Tha Contrabandist; :OR: One Lite's Secret! CHAPTER IX.-(Continueu.) Helen Montauban did not answer. But, at that moment, Lord Egerton directed towards her a glance, sorrowful and un quiet, and to Louli, who bent over her, that touched her, In the midst of her happiness, almost to tears, It told so elo quently of his true feelings, which he had been trying to hide aver since the arrival of Louis. It warned her that she was not yet forgotten that he loved her yet that he would have given worlds for the place occupied by another near her, nd which he waa not allowed to secure. The following morning, Louis, entering the library during his uncle's absence, found Roue reading In a great armchair by herself. She rose, with a slight blush, as he entered, and after exchanging a few worda with him, was about to leave the apartment. "Nay, Rose do not go away quite yet," h said, in a gentle tene. "I .have seme thing I would say to you. Will yon not wait one moment?" "If you please, monsieur," she answer ed. "In a little town, not many leagues from here, I met a friend of yours, or one who professed to be so. I am not quite sure that he is not an Impostor but no matter. His name was Robla." "Ah Robin!" she repeated, In a sub dued tone of mingled sadness and tender ness. "You know him, then, dear Rose?" said Ixuis. "But listen, dear cousin. This young gardener declared to me that you GASPARDB'S DESPPERATK THREAT. were betrothed to him! ne had been In my employ. I had discharged him be cause he no longer wished to remain with me. But he returned, after a long ab sence. He wished to become the possess or of a certain sum, he aald, In order that he might purchase a small farm, and set tle down: and In questioning further, I gained this Information. Was not such a assertion ridiculous, dear Rose?" With an earnest, unquiet glance, he watched her countenance. It was cover ed with a deep blush. Tears were in her yes. "It la true!" she said, In a low and sad voice. He looked at her a moment in silence. "Rose, Is this possible?" he asked, at length, with an accent of subdued aston ishment. "I have said It," returned the young girl, inexpressibly pained by his man ner. "But, Rose, think a moment a gar lenerl You, so young, so beautiful, the adopted child of a nobleman of most princely wealth! But forgive me for give me, dear child 1 I would not offend r hurt yon. I am surprised hurried way, by this unexpected announcement -this confirmation of a most unpleasant fact Rose, does my uncle know of this?" "Alas, no!" answered the weeping girl. "Nor Helen?" "No!" "My poor Rose! Ah, they take so much pride In you we are all so proud of you! We love you, my child. We would give yon a higher lot than this a station more worthy of you. What will they say? Think, dear Rose what a terrible blow to them!" "I know it," she said, in troubled voice "I know it! I should have told them when they wished to take me. I hould have known that I should only work evil by coming hither. I should have remained In the lowly home they took me from. Ah, I shall repay with In gratitude their kindness to me the love they feel for me!" fhe lesned forward npon the table, and kid her face In her hands. "But, dear Rose, reflect; there Is time yet," be urged, with a tone of earnest ness and affection. "You would degrade yourself, dear Rose, were you to wed blm. You would not reader him happy, for he could not understand you. You would both be miserable, and you will break our hearts. Rose!" She raised her head; and checking her tears, looked st Louis mournfully. "Monsieur, I cannot break his heart!" she said, gently. "He loves me he trusts la me. I will not break my promise; I cannot do It I will make Robin happy." "Rose! and you will lore him still?" Be listened, breathlessly. "I shsll love him and serve him till I die. monsieur." She said It with mournful calmness. She bent and touched her lips to his sad. Then, turning, she left the room, without once looking bsck. CHAPTER X. The next dsy a domestic came to the door of the ehamuer, and gave to Rose note which she stated had been deliver ed to Jean Morel, one of her fellow-servants, who had entrusted It to her for mademoiselle. "Who gave It to Jean, my good girl?" sked Rose, thoughtfully. "A rough-iooking fellow, mademoiselle, he told me. He came np to the chateau few minutes ago. But Jeaa did not know who he was. He has never seen bin k-fora." A X TRUE STORY $ OF $ THE SOUTH f OF 1 FRANCE She went away; and, wonderingly, Bose unfolded the. paper. Inside was written merely the words: "Come down to the cottage, dear Rose, a few mo ments. I will meet you there. I must speak with you directly. Hugh La nionte." "He has returned, then?" said Rose, to herself; "and he is waiting for me! Yes yes! I will go this moment. I will ask blm to stay at home and take me back, and then I will tell them. They will be glad, perhaps, to have me go, when they learn that I have taken my destiny Into my own banda." Throwing a handkerchief over her head, and wrapping a light mantle about her, she fastened the door of her apart ment, and without asylng a word to any ese concerning her intention or allowing herself to be seen, she silently and secrete ly .left the chateau by a side door, and going round the descent to the valley by a little-frequented path, waa soon on the path leading to her former home. Rose looked to see her father at the door; but he was not there, and conclud ing that she should find him within, she hastened forward, and had almost reach ed the door, when Gasparde appeared on the threshold. "Good morning, my fair cousin!" he said, In answer to her brief and some what surprised greeting. "May I ask whom you seek?" "My father, Gasparde. He Is here is he not?" "He Is ready to see yon, If you will enter," answered Gasparde, stepping aside for her to pass In. Rose waa about to do ao, when some thing In the glance or manner of this man struck her unpleasantly. She hesi tatedpaused. "If he Is within," she said, "why does he not come to meet me when he hears my voice?" "You must come In, Robs, before you can see him," he returned. "Come en ter! What are you afraid of? Come In." "But I will not come in till I have seen him. He must come to the door. Will you ask him to do so? Father!" the called. There was utter silence. "I do not believe he Is here. You are deceiving me, Gasparde!" she cried. A horrible fear a suspicion of treachery, filled her mind; she trembled and turned deadly pale. Gasparde smiled. It was the smile of an Incarnate Bend. His hand was laid upon her arm. "Ah! you begin to suspect, my pretty one!" ha said. "Let me go, Gasparde!" she cried, af frightedly. "I am faint," murmured ahe, te herself, "and there la no help near. O, pity pity!" "Nay don't be In a hurry, my sweet Rose; you see I am not," he said, still holding her arm. "Yes you are right; your father Is not here, nor will he be. I sent for you to come. I waited for you. And now it is your turn to beg. You know how scornful you were once. You would not listen to my prayers. Times are changed now. I have trapped you cleverly; you shall not escape, I promlae you!" "O, hare mercy, Gasparde! ahe plead ed. "Go on, my dear! I like to hear yon. Ah, this Is charming!" "Gasparde, you told me once yon were sorry for persecuting me so, and I be lieved you I forgave you. You do not mean to keep me here; yea will let me go; yon are only jesting," she prayed la her agony. But he scowled at her with a glower ing expression. "Yon are mistaken entirely, my dear. What! let my prise go the moment I get It Into my hands? No not I mean to take good care of you, my fair Rose. I mean you ahall marry me shortly, wheth er you will or not You cannot say nay. If you would. How does that suit yen?" But his words fell on ear that beard them not A mist floated before the eye of Rose; a rushing sound, as of swelling waters, was about her, and ahe fell sense less to the earth. At that moment a man sprang hastily through the bushes. It was Jacques Le roux. He gated, first at the prostrate fignre of Rose, and then at Gaaparde. "Well, what now?" asked the ruffian, angrily. "So yon have got her? Poor Roes! It ahall not be It must not be! Leave her!" he said, excitedly. "Little Rose, I will tare you!" "Ah!" shouted Gasparde, In a tone of rage; "out of the way I Do yon dare at tempt mutiny? Touch her, aad yon die." And drawing from hia belt a brace of heavy pistols, be presented them, with an oath, at Jacques. The action was so sudden that the man started back. Gasparde took tlx moment to blow a call npon a silver whistle bear ing at bis breast Almost Instantly half a dosea brigands surrounded blm. "Seise that fellow!" ottered their lead er, .i 'and take him to the cave. Bind him hand and foot. In one of the cells, and put a guard over him. I will teach you," he added, threateningly, "what it is to meddle with my concerns!" The men lost no time in executing their orders. Jacques, knowing it was use'ev to resist, submitted. He was bound and led through the winding paths of the ad joining grove, and onward to .the forest beyond; while Gasparde followed, bear ing in bis arms the form of the insensible Rose. On and on they went, through the lonely depths of the forest, till they reach ed a place where the ground rose in au abrupt swell; and now pressing over steep bsnks and ledges of bare rock, they stopped at length before the entrance to the cave of which Gasparde had spoken. It was the haunt of the robbers. Lights were brought. The broad and gloomy cave Into which they descended was illumined on every side. Striking across it, the party entered a long, nar row passage cut In the solid rock, and which was also lighted. By this time Rosa waa fully aroused. Memory and consciousness were invested with their full power. She recognised, with a cry of terror, the ruffian who bora her. A cold dew, like that of death, gath ered npon her brow as she beheld the rocky walls of that dreadful passage. "Gasparde demon release me!" ahe uttered, with mad fear. "Hold your tongue, my beauty I I mean to keep you safe. Go in there and keep yourself quiet!" he cried. And unlocking as ha snolst a heavy, spike-studded Irop door In the, rocky wall, he threw It open and attempted to thrust her Into the cell It revealed. But aha resisted. "Yon shall not put ma In there I will not enter!' she cried. - Spite of her struggles, be forced her In, while the men bore Jacques farther along the passage to another cell. "You won't? But I aay you shall!" "Now, Mademoiselle Rose, you will stay here," aald Gasparde, "uatill I choose to release you, and that time will be fixed according to your own conduct.. If you are savage, perhaps I may keep yon here three months or a year or two years, It doesn't matter much which. But if you make up your mind to treat me a little more favorably, why, a priest ahall be ready at the earliest hour you name. You see the terms are fair. I will give you till to-morrow to make np your mind about It." And he released her arm. "I will never marry you! and you shall not keep me here! What place Is this?" were her Indignant words. "You are under ground, aa perhaps you know already. And as for talking ao bravely about having your own way, why, I think I shall be likely to have a few words to say on that acore. You see there are thick walla here, while there are perhaps from twenty to thirty men just at the mouth of the cave ready at my bidding to bring you back, even If you should escape." "Twenty or thirty men ready at your bidding I" cried Rose, trembling with an ger and fear. "Wretch! who what are you?" He laughed lightly. "Easier asked than answered, my pret ty maid," he said. "The question Is, will you marry me or not?" "No never!" waa her answer) "and leas now than before; for now I begin to recognise you fully. Now I recognize yonr terrible trade. Robber murderer brigand! No! I will either go forth from this dungeon free, or die by my own hand In my captivity!" (To be continued.) ST RETCH I NQ IT TOO FAR. Privilege Does Not Permit a Lawyer ta Aid Hla Cllent'a Kacape. Judge Thomas of the United State Court has a correct Idea of legal ethics, and be enforces bis views with refresh ing directness and decision In bis dec laration that the relation of attorney and client does not excuse an attorney from withholding evidence bearing upon an Intention or arrangement on the part of the client to perform some Illegal act in the future or the actual doing of such an act A man under Indictment had been admitted to ball and then fled. The Grand Jury desired to learn who helped him In his flight The lawyer who represented him said he was employed to do so by a third person, and the Grand Jury desired to reach this third person and find out where the accused man was and who was privy to bis escape. The lawyer declined to give this information on the ground that his relation with a cli ent was privileged. Judge Thomas re fused to recognize this as within the proper limits of professional confidence and ordered blm to answer the ques tions. If this view were more generally en forced by all courts the legal profes sion would be less often reproached a the patron of law-breaking. Honorable lawyers would not for an instant ad mit that their business was to make crime safe. No lawyer except the "shyster," whose type, of course, In vades every profession, would deliber ately set out to assist a criminal to forge or steal. But so intense Is pro fessional feeling and the desire to do full duty to a client that lawyers often fall to draw the line between guarding the rights of a client and helping blm to do wrong. Lawyers have advised snd helped men who have committed crime to escape on the eve of discovery. Others, as counsel for corporations, have advised how law could be vio lated without Incurring Immediate pen alties and made themselves generally participants In Illegal conspiracies un der the protection of professional priv ilege. We sometimes bear sucb prac tices defended, or at least excused, on the ground that a lawyer cannot make himself the Judge of what act or plan of hi client coming to bis knowledge Is criminal, and that the only safe rule Is absolute faithfulness to him In all his doings. Judge Thomas doe not take that view of the lawyer" duty and refuse to stretch the veil of professional confi dence to cover flight from Justice. It Is perhaps not often that a case comes up offering the chance for Judicial Inter ference between lawyer and client but It la not to be denied that some lawyers do bsve relations with client which call for It whenever possible, and that all Judges should be as ready as Judge Thomas to Interfere.

DEDICATION OF A MONUMENT ON FIELD OF ANTIETAM. haft Recalls the Story of That Des perate Engagement Between Gener als McClellaat and Lao-President Roosevelt la Attendance. Forty-one years ago the bloody bat tle of Antietam, between the Confeder ate forces under Geo. Robert B. Lee and the Union troops under Geo, George B. McClellan, was fought on the soil of Maryland. In commemora tion of the part taken In the engage ment by the troops of New Jersey a monument was recently erected by that commonwealth, and dedicated In the presence of President Roosevelt, who delivered an address. The battle was one of the bloodiest conflicts of the war. After the defeat of the army of the Potomac in the seven days' fighting along the Chlcka honiisy the Confederate resolved upon ' an Invasion of Maryland. The seven ! days' fighting bad been highly en couraging to the Confederates, and I correspondingly depressing to the 'Union side. The Federals bad mat ' in battles a total of 80,000 ktfUedJ wounded and prisoners, 62 pleeer of . artillery, 85,000 stand of arm and !m ' roena-quantities of military ttftves. . What waa still more discouraging, the 'magnificent army of McClellan had been pushed back to the James river. I This situation thoroughly aroused the 'government at Washington. Two orders were Issued In quick succes sion, each calling for 800.000 fresh troops, and within the brief period of three month 600,000 men were raised, armed and placed In the field. Washington being tbeatened by the Invasion of Maryland, measures for - ($JL&JsH?- Mfilt -?eifc 4 UNDER A HAIL OF CONFEDERATE LEAD AT ANTIETAM. He further protection were adopted. The commands of Gens. Banks, Fre mont and McDowell were combined and placed under Maj. Gen. John Pope. McClellan's army at Harrison's Land ing aad Burnside's corps, which was awaiting order In Hampton Roads, were ordered to re-enforce Pop. The latter bad then under blm a splendid ly equipped army of 100,000 men, and proudly made the boast that ha would soon capture Richmond. In quick succession the Confederates met and defeated him at Cedar Mountain, Bull Run and Chantllly, crossed the Poto mac, near Leesburg, and concentrated their forces at Frederick. During bis brief campaign Pope had lost 80,000 men, 8 generals killed, 80 pieces of artillery and 20,000 stand of arms. The Confederate loss was 9,000 men and 5 generals. Pope was promptly relieved of his command and McClellan was again made commander of the army of the Potomac. McClellan, after reorganiz ing the broken forces, turned over to him by Pope, moved out to give bat tle to Gen. Lee. The right wing was commanded by Burnslde, the center by Sumner, and the left by Franklin. Lee retired from Frederick and took up a strong position in front of Sharpsburg, with his front protected by Antietam creek. Battle of Antietam. On the afternoon of September 15 the Union forces took up their position In front of the Confederates, the Antie tam creek separating the two armies. A heavy cannonading by the Federals opened the proceedings the following day, and hi the afternoon Uen. tloolc er's corps was sent by McClellan to force a passage across the Antietam, at the extreme right of one of the four stone bridges spanning the stream. Hooker crossed by the upper bridge, beyond the range of Confederate fire, and was soon engaged with the Con federate left under Hood. He forced the latter back and, being re-enforced during the night by Mansfield's corps, was thus In good position to resume operations the next day. The struggle opened early In the morning of the 17th with the Con federates, some 05,000 strong, occupy ing their old position. The aggregate strength of the Union forces was 85, 000 men. Hooker's and Mansfield's corps, 18.000 strong, were on the Con federate side of the stream, with Sum ner's corps ready to follow. The rest of the Union forces had not crossed the Antietam. Hooker opened the battle and suc ceeded In forcing the Confederates' left wing, commanded by Jackson, back a half a mile. Re-enforcements were hurried to Jackson's aid, and the Union troops were burled back to their position of the morning. Sum ner's corps now engaged the enemy a little to the left of Hooker, and grad ually pressed back the Confederates. The latter, receiving re-enforcements, made a desperate counter attack, and Sumner met the same fate as Hooker, being hurled back to the Antietam. Tha scene now changed to the ex treme Union left where the corps of Burnaida and Porter were stationed Burnslde had orders to cross the Antie tam by a stone bridge, all the ap proaches to which were commanded by the Confederate Are. He suffered heavily In attempting to reach the bridge, and seeing the futility of fur ther sacrifice sent a force further down the creek to try and find a ford. This force succeeded In gaining the Con federate aide of the stream, thus creat ine a diversion which enabled him to send tha main body of bis force across i the river by the bridge. After reform ing bis lines Burnslde charged the Con federates and forced back the Confed erate right for several hundred yards. He was in turn defeated and driven back, like the other corps, to the banks of the Antietam. Night ended the struggle, leaving both armies confront ing eacb other on the west bank of the creek. On the 16th McClellan remain ed on the defensive, arranging his forces, which bad been re-enforced by two strong divisions. Ha was to have attacked on the 10th, but meantime Gen. Lee retired, recrossed the Poto mac river and took up a strong posi tion In Virginia. McClellan's loss was 2,010 men killed and 9,416 wounded and 1,043 missing a total of 12,4419. The Confederate loss is estimated at 0,000 In killed, wounded and missing. NEGATIVE DIETING Threateaa te Kllnalaate All Natural Feed froaa Oar Bill of Vara. Death by ellmlna'tlon seems to be the fate that confronts us all; that Is, If we conform to all the discoveries and forblddances which hygienic sci entists present us. Such is to be the exterminating effect of food experi ments that nothing will be left for us to live en and no mealtime lft for u to eat K tn. The relief afor&ed the race by the mlcrobatic conqiests will be offset by the knowledge that there la nothing good nor safe nor nourish ing under the sun; that man la born to dyspepsia and disease and death, and that tlie only amount of happi ness be can expect Is for a forty-day period by the Tanner route. In our childhood days we believe there are no longer such things for any member of the race we "pieced" between meals. A big slice of bread and butter, well jammed heaven was the vision of fulfilled desire, and we bad it But the doctors told our mothers that "piecing" was bad for the stomach and that was eliminated. This was really the signal for the onslaught, back and forward. Babies bad to have prepared foods, and the child who was not brought up on one of these could not hope to attain the price, neither from the food company nor from life. But the adults are suf fering far more. At the beginning of the day they have been denied their breakfast; to go without breakfasting has been advertised as the vade me cum of health. If you were thin you became fat; If you had embonpoint you grew gracile; if you had any ill it fled. Then came the tabloid lunch; two or three little pellets sufficed for the middle of the day. Dinner we have yet with us, but bow long we know not. Meat bus been slandered because it la bad for the temperature and for the temperament; vegetables have been ordered discarded because they made too much work for the stomach; breadstuffs are tabooed because they make too much work for the alimen tary canal; fresh fruits bave too much acids and cooked fruits too little nour ishment Pie, on which New England produced a race of Intellectual giants, Is anathematized, and ice water, the chosen stimulant of that commercial giant, the American business man. Is relegated to the lower regions where, may It do good. And now comes Dr. Wiley to Insinuate that soda water and Iced tea are of the devil.

He bad hardly got settled at the seaside when be went out on the Necanlcum river to have a fish all by himself. He made his way through the brush until he came to a log, one end of which pro jected out Into the creek. "That's the very place," thought the conductor, nd, adjusting bis line and pole, he crept out on the log, where be found himself perched above the cool water of Necanlcum creek. Houston lighted his tried and trusty pipe and then cast his line. He fished and smoked per haps an hour without getting a bite. Suddenly there was a movement in the bushes back of him, and then be felt the log ha was sitting on tremble. Instinctively the conductor turned around, when to his amazement ha gazed Into the face of a big Hack bear. The Utter seemed to be sizing him up and estimating how much of a meal the conductor would make, and whether be would "acrap" when It came to the point For the conductor there seemed no escape. The bear sat complacently on the share end of the log. and It waa not possible for Con ductor Houston to get past the mon ster.

"The Forest Hearth" is a story of Indiana life during the thirties: Indiana was set tled by a curious mixture of races, Including men from the South, East and North; Englishmen, Irishmen and Frenchmen.

THE WEATHER OF OREGON. Wonders Produced from tha Boll of tha Far Northwest. There Is probably no country in the world so rich In natural resources that Is at the same time so sparsely set tled. The diversity of agricultural possibilities Is continually being shown by successful experiments and the richness of the river valley beg gars description. The Northwest Is pre-eminently the wonderland of production on the con tinent. William Macleod Baine In Pearson's tells how a farmer In the Hood River country raised on four acres 800 bushels of potatoes that nearly all ran from three to eight pounds apiece. There was not In the lot one that weighed less than a pound. Squashes weighing as much as a large man, pumpkins tipping the scales at the hundredweight, water melons larger than the Southern pick aninnies, whose eyes would bulge at seeing them; turnips larger than one's head, pears and apples with a circum ference of a half-yard are to be seen at the annual fairs of Salem and The Dalles. The biggest apples, the biggest pears and biggest cherries at the Chicago ex position were from Oregon and the charge cannot be made against them that what they gain In size they lose in flavor. The Pomologlcal Society, which Is the highest authority on fruits In the country, awarded to the State of Oregon the Wilder medal for the horticulture exhibit at the Tan American. The "Webfoot State" stands first In the production of hops, raising about one-third of the coun try's total production. So far as Is known there is no spot on earth, with the exception of Eastern Oregon and Washington and the adjoining valleys of Idaho, where three or four crops of wheat may be harvested from one Bowing. Tet since the first settlement of the country these "volunteer" crops have been reaped. A second crop from a single seeding Is officially re ported to bave yielded thirty bushels to the acre. White Black berries. By means of cross-breeding Luther Burbank, of Santa Rosa, California, has developed a variety of blackberries, which are perfectly white, as bright ai snow In the sunshine, and so trans parent that the seeds can be seen In side the ripe fruit. The seeds are said to be unusually small, aud the berries are as sweet and meltlngly tender as the finest of the black varieties. Tbt familiar Law ton berry Is described as the great-grandpamit of the new whlt variety, to whlrb has been given tin name "Iceberg." The white berries are as large as the Lawtons.
