A man, bearing in his arms the mo-

that night In the shadow of a low
stono. hovel, near the lower gate of
the Mount. As he crouched beneath
the thatch projecting like the rim of
an old hat above him his eyes, eager,
fierce, studied the distance he had yet
to traverse from the end of the nar-
row alley, where he had stopped, to
the open entrance at the base of the
rock to the sands. The goal was not
far; but a few moments would hare
sufficed to reach it; only between him
and the point he had so long been
striving to attain, an obstacle, or group

"I alone am to blame. No one knew;
except, perhaps, the poet, who may
have surmised! It was treachery for

“You could not have done it. nor your
father, nor any -of the seigneurs be-

scarcely to hear; his glance had again
sought my lady. "But 1 am only a

used its own tricks? Did you think I
had forgotten those stripes? Or the

fumbled at his coat; drew out a bag

point of the apontoon was as steel
crusted o'er; the ax of tbe halberd
might have come from a boucherle;
the blade o? tbe “Partisan” resembled
a great leaf at autumn time. Thia last

den desperately aside, when, from
above, came tbe sound of hoarae
laughter and singing, snd simultane-
ously a number of peasants, Bretons
by their dress, burst into view.
“Eh, cockatoo, what now!”
Many of these new.-comer* were
hurt; few free from cuts; ^>ut none
thought of stanching their wounds.
Their principal concern seemed for
articles they carried—heavy, light;
valuable, paltry—spoils from the high!
Two staggered beneath a great chest
stamped with the arms of the Mount
and its motto, and appeared anxious to
hurry—perchance toward the forest
on the shore where they might bury
their treasure. Others had in tbeir
arms imposing pieces of silver; vases
end a massive surtout de table that
had once belonged to tbe Cardinal Du-
bois. A woman, gaunt, toothless, wore
a voluminous bonnet a J’Argus, left at
the Mount by one of the ladles of the j
court; and waved before her a fan,
set with jewels. She it was who called
out:
“Eh, cockatoo!” shrilly. “Who would
you be killing?"
"A selfish fellow that refuses to
share!" answered be of the halberd,
as if little pleased at the interruption.
"Refuse* to share, does be?” she
repeated, and, swaggering down,
peered forward; only to start back.

Those who accompanied her—**
rough rabble from field and forest—

admiration, at one whose name and
fame were well known on that north-

rough approval were not shared by the
alien rogues. On my lady's finger the
gem sparkled; held their eye* like a 1
lure. Black Seigneur, or not, they
muttered sullenly, what knew they of
her he had with him; whose hand wad j chosen it

She might be a great lady—she might
be the Governor's daughter herself!
"The Governor's daughter!” All,
alike, caught at tbe word.
"And if she were!” fiercely tbe
Black Seigneur confronted them.
While, hesitating, they sought for a
reply, quickly he went on. Who had
a better right to her? The Black
Seigneur! The Lady Elise! Harshly
he laughed. Was it not fair spoil? His
Excellency's enemy; his Excellency's
daughter. Did they think treasure
sweeter than revenge? Let them try
to rob him of it! Aa for the ring?
