will kill her." I cried.

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.

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.

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. I glanced In, and as I did
so -my blood was turned to water by

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?"

THE TOiLD OF MISIXESS
STOCKS AND BONDS.
New York. July 10. 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.
The range of today's prices for the ac
tive stock of the New York stock mar
ket are given below. The quotations are

"Why doesn't he prescribe for him
self?" "Great Scott! He can't afford lt."-Chl-cago

Examining Physician (for Insurance
company) I'm afraid wo can't take you,
sir. You are too groat a risk.
Applicant (resignedly) Well, perhaps I
