Out of bit sight, Nanette'e expres?
sion changed to one of ?ember
thoughtfulnees; it lingered as she en?
tered the) palace, with free awing,
mounted the steps to her mistress'
apartments; waa still there, when she
took i bit of embroidery from a table
and aeated herself at the window of
an antechamber, bent over her task.

her lap to the floor, a ad, leaning for?
ward, her Ann, bro'rn hands clasped
over her knees, she seemed to be ask
lag herself qnestkns, or weighing
problem.
"Tea; It la oar on.r chance." In her
a steady glow replaced the vary*
log Ughra. and, getting up with a sud?
den air of determination, Nanette
crossed the room to where, near the
door, stood a small desk. Glancln*
quickly around, she tested herself and,
reaching for paper and pen, wrote
carefully and somevhat laboriously a
few words. She had finished and
contemplating the result of her
eager efforts when a hand at the door
caused her to dash down the pen and 1
spring to her feet. As her aunt en- ',
tered. Nanette took a few steps for
ward, and. bending to pick up her
work from the floor, turned partly
away and thrust the paper Into the
bosom of her gown.
"I came to tell you supper la ready,**
?aid Marie quietly.
At the table with her aunt the girl's
manner wss subdued and deferential;
she observed the nloeet proprieties, {
and bestowed on the other's slightest
word a meed of attention calculated
to soften the old woman's attitude and
suspicions. And possibly succeeded;
or. It may be, Marie's own conscience
had begun to reproach her; for a uum
her of days had passed and nothing
had as yet occurred to Justify the
early apprehensions she had enter?
tained. Under the circumstances the I
meal wae a little prolonged; the first
shafts of twilight had entered the
courtyard and bad begun to steal into
the narrow chamber with darkening
effect, ere or an accord the two wom?
en pushed back their chslrs.
**lt gets dark early," said the girl.
**or time has passed quicker than I
thought. Perhspt It was what you
were telling me of the former lady of
the Mount She must have been very
beautiful I"
"She was." answered the woman;
"and aa good as beautiful!"
"Hetgh-ho!" Nanette sighed:
through the window wstrbed i'ie shad?
ows thst like dirk, trailing figures
seemed creeping jp the ancient wall
to caress snd linger on green leaves of
vines, bright flowers snd other living
things. "Hut 1 suppose she had every?
thing she wanted " The girl stirred
restlessly. "Whst sort of a man Is
Monsieur Heppo, aunt*"
"Heppo?" Recalled a* from a long
train of recollections, the woman did
not seem to notice the abruptness of
the Inquiry. "Oh, tie Is sn old and
faithful servant. For almost as many
years as 1 hare been here," with an
accent of pride, "has he served at the
Mount1"
"And his moral character, aunt?"
demurely
"Monsieur Heppo has a reputntlon
for piety, no doubt deserved!" re?
turned the woman, with an accent of
surprise. "At any rate, he seldom
misses a msss. Hut why do you ask?"
ifeeause I met him today and he in

"I didn't exactly know bow to re?

of him, am
In the gathering gloom the listener's
faoa seemed suddenly to grow grover;
her eyea, which had returned to the
Ktrl'a, express* d once more doubt And
misgiving. With her glance lifted up?
ward, however, Nanette did not aeem
to notice this lulck change. A star?
faint forerunner of a multitude of
watting orbH?peeping timorously
down from above the gray, gaunt masa
of atone, alone absorbed the girl'p
gaze and attention.
"Where were you thiuklng of go?
ing?" after a alienee of aome length
the older woman asked.
"! don't recall that Monsieur Beppo I
mentioned," was the low-murmured re-1
aponae. "But. of course, aunt, if you
object?"
*T do not know that I do," aaid the
other a'owly. "Only," aa if the thought
had aufidenly come to her, "what were
you writing at her ladyshlp'a dcek
when I went to call you?"
"Writing?" Nanette regarded her
blankly. "I don't understand you,
aunt."
"Weren't you writing something
that you hid In your dress when I
came?"
"No!" The girl looked fuU at the
other; denied point-blank the accusa?
tion. "Now that you speak of it, I be?
lieve I did step to the desk," she an?
swered glibly, "to look at aome orna?
ment; but aa for writing, or daring to,
I should not hare presumed."
A low discreet rap at the door Inter?
rupted, and. with a whispered "There
he la now!" Nanette cut short further
argument by rising.
"She la not telling the truth!" For
aome time the woman stood looking
down in gloomy thought after the two
had gone. "What doea it mean?"
Moving to a peg, she took down a
shawl. "What can it mean?" she
asked herself again, and, wrapping the
garment about her head and shoul
dera, left the room.
Half an hour later, at Beppo'a side,
on the beach, Nanette meaaured her
steps to his; listened to the old man's
platitudes, aad even turned a not un?
willing ear to sundry hints and In
nuendos of a tenderer nature. The
girl waa In her moat complaisant
mood, and, in hla role of dlacreet gal?
lant to young and blooming woman?
hood, the fat factotum strove to rnuko
the moat of the opportunity. He
sighed; bethought him of a sentiment?
al tale, and carped of tbe beauty of
the moon, then gilding the edge of
the Mount's high towers! She an
sw*ired; looked; but soon her eloquent
glance swerved to the Bands, dot led
by deitultory seekers of cockles, or
belated stragglers from the shore, and
faatened itself on a Jutting point of
the Mount
Near It, before a large rock of pe?
culiar shape, a man was engaged in
that common nocturnal labor of the lo?
cality, digging! As the couple drew
near, quickly he raised his gaze; gl?
most at once let it fall; engrossed in
hii' work, continued to toss the sand
and stood over it searchingly. Hut
when they bad gone by, once more ho
straightened, and, at the same time,
the girl looked back. Stalwart, black
bearded, a (tailor by his dress, the fel?
low made a Blgn. and, apparently . i
doubt aa to who ho was vanished from
Nanette's mind; for from the fingers
of the free hand she held behind her,
something fluttered to the beach.
Leaning to hi a implement, the man
regarded the paper, but not until tho
girl's low laugh waa heard, aa she and
Master Beppo vanished In the dark?
ness, did he step forward and secure
it
"3o! That waa It!" Breathleaa, In?
dignant, Marie, standing in the black
ahads of one of the Mount'a projec?
tions, watched the fellow read and re?
gard carefully the message in hla

and thrust them toward bis pocket

CHAPTER XXVIII.
The Hesitation of the Marquis,
The day of my lady's riding party
dawned; in the east a lender flame
burned, and, vanishing, left tho
heavers an unbroken blue. Shoreward
the mists rolled up, until only in the
neighborhood of the forts did the
white, aoft vapor linger. On the Mount
Itself sunshine held sway; It radiated
from the fortifications, "cuirass of the
rock," and gleamed on the church,
"tiara of Its majesty." It warmed a
cold palace of marble; looked In at its
windows, and threw bold shafts to
lighten dark nooks and corners.
But my lady, mistress of the Mount,
seemed not to foe! Ub benefloent
touch; standing in the full glow and
looking from hor casement she shiv?
ered a little. Already was she
dressed, and her habit of dark green,
: fitting close, served to accentuate the
whiteness of her cheek which general
absence of color, In turn, made the
more manifest certain dark lines be
Qeath the restless, bright eyea.
"Your Ladyship!" After knocking
?r. ' ain, Mario had entered the room
[ and set down the small tray ahe car?
ried. "Thero Is something your Lady?
ship ought to know!" with an air of
excitement
The Governor's daughter half
turned. "What now, Marie?" ahe aaid
sharply.
"it's about Nanette!" My lady mado
a quick movement of annoyance. Im?
patience. "I did not tail your Lady?
ship, but I was a verso to having hsjf
remain hero. Your Ladyship doea not
understand, of cours?-, and?"
"I do understand," said my lady un?
expectedly. "And?you need not ex?
plain I overheard you talking with
her that night of the banquet tM
"Your Ladyship!" startled.
"And I heard you speak of her fa?
ther, IMarre Laroche, friend of the
Black Seigneur "
"And engaged ner?after that!"
"Why not? I could watch?and I
have! But you were wrong, Marie."
My lady's manner was feverish. "Your
suspicions were ridiculous. There has
been nothing?nothing! And day aft?
er tomorrow is the wedding celebra?
tion, and the next day, he, the Black
Seigneur?" She broke off abruptly.
Had Marie been less wrought up,
lesa excited, less concerned with the
information she had to impart, she
could not have failed to notice the odd
break In her young mistress' voice;
something unusual, almost akin to de?
spair, In her manner. As It was, that
which weighed on the old nurse's
mind precluded close observation of
the other.
"But something has happened, my
Lady!" the woman half stammered.
"Comment!" The girl turned to her
sharply. "What? Explain. Marie!"

"Dear Mr. McAdoo: My attention
has been called to the statement that
I have become a member of the
Knights of Columbus This is, of
course, not true. 1 have not been
asked to Join the order, either as an
active or honorary member, and am
not eligible because I am not a Catho?
lic. I must warn my friends every?
where that statements of this kind are
all campaign inventions, devised to
serve a special purpose. This particu?
lar statement has been circulated in
selected quarters to create the Im?
pression that I am seeking to identify
myself politically with the great Cath?
olic body. In other quarters all sorts
of statements are being set afloat to
prove that I am hostile to the Catho?
lics. It Is a very petty and ridiculous
business. If all these fabrications
could be brought together they would
make a very amusing reading. They
would leave a very flat taste In the
mouth, for they would entirely neu?
tralize one another and prove that I
was nothing and everything. I am a
normal man following my own nat?

and class with impartiality and re?

fourteen feet, with all ease. Capt.
Stanwood owns an orchard near San

COULD HAVE CARRIED OHIO
But Big Bull Moose Took to the Ver?
mont Woods?Noted Woman Ex?
poses His Change of Front.
By IDA HUSTED HARPER.
The Progressive party had its first
o- rtunity to show its loyalty to the
11 suffrage plank in its platform
. the vote was taken in Ohio on a
,.v.w constitution. Forty-two amend?
ments were on the ballot, and all were
adopted except the one for woman {
suffrage!
Ohio is one of the "banner" Progres?
sive states, and Mr. Roosevelt expects
to secure its electoral vote. In order
to do this a plurality of the electors
must be Progressives, and they could
therefore have easily carried the suf?
frage amendment If all the others had
voted against it, as the vote on the
constitution was very light only a
few hundred thousand out of more j
than a million who were eligible. Did
he issue any orders to tills effect? Did
he say to his followers: "Now, here is !
our first chance to show the women ,
that we mean business. Of course If
WS win in November we will give the
franchise to all in the United States, j
but Just now we can make good by
giving it to those in Ohio, so let every ,
Progressive vote for the woman suf?
frage amendment?" Did he do this?
On the contrary, he completely ig?
nored the matter, although he passed
through Ohio the very day of the elec?
tion, j
A few days before, at St. Johnsbury,
Vt, Mr. Roosevelt had devoted a large
part of his speech to showing how
strongly he believed in the ballot for
women and how anxious he was for
them to get It. The question was not
an issue there or likely to be, but it .
was a vital issue in Ohio, to be settled
in four days, and yet not by spoken or
written word did he show to the peo?
ple of Ohio that ho knew of its ex?
istence.
Two days after the Progressive par?
ty in Ohio permitted the defeat of this
amendment its state convention met.
If any women were elected delegates
the press dispatches failed to mention
it, and In the platform a woman suf?
frage plank was conspicuous by its ab?
sence. "The Progressive party pledges
itself to the task of securing equal suf?
frage to men and women alike," says
Its national platform, and Ohio has
Just given the first example of the
way it apparently means to keep that
pledge.
In Mr. Roosevelt's second term the
suffragists determined to make every
possible effort to secure an indorse?
ment from him. As Miss Susan B.
Anthony's most eloquent letters to
him received no answer, she went In
person to see him in November. 1905,
Just four months before her death.
With all her powers of persuasion she
pleaded with him to recommend in his
forthcoming message some recognition
of woman's claim to a voice in the
government. I^aylng her hand on his
arm, she looked up into his face and
said, T beg of you to be the emanci?
pator of woman as Lincoln was the
emancipator of the slave." He was not
resembling Lincoln so much in those
days as he is at present, and he re- |
malned totally unmoved by her ap
peals.
Scant Courtesy at White House.
Shortly before he left the White
House several officers of the National
Suffrage association, realizing bis
great influence on public opinion, j
made one last effort to have him
speak a favorable word. He came Into
the outside lobby of the executive of- I
floe, required them to state their bust
noes before tho crowd waiting to see
him and would hardly give them a I
chance to speak, but kept saying, "Go I
and get another state." He shrugged
his shoulders and turned on his heel, I
and then they said. "If we will get up
a petition of a million names will that
influence you?" "No," he replied, "not
one particle."
That was in 1909. The next year a
letter from him was? read at an anti
suffrage meeting in the Herkeley thea?
ter, New York, in which he said: "I
am very tepid on woman suffrage."
The cause of woman's enfranchise?
ment has no more implacable enemy
than the Outlook, and Mr. Roosevelt
i Is on the editorial staff I^ast Fob
j ruary he had In that magazine a ten
column article entitled "Woman's
Rights," but the only right considered
was that of tho suffrage. Tho article
was such an excellent exposition of
the attitude of women who do not
wish to vote that tho Antl-suffrage as?
sociation ordered copies for distribu?
tion. In this article he Faid nKair.
"In our western states where the suf?
frage has boon granted to women 1 am
Unable to see that any great differ?
ence has been caused as compared
with neighboring states."
Ami yet Just four months after this
publication, when Mr Roosevelt had
definitely decided to make the contest
for tho presidential nomination, all his
scrupb's about forcing suffrage on a
hostile and Indifferent majority van
ishrd in thin air because a million and
a half already had votes and the colo
nel wanted them, and he knew they
wouldn't stand for any nonsense about

T?rke} ami Balkan UUcu Have l\w
Tha Turkish fleet conalats of three
battleahlpe and one cruiser hankglilui
two cruisers, four torpedo cruisers
ami one gun vessel, In-shies other ves?
sels, of which three transports lately
purchased from th<- North Qerman
Lloyd Company are especially worth
mention.
Two battleships, the Kheyr-ed
Din Barbarossa ami the Turgute Keis,
Were bought from Qei many, and were
formerly known as the Kurf?rst
Friedrich Wilhelm and the WslsSJSU
burg. They arc each of 9,900 tons,
l and were launchg in 1891. They are
undoubtedly efficient vessels.
The Turkish Government paid $4,
500,000 for them, and each carries six
12-inch guns, eight 4.1-inch guns, and
eight 3.4-inch guns with four ma?
chine guns. In addition they are fit?
ted with three torpedo tubes each, and
their speed is 17 knots. Their armor?
ed belts are 15 inches thic k, and their
decks are protected with 2 1-2 inches
of armor.
The third battleship, the Mes
j soudieh, is about the same size, but
I much older. She was launched on
the Thames in 1874 and has two 9.9
I guns, 12 six-inch guns, 14 three-inch
guns, and several weapons of small
calibre. Her speed is theoretically 17.5
knots and she has an armored belt
12 inches thick and one-inch plates
on her deck.
The cruiser-battleship, the Assar-i
Tewfik, is still older, as she was
launched in 1868, though like the
Messoudieh, she has he-en renovated.
Her armament consists of three 5.9
inch guns, seven 4.7-ineh guns, and
six six-pounders. She has a nominal
speed of 13 knots and a displace?
ment of 4,613 tons.
Of the two cruisers, the Abdul
Hamid, which has lately been re?
armed with Armstrong guns, was
built in England and was launched in
1903. She is of 3,800 tons, and has
a speed of 22.2 knots. Her armament
consists of two 6-inch guns, eight 4.7
inch guns, and smaller weapons. The
afedjtdtch, built at Philadelphia and
launched in 1903, is a little smaller
than the Abdul Hamid, having a
displacement of 3,432 tons. Het
speed is -2.2 knots and her arma?
ment is similar to that of the Abdul
Hamid.
Greece possesses only one modern
Vessel, an armored cruiser, Giorgos
Averoff, built at Leghorn in 1910.
She has a displacement of 9.956 tons,
and an armor belt varying from 8 to
S 1-2 Inches in thickness, with 1 3-4
Inch plates on her deck. Her speed
is 24 knots, and she is armed with
four 9.2-Inch guns, eight 7.5-inch
guns, 16 3-inch guns, and three sub?
merged torpedo tubes.
The three battleships of Greece, the
Hydra, Psara. and Spetsal, are small
and old. Built in France in 1SS9 and
1900, they are of only 4,*0a tons each,
with a nominal Speed of 17 knots.
Their armor varies from 11 3-4 inches
to 4 inches in thickness, and their
deck protection is 2 1-2 inches. Their
principal armament consists of three
10-6-inch Canet guns, five 5.9-inch
guns, and other smaller guns each.
They each have three torpedo tubes.
In addition Greece has three gun
vessels of British manufacture, dat?
