Fortunately, chance on this occasion chose to favor those plans. Day had broken without a gleam of sunshine; a thin drizzle was falling, and there was a sharp head wind ou, which fretted the horses and forced the driver to keep his head down, with hla broad brimmed but pulled well over bis eyes. Nature, as you see, was helping all she could. One can Imagine the surprise attack. Vugue forms looming suddenly out of the mist and the sharp report of a pistol, twice In quick succession. The horses, sweating and pnutlng, fell Into a footpace, drugging the heavy coucn up the steep Incline, through the squelching mud of (he road, and came to a and sudden hnlt on the crest ol the hill nt the first report At. the second they reared and pluiiged wildly. "The whole thing was, I am assured, Dialler of a couple of minutes. It was surprise and swiftness that won the upper hand, for the rescue party was outnumbered three to one. Hud there been the slightest hesitation, the slightest slackening of quick action, the attark would of a certainty have failed. I!ul during those few minutes of confusion, and under cover of the mlsl and the vague grttyness of the morning the Scarlet Pimpernel and bla followers, down on their knees In the squelching mud were not merely fighting, you understand? No I They were chlelly engaged In cutting the saddle girths under the bellies of eight fidgety nd plunging horses, end cracklni; their pistols In order to keep up the confusion.

It he would, solve the riddle of the Identify of thai mysterious Scarlet Pimpernel. And the whisperers were correct, since his highness was one of the few who knew that Sir Percy Blakeuey was the Scarlet Pimpernel, who, with his little band of romantic adventurersof whom Sir Andrew Ffoulkes was one was devoting himself to sav ing from undeserved death victims of fhe Itelgn of Terror lo France. Dainty, sweet, aud generous, as usual, Lndy Kfoulkes bud edged up to Lady Blakeney, aud the two young wives of such gnllnnt men held one another for one Instant closely by the hand, a token of mutual understand bag. of pride aud of happiness. Then Lady Kfoulkes looked in dainty puzzlement about her. "Sir Percy!" site exclaimed. "Where Is Sir Percy? And the call was like the chirrup Ing of birds on a sunny spring morn It stilled all further chattering Ing. for the moment, Where Is Sir Percy?" And silence alone echoed, "Where?" Until a real material sound came In A out sound response. that caused the ladles to snigger aud the men to laugh. It was the sound ol loud and prolonged snore. The groups of gay society butterflies, men and women, parted, disclosing the al cove at the further end of the room, where, on the sofa, wltb handsome hend resting against rose colored cusli was fast Ions, Sir Percy UluUeney asleep. "At any rate, those had been the chiefs orders, and they bad to be carried out. For my part, I Imagine that superstitious terror had npset the nerves of that small sqund of revoluHemmed In by tho tionary guard. thicket on either side of the road, the men had not sufficient elbow room for a good tight. No man likes being attacked by a foe whom he cannot welt see, and In the melee that ensued the men were hindered from using their somewhat clumsy sabers too freely for fear of Injuring their comrades' mounts. If not their own; and all they could do was to strive to culm their horses and through the din, to bear the words of command uttered by their llcutenatit "And all the while. Sir Andrew went on. amidst breathless silence on the part of bis bearers, l pray you picture to yourselves the confusion; the cracking of pistols, the horses snorting, the lieutenant shouting, the prisoners screaming. Then, at a given moment, the Scarlet Pimpernel scraro bled up the box sent of the chaise.
