Show can see no other way than for s t get to Paris It la the only place where this M. Pierre will not search for you and the girl he has declared shall marry him. But I shall be recognized by scores there, exclaimed Jules, with a shudder. CHAPTER XV. (Coxtixuxdo From him he learned of the thorough precautions taken to Intercept them, and of the dogged persistence of M. Pierres belief In their vicinity. This man was outwardly among the most eager of M. Pierres supporters, and was much In his confidence; and he assured Emile that it would be extremely hazardous to attempt escape for a month at least, although he was willing to do the beet he eould for them. Emile heard his unfavorable account thoughtfully, and replied: I see plainly that I most mix among you here. I will remain secreted with you through the day, and make my way back to my hiding place at midnight The next night I will manage to get out on the highway; and do you give out publicly, that you have received word that the Gray Falcon is coming down from Pari to stir up the populace of Frejus. Come and meet me, if you can, and Introduce me to this Pierre. Let me gain the confidence of the majority and I think I can manage the matter. Getting back Into the forest was not so easy a matter; the change of guards had given control to a more faithful and vigilant set of men. g Emile was challenged twice, and was he some hasty exveaa, saying a trusty citizen of Frejva ed to look at the chateau ruins, was grudly ordered back to tho town. He turned back a little way, and laid himself down among the bushes, Just In sight of the pacing figures. What must he dot Daylight was at hand, and It was absolutely necessary he should prepare his young charges for his absence, and acquaint them with his future plans. Lying prone on hie face he crawled along, the showing him there was one spot at a projecting' knoll where but one sentinel was stationed, and he hardly in sight of the others, when he turned the rather sharp corner, Emiles mini was made up at once. He found a heavy stick, and In the game serpent fashion crept cautiously along on the ground toward I j glv-jh- I I recon-noisan- ce - j- the spot Having obtained the desired position he remained perfectly quiet, allowing the unconscious guard to pass three times over his beat before he made any demonstration. On the fourth, as the man slowly moved around the point, be leaped to his feet, and In the twinkling of an eye tripped him up. and sent him sprawling some two or jthree yards away. In the brief time required for the astonished man to gather himself up, Emile had darted Into the wood. Away he sped, the swifter for the loud halloo of the sentinel. He was familiar with every spot in he forest, and gained his object long before the aroused sentinels could follow Mm. He found his faithful friends lanxiously awaiting hie return. Jules had recovered entirely, and he listened anxiously to the plans of Emile. It will do very well for me who jshall have my old strength in a few Idays longer, but for your niece, for 'Mademoiselle Chlotllde, it would be knore trying. But, why, Indeed, should they bear any 111 will to her? Because she .has lived In a noble family and was extremely attached to Its members; because this wretch of an M. Pierre means to make her his .wife, and she abhors the idea. j Abhors, indeed! ejaculated Jules, gazing after the slender figure which bad pussed Into the further room, which she had taken for her own priand vate retreat; so singularly-gifte- d refined a creature to marry that odious overseer! The very idea is distressing even to me. Ah, Monsieur Emile, If you and your niece are Impartial types o C your class, I cannot help feeling humiliated that we have ever precomparsumed to call others noble ison. Chlotllde has had superior advanobserved Emile, quietly; I tages, doubt If the hapless Lady Felicia Languedoc herself was more accomplished or graceful. I am sure I have not a moments question about it," replied Jules, hastily: none of the noble ladles I have ever seen could equal Chlotllde for loveliness or grace. ' The care ef this retreat will devolve upon you in my absence.

If he t uw'ty, this M. Pierre will soon remove his watch from sight and set a secret trap. But I mean to get you both away speedily. Felicia came from her room, and looked up affectionately In his face. You have talked with Jules long enough, my uncle; say something to Chlotllde now. He drew his hand caressingly over the glossy hair. I have been telling him what good care he must take of my child when I am gone. Gone! oh, Emile!" exclaimed she, In consternation. For a little time, dear one, only to prepare for your escape. The tears were slowly trickling down her cheeks, she could not speak a word of answer. I hope not. I shall find means to color that fair hair jetty black; you must wear it In another fashion. Garments, too, make a wonderful change; but of course you will keep as retired as possible. Jules drew a long breath. It seems to me I would rather be here forever, but I trust Implicitly In your sagacity; I yield unquestioning obedience. Your health would Buffer by long residence In this unsunned cave. I am already anxious about Chlotllde. The two weeks have paled her cheek sadly. With extreme caution you might both go up to the surface every day. There are apertures in the trunk of the tree to take reconnoisance In every direction. Seeing the ground clear, you could venture out, though I warn you thought, there can be no danger of your needing more water. You will be as prudent as possible, and I mean to relieve you long before you broach tho last cask. Neither suspected that he had attempted to reach the spring, and narrowly escaped capture. He went back to the upper room, and listened there anxiously. I do believe it is the evil one himself; how else could he vanish so said one wondering mysteriously? voice.
