"TK other dny yon said yon were
lorry when you left mo in thnt hot
cellar," Bald Coquenll. "Now you're In
a fairly hot place yourself, baron, and
Tin not sorry."
Do Hcldclmnnn-Bruck shrugged bis
shoulders.
"The point Is." said the baron, "I am
String to pay the price that society er
acts when this sort of thing Is found
eut. I am perfectly willing to pay It,
sot in the least afraid to pay it and,
above all, not In tho least sorry for
anything. I want you to remember
that and repeat it. I hare no patlcnco
with cowardly, canting talk about re
Kwrse. I hnvu never for ono nionent
regretted anything I hare done, and 1
regret nothing now. Nothing.' I have
and flvc years of tho best this world
an give power, fortune, social posi
tion, pleasure, everything, and what
ever 1 pay I'm ahead of the game. I
want you to believe, though, that 1
was genuine when I said 1 liked you.
1 was ready to destroy you, but 1 liked
ju. I like you now, Coqucnil, and
this is perhaps our last talk; they will
take me off presently, and you collect
dd souvenirs here Is one a llttlo
goodby from an adversary who was
game, anyway. You don't mind ac
cepting It?"
There was something in the man's
Tolce thnt Coquenll had never heard
there. Was it a faint touch of sentl
Bent? He took the ring that the baron
sanded him. an uncut ruby, and look
ed at it thoughtfully.
lie handed back tho ring.
The baron's face darkened. lie
made an angry gesture. Then hn
twisted the ring In bis Angers.
"Ah, that pride of yours! You've
keen brilliant, you've been brave, but
sever unkind before. It's only a bau
ale, Coquenll, and"
De Heldelmann-Brack stopped sud
denly, and 11. Paul caught a savage
fleam in his eyes; then, swiftly, the
Isaron put the ring to his mouth and,
racking in his breath, swallowed hard.
The detective sprang forward, but it
was too late.
"A doctor quick!" he called to the
guard.
"No use!" murmured the rich man,
Inking forward.
Coquenll tried to support him, but
the body was too heavy for bis band
aged hand, and the prisoner sank to
the floor.
I I won tho last trick, anyhow,
the baron whispered.
Coquenll picked up tho ring that had
fallen from a nerveless hand. Ho put
It to his nose and sniffed it
"Prusslc acid!" he muttered.
Two minutes later, when Dr. Duprat
rushed in, tho Baron do Heldclmann
Brack, unafraid and unrepentant, bad
gone to bis last long sleep. His face
was calm, and even In death his lips
aeemed set in a mocking smile of tri
umph. When a sweet young girl finds her
aclf In serious debt to a man and at
tho same time ono of the richest heir
esses in the world, sho naturally
wishes to give some substantial form
to her gratitude, even to tho extent of
a few odd millions from her limitless
-store, which Alice was very glad to do.
At any rate, Coquenll xvtti hence
forth far beyond any need of follow
ing his profession. Whatever use he
might In tho future make of his bril
liant talents would be for the sheer
Joy of conquest and strictly In tho
Bplrlt of art for its own sake.
On tho other hand, if at any time
ho wished to undertake a case it was
certain that the city of Paris or the
government of France would tender
him their commissions on a silver sal
ver, for now. of course, his Justifica
tion was complete, and by special ar
rangement he was given a sort of rov
ing commission from headquarters,
with Indefinite leave of absence. Best
of nil, bo wiih made chevalier of the
legion of Honor "for conspicuous pub
lic service." What a day It was, to
be sure, when Mme, Coquenll first
caught sight of that precious red badge
on her son's coat!
As for tho lovers, thero Is only this
to bo said that they were ridiculous
ly, Indescribably happy.
Tho young American had ono griev
ance. "It's playing It low on a fellow," ho
said, "when he's Just squared himself
to hustle for a poor candle seller to
ckaugo her Into a howling millionaire.
I'd like to know how tho devil I'm go
ing to bo a hero now?"
"Silly boy!" sho laughed, her radiant
eyes burning on him.
"You darling!" he cried. "My little
Alice!"
Sho looked up at him archly.
"Uoyd, dear, I know a nicer name
than Alice or Mary,"
"What is It, you llttlo beauty?" ho
murmured, drawing her closer still
and pressing his lips to hers.
Then, with wonderful dancing lights
la thoso deep, strange windows of her
soul, she whispered, "The nicest name
In tho world for mo is Mr$. Lloyd Kit
tredget" THE END.

By A C.
Friday last I visitod Wolf Crook
with tho family of a friend and inin
istorinl brother, Bov. Mark C. Davis,
tho Sunday school missionary for
tho Congregational church m bouth-
orn Oregon. In passing lIohr over
tho route I noticed several changes
that had taken plnce siuco last lnll
and especially with regard to tho
iruit culture, for I could notice that
n number of tracts of land had been
recently put to fruit and that tho
families along tho route were turn
injr thoir attention to tho culture of
berries, and tho general appcarniijo
of things led mo to tho conclusion
that tho fanners of Roguo vnlloy
wore up to dato. I also noticed thnt
tho towns presented n much neater
appearance than what they did a
year ago. At Grants Pass wo were
led to think that wo had arrived at
a city of somo importance, as our
cars were greeted with the crying
of the venders of popcorn, ico cream,
Oregon npplcs, peanuts, etc., as well
as the names and prices of faro nt
the different hotels. I could seo that
there was considerable improvements
going on in the streets, but the main
part of tho town is so far from the
railroad that I could not sec much
of it. At that plnce the sheriff of
Josephine county and one of his dep
uties, H. X. Parker, boarded tho car
with Mr. McGuiries, on his way to
the penitentiary. Mr. Parker had his
family on board, and after leaving
the prisoner they intended to go on
to Washington to visit friends there.
By 8:30 p. m. I arrived at Wolf
Creek, where I was met by Mr. Da
vis, and after a horseback ride of
four miles reached his home, where
I found preparations being mndo for
a wedding tho following Sundny.
Sunday morning bj 9 o'clock some
of the invited guests began to arrive
and by 11 there were 21 of us thero
to enjoy the marriage festivities, and
nt 11 :10 George L. Howard and Miss
Maude Ellen Davis were joined in
matrimony by her father, Rav. Mark
C. Davis, under a beautiful arbor
that had been arranged of ever
greens and roses. After congratu
lations were over and the presents
were presented, photos of the bride
