Through the weeks of the late summer, old Tatro, the butler, bad been attending the meetings held by the peasants. But, being a firm believer in the old regime, he had reported faithfully to Monsieur le Baron all that had transpired at these gatherings, telling him of the vicious speeches made by Fauchel, and of the latter's evident determination to influence the peasants against the people of the chateau. On a certain September morning, after one of these reports from Tatro, the baron said, Find Margot, and send her to me. When the faithful old servant had left the room his master looked out of the window toward the park; but his darkly circled eyes saw something quite different from the trees silhouetted agaihst the cloudless blue of the (sky. They saw the pale, angry face of Tomas Fauchel, the young schoolmaster, who, meeting the baron as he came from the magistrate's door with the pretty, sixteen-year-oldaughter of the Huguenot minister clinging to his arm, had said, as he barred their way, To day, Monsieur le Baron, you have won, and have taken for wife her whom her dead father gave to me when he refused you, a Papist. But I warn you to beware of the day when ( shall seek my revenge! The baron, in the strength of his vigorous manhood, and in the happy dreams of his passionate love, had liughed at the melodramatic threat of his humble rival. And white-haireand lonely, he smiled disdainfully as he recalled It. But the smile died softly in a sigh that was almost a moan, as thought of the narrow mound he had looked upon the spring before, banked with violets and snowdrops, in the old (churchyard by the Loire, near the cottage where he had known a brief year's dream of happiness. d to-da- d ,!'! n court-martia- wtige-earner- n semi-monthl- antl-Jewls- h e 0 s son-in-la- Is It thou, my But he now roused himself as got entered, and bade her to be Marseat- ed. Margot, I have sent for thee that my mind somewhat as to matters which have been weighing heavily upon me tor many months past, be began. ! Margot looked at him In silent wonder mingled with some alarm, as she could see no reason for his words, nor for the mood which seemed to inspire them. These are troublous times, be resumed more calmly, and dropping the familiar manner of speech he had previously used; times when but a few hours suffice to turn affairs from apparent security into confusion and danger. I wish, therefore, to place a considerable sum of money in your care, tor I feel that perhaps It may be safer with you than with me. It is all I have of my own to give Jean; and it will relieve me to know that, no matter what may come to me, or however Etienne may seek to rob the boy, my Jean will never know actual want. The baron was now standing by the side of his desk; and pressing the edge of a panel in the oaken wainscoting, it flew open, disclosing a small recess, wherein were a small metal box and a number of little canvas bags. Come here, he said, turning to look at Margot over his shoulder. She came to hl side. Se, he explained; you do so. and so. showing her how to manipulate the secret spring. Then, after closing tne pnnel, ho added, "See now if you ran open It." She did so, and the panel opened again. Ah, that Is well. Now you know where the hoys fortune Is hidden, and I trust you to guard It for him. The bags contain gold coin, and tho oox holds a few Jewels, that aro his, aa they were his mother's; also some papers, for which the future may stow need, should any one seek to deprive him of his rights as my son. I shall leave It to your discretion as to when and where you will take them from their present hiding plaee. Remember, Margot, I charge you solemnly, that when I am not here, If If I am taken away, 1 trust you, above I may unburden all others, to protect my boys future, and provide for his welfare. That will I do with my life! Margot declared fervently. It was toward sunset that same day when Jean came running in to an nounce that he had seen soldiers riding up the winding roadway that led through the park. Bidding the boy keep out of sight until the cause of such a visit could be ascertained, Monsieur le Baron dewhere scended to the reception-room- , the officer In command of the soldiers soon presented himself, and delivered a letter from Couthon, In which the barons hospitality was requested for the bearer and his escort. The fact was that Etienne,. recently angered by his fathers refusal to Increase his already liberal allowance, had, with characteristic villany, let fall some insinuations impeaching the latters loyalty to the Revolutionary cause; and the officer, who had been ordered upon a mission which would take him several leagues beyond the chateau, was Instructed to stop there upon his return, the object being that the Committee might, from the manner in which the baron received his uninvited guests, form a better idea as to his true sentiments. Jean did not deem it wise to present himself until the dinner hour should arrive, but had- - passed the time In questioning Margot and Tatro as to the probable meaning of this strange invasion of the chateaus privacy. Then, going in to the diningroom with an unusually subdued air, although his heart was fluttering with excitement, the lad's shyness evaporated In- a glad shout at sight of the officer standing before the fireplace, where burning logs made cheerful the apartment and warmed the chill evening air. "Aha! he cried, precipitating himself upon his fathers guest, whose arms went quickly around the boy- - L A, A ililvf wbei American Pr a a ted their and gins nortant Norwe $ 5! 10?' weat as the Hat o the g igt of the porta flours and And Greloire, looking toward hU with Mutter and Let,(f diers stand here beside Monsieur le Ba Watch that broken window, and a ball into every head that app, Ge stly from to tt down f from th ,er countries ra German p only article wel promises there.
