But the v kin me wna not out' to nc-
popt any iuiui'h statement. "Thank
you; I think I will set' for myself," he
answered, coolly. "Mailnnie," ho con-
tinued, speaking to Mine, de l'avan-
nes n« ho passed her, "permit me."
lie did not look at her, or see her
emotion, or I think ho must have di-
vined our presence. And happily the
others did not suspect, her of knowing
more than they did. lfo crossed the
foor at his leisure, and sauntered to the
window wntohed by t hem wit It''impa-
tience. lie drew aside the curtain, and
tried each of the harts, and peered
through the opening,both up ami down.
An oath and an expression of wonder
escaped him. The bars were standing,
nud linn and strong; and it did not oc-
cur to hiiti that we could have passed
between them. 1 am afraid to say how
few inches they were apart.
As he turned he oust a casual glance
ut the bed at us; and hesitated, lie
hud the candle in his hand, having
taken it to the window' the bettor to
examine the bars; and it ob.xourcd his
si^ht. lie did not see us. The throe
crouching forms, the strained white
faco.s, tin? starling eyes, that lurked in
the shadow of the curtain oseaped him.
The wild boating of our hearts <1 id not
reach his oars. And it. was well for him
that it was so. I f lie had come up to the
bed I think we should have killed him,
i know that we should have tried. All
the blood in me had gone to my head,
and I saw him through a haze—larger
than life. The exact sj>ot near the
buckle of his cloak where 1 would
strike him, downwards and inwards, an
inch above the collar-bone—this only
1 saw clearly. I could not have missed
it. Hut he turned away, his face dark-
ening, and wont baok to the ^roup
near the door, and never knfcw the risk
lie bud run.
CHAPTER VI.
MADAMK's FRIliJJT.
And we breathed again. The agony
rf suspense, which lienors' pause had
created, passed away. But the night
already seemed to us a week of nights.
An age of experience, an aeon of ad-
ventures cut us olT as we lay shak-
ing behind the curtain—from Caylu*
and its life. Paris had proved itself
more treacherous than wo had over ex-
pected to find it. Kverythiug untj,every -
one shifted, and wore,one face one niin-
•nto and one another. We had come to
save Pavannos' life at the risk of our
own; we found him to be a villain 1
Here was Mirepoix owning himself a
treacherous wretch, a conspirator
against a woman; we sympathized
with him. The priest had come ii]k>ii
a work of charity and rescue; we
loathed the sound of his voice, and
shrank from hiiu, wo knew not why,
rooming only to read a dark secret, a
gloomy threat in each doubtful word
he uttered, lie was the strangest enig-
ma of all. Why did wo fear hiiu ? Why
• lid Mine, de Pavanncs, who apparently
had known him before, shudder at
the touch of his hand? Why did his
shadow come even between her and
her sister, and estrange them, so that
from the moment Pavannos* wife saw
him standing by Diane's side, she for-
got that the latter had come to save,
and looked on her in doubt and sorrow,
almost with repugnance.
We left the vidamc going back to the
ilreplace. ]le stooped to sot down the
candle by the hearth. "They are not
here," he said, as he straightened him-
self again, and looked curiously at. his
companions. He had apparently been
too much taken up with the pursuit to
notice them before. "That is certain,
so I have the loss time to lose," he con-
tinued. "J!ut I would—yes, my dear
coadjutor, I certainly would like to
know before I go what, you are doing
here. Mirepoix Mirepoix is an honest
man. I did not expet t to find you in
his bouse. And two ladies? Two! Pie,
coadjutor. 11a, Mine. J'O, is it? My
dear lady," he continued, addressing
her in a whimsical tone, "do not start
at the sound of your own name! It
would take a hundred hoods to hide
your eyes or bleach your lips to the
common color; I should have known
you at once, had I looked at you. And
your companion? Pheugh!"
He broke olT, whistling softly. It
was clear that he recognized Mine, do
Pavanncs, and recognized her with as-
tonishment. The bed croaked as I
craned my nock to see what would fol-
low. Even the priest seemed to think
that some explanation was necessary,
for he did not wait to be questioned.
"Mine, do Pavanncs," he said, inailrv,
husky voice, and without looking up,
"was spirited hither yesterday, and de-
tained against her will by this good
man, who will have t" answer for it.
Mine. d'O discovered her whereabouts,
and asked mo to escort her here with-
out loss of time to enforce her sister's
release."
"And her restoration to her dis-
tracted husband?"
"Just so," the priest assented, ac-
quiring confidence, I thought.
"And mudame desires togo?"
"Surely! Why not?"
"Well," the vidame drawled, his man-
ner su?h ns to bring the blood to Mmo.
de Pavannos' check, "it depends on the
person who—to use your phrase, M. 1c
Coadjuteur—spirited her hither."
"And that," mudame herself retorted,
raising her head, while her voice quiv-
ered with indignation and anger, "was
the abbess of the UrsuHnes. Your
suspicions nro base, worthy of you and
unworthy of me, M. leVidame! I)iane!"
she continued, sharply, taking her sis-
ter's arm, and casting a disdainful
glance at Dozers, "let us go. I waut to
be with my husband. I am stifled in
this room.*'
"We are going, little one," Diane
murmured, reassuringly. Put I no-
ticed that the speaker's animation,
which had been ns a soul to her beauty
When she entered the room, was gone.
A strange stillness—was it fear o£ tfte
Vidame?—had taken its place.
"The abbess of the Ursulines?" Do-
zers continued, thoughtfully. "She
brought you hero, did she?" There
was surprise, genuine surprise, in his
voice. "A good soul, and, I think I
have heard, a friend of yours. Umph!"
"A very dear friend," madame an-
swered, stiffly. "Now, Diane!"
"A 1ear friend! And she spirited
you hither yesterday'" commented the (
vidame, with the air of one solving an
anagram. "And Mirep'-ix detained J
you; respectable Mirepoix, who is said
to have a wcll-lilled stocking under his
pallet, and stand; well with the bour- ;
geoisie. He is in the plot. Then at a
very late hour, your atVcctionato sister. :
and ni) good friend the coad jutor, en-
ter to save you. From what?"
No one spoke. The priest looked
down, his cheek livid with anger.
"From what?" l'ezerb continued,
with grim playfulness. "There is the
mystery. From the clurehes of this
profligate Mirepoix. ! suppose. From j
the dangerous Mirepoix Upon lay j
honor," with a sudden ring of rosolu- I
tion in his tone, "1 think you tire safer
lu re; 1 think you had bettor stay wiiore j
you arc, madame, until morning! And
risk Mirepoix!"
"Oh, no! no!" madame cried,
vehemently.
"Oh, yes! yes!" he replied. "What do I
you say, coadjutor? Do you not think j
so?"
The priest looked down sullenly. His
voice shook ius he murmured, iu an- j
swer: "Madame will please herself. She
has a character, M. le Vidaiuo. Put if j
she prefer to stay here well!"
"Oh, she has a character, has she?" j
rejoined the giant, his eyes twinkling
i\ith evil mirth, "and she should go I
home with you, and my old friend, Mme.
d'O, to sa o it! That Is it, is it? No, !
no," ho continued, when he had had bis
sUent laugh out, "Mmo. do Pavannos
will do very very well here—very well
here until morning. We have work to
do. Come. Lot us go and do it."
"Do you mean it.?" said the priest,
starting and looking up with a subtle ;
challenge—almost a threat—in his tone, t
"Yes, 1 ilo."
Their eyes met; and seeing their
looks, I chuckled, nudging Croisette.
No fear of them discovering ns now. 1
recalled the old proverb which says that
when thieves fall out, honest men oome
by their own, and speculated on the
chance of the priest freeing us once for
all from M. do Dozers.
But the two were i 11 - m:i t r h< < I. The
vidame could have taken up the other
with one hand e.ml dashed his head on
the floor. And it did not end there.
1 doubt if in craft the priest was his
equal. Behind a frank brutality liezers
- -unless his reputation belied him— con-
cealed an Italian intellect. Under a
cynical recklessness ho veiled a rare
cunning and a constant suspicion; en-
joying in that respect a combination of
apparently opposing qualities, which I
have known no other man to possess in
an equal degree, unless it might be his
late majesty, Henry the Ore at. A child
would have suspected the priest; a vet-
eran might have been taken in by the
\ idaine.
And indeed the priest's eyes present-
ly sank. "Our bargain is to go for noth-
ing?" he muttered, sullenly.
"I know of no bargain," quoth the
vidame. "And I have no time to lose,
splitting hairs here. Set it down to
what you like. Say it is a whim of mine,
a fad, a caprice. Only understand that
Mine, do Pavannos stays. Wo go. And,"
ho added this, as a sudden thought
mm
Bnfo hero, and hero you will atop."
seemed to strike him, "though I would
not willingly use compulsion to a lady,
I think Mme. d'O had better come too."
"You speak masterfully," the priest
said with a sneer, forgetting the tone
he had himself used a few minutes be-
fore to Mirepoix.
"Just<so. I have 40 horsemen over the
way," was the dry answer. "For the
moment, I am master of the legions,
Coadjutor."
"That is true," Mme. d'O said; so
softly that I started. She had scarcely
spoken since Bezers' entrance. As she
spoke now, she shook back the hood
from her face and disclosed the chest-
nut hair clinging about her temples
deep blots of color on the abnormal
whiteness of her skin. "That is true,
M. do Bezers," she said. "You have the
legions. You have the power. Putyou
will not use it, I think, against an old
friend. You will not do us this hurt
wihen I— But listen."
He would not. In the very middle of
her appeal he cut. her short—brute that
he was! "No, madame!" he burst out
violently, disregarding the beautiful
face, the supplicatingglaneo that might
have moved a stone, "that is just what
I will not do. I will not listen! We
know one another. Is not that
enough?"
She looked at him fixedly. ITe re-
turned her gaze, not smiling now, but
eyeing her witl\ a curious watchful-
ness.
And after a long pause she t urned from
him. "Very well," she said softly, and
drew a deep, quivering breath, the
sound of which reached us. "Then let
us go." And without—strangest thing
of all—bestowing a word or look on her
nistcr, who was weeping bitterly in a
chair, she turned to the door and led
the way out, a shrug of her shoulders
the last thing I marked.
The poor lady hoard her departing
step, however, and sprang up. It
dawned upon her that she was being
deserted. "Diane! Diane 1" she cried
distractedly—and I had to put my hand
on Croisettc to keep him quiet, there
wan such fear and pain in her tone—
I will go! I will not be left l>ehind in
I this dreadful place! Do you hear?
Come back tome, Diane!"
! It made my blood run wildly. But
' Diane did not come back. Strange!
I And Bezers too was unmoved. He
stood between the poor woman and the
door, and by a gesture bid Mirepoix
' and the priest pass out before him.
"Madame," he said—and his voice, stern
I and hard as ever, expressed no jot of
compassion for her, rather such an Im-
patient contempt ns a puling child
might elicit—"you are safe here. And
I here you will stop! Weep if you
please," he added cynically, "you will
I have fewer tears to shod to-morrow."
His last words—they certainly were
odd onos—arrested her attention. She
checked her sobs, being frightened, 1
think, and looked up at him. Per-
haps ho had spoken with tlii* in view,
for while she still stood at gaze, her
hands pressed to her bosom, he slipped
* pilch I v out and close* I the tloor behind
him. I heard a muttering for an in-
stant outside, and then the tramp of
feet descending the stairs They were
gone, and we were still undiscovered.
For madame, sh had el-uii forgotten
our presence—of thnt I am sure—and
the chance of eseipe wo might afford.
Oil finding herself alone she gazed a
short time iu alarmed silence at the
door, and then ran to the window and
peered out. still trembling, terrified,
silent. So she remained awhile.
She had not noticed that Bezers on
going out had omitted to lock the door
behind linn. 1 had. Put I was un-
willing to move hastily. S.uue one
might return to see to it before the
vidame left the house. And, besides,
the door was not over strong, and if
locked would be no obstacle to the
throe of ns when we bad only Mirepoix
to deal with. So I kept the others
where they were by a nudge and a
pinch, and held my breath a moment,
strain'ng my oars to cat'h the closing
of the door below. I did not hear that.
But I did catch a sound 'hat otherwise
might have escaped r.n\ l \t which now
riveted my eyes to the door of our room.
Some one iu the silence, w liich folliAved
tin* trampling on the stairs, had cau-
tiously laid a hand on the latch.
The light in the room w as dim. Mire-
poix had taken one of the eandles with
him, and the other wanted snufliug. I
could not see whether tlie latch moved;
whether or not it was rising. But
watching intently, I made out that the
door was Is-ing opened- slowly, noise-
lessly. I saw some one enter—a fur-
tive gliding vhadow.
For a moment I felt nervous—then 1
recognized the dark hooded figure. It
was only Mine. d'O. Brave woman!
She had evaded the vidame and slipped
to the rescue. Ila, ha! We would de-
feat the vidame yet! Things were go-
ing better!
But then something in her manner—
as she stood holding the door and peer-
ing into the room—something in her
bearing startled and frightened me.
As she came forward her movements
wore so stealthy that her footsteps
made nosound. Her dark shadow, mov-
ing ahead of her across the floor, was
not more silent than she. An unde-
fined desire to make a noise, to give the
alarm, seized mo.
Half way across the floor she stopped
to listen, and looked around, startled
herself, 1 think, by the silence. She
could not see her sister, whose figure
was blurred by the outlines of the cur-
tain; and no doubt she was puzzled to
think what had become of her. The
suspense which 1 felt, but did not un-
derstand, was so great that at last I
moved, and the bed creaked.
In a moment her fuce was turned our
way, and she glided forwards, her fea-
tures still hiddeu by the hood of her
cloak. She was close to us now, bend-
ing over ua. She raised her hand to her
head—to shade her eyes, as she looked
more, closely, I supposed, and I was
wondering whether she saw us—
w hether she took the shapelessness in
the shadow of the curtain for her sis-
ter, or could not make it out—I was
thinking how we could best apprise
her of our presence without alarming
her — when Croisettc dashed my
thoughts to the winds! Croisette, with
a tremendous whoop and a crash,
bounded over me on to the floor!
She uttered a gasping cry—a cry of
intense, awful fear. 1 have the sound
iu my ears even now. With that she
staggered back, clutching the air. I
heard the metallic clang and ring of
something falling on the floor. I
heard an answering cry of alarm from
the window; and then Mine, de Pa-
vanncs ran forward and caught her in
her arms.
It was strange to find the room late-
ly so silent become at once alive with
whispering forms, as we came hastily
to light. I cursed Croisette for his
folly, and was immeasurably angry
with liini, but I had no time to waste
words mi him then. 1 hurried to the
door to guard it. I opened it a hand's
breath and listened. All was quiet be-
low; the house still. I took the key out
of the lock and put it in my pocket and
went back. Marie and Croisette were
standing a little apart from Mme. de
Pavanncs, who, hanging over her sis-
ter, was by turns bathing her face and
explaining our presence.
In a very few minutes Mme. d'O
seemed to recover, anil sat up. The
first shock of deadly terror had passed,
but she was still pale. She still trem-
bled and shrank from mooting our
eyes, though I saw her, when our at-
tention was apparently directed else-
where, glance at one and another of
uh with a strange intontness, a shud-
dering curiosity. No wonder, I
thought. She must have had a terrible
fright—one that might have killed a
more timid woman!
"What on earth did you do that for?"
I asked Croisette, presently, my anger
certainly not decreasing the more I
looked at her beautiful face. "You
might have killed her!"
In charity I supposed his nerves had
failed him, for he could not even now
give me a straightforward answer. His
only reply was: "Let us getaway from
this horrible house!" and this he kept
repeating, with a shudder, as he moved
restlessly to and fro.
"With all my heart!" I answered,
looking at him with some contempt
"That is exactly what we are going to
do!"
But all the same his words reminded
me of something which in the excite-
ment of the scene I had momentarily
forgotten, and that w as our duty. Pa-
vannos must be saved, though not for
Kit; rather to answer to us for his
sins. But he must be saved! And now
that the road was open, every minute
lost was reproach to. us. "Yes," I
added, roughly, my thoughts turned
into a more rugged channel, "you are
right. This is no time for nursing.
Wo must be going. Mme.de Pavanncs,"
I went on, addressing myself to her,
"you know the way home from here-
to your house?"
"Oh, yes!" she cried.
"That is well," I answered. "Then we
will start. Your sisler is sufficiently
recovered now, I think. And we will
not risk any further delay."

A Danger to Eyesight.
For some time past London oculist*
have been directing the attention of the
community to the very serious dangei
caused by the electric light, the princi-
pal point being made against the uni-

ered, in the streets and in shops and of
fices. One of the journals devoted tc
that industry explodes such fears by re
marking that it is not customary
look at the sun, nor xvouhl even the most
enthusiastic electrician suggest that
raked arcs and incandescent filament!
are objects to gaze at without limit;
naked lights, however, are not usfiullj
placed so as to come within the line ol
sight, and, while the filament of a glow
lamp is, on the other hand, more likelj
to meet the eye, a frosted bulb is an ex
tremely simple and common xvay of en-
tirely getting over the objection ii
point. Put while the whole trouble cat
thus be ensily remedied by the use ol
properly frosted or colored glass globes
the actual permanent injury to the eyi
by the glowing filament is, In any case
no greater than that due to an ordinary

A COUNTERFEITER CAUGHT.
'l'lie Police of Syracuse Xlnkc nn I in -
portnnl C'npli: re.
On Monday the lath Harold Marquiscc, of
Utica, N. V., xvas arrested in Syraeiihe, N.
V., on a warrant sxvoru out by the Dr. Wil-
liams' Mcdieinc < <>., char^in^ him with forg-
ery. On the 15th of December Marquiseo
visited a photo-engraver in Syracuse, Hay-
ing lie xvas the representative of the Dr.
Williams' Medicine Co.,and arranged for the
making of a full set of plates for the direc-
tion HrieetB. labels, etc., of the famous Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. News
of this reached the home office, and no t inn;
was lost in arranging for his arrest xvhen he
should return for tho plain. He returned
on the loth, and xvas accordingly arrested
ami is noxv in jail in Syracuse axvaiting ex-
amination. which occurs on March 2d.
This arrest proves to be aa important
one. In addition to various plunder, such
as medical books, typewriters, rugs, etc.,
found in Marquisee's trunk wlien arrested,
the police also found counterfeit coin both
mi tiic trunk and on his person; and in a
hcarcli of his apartments hi Utica found a
complete outfit fcA- counterfeiting consist-
ing of crucibles, bclloxvs, nickel, lead,
bismuth, antimony, a small blacksmith
forge, a charcoal furnace, and several plas-
ter oi-paris molds. The T'nited States mar-
shals xvant him just as soon as Dr. Williams'
Medicine Co. are through with him, and, no
doubt, he xvill be sentenced for a long pe-
riod.
In selecting Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for
his counterfeit ing operations, he showed his
knowledge of the proprietary medicine busi-
ness; for these pills are in such great demand
that they are easily Hold at any drugstore in
the United States. His scheme was to work
the country druggists and sell his imita-
tions at a discount of from 2 per cent, to 5 per
cent., explaining the reduced price by the
fact that he had picked them up in small
lots and at a discount from dealers xvlio were
overstocked. Ity working fast and making
long jumps, be would have secured many
hundreds of dollars in a short time. The
proprietors of Dr. Williams' I 'ink I 'ills are
most fortunate to have caught the rogue, be-
fore be had fairly started, and to have thus
kept these spurious goods out of the market.

I thought that it was probably like the announce-

—bigf blow and little show; but I'm ready to surren-
der; go ahead, gentlemen, you're all right; I bought
one of your binders last season and it is equal to any
claim you ever made for it."
This is the condensed essence of what Mr. Thomas
^ Carney, of Washington Court House, Ohio, has to
say atwut the McCormick Right Hand Open Ele\ ator

strong claims. That's because
X? Machines are so constructed that strong claims for them are justified. The ma- Jj
