f AT THE H0U3B OF THE SCARLET WITCH, f
By MAX PEMBERTON.
Copyright, 1897, by
PAItT I.
The Abbe Morellet heard the ring of
hoofs upon the dusty road behind him,
and Instantly stopped his long-suf-erlnu
white pony. He was a man of
alarms, was this good Abbe; and his
two servants, being dutiful servants,
wero for the occasion men of alarms
also. All three had heard strange
Htorles of the perils of those travelers
:nsh enough to venture after sunset
on the great western highway to Paris;
nil three had begun to regret the ne
cessity which had carried them from
the peaceful presbytery near Ramboull
let to the woods upon the outskirts of
the great city. Yet here they were at
8 o'clock of a. summer's evening still
three leagues from the capital, with
dark already threatening them, and
fill the tales of bogles and of robbers
rl-iglng In their ears like a passing
bell In the ears of "men about to be
lmnecd.
"It Is my opinion," said the Abbe,
nddrcsslng Francois, his valet, "It Is
my opinion that we nro followed by
the three young men who delayed us
at th6 Malson Rouge. I can see a cloud
of dust upon the horizon, and I 'count
three horses."
Francois, the valet, and Jean, the
sr6om, hastened In their turn to check
the asses which they rode nnd to In
spect the winding highway which they
had pursued with go many misgivings.
Being ready men, their tongues pres
enly wagged together, and they de
clared themselves willing to submit to
untold tortures If they also did not
see a cloud of dust upon the horizon
and count three horses.
"Saprlsti,'1 cried Francois, the valet,
"1 suspected those fellows from the be
ginning. What says the proverb, my
naster he who makes friends In an
nn has the devil for his comrade.
3ody of St. John! I was for going on
ps your reverence Is well aware."
Jean, the groom, who watched the
upproachlng horsemen with fearful
eyes, yet was unwilling to betray him
self, remembered now that he had
been for going on, too.
"Sacre bleu, your reverence!" cried
he, "If you rogues are not fqotpads, put
me in the pillory. Did you mark how
they kept their faces masked even
when they sat at meat? May ,1 be
Hogged If I ever heard of an honest
man who was afraid to show his nose
to his neighbor. We shall all be dead
men presently, rely upon It."
The Abbe, who nursed a secret sus
picion that the groom spoke the truth,
told him, nevertheless, to hold his
tongue. He consoled himself with the
thought that his personal property was
not worth a louls to any rogue; he
knew that he had but ten crowns in his
pouch; and those he would surrender
readily. Indeed, he began to frame a
little speech In which he determined
both to rebuke the robbers and to con
ciliate then. And this was still
troubling his mind when the three men
rode up at a gallop and began to par
ley with him. They were a strange
trio all dressed elegantly, all mount
ed upon horses which might well have
come from the king's stables. The
Abbe, stealing glances at them when
he lifted his eves a moment from his
breviary, did not fall to observe the
shining embroidery upon their vests
nor the rich ruffles falling delicately
upon their wrists, nor the diamonds
glistening upon their fingers. These
things had been hidden from him In
the dark room of the tavern at Sevres,
where the merry fellows had kept him
dallying loner over a bowl of claret.
Now he saw plainly that his pursuers
were men of quality, and that two of
them were singularly finely built, while
the third possessed a figure so slim and
delicately proportioned that It might
well have been the figure of a young
girl. But all three were masked as
they had been at the tavern and this
fact alone kept the Abbe's suspicions
alive.
"Sirs." said he, closing his breviary
with a sudden snap, "I observe that
you wish to speak with me."
"My Lord, the Bishop of Blols," be
gan the tallest of the men, while he
doffed his plumed hat with a gesture of
profound respect, "it Is evident to us
that you are a stranger upon the road
to Paris"
The Abbe Interrupted him with' a mo
mentary dibplay of Irritation.
"My son," said he, "I pray you ad
dress me by my own name and not by
that to which I have no title. It Is
.rue that the Bishop of Blols Is unhap
pily dead, but under no circumstances
Is It possible that so unworthy a suc
cessor should be found for the See as
the humble priest who has lately en
joyed your hospitality. I, gentlemen,
nm the Abbo Morellet, cure of the vil
lage of Yvette, a man with whom the
princes of the Church may well con
cern themselves but little. I go to
Paris now to -carry my ward Corlnne
you may know her as Mdle. de Montes
son, gentlemen to a convent of Bene
dictine nuns at Charenton. And heaven
forbid that I should aspire to such a
distinction as you have named."
He spoke with great dignity, being a
man accustomed to command in his
own little world. His manner was that
of one who has made an end of the
ItcMfiir, Irritated, scaly, crusted Bcilpi, dry, thin,
snd falling IUIr, clesnsed, jiurlfled, and beauti
fied bf warm sfismpods with CDTiccca 8oip,
and occasional dressings of Cutiouiu, purest of
emollients, the greatest skin cures.

argument; but the threa horsemen,
who maintained a fine gravity of de
meanor during the parley, would not
bo put off by 11; and they now held
their honest at the walk while tho lead
er answered the obstinate Abbe.
"My lord Bishop," said he, "I fear
you jest with us. We know you well,
and we are concerned to find you
abroad here at such an hour. Th'e
church has too few faithful servants
that one of the stoutest of her cham
pions should make himself a mark for
footpads. Dame, do you forget that
you are about to enter tho woods of
St. Cloud? and that It Is sunset?"
The Abbe looked surprised.
"Sirs," said he, "I have never rid
den to Paris but once before In all my
life; and whether this be St. Cloud or
another place, 1 am, Indeed, unable to
tell you. Yet for any warning or direc
tion you may be pleased to give me.you
will find a grateful listener. I am but
a simple priest, gentlemen, and I can
not think that any robber would stoop
to And a victim so unprofitable:
Heaven be my witness that I have nn
unpleasant duty to perform In the city
yonder. Authority, sirs, Is a physic
which the surgeon may hesitate to em
ploy, until both persuasion and coun
sel have been administered. Too long
have I been latlent the day for that
has passed. Even though the king him
self were to Intercede, my purpose
should bo delayed no more. Tomorrow,
gentlemen, all Paris shall hear that the
Hotel Beautrclllls Is closed and that Its
mistress, Corlnne, my ward, la safe
within the convent walls at Charen
ton." The Abbe was emphatic He brought
Ma pompous speech to a fitting close
with a cood thwack of tho cudgel,
nicely laid upon the pony's quarters.
His two servants.ulways imitative, laid
two sticks smartly upon the backs of
their as&es, and all began to ride at a
good trot toward the park of St Cloud.
As for the three horsemen.they seemed
to enjoy tho Abbe's company Immense
ly; and they kept close at his slde.whlle
merry glances passed between them,
nnd tho youngest of the three who had
the tlgure or a girl bent low, the bet
ter to escape observation. Thus they
came altogether to the summit of the
hill wherelrom they could see the thick
woods about the chateau of St., Cloud,
with the river Seine llowlng like a river
of blood In the valley, and Paris herself
away In the dlstance.the sunlight mak
ing mighty jewels of her domes and
towers, and shining with a deep crim
son from a thousand west-turned win
dows. Here, the three Grangers drew
rein, and one of them who had not
spoken before addressed the Abbo in.
a parting word.
"My lord Bishop," said he, regardless
of the Abbe's protests, "you 'go on a
bold task. There have been many be
fore this who have sought to stand be
tween Corlnne de Montesson and her
pleasures. Do you seek for those per
sons you will find them in all the pris
ons of Paris or gone to tho wars for
shame of their defeat. Beware how you
act then, and think yourself a lucky
man if you ride Into Paris at all. Nay,
I will wager you a thousand crowns
that thl3 time tomorrow night you
shall be very glad to see us and to get
back to Yvette with what speed you
may. Yon wood Is full of strange sights
and sounds, Monsieur; many a man
tf-ho has entered It at sundown has
been known no more when dawn has
come. Iook to your steps, I beseech
you; and heaven grant that the witches
of St. Cloud may respect the path of
the Lord Bishop of Blols."
He doffed his cap as the other had
done, and all three bowing with ready
grace, presently they set spurs to their
horses and disappeared at a gallop Into
the heart of the wood. The good Abbe,
who had been content at first to think
that some" mistake had led the'm to give
him so distinguished a title, now be
came very angry and not a little
alarmed.
"A plague on them and 'their Bishop
or iiiois as wen," cried he; "three tip
sy gallants, I will wager, ridden out
of the palace to point the linger at me.
I should not be surprised to hear that
Corlnne has sent them. It Is well known
that she Is a friend to footpads. Pos
sibly, she has saved them from tho gal
lows. But she shall gain nothing by
this. Though she fall on her knees bo
fore me, I will carry her to the con
vent. The day for mercy has passed."
The reflection pleased tho Abbe. He
had been made guardian of pretty
Corlnne de Montesson (who, as all the
world knew, was mistress of the Hotel
Eeautrelllls In Paris), upon trie death
of her father, the Count. For his part,
he would have sent her to a convent
at once, there to complete her educa
tion which, he thought, had been sadly
neglected. But the king had nut In a
word; and so Corlnne was left In her
great house to be the friend of all the
ne'er-do-wells In the city and to dis
grace, as the good Abbo said, the proud
position to which she had been called.
Had she" done anything for him per
sonally, his anger, possibly, would have
been more moderate. But, notwith
standing her professions of love, he
lemalned the simple cure of Yvtte
and there he had fretted two years
over his misfortunes. Then came the
tidings that Corlnne had helped tho
notorious Coq-le-Bol, the highwayman,
to escape from Sartlnes, tho new lieu
tenant of police. The news awoke the
Abbe to his old resolutions.
"I will go to Paris," said he, "and
place her with the good nuns of Char
enton. She is like a little wild an!
mul; her claws must be cut. I have
been merciful too long."

Cnro of the Ilyubrows.
Smooth, glossy eyebrows and long,
dark lashes add wonderfully to tho
beauty of a face, and women should
care for these necessary adjuncts to
their good looks. If tho brows are thin
nhd Ill-formed, rub pure greese or
vaseline or. them at night, and bath
them carefully in cold water In the
morning.. Never brush or rub the brow
morning. Never brush or rub the
brows the wrong1 way. Brush them
daily with a email eyebrow brush that
you can get at any good drug store, but
do not get Into the habit of "rubbing;"
it will roughen nnd break the hairs.
