Perhaps no word would be given me the escipe might already be accom plished, and I left here to my fate. Jtolsrondet knew nothing of my deci sion to accompany D'Artlgny In hi exile. If tlie way was difficult and dangerous, he might not consider It essential to communicate with me at II. De Tonty had promised, to be ure, yet he mlittit have fulled to o Instruct the younger man. I dune to the window, the agony of tbia possi bility driving me wild. Mon Dleu! wan that a noise over fcead? I could see nothing, yet, as t leaned farther out, a cord touched my face. I grasped It, and drew the dan irtlug end In. It was weighted with a tit of wood. A single coal plowed In the fireplace, anil from this I Ignited splinter, barely yielding me light enough to decipher the few words traced on the white surface: "Safe so far; have you any word?" My veins throbbed: I con!d have creamed In delight, or sobbed In sud den Joy ami relief. I fairly crept to the open window on hands and knees, animate,! now with but one thought, one hope the de-ire not to be left there behind, alone. I hung far out. my ff,-e upturned, staring Into the darkness. The distance was not great, only a few feet to the roof above, yet o black was the night that the edge abve me blended Imperceptibly agalnt the sky. I could perceive no movement, no outline. Could they have already pone? Was It possible that they merely dropped this brief message, and Instantly vanished? No. the cord still dangled; somewhere In that dense gloom the two men peered over the roof edge, waiting my re sponse. ".Monsieur," I called up softly, un able to restrain my eagerness. "Yes. madame," It was D'Artlgny's voire, although a mere whisper. "You have Home word for me?" "Ay, listen; Is there any way by which I can Join you?" "Join me hero?" astonishment at my request made him Incoherent. "Why, madame. the risk la great" "Never mind that; my reason Is wor thy, nor have we time now to discuss the matter. Monsieur Ilolsrondet. la there a way?" I heard them speak to each other. mere murmur of sound; then another voice reached my ears clearly. "We have a strong grass rope, ma dame. which will safely bear your weight. The risk will not be preat. I have made a noose, and will lower If I reached It with my hand, but felt doubt as my fingers clasped It. " "lis very small, monsieur." "Put strong enough for double your weight, as 'twas Indian woven. Put foot In the noose, and hold tight. There are two of us holding It above." The memory of the depth below frightened me. yet I crept forth on the narrow sill, clinging desperately to the taut rope, until I felt my foot safely r.resse,) Into the noose, which tightened firmly alout It. "Now," I said, barely able to make my lips speak. "I am ready." "Then suing clear, madame; weU hold yon safe." I doubt If It was a full minute In which I swung 01 over that gulf nmld the black tight. My heart seemed to atop heating, and I retained no sense other than to cling desperately to the swaying cord which alone held me from being dashed to death on the tag ged rocks below. Inch by Inch they drew me up, the continuous jerks yielding a sickening sensation, hut the distance was so short I could scarcely realize the full danger. Isfore D'Ar tlgny grasped me wl'h his hands, and drew me In beside him on the roof I stood upon my feet, trembling from excitement, yet encouraged In my pur pose by his first words of welcome. "Adele," he exclaimed, forgetful of the presence of hi comrade. "Surely you had Kerb -us cause for Joining us here." "Am I welcome, monsieur?" 'Tan you doubt? Yet surely It was D ot merely to say farewell that you assumed such risk?' "No. monsieur, It was not to any farewell. I would accompany you in your flight. Do not atart like that at my words; I cannot see your face perhaps If I could I should lose cour age. I have made my choice, mon aieur. I will not remain the slave of M. Cas-tlon. Whether fur good or evil, I give you my faith." "You yon." his hands grasped mine. "Yon mean yon will go with me Into exile. Ict the woods?" "Yes, monsieur." "Hut do you renlhe what It all means? I am a fugitive, a hunted man; never again can I venture with in Trench civilization. I must live among ravages. No, no, Adele, tnV sacrifice Is too great I cannot accept of It." "Io you love me, monsieur?" ".Mou Dieil yes." "Theu thtie Is no sacrifice. My hesrt would break here. (!od! Would you doom me to live out my life with that brute that murderer? I am a young woman, a mere girl, and this la my one chance to save myself from bell, I am not afraid of the woods, of exile, of anything, so I am with you. I would rather die than go to him to confess ulm husband." "The lady Is right. Kene," Polsrondet n,iii earnestly. "You must think of her as well as yourself." "j'Mnfc of nerl Mon Dleu, of whom ei.-e Jo I think? Adele, do yon mean you; words? Would you give op all f a l:ie?" V :. moiiHlenr." it do you know what your choice 1 1 of early COPyOlOHT I stood before him, brave to the darkness. "Monsieur, I have faced It all. I know; the choice la made will you take me?" Then I was In his strong arms, and for the first time, his lips met mine. CHAPTER XXII. We Reach the River. It was the voice of Polsrondet which recalled us to a aense of danger. "It Is late, and we must not linger here." he Insisted, touching D'Artlgny's sleeve. "The guard may discover your absence, Itene, before we get beyond the stockade. Yet how can we get madame safely over the logs?" "She must venture the same as we. Follow me closely, and tread with ca re." So dark was the night I was obliged to trust entirely to D'Artlgny's guid ance, but It was evident that both men were familiar with the way, and had thoroughly considered the best method of escape. No doubt De Tonty anil his young lieutenant hail arranged all details, so as to assure success. We traversed the fiat roofs of the chain of log houses along the west side of the stockade until we came to the end. The only light visible was a dull glow of embers before the guardhouse near the center of the parade, which re veaied a group of soldiers on duty. The stockade extended some distance beyond where we halted, crouched low on the flat' roof to escape being seen. There would be armed men along that wall, especially near the gates, guard ing against attack, but the darkness gave us no glimpse. There was no firing, no movement to be perceived. The two men crept to the edge, and looked cautiously over, and I clung close to D'Artlgny, nervous from the silence, and afraid to become separat ed. I'.elow us was the dense blackness of the gorge. "This Is the spot," whispered D'Ar tlgny. "and no alarm yet. How far to the rocks?" "De Tonty figured the distance at forty feet below the stockade; we have fifty feet of rope here. The rock shelf Is narrow, and the great risk will be not to stop off In the darkness. There should be an Iron ring here somewhere ay. here It Is; help me draw the kuot taut. Itene." "l)o we do we go down here, mon sieur?" I questioned, my voice falter ing. "Here, or not at all; there are guards posted yonder every two yards. This Is our only chance to escape unseen." Polsrondet tested the rope, letting it Blip slowly through his hands down into the darkness below, until It hung at full length. "It does not touch," he said, "yet It cannot hick more than a foot or two. Faith! We must take the risk. I go first Kene hush! 'tis best B0 the lady would prefer that you remain, while I test the passage. The devil himself may be waiting there." He gazed down, balancing himself on the edge, the cord gripped In his hands. "Now mind my word; once on th rock below, I will signal with three Jerks on the cord. Haul up then slow ly, so as to make no noise; make a noose for the lady's foot, and lower her with care. You have the strength?" "Ay. for twice her weight." "flood: there will be naught to fenr. madame. for I will be below to aid your footing. When I give the signal again I'.ene will descend and Join us." "The rope Is to be left dangling?" "Only until I return. Once I leave you safe beyond the Iroipiols, 'tis my part to climb this rope again. Some tak that." cheerfully, "yet De Tonty deems It best that no evidence connect us with this escape. What make you the hour?" "Petween one and two." "Which will give me time before day dawn; so here, I chance It." He swung himself over the edge, and slipped silently down Into the black mvsterr. We leaned over to watch. ' II I ' 11 1;: i . i h. r. TV?. ..V $1 mm !'' :A. V' 1.1, T ;.'...- "Now," I Said, Barely Able to Make My Lips Speak. but could see nothing, our only evi dence of his progress the Jerking of the cord. D'Artlgny's hand closed on mine. "Dear," he whispered tenderly, "we are alone now you are aorry?" "I am happier than I have ever been In my life," I answered honestly. "I have done what I believe to be right, and trust Hod. All I care to know now I Is that you lore me." i "With every throb of my heart," ty AC C I he said solemnly. "It la my love which makes me dread lest you regret." "That will never be. monsieur: I am of the frontier, and do not fear the woods. Ah! he has reached the rock safely 'tis the signal." D'Artlgny drew up the cord, testing It to make sure the strands held firm, and made careful noose, luto which be slipped my foot. "Now, Adele, you are ready?" "Yes, sweetheart: kiss me first." "You have no fear?" "Not with your strong hands to sup port, but do not keep me watting long below." Ay, but I was frightened as I swung off luto the black void, clinging des perately to that alight rope, steadily sinking downwnrd. My body rubbed against the rough logs, and theu against rock. Once a Jagged edge wounded me, yet I dare not release my grip, or utter a sound. I sank down, down, the strain ever greater on my nerve. I retained no knowledge of distance, but grew apprehensive of what awaited me below. Would the rope reach to the rock? Would I swing clear? Even as these thoughts began to horrify, I felt a hand grip me, and Polsrondet'a whisper gave cheerful greeting. "It Is all right, madame; release your foot, and trust me. Rood, now do not venture to move, until Rene Joins us. Faith, he wastes little time; he la com ing now." I could see nothing, not even the outlines of my companion, who stood holding the cord taut. I could feel the jagged face of the rock, against which I stood, and ventured, by reaching out with one foot, to explore my Immedi ate surroundings. The groping toe touched the edge of the narrow shelf, and I drew back startled at thought of another sheer drop into the black depths. My heart was still pounding when D'Artlgny found foothold beside me. As he swung free from the cord, his fingers touched my dress. "A fine test of courage that, Adele," he whispered, "but with Francois here below there was small perf. Now what next?" "A ticklish passage for a few yards. Stand close until I get by: now cling to the wall, and follow me. Once off this shelf we can plan our Journey. Madame, take hold of my Jacket. Itene, you have walked this path before." "Ay. years since, but I recall Its peril." We crept forward, so cautiously It seemed we scarcely moved, the rock shelf we traversed bo narrow In places that I could scarce find apace In which to plant my feet firmly. Suddenly we clnmbered on to a flat rock, crossed It. and came to the edge of a wood, with a murmur of water not far away, nere Polsrondet paused, and we came close about him. There seemed to be more light here, although the tree shadows were grim, and the night rested about us in Impressive alienee. "Here Is w here the river trail comes down." and Polsrondet made motion to the left. "You should remember that well, Itene." 'T was first to pass over It; It leada to the water edge." "Yes; not so easily followed In the night, yet you are woodsman enough to make It. So far as we know from above the Iroquois, have not discov ered there is a passage here. Listen. Itene: 1 leave you now, for those were De Tonty's orders. He said that from now on you would be safe alone. Of course he knew nothing of madame'a purpose." "Monsieur shall not find me a bur den," I Interrupted. "I am sure of that," he said gallant ly, "and so think It best to return while the night conceals my movements. There will be hot words when M. Cas sion discovers your escape, and my chief may need my sword beside him. If It comes to blows. Is my decision to return right. Itene?" "Ay. right; would that I might be with you. Put what plan did M. de Tonty outline for me to follow?" "Twas what I started to tell. At the edge of the water, but concealed from the river by rocks, la a small hut w here we keep hidden a canoe ready fitted for any secret service. 'Twas Sleur de la Salle's thought that It might prove of great use In time of siege. No doubt It la there now, Just as we left It, undiscovered of the Iro quois. This will bear you down the river until daylight, when you can hide along shore." "There Is a rifle?" "Two of them, with powder and ball." He laid hla hand on the other's shoulder. "There is nothing more to say, and time Is of value. Farewell, my frieud." "Farewell," their fingers clasped. "There will be other days, Francois; my gratitude to M. de Tonty." Pols rondet stepped back, and, hat In hand, bowed to me. "Adieu, madame; a pleasant jour ney." "A moment, monsieur," I said, a fal ter In my voice. "Yoi are M. d'Ar tlrny's friend, an officer of France, and a Catholic." "Yes, madame." "And you think that I am right In my choice that I am doing naught un worthy of my womanhood?" Even In the darkness I saw him make the symbol of the cross, before he bent forward and kissed my hand. "Madame," he. aald gravely, "I am but a plain soldier, with all my service on the frontier. I leave to the priests the discussion of doctrines, and to Ood my punishment and reward. I can only answer you as D'Artlgny's friend. and au officer of France. I give you honor snd respect, and deem your love and trust far more holy than your mar riage. My faith, sad my sword are yours, madame" ' I felt his lips upon my baud, yet knew not be had gone. I stood there, my eyes blinded with tears at hla gal lant words, onlj becoming conscious of his disappearance when D'Artlgny drew me to him, bis cheek pressed against my hair. "Fie has gonel We are alone!" "Tea, dear one; but I thank God for those last words. They have given me courage and faith. Bo my old com rades believe as right the criticism of others does not move me. You lore me. Adele? You do not regret?" My arms found way about bis neck: my Hps uplifted to bis. "Monsieur, I shall never regret; I trust God and you." How he ever found his way along that dim trail I shall never know. Some memory of Its windings, together with the InBtlnct of a woodsman, must have given guidance, while no doubt ills feet, clad in soft Indlnn mocca sins, enabled him to feel the faint track, lmpercelvable In the darkness. It led along a steep bnnk, through low, tangled bushes, and about great trees, with here and there a rock thrust across the path, compelling detour. The branches scratched my face and tore my dress, confusing me so that had I not clung to hla arm, I should have been Instantly lost In the gloom. Our advance was slow and cautious, every step taken In silence. Snakes could not have moved with less noise, and the precaution was well taken. Suddenly D'Artlgny stopped, gripping me In warning. For a moment there was no sound except the distant mur mur of waters, and the chatter of some night bird. Yet some Instinct of the woods held the man motionless listen ing. A twig cracked to our left, and then a voice spoke, low and rumbling. It Rounded so close at band the fellow could scarcely have been live yards away. Another voice answered, .and we were aware of bodies, stealing along through the wood; there was a faint rustling of dead leaves, and the occasional swish of a branch. We crouched low In the trail, fairly hold ing our breath, every nerve tense. There was no sound from below, but In the other direction one wnrrjor I could see the dim outline of his na ked figure passed within easy reach of my outstretched hami. Assured that ail had passed beyond hearing D'Artlgny rose to Ids feet, and assisted me to rise, bis band still grasp lug mine. "Iroquois, by the look of that war rlor," he whispered, "and enough of them to mean mischief." "'Twas the tongue of the Tusearo ras," I answered. "My father taught me a little of It years ago. The first words spoken were a warning to be still; the other answered that the white men are all asleep." "And I am not sure but that Is true. If De Tonty was In command the walls would be well guarded, but De Buugls and Cusslon know nothing of Indiau war." "Yon believe it to be an assault?" "It hath the look; 'tis not Indian na ture to gather thus at this night hour, without a purpose. Put, pouf, there la little they can do against that stockade of logs for all their numbers. It la our duty to be well away by daylight" The remaining distance to the wa ter's edge was not far a direct de scent amid a litter of rocks, shadowed by preat trees. Nothing opposed our passage, nor did we hear any sound from the savages concealed In the for est above. D'Artlgny led the way along the shore until we reached the log hut. Its door stood open; the canoe was gone. CHAPTER XXIII. We Meet Surprise. Not until we had felt carefully from wall to wall did we admit our disap pointment. There were no overshad owing trees here, and what small glim mer of light came from the dull skies found reflection on river and rocks, bo that we could perceive each other, and gain dim view of our surroundiugs. Of the canoe there was absolutely no trace, and, If arms had been hidden there also, they had likewise disap peared. The very fact that the door stood wide open. Its wooden lock broken, told the story clearly. I re mained silent, staring about through the semi-darkness of the Interior, ren dered speechless by a feeling of utter helplessness. D'Artlgny, after an ut terance of disappointment, felt bis way along the walls; as he came back to the open door our eyes met, and he must have read despair in mine, for he smiled encouragingly. "Swept bare, little girl," he said. "Not so much as an ounce of powder left. The savages got here before na, It seems. Never mind; we ahnll have to travel a ways on woodcraft, and It will not be the first wilderness Jour ney I have made without arms. Did De Tonty mention to you where he believed the Win! were In hiding?" "No, monsieur are they Indiana?' "Yes; the river tribes, the most loyal of all to La Palle. It was one of their villages wo saw on the bank of the stream as we approached the fort from the west. I told Polsrondet that It stood there deserted, .but not destroyed, and It was our Judgment the Inhabitants were hiding among the river bluffs. Without canoes thy could not travel far, and are probably concealed out yonder. If we can find them our greatest peril Is past" "They are friendly?" "Ay, and have never shed white blond. I know them well, nnd with leadership they would be a match even for the Iroquois. De Tonty led them once against these same warriors, and they fought like fiends. Come, we will follow the stream, and see If we cannot find trace of their covert" It was but a cluster of rocks where the hut stood, and a few yards IkMow we found the forest creeping down to the very bank of the river. The sky had lightened above us, the obscuring clouds opening to let the silver gleam of stars through, and we paused a mo ment gn.lng back nnd upward at the vast rock on which perched the be leaguered fort. We could dimly per ceive the vague outline of it silhouet ted against the lighter arch of sky. lu masHlve gloom and silence It seemed to dominate the night, the grim forest sweeping up to Its very walls. Not a gleam of lliiht appeared; not a sour reached us. ! flt D'Artlgny's r about me. , .."J. would that I really knew what was going on yonder 'ueath the screen of trees," he said gravely. "Some In dian trick, perchance, which It might be In my power to circumvent at least bear to the lads fair warning." "You would riak life for that?" "Ay, my own readily. That Is a les son of the wilderness; the duty of a comrade. But for your presence I should be climbing the bill, seeking to learn the purpose of those savages else I wire no true soldier of France." "What think you their purpose Is, monsieur?" "An attack In force at dawn. Those who passed ns were heavily armed. and crept forward stealthily, stripped and painted for war. There were other parties, no doubt, creeping up through the woods from all sides. "TIs my thought the hour has struck for them to make their great effort. They have scattered the friendly Indians, killed them, or driven them In terrrtr down the river. Their villages have been destroyed. Now all the warriors who have been at that business have re turned, filled with blood lust, and eager to strike at the French." 'Rut they cannot win? Surely they cannot capture the fort, monsieur? Why, It Is all rock?" "On three sides yes; but to the south there Is ample space for attack In force. Those woods yonder would conceal a thousand savages within a few hundred yards of the fort gates. "We Are Alone Now Are You Sorry?" and what of the defense? Opposing them Is one hundred and fifty feet of stocknde. protected at best by fifty rifles. There are no more In the fort, officers, Indiana, and all; and Polsron det says scarcely a dozen rounds of powder and ball to a man. If the Iroquois know Ibis and why Bhould they not? 'twill be no great feat of arms to batter their way In. I would do that which Is right. Adele, If I saw clearly." (TO PR CONTINUED.) SOME FACTS ABOUT MERCURY Astronomer Have Been Studying ths Planet and Published the Con clusions Arrived At The planet Mercury Is the smallest of the major planets nnd the nearest to the aim, which It circles in a little less than three months. It reaches Its greatest distance from the sun at periods about sixty days apart During the year Mercury Is morning star three limes and evening star three times. Owing to Its nearness to the sun, It la never visible for more than a period of about two hours after sunset or the same length of time before sunrise. The eccentricity of Its orbit Is greater than that of any other major planet; Its greatest nnd its least distance from Iho aun differ by nearly 15.000,000 miles. According to A. W. McCurdy of the lloyul Astronomical society of Cnnndu, the most remarkable charac teristic In the motion of Mercury Is that when It 1b nearest to the sun It truvels faster than It ahould If It moved only by the Bolar system. As tronomers have long Bought an expla nation of the accelerated motion. Some believe that there ure other pluuets at present unknown betweeu Mercury Mid the Mm bodies that ulthough nu merous are too small to be seen. The movements of Mercury Indicate an in lluence that might be uccounted for by the presence of a not her planet revolv ing within Its orbit. If audi a planet reully exists, there Bhould come a time wheu It will uppeur as a durk spot moving across the face of the sun. An other way to detect the presence of new planets lu the vicinity of the nun la to take observations during a total eclipse. If there are no clouds at such a time, the stars become visible as the sun dlHuppeura. During the total eclipse of the sun In 1873 one ob server saw un object that he thought might be the long-sought planet ; but no other astronomer has been able to confirm the discovery and many now believe that the hidden source of the unusual movement of Mercury must be looked for elsewhere than In the orbit of the planet.

Pi. 47:t Whether it Is thu fault of the age or not, very little counts for much with the ordinary fxTsoii unless It l connected some how with a thrill. The contempla tive, the quiet, '.he mystical, do not appeal to men as they did once. The reli gion of the day must be a reli gion of enthusi asm. Wllh quite a small minority the consideration of Christianity, us presenting a system of things to be relieved, bus consideration; with another company the consideration of Christianity ns presenting n line code of ethics, something to be done, satis fies; but n larger company Is Interest ed lu Christianity ns presenting Unit which stirs the soul, which sets It uquiver. Our Christian religion Is a religion of enthusiasm, It calls for songs, for musical Instruments, for the shout of victory, for the chipping of huiids, for the triumphal entry with Its natural nccouipiinlmcnts. Chris tianity is not a dead thing, It la alive, anil one of the reasons why It bus not accomplished what might bo expected Is because It has been propagated by too many In n cold nnd listless way, humanly speaking. The Natural Body Must Die, But The thrill of Christianity does not come In connection with the consid erations that belong to The body of man; indeed the oposlte effect would naturally follow, as there are few promises to the body. Unless the preacher of the Gospel Is unfair he does not conceal the fact that Chris tianity, properly confessed, means pov erty, obscurity, privation and perils of many kinds, even death Itself. Its founder met all these things and the servant cannot be above his Lord. If the Ron of Man had not where to lay his head, hla disciple cannot ask for better fare. Notwithstanding this, the person In his full personality may be filled wllh Joy, may bo really hi larious and ecstatic, and should be able to make the world stare with astonishment and possibly criticize. Why Is this? Pecause-the spirit of man Is that which naturally thrills him with pleasure, Just ns the body may have that which depresses lilm. Some Things That Thrill the Spirit 1. The Christian's family connec tions nre of the finest. He Is a mem ber of the family of God. This Is not a theological dogmn, It Is fact clearly presented In the word of God. Chris tians nre the children of God, born children partaking' of the nature of God. They are not the natural hu man offspring of God nliout which I'nul spoke to the Athenians, but spir itually born children of God. 2. A Christian has a peculiar rela tionship to Jesus Christ, not simply In a potential, but real aense. Jesus Christ Is his Savior, Pedeemer and coming glorious King, but he Is some thing quite nslde from this. lie has a personal relationship to the Chris tian that cannot be gainsaid. He is a shepherd with a true shepherd's thought of provision for need, the guarding from danger. He Is a broth er closer than any earthly brother; he Is a friend in the most loyal sense. Taking that relationship to Jesus Christ It can be truly said that he is "all the world" to the Christian, and that Is by realization here and now, an ICmmnus experience continued In the Individual life. 3. The Christian not only fears noth ing of the future, hut he anticipates the future with the greatest Joy. While recognizing the body as the temple of the Holy Ghost, he aces another body beyond this mortal body, lie sees this body to be the subject of physi cal corruption, but he knows that after the worms destroy this skin, in his flesh shall he see God. He knows that Incorruptlon, honor, power, glory and spirituality await him ; Indeed he longs for a day that he will be delivered from this body of clay. However the body may be defective here lame, do formed, weak with disease or age, he knows that he la to have a body that will be beautiful, possessing power and eternal youth. With such an an ticipation he cannot but clasp his hands and shout with triumph. 4. The Chrlstlnn is thrilled with the glorious conditions of this earth that nre coming. They will not be the realization of the Utopian pictures of the poet and the visionary, but of Isaiah 11 nud 35. When ravenous beasts, destroying storms, floods and tires, will not be known; when pesti lence will not waste the land, and wars will cease. He knows his King is coming to put hla enemies under his feet nud reign In righteousness. The Christian cannot be ir pessimist as far us this World, Bin-cursed though It be, Is concerned. He knows that there will he a new heaven uu a new earth. Wisdom In Cheerfulness. The way of cheerfulness la the way of wisdom, livery physician under stands Its heullng and health-giving power.
