THE. SCRANTON TRIBUNE THURSDAY MORNING, JULY 11, 1895. ICopyrif h 18& by CHAPTER V. Tho ruffian have mixed her. They will kill her." I cried. TltifM . iQ n v itnni , art k. .Ha I n a ! late thou ti of one whole reason had left him. He struck the door to frantically with hla naked band that It left a blotch of blood with every blow. "Here Is the key," I shouted, picking one fro ii the floor. "She must have thrown It In at the Instant that she was torn away."., My companion snatched It from me with a shriek of joy. A moment later later he dashed It down on the boards. It was so small that It was lost In the enormous lock. Xturoc sank upon one of the hoses with hla head between, his hands. He sobbed In 'his despair. I could have sobbed, too, when I thought of the woman and how helpless we were to save her. But I am not lb easily baffled. After all, this key must have teen sent to u for a purpose. The lady could not brlnjr us tfhat of the door because this murder ous stepfather of hers would most cer tainly have It In his pocket. Vet this other key must have a meaning, or why should she risk her life to place It In our hands. It would aay little for our wits If we could not find out what that meaning tnijrht . I set to work moving all the cases out from the wall, and Duroc, gaining a new hope from my energy, helped me With all his strength. It was no light We Were In the Powdor'Magazino of the Castle. 'f task, for many of them were large and heavy. On we went, working like maniacs, slinging barrels and cheeses and boxes pell-mell into the middle of the room. At last there only remained one huge barrel of vodki, which stood 4JLlhe corner. With our united strength wTjolled it out and tliere was a little, UkC waieadoflf in the wainscot behind It. 'The Key Sited, and with a cry of de light Wye7 caw It swung open before us. Wlthrihe lamp in my hand I squeezed iny way in, followed by my companion. W were In the powder magazine of thecastle a rough-walled cellar, with els all around it, and one with the top staved In In the center. The pow dfr from It lay In a black heap on the floor. Beyond there was another door, tout It was locked. "We are no better off than before," cried Duroc. "We have no key." "We have a dot en," I cried. Where?" f pointed to the line of powder bar rels., "Ton would blow this door openT ; "Precisely." - "But you would explode the maga stfne." I was true, but I was not at the end of my resources. "We shall blow open, the storeroom tloor," I cried. . I ran tack and seised a tin box which had been, filled with candles. It was Babout the sle of my busby large enough to hold several pounds of powder. Duroo filled It while I cut off the end of a candle. When we had finished It would have puzzled a colonel Of engineers to make a better petard. X pot three cheeses on to of each other and placed It above them so as to lean gainst the look. Then we lit our candle-end and ran- for shelter, shutting be door of the magazine behind us. It was no Joke, tny friends, to lie among all those tons of powder, with the7 knowledge that if the flame of the explosion should penetrate through one thin door our blackened limbs would be hot higher than the castle keep. Who could have believed that a half-Inch of candle could take so long to bum? 'toy cars were straining all the time for the thudding of the hoofs of the Cossacks Who were coming to destroy us. I had al most made up my mind that the candle must have gone -out when there was a mack like a bursting bomb. Our door flew to bits, and pieces of cheese with -shower of turnips, apples and splin ters of cases were shot among us. As we rushed out we had to stagger through an Impenetrable smoke, with 11 sorts of debris beneath our feet, tut there was glimmering square where the dark: door, bad been. The petard had done Its work. . In fact; it bad done more for us than wo ' had ventured to hope. It had battered jailers as well as jail. The Ant thrng that 1 saw as I came out Was maa with butcher's ax In his hand, lying flat on his back with a (Ding wound across his forehead. The second was huge dog with two of Its legs broken twisting In agony upon the floof. As It reared Itself I saw the broken ends flapping like flails. . At the asms instant I heard cry, and there was Duroc thrown against the wall with .the other hound's teeth In his throat Me pushed It oft with his left nand, white' again nd again he passed Ms sabre through Its body, but It was cut until blew out Ks brains with my Iriotol that the won jaws relaxed and the fierce, bloodshot eyes were- glased la death.'- l- ' ''-' .", There was to dm tot t0 pause- A woman's scream from in front a eream of mortal terror thait told us ten now we mlgkt be too late. . ,V x There were two other men In the hall, t-at they cowered away from our drawn gfds and. furious faces. 'li blood 'wds treamweT from u HV JoJtjrHVytnf the gray fur of f ) gsrjse. fcuoJ was the lad's fire, , Cat fc tinot In front of me, ' itr t or'r over his shoulder that " f r f of scene as'we - I ( srfcaf .In whloh wt Irving Barhdllar.J had first seen the master of the Castle of Gloom. The Baron, was standing In the middle of the room, with his tangled mane bristling like an angry Hon. He was, as I have said, a huge man, with enor mous rhouldera, and as he stood there with his face flushed with raga and his sword advanced, I could not but think that In spite of all his villainies he had a proper figure for a grenadier. The lady lay cowering in a chair behind him. A weal across one of her white arms and a dog whip upon the floor were nr..ough to show that our escape had hardly been In time to save her from his brutality. He gave a howl like a wolf as we broke In, and was upon us In an Instaht, hacking and driving with a curse at tvery blow. I have already said the room gave no space for swordmacshlp. My young companion, was in fra.it of me in the narrow passage between the table and the wall, so that I could only look on without being able to aid him. The lad knew something of hla weapon, and was as fierce air.d active as a wildcat, but In so narrow a space the Weight and strength of the giant gave him the advantage. Besides, he was an ad mirable swordsman. His parade and roposte were as iqulcki as lightning Twl a he touched Duroc upn the fhculdcr, and ther as the lad slipped on a I u tiff h whirled up his sword to finish him before he could recover his feet. I was quicker than he, however, and took the cut upon the pommel of my sabre "Exouse me," said I, "but you have still to deal with Ettenne Gerard." 'He drew back and leaned against the tapestry covered wall, breathing in little hoarse gasps, for his foul living was against hi.n. Take your breath," said I. "I will await your convenience." "You have r.o cause to quarrel against me," h-panted. "I owe you some little attention," said I, "for having shut me up in your storeroom. Besides, if all others were want'i"3, I see cause enough upon that lady's arm." "Have your way, then," he snarled, and leaped at me like a madman. For a minute I saw only the blazing blue eyes, and the red glazed point which stabbed and stabbed, rasping off to right or to left, and yet ever back at my ithroat and my breast. I had never thought that su:h good sword play was to be found at Paris In the days of the revolution. I do not suppose that in all my liKle af fairs I have met six men who had' at betj ter knowledge of their weapon. But he knew that I was his masiter. He read death In my eyes, and I could read that he read It. The flush died from his face. His breath cp.me In shorter and thicker gasps. Yet he fought on, even after the final thrust had come, and died stilt hacking and cursing with foul cries upon his lips and his blood clot ting upon his orange beard. I who speak to you have seen so many battles that my old memory can scarce con tain their names, and yet of all the terrible sights which these eyes have rested upon there Is none I care to think of less than that strange beard with the crimson stain In the center, from which I had drawn my sword point. It was only afterwards that I had time to think of all this. Hla monstrous body had hardly crashed down upon the floor before the woman in the cor ner sprang to her feet, clapping her hands together and screaming out In Yet Ha Fought on Even After the Final Thrust Had Come her delight. For my part I was dis gusted to see a woman take delight In such a deed of blood, and I gave no thought of the terrible wrongs which murt have befallen her before she could so far forget the gentleness of her sax. It was on my tongue to tell her sharply to be silent when a strange choking smell took the breath from my nwtrlls, and a sudden yellow glare brought out the figures of the faded hangings. "Duroc, Duroc," I shouted, tugging at his shoulder. "The castle Is on Are." But the boy lay senseless upon the ground, exhausted by his wounds. I rushed out Into the hall to see whence the danger came. It was our explosion which had set a light to the dry frame work of the door. Inside the store room some of the bones were already blazing.

A euro for every Clzzczo V the sight of the powder barrels be yond and of the loose heap on the floor. It might be seconds, tt could not be more than minutes, before the flames would be at the edge of it. These eyes will be closed In death, my friends, before they cease to ee those crawling lines of Are and the black heap beyond, How little I can, remember of what followed. Vaguely I can recall how I rushed Into the ohsvmber of death, how I seised Duroc by one limp hand and dragged him down the ball, the woman keeping pace with me and pulling at the other arm. Out of the gateway we rushed, and on down the snow-covered path until we were on the fringe of the fir forest. It was st that moment that I heard crash behind1 me, and glanc ing around saw great spout of fire shoot up Into the wintry sky. An In stant later there seemed to come a sec ond crash, far louder than the first, and I saiw the fir trees and the stars whirl ing round me and I fell unconscious cross the body of my comrade. It was some weeks before I came to myself in the post house of Arensdorf, and longer still before I could be told all that had befallen me. It was Duroc, already able to go soldiering, who came to my bedside and gave me an account of tt. He it was who told me how piece of timber had struck me on the head and had laid me almost dead upon the ground. From him. too, I learned how the Polish girl had run to Arens dorf, how she had roused our hussars, and how she had only just brought them back in time to save us from the spears of the Cossacks, who had been summoned from their bivouac by that same black-hearted secretary whom we had seen galloping so swiftly over the enow. As to the brave lady who had twice saved our lives, I could not learn very much about her at the moment from Duroc, but when I chanced to meet him in Paris two years later after the campaign of Wagram, I was not very much surprised to And that I needed no Introduction to his bride, and that by the queer turns of fortune he had himself, had he chosen to use It, that very name and title of the Baron Straubenthat, whloh showed him to be the owner of the blackened ruins of the Castle of Gloom. (The End.) JOKE MAY BE DANGEROUS. Some Persons In the World Born Without a Sense of Humor. From the London Illustrated News. There Is no gift of the gods bo dan gerous to Its possessor as that of hu mor, unless he thoroughly understands that all of .his fellow creatures have not got It. We have had some terrible ex amples of this of late In high places, but they occur continually In the ex periences of very ordinary people. An acquaintance of mine very nearly loet a fortune through quoting to his aunt with approbation De Qulncey's essay on "Murder Considered as One of the Fine Arts." "If once a man Indulges In murder he very soon comes to think little of robbery, and from robbery he comes next to drinking and Sabbath breaking, and there Is but one step from that to Incivility and procrastination. Once begin upon the downward path, you never know where you will atop." "I see nothing to 'laugh at in that," said the old lady. "The man must be a fool." "But, my dear aunt," remonstrated the nephew, "don't you see he is joking? 'Many a man,' he goes on to say, 'has dated his ruin from some murder or other tfhat perhaps he thought little of at the time.' That is surely very funny." "It seems to me extremely wicked," replied the old lady, "and I wish to hear nothing more of your Mr. De Qulncey." My friend was prudent enough not to press the matter further; but I have heard of another young gentleman who, in a similar case, went a little too far. He was telling his uncle, stout country gentleman, of Sydney Smith's reply to the dull man who asked why the posts 'at the entrance to the Green park had been put nearer together. "You have no ,ldea' said Smith, gravely, "what fat people used to get into that park!" The stout uncle colored a little and said : "I see no Joke, in that." Oh. don't aav that!" nlanlut iha nephew, "because Sydney Smith used to say that it was his test case, for If a man didn't seethe fun of that he would see the fun of nothing." This simple repetition of a jeu d'esprit cost the nar rator a legacy, for, though people may have no sense of humor, they do not like to be told so. What is verv curious, they sometimes take pleasure In retailing a Joke even If they do not understand It. Years ago there was an epigram upon Twining, the tea mer chant: "Twining would be whining If deprived of his T." With my own ears I heard this repeated, with a slight alteration, as "Dakm' (also a tea mer chant) would be aching If deprived of his T;" nor could the man be got to understand why his half borrowed Jest had failed. A charming' example of a Joke being-taken for earnest Is that of the Scotchman praying aloud upon a moor behind a turf dyke, and express ing an opinion that even If It should fall upon him it would be no more than he deserved. A waggish neighbor heard him and pushed the dyke upon him, when, scrambling out, he was heard to say: . "Wech, sirs! it's an awfu world this; a body canna say a thing in a Joke but It's ta'en in earnest." HE KNEW TOO MUCH. From the Chicago MaM. One of the city's bright lawyers said a very clever thing the other day. He was .seated with group of friends and they were discussing In a desultory way the leading topics of the day. One of the par ties present, Mr. , persisted In mon opolizing more than his share or the con versation, and Is views did-not at all ac cord with those of the lawyer. As the men separated one of them said to the law yer: v . ..v . "That knows a great deal, doesn't her "Yes," replied the lawyer; "he knows entirely too much for one man; be ought to be incorporated," ' The Cheerful Idiot. "I observe," said the musical boarder, "that a man on the South Bide is suing the proprietors of a boiler shop for making so much noise as to drive all his boarders away." ' "I hardly think he will win," said the Cheerful Idiot "Why didn't he get a few boarders who thought they could play the clarionet and drive the boiler shop away?" -Indianapolis Journal. , Itelief Is Six Honrs. 1 .

The bears In stocks made vigorous raid ou the in dustrials shortly after the opening with a view, it was thought, of covering their contracts in other parts of the list This theory proved to be correct as the market after the raid referred to steadily improved and closed strong with an advancing tendency. At the opening the railway share market was strong, the result of London buying, the 'heavy gain in St. Paul earnings for the first week of July emd the excellent outlook for the growing crops. The Industrials In the first hour showed some remarkable changes. Chicago Oas dropped 2V4 to 62: leather, 1 to 17: Ppeferred, 4 to 88; Tobacco, 1 to 111. and Sugar. 1 to 110. The heaviness of those stocks had little or no influence on the general market, and in the afternoon trading the bears were busily employed taking baak their short contracts. The Grangers, Louisville andi Nashville, Missouri Paolnc land Lake Erie and Western common were all higher and scored the. best figures for long time past. The Industrials were also In better request, in the after noon trading, and on liberal buying to cover shorts. The anthracite coalers were heavy for a time on rumors that there had been a ihltch in the negotia tions looking to a settlement of the trade troubles. Speculation closed strong wtth prices anywhere from 14 to 1 per cent, higher on the day. Tota.l sales were 322,918 shares, of which 82,200 were Chicago and 42.800 Reading.
