell you.

plant a sting in that womans- breast:
and for his majesty, he has "made his

"Have a care, rnadame!" I cried,
burwtlng wiUi Indignation at a .speech
so shameless and disloyal. "You ure
playing a dangerous game, I warn
you!"
'And what game have you played?"
she replied, transported on a sudden
wit li equal passion. "Who was it tore
up the promise of marriage which the
king gave me? U"ho was It prevented
me being queen of France? Who was

tradeswoman, so that the king found

Who was It but enough; enough!" Fhe
cried, Interrupting herself with a ges
ture lull of rage. "You have ruined
me, you and your queen between you,
and I will ruin you!"
"On the contrary, niadame," I an
swered, collecting myself for a lust ef
fort, and speaking with all the severity
which n Just Indignation inspired, "l
have not ruined you. lint if you do
not tell me that which 1 am here ,to
lourn 1 will!" '
She laughed out aloud. "Oh, you
simpleton!" she said. "And you call
yourself a statesman! JX you not see
that If I do not tell it, you are disgraced
yourself and powerless, und can do me
no harm? Tell It you? When I have

queen! Not for a million crowns, M.

"And that Is your answer, rnad
ame?" I said, choking with rage. It
had been long since uny had dared so
to beard me.
"Yes," she. replied stoutly; "It is! Or,
stay; you shall not go empty handed."
Anil thrusting (her urm under the
pillow she drew out, after a moment's
search, a small packet which she held
out towards me. "Take It!" she said,
with a taunting laugh. "It has served
my turn. What the king gave me, I
give you."
Seeing that it was the mislng key to
the rliher, I swallowed my rage and
took It; and being assured by this time
that 1 could effect nothing by staying

longer, but should only expose myself
to fresh Insults, I turned on my heel,
with rudeness eqiyil to her own, and,
without taking leave of her, flung the
door open and went out. I heard her
throw herself back with a shrill laugh
of triumph. Hut as, the moment the
door fell to Behind me, my thoughts
began to cast about for another wny of
TORTURED THIRTY YEARS.
His Sufferings Ended After Using
' Munyon's Rheumatism Cure.
Mr. George Smith, of Tacony, Pa.,
says: "I suffered from rheumatlm for
thirty years, and had so many severe at
tacks that some of my Joints were
twisted out of shape. At times I suf
fered terrible pain, and, although I
tried many remedies, I never obtained
any permanent relief until I procured
Munyon's Rheumatism Cure. The ac
tion of this remedy was wonderfully
quick, and, although I have only taken
a small quantity, I consider myself per
manently cured."
Munyon's Rheumatism Cure la guar
anteed to cure rheumatism In any part
of the body. Acuto or muscular rheu
matism cured In from one to five days.
It never falls to cure sharp, shooting
pains' In the arms, legs, sides, back or
breast, or soreness In any part of the
body In from one to three hours. It Is
guaranteed to promptly cure lameness,
stiff and Bwollun points, stiff back, and all
pains In the hips and loins. Chronic
rheumatism, sciatica, lumbago, or pain
In the back are speedily cured.
Munyon'B Homeopathic Home Rem
edy company, of Philadelphia, put up
specifics for nearly every disease, which
are sold by all druggists, mostly for 25
cents a bottle.

escape this falling I took little heed
of her, und less of the derisive looks to
which the household,' quickly taking
the cue, treated me us I pussed. I
flung myself into the saddle und gal
loped off, followed by Malguau, who
presently, to my surprise, blurted out
a clumsy word of congratulation.
1 turned on him In amazement, and,
swearing ut him, asked him what he
meant.
"You have got It," he said, timidly,
pointing to the packet which I me
chanically held in my hand.
"And to what purpo'se?" I cried, glnd
of this opportunity of unloading some
of my wrath. "1 want, not the paper,
but the secret, fool! Y'ou may have
the paper for yourself If you will tell
me how rnadame got It."
Nevertheless, his Words led me to
look at the packet. i opened It, and,
having sallslled myself that It con
tained the original anil not a copy, was
putting It up again when my eyes fell
on a small spot of blood which marked
one corner of the cover. It was not
larger than a grain ,of corn, but it
awoke, first, a vague association and
then a memory, which us 1 rode grew
stronger und more dellnlte, untile on a
sudden, discovery Hashed upon me
und the truth.
(To be Continued.)
THOUGHT HIM A WAITER.
Here's Another Goo J Kcmlnlsccncc of Ir.
Oliver Wendell Holmes.
Fromtho Sliellleld Telegraph.
Here Is a good utory of Oliver Wendell
Holmes. When he was In Knglaiid In
lxsii he found himself on one occasion
at a "crush" In London amongst a
great mass of people, Including several
royal personages. He sat quietly In a
corner, but presently, feeling a little
faint, and observing refreshments In
the distance, he turned to an elderly
personage Mtandlng near, who he sup
posed to be a bmler or something of
that kind, and usked for a harmless
beverage. The supposed servant
brought this with great tilacrity, and
remarked, "I am glad toJneet you, Dr.
Holmes." The Autocrat of the lireak
fast Table was u little taken buck, and
the stranger added, "I am l'rlnce Chris
tian." "Dear me," said Holmes, alive at once
to the Joke, "1 have not had much ac
quaintance with princes, and, do you
know, 1 took you for the waiter!" At
this Prince Chrlntian went off Into a
burst of merriment. "Where Is my
wife," he said. "I must tell her this
She admires you immensely." Off went
Prince Christian to fetch the princess,
and the genial American philosopher
was soon the center of a circle of roy
alty, greatly delighted by the incident.
Some Disugrecuhlc 'i'lilngs.
From the Chicago Tribune.
"The bitterest experience that women
are railed upon to bear," remarked the
tall, athletic-looking young;' person to her
companions as they rode up In the car,
"is receiving the wedding cards of u mull
who used to swear that he'd rather le a
bachelor forever ihun marry unother wo
man. I'm sure it's the hardest thing In
life."
"Ah, no, It Isn't!" said the little one,
softly. "The hardest thing Is to be en
gaged to a man w hom unother girl has re
jected and to meet that girl's quizzical
gaze."
"You are bo'h wrong," said the third
girl. "The hardest 1 1 I i c on earth Is not
to be engaged to some other woman's
cast-oft" adorer or to know that your own
rii'it-ufl' lias found consolation. It's to
know that there Isn't on the face of the
earth u man who Is either your active or
your ex-lover."
And she nodded wisely.
It Was Well .Meant.
From Peck.
"I suppose," observed the tramp, bit
terly, "you would like to have me get off
the earth. Hut I cannot." "Have you
tried soil soap?" asked the woman In the
blue glUKham dress, dlspussioiiutely.
