"There was a young lady with Gil

"Yes; I remember." ,
"Hhe wns fair." persisted L'Aea-

"Yen; I th.uk so. I don't quite re

He stopped. There bad come to their
ears the sound of voices De Valette's
voice and Father O'Mara's. O'Mara,
good man of Ood and of men, was pro
testing. "Now, now, sir," he was ' saying,
"you're in no condition to go out again,
lou must rest."
They came through the gateway
from the bouse. De Valette answered
sadly:
"Rest! How can I rest?" His eyes
fell upon the little group of three, ey
ing them closely.
"Who Is this boy 7" he demanded;
then quickly: "You hare news of my
daughter? She baa been found hurt
perhaps? Why don't you tall me?
Speak!"
Raoul de Valette said slowly:
"I know nothing of your daughter
nothing except" He stopped. De
Valette cried, impatient:
"Except what?"
'Except," went on Raoul evenly,
"that she left the bouse Immediately
after being betrothed to me."
He paused.
In a different tone be continued,
"My cousin, I am obliged to decline
the hand of Mile, de Valette."
De Valette's brows contracted, nis
eyes grew narrow. His voice was
cold.
"Are you aware," he demanded,
"that such a statement must have uu
explanation?"
Raoul shrugged hi shoulders.
"Explanation!" be repented. "She

sufficient for me. But for yourself,'

"You were with Gilbert Steele, were

De Valette started.
"With Gilbert Steele?" he repented.
And ugaln, "With Gilbert Steele?"
She nodded lightly.

It was then that Crawley started to

For a moment she was silent, help

"Not Gilbert! Ah, God! Not Gil

At length she beard, as from a great
distance, the voice of her futher.

She swayed a little, clasping her

slowly.

It was Father O'Mara who spoke.
"To pray," she suld dazedly "to pray
for two lost souls. It was in the forest

She sank to her knees, clutching the
skirt of the priest's garment "Cdjme!"
she' cried feverishly. "We'll pray

again.
"But Gilbert Is dead!" Blio cried.
The little, frnll figure rose straight,
flgld, tense. The slender white arms
went forth, and then, with another
wild, piercing cry, she darted from
among them and was gone gone into
the depths of the dark woods.

Reptiles That Walk Erect.
Lizards of, several sorts' can walk
and run easily on their hind legs. The
Australian water lizard, which Is three
or four feet in leiigtb. keeps quite
erect when traversing long distances
on laud. It is fouud In the neighbor
hood of river banks and passes much
of its time In shallow water.
The frilled lizard of Queensland also
travels on its hlud legs on level ground,
keeping the frill folded when running.
When attacked it expands this fold of
skin, which stands out like a ruff at
right angles round the neck, giving It
a most formidable aspect, so that dogs
that attack and kill larger lizards wili
often retreat before a frilled lizard at
bay. 1
