tX time passed' quickly enough, far the
major and 1 talked all the time of
= what we thought to do and haw we
m; should do It. The boldest p'.nn pleased
a a us best, and we meant to row straight
for the yacht with all hands, picking
ler- up Joe by the way. board her ami trust
to luck and bounce for the rest.
Ing Night came about 8 o'clock, dark
mo and starless. It was best to get to
?et- work right away, and we were to start
for about 0. But a little before that we
off heard shots and the noise of a rumpus,
on. faint, but distinct, in the distant. Something
was up. certain sure, and in the
mo direction of the hay, for the sounds
on came from the yacht,
to "Better not poke our uoses Into any
row, not till we're driven to It." the
wo major said quietly. "The ulght's

get so wo waited lialf en liour, and
ich were on the point of starting out on

still kept his lookout on the yacht. Alope
though It had fallen dark, he could
nk- make out her hull on the water plainly;
hoy there were lights, too, aboard, with
I'm streaks and reflections strong enough
to show up parts of her.

pass on his news to us. The quickest ,
way would be to row out in the dingey;
bo he ran her back Into the water and |
pulled out to the sea. coasting the far ,
Bide and giving the yacht a wide berth.
When almost off it. a tlcrce row broke
out aboard. Six shooters were let off, ,
several shots, pretty quickly followed ^
by yells and curses. Joe saw that the |
disturbance was heard on shore; lights t
began to dance about In the village, r
and the alarm was given. y
"They'll soon have the gendarmes on r
tlicir backs. Now's our time. We'll
take the dingey back; It will be an ex- ,
cuso for getting on board," said the
major. "Sharp's the word, skipper.
fl
Man the boat, every soul you can n
spare, cast loose and give way."
A shore boat was already alongside
when we got to the yacht; It had B
brought the authorities, for when we
hailed the answer came in French to g
keep off, that the police were in charge, ,
and If we had anything to say It must ,
be by daylight. *
"Anyway, we'd belter bring the tug ^
fnto the bay and lie close handy
against the morning," I suggested, and y
the advice was considered good, al- y
though the skipper did not much like
the Job of entering a strange place la
the dead of night. ?
There were more difficulties made ^
next day, and it was quite late before
the major and I set foot on the Fleur- n
de-Ids. Some more big French toads
had come off from shore?a magistrate,
one or two doctors, and an officer of
gendarmes?and they had begun a ^
"verbal process," as it Is called; for
there had been wounding and attempt- ^
ed murder, so they said, on board the
yacht.
The long qud the short of it was ^
that the rogues had fallen out among
themselves; with good reason, too,
from the point of view of some of
them. McQualie, the colonel from
Klondike, had fallen nut n-itii t
for assisting our captain to escape
from the yacht, and loosed off at him
directly Wood was missed. lie was a <
quick shooter and had pretty well tilled ^
Lawford up with lead, so full that It
might go hard with him. ._
nave some talk with "
him, in which a little light was thrown '
on recent proceedings. William Wood
has been brought thus far In the Flourde-Ids,
a close prisoner, but by Lawford's
help had broken out and got to
shore in the dingey. lie, of course,
was the man Joe had seen.
Questioned as to the confidential
papers, and whether they were on .
board, Lawford shook his head.
"The duke has stuck to them. 1
There's money in them, a big pile, and ^
he's crossing the pond by tomorrow's ^
mail to sell them to Uncle Sam. Guess
you won't overtake him, and if you try
to stop him on lauding he'll have the ^
American government on his side.
They're hungering for those papers, .
you bet" jj
"You are positive they are not
here?" insisted Thoruhlll.
"Don't I tall you? I'm likely to get ^
nothing more from this crowd except
my death, and It's to my advantage to j
serve the other side. If you want those .
papers, you must look for them on the
Chattahoochee, and she leaves Southamplon
tomorrow (Sunday) morning." n
It was now only tlie afternoon of .
Saturday, and we might have done It c
well starting back full steam ahead at u
once. But French police and French _
lawyers are a sight slower and more
interfering than the British, and they j.
wanted all of us to sign a new "verbal n
process" all about ourselves. The for- p
malltics were uot completed by Sun v
day morning, and by the time we were
ready to start for England the Chatta- g(
hochee must have already left the p
Solent.
n
We made, therefore, for Weymouth, ^
the nearest point, and landed late that p
night. Thence the major and I took ,,
the cars for London, neither of us re
markably happy, for the whole bloom- t
log business was more or less of a ?
fizzle. j

The entry into womanhood is a 1
critical time for a girl. Little menstrual
disorders started at that time soon
n grow into fatal complications. That
female troubles are filling graveyards
proves this. Wine of Cardui establishes
a painless and natural menstrual

is started right, a healthy life will
usually follow. Many women, young
