CHAPTER XVI.—Continued.
As he gallops from the little hamlet,
some cyclamen branches greet him, he
urges on his* steed.
And what a ride it is. under the
great trees of La Castagniccia, where I
chestnuts big as eggs drop upon him.
the giant chestnuts that fed Paoli's j
patriot army, the bread of Corsica,
each dozen trees being a peasant maid-
en's marriage dower.
But though 1he woods are all chest-
nuts, Edwin still sees in his road cycla-
men branches, slightly withered now,
their fragrance fading, and hope
grows higher in his heart.
So he rides along the parklike vales
of La Castagniccia, and before him is
the green of the great Ravella forest
fading "away down the hillsides toward |
the distant and still unseen Tuscan j
sea.
Here Edwin checks his horse. |
springs ofT and picks up a cvlamen
branch, and as he rides along, looking
at the flowers, suddenly ejaculates:
"Jove, how fresh their perfume and
plucked two days since."
But. the lately cut flowers give no
warning to the sailor: he is too eager
now. Pausing at the little village of
Pietra. Edwin steps intu the inn to ask
some questions and hears news that
makes him frenzied.
The landlord, delighted at his lib-
eral hand, tells him to avoid the com-
munal where the voting is going on.
" 'The Lucchese' have got full of wine
and are having a riot in I hat direction.
They are perfect devils, these fellows
from Lucca over across the sea that
Danella imported to work upon his
estates here."
"Count Cipriano Danella has estates
here?" asks Edwin excitedly.
"Yes, now it is Cipriano. Down to-
tip the pass yesterday said the new
count had come there in a vessel."
"He Is there at present?"
"Quite sure!" laughs the man. "Ci-
priano himself rode through here yes-
terday escorting a lady with some of
his followers."
"Aha, in a carriage driven by an old
Corslcan;'
"She was in a carriage, but was not
driven by an old Corslcan; a boy
whipped the horses."
"She was young and beautiful?"
"My eyes are old, I could not see
well, Slgnore. The carriage came rap-
idly past me, three or four riding about
it. The lady looked as If she would
say some words; she rose almost as if
to spring out, but something in the car-
riage seemed t.o check her, and they
whipped up the horses. Oh, Signore,
how terrible you look!"
"The quickest way to Cipriano's
estates?" asked Anstruther hoarsely.
"Down the road there, through the
forest, over two ranges of hills and his
land begins. But be careful how you
go that way; the 'Lucchese' are just
beyond the village. Hear them?
They are rioting now," as Neapolitan
outcries and Tuscan exercrations and
oaths and the rattle of stones are heard
further to the east. "Best take a by-
path."
Edwin takes the road pointed out to
him; he wishes no delay with these
Italian workmen, whom, imported in
great numbers into the island, the Cor-
stcans would probably butcher to a
man did not their natural laziness
make them prefer to let the "Luc-
chese" live and work for them.
But the by-path doesn't rid him en-
tirely of the "Lucchese." Just after
he has left the village he finds him-
self confronted by Some hundred Ital-
ian workmen, who threateningly de-
mand drink money, and unfortunately
noting the cyclamen flower in the
sailor's hand, the red being the color
of the candidate they do not favor,
they rush at him with upraised pitch-
forks and scythes.
Rut the lieutenant, remembering Na-
poleon's recipe for mobs, pulls out his
pistol, Dodging one volley of stones,
some of which come dangerously near
to him, he -dashes on, and there are
two wounded "Lucchese" as he rides
away—and three empty cylinders in
bis revolver.
Here a broken cyclamen branch
makes him forget all else, and riding
hurriedly, after some hours of moun-
tain vistas, he reaches a little hill and
gazes at a view which causes him for
one moment to pause. The dark emer-
ald of the woods descending quite

rapidly, reaches the paler emerald of
the sunlit Tuscan sea.
Few sails are on the quiet waters
of the tropic sea, though a sailing
fisher craft of some burden is an-
chored off the shore.
Rut what holds most strongly the
hungry eye of Edwin Anstruther is
the foreground of this wondrous pic-
ture.
Running into the gentle waves about
half a mile from him is a cliff, topped
by a fairy green of foliage; upon it
stands a ruined turret, its time-stained
stones indicate it had been a watch
tower of the Genoese in olden days
' and that from its top centuries ago
! had flamed beacons warning the flee-
ing people that the galleys of Barbary
| pirates were ravaging these shores.
The mass of ruined masonry rising
, above the foliage has been now appar-
ently repaired. The Englishman sees
the sheen of glass in some of the little
' loop-holed windows. Beside it on the
I same cliff some 50 yards away is a
comfortable Corsican farmhouse, in-
I creased by a long modern addition
' whose windows are large and whose
| portico is spacious.
one thought in his heart: "Is my wife
upstairs?"
With his revolver ready in his hand,
he dashes rapidly up the circular stone
stairway, upon which open little loop-
holes. After nightfall, these give hint
no light. But the illumination of a
lamp or candle comes down the stair-
way as he passes higher up. He calls:
"Marina, are you there?" and enters
the chamber at the top of the tower.
It is lighted by a lamp and fitted up
for occupancy. There is a little bed
in it, some old chairs and an oaken
table. Upon the bed are a bunch of
cyclamen flowers and articles of wom-
an's apparel. He flies to examine
them. They are not those of his wife.
Upon the table is an envelope ad-
dressed :
"Lieut. Edwin Gerard Anstruther."
Its contents, written in the same
hand as that of Marina's letter, makes
the young man's eyes roll in his head:
Mon Cher Anstruther:
1 have been watching your coming, over'
the hills, following the cyclamen flowers
the charming Marina so astutely drop^yjd
Into the path to bring you here-and am
prepared for your visit.
I thought you would be attracted to the
light In this chamber when all else was
dark.
As you read this you arc already trap-
ped.
Do you thlnlc I will spare anyone who
brought about my brother's death? Ask
Tomasso, who Is already gone.
Do you imagine. English lieutenant,
who call yourself husband to the woman
I have decreed shall be mine, that you
shall he scatlliess—
The sharp clang of the doors below
makes Edwin drop the letter and
spring like a topman down the stairs.
Though he Is quick, somebody is
quicker. The strong doors are closed.
As he reaches the lower step, he hears
steel bars falling into their sockets out-
side. Prom without a, jeering laugh
makes him know this has been
planned. This is confirmed by the
creaky turning of a great key.
"Unlock this door!" he commands in
quarterdeck tones.
"Diable, not after having had so
much trouble to trap you," is returned
in almost Parisian French.
Without a word Anstruther dis-
charges his revolver into the lock of
the door. He has exhausted his three
remaining cartridges, when the im-
pingement of the bullets shows that
the lock is protected by steel and his
attempts abortive.
He is interrupted by loud cries of
terror from almost beneath his feet:
"Hang it, quit that shooting! Do you
want to blow us up? I saw that scar-
faced chap shove sticks of nitro-
glycerin all around in the crevices.
This tower's mined, and that scoun-
drel has got a fuse or electric wire
running to it."
His own language with a Yankee
twang coming from below startles Ed-
win. He has some matches in his
pocket; strikes one, looks round and
sees a trap door in the flooring almost
beneath his feet. He pulls It up and
peers down. His eyes glare Into those
of another man gazing up from an un-
derground vault. Holding the match
so that he can see the face he gasps:
"Great guns, Emory! I thought you
dead!"
"I'm almost dead," growls the detec-
tive, Edwin, almost stunned by sur-
prise, gazing at him petrified. "By
the living Jingo, Where's Barnes? 1
guessed some of you'd find me out,"
adds the Pinkerton man in relieved
voice. "I reckoned you'd rescue a
chap who's been risking his life and
getting a good deal the worst of it in
your employ."
"I came to find my wife," cries Ed-
win shortly. "Have you seen her?"
"Oh, there's a lady, 1 think, in the
house."
"In the house? And they have
cooped me up in this tower." Anstru-
ther frantically assaults the door
again.
"Oh, I reckoned they'd be doing
something underhand to you," calls
Emory. "Come down and help me out
first."
"Why don't you come up? There's
a ladder."
"1 can't. Dash it, they've got leg
irons on me. They feed me on soup
and bread and don't even leave a
spoon with me to dig out. I was seized
and smuggled from St. Tropez in that
fishing craft that followed your yacht
just the moment 1 had it fixed so I'd
hear their plans. They're crafty as
snakes."
"A Pinkerton man like you captured
in this disgraceful way!" says An-
struther sternly. For he thinks had
Emory kept his eyes open and done
his duty, Enid would have escaped ab-
duction and the rest never have come
to pass.

with their perfume. He rides across a

PURELY FEMININE
DRESSING THE HAIR
FASHIONABLE COIFFURES RE-
DUCED IN SIZE.
Heavy Elaboration, So Marked a Fea-
ture of the Winter's Style, No
Longer the Mode—Marcel
Wave Out of Date.
Nature, or a reasonably good repro-
duction of the dame, again holds sway
in the realm of fashionable halrdress-
ing. No longer are hard, upholstered
effects considered in the height of the
Graceful and Natural.
mode. Neither are great quantities of
artificial hair required to build out
the fashionable coiffure, which is In
the act of shrinking to a size some-
what more in conformity with the
proportions of the human head. It
may be that the protests of theater-
goers, who have found the impreg-
nable fortresses of hair erected in
front of them as difficult to see
through as the most blatant of pic-
ture hats, are responsible for the
modification of this mode of hair-
dressing which is already observable.
It may be that women have gradual-
ly found out that the heavy elabora-
tion of the early winter's style ol
hairdresslng was not becoming to a
majority of faces. However it cama
about, certainly a change for the bet-
ter In the adoption of more natiual
styles is to be noted in the coiffures of
women who are entitled to be connld-
ered leaders of faBhion.
Stiff, fussy arrangements are
avoided. The marcel wave is no 16ng-
er fashionable. The hair is curled
and then combed out In graceful,
loose waves, as shown In the illustra-
tion. Little curls are made around
the face, If becoming, especially for
an evening coiffure, but stiff rows of
curls and puffs, such as are bought by
the yard, are not considered in very
good style unless the elaborate coif-
fure chances to bo most becoming to
the individual. If artificial hair is
used an attempt, is made to conceal the
fact, and therefore it Is not used In
such quantities as could possibly be
furnished only by a growth as phe-
nomenal as that of the hair advertise-
ment signs.
New Challis Patterns.
What has turned out surprisingly at-
tractive this season is the new line of
challis. They show a pale groundwork
In color patterned with beautiful flow-
ers or odd figures. Made up with tunic
skirts and bodices with lingerie fichus
they are the acme of chic;
Like most of the other thin fabrics,
challis have invaded the province of
bordure materials. These follow the
effects of the mousselines, chiffons,
etc., and in fact go them one better,
since some lovely challis have their
borders wrought in fine silk soutache
stitched upon the delicately tinted
background in Roman and Greek key
effects. The trimming of the bodice
Is then carried out In the same design
by means of lace and embroidery, com-
bined with soutache.

How Tinie May Be Saved and the
Patience Preserved.
Many ill humors and wrought up
feelings are created at the machine.
A great many steps may be saved -by
equipping yourself at the start with a
few helps.
If you are working on fine white
goods, have two spools of thread the
same size, so if your bobbin shsuld
run out it will not necessitate un-
threading the needle to refill. This
will save a great deal of time, especial-
ly if you should be at the middle of a
tuck.
Another time saver is to have the
upper right hand drawer empty, to use
for clippings and basting threads as
you remove them while sitting at the
machine, otherwise they are bound to
get scattered.
Have a small pincushion attached to
the machine in some convenient place
within reach, filled with pins and
needles. Have three or four needles
threaded with basting thread and
knotted, ready for use.
- A suggestion recently seen was a
small vial for holding broken needles
and also for pins without points, as
you come across them.
Of Pourse machine needles, thread,
pins, needles, binding tapes, etc., all
careful sewers keep on hand.
Bride's "Jar" Shower.
To a bride just going to housekeep-
ing a "jar" shower would prove truly
acceptable, so the very next time you
wish to honor a bride-elect try it.
Then if each guest would add the
recipe for making the contents of her
jar and the hostess would provide a
book for pasting in these rules, this
new little housekeeper would surely
rise up and call her frieuds blessed.
These showers for hospitals and other
charities are quite popular just now,
and in this way a fine assortment of
delicacies is added to the emergency
:shelf and the demand on the individual
'donor is very small.
GIRL'S COSTUME.
A pretty shade of dark blue face
cloth is employed for this costume.
This skirt is arranged in plaits which
turn towards the center front, the
foot is trimmed with a narrow
stitched strap. The coat is strapped
at the edge and up each seam, the
lower edges are rounded, tiny straps
of silk braid and buttons are used for
ornamentation. The collar and cuffs
are faced with brown velvet. Mush-
room shaped hat of blue felt
trimmed with glace silk the same
color.
Materials required: Seven yards
46 inches wide, three yards lining silk
and one-half yard velvet.
BRYAN'S BUSY DAY.
Care of Furs.
Many a fine set of furs is ruined and
many an ordinary set worn out in half
its due time by carelessness or ig-
norance. It is not the wearing of
them that hurts, but the lack of care
after they are taken off. They should
never be placed in a closet damp or
•crumpled up or with other clothing on
top. If they have been snowed upon
.shake them as dry as possible and
spread out in a warm place until they
are bone dry. Then they should be
brushed the wrong way and hung up
or laid in a roomy box. Ermine and
chinchilla should be placed in layers
of tissue paper and cleansed occasion-
ally with a lump of magnesia. Most
furs which have become slightly soiled
may be freshened with a piece of cot-
ton damped with gasoline.
Proper Care of the Face.
Most women wash their faces with
soap and water, wipe it off with a stiff
towel, and then go right out in the
wind. It will take you days and
sometimes weeks to undo the harm
that this carelessness has caused. If
you have no time to dry your face and
hands, then do not wash them. Rub a
little cold cream on your face and
wipe that off with an old towel. This
will answer the purpose if you are in
a hurry. Then, too, do not wash in
"hard" water. If the only water you
have is "hard." then add a few drops
of benzoin to the basin every time
you use it or throw a handful of bran
or oatmeal in the water. Any of
these will soften it
Street Suit.
A street suit for general wear to
be smart should be strictly tailor-
made. The newest styles show these
suits In dark blue, with a tiny white
stripe or a plain blue or gray. It is al-
ways best to have a garment of this
sort semi-fitting in preference to
tight-fitting, to give ample ease in
walking.

Kansas Populists Barred.
Topeka, Kan., Apr. 7.—The Popu-

to get representation on the primary
election ballots or on the iallot of the
next general election. This will be
the decision of the state canvassing
board, as it is already th.3 opinion of
the secretary of state and the attor-
ney general. "The Populist party
can't get on the ticket because the
law says they can't," says Secretary
of State Denton. "I have not included
the Populist party in the sample bal-
lot I am making up. The only way
they can get back Into recognition
as a political organization is to re-
organize. They have too few voters."
