Arthur iZnnrlT VbCm' They sat In ror?i#? ante-chamber communicat ing with tho room In which Antoln food Ihl* ?ld, Nan?n had Prepared food there, and they all sat down and ?ft the door between the two apartments a little ajar, that he might hear the sound of moving it she was to awaken. Not to dis turb her rest they moved quietly aud spoke in low voiccs. The Cure sat opposite to Arthur. He had a gentle, pleasant face, wlt!^ the kindly exp*easiou of interest in all the world, worn so cftsn by those who havo known no great cares, and havo traversed no heights or depths of weal or woo. ?' Arthur felt very grateful to thera for coming back to him; it took away the feeling of forlorn loneliness which had been creeping upon him, making him dread he scarcely knew what. "I fear, I greatly fear, In spite of our conviction of his Innocence, that old Battl6te will be condemned," said Monsieur Tasset, mournfully. "I cannot see who else can have been guilty, although I feel morally sure that ho i3 not; but everything is against him. It seem3 ho has, with out the smallest scruple, said that he possessed a duplicate key of liia master's room." "A duplicate key!" exclaimed the Cure. "Then why did he suffer the doors to be broken down?" "Ho does not know what has be come of it. He will not, or cannot, say why or when it was lost, lie is half in his dotage." "But that he should have men tioned that duplicate key doe3 not seem like Ruilt, and must be In his favor," said the Cure, quickly. "So It is old Battlsto whom they accuse?" said a voice, very gently and slowly, whose tones mada all three start to their feet. It was Antoinette. She had come into the salon and had heard the last words. She was perfectly calm, but she had pushed back all the fair hair from her brow, and that and her deadly pallor gave her a look of ex treme desolation. Arthur advanced quickly to lend her to a chair. She gently put him aside, and leaning one baud o;i tli? table, she said: "It was not Battlste, Messieurs; of that I can assure you." "If, Madcinoiseiie, yuu have indeed any proof." said Monsieur Tasset, eagerly, "then it may Indeed save the old man's life." She sank into a chair, and her pa thetic eyes turned from oue to an other of the three anxious tacca. "Messieurs," she said, "tell me the truth as you hope for salvation. Will Battiste bo condemned?" A cold terror of what she might be going to do or say struck upon Arthur's heart. He spoke eagerly. "Not necessarily, Antoinette. Juries rarely convict on circumstan tial evidence only. There is an ab sence of motive admitted, and wo have yet to communicate with your cousin. " She turned her eyes from him to Tasset. "An Englishman cannot bo fully conversant with French law," she said. "I conjure you to tell me the truth. Will ho bo condemned?" "I fear, I greatly fear," lie stam mered. Arthur shrank back, shrank back ! against ti!<? wall. Ho knew what waj | coming. She turned to him with her j eyes looking up to his, wild, despair ing, terrified. "No! no!" he cried. "Do not ask ma! I cannot! " I "Your oath!" she answered, in a; voice out of which all tone had died away. "Heaven help me! Must It be?" She only repeated once more, "Your oath!" As If under a resistless spell, he placed tho talisman in her out stretched hands. The silver case fell to tho ground. In tho dead silence that followed, they heard the clink ing of tho metal a3 it rolled away from under foot. Antoinette had covcred her faco with her hands. She remained so for somo minutes, so long that Tasset and tho Cure glanced at each other, foarful lest she should have fainted. Arthur never moved. Ho stood fas cinated. motionless. Ho put his finger to his lip when they would havo inter rupted her. At last she put down her hands and rose slowly to her feet, and tho three men started with a thrill. A most strange and awful change had passed over her, nil tho softness had gone out of her fnc?. It was hard, rigid, carved In marble, like that of Medusa. Tho Irtrge, gray eye3 strained wide r. pen, the lips apart; all tho wild, fair hair, blown back ward, seemed to stand erect round hor head as If it had been a halo. She saw nothing, heard nothing of those beside her. Then for tho first tlmo tho two perceived that she held be tween her hands, In a strange, stilT way, a slender willow wand, and they knew Instinctively what It. was. "No, no," cried the Cure, springing forward; but the Mayor put his hand on his arm; he was watching with a strange fascination. "Oently, gently, Monsieur le Cure," ho said. "Who darea say that this power is other than from Heaven!" Then the Cure also drew back, and they stood watching. AntolnettD was on tho scent.

The out put of the Virginia Carolina Com pany, with heaquarters at Richmond, Virginia, is too well and favorably known throughout the country to need much iu the way of advertising, so the annual is more in the nature of a handbook of useful information, and can be had free of charge by addressing the Virginia-Carolina Chemical Company, Richmond, Va. Every live fanner should get a copy. Odds and Ends. Women don't have to swear to ?how how mad they are. There ore other way*. Some girls are so anxious to make names for themselves they misspell the front and then change the rear one. Often the man wt> has the price of a good coat in his pocket doesn't care how shabby the pocket may be nor the coat it belongs to. If the Standard Oil octopus were conversationally inclined it would be interesting to hear it discourse upon "Some Statesmen I Have Met." The boy born with a silver spoon in its mouth docn't cut its wisdom teeth any earlier than the kids who come without any baggage. Some people are so proud of their humility that they a;o constantly committing indiscretions in order that they may gracefully apologize for them. Some women are such slaves to dress they are willing to work for their clothes. Perhaps you can't help feeling en vious, but at least you can help show ing it and so making yourself ob noxious. It is no direct evidence that you are going to have uninvited com pany because you have only scraps for dinner. Still, you would better have your weather eye out. You can't always tell how much money a woman spends .by merely knowing how much salary her hus band draws, but taking it by and large it's a pretty safe guess.
