Ueur. We took from her her gown and.
put It on Cecile. She never left the
place again until the carriage stopped
to take her to the boat. As for us. we
were his slaves."
There was no need that she should
ten me more.
"And the gold?" I asked.
She drew a key from her pocket and
gave It to me.
"It Is in a box upstairs," she said.
1 took the key and followed her to
the floor above. The box, of heavy oak,
bound with iron, with steamship- and
express labels fresh upon It, stood In
one corner. I unlocked it and threw
back the lid. Package upon package
lay in it. Just as they had come from
(the subtreasury. I locked the box
again and put the key in my pocket.
"Of course," I said as I turned to go,
I can only repeat your story to my
companion, lie and Miss Holladay
will decide what steps to take."
They bowed without replying, and I
went out along the path between the
trees, leaving them alone with their
dead.
Joy is a great restorer, and a week
of happiness in this enchanted Paris
had wrought wonders in our junior
and his betrothed. It was good to look
at them, to smile at them sometimes,
as when they stood unseeing before
some splendid canvas at the Louvre.
The past was put aside, forgotten.
They lived only for the future.
And a near future too. There was no
reason why it should be deferred, and
so they were wedded, with only we
three for witnesses, at the pretty
chapel of St Luke's, near the Boule
vard Montparnasse.
There was a little breakfast after
ward at Mrs. Kemball's apartment.
and then our hostess bade them adieu,
and her daughter and I drove with
them across Paris to the Gare de Lyon,
where they were to take train for a
fortnight on the Riviera. We waved
them off and turned back together.
'It is a desecration to use a carriage
on such a day," said my companion.
So we dismissed ours and sauntered
toward the river.
I "So that is the end of the story," she
said musingly.
j "Of their story, yes," I interjected.
; "But there are still certain things I
do not quite understand," she contin
ued, not heeding me.
I "Yes?"
! "For instance, why did they trouble
to keep her prisoner?"
j "Family affection?"
"Nonsense! There could be none.
Besides, the man dominated them, and
I believe him to have been capable of
any crime."
"Perhaps he meant the hundred thou
sand tn h onlv the first nflrmont With
! her at hand, he mlcht hone to set more
Indefinitely. Without her"
Well, without her?"
Oh, the plot grows and grows the
more one thinks of It! I believe It grew
under his hands In Inst the same way.
I don't doubt that It would hare come
at last to Miss HoUaday's death by

have been a great man oh, a very
great man!"
My companion nodded.
"Touche!" she cried.
I bowed my thanks. I was learning
French rapidly.
"But Frances did not see them again?"
"Oh, no. She preferred not."
"And the money?"
"Was left In the box. I sent back
the key. She wished it so. After all.
It was her mother"
"Yes, of course. Perhaps she was
not really so bad."
"She wasn't," I said decidedly. "But
the man"
"Was a genius. I'm almost sorry he's
dead."
"Pm more than sorry. It has taken
an Interest out of life."
We had come out upon the bridge of
' Austerlltz and paused involuntarily.
"And now the mystery is cleared
away," she said, "and the prince and
the princess are wedded, Just as they
were In the fairy tales of onr child
hood. It's a good ending."
"For all stories," I added.
She turned and looked at me.
"There are other stories," I explained.

I dared not look at. her. I could only
stare ahead of me down at the water.
She made no sign; the moments
passed.
"Might be," I said desperately. "But
there's a wide abyss between the pos
sible and the actual."
Still no sign. I had offended her I
might have known!
But I mustered courage to steal a
sidelong glance at her.
She was smiling down at the water,
and her eyes were very bright.
"Not always," she whispered. "Not
always."

his friend, part
ner and body
guard. A mem
ber of Lincoln's
cabinet wrote of

' about his trials
and troubles in conducting his great of
fice." Born in Virginia in 1826 or 1S27.
Lamon at an early age removed to
Danville, 111. He practiced law at Dan
ville, and in 1S52 a card in the Illinois
Citizen of that place announced that
"Abraham Lincoln, Springfield, and W.
H. Lamon, Danville, Attorneys at Law,
having formed a co-partnership, will prac
tice in the Courts of the Eighth Judicial
Circuit and the Superior Court, and all
business intrusted to them will be at
tended to with promptness and fidelity."
When Mr. Lincoln was making his plans
to leave Springfield for "Washington for
his first inauguration his friends became
greatly alarmed for his safety, discover
ing, as they thought, that a widespread
plot existed for the abduction or assassi
nation of the president elect en route.
Mr. Lamon was selected by Mr. Lincoln
to be his bodyguard on the journey.
'When the memorable trip was made
Mr. Lamon was more than six feet high,
strong, stout and athletic. He was, says
another intimate personal friend of Mr.
Lincoln, "a Hercules In stature. He was
skilled in all the ways of the manly art
and, although prudent and cautious, was
thoroughly courageous and bold."
After Mr. Lincoln was Inaugurated one
of his first ofllcial acts was to appoint

other things, with the duty ofsecurfng
the personal safety of the president and
the other high governmental officials. ,
It is said on good authority that there
was not a time during the civil war when
there was not In Washington or BalU
more or in the vicinity of those clUes
some conspiracy to injure or capture Mr.
Lincoln or one or more of the members
of his cabinet. Mr. Lamon has left it on
record that he discovered and foiled many
such plots the details of which have never
come to the light of public knowledge.
It may be asked why so vigilant a body
guard, aided by all the resources of the
federal and district governments, could
not prevent or foil the fatal pistol shot
of Booth on the night of April 14, 1865.
The answer may be found partly In Mr.
Lincoln's own words "You may guard
me at a single point, but I will neces
sarily be exposed at others. The truth Is,
If any man has made up hia mind that he
will give his life for mine he can take
mine" and partly in the fact that on
April 11, 1S65, Mr. Lamon was sent by the
president to attend a convention neia in
Richmond for the purpose of devising
means to get that state back into the
Union.
Before leaving for Richmond Marshal
Lamon had a final interview with the
president. "Make me one promise," said
he to Mr. Lincoln. "What is that?" asked
the latter. "Perhaps I can." VI want you
to promise me not to go to the theater
during my absence." After some further
talk the president said, "I will do the
best I can." and then, turning to John P.
Usher, secretary of the interior, who was
present at the interview, he said, in sub
stance, "My friend is crazy on the sub
ject of my assassination."
When Secretary Seward regained con
sciousness after the attack upon him,
made at the same time that Mr. Lincoln
was shot, almost his first words on learn
ing that the president was dead were:
"Where is Colonel Lamon? If he had
been in the city this would not have hap
nened." Many times afterward he re
peated this remark, and his words were
echoed by those who were nearest ana
dearest to the martyred Lincoln.

dollars, was thus deliberately
made a target for another ship.
The idea was to ascertain what
would be the effect of impact of
shots upon the turret of a modern
battleship. The range was short
in order to minimize the possibil
ity of not hitting the turret, and
the turret was covered with addi
tional plating so that there was no
risk of penetration. The report of
this teBt was not given out.
