no THE SCRANTON TRIBUNE-SATURDAY, JANUARY 12, 1001". UKJOoUKKnKn:KnuMK3UKnnKKi A Frenchman's Blunder. f 1 DOROTHY MARTIN, IN t. "IIUY HAD been very happy to 1 KPtlicr that ftesh nprliiRtliiic Sm the young KhriIhIuiuui, who was npparently cntlioly tuken up with Rolf, and iv Rlrl of elRhteen, n usual companion upon the HnkH. He was fond of Rolf, and she lllccil uothlnR butter, and In that small hotel In the south of Trance, where they both weie staylnR, nothing was more natural than that they should become acquainted. There was no troublesome eldeis lo Intorfcie with this acquaintances hlch Rradually riow Into something moio. so that bright spilngtlme was a period of bliss to Ouy Donlngton and little nachel Hcibert. Ho was a young barrNter spending his holidays on the southern const ot France, She was the only daughter ot an old Indian who spent hli life In ttavel, and who foigot to keep a pioper watch over his pretty daughter at the small Ficnch hotel. Hltheito cerythlng bad gone very smoothly with them, but Just when Ouy was going to tell Mr Herbert about his love for Itnclicl their peace and happiness was suddenly Inteiiiipt ed. It was one evening during the long table d'hote. Ouy, happy, foitu nato Ouy, who was spoken ot at home as having been born under a lucky star, saw three persons sitting at the Hotberts' dinner table. The thlttl was a sti anger, a lively Kienrhman, el dently an old ft lend of Mr. Hei belts Rachel In her white frock, looking ex asperatlngly pretty, was laughing and ci.attlng with him. Ouy scowled acioss at their table, then bit his nails In des peration when Hachel made the new comer laugh and look at her with un disguised admiration. He knew that she was true to him, yet he hated to see another man ndmltc her, and he longed for one smile or one look from his love to reassure him of her fidel ity. The most cautious young man tin own caution to the winds when he Is In love, and behaves often In a most un restrained manner, while his mistress keeps her head through nil dllllcultles, is cool and self-possessed at the most critical moment, and so makes a love affair prosper and succeed when alt might have failed without her calm discretion. Such was the case with Guy and Rachel. Guy, generally a most sensible and discreet young man, was fast losing his usual self-command at this Hist sign of alarm, and nearly spoilt eeiy thlng by coughing and fidgeting In the hope ot attracting Rachel's attention. Rut she was nn atom afraid of her fa ther, who nt present was Iguotant ot her affairs and she continued to laugh and talk with the Frenchman, and cruelly Ignored those most obvious signs at the end of the loom, fearing that their plans might bo overthrown If her father guessed the truth before the morrow, when Ouy Intended to bTeak It to him with all duo respect and good sense. In the salon after dinner Ouy grew perfectly desperate when he found that Rachel was still amusing the newcomer. Mr. Herbeit sat content edly watching his daughter, reeling that ho was not wanted Guv pushed hack his chair from the table where ho had been drinking his coffee and habtlly left the room, with a last frown at his ilval. The Frenchman looked up at him as he passed out Into the hall. He noticed the young man's ex pression of discontent nnd annoyance No doubt Guy's behaviour In the din ing room had not been lost upon him A look of malicious amusement and triumph crept Into his daik, sallow face, and he turned away and began to talk to Rachel with renewed vigor. The large salon grew hotter and hot ter: tho noisy laughter and talk never ceased. Presently Rachel bade her fa ther and his friend good night and crept quietly from .the room. The Fienchman watched her movements with his keen eyes. "My f i lend," he said, when she had left the room, "you must keep your eyes open, or you will have your daughter mairjing that young Eng lishman. The truth Is I have a mind to wed her myself. She Is ptetty enough to reign In my chateau and to shine In Parisian society. What say you, my friend?" Mr. Herbert looked pleased. M Petljcnn was very rich, and he seemed to him a most eligible suitor for his daughter. Happy Home. Happiness must be founded on health. Where there is ill -health there will rurely be unhappiness.

In tho meantime Ouy was slowly taking down his coat In the hall, when a light hnnd was placed upon his aim and a voice very dear to him said: "Ouy, what Is ItV Something has put you out. Tell me." He looked down Into the sweet face nt his elbow. "Come for a stroll," he said. "Hero Is my coat. I will help you Into It." So they passed out of tho hotel to gether. A wind was blowing from the sea, and they turned away from It down the nnrrow, sheltered street. Theie was no moon, but It was not a dark night; a star or two shone over head, and Ouy and Rachel paced nrm-In-nnn thtough tho little town content to be together. Hut a dark figure, un tcpn by both, followed them nt a dis tance, occasionally hiding behind a piojectlng buttress, or ct coping cau tiously across tho road to avoid u gas lamp or a passer-by. Suddenly Guy stopped. He held both Rachel's hands In his. "My dear," he said, passionately, "you will be ttue to me? I feel tonight as If all will not go so smoothly with us as we wish. I feel as If tumbles lay ahead, yet you will tiust mo al ways, Rachel?" "Ves," she mui muted, almost fright ened at his earnestness. "And whateer dllllcultles at Ise yon will still be true? You will ballevo In me, say It, Rachel, always?" . She gently lepeated the word. Ho looked relieved. "I believe you," he said, walking on again. "You can ti list me, dear," She drew closer to him with teais In her eyes. She could not speak Just then, und the daik, stealthy figure still followed, watching their every move ment, until they reached tho hotel. "Tomonow 1 will speak to your fa ther without fall, Rachel. I would have spoken before, but I was a cow ard, afiald of disturbing our bliss" He kissed her there, In tho dim light, where they thought no one would see. It wns a quiet good-night, nlmost sad In Its eamestness. Rachel inn Into the hotel. Ouy, feeling more nt ease, went and stood by the ssn. He took out a cigarette, struck a match aud lighted It, then putted gently at It, gindually growing more calm. The sea lay at his teet a great, black, rolling mass, with a white line ot waves beating regularly upon tho shingle. He watched a few moving lights far away from the land, then a volie broke suddenly into his reetle. "Hallo, old fellow, what ate you do ing here?" It wns a golfing friend of Guy's, an Hngllshmnn, who, like himself, wat taking an evening stroll. Noy a few das back these two young men had had a lather seveio altet cation on the cliffs over an impor. tant golf question. A gendnime and a few passeis-by had watched with in terest the hot-tempered young Jngllsh nien, who had not been able lo make up their quarrel, but had parted with Indlgnnnt wotds. The oulookeis haa shaken their heads gravely, wondeilng what would be tho end of such a violent quiii i el. His anxiety nbout Rachel made Ou long for sjmpathy from almost bis only Rnglish friend In that fotelgn tpwn; so anxious to fotglve and foiget, he said his ft lend: "Come for a walk, Rivers." Martin Rivers had a kind heart. He knew by the tono of his friend's voice that something wns tumbling him, so he muttered lather gruflly: "Shako hands, old fellow; you have something on your mind. Let us see If I can help you In any way." Guy willingly shook his Mend's hand, nnd they left the sea and walkea silently through tho town. That dark figure still followed them. They passed away from the houses on the edge of the cliff. Relow them wns the sea, and all nbout them lay gorse bushes, golden and heavy with blossoms, de noting their piesence In the dim light by a rich, peach-IIke scent. Tho daik figure came to a standstill behind a gorso bush. Then Guy pouted out his troubles to his friend, Martin Rivers. "Mat tin," he said, slightly raising his voice above the noise of the waves, "I believe that she and I nre meant for eneh other. Surely nothing can ever part us." His friend was about to unswei him Thete was a moment's stillness, then a sound of the leport of a firearm, some smoke, a Hush ot light, a whizzing sound through the air, a cry of pain, and Mnrtln Rivers was lying stretched upon tho ground Guy stood perfectly still for a moment. He took one hasty look around, but no one was In sight. Hi bent dwn by his friend's still form. "Martin," he tried, "old chap, what has happened? Ale you badly huit.'" No answei The little wnves still lapped and cooed and whlspeied umong themselves below, and a fnint wind 1 untied through the goise bushes, (in stiuck a match and held It near his filend's face. "Good God"' he exclaimed "He Is dend'" The bullet had enteied at n vital point, and the dark eaith beneath his head was drenched with blood. Then a sott of frenzy ennm over Guy. Ho wns young and inexpeilenced. The sudden blow wns too gieat for him. He did not realize, he could not under stand that his friend wns dead. Ho tubbed the cold hands, ho un fastened the wet collar, ho did all In his power for him. "I must go for help," he said aloud, stuggerlng to his feet. At last realization began to creep into ins mum as no stood looking down upon tho awful stillness of tho pros tiato tlgtiie, and a feeling of agony seemed to cut right Into his hcatt. "I shull be suspected," ho muttered, "because of that quarrel, and no one knows that wo mado It up tonight. They will tall mo the mutdeicr, I have the murks of blood upon my hands. They will not believe my words when I suy I am an Innocent mnn. I had better dlo too. My poor Rachel! My love! My love!" Then he stood upon tho veiy edge of the cliff looking down upon the daik water. What could be easier than to die there nt once, alone und unseen? Would not his death prevent nn In finite amount of pain nnd uneettnlnty both for Rachel and himself? Then he glanced up to the sky, and he saw a gentlo, crave star looking straight down upon him. It brought a vision ot Rachel's sweet, pure face to his mind. She had promised to trust him always; she had repeated tho word over to him many times. Great sobs shook his frame. "I will not bo a coward," ho said. "I will nt least do what I can to free myself from the false accusation which Is sure to fall upon me. I will get away. I will leave tho place at once. I will tell them first nt that cottage near that thcro Is a dead mnn's body to be burled." Guy had seen very little of tho dark side of life. This was the first great crisis, the first real pain that ho had ever known, nnd It wns fast bringing out the noble side of his character. He determined to net so us to save nnother from as much pa'ln as possible. llv turned away fiom tho sea, but tho minutes had flown. Ho wns too late! Steps were coming down tho road from the town; lights nnd voices, the regular tramp of feet nnd tho clanging of s words were fast drawing near. Guy's first impulse was to run In the opposite direction, but he stopped him self nt once. "if I fly nnd they chase me like a fox or a harp they will at once think mo guilty. ?o, I will walk quietly toward them and tell them what has happened. I nm Innocent, and I must not net the part of a murderer." The steps prew quite close, nnd four gendaimes stopped In fiont of him. "Monsieur." said tho olllcer of the party, "a gentleman who wns on this load a few minutes ngo has Just sent us here. He heard a shot fired and a cry. He said he saw you shoot and then thtow tho revolver over the cliff. Monsieur, ho desctlbed your figure to inc. and suiely It Is you 1 saw quar lellng n few days ngo on tho cliffs with nnother Kngllshmnn?" "I have seen no one," said Guy. "I am an Innocent mnn, Theie is the dead body. A shot was fired suddenly when I was standing by him on the edge ot tho cliff. What gentleman in formed you of this?" "Monsler, I do not know ; u stranger, possibly a traveler passing by this spot on his way between two towns. Piobably ho wns seeking a night's shelter In one of our hotels; he was horrified, he directed us to come heie." The gendarme bent down over the still form. "And heie Is the mails of the bullet," he said, "and, Mon Dleu! I lecognlze, without doubt, tho same gentleman with whom ou weio qunrrellng tho other day, and wo find you her, ns the gentlemnn descilbed. I fear It will bo a hard case for you, monsieur, a very hard case, you will come with us at once." "Ceitnlnl," Mild Guy. "I must coma with nu, but I am Innotent. thank God' i nm an innocent man." Two of tho men stopped behind with the body, the others maichcd one on each side of Guy down the lonely toal and through the town. "Stop." ciled Guy, with a look of ngonv on his face ns they passed the hotel fncing tho sen; ho teillzed how haul his enso would be. T'nlrss the true culprit chose to rotno forward he, Guy, was sure' to be accused as the muideior of his friend. Ho hoped for Justice, for a ttinl which would result In his Innocence luimr piovol, nnil ,ct ho saw, as the olllcer of th" gendaimes had, said, said It would bo a bind case, a veiy haid eae. "I must leave a message, a note, anything forfor out whom I lov. You will not deprive me or this one comfort'" Guy felt for paper and pencil. He had only a pencil In dipeiatloii h Inio off his culf and wioe n few Words upon It. "To be glvin to Mls Rachel Hei beit. "A- had thing has happened to me, daillng. I am wrongly accused of a wicked action. I tiust all will com light. Tiust me. dear one. as you promised; your belief In my innocence will be my one comfort ami support. God bless on and help us both. From Guy." The olllcer calmly read tho hastily wiltten llne, thn hnnded the cuff to the porter at the door of tho hotel. The little procession passed on un der Rachel's window anil it terilbl- weight of Rile! scnied to bow down Guv's spirit and to chill his veiy heart. CHAPTER H. She had been ciulslng In tin- Medlt cuanean nbout the Italian coast, that gay little yacht with her white sails nnd graceful movements. Her be havior had been peiftct for many dnys, but one fatal evening she forgot nil her past good leputatlon and hope-les-sly sullied It by catching fire. She lay far ftom land, gently lUing up and down upon the swell, with flnmes flying up from her cabin nnd teirlble panic on board. They did what they could for her, but was nil of no use Tho passengers and (tew had been obliged to take to fuge In the small bouts and to leave hor to her fate. It was a quiet even ing, with Just a soft tegular breez coming from tho land, thp sea was still and blue, a very dnrk blue, Just nfter tho sun hnd set. It had lpft a red glow In the western sky, and the bravo little yacht, which had dono good set vice to her owner, wus rapld lv binning. The nngiy flames leaped out scavMiids, and n lurid light shona upon those who had escaped from the ilto In the boats. lr one of them lay u sick man- a binning beam had fallen upon hi in and fatally Injured him. Ho was the owner of thp yacht, nnd row ho wns dying, and likely to pass uwav very soon, peihupn nt the samo moment as his vessel in the bows sat an oldish man nn.l a young girl watching the burning acht. It wns Rachel Ileibeit and her father. Almost Immediately after tho an est of Guy Dorrlngton, M. PetlJean had persuaded Mr. Herbci t and his daugh ter to go for a cruise with him In his yacht. Mr. Heibeit had gladly agreed to the plan, and this wns Hip pnd of It tho owner of the vessel was dying, nnd the pretty little yacht her self was also fast passing away. And Rachel, poor hioken-hearted Rachel, she was passing through great tiouble. Guy was now In prison after his trial, awnltlng his fate. M. Petit Jean hnd given his evidence against him, and he had been found guilty. A Skin of Doauty Is o Joy Forever.

Guy wnn to dlo far nway from her, and yet sho trusted him; she had written to tell him so. Sho would have gladly died on tho burning yacht, but tho boats had been nt hnnd, and Rachel had been the first to be lifted Into one of them. She sat now In the bows, pale, still, nlmost stunned with grief. "Rnchel, M. PetltJcnn wishes to speak to you; he Is very 111. I don't think he can live long." It wns Mr. Herbert speaking. He touched his daughter's arm. "Rnchel, go to him, poor fellow; ho Is dying, and Is very anxious to speak to you." Rnchel silently obeyed. She bent down close to the still form lying In tho bottom of the cont. She hated the Frenchman. Ho had come between her and her lover. He hnd given evi dence against him. How ho had man nged to do so sho could never mado out. She had refused to mnrry him, nnd yet he hnd still worried her nnd pained her beyond measure. "Rachel," gasped the Frenchman nlrcndy his face wote a death-like pal lor "I am very weak, but I will strug gle to Fav what I wish, what must bo said; I cannot dlo without telling the truth. I nm wretched now; ma. l'ol, why did I do that drendful deed!" The boat roe gently up nnd down bb she cut through the water towards the land, and Rnchel still thought of Guy In his solitude. "Rachel," gasped M. Potltjean, catching hold of tho gill's hnnd and holding It In a feeble, nervous grasp, "I am the murdeicr; I did It! It was Jealousy, child, my longing to have you as my wife, my little queen of the chnteau nnd of my riches, and 1 crept that night, thnt dark night, nf ter you nnd Guy Doi rlnglon. I watoh ed j on, I tracked your steps, then I stole along the cliff with my revolver. I meant the shot for Guy, but It misl ed and hit his companion. It was I, child, 1 tell you again 1 am tho tnui derer, and I sent the gendarmes to take him." Ho had raised his voice nnd his words peemed to pierce through tho gloom and weight of sorrow which had bowed down Rachel's fair head. "What do you mean?" sho nlmost screamed. "What have you done? Ouy Is suffering Instead of you; my Guy, my own darling' And now you ?re dying, and will not bo able to sot It light I O my God' Grent God In Heaven, have mercy, help us, oh, help us'" She was stnndlng up now In a per fect ugony of excitement, which was almost ns tenlble to witness as her previous hopelessness and despair. Then her own sweet common sens? hpomed suddenly lo leturn to hcrasho trembled still with exiitemi nt, but suiely her pinyer had been nnsweied, that wild, earnest ciy fiom the very depths of her soul. "You must vwite It all out," she said. In huriled tones. "My father and the sailors, there are two In the bo-it, they must, witness nil: ou nn very feeble. b quick oh, snv you will do If And f.u O Guy, you shnll be avcd' His end Is not far off, M. Pttltje.ui, but If we nre quick wo may yet rav him. We will do It, he shall be saved." It was doii". The dying man, with almost painful foice of will, feebly iliotanted a ftw llii"s showing thnt be 'ins the oulpill, thnt Guy was inno tent. Mi.

Kit-, tie spanows weie chirping and hop ping nbout his path, tho morning sun light was cieeplng acioss tho high, glim walls clown Into tho rloomy yaid, upon the little bluls nnd the (prisoner He smiled a veiy faint, sad mlle ns he watched the busy little cieatuies; bo thought they weie his last slrlr. ot life that beautiful, fresh, stiong lire, which he loved. All, how he lovo I it' Ho had tiled to subdue that groat love for It In his lonely cell, he had endeavored to look foiwatd bravely and chcei fully to the futuio, to tho other side ot tho gtave, but ho had not been successful In his struggle. Uc had never bcfoie lealled how much he loved and valued life. A hasty step overtook the melan choly piocesslon the spairows wore all put to lllght, nnd a panting, breathless messenger stood beside the w ardors. "Stop," he ci led. "The (pilsoner must not die, he will be leleased; fresh evidence, gieatlv In his favor, hns been suddenly brought to light." He uniolled nnd showed to the vvnrd eis nn ofllcial documont. Guy was led back to his cell, hardly knowing or icallzlng what had happened to him. Then that llfo to dear to him was not yet to be snatched uvvny from him, not Just) et. and he might think again of his love, perhaps ho might soon see her, nnd fresh hope gradual ly dawned upon him and seemed to lighten his pilson cell. Ho wns a fiee man once mon. Ho met Rachel outside the ptlson. Sho had traveled night and dny In order to save him; he had been nllowed one Interview with her just before his le lense. but now they were united, and their love was strengthened If that weie possible by the long, terrible separation. "I trusted you," muimuiod Rachel, testing her smnll white hands on Guy's shoulders. "You told me to trust you, and I did nil thtough, Guy, during those awful dnys too terrible to be spoken of- nnd father Is satisfied, dear, ho Is not against our plans." Guy could scarcely .speak. "My dear." he said, with a great sob of Joy shaking his colce, "then you can trust me, and believe In me al ways; you said that word before, Rachel, and It has been mv comfort tbiough weeks of pain and rot row; will you sny It again, Just onco again?" Sho looked up nt him, a beautiful smile shining through her tears. "Darling, always," she lnut muted. "Yes, always." GUNNER'S MATE TO ADMIRAl.
