CHAPTER XVIII.
HE came
one day
to Jutes
with a
trembling lip:
"Jules the last
water cask is emp-
ty. I supposed It
was full. It must
have leaked out
long ago."
"How much is
there left?" asked
Jules.
Her voice shook.
"Not twice can the ewer be filled.
Oh, Jules'."
"Nay, dear one, I can fill it up to-
night. Do you know the exact local-
ity of the spring?"
"I remember visiting it once or
twice. I must pause a moment before
I can tell you its direction from this
spot. But it frightens me to think of
your attempting such a dangerous
feat."
"It is vitally necessary, if we re-
main here, which seems the best thing
left us, until our provisions fail us, or
we are convinced there is no hope of
Emile's appearance."
"If it must be I consent; but upon
ono condition—I shall accompany you,
Jules."
"My precious Chlotilde, not for the
world."
"I insist upon it. Whatever happens
to you I must share It with you; be-
sides, I can recognize the spring at
once, and you might search a long time
for It."
"My beloved one, let me brave this
little danger alone. What would Emile
say to me if he knew I allowed you
to venture out so far?"
"It does not matter; you 6hall
allow it; you yield to it because there
is no help for it. I should follow at
all events."
"But it is not Immediately necessary.
We will be as prudent as possible, and
Emile may yet arrive," replied Jules,
resolved to sally forth secretly.
Lady Felicie put the vessel of water
carefully aside, saying wistfully:
"It must not be before us to tempt
us. How perverse in me! I was never
so thirsty in my life!"
Jules deliberately poured out a glass
and held it toward her.
"You shall not deny yourself while
there is so much left to us."
She sipped it slowly.
"If we were to have no more, how
much more precious than our pearls
and diamonds would be the tiniest
drop," said she, and handed it back
only half empty.
"Now I must return to my post, and
learn how near the sentinels approach
us. Can it be possible for them to hear
our voices when above us!"
"I think not, or Emile would have
warned us."
"Oh, invaluable, allwise Emile! what
detains him!" groaned Jules, as he
clambered up the stairway.
No sign came of any human presence
throughout the day, and much em-
boldened by the circumstance, Jules
took a pitcher and small pail and
started forth as soon as evening came.
Lady Felicie followed silently be-
hind him, notwithstanding his entreaty
to the co- "y.
They passed along softly, with the
utmost caution, pausing every few
steps to listen for any sound of alarm.
All was profound stillness, save that
now and then a dry leaf dropped from
a bough, or a bird with heavy wing
thurred through the branches.
The spring was just a little way
from the trodden pathway. It lay in
its mossy bed like an inky mirror, with
just one ripple of sliver where a star
beam from above slid through the can-
opy of leaves and gave it a tender kiss.
The trembling pair gave a sigh of re-
lief. Jules hastily knelt down and
dipped the pitcher into it. He turn-
ed and held it up to Chlotilde's lips.
Draught of nectar from the very cup of
Titania was outrivaled by the refresh-
ing coolness of the water.
Neither ventured to speak, but their
hearts beat with joyful relief. Jules
filled the pail to the brim and Chlotilde
took the pitcher. Bhe tripped lightly
before him to open the door.
He spoke suddenly and sharply.
"Hurry, Chlotilde! go at once!"
She obeyed with a quick rush of ter-
ror, for she also caught-the sound of
hurrying steps, and gaining the tree,
stood waiting his approach.
There came to her from the gloom of
the shadowed pathway a fierce oath, a
scufile, and shout for help.
Setting down the pitcher hastily, the
girl bent out of the tree with white lips
and horror-stricken eyes.
A quick rush of frantic steps—but
whose? tiie companion of her hidden
home of refuge, or the cruel spy? She
could not stir, but stood paralyzed.
It was Jules. He dashed up to her,
thrust her into the little room with
impetuous haste, and closed the door.
The movement upsbt the pitcher, f!
precious water was lost, not a drop
remained; for in his struggle with tHe
man who had pounced upon him, Jules
had dropped the bucket.
Then shivering and repressing the
very sound of breathing, the pair lis-
tened to the eager talk going on out-
side, as a group of the sentinels gath-
ered together in bewildered astonish-
ment.
"This is certainly witchcraft!" ejac-
ulated one.
1 "He was here a moment ago, and
now he has gone. Peste! has he wings
like a bird, or legs like a squirrel? It
is always here, in this spot, that the
villain disappears. Captain Pierre
vust hear of this. What a wise man
he is; in spite of all our doubts he de-
clared they were ia this forest, and so
I venture to declare we shall find It."
"Beat up the bushes over there!"
cried out another; "let's drag him out
to-night, and earn the reward."
They went tramping all about the
spot, and one struck his heavy pike
against the tree trunk, making the
girl spring back wildly.
Jules took her hand in both his, and
held it firmly; the darkness concealed
his quivering lip and flashing eye.
But presently the men were tired
hunting over the vacant ground, and
they dispersed to their separate sta-
tions.
Jules led his silent companion down
to the lower room. She turned and
threw herself into his arms with a
6ob of anguish.
"Jules, Jules, we shall perish togeth-
er! there is a little comfort in that
thought."
His breast was heaving. Too well he
knew how little hope there was, even
of such a melancholy end. He had
learned enough from Emile, to feel
convinced that she would be torn away
from him at once.
"Yes, they will certainly mark the
spot well. They will dig for traces of
a secret passage; you heard them
sounding the tree. Oh, that we had
remained quiet. We have not even a
glass of water to atone for the mis-
hap."
They said nothing more concerning
their apprehensions, but made no at-
tempt at cheerfulness, and sat hand
clasped in hand in utter silence.
Slowly and sadly wore away the
night, and the next day. Neither could
touch food, but their feverish thirst
seemed to increase, as the precious
water disappeared. By another night-
fall there remained but a single wine-
glass full.
"Drink it. Chlotilde!" exclaimed
Jules, bitterly, as he saw her eyes
dwell upon it wfetfully; "by another
day it will be of no consequence. That
Pierre has been examining the place
himself; he has ordered them to com-
mence felling the trees by the morning
light."
Lady Felicie clasped her hands, and
her white lips moved prayerfully—then
she said tremulously:
"M. Pierre! oh, Jules! shoot me vrVh
your pistol be'ote you allow me to fall
into his hands.'
"Chlot:'de, let us try to escape from
the forest to-night, rather than be
dragged f irtli by their triumphant
hands."
"But whither shall we go?" asked
she, sorrowfully.
He groaned in anguish.
"Whither, indeed! oh, Emile, Mon-
sieur Emile, what has become of you?"
The words had hardly passed his lips
ere a step was heard on the rude
stairs leading to the secret door above.
They sprang up with cheeks grow-
ing still more ashy white, and turned
wild glances to the aperture. Had their
persevering enemy at last discovered
the secret passage to them?
Hastily came the intruder downward
—the lofty head stooped to clear the
beam and then—oh, joy! oh, transport!
they beheld the pale, excited, but tri-
umphant face of Emile!
With a glad cry, Felicie fell down at
bis feet. His tears mingled with hers,
as he raised her in his arms.
"My child, my beloved one! you are
safe; I feared to find you completely
prostrated, if yet alive."
Jules seized his hand in a transport
of delight.
He gave them a few moments to re-
lieve their excitement, then produced
from the bundle he had brought, two
disguises, both for peasants of the
humblest class.
"Do not delay a second beyond what
is absolutely necessary, but put them
on at once, and take every valuable
that you can conceal. The diamonds I
will secrete on my own person."
Neither asked him a single question;
but trusting him implicitly, gave
thought only to thorough obedience.
In a few moments they were ready.
Emile quietly took a powder from
his pocket and rubbed it over the pale
faces and hands; he gave to Jules a
different shade of hair by a powerful
liquid, and concealed the silky tresses
of Felicie by a most unbecoming man-
tle twisted in turban fashion.
"Come now," said he, taking them
each by tho hand.
Still though their hearts beat anx-
iously, neither asked a single question.
This implicit trust moved Emile,
deeply; but he closed the door of the
faithful tree which had protected them
so long, and led them on in silence.
Jules looked around him with a
wistful glance. Where were the senti-
nels? At least no sign of them was
visible.
Unmolested they gained the out-
skirts. Emile pausing a moment, gazed
all around him.
"It is well," murmured he: "Jean
has not failed me. Now let us move
swiftly, nor lose the propitious mo-
ment."
"The sentinels are removed!" ex-
claimed Jules, in utter astonishment.
"They are lying senseless on the
ground," replied Emile, "a faithful fel-
low has carried them wine well drug-
ged, and has taken it himself, to re-
move suspicion of his instrumentality
In the affair. M. Pierre is welcome to
dig to-morrow; we, I trust, shall be
well on our way to Paris. I have the
papers for the passage of the Gray
Falcon and his cousins Jr.its and
Chlotilde; I hope we will meet with no
molestation. I started with the twain
and left them Just below the for#sty
they are to make their way to the next
town on foot. The spies on the road
will not know but I have still the
identical pair—the driver of the cart
waiting for us is faithful to me. Give
yourselves no uneasiness, dear chil-
dren. All will be well."
We do not fear, so long as it is you
who plans," answered Chlotilde.
"May your generous trust be re-
warded," responded he, fervently.
They were stopped many and many
a time before they reached the desired
haven; but tho Gray Falcon's name was
enough to give them safe passport, nor
were they overtaken by messengers of
M. Pierre, the event most dreaded by
all.
The horrors had deepened in Paris.
The unfortunate Louis had been led
to the block, and the trial of the queen
was already under consideration. The
utmost lawlessness and blood-thirsti-
ness prevailed everywhere.
The Gray Falcon was welcomed back
with enthusiasm. He lodged his pre-
tended relatives with an acquaintance,
and went at once to his old club. Not-
withstanding the abhorrence he felt for
the sentiments which now reigned tri-
umphant there, he felt that it was vi-
tally necessary for him to seem to par-
ticipate in them, and accordingly he
delivered to them one of his old ha-
rangues — somewhat disappointing
them, to be sure, with the moderation
of his views.
Having thus established himself safe
from suspicion, he proceeded to look
up a little plot of ground and small cot -
tage, at a safe distance from the city,
and thither he conveyed his friends.
A little garden gave ostensible em-
ployment to Jules, and his fair com-
panion made up bouquets, and sent
them to the city regularly by a peac-
ant boy, who was the unconscious bear-
er of dispatches between Emile and
his disguised wards; for a bouquet, es-
pecially marked, was sent twice a week
to Emile, and its fragrant blossoms
concealed a guarded statement of pre«-
ent security.
And thus amidst tho frightful car-
nage going on almost within sound of
their voices, the pair dwelt in peace-
ful security. They had almost ceased
to fear molestation, and Lady Felicie,
growing quite accustomed to the light
tasks which devolved upon her, had
almost put away the old Identity, and
believed herself the humble Chlotilde
of the cottage, when suddenly and
harshly came to her the reminder of
her former existence.

The mother of a happy family was
telling seme young matrons how best
to look after the little ones. She laid
special stress on sending the children

be mother's nightly care. "No
little one," said she, "should dread the
bedtime hour nor fear the dark nor be
allowed to go to bed under a sense of
disgrace or alienation from household

A number of Japanese girls ant.
women who came over to the world's
fair were stranded fn the country ami

they could. All these have taken ref-

as sewing maids. They came originally
to dance or sing or form a part of tho
furnishing of a Japanese booth or do
mestie "interior." Their aim. after be-
ing dismissed, was to make money
enough to return home, but, as is not
unusual, they see the advantages of life
in America and have decided to live
here. They are said to be far superior
to the Chinese in such positions, being
more adaptable and more intelligent in
every way. So popular have Japanese
servants become in New York that the
Japanese consul there receives applica-
tions every day, and though he doesn't
pretend to he running an intelligence
office, he turns over anxious house-
holders to his secretary, who directs
them to a Japanese college student who
keeps a list of newly arrived Japs.
There is a constant stream of Immigra-

women gladly accept positions as

An entirely new effect was attained at
the waist of this pictured gown, which
had a narrow pointed belt of white Bat-
in spangled with green and gold, and
quite conventional of itself, llut ra-
diating from it were six triangular
pieces—four on the skirt and two on
the blouse waist—of ivory white moire,
the edges of the dress goods being
joined by cord loops an4 tiny buttons.
The dress material was reseda green
diagonal serge, and the waist had a
yoke of white raoupseline de sole, with
stock collar to match, trimmed with
lace and resed'i green ribbon. The re-
vers matched the belt, and chiffon frills

FRENCH FASHIONS.
They Are Feminine Always and Never
Exaggerated as Ours Are.
The "tailor-made" gown, severe in
shape and scant in ornamentation,
though occasionally worn in France,
was never universally seen on well-
bred folk, S3 it was for some years on
English and American dames and
maids, says the Chautauquan. It was
English in taste and too plain to suit
French fancy. Nor have the varying ^
attempts at "common-sense dress," be I
it in the shape of bloomers, divided
skirt or "rainy-day skirt," ever found
adherents and wearers in France;
nothing could be more remote from
French taste, which is for woman's
dress above everything else, thorough-
ly feminine. And even when mascu-
line garments have been copied for
women's wear they have received from ,
French modemakers a touch or shape |
which has taken away their severity
of outline. It is interesting to j
note that, though nearly all our i
fashions in America are French
in origin and all receive their
element of popularity and life from j
France, yet they are most frequently J
seen in extreme shapes in America.
No truly el iant or modish Parisian
dressmaker ever sent from her shop .
the enormous leg-of-mutton sleeves
seen within the past two years in our
great American cities. Nor would sho
offer the spreading skirts with heavy
interlining throughout of stiff mate-
rial. The French skirts were infinitely
wide and flaring, but they were grace-
ful and comparatively light. In Amer-
ica we accent the fashions and do not
always improve them.

REVIEW SCHKMK.
The theme The ApostoM* Church. Our
lessons give the history o-f the founding
and early growth of that greatest Insti-
tution upon earth, the Church of Christ.
1. The story takes us to four places.
It opens at Bethany, on the Mount of
Olives, with the ascension of Christ. Then
we witness the establishment ami growth
of the pentecostal Church In Jerusalem
After the death of Stephen we see the
Gorpel spreading to Samaria, and tno
elose of tne quarter finds It In Damascus.
It began as a Jewish institution, we find
It receiving Oentlle* at the end. and t-AaH
observe still greater breadth in the voro-
Ing lessons.
11. Thvio are six Important p«. rson*
prominent in this history. 1. I'etur tho
apostle, who appears In this epoch as the
leader of the Church, its preacher, its
ruling spirit, and its bold advurate. -
Barnabas, the liberal giver, whose ex-
ample of generosity Influenced the entire
Church. 3. Stephen, the first martyr,
whose meteoric career throws even the
apostles Into shadow, for it was unques-
tionably Stephen who opened the door ot
faith to the (J.ntlles. 4. Philip the evan-
gelist. following In Stephen's footsteps,
and preaching the Uosi«el for the first
time outside the narrow hounds of Juda-
ism.5. The Ethiopian treasurer, a no-
ble student of the Bible, the tlrst fruits
of a great harvest among the ('.entiles.
6. Last of all. and destined to be the
greatest of all, Saul the ardent, tlrst a
persecutor, then a believer, and soon to
become a leader Pi the onward movement
of tho Church.
111. Each lesson shows us a distinct
Aspect of the Apostolic Church. In their
erder they are as follows: 1. A Praying
Church (Lesson 1 . While the disciple?-
were waiting for the promise or the
Father they continued in prayer and sup-
plication. Prayer is the secret of power.
2. A Baptized Church (Eesson III When
the time had come, and the Church was
readv. the baptism of the Holy (Jnosl
fell Upon Its mergers, and they received
power for their work. 3. A Revival
church (Lesson III). As a result Of the
descent of the Holy Spirit under
preaching of Peter, a mighty revival
broke out. and thousands were received
into tho Church. 4. A Miracle-working
Church (Lesson 1V>. The healing of the
lame man Is only one of the many mira-
cles of healing in the history of the early-
Christ Ian Church, li possessed overflow-
ing spiritual gifts. rphe bodily healings
were an Illustration of Its spiritual power ,
Greater works than these are now done
through the name <>t Christ In the talva-
tion of suuls. fr. A witnessing Church
(Lesson V). When brought before the*
rulers, the leaders of the Church declare
boldly that through the name of Christ
these wonders have been wrought, and
that his Is the only name that has power
to save men. 0. A Giving Church (Lesson
VI). So close was the union among th«*
members of the nentacostal Church that
each felt another s needs as bis own. and
gave of his abundance for the aid of the
poor. 7. A Loyal Church (Lesson VI11
True loyalty is an ardent love for and
fidelity to the state. The state which
these men obeyed was the kingdom of
God. They obeyed the rulers of the na-
tion only so far as was consistent with
the higher law of allegiance to Christ, s.
A Triumphant Church (Lesson VIII). In
the person of Stephen we see how the fol-
lowers of Christ are victorious, not only
over enemies, but even over death, by
faith which sees the opened heavens and
the heavenly throne, ! . A Spreading
Church (Lesson IX i. The means taken
•o destroy the Church only promotes Its
progress, for Its disciples, scattered by
persecution, preach the Gospel in new
fields. Instead <>f extirpating the Gospel
from Jerusalem the enemies unconscious-
lv plant the scattered seed in Samaria
lit. A Scriptural Church (Lesson X)
Philip, In preaching to the Ethiopian, did
what Peter had done before on the day
of Pentecost: began with the Old Testa-
ment Scriptures and showed Jesus as
their fulfillment. 11. A Transforming
Church (Lesson XI). No miracle could
be greater than that whereby Saul tho
prosecutor was changed Into Paul tin*
apostle. Yet that miracle has been re
peated over ami over aualri in the history
of Christ's Church. 12. A Self-Denying
Church (Lesson XII . While the follower
of Christ is free he voluntarily denies
himself his rights, and holds Ids desires
under control for the Gospel's sake."
These twelve traits of the Apostolic
Church arc characteristic of Christ's
people ir. all ages, and show that the
Church of to-day Is in the true apostolical
on.

Some years ago there was an old
lady in one of the southern capitals
who not only wore decollete ball
dresses at 80, but actually possessed the
lovely neck and arms which they re-
quire, says the New York Ledger. She
was most innocently vain; and no w*on-
der, for she was immensely flattered
and her townspeople valued her charms
far above those of her young and more
beautiful rivals. She had a curious
way of preparing for a ball, which our
modern fashionable women, with their
multitudinous engagements would find
difllcult to emulate. The morning be-
fore she proposed appearing in full re-
galia she would take a brisk walk and
return in time for a midday dinner,
after which she remained quiet with
her work until about 3 or 4 o'clock,
when she would retire to her bed, take
a very hot ptisan to induce perspira-
tion, and remain in bed (partaking of
some light refreshment at the tea hour)

On the morning of Dec. 1, Frank An-
dreas was saved from an untimely
death by his two noble dogs, says the
Mountainhome (Idaho) Republican. He
was on his way to the blacksmith shop,
some distance from the mine, when he
was caught by a big snowslide, which
started about 200 feet up the mountain.
He was carried quite a distance and
lodged against the gulch and covered
over with four feet of hard-packed
snow. His two dogs, which are quar-
ter St. Bernard, escaued the avalanche.
They soon located their master and
began to dig away the snow. By the
faithful work of the dogs and the use
of his left arm, which was fortunately
in an upright position, Mr. Andreas
soon gained a small opening, which
enabled him to breathe. He declared
that a few moments more and he
would have been dead. One hour and
a half of hard struggling and picking
away the hard snow from his bod>
and throwing it out of the opening
made by the dogs brought a most wel
come relief and one that will not soon
be forgotten. The gulch proper was
filled with snow ten feet deep for a
distance of seventy-five feet.
Thn she would get up, take a bath and
make the most elaborate toilet. All
the household regarded these prepara-
tions in the light of solemn rites, and
would never have dreamed of laughing
at them or interfering with them in
any way. Her appearance was a tri-
umph, never falling to excite the great-
est admiration and adulation.
