Con le no), the lilgliwayinnn, started uj In Ills bed when the Kraut bell of Notre Duine Htruck twelve, Silently, niul with a wakhiK mini's curiosity, he counted tho strokes, nodding his head at each one, and thinking to himself tlint It would be live or six of the morning and time for him to be about. Hut when the clock went on to tell the hour of midnight, an exclnmatlun burst from his lips, "Kaprlntl," said ho to himself. "I have not slept an hour. I might know that by the music below, tfalnt I'aul! what throats they have!" No man cares to be deceived with the tricks of sleep; nor was Con le ltol, otherwise the Little IJed Man, other wise Jacques Cabot, the notorious scourge of the highways about Tails, and one of the most successful robbers that ever yet spurs to a horse, an ex ception to the rule. Ho concluded that lie had a personal grievance agalpst the night for thus cheating him. He began to tell himself that he was thirs ty, and would do well to draw on his boots and venture out to a cabaret for n cup of wine. Then he remembered that he was not In tho habit of losing bis Bleep because a few cutthroats bawled beneath Jio windows of his garret. Some strange sound, some un usual omen of the night, must have troubled his ears while lie slept, he said. And, for the llrst time for many a day, lie began to remember that the guards of the new lieutenant of police were then hunting for him out In the woods beyond Fontenay. "Sang-bleu," he cried, springing sud denly from his bed, and going to the window of his garret, that he might look down thence to tho narrow street below, "am I a woman that I should start at shadows on the wall? What a thing to tell at the house of the lied Cock, too!" He put his head out of the window, and the moving panorama of the slum below reassured him. There, in tho heart of the thieves' quarter of the Paris of ITS!), ho might well think him self, safe even from the early energies of II. do .Sartlnes who had just come to be lieutenant of police. Though tho day had begun with driving sleet and bitter wind, few of the beggars In that Hue St. Sauveur thought of sleep, or Indeed of anything but thcf- pleasures. Hegularly, when night fell, these rogues, whom Coq le ltol now looked down upon with satisfaction, hastened to quit tho church doors and tho gates of the hotels and hurried to the laby rinth of the lllthy lanes and tottering houses, which had marked their king dom behind the Hue Mauconsell, almost since Paris had risen about the islands of the marshes. A motley group they were; blind men counting their sous; lepers washing off their sham sores; lame men carrying their crutches; ven dors of oranges with their cry; "Portu gal, Portugal;" rogues whom the gib bet long had claimed in vain. Weary with the labors of the unbefriendlng day, eager for the shelter of the caba ret, ripe for quarrel or drink or play, they now rioted In the security of, the alleys behind the markets, and so hid from the night of the greater Paris the cankering sore which was her re proach by day. Coq Le Pol permitted the bitter wind to blow upon his face for some min utes; then he drew back his head, for lie remembered his intention to drink a cup of wine at tho nearest cabaret, and he found the idea a very good one. "Bah," said he to himself, as he tugged at his long boots and looked at his pistols, which lay ready for prim ing, upon the table by his ragged bed, "what have I to do with woman's tat tle lure? Guards In the Hue St. Sau veur! Norn du dlable, what a day that would be. I would like to see It." The notion amused him, and ho chucl'led to himself pleasantly; but, of a sudden, the laugh died down upon his lips, and he sat upon the bed like one petrified. He had become aware In that Instant of the piesence of another In the room a gaunt llgure dressed from head to foot in black, and masked so closely that even the eyes were not visible. Noiselessly, with no drawing of bolt or creak of foot, the appartltlon had come to his bedside. The robber G "IMBECILE," SAID HE, "WOULD COMES TO SAVE feared nothing human but now he trembled so that tho whole bed shook, and the sweat fell In Icy cold drops from his brow down upon his nuked chest. "God have pity, who are you?" ho asked, not Uarlnir so much as to raise his hand to tho pistol beside him, Tho stranger laughed merrily, and crossing before tho robber, he sat him self upon a rough oak bench, which was tho only seat, other than the bed, In the jnlsejablo attic. Coq lo Pol could seo by the little light which fell through tho lattice that his visitor wore good clothes, nnd that the hilt of his sword was n-gllttor with diamonds. "lion solr, M. Jacques Cabot," said the man, leaning back against tho wall, nnd crossing his legs for comfort, "bon solr, or, perhaps, I should say 1 ' I ' i i&a -id --- JjUte oAil Max Potuborton. rightly, bon Jour. The clock has Just gone twelve, 1 think." Coq laughed nervously. Ho waa ashamed now that he should have so carried himself. "Sang-bleu," said he, "I thought you were the devil." The man neglected to see that he was unanswered. "You ure an early riser, M. Cabot," he continued, playfully, "to bo out of your bed at midnight. Cell, what a monk you would make." Tho lubber shrugged his shoulders, and since he feared his visitor no long er, he stretched out a hand and took up one of his pistols. In the same mo ment, the man In the mask gave a sharp lunge with his foot, and so cleverly was It done that the pistol went Hy ing up to the roof, and theru exploded Willi a crash like that of a caimoirr "Imbecile," said he, "would you lire upon one who comes to save your neck?" Coq le Pol sank bac"k upon the bed with a sigh. After all, he said to him self, there was something uncanny about the coming of this mask. "Well," he usked, doggedly, "and what next?" The man rose and opened the win dow. "This Is no time for words," said he, "let your ears tell you the tale." He held up his hand wnrnlngly, bid ding the other to listen; and while tho two stood there at tho little case ment a stranee sound arose above the hum of the city life. It was a sound neither of beggars growling nor of rogues at their play. AVhen It had con tinued a little while, there was added to It the loud rattle of musketry, the clash of swords, and tho tiamp of many feet; while, clear above all, and resounding like the note of a trumpet, v, as the cry: "The guards, the guards." "You hear," exclaimed tho unknown, drawing back from the window, "our friends, the cut-throats, are welcom ing the guards of the new lieutenant of police. Shall I tell you, M. Cabot, "IF YOU CAME HEME TO AID ME, THIS IS, THE TIME FOU YOUP WORK." how many years it Is since a dragoon dared to pass the Virgin's statue? You have no love for histoiy, you say. Saint Denis, I do not wonder at It, since It Is for you that M. do Sartlnes has hi ought about this pretty play, and come into this den of beasts." Coq le Hoi, quickened by tho danger, took ui) his second pistol. His natural courage had returned to him now. Little man that he was, little, and with a face like a young girl's, he had made danger so good a bedfellow that sur prise was rather pleasant, than alarm ing, to him. "Bah," cried he, "that Sartlnes should be such a fool as to look for me at the house of the Ped Cock. Oh', we shall have a merry night, comrade yet who you are, and why you are here the devil take me if 1 can say." He buttoned his cloak around his shoulders with Itching fingers,, con vinced, though he did not say so, that this man ho had come to him so mys teriously, had come as a friend. Mean while, the whole quarter without was thundering with the clamor of the mob hell Itself seemed to have been loosed In that labyrinth of crime and squalor. Coq le Pol was sure that hla liberty was a matter of moments. " , YOU PIPE YOUP NECK?" UPON ONE WHO "Look you, my friend," lie continued to tho unknown, who had watched him with some amusement and perhaps u little malice, "I am now going upstairs to get some fresh air upon the roof. But 1 shall not forget that you, who ever you may be, warned me of to night's affair. I wish you good night, monsieur. When we moot again, it may be your turn to thank mo, and to tell me how you got Into this house. I hope It will be ho." The stranger laughed aloud, Insolent ly Indifferent to tliedinsto of the other. "You are going on the roof, M. Ca bot?" he exclaimed, mockingly; "sure ly that Is very thoughtless of you." "And why, monsieur?" "You shall be tho judge of that.when I tell you that live of Sartlne's men ure there before you,1' fm '; ' itj m TJX?' ,sO Coq le Hoi thought for a moment that this man had Vi'ijaJ'ed him, but he was too wise to act upon his sus picious. "I shall see for myself," said ho; nnd with that he quitted the room, only to return a moment later with a face white with fear. ".Monsieur," said, ho, trying to force a Jest; "you have reckoned well. There arc exactly live of Sartlno's men nbove us. How many there may bo In tho street belowj I will not venture to hazard. Nor will I dispute with you any longer. If you came tiere to aid me, this Is tho tlnio to do your work; but If you are upon any other errand then Clod help you, for I will certainly blow out your brains." The stranger laughed again. "I do not keep my brains in tho cell ing of your garret," said he. "Upon my word, you are a very impertinent fellow, It.' Cabot. I am half of the mind to leave you to Sartlnes, who lias sworn to dig up the atones of Paris, rather than lose tho pleasure of your company." "lie has'swom that," muttered Coq le Pol, beginning to tremble again. "As 1 say. Did you not stop the coach of Mine. Goeftrln but a week ago, and wound two of her lacqueys? Very well, Mine. Goeffrlu complained, to the king, and the king to M. de Sar tlnes. And now, you see, the dragoons are coming to beat In the door of your house. Oh, the lieutenant knows well that he could only take you with dragoons. What a man ho Is to trap you here like a bear In a cage. For you are trapped, M. Cabot. Yon street Is as full of police as an orange of pips. And hark, there are the troopers them selves." PAPT II. The clamor without, a clamor In which were commingled tho hoarse cries of men, the shrieks of women, the ringing of hoofs upon the Hags, the clash of steel, the loud note of com mnnd, now rose up from the very street below them. Coq le Pol listened to the hubbub, and his knees quaked under him; but the unknown, who had timed his play to the ultimate moment, seemed at last to turn from his humor and to take pity upon the trembling robber. "Come," said lie, "follow mo and ask nothing. You have a lanter there light It!" The hunted man was now as clay In the hands of this maker of mysteries. He lighted his lantern mechanically; mechanically he followed tho stranger down the dark nnd narrow stairs of the house of the Ped Cock. Ho could hear those without beating already upon his door; but he trembled no long er. The man who went before him seemed to fill him with a new courage, as a measure Is filled with wine. He did not ask, whence does he come, whither does he go? He said only, he will save me. And when at length he found himself out In the narrow, hlgn walled courtyard,' which was called by courtesy his garden, he was like a child obeying a father, and trusting him un questlonlngly. "Monsler," he exclaimed, with hum ble clvilty, "there Is no door to the street here." "You He," said the stranger, curtly; "give me your lantern." Coq le Pol watched him with amaze ment now. For when the masked man had taken tho lantern in his hand, he walked straight to tho mouth of the old well which was the one conspicu ous thing in that filthy and deserted court. Then he unwound a long roll of thin rope, and attaching the lantern to this, he lowered It into the orifice. Coy le Pol, looking over his shoulder timidly, watched him as one watches a conjuror at his tricks. "del, monsler," cried he, "you can not hide me in the well." The unknown laughed scornfully. "St. Denis," exclaimed he, "that a man should live live years In a house and vet know nothing of Its resources. Do you follow the path of that light, my filond. Well, tell mo what you see?" "The walls shows me walls green with slime and fungus," said tho robber. "I see groat gaps where bricks have been; there are lizards of strange shapes, and rats feeding and now I see the water. Holy AMrgln you would not send me down there, monsieur?" "Look again," cried tho other, un moved at the plea; "upon the right hand side of the well at a little distance above the water's edge, what see you now?" Coq le Pol stretched out his neck and searched the foetid depths with eager eyes. The twinkle of the light below was like a star seen through a black tube. The rats lie 1 at its light; stones fell with resounding splashes while they ran; cold air oozed up and seemed to freeze the lobber's face. 'Mun Dleu," said he, "you have dis covered something, monsieur; there Is a little tunnel running Into the well, and the wuter does not cover Its mouth." "You have said well," answered the unknown; "thiough that tunnel we shall pass to our friends. After you, M. Cnbot. This rope which holds the bucket will bear the weight of three men. Trust your life to It rather than to your friends without. I wait for you." Coq le Pol shuddered. "Clel," said he, "1 dare not go down theie." "You dare not sang-bleu, do you hear those blows? They are from the sabers of tho guards who beat In your door. Shall 1 leave you to receive your guests? I give you one intitule." He folded his arms and waited. Coq le Pol, now wringing his hands, or run ning to and fro In his distress, or peer ing with a horrid fear Into the well be low, was like a woman distracted. "God have pity," he cried, "1 cannot I cannot." "The half of a minute Is gone," an swered the unknown, In a voice hard as Iron. "Do you wish to kill me, monsieur?" moaned the robber. "You have ten seconds yet," cried the unknown. "You torture me," walled the rob ber. "The guards are Just beating In your door," replied the unknown. It was as he said. Tho great Iron bound gate was giving way to the crashing blows which fell upon It. Coq lo Pol listened for one long Instant und then, reeling, staggering toward the well, he clutched the rope and be gan to descend. "When you come to the tunnel, kick against tho wall and that will swing you In," cried the masked man, bend ing over to watch him; "leave the lan tern until I tollow," "You will find my body," howled the robber from the darkness. Lowering himself hand under hand Coq le Pol went down Into the well, The unknown waited until ho had reached tho light and had entered the dark hole ubove the water. Then he, too, clutched the rope, but he could not keep back the laugh from his ltps. "Sang-bleu, Sartlnes," fld he to him self, "a merry night to you and a mer rier day tomorrow. To be fooled by a woman at your time of life! Oh, you amuse us finely." "Are you coming monsieur?" roared Coy le ltol from below; "oh, for pity's sake be quick." The unknown hesitated no longer, but swung himself cleverly upon tho rope nnd so disappeared Into tho dark ness of the well. Five' minutes later a terrible cry, like, a cry of victory, arose suddenly from the ranks of the sweltering mob gath ered In tho narrow nlloy before the house of tho Hed Cock. From lane to lone, .and street to street, It spread, until "it was echoed In long drawn hoot ing, even across tho fretting waters of the Seine. "Coq le Pol has escaped! Ilola Iloln! llolal Coq le Pol Is free. Long life to tho Little Pod Man. Viva! Down with the guard. A bas Sartlnes. llolal Hola!" Loud, terrible, long sustained was the cry. H'jxhllaratod by the unexpected tidings, spurred to now courage by tho joyous news, the mob fell upon tho sulking troopers with unv weapon that enmo to his hand: and In the stilling courts and alloys there were soon to be heard the sluleks of dying men, tho booming of muskets, the shriller wall- mm" I T.-V " ; '&g HE FOLLOWED THE STPANGEIl DOWN THE DAPIC AND NARROW STAIPS. ing of the women. It was not until dawn broke that tho beggars began to number their dead and to forget that Coq le Pol was free. M. de Sartlnes had supped well, as he always did, at the Hotel lieautie lllls. Though he declared that the gloomy old house in the Puo St. I'aul was more forbidding than the Bastlle, where Its exterior was concerned, there was no one readier to admit that Mile. Corlnne de Montesson, Its mistress, was the cleverest woman In Paris, and tho most fascinating. Besides, was she not the particular patron of all tho rogues and vagabonds In the thieves' quarter, and could she not, If she would, be of more service to tho court In gen eral, and to himself, M. de Sartlnes In particular, than a squadron of drag oons? It was a big "If," since made moiselle's charity and large-hearted-ness were traditions In tho city; but the lieutenant still hoped and supped. On this particular evening the ex cellent man rail much need of conso lation, and of the rich red wine which added the luster of the ruby to the sparkling Venetian glass In which madamo's guests were always served. For It was the evening of the day when Coq le Pol had slipped through his fingers In so miraculous a manner, and, In escaping, had set the whole city laughing at her lieutenant of police. Nor had the good Sartlnes secured at that time tho reputation which, In after years, brought him fame beyond the fame of any one who had occupied the office which he glorified. Ho had yet to in-ove himself; and In proving him self, he had begun with this disastrous and long-remembered fiasco. Depressed by tho icllectlon, gloomy, and not a little Irritable, he had gone lo Mile, do Montesson's house, scarce daring to hope that she would aid him; convinced, none the less, that she would amuse him. Ho had found her, to his satisfaction, alone, yave for the pres ence of her wonder-loving physician, Antonio, and of her young kinsman, Benolt, who was said to be the finest swordsman In Paris, as It was always at tho Hotel Beautrelllls; and when it was done mademoiselle carried her guest to the great music room, and there caused her servant to bring the delicious coffee of the east. And this being served, llatlm, her harpist, began to touch the strings of his Instrument carresslngly,' while mademoiselle her self, sharing a rest-giving lounge with the gloomy lieutenant, endeavored to play wittily upon hla melancholy. To be Continued. A pickpocket is despised, dreaded ! and avoided. He 'Jas a sueaknik, despicable foe who robs a man unawares. Men hate him v.'orsa than the more bold highwayman whose attack is made in the open. There are some dis eases that ure like pickpockets. Thcv are sneaks. If men only knew it, these sneaking diseases are more to be dreaded than small -pox or yellow fever. The sneakinjj disease begins with some slight disorder of the digestion and sluggish ac tion of the bowels. The blood becomes disordered and the body receives insuffi cient or improper nutriment. Emacia tion follows and the sufferer is troubled with nervous prostration, brain fair. Mid debility, and very likely falls a victim to that dread destroyer, consumption. All this happens before the sufferer fairly tealues that he is in danger. These sneaking diseases that undermine a man's constitution, and rob him of his health are conquered by Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical" Discovery. It puts strength into every fiber of the body and replaces the lethargy of sickness with the buoyancy of health. It is the best blood maker and flesh-builder known to science. Mr. A. V. Cayues, of UtWhart, lilkhart Co., Iudiana, writes; " I send you n testimonial in regard to Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery und what it did for me in acute inflammation of the liver, about six years ago, when I had nil at tack in I,o Angeles, Cal., and also one since I came litre, I consider Dr. Pierce's tloldeu Med ical Discovery one or the best medicines ollerea to a buffering people to-day. It has only to be given a fair trial to prove itself such." Dr. Pierce's Common Sense Medical Ad, viser has had a larger sale than any other book of this class ever offered the public. This book of i,oo3 pages with 300 illustra tions is full, from cover to cover, of practi cal advice on health matters. This great book, in heavy mauilla covers, is now of fered j'Ri'.B to whoever will send aijme-cent stamps to pay for mailing only, IT an ele gant Kronen cloth binding is desired, send 10 cents extra; 31 cents in all.

The damage Indicted upon tho ene my Is not known, but ns ho wan tho as saulting party as often us tho Union nriny, thero Is reason to believe that tho losses on tho two sides were about equal, Taking twenty-four hours us tho t.mo actually occupied In lighting, and count ing tho casualties In both urtiilcs, It will be found Hint on tlint bloody Held every inlntlto recorded the loss of twenty-live men. As tho staff ollleors threw themselves upon tho ground that night, sleep camo to tlujm without coaxing. They hud been on tho move since dawn, galloping over bad roads, struggling iibnut thiough for est openings, jumping livulets, wading swnmps, helping lo rally troops, dodging bullets, and searching for commanding officers In nil sorts of unknown plafia, Their horses hud been crippled, and thoy themselves were well-nlgli exhausted. For tho small part I hnd been nble to per form In the engagement, the general v" omtnanded mo lor tho brevet rank of nn jor In the regular army "for gallant nnd meritorious services." Ills reeoimncti U tlon was afterward npproved by the president. This piomotloii was especially gratifying for tho reason that It vns con ferred for conduct In the llrst battle In which I had served under the command of the gencrnl. In-chief. There were features of the battle which have never been matched in :ia- annul of warfare. For two days nearly '.MO.OOO veteran troops hnd strangled In n Joath grnpple, confronted at each step with almost every obstacle by which nm tiro could bar their path, and groping their way through a tangled forest the Impene trable tjloom of which could be likened only to the shadow of death. The under growth stayed theli progress, the uppar giowth shut out the light of heaven, of ficers could uirely see their troops for any conslcleiable distance, for smoke cloud M the vision, and a heuvy sky obscured the sun. Directions weie ascertained and lines established by means of m pock'it coinpass, and a change of position often presented an operation more like a prob lem of ocean l.avlgation than a question of military manoeuvres. It was Hie sense of sound and of touch rather tha.i tho sense of sight which guided tho move ments. It was n battlo fought wb'i the ear, and not with the eye. All circumstances seemed to combine to make the scene one of unutterable hor ror. At times the wind hovled through the tteetops, mingling Its moans with the groans of the dying, and heavy branches were cut off by the fire of tho artillery, and fell crashing upon :he heads of the men, adding a new terror to battle. Forest 11 res raged; ammunition trains ex ploded; the dead were roasted In the con flagration; the wounded, roused by its hot breath, dragged themselves along with their torn nnd mangled limbs, In the ma energy of despair, to escape the ravaqc? of the Humes; and every but-h seemed hung with shreds of blood-stained cloth ing. It was as though Christian men had turned to fiends, and hell Itself had usurped the pluce of earth.
