It was dune In u moment. Instinet

mill the lane lielns nurrow I fell
emilnst the wall before 1 rntiltl sternly
myself. As luck would have It. how
ever, that which should have de
stroyed me was my salvation. 1 hap
pened to hit the wall wher- u doorway

en under the Impact, and 1 fell in
wards. I nllKlited. in darkness, on my
luinils and knees, heurd a stilled yelp
as of a loif. and In a second, thmiKlt I
could see nelhlnu;, was up and had the
dunr slosnd hehind me.
Then, und not till then. I listened,
limiting and breathless, and heard the
hunt bo raving Ihrotmli the lane, and
the noise die In the distance, until only
tile beatlliK of my heart bloke the
close silence of the room In which I
stood. When thin had lasted a minute
or two. 1 Itemm to peer ulioiii und won

lalclrand escape. As I did so the bun

Inoved in my arms.
I almost dropped It, anil then held It
from me with a swift movement of re
pulsion. It ntirred again: it was warm.
In an instant the truth Mashed on me.
It was ii child!
Hot uh I had been before, the sweat
rose on tne at the thought. For I saw
again the man's face of livid terror,
and nuessed that he had stolen the
child, and I feared the worst, lie had
taken the rabble hooting at my heels
for the avengers of . . and hud been
only ton thankful to rid himself of the
daiuniiiK fact and escape!
And now I had It. and had as much,
or more, to fear. For an instant the
Impulse to lay the parcel down, and
(slide out. and so lie clear of it. was
hlioiik upon me. And that 1 think
Is what tiie ordinary man. however
brave, would huve done, lint for one
OiitiK. I was iles'ienttc. 1 knew not,
tvhen outside, w hither to git or where to
Have myself; and for another, my
rlerk'H wils were already busy show
ing nie how. with luck. I iiiIk Ii t use the
occasion and avoid the risk, might dis
cover the parents and. without suffer
lug for the theft, restore the child.
Ileyoutl that I saw a vista of pardon,
in I m -n t and reward!
Suddenly the- iIok whined ukuIii,
rlose to me, and that decided me. I
had found the latch already, and now I
warily drew the door open and in a
moment I was In the I:itih. Inokiiii; up
and down. I saw iinihlnij to alarm
me.durkness had completely fallen, no
;.ne was moving, the neighborhood
jeemed In be of the ipiielesl. I made
Vip my mind to lule the bold course.
To return ut all ha.firds to St. A nt nine,
Seek my falher-ln-luw at the jrntt' of
lie PaliilH Koyal-Where he had the
JIkIiI turn and throw the child and
uaysrlf on his protect loll.
Without doubt it was the widest
course I could choose; anil as in those
1ay the streets of Paris, even in the
district of the Louvre und Palais Hoy
nl, were ill-llKliti'd. and a network of
iHiies und dark conns eiierouched on
the most fashionable . parts, and fa
vored secret ai'i-ess o them. I foresaw
no (treat illlliculty. short of the moment
When 1 liiiuhl st;inil out In tile lighted
Indue and il, It'll my iiiks. I '.ut my
evil star was above the horizon. I
bad scarcely reached the end of the
lane, and was still hesitating there,
uncertain which way to turn for the
shortest fotirse, when a babel of voices
broke on my ear, lights swept around
a distant corner, ami I found myself
thvt aleii.ed willl a new dunner. I did
not wail to consider whether this band,
with their torches and weapons, had
tniKlit to do with me my nerves were
hluiken. the streets of Paris were full
nf terrors, every coiner had n pallowH
for me but I turned and. Ileeinir back
the way 1 had come, made a hurrh d ef
fort to find the house which hud shel
tered I1H. Failing. In one or two trials,
mid seeing that the light1 were realty
comiuK that way, and that in a mo
lie lit I must he discovered. I spranff
. m-ioss the lane ami dived Into the ulley
by which the child-stenler had van
Ished. I hail not taken ten steps before
something, unseen in the darkness, trip

mini. In the fall my burden rolled
from my arms und was instantly
snail heil up by a dark figure, w hich,
rising a if by magic beside me. was
roll" into the gloom almost us iiiickly.
1 got up limping and Hung a curse after
both; but the lights already sluuie on
the month of the alley, ami I had no
time to lose If I would not be detected.
I set off running down the passage,
turned to the left at the end, and along
a lane, thence Into another lane and a
wider road; nor did I stop until I had
left all signs and sounds of pursuit be
hind nie.
The place In which I came to a stand
lit last was a piece of waste land, ap
parently In the suburbs of the city.
High up on the left 1 could discern n
light or two, piercing the gloom ofthe
Bky, and knew that they shone from the
windmills of Montmnrtre. In every
other direction lay. darkness: desala
ttou swept by the night wind; silence
biyken only by the dismal howling of
far-inf v.uti Ii dogs.. I might have been
ten mile, from Paris.

no longer knew where I was; nor, had

through the night. I siuggereu 10 u,

off.
This at another time would have
scared nie to death, but I was so far
gone in wretchedness that I felt no
fear ami little surprise. 1 rolled away
without a word, anil curling myself up
at u distance of a few feet from my fel
low lodger, fell in a minute fast asleep.
When 1 awoke daylight, though the
sun was not up. was beginning to creep
Into the shed. I turned: every bone I
had ached; I remembered yesterday's
doings, und groaned. Presently the
hay beside me rusUeil, and over the
VTTEWNO AN OATTT OV T!A:K.
shoulder of the mass against which I
lay I niaile nut tin- fin f a man, peer
ing at nie. I felt a thrill of fear, and
stared buck, spell bound: I had not yet
broken with eVery habit of suspicion
nor coulil in a moment recollect that 1
had nothing but tags to lose, in silence
which neither again broke by so much
us a moment we waited gazing: while
the light in the mean hovel grew and
grew, and minute by minute brought
out more closely the others features.
At leimth I knew him, and utmost at
the same moment be recognized me und
uttering nil oath of rage, lose up us if
to spring ut my throat. Hut either be
cause I llid llol recoil -being too deep-si-l
in the buy to move or ror some
other reason, he only shook his claw
I.ko lingers at me. und held off. "Where
Is it, you dogV" lie cried, lindlug his
voice with an eiTnlt. "Speak, or I will
have your throat Flit. Speak, do you
hear? What luive you done with It'.'"
lie was the mull who had passed the
child to me! I watched him heeili'iilly.
und ul'ter a. moment's hesitation 1 told
him that it hail been taken from nie,
und when and where.
"And you don't know the man who
took It?" he screamed.
"Not from Admit. It was dark," I
said.
In his disappointment and rage, at
ri Iving this answer. I thought that
he wonlil fairly fall upon me; but he
only choked and swore, and then stood
scowling, the picture of despair, un
til, some new thought pricking him, he
threw up his urniM again and cried out
afresh: "t Hi, inon Dleii. what a fool I
was!" he screamed "What a craven
I was! I had a fortune In my hands. In
my hand.-, fool, und I threw It away!"
I thought bitterly of my own case I
was not much afraid of hint now; 1 be
gan to think that I umlerst I him.
"So hud I. yesterday morning," I said.
"Von ure In no worse case than others."
"Yesterday morning?" he exclaimed.
"No. last night. Then, If you like, you
hud. Hut yesterday morning? For
tune ami you, Kyurecrow! t!o hang
you rself!"
lie looked gloomily at me for n mo
ment with his nrms crossed on his
chest and his face darkly set Then,
"Who are you?" he asked curtly.
I told him. When he leurncd that the
"STAY!" HK Ili:i), PANTINU.
ruilile that had alarmed him had in
fact been pursuing me, so that his
fright hud bn groundless, he broke
Into fresh execrul ions, ami those so
violently that I begun to feel a sort of
contempt for him. und even plucked up
spirit to say that he seemed to be in
us evil case as I was.
He looked at me askance. "Aye, ns It
turns out." he s;iid grimly. "Put see
the difference, hliot. You are u poor
fool, beaten from pillar to post; I
played for a great stake. I have lost;
I have lost." lie continued, his voice ris
ing almost to a yell, "and we are both
in the g-utter. Hut If I hud won if
I had won, man "
He did not tlni.sh the sentence, but
Hung himself down on his face in the
hay and bit and torelt in his passion.
A moment I viewed him with contempt,
and thought him a poor creature for a
vlllinii. Then the skirt of his coat,
curling over an he grovelled and
writhed, disclosed something that
turned my thought) In another channel,
.'rushed under his leather girdle was a
little cape, or "a ffarnient of that kind,
of velvet, to lustrous that It shone
where I saw it. as the eyes shine In a
toad. Nor ii only: before he rolled over
nml hid it. I spl-l embroidered on one
corner of the velvet a stiff gold crown!
I barely i pressed a cry. fold. damp,
aching. I felt the heat run through me
like wlno. A crown! A little purple
cape! Then last night last night. I
had carried the king! The king of
France in my arms!
I no longer found it hard to tinder-
Btund the. mail's terror uf yesterday, or
his grief and despair this morning, lb
had Indeed played for u great stake am
risked torture und the wheel, and Ion'
and lost!
1 looked at him with new eyes, and t.
sort of wonder; and had scarcely time
to compose my face when, the parox
ysm of his fury past, he rose and. look
ing at me askance.-to nee how I took his
grovelling, asked nie sullenly whither
1 was going.
"To monselgneur's," I said cunningly.
Hud 1 answered "To the Palais Itoyal,"
he would have suspected me.
"To be beaten again? he sneered.
I said nothing to that, but asked him
whither he was going.
"'od knows!" he said.
When we went out. however, he ac
companied me; und we slunk silently,
like the pair of night birds we were,
through bines and alleys until we were
fairly In town again. Hy that time the
sun wus up and the market people were
beginning to enter the city. Here and
there 1 found curious eyes on me; and
thinking of the company 1 wus in. I
trembled, und wondered that the alarm
was not ubroud and the bells proclaim
ing us from every tower. 1 wus more
than content, therefore, when my com
panion halted before u smalt, mean
door in a blind wall, over against an
other small, mean door In a like wall.
"Do you stuy here?" 1 said.
He swore churlishly. "What Is that
to you?" he said, looking up and down,
"tin your way, idiot."
1 was glad to affect a like Ill-humor,
shrugged my shoulders, und lounged
on without looking back. Hut my brain
wus on tire. The king, the four-year-old
king! What was I to do? To whom
to go with my knowledge? And then
even then, while I paused hesitating, 1
heurd steps running behind me, and
tun red to II ml him at my elbow, his face
pule but his eyes burning and his whole
demeanor changed.
"Stay!" he crid, panting, and seizing
nie by the breast of my shirt. The man
who tripped you up, fellow you did
not see him?"
"It wus dark." I answered, curtly.' "I
told you 1 did not know hlni from
Adam."
"Hut hud he" h"e gasped, "you
heurd him run away was he lame?"
1 could not repress an exclamation.
"Par Mleu!" I said. "Yes, I had for
gotten that. He was. I remember I
heard his feet go cluck-cluck, cluck
cluck us he ran."
His face became burning red and he
stuggered. If ever man was near dy
ing from blood in the head, it wus that
nun! Hut in a moment he drew u long
breath, and got the better of it, nodded
to me, and turned away. 1 marked,
however, for I stood a moment, watch
ing, tliut he did not go buck to the
dour at which I had left him; but ufter
looking round once and espying- me,
touk a lane on the right and disap
peared. To be continued,

"There wus an indignant bicycle
agent in the city station of the Dela
ware und Hudson Canal company tills
morning," tays the Carboudale Jleruld.
"He has two trunks, the aggregate
weight of which is less than Urn pounds.
According to arrangements of all rail
road companies baggage to the extent
of l.",0 pounds Is transported with each
ticket, but this agent had to pay for
Ids bicycle as excess baggage. He says
that Is his sample and should be curried
the same as socks or shirts or any other
samples of traveling men. He argued
that if lie should pack his bicycle bug
full of clothing or some other kind of
samples, there would be no excess bag
gage charge. This Is a question the
railroads may be called upon to settle."
Not many people are aware of the
ditllciilty encountered In making a per
fect chime whistle for a locomotive. The
Coluuibus Dispatch described the meth
od of making such whistles at the Pan
handle shops as follows: To make one
of the whistles if requires twenty-one
separate castings. The most dillicult
one to make properly Is the bell, or
whistle part of it. It Is twelve inches
in height und divided into three cham
bers with partitions between each !l-:!2
of an Inch in thickness. To make one
of these It requires a great deal of care
on the part of the workman, and six of
them is n good day's work.
