Puzzled, the Marquis straightened.
But her eyee were directed ahead
and she pointed with her whip to a
break in the woody barrier to the right
—a path that, springing from the
roadside, aeemed to plunge into the
very heart of the labyrinth.
"Look! the abort cut!—that would
bring ne half an hour before them to :
the rains! Let ns take It!"
A light seemed suddenly to break on
her companion, and be sprang airily to
hla saddle. "As my Lady wills!** gal-
lantly.
"Then call to the commandant, and
KB him we’ll meet them there!”
The Marquis obeyed, and, without
awaiting answer, or demur from the
officer in charge of the guard, the girl
flicked her horse •ffhd sent him over
a low bush Into the narrow way.
Fairly In the path, she rode fast,
and pressing hsrd behind, my lord
soon found reason for doubt as to
the sdvisabilltjr of that route, and a
suspicion of regret at his own nssent
to the departure from the math thor-
oughfare. As their surroundings grew
wilder and the slender green figure
flitted more and more recklessly be-
fore him, he evin ventured to voice
hie misgivings—advise greater care.
A ahake of the fair head was all he
received for answer and, regardless
of the Increasing roughness of the
way, she continued to sweep on, now
uphill, then down, avoiding by a quick
turn-one obstacle here, leaping anoth-
er there! From a black ambush, a
branch like the arm of a Titan reached
out to seize, but sdroltiy she swayed
from its grasp and only the twigs and
lesves touched lightly the bent figure.
My lord, however, they struck sharp-
ly, and at the sudden smart and a
quick realiahtion of falltag behind,
frowningly he drove hla home harder.
The tete-a-tete be had naturally ex-
pected from her request to-pursue the
lonelier way promised now not to mate-
rialise; the idea that she was fleeing,
he pursuing, possessed him. The for-

she, a sprite of the greenwood, danced

"Small wonder hi* Excellency should
have desired to add this fair principal-

looking around. "Of the seven forests
of Brittany, none will compare with

She looked st him with a start;
since leaving the sands she had not
spoken, and now. tugging at the reins,
only said abruptly: "My saddle! I
believe it is loose."
"Loose!” repeated the nobleman.
“Careielb lackeys! Let us see!” And
grasping ths bridle of her no>«e, pulled
in his own, snd drew both animals to
a standstill at the side of the road.
As he dismounted to examine at rape
and fastenings, the others dashed up;
my lady lightly motioned them on.
"We’ll soon overtake you! Don’t
wait!" Unquestioning, they obeyed;

rose with an odd, unusual thrill. "Au
rsvoir!” she repeated, when a misti-
ness in her eyes suddenly blurred
sight of him, and she tightened the
reins. Yet hestitatiug to go, her gaze
cleared, and swerving, was abruptly
arrested by another and more inter-
ested spectator, who, partly concealed
by flowers and plants, peered with
anxious expec tancy from her own bal-
cony. As Nanette’s eyes met those of
the Governor’s daughter, they wavered
half guiltily; suddenly became steady,
held by something—a flash of Impel-
ling Intelligence in the other's gaze. A
moment or two, my lady continued to
regard the girl; then touching her
borae, wheeled sharply, and set a pace
downward not easy to follow.
At the base of the Mount they were
met by a numerous guard bright in
holiday trappings, and, under the care
of the commandant, with flourish of
horse, the party swept gaily from
sands to shore.
"A gallant company. Monsieur le
Commandant!*’ observed the Marquis
to the officer in charge, as they
reached the green line at the yellow
basin's edge. “Now if we were

“He would find us prepared.
Lord!” the officer declared.
"True!” And the nobleman com-
placently touched the jeweled hilt of
his own blade, accompanying the ac-
tion with a tender glance at the Lady
Elise.
She, however, a little ahead, ap-
peared not to bear; spoke suddenly to
her horse, and, as they swung from
the sward, started at a brisk gallop
down the road. Laughing, the others
came after, lords and ladies first; be-
hind, with tumult and clatter, the com-
mandant and his men. As they ad-
vanced, on either side the way thick
,trunks of moss-grown monarchs up-
lifted their gnarled and hoary branch-
es, to meet overhead; through leafy
interstices bright flashes of sunlight
shot downward, danced on fine gar-
tnente and accoutrements, and then

Of course it was only an acc dent
that caused Col. J. Shelby to put
Colquitt’s name above Ramsey s and
Wolters’ above Sheppards in the

committees. In Denton county the

The prop os t<on from For Wprth
business men presented by A. D.
Roger* is, the Recorr and Chronicle
believes, by far (he most • tangible
proposition that has as yet been sub.
mi ted to the ;>eople of Denton for
an interurban connection. Nothing is
meant, thereby in derogation of the
other gentlemen who have made of-
fers, but the fact remains that Mr.
Kogers' presentation conies in a
‘lean PHI,' straightforward manner,
backed by men who are known aud
who are of undisputed means and
abirty to make good. The fact of

that matter, absolutely assure? that
it is no fly-by night, hot air project
of promoters hoping to make good
and dispose of their franchise to oth-
ers able to build the line, but that
it is bona fide and with the inten-
tion of actual construction. We
take it, of course, that -if the promo-
ters Were offered a satisfactory profit
with the assurance tha? the work
to which they’ are pledged would be
carried out, they "ouM sell to a cyn
dieate like Stone & Webster. But
they would not sell even then, we
are sure, unless they were satisfied
that the r own pledges .would be
fulfilled to the letter Denton needs
an interurban connection wi h the
outside world. Some ot us perhaps
would have preferred Dallas to Fort
Worth for business reasons. But since
Dalias Seems perfectly content to let
matters rock along, then the Fort
Worth proposition s of practically
equal advantage to Denton, and that
la what we are looking for. Bad
crops, factionalism and other draw-
backs have hindered Denton's growth
in the past, even if it was the only
one of the smaller cities lii this sec-
tion to show a fair growth in
the past decade. But with the
present sp rit of pul) together, good
Crops, interurban line an 1 other
good things in prospect, the next ten
years should see the old town at
least double its population. It will
do it if we ll ail d0 our tn tc toward
that end. Pushing the interurban
project ia one of the first and most
essential things the town and county
needs right now.
