where the sherd had slipped, nml I
puffed out my cheeks to think that I
hud climbed so IiIkIi. IIIrIi? ' How

My bird of Hiauvuls. in whom all men

lord whose stately presence h'-amed on

of Kichelleii!
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.
He stood In the middle of the chamber,
ttimwlne; the nails of his left hand, and
Mil w led at me. his handsome face pale
and sullen. "Yes." he said, curtly,
"that Is the fellow;"
Wretch!',' the head clerk cried, seiz

I felt on my knees. Imbecile! Or
more likely he did It on nurnose."

"lie should he hunir un!" the stew
ard cried truculently, "before he does
further mischief. And If my lord will
give the word "
"Silence!" the bishop said, with a
dark glance at me. "What does he
plead '." .
The head clerk twisted my ear until
1 creamed. "Ingrate!" he cried. "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.. . "Nothing, and you added a ci

ami your lying pen led my lord to
Mate the population to be five millions
Instead of five hundred thousand!
Nothing, and you sent his gruce"s hlgrh

"Silence!" said the bishori. fiercely.
"Knough! Take him away and "
"Hang him!" cried the steward.
"No. rascal, but hove him to the
courtyard, and let the prooms Hop him
through the gates. And have a care,"
he continued, addressing me. "that I
do not see your face again, or It will be

I Hung myself down and would have

every, stroke. 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:

garret ut home!

now cursing the jeahujsy of the clerks.

grooms, who thought it line sport to
whip a scholar, lint the tlrst tempest
of passion had spent Itself, when a

had attracted. Hut the others had mere

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

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.

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.

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.

RAILROAD NOTfcS.
The Pennsylvania Kallroad company
has given out the contract for chang
ing the line on the middle division
eust of Duncannon. A large curve is
to be removed and the line straight
ened. A Lima special says a general Btrlke
may come on Luke Krle und Western.
Wages of car Inspectors have been cut.
A committee has gone to Indianapolis
to see general officers.' If they cannot
get redress they may try to tie up the
road.
If much more of the Atchlnson'8 mil
eage is lopued off, as was the Colorado
Midland recently, it will have to yield
the title o "the greatest railroad" to
the Pennsylvania company, which now
has 8.SS2 miles of lines, only 113 miles
short of the Atchison's milease.
Negotiations are reported to have
been concluded with New York and
F.ngllsh caol'alists to secure money to

said to be assured.
