"But shall I let you return home through the streets alone so late? IM "No, no fly. Each moment is like a precious jewel. Sometime," said the lady, with eyes long and cozening, like a gypsy's, "I will try to thank you for your goodness." The poet thrust the letter into his breast and bounded down the stairway. The lady, when he was gone, returned to the room below. The eloquent eyebrows of the marquis interrogated her. "He is gone," she said, "as fleet and stupid as one of his own sheep, to deliver it." The table shook again from the batter of Captain Desrolles' fist. "Sacred name!" he cried: I have left my pistols behind! I can trust no others." "Take this," said the marquis, drawing from beneath his cloak a shining, great weapon, ornament ed with cavern silver. There are none truer. But guard it closely, for it bears my arms and crest, and already I am suspected. Me, I must put many leagues be tween myself and Paris this night. Tomorrow must find me in my chateau. After you, der countess." David sped. At the south gate of the king's residence a halberd laid to his breast, but he turned its point with the words: "The falcon has left his nest." "Pass, brother said the guard, and go quickly." On the south steps of the palace they move to seize him, but again the mot de passe charmed the watchers. One among them step ped forward and began: "Let him strike " but a flurry among the guards told of a surprise. A man of keen look and soldierly stride suddenly pressed through them and seize the letter which David held in his hand. "Come with me," he said, and led him inside the great hall. Then he tore open the letter and read it. He beckoned to a man uniformed as an omcer ot musKeteers, who was passing. 'Captain Tetreau, you will have the guards at the south entrance and the south gate arrested and confined. Place men known to be loyal in their places." To David he said: "Come with me." He conducted him through a corridor and an anteroom into a spacious chamber, where a mel ancholy man, somberly dressed, sat brooding in a great leather covered chair. To that man he said: "Sire. I have told you that the palace is as full of traitors and spies as a sewer is of rats. You have thought, sire, that it was my fancy. This man penetrated to your very door b y their coni- vance. ne uore a leuer wmcii i have intercepted. I have brought him here that your majesty may no longer think my zeal exces sive." "I will Question him," said the king, stirring in his chair. Hej looked at David with heavy eyes dulled by an opaque firm. The poet bent his knee. From where do you come?" ask ed the king. "From the villiage of Vernoy, in the piovince of Eure-et-Loir, sire. "What do you follow in Paris?" "I I would be a poet, sire." "What did you in Vernoy?" "I minded my father's flocks of sheep." The king stirred again, and the film lifted from his eyes. "Ah! in the fields!" "Yes, sire." "You lived in the fields; youj went out in the cool of the morn-1 ing and lay among the hedges in j the grass. The flocks distributed themselves upon the hillside; you j drank of the living stream; youj ate your sweet, brown bread in the j shade, and you listened, doubtless, H oieoroof Hose to the blackbirds piping in the grove. Is not that so, shepherd?" "It is, sire," answered David, with a sigh; "and to the bees at the flowers, and maybe, to the grape gatherers singing on the hill." "Yes, yes," said the king, impatiently; maybe to them; but surely to the blackbirds. They whistled often, in the grove, did they not?" "Nowhere, sire, so sweetly as in Eure-et-Loir. I have endeavor ed to express their song in some verses that I have written." "If it please your majesty," in terrupted a harsh voice, "I will ask a question or t w o of this rhymster. "The royalty," said the king, of the Duke D'Aumale is too well proven to give offense." He sank lino his cnair, anu the mm came again over his eyes. First , said the duke, I will read you the letter he brouuht Tonight is the anniversary of dauphin's death. If he goes as is his custom, to midnight mass to pray for the soul of his son, the falcon will strike, at the corner of the Rue Esplanade. If this be his intention, set a red light in the upper room at the southwest corner of the palace, that the falcon may take heed. "Peasant," said the duke, stern ly, you have heard these words. Who gave you this message to bring?" My lord duke," said David, sincerely, I will tell you. A! lady gave it to me. She said heri mother was ill, and that this writ-1 ing would tetcli her uncle to her bedside. I do not know the mean ing of the letter, but I will swear that she is beautiful and good." 'Describe the woman," com manded the duke, And how came you to come to be her dupe?" "Describe her?" said David with a tender smile. You would com mand words to perform miracles. Well, she is made of sunshine and deep shade. She is slender, like the alders, and moves with their grace. Her eyes change while you gaze into them; now round, and then half shut as the sun peeps between two clouds. When she comes, heaven is all about her; when she leaves, there is chaos and a scent of hawthorne blossoms. She came to me in the Rue Conti, No. 29." It is the house," said the duke, turning to the king, "that we have been watching. Thank to the poet's tongue, we have i picture of the infamous Countess Quebedaux." Sire and my lord duke," said David, earnestly, "I hope my poor words have done no injustice. I have looked into that lady's eyes I will stake my life that she is an angel, letter or no letter." (( The duke looked at him steadily.

"I have looked into her eyes," he said. "I had my proof there. Take yours how you will." Half an hour before 12 the Duke D'Aumale, with his own hands, set a red lamp in the southwest window of the palace. At ten minutes to the hour, David, lean ing on his arm, dressed as the king, from top to toe, with his head bowed in his cloak, walked slowly from the royal apartments to the waitingcarriage. The duke assisted him inside, and closed the door. The carriage whirled away along its route to the cathedral. On the qui vive in a house at the corner of the Rue Esplanade was Capain Tetreau with 20 men, ready to pounce upon the conspi rators when they should appear. But it seemed that, for some reason, tlie plotters had slightly altered their plans. When the royal carriage hud reached the Rue Christopher, one square near er than the Rue Esplanade, forth from it burst Captain Desrolles, with his band of would-be regi cides, and assailed the equipage. The guards upon the carriage, SOOTH POLE FOUND Continued from page 5. in dispatches sent by h ira to Christiauia. One of these dis patches was addressed t o King Frederick. Its contents were not made known, but another said: "Pole reached, 14-17 December." The two dates were taken t o mean that Amundsen had reached the point he sought December 14 and remained there four days and those who know the explorer well, especially Professor Mohn, the famous Norwegian meteorologist, expressed the belief that Amundsen during this period had made such observations and calculations a s would render impossible a contro versy similar to that which rose from the north pole discovery. On learning of the success of his subject King Haakon sent a tele g r a in to congratulate Captain Amundsen on behalf o f himself and the queen, and consented to use of his name and that of his wife on the maps of the new ter ritory of Norway in the Antartic.
