The American springs up the steps Into the house again, and rapidly ascending the stairway to the second floor, sees a very faint gleam of light shining under the doorway of the great guest chamber In the front of the old Corslcan mansion.

Then, it bring whispered that the enraged Sallcetl has notified the gendarmes by telegraph that the Bella-coHdhavo come down from the mountain, the Illustrious bnndlt and his followers silently disappear In the shadows of the night. During these words Mrs. Anstruther has hurriedly gone Into her house. Barnes now, with the eagerness of happy love upon his face, runs up onto the veranda and steps Into the hall, way. Here he Is met by Marina. "Don't be too Impatient," she observes, smiling slightly. "I haven't seen your wife, but she Is upstairs In her chamber, the great front room on the second floor. Though perfectly well, my servants aay, she Is worn out by the constant excitement and anxiety of the last 21 . hours." "Yes, I can understand that The front room on the second floor, you said," whispers Iturton, and turns to spring up the great oaken stairway to the upper story. "You are In a great hurry," says Marina, laying a light band upon his arm. "You will hardly be coming down for some little time aud in two minutes 1 shntl be on my way to Bastla, so 1 wilt have to bid you good by now." "To Ilastln?"

"Oh, Burton, don't kill me!" she gasps, for Barnes' hand, in his agony and rage, Is nearly on her white throat. "Pish, you are not worth It.'f Uncompromisingly he tears himself from her and commands: "Tell me where I will find her now; tell me so that I can go back to her and dare to kiss my wife's lips, knowing that I am true to her. Think think what you once were when your father and mother in Ohio loved you and believed In thetr little girl. By heaven, I know there Is good In you, Sally only let It come out, just this time," he entreats. "Just tell me where I can find my darling, so that I can rescue her In time, for you know these are villains who have Btolen her from me." A being of Impulse, La Belle Blackwood wrings her hands, hec head droops and she sobs: "Then, Burton, I'll forgive you and tell you. There U a little good In me I'll tell you all I know of your bride, which Is very little. I think the road the took her was north of the path that we followed. But where Enid is, I know not." "Then Sallcetl! Ml tear It from ' him." "I hardly think he can tell you. His followers were strangely frightened and embarrassed when the Bellacoscla young men demanded your bride from them, and as an evasion, substituted me." Then, noting the fearful look on Barnes' face, she cries: "Don't waste your time here; ask the man who knows." , "Ah!" "Ciprlano Danella! The head of this affair didn't want you to find her not until they killed you, if It were possible. Oh, this Corslcan count who is playing with you is a great man not a boy." "This Is all you can tell me? Is It the truth?" "Yes, as God will never forgive me yes." "Very well," says Barnes. "I thank you for the Information. I will now see that you get out of Corsica safely." "How?" "My friend, the great Bellacoscla, will do it for me." "The great bandit! He will take me from Corsica? Diable, the magnificent bandit that would be an adventure." laughs the volatile lady airily. "The ferocious bandit I have read of! This Bellacoscla who kills gendarmes as If they were flies! That's greater than even a pork packer, a cattle man or a Count Danella, Isn't it? I thank you for the bandit. Mr. Barnes." Barnes runs down the stairs and Bteps out upon the porch. A happy-raceyoung man with elated air and clothes is spurring hastily up the avenue, a native boy trotting, beside him.

"My heaven, how did you come here?" Burton's voice is hoarse with amazement "How? In Ciprlano'a swift yacht and afterward on a Corslcan pony." "And why?" An awful anxiety has crept Into his voice. "Why? To save your life!" "To save my life?" Burton's tone la Incredulous. "Yes. I guessed from Clprlano that they were luring you to Corsica for your death. I came here to warn you." "And Mr. Rungles?" remarks Barnes, still astounded. "Oh, Ruggles quarreled with me; got jealous of you or Clprlano, I don't know which. I was tired of Dan. Then bizarre Clprlano, he Is so funny he said to me: 'Ma chere, you want to even yourself with Harnes of New York? 1 had told him you were such a gillant knight you wouldn't even kiss an old sweethenrt because you were going to be married to a pretty-faced- , fait haired, blue-eyeEnglish ingenue, aud so, at Op's suggestion, I came over to Corsica by Clpriano's fast yacht yesterday."

New York team of oxen drawing a "prairie schooner." the driver of which was a rugged looking old man who wore typical western garb, including a sombrero, attracted great crowds on Broadway. The vehicle and driver were not only in striking contrast with the Jam of automobiles and carriages on the "Great White Way," but they were a decidedly novelty In New York. The driver was Ezra Meeker, a pioneer of the Oregon trail, who had returned over the trail he followed to the west half a century ago. All along Riverside, from Grant's tomb to street. Meeker was followed by an Interested and curious throng. When Broadway was reached the crowd was so dense that the oxen, which the hale old man afterward described as Dave and Dandy, had a hard time to make any headway. Meeker's trip ended at last at the Battery.. He had come all the way from I'uyallup, Wash., to Now York In 625 days. Meeker's object In making his unique Journey Is to persuade the government to build a national highway from east to west A ' Modern Turpentine Gathering.

All winter long the stock has rivaled the collar In lingerie neckwear, and now It .would seem that for those to whom laundry considerations need not hold terrors, the dainty slock has supplanted the less fragile collar of linen. The high turndown linen or lace col-la- r is still worn, but It Is not the latest word of fashion. v "Where a hpavy linen collar la required a 'straight embroidered collar fastening in the back Is newer than the old turndown model, and the popular turndown collar is now the low broad Dutch collar, so charmingly girlish but so trying to older women. In these low collars one finds the two extremes of finest lingerie material delicately embroidered, lace trimmed and heavy soft linen embroidered heavily or in open work design and if lace trimmed at all trimmed with substantial Cluny or Irish lace. Boty types will be much worn, and It would be hard to imagine a collar more comfortable for hot days, but, as we have hinted, it demands a youthful throat anj chin. One other type of turndown collar which merits a word Is the high stock collar of rather fine lawn with a flat embroidered Bcallop edge band of the lawn turning down all around to half s or of the collai depth. This fastens, behind and cuffs to match often accompany the collar. Another high collar, this time of finely embroidered lawn, has rabbit ear points turning down on It In the front, these points being embroidered and lace edged. A narrow frill of lace finished the bottom of the collar, as Is often the case with lingerie stocks, the lace softening the line adjoining and helping to hide all trace of the collar band. Of straight high lingerie stocks, embroidered or tucked or inset with lace, there is no end, and these in many instances depend for their cachet more upon the little cravat accompanying taem than upon their own merit. It is among these cravats that many of the neckwear novelties are to be found, but description of them Is difficult, since it is to the consummate daintiness of their embroidery, the clever shaping of the bow and its coquettish adjustment that so much of their effectiveness is due. Narrow lingerie cravats folded once and finished with narrow little bows whose ends are pointed, scallop edged and embroidered, are made up in finest white lawn with dainty colored embroidery, and are worn either around the base of the throat or around the top of a high lingerie stock. This idea of arranging cravat and bow at the top of the stock Is comparatively new, and the arrangement has a piquant air, but Is pretty only when the wearer has a long, slim throat. Some of the little embroi dered cravats and bows meant for such adjustment have a tiny plaited frill running around the upper edge and softening the line next to the . - three-quarter- throat.
