America’s Most Exclusive Bathing Place He spoke ■ great many more equally eloquent words, for he liud the gift of speech, had lids drover from Alncourt. A rough fellow, It Is true, but one with his heart In the right place, and born In the district, too; anyone could tell that by the contemptuous way with which be spoke of any stranger born outside this corner o f Hein* et Oise. He was listened to with great alien tlon, was the driver. And hi* words presently carried all the more weight because something very strange came to ligh t It appeared that the dili gence from Molsson with prisoner* and escort had made a halt of several hours In Mantes. The party only made s fresh start In the late afternoon. \ That was strange enough. I d all con science I Wbat did It mean but that Lauxet was courting th* darkness for his achemes? But there was some thing more mysterious still. While the diligence stood before the posting Inn ready to sta rt horses pawing and champing, tha driver on his box, whip In band, the four troopers who wera on guard to right and left o f the vehicle would not allow anyone to come within measurable distance of tt Be It noted that all the blinds of the coach were drawn so that It was Impossible to get ■ peep at the In side. But two young men, strangers to the neighborhood, who had since come forward, eager to tell their story, more venturesome than others, had crept onder th* horses' bellies and | tried to peer Into the Interior o f th« coach. They were almost Immediately driven away with blows and curses j by the troopers, hut not before they had vaguely perceived that there were | more than Just the prisoners Inside j the diligence. The prisoners were all huddled up In the farthest corner o f the vehicle, but thers were others. The young men who had had a peep, despite the blows from the troopers, had seen three or four men at least. They might have been ordinary traveler* who hnd picked up tbs diligence at Mantes. But In that case, why all this secrecy? Why the drawn blinds, the start I d the tote afternoon so that the shades o f evening would actually be drawing In when the diligence and ; Its escort plowed Its way through the muddy road of the forest between Mexleres end Epone? Why s feeble escort of only four men when of late as many as eight or ten picked troop ers of the national guard had ridden beside the diligence? Indeed, the drover from Alncourt was right. Indubitably right Cltlxen Lauxc-t and his friend from Paris had entered Into a plot, a dastardly, cow ardly plot, to cheat the cltlxen* ot Molsson o f their Jnst share In the cap ture o f the Scarlet Pimpernel. There was no doubt that the Scarlet Pim pernel was already captured, and that I^uset was having him conveyed In secret to Paris. The escort might ap pear feeble, but there were men In side the diligence who held the Eng lish spy, bound hand and foot, be tweeD them with a cocked pistol at hi* head. Why I The two young stran gers who bad succeeded In getting a | peep at the Inside of the diligence quite thought, from the description every one had of him, that one o f the men whom they glimpsed was In very truth the Scarlet Pimpernel. “ He was so tall." they said, “ so tall that he had to sit almost bent double, otherwise tils bead would have knocked against the roof of the coach !* They were almost prepared to swear also that this tall man's hands were tied together with ropes. After that, as th# driver from Aln court very properly said, any man would be s fool who doubted 1-auxet's treachery and cupidity. It wns re solved to proceed Immediately In his wake, to seize him wherever be might be, him and any man who had helped him In bis treachery. Aye, If be had an army to protect him. be would And that the men of M o I ssod and Mantes were not to be flouted and cheated with Impunity. The drover from Aln court wns bribed to take the party I d his cart ss far as Mexleres. He de murred a little at first; seemed to turn crusty nnd was Impervious to threats. Eventually be was offered one bun dred livres out of every man's share If the English spy was captured and one tlvre If he was n ot “ Eh blenl“ he satd at last In token o f consent and they all scrambled back Into the cart busied himself with examining tbs fetlock of th* mar* who hail gone lame. The wind had gone down and the torrential rain had ceased, but there w iis a thin mlst-llke drixxle that soaked through the men's dom ing and chilled them to the bone. The tension hnd become acute. With nerves on edge the men, those who were In the open as well as those who were cooped up Inside the diligence, could do noth ing hut wait whlls th* time dragged on and the shades o f evening drew In ground them. The silence In the woods was full ot sounds; o f the cracking o f twigs, the full o f rnln-laden leaves, the scrunch ing o f earth under tiny, furtive feet srorrylng away through the under growth. The great, awkward diligence loomed out o f the mist like some gigantic, spectral erection, peopled by forms that breathed and lived and hardly emitted a sound. Only very oc casionally from the Interior there came the painful moan, quickly sup pressed. from th# poor Invalid's parched throat. And all at once something more tangible, a patter o f feet, a call, a voice half drowned In the gathering rnUL It came way down the road, from the direction o f Mexleres. The men sat up, alert, quivering with ex citement, their eyes straining to pierce the thicket, since the sharp bend In the road hid the oncomera from v<ew. The order was to feign Inattention, to wait for the attack, lest the Wily enemy scenting a trap scampered away to safety. And the men waited, very much like greyhounds held in leash, quivering with eagerness, their hot, moist bands grasping saber and pistol, the while Captain Itaffet, as keenly alert as they, carried on a J An excellent air view o f the moat exclaulv* mithin« |>lace In the country—Halley's beach nt N e w p o r t .
