He took her xmdly m his arms, kissed her and then urrled from tho room.

At last it tame. She heard tho quick step in the passage, the tap at the anteroom door and tho whispering of her page. Quiv ering with impatience, she rushed In and took the noto herself from the lusty cavalier who had brought It It was but six words scrawled roughly upon a wisp of dirty paper. It was her brother's writing, and It ran, "The arch bishop will not come tonight" i CHAPTER XI. DB OfcTINAT in tho meanwhllo was perfectly aware of the Importance of the mission which had been assigned to him. Ho knew enough of tho intrigues and antagonisms with which tho court was full to understand that every pre caution wa$ necessary in carrying out bis Instructions. He waited, therefore, until night had fallen before ordering his soldier-servant to bring round tho two horses to ono of tho less public gates of the grounds. As ho and his friend walked together to the spot bo gavo tho young American a rapid BKeb-of the situation at tho court and otwie chance that this nocturnal ride imlgjit bo an event which would nffect (tho future history of France. "Aro you armed T" he asked. "You bavo no sword or pistols t" "No; if I may not carry my gun I bad rather not bo troubled by tools that I havo never learned to use. I have my knlfo. But why do you askl" . "Because thero may be dager. Many have an Interest In stopping this mar riage. All tho first men of the ktng 'dom aro bitterly against it If they could stop us, they would stop It, for tonight at least" "But I thought it was secret" . "There Is no such thing at n court There is tho dauphin or tho king's ( brother. Either of them or any of their I friends would bo right glad that w shoujd be in the Solno before wo reach ed tho archbishop's houso this night Dut who is this?" A burly figure had loomed up through the gloom on the path upon which they wero going. As it approached, a col ored lamp dangling from one of the trees shone upon the bluo and silver of an officer of tho guards. It was Major de Brlssac of De Catlnafa own regi ment "Hellol Whither away?" he asked. I III! 95 ffSNwArx j mWHff IsHI ffjTTr i -JOIIH.,. HARPER & BROTHERS J "l go there myself within an Hour. Will you not wait, that wo may go together?" "I am sorry, but I ride on a matter of urgency." "Very good. Good night, and a pleas ant ride." "Is bo a truety man, our friend tho major?' askod Amos Green, glancing back. "True as steel." "Then I would hare a word with him." Tho American hurried back along the way they had come, whllo Do Catlnat stood chafing at this un necessary delay. It was a full five minutes beforo his companion Joined him, aud the fiery blood of the French soldier was hot with impatience. "I think that perhaps you had best ride into Paris at your lolsure, my friend," said ho. "If I go upon the king's service I cannot bo delayed whenever the whim takes you." "I am sorry." answered the other quietly. "I had something to say to your major, and I thought that maybo I might not seo him again." "Well, here nto tho horses," said tho guardsman as he pushed open tho postern gate. "Have you fed and wa tered them, Jaques?" "Yes, my captain," answered tho man. "Boot and saddle, then, friend Green, uud we shall not draw rein again until wo seo the lights of Paris." For a mile or more the conwudes galloped along. The road was very dark, and It was hard but for tho loom upon either side to tell where It lay. De Catlnat at least found It so, and ho peered anxiously over his horse's ears and stooped his face to the mane in his efforts to seo his way. "What do you make of tho road?" ho asked at last. "It looks as If a good many carriage wheels had passed over It today." "What! Mon Dleul Do you mean to say that you can seo carriage wheels thero?" "Certainly. Why not?" "Why, man, I cannot see the road at all." Amos Green laughed heartily. "When you have traveled in the woods by night as often as I have," said he, "when to show a light may mean to lose your hair, one comes to learn to use one's eyes." "Then you had best lido on, and I shall keep just behind you. So! Hola! What Is the matter now?" There had been the sudden sharp snap of something breaking, and tho American had reeled for an Instant In the saddle. "It's ono of my sflrrup leathers. It has fallen." "Can you find It?" "Yes, but I can rldo as well without It. Let us push on." "Very good. I can Just seo you now." They had galloped for about five minutes In this fashion, Do Catlnat's horse's head within a few feet of tho other's tall, when there was a second snap, and the guardsman rolled out of tho saddle on to the ground. He kept his grin of the reins, however, aud was up In nn Instant at his horse's bead. "A thousand thunders of heaven!" he cried. "What was It that happened then?" "Your leather has gono too." "Two stirrup leathers In five min utes?" "It Is not possible that it should bo chance." said the American gravely, swinging himself off his horse. "Why, what is tills? My other icatner is cut. "And so Is mine. I can feel It when I pass my hand along. Havo you ft tinder box? Let us strlko a light." "No, no; the man who Is In the dark la In safety. I let my enemy strlko lights." "My rein Is cut also." "And so Is mino." "And tho girth of my saddle." "It Is a wonder that wo camo so far with whole bones. Now, who has played us this llttlo trick?" "Who could it bo but. that rogue Jaques? He baa bad tho horses In his charge. By my ftdtto, ho shall know what tho strappado iteaua wneu l seo Versailles again!" "But why should he do ltV" "Ah. ho has been Bot on to It Ho bas been a tool in the hands of those who wished to binder our Journey." "Very Ilko. But they must havo bad .fume reason behind, l'hey knew well that to cut our straps would not pre vent us from reaching Paris, since wo could rldo bareback or, for that mat ter, could run it if need be," "They hoped to break our necks." "One neck thoy might break, but scarco tboso of two. They could not bavo thought to stop us. What did they mean, then? They could only have meant to delay us. And why should they wish to delay us?" "For heaven's sake" broko In Do Catlnat Impetuously. "Why should they wish to delayus, then? There's only one reason that I can see In order to give other folk tlmo to get In front of us and stop us. That is It, captain. I'd lay you a beaver skin to a rabbit pelt that I'm on tho track. There's been a party of a dozen horsemen alomr this around (To Be Continued.) WANT A IK WANTED.
