Hut that mortilnfc. that very morn ing. I was to leu ni that who climbs may fall. I went below at the usual hour; at the usual hour munseianeur left, attended, for the council: pres ently all the house was In an uproar. My lord had returned and called for Prosper. I fancied that 1 caught even then something: ominous in the Found of my name as it passed from lip to lip, lind I hastened, scared, to the chamber. Hut fust as 1 went I did not ita fast enoUKh; one thrust me on this Hide, another on that. The steward cursed me, the head clerk stormed at mo, the secretary waited for me at the door, and BcissinK me by the neck ran me Into the room. "In, rascal. In I" he growled In my ear. "and 1 hope your skin may puy for it !" Naturally by tills time I was quak ing. Monselgneur's looks finished me.

"Do you hear his grace speak to you? An swer!" "My lord." I cried, plteously. "I have done nothing! Nothing." Nothing?" half a dozen echoed. "Nothing!" the head clerk added, bru tally.. .

I doubled llge a hare; more than once I knocked half a dozen men down; but I was fast growing ex hausted, when some one more prudent or less cruel than his fellows, opened the gates and I darted into the street. I was sobbing- with rage and pain, dripping, ragged, and barefoot some rogue . had prudently drawn off my shoes in the scullle. It was a wonder that 1 was not attacked and chased through the streets. Fortunately op posite my lord's gates opened the mouth of a little alley. 1 plunged into it. and in the lirst dull corner dropped e- hauted ami lay panting In the mud I who had risen so happily a few hours before! I who hud climbed so high: 1 who had a wife new-married In my garret ut home! I do not know how long I lay there, now cursing the jeahujsy of the clerks. who would have ftaved nie to save themselves, ami now the cruelty of the grooms, who thought it line sport to whip a scholar, lint the tlrst tempest of passion had spent Itself, when a woman not the lirst whom my plight had attracted. Hut the others had mere ly shrugged their shoulders and passed on paused before me. "What a white skin!" she cried, nuiklmr great eyes at me. And then: "You are not a street -prowler. How come you here, my lad'."' I wa silent, ashamed to meet her gaze. She stood a moment staring nt ine curiously. Then: "Uetter go home," she sult, shaking her head sedately. "Or those who have robbed you may end by worse. I doubt this is what comes of raking and night work. !o home, my lad," she repeated, and went on her way. Home! The word raised new thoughts; 1 scrambled In my feet. I had a home the bishop might deprive me uf it;' but I hud also a wife, from whom, Uud only could separate ine. I felt a sudden lire run through me at thought of her, uud of all I had suffered since I left her arms; and with new boldness I turned, and, sore and uchlng as 1 was, stumbled batik to the place ol my shame. The steward nnd two or three of his underlings were standing in the gate way ami saw me come up: and began to jeer. The high gray front of moii-seigneui-'s hotel, three sides of a sipiare, towered up behind them; the steward sprawled his feet apart and set his hands to his stout sides, and jeered at me. "Here is the lame leper from the Pour des Miracles!" he cried. "Have a care or he will give you the evil!" "(lood sir. the swill-tub Is open," cried another. "Help yourself!" A third s;mt ut nie and bade ine be gone for a pig. The passers there were always a knot of gazers opposite my lord of lieauvais' palace In those days, when he had the queen's ear and bade fair to succeed Klcheliell stayed to stare. "I want my goods!" 1 said, trembling. "Your goods!" the steward answered, swelling out. his brawny chest, and smiling at me over it. "Your goods in deed! Hegonc. und lie thankful you have escaped so well." "(Jive me my things from try room," I said stubbornly; and 1 tried to enter. He moved sideways so us to hjock the passage. "Your goods? They are monselgneur's." he said. ".My wife, then!" He winked. "Your wife," he said. "Well. true, she is not monselgneur's. Hut she will do for me." And with a coarse luiiL.ii he winked again nt the crowd. At that the pent-up rage T had stemmed so lung broke out. He stood a head taller than I, but with a scream 1 sprang ut his throat, and, with the very surprise of the attack, got hint down and beat his face with my lists. Ills fellows, as soon as they recovered from their astonishment, tore nie off; but by thut time I hail so marked him that the blood penned down his face. He scrambled to his feet, naming and furious, his oaths tripping over one an other. "To the Chatalet with him!" he cried, spitting out a tooth and glaring at me through the mud on his face, "lie shall swing for this! He tried to breaK in! I call you to witness he tried to break in!" - "Ay, to the Chainlet! To the Chat alet!" cried the crowd, siding with the stronger patty. He was my lord of I SPUANO AT HIS THROAT. lieauvais steward; I was a gutter-snipe and ilangi-roiis. A dozen hands held me tightly, yet hot so tightly but that a coach passing at that moment and di'iv ing us all -to the -wall, 1 managed by a jerk- I was desperate by this time, and tierce asa wildcat, to snatch my self loose, and in n second was speed ing down St. Antoine with the hue and cry behind me. 1 have said I was desperate. In an hour Hie world was changed for nie. In an hour I had broken with every tra dition of safe and modest life; nnd from n sleek scribe become a ragged outlaw Hying through the streets. I saw the gallows. I felt already the lush sink like molten lead into the culvcrlng buck: I forgot all the danger. I lived only on my feet, and with them made superhuman efforts. Fortunately the light was failing, and In the tlrst dash 1 distanced the pack by a dozen yards; passing the front of the I'alais Hoyul so swiftly that the riueen's guards, though they ran out at the alarm, were too lute to Intercept me. Thence I strained in stinctively, and, with the cry of pursuit In my ears, toward the old hiidtrr in tending to cross to the Cite, where f knew nil the lanes: but the bridge was ularmed; the Chatalet seemed to yawn for me they were just lighting the brazier ti front of the gloomy pile and dm bling back, while the ail roared will shouts of warning I shot bv my pursuers and sped down the nar row ltue.de ia Chaussee. with the hue and cry hard at my heels. I had no plan now only terror added wings to my feet: nnd the end of thut street gained, I darted blindly down an other, and yet another, with straining chest and legs that began to fall, and always In my oars the yells that rose around me as fresh pursuers joined In the chase. Still I kept ahead. 1 was even gaining; another turn, and with night thickening, I might hope to eg- caiie. if I could baffle those- who from time to 1 1 ni.- liu t in u half-hearted way. not knowing If 1 were armed tiled to Mop nie or trip ine up. Suddenly turning a corner. I had gained a iuiet part where blind walls lined the alley 1 found a man run ning before me. At the same instant the posse In pursuit quickened their pace In a last effort; 1 In answer put forth my last strength, and in a dozen paces I came up with the man. He turned to me, our eyes met; desperate myself, I read equal terror In his, but before I could reason on the fact, he bent himself forward as he ran, and with a singular movement. Hung par cel he carried Into my arms, and, wheel ing abruptly, plunged Into an alley on his left. (To Be Continued.) PROFESSOR 10LKS FOR MARCH. From Storms and Sign. The gaseous matter that had been passing over the sun for the past four months cutting oft our regular sup ply of sunshine passed away from the sun last month upon the very day that we had predicted it would and caused tornadoes and storms unprecedented. In our Storm and Sign Calendar In Storms and Signs we had a "Tornado Signal" displayed Just twenty days in advance of the New York and Wash ington weather bureau's forewarning. The diameter of the storm area was at least It.iKH) miles. And the center had so arranged Itself that New York city and vicinity felt the worst of it. as we predicted it would, in last month's fore cast. 'The reactionary waves of that storm will be felt along the seacoast simetime between the 1st and lath of this month and will do great damage in many sections. Strange weather will predominate during the whole mouth: While It may be snowing In one sec tion of the country thunder showers will uppeur In another not far distant, und while the sunshine Is making sum merlike days in one state, as It were, blizzards will be howling In the next. Strange pheiiomeuotis und explosions will occur in the heavens again this month. A strange electrical phenom enon will occur somewhere in the north ern part of New Jersey, southern part of New York or on the I'acillc Coast, as a strong electric current has been run ning from the port beast to the south west for twenty-three consecutive days, and yhen the reaction sets In the ele ments will war, und the great iron mag nets of New Jersey or the big valleys toward the I'acllls slope will be where the clectiical currents will ground, If grounded on land. If they plunge Into some river or lake that lies along their route across the continent, then an enrtluiuake will be the result. The strange weather this month will be caused by the elements In their mad nidi to seek their equilibrium for, with the exception of the earth, moon and the Vulcan periods, March Is free from all the regular causes of dlsturbalii-HS. The regular Vernal equinox storm pe riod Is due on the List, but it looks now as though .March wus trying to trade places with April. This month will prove whether the "signs" rule the "vital forces" or whether the "vital forces" rule the signs. For, Karlli lb in sign Virgo (the virgin) opposed by sign I'isces (the fishes), and the two combined Is symbolic of a mermaid and a mermaid loves water, hence great Hoods, storms, tornadoes, etc., should make March memorable; but the vital forces of all human and vegetable life are at "low ebb" this month over two thirds of the whole month, and they declare a phenomenal month colli, cleur. and dry. Kcauttful sunlit days will seem to rejoice at the freedom of the sun, strong gules will sweep over the country like mad. The Moon's eclipse shudow on the USth of last month passed over Kngland's dominion lit such a manner as will cause her to put on deep mourning In less than u year. When to Plant. Venus will be In sign Coiuicornus on the 1st; Mars will be In sign Capiicor lius on the 8th; Jupiter will be In the sign Leu on the Kith: Saturn will be in sign Scorpio on the -1st: I'tanus will be In sign Scorpio on the 28th. Therefore the vital forces of all vegetable and human life will be at their "highest flood" on the following dates: ii, ti. 14, l."i, 16. '.,-', T., I't and iTi; and at their "low est ebb1 on the I. 2, 3, 4, 7, X. , la. 11. II'. l:t 17. IS, 1H. 21. 20. 27. 2S. 2!l. 30 and 21. The low ebb ligures having the major ity by over two-thirds. This foretells (lie coining of trouble, an epidemic In nature. For this reason cabbage seed must be sown on the last day of this month or the tlrst of April In order to have plants free from epidemic germs. Tomato seed must be sown on the 24th or 2iith. Flower seeds may be sown at any time when the vital forces are at their highest Hood, but never when they are at their lowest ebb. These vital forces are scientific facts gleaned from years of hard, laborious research, und before another year. If 1 receive the proper encouragement. 1 may be able to prove to you ail my theory, which is based and proven upon scleiitltlc grounds. It will be one of the greatest revelations of the nine teenth century, 1 can assure you. Try mv sign planting! Test Is for yourself! Send in reports und help u on In our investigations. PKOF. C.
