Cait It be possible for them to hear our voices when abov us!" "I think not, or Uuille would have warned us." "Ob, Invaluable, allwlse Kmllel vroat detains html" groaned Jules, ax he clambered up tho stairway. bm No sign came of any human prvvence H throughout tbo day, and much em- H boldened by the circumstance, Jules H took a pitcher and email pall and H atarted forth as soon as evening came. Lady Fellcle followed silently be- H bind him, notwithstanding his entreaty H to the contrary, H i They passed along softly, with the HI lutmost caution, pausing every few H steps to listen for any sound of alarm. HI All was profound stillness, save that HI now and then a dry leaf dropped from H .a bough, or a bird wllh heavy wing Hi 'thurred through the branches. HI I The spring vim Just a little way B 'from the trodden, pathway. It lay In H Its mosey bed like an Inky mirror, with HI 'Just one ripple of silver wbers a star Hi beam from above slid through the can- H opy ot leaves and gave It a tender kiss. H I Tbe trembling pair gave a itgb of re- HI lltef. Jules hastily knelt aown and HI dipped the pitcher Into It. He turn- HI ed and held It up to Chlotllde'a lips. IV Draught of nectar from the very cup ol Tltanla waa outrivaled by the refresh- ID Ing coolness of the water, IB j Neither ventured to speak, but tbelr Nj 'hearts beat with Joyful relief. Jules U (filled tbe pall to tho brim and Cblotllde Hj took tho pitcher. She tripped lightly In 'before blm to open the door. Mj He spoke suddenly and sharply. 8 "Hurry, Chlotlldol go at once" 3 Bhe obeyed with a quick rush of ter- H Tor, for she also caught the sound ot HJ hurrying steps, and gaining tbe tree, Hi stood waiting his approach. H There cams Id her from the gloom ot J tbe shadowed pathway a fierce oath, a scuffle, and shout for help. Betting down the pitcher hastily, the clrl bent out of the tree with white lips ffl and horror-stricken eyes. I A quick rush ot frantlo atepe but f rrrhose? the companion of her bidden boine of refuge, or the cruel spy? Shi could not stir, but stood paralyzed. It waa Jules. He dashed up to her, ithrust her Into the little room with Impetuoua haste, and closed the door. The movement upset tbe pitcher, tae precious water was lost, not a drop remained; tor In hla struggle with the rnan who had pounced upon blm, Jules tad dropped tbo bucket. Then shivering and repressing the very sound of breathing, the pair lis tened to tbe eager talk going on out side, as a group ot tho sentinels gath ered to! ether In bewildered astonish j rnent. "Tbta ts certainly wltchr jc- i ulated ono, C "lis wnj hre a mom' . , a B now be ha gone. Psrt win, E like U 1 r U ' ! It S Is a n.rt -...t tljat the V villain il.iappears.

"Ileal u, .. , , UH.H-'' cried out anotlnr. lets drag hlin out to-night, and earn the reward " They went tramping all about the epot. and one struck hla heavy pike against the tree trunk, making tbe Ctrl spring back wildly Jules took her band In both hla, and held It firmly! the darkness concealed his quivering Up and flashing eye. Hut presently the men were tired hunting over the vacant ground, and tbey dispersed to their separate sta tions Jules led hla silent companion dowh to the lower room. She turned and threw herself Into bis arms with a sob of angutah "Jules, Jules, we shall perish togeth er! there Is a little comfort In that UiouxhL" His hrat waa hearing. Too well he knew how little hope there waa, even of such a melancholy end He had, learned enough from nmlle, to feel convinced thaj she would be torn away from him at one "Yes, they will certainly mark the spot well They will dh for tyncea of a rvcret passage; you heard them sounding the tree. Ob, that we had remained quiet. We hrve not even a glass of water to atoni for tbe- mis hap." They said nothing more concerning tbelr apprehensions, but made no at tempt at cheerfulness, and sat band clasped In band In Utter al(eoce. Slowly and sadly wore "away the nlibL and the next day. Neither tould touch food, but tbelr ferrlh ihlrsl seemed to Increase, aa the precious water disappeared. Dy. another night fall there remained but a single wine glSM full. "Drink It, Chlolllder exclaimed Jules, bitterly, as he saw her eyes dwell upon It wistfully; "by another day It will be of no conssquoncs. That l'lerre has been examining the plac himself; ha has ordered them to com mence felling the treea by the morning light." Lady Fellcle clasped her hands, and ber white lips moted prayerfully then he said tremulously: "M. rierrcl ob, Jules! shoot me with your pistol before yuu allow me to fall Into hla bands." "Chlotllde, let us try to escape from the forest to-night, rather than be dragged forth by their triumphant hands." "Hut whither ball wo got" asked ahe, aorrov. fully ' lie groaned In anguish. "Whither, Indeed! ob, nmlle. Mon aleur Ktnllo, what bis becose ot you!" The words had hardly passed his lips ero a step was heard on tbe rude talra leading to tho seeret door above. They sprang up with cheeks grow Jog still moro aahy white, and turned wild glances to the aperture. Had their persevering enemy it last discovered Ibe secret passage to them? Hastily came the Intruder downward the lofty head stooped to clear the beam and then oh, Joyl oh, transport! they beheld the pale, excited, but tri umphant face of Kmllet With a glad cry, Fellcle fell down at bis feet. Ills tcsrs mingled with Vera, ss he raised ber In his arms. "My child, my beloved onel you are safe; I feared to find you completely proatraled. It yet alive." Jules selted bis band In a transport of dellehL Ho gave them a few momenta to re lieve their excitement, then produced from the bundle he bad brought, two disguises, both for pcaaanta ot the humblest class. "Do not delay a second bsyond what Is absolutely necessary, but put Uioai on at once, and tako every valuable that you can conceal, Tbe diamonds I I will secrete on my own person." Neither asked blm a single question; but trusting him Implicitly, gavo thought only to thorough obedience. In a few momenta they were ready. Umlle qcietly took a powder from his pocket and rubbed It over the pals facea and hands; he gava to Jules a different shade of hair by a powerful liquid, and concealed the silky tresses of Fellcle by a most unbecoming man tle twisted in turban fashion. "Come now," said ho, taking thorn each by the band. Still tbough their bearta beat anx iously, neither asked a single question. This Implicit trust moved nmlle, deeply; but be closed the door of the faithful tree which had protected thorn so long, and led tbem on In silence. Jules lookod around him with a wistful glance. Where were the send nelaT At least no sign ot them was visible. Unmolested tbey gained the out skirts. Kmlle pausing a moment, gazed all around blm, "It la woll," murmured he; "Jean has not tailed me. Now let us move swiftly, nor lose tho propitious mo ment." "The sentinels are removed!" ex claimed Jules, In utter astonishment. "They are lying senseless pn the ground," replied Umlle, '"a faithful fel low baa carried ' "n wine well drug ged, anil m I n It himself, to r f ,lrlin ft, irilnunentallty r M Vleri la weiLoms to lif w itot we, 1 truti ehall be o- o'ir jy to l'arta, I have the apera - lbs paitsage ot the dray Fa' m.J. bis cousins Jules and ilotliJe, I bupe - will racsl with no Detestation.

I had my eye on a grand old pine standing a little way from any of his fellows, a monarch In the forest. It must have ben n hundred and forty feet, perhaps moro, from tho topmost point In Its glossy green coronal down to the dead goldenrod In tho snow at Its base. It was about three feet In diameter at the ground, so tall, bo strong, so straight, n noble tree In deed, In very truth a king of the fort ret. It waa the result ot the llts which dwelt In the tiny black, winged seed which waa lost to view moro than n certtury and a half, before. Whlls I waa admiring tho splendid propor tions of tbo tree throo pien came to ward me. One' was a bright-eyed fel low, short of stature and swarthy of kin, looking like ont of the Chippewa Indiana whose homo this forest had been nobody knows how many wntit rlos. Ha looked tho treo over uuarply, stepping to thla aide and to thai, eyed It critically from various points ot view, and then with a small, sharp ax cut a keen gash In the trunk about a foot above the top ot the dead gold enrod In tho snow. Ha was an trade r cutter, a man whoso business It la to cut Into the tree on the side on which It should fall, so tbat It mar not bs broken In tbo fall, or lodge In the crotch of another trc. Tho cut on tho Bids of the treo Is the guide for the sawyers. Tho other men, bearing a big saw, began cutting down the pine, sawing Btcadlly and powerfully through tho fragrant ycllowlsh-wblte trunk. Now and then the undercutter would etep up to hum to ace bow they were progressing. When tbelr saw had passed the heart of the pine ho placed a small bright steel wedge In Urn path of the saw and drove It In. "Iok out there, now I" camo the c l c-C Uie uudercuttcr aa ho looked In n., ttrectton. I made a quick acr-n-bio through tbo deep snow, nearly tumbling ocr a hidden log, and grab bing my camera as I went. I had no Intention of staying In tbe Immedlata vicinity, for I had soon troei like this fall before, and I knew It was a risky thing to stand bard by. Tho best di rected treo will sometimes veer a lit tle In Its fall, and woo to tbo one who stands below It. Many an experienced woodman has been killed In Just such a place; ninny a ono has boon caught and pinioned, perhaps to cscapo with only broken legs or ribs. In a second moro tbe noblo plno ramo crushing down through the branches of the other trees, falling upon the troion earth with a nolso which drowned all tho ol!r uoI.m ot Hie fore.t a roar which echoed and ro-cchoed through lbs long, dim aisles of tho forest llki tbo booming ot soma mighty cannon ado.

Is This SoT Women are often accused of becom ing careless about their dress and stylo of, halr-drenalns uftor marriage and the reason for tbls speculated upon. Hero Is the other sldo of 'tho question. "I found out the other day why married men, or almost all mar ried men, are so slovenly regarding thejr dress." said a married man re cently, "No mailer howTnnth -of a dandy the man may have been before marrlago, aa a rule he beglna tn ahow unmistakable algns, shortly afterward, that he cares nothing about his rr onnl appearanco It lias been popu larly supposed that the reason for thla la because a man, once he la married, thlnkt that his mission In life as a good dresser la ended, and that ho can wear rolled linen and old clothes to his heart's content, or because tho wife doea not think to hnto clean collars and cuffa laid on hand for him. This Idea Is all wrong, for all women llko to havo their husbands look well, and nt least clean, for they well know It Is a reflection upon themselves If tho husband looks otherwise, and they iro loo selfish to want any sucfi notion to gain credence.

Women In Ilia Orient. Mrs, Slaphain I'rnnngton, an Amer ican, who has traveled extcnBlvely In Turkey, Kgypt and tha east and ho,sj had unusual advhntagcs for observing' tho women of the harems there, has brought out a little book which she calla "A Key to tlo Orient," wherein a very different -aspect from that gen erally received la taken uf the rela tions of tbe Boxes there. The western, world generally holds that it omen In all Mohammedan countries are the mere slaves of tho men, creatures of Pleasure, and aro flnallr denied n snul. Far from this being tbo case, Mrs. I'cnnlngtuu urges, they are held In tho hlghest'honor, and oven the work of household drudgery, which makes Ufa Ibo hardly to be borne elsewhere, la there In tho hands ot men, Another of tho notions ahe over throws has to do wllh the prevalence ot polygamy. It la excedlngly rare, ahe observes, to And a man of more than one wife, except In the cases ot ofllclnls, whoso rank compel! tbem, as a social duty, to maintain a largo household. Kven thin It Is rathet more than likely that the pasha or bey will wed succeaslvo wives, divorcing each In turn, with a sufficient settle ment to keep her from want, as bo marries a successor a practice which, at Mrs. Pennington points out, does not differ by much from tho usage grow ing In Kngland and America. It Is true that tbero aro no love matches, In the American sense of tho word, but every girl la given plenty of oppor tunity to seo tbo candidate for her band at a distance, as from a lattice Window, and If aho expreaa tho alight est rcpugnanco tbo matter la not pressed further. All tho matrimonial arrangements devolve op the mothers of tho young couple, who may safely bo presumed to have their Interests at heart, and thcro Is very little un happiness sflsr marriage as a result. When wedded It la considered unsuit able for young wives to intra m,nn themselves tho caro of housekeeping, so they go to lire with their husband's family As soon as motherhood blesses the young matron aho Is believed even by tbo most fanatical moslems lo Lo endowed with a soul and ho 'i thence forth held In tbo highest respect. "Her days run calmly on," says the writer, "only broken by tho rejolclnga over tho successive babes, and by tho excitement of other weddings In her family, and at, last she Is called to tako the place of honor vacated by her mother or molher-ln-law and to rule tbe harem," ' '.''
