RANTON TBIBTTNE TUE8DAY MOKNINO, JULY 9, 1895. " V tCoryricht lftf I CHAPTER lit. This was all very well, and I llrtcn?l With tbe greatest Interest, but I v.as none the clearer ai to what young Duroo wished me to do. . , "How can I be of icrvice to your1 1 asked. , ; . "Ry comtnfj up with roe." , .' . ; r, "To the castle r . !j "Precisely." ' v i i ' J ' i ";-.. " ; "wiien?" - ' v' ; : f? - r'. "At onoe." V "Uut what do you Intend to do?" "I thai) know what to do. Uut I wish jrou to be with me all the same." Well, It never wai In my nature to re fuse an adventure, and, besides. I had very sympathy with the lad's feellns-'-It is very easy to torsive one's enemies, fcut one'wUhes to give them soniothlnn to fofglve also. I held out my hand to him, therefore. "I must be on my way to Rossel to morrow morning, but tonight I am your," said I. We left our troopers in. smtrt quarters and. as It was hut a mile to the castle, we did not disturb the horses. To toll the truth, I hate to see a cavalryman walk, and I hold that Just as he Is the most gallant thins; upon earth when he has his saddle flaps between his knees, so he Is the most clumsy when he h:is to loop up his sabre and his sabtv-Usche In one hand and turn In his toes for fear of catching the rowels of his spurs. Still IHiroc and I were of an. age when one can carry things oft, and I dare swear that no woman at least would have Quarreled with the appearance of the two young hussars,' one la blue and vr.e In gray, who set out that night from the lArensdorf post house. We both car: !- ! our swords, and for my own part I slip! a pistol from my hostler into the In? Me of my pelisse, for It seemed to me that there might be some wild work for us. The track which led to the castle wound through a plteh-'black flrwood. where one could see nothing save the ragged patch of stars above our heads. Presently, hbwever. It opened up and there was the castle right in front of us about as far as a carbine would carry. It was a huge black place, and bore every mark of being exceedingly old, with turrets at every corner and a square keen on the side which was the nearest to us. In ail its great shadow there was no sign of I!?ht save for a single window, and ro s.iund came from i it. To me there wis something awful In Its size and its silence which corres ponded so well wkh a sinister name. 3Iy companion pressed on eagerly and I followed him along the Ill-kept path Which led to the gate. There was no 'bell cr knocker upon tho great Iron studded door, a.d It was only f)V TM)Un(f fner orAVl thbiUa nfiit, tihr4 ' cinikMi I"7"ttnct attention. A thin, pale-facsd man with a beard up to his temples opened It at last. He carried la r. tern In one hand, and with the other a chain, which held an enor mous black hound. Ill manner at th.? first moment was threatening, but the sight of our uniforms and of our faces turned It Into one of sulky reserve. " -'.The Baron :rauben:hal does not re ceive visitors at so late an hour," said ate, speaking In very excellent French. "You can inform Baron Straubenthal that I have come eight hundred leagues to see him, and that I will not leave un til J have done so," said my companion. I could not myself have said It with a abetter voice and manner. - The fellow took a sidelong look at us and tugged at his long black beard In kis perplexity. "To tell the troth, gentlemsn," said be. "The Baron has a cup or two of wine In him at this hour and you would certainly And him a more entertaining companion If you were to come again in tbe morning." He had opened the door a little wirier s be spoke and I saw by the light of the lamp in the hall (behind him that three other rough fellows were standing there, one of whom held another of these monstrous hounds. Duroc must have seen it also, but It made no dif ference to his resolution. "Enough talk," said he, pushing the tnan to one side. . "It is with your master that I have to dsal." . Tbe fellows In the hall made way for hint as he strode in among them, so great is the power of one man who knows what he wants over several who ' "The Baron Strsabonthsl Does Not Us ssivs VIsltorostsoLste on Hour." ( re not sure of themselves. My com panlon tapped - one of them on the shoulder with 'as much assurance as though be owned him. , "Ahow me the Baron," said he. ; " The man shrugged his shoulders and "answered something In Polish, The fel low with the beard who had shut and ' tarred thetrqnt door appeared to be the .'. only on monf them who could speak "Well, "ygti'lsltsir-have your way," 1 isia b; Ub. y sinister smile; "You : anal! tee 'the Baron. "And perhaps be fori you have finished you will wish tbat you bad taken my advice." We 'followed him- down- the hall, iMoh wis atone flagged and very rpftolous, with sk(n scattered upon the , foot, and the beads of wild beasts upon y. Cs wails," At the furthef end bs threw i S t;et the door and ws entered. . r .--It'-Wia small room, scantily fur tl, with thtama insrks of neglect ' J lM-f wMoh met us at every turn, i t i ere buna with discolored .Y ..loh r.l some loose at.ofie ri ti x ss the rough stone X ; t id;door hunjr .wits IrTln Bachtsller.l a curtain faced us upon the other side. Between lay a square table strewn with dirty dishes and the sordid remains of a meal. Several bottles were scat tered over It. At the head of It facing us there sat a huge man with a llon-lik head and a great shock of orange col ored hair. His beard was of the same glaring hue, matted and tangled and coarse as a horse's mane. I have seen ume strange faces In my time, but never one more brutal than that with Its small eyes. Its white crumpled eheeVo), arj the thick, hanging lip which ' protruded over his monstrous beard. Ills head swayed about his shoulders, and v he looked at us with a var.ue. dim Raze of a drunken man. Yet ho was not so drunk but that our uni forms carried their message to him. "Well, my brave boys." he hiccoughed, "what Is the latest news from Paris eh? you're ifo'.ng to free Poland I hear, and you have meantime all become And racing I s There Sato Huge Maa. slaves yourselves, slaves to a little auto crat wish his gray coat and three-cornered hat. No more citizens, either, I am told, and nothing but monsieur and madam. My faith, some more heads will have to roll into the sawdust basket some of these mornings." Duiuo advanced In silence and stood by the rulIUn's side. "Jean Carabln," said he. The Baron started, and the Sim of drunkenness seemed to be clearing from his eyes. 'J ean Carabln," said Duroc once more. Ke sat up and,grasped the arms of his chair. "What do you mean by repeating that name, young man?" he asked. "Jean Carabln, you are a man whom I long wished to meet." "Supposing that I had once such a name, how can It concern you, since you must have been a child when I bore It?" "My name Is Duroc." "Not the son of " "The son of the man you murdered." The Baron tried to laugh, but there was terror In his eyes. "We must let by-gones be by-gones, young man," he cried. "It was our life or theirs In those days, the aristocrats or the people. Your father was of tbe Olronde. He fell. I was of the moun tain. Most of my comrades fell. It was all the fortune of war. We must forget all this and then learn to know each other better, you and I." He held out a red, twitching hand as he spoke. "Enough." cried young Duroc. "If I were to pass my sabre through you ss you sit in that chair I should do what Is right and Just. I dishonor my blade by crossing It with yours. And yet you are a Frenchman and have even held a commission under the same flag as my self. 'Rice then and defend yourself!" "Tut, tutl" cried the Baron. "It is all very veil for you youns bloods" I-tiiroc's patience could stand It no more. He swunc his open hand Into the great orange beard. I saw a Up fringed with blood, and two glaring blue eyes above it. "You shall die for that blow." "That is better," said Duroc. ".My sabre," cried the other. "I will not keep you waiting, I promise you!" and ho hurried from the room. (To be continued.) MANY "BLOOD KAINS." Remarkable Precipitations That llavs Occurred in 'I his Kra The following Is an Itemised histori cal rt.cord of the famous "red rains" which have fallen since the beginning of tho Christian era. The list Is made up from i finings taken from the work of sii'th well known authors as Leftury, fthri-nbarg, and Humboldt, the principal portion of the record being bated on matter taken from "Kosmos," a famous work by HunYboldt. On Nov. S and 6, 472, a shower of soot or black dust, "mingled with drops red as blood" fell at Constantinople. Asiin In 6,-,2, a. D., a nhower of red roln followed by a dust-like deposit of tha same sanguine huo Is reported from Comlantlnople. At Brlxen, Austrian Tyrol, in the year 869 (month and day not given), red rain fell for three hours "until the street looked like the floor Of a slaughter house." In the year 829 red sand, mingled wnn water ui me same color, fell for a space or twenty minutes at Bagdad. In lor.fl there was a great fall of red snow throughout Armenia. In the year lUO, In the Province of Vaspouragan, Armenia, a flaming body fell Into Dike Van "and forthwith the water became tinged as with blood, and so remained for a period of near three yeirs." v . .

Something similar occurred In Syria In the year 1613. Tournay, Belgium, bad a red rain In 1(38. On Jan. t, IMS. red rains were report ed from two different places, Vochlgea and Welneberg, both In Wurtemberg. In 184! there were two red rains In tho United States, one lit Massachu setts and the other In Tennessee. In the year following one Is reported from Laurens. S.

Prom the Buffalo Courier. The welters upon the history of the bicycle generally begin wMh the 1 av em tio n of the dralaine between 181 and 1819 by Baron voraDrals of Mannheim whom some authorities describe as a Frenchman, while others give his name aa Baron Drala de Bevefbunn al though vehicles with three or more wheels propelled by hand power are traced back in England to about 17(7. The dralslne or hobby horse had two wheels and was propelled by the rid er's touching his toes to the ground, and the fashion of using H was soon laughed down by the caricaturists. Oavln Dalsell, of Lanarkshire, Scot land, a cooper and afterward a dry goods merchant, who had already made a tricycle driven by a crank attached to a sprocket whel. constructed a wooden horse" ia Hit which bore con siderable resemblance to the modern bicycle, in that the rear wheel was driven by levers worked by the feet. This machine Is still In existence, and two of Mr. Dalsell's sons are living In Pittsburg. It is said that Mr. Dalsell was preceded by a Drumlanarlg black smith named MoMlUan, who contrived a similar device in 1140 or 1141. The trouble with the Scottish inventors, however, as has been the case with many other clever men, is that their ideas did net lead to anything. In 1(55 an old dralsine was brought to Qdtchaux, a Paris carriage builder. to be repaired. The Idea occurred to him to fix a pin to one of the spokes and pass it through the end of a long rod, so that the rider, after getting up speed by touching his feet to the ground, could keep the, machine In mo tion with one hand, while he steered with the other. Finding 'the feet In the way, Michaux conoeived the plan of using them. Instead of one band, to drive tbe front wheel. In 18(3 Pierre Lallement, another Frenchman, made a better machine of the same sort, but It Is not believed that he knew anything of the experiments of Michaux. Lalle ment entered Into parnershlp with an Englishman, named Carrol, and the two secured an American patent which played an important part In the early history -of the bicycle In the United States. . Under this patent, which was sold to an American speculator, the velocipedes or "bone shakers" of al most thirty years ago were made here. and later one of the pioneer bicycle firms of the United States got hold of It and by means of It for some time ex torted $29 for every .machine made by rival houses. Lallement ultimately se cured by a lawsuit 12,000, which was about all that he ever got. A few years ago he was 'still worleing by the day at a bench In, a bicycle factory. The Last of the Roas-Shaksr. Michaux had gone on Improving bis machine, and it had become known to the world through the Paris exposition of 1867. In 18(8 Louts Blvere, another Frenchman, suggested a larger wheel in front than behind, and the bicycle was thus developed from the velocipede or "bone shaker." Dome Englishmen, whose Identity is disputed, devised the rubber tire, perhaps the most impor tant step In the whole evolution. Then came it he suspension wheel, the princi ple of which Is that the rim supports the hub. Instead of the hub the rim, as with carriage wheels. Gradually we evolved the ball bearings, first applied only to the front wheel, and numerous other Improvements. The "kangaroo," a dwarf front driving machine In which a chain was used, excited great derision, but when 'the Rover patent appeared with the. chain applied to the front wheel ths doom of the high bicycle was spoken, and the rear driving safety upon the lines of VDalzells wooden horse" came into vogue. In 1877 Her bert 8. Owen, of Washington, Invented the drop frame or women's wheel. The pneumatic tire which camei rn about 1880 was an old Idea which had been patented In 184S or 18M. " Only a bare outline of the story of the bicycle has been given hsre. The de tails of the changes of form until (he diamond frame was settled upon by all makers, the various experiments with the use of wood until the American manufacturers came to employ It ex clusively for rims, and the other move ments of opinion would prove Interest ing, but a volume could be mads out of them. It Is worthy of note that a pres ent subject of discussion is a device for changing the gear, which was experi mented with in the case of the first tricycle mads In the United States. A BUsiNE83BOY. Detroit street boys are on the make whenever the opportunity offers, and they go about K In t business-like way. Not long ago the wind picked off a gentleman's fine slik hat, and whirling H aloft, left him btraheaded on the comer. "Here, boy," he called to an urchin nearby, "gst my hat for me." "What are you orTsrln'T" Inquired the boy, "I want my hat," exclaimed the gen tleman. "I'll give you 10 cents." "What's K worth?" the bey inquired. "It's a new silk hat, one that 1 just gave 88 for. I'll give you a dims If you'll skip out and get It forme." "I guess not," replied the boy, turning away. "I 'ain't In the business of fur nishing gents wlta.ll silk hats fur 19 osnts.

One of tho victims of the Clover club of Philadelphia, who has good reason to look back upon his experience at a club dinner with anything but pleasure. Is Austin Cor bln, tho wealthy New Yorker. A writer in the Pittsburg Dispatch says Mr. Cor bln: "Mr. Corbln's name come up during a talk with some gentlemen In the corridor of the Fifth Avenue, and one of the group remarked that while Cor bin was a hustler he wasn't' much of an fter-dinnr orator. 'At a Clover dinner,' said the story-toller. 'Corbln, who was then president of the Rending, was called upon to make a speech. He unwillingly arose, stammered and finally re marked: "Mr. Chairman, as I nm not much acuslomm to speech-making, I am greatly embarrassed" "And," uttered a deep-voiced guest at the banquet board, "ho is your blanked old road." This com plctely paralyzed Mr. Corbln, but it let him out of a bud hole and Introduced him to the customs and follies of the Clover lies.' " CosQlexion Presaii. OR.
