roads In their search. Edwin la trapped
In a tower where he le made prisoner. In
•ndeavorlng to escape he opens a trap
Boor where he finds Emory, the detec-
tive. who had been Imprisoned there pre-
viously.
CHAPTER XVI.—Continued.
"Oh, hang It, what have they done
Bo you. smarty?” growls the detective
angrily. Then he cries: ‘ Glory halle-
lujah! Bully tor you!" for Edwin has
run down the ladder and is busy try-
ing to unloosen the irons from the
American's legs.
“They've got keys somewhere,”
snarls Emory. “Hang it, think of their
Sheek, manacling a detective.'
Edwin is up the ladder again. He
strikes another match and on the
ground story finds, after some little de-
lay, a bunch of keys hanging on the
wall.
After some trouble with the locks,
which are rusty, Elijah's legs are re-
leased and he ascends with Edwin, his
Jaws almost snapping with rage as he
tells his wrongs.
“I was playing the fisherman at St.
Tropes,” he says. "I had got onto
them, sill right. I knew the head devil,
the elder man, Clpriano. when, like a
fool, I went on board of that big,
cursed fishing felucca to them, pre-
tending to want to get a Job, thinking
1 .x>uld find out what the devil they
wert driving at That was the end of
me. 1 hadn’t more than got in the
forecastle than I was covered with two
long knives, and that scar-faced fel-
low said to me: 'The first time, you
were warned to keep out of this affair.
This Is the second time—’ They were
savage enough to kill me, but they
simply corded me up and threw me In
the hold, and oh, what a time I had as
their Infernal vessel dashed about the
Mediterranean after you. When they
gave up chasing you they stopped
here and put me away carefully In
that hole down there.”
Suddenly he cries: "What are you
doing?” for Edwin has his hands In an
Iron ring and la trying to pull up an
other trap door in the flooring.
"I want tools by which we can break
enough masonry from one of these
embrasures to get out!** says the
sailor.
But pulling up the trap door, both he
and the Amerloan gase astounded Into
the other vault
Two red flaming eyes encounter
theirs. “If you come to kill me, I’ll die
Uke a Corsican, my teeth In your
throat I" cries a low, hoarse voioe.
Then as Anstrumer lights another
match, a shriek rises to them: “The
husband of Marins, Madre dl Dio!”
“Tomasso!" exclaims Edwin, add-
ing: “in God’s name, where , is my
wifer
“Dlavolo, of course, you have come
here to find her. At the fork of the
Baatla road, I thought the 'Lucchese'
captured my mistress and myself and
forced us to drive toward the east.
Coming over the mountains, their lan-
guage told me they were not 'Luch-
chese,’ but Corsicans. I would have
told Marina, but when I got out to
water the horses at the little fountain
up near Pletra, two of them struck me
Insensible and I awoke and found my-
Belf here. But, Signore, 1 beg you to
note one thing. Youj true wife and
my honored mistress believes she was
rescued from the 'Lucchese' by Clpri-
ano Danella, and she is grateful to
him. Get me to the light that I may
aid you.” The old Corsican has faint-
ly staggered up; a moment later he is
pulled from the vault by the strong
hands of Anstruther and the detective.
“This is old Tomasso Monaldl,” says
Edwin shortly, “who was supposed to
be killed*
"Holy smoke, the fellow who was
believed dead and they vendettaed
Barnes about!”
"Yes."
But Tomasso’s words make them
feel they have little time to lose. Be-
sides, Emory Is always whispering
with white Ups: “This tower is
mined!” Together they go up the
stairs, carefully examining every ori-
fice In the building, but find them all
loopholes too small to permit the exit
of a man," and the mnsonry too solid
to be broken through in any ordinary
time, as the building is bare of tools
and weapons.
“There is nothing but to get ont of
the upper chamber," says Edwin. "I’m
a sailor. With half a chance, a single
vine, with even the assistance of our
clothes torn into lengths, I can scram-
ble down. Some way I’ll do It.”
They have reached the upper room.
Anstruther has thrown off hts coat
and vest, kicked off his shoes and
taken off bis stockings. Toes will
cling to the rough stonework better
than boots. He picks up the letter
and the concluding sentences seem to
make him crazy. He springs to the
window and a muttered oath parts his
white lips, for he encounters a grillage
of heavy Iron so securely fastened on
the outside that it Is Impossible for
him to make exit.
But even as Edwin struggles with
the grating, he utters a low cry, half
of longing, half of despair.
Upon the portico of the modern por-
tion of the farmhouse, pleasant with
vines and flowers, almost reclining In
a hammock is Marina. Robed in
white, the young wife looks like a
dream of love to her despairing hus-
band. Her face Is flushed, if not hap-
pily, at least excitedly. To her, speak-
ing—the distance Is too great for Ed
win to understand the words, but ap-
parently from the gestures they are
those of amity—la Count Clpriano Da-
nella, hla eyes sparkling vivaciously,
his costume the romantic one of Cor-
sica.
This Glorious Orezza Water Will
Make You a New Man.
"By Jove,” he remarks, ”1 gave Ed-
win the right path. I .should have
turned back and followed him last
night, not to-day."
This makes him hurry all the more,
and his horse Is quite exhausted when
he descends the hill past the convent
and pauses at the little Inn near the
famous water of Orezza.
The American has heard of their
curious powers, and asks for some, as
he gazes languidly on the communal
of the little village, around which the
men are still clustering.
Tha heat has been tremendous; his
speed has been quite great; the hills
have been precipitous. Barnes' face la
again covered with lines of fatigue.
“Thla glorious Orezza water will
make you a new man,” chats the land-
lord pleasantly; and never had the
wondroua youth-giving chalybeate a
better patient to work upon, for aa the
efferveacent fluid, cold from the
springs of the mountain, files down

CHAPTER XVII,
Whiffs In the Air.
8ome time after midday, Mr. Barnes,
In pursuit of Anstruther, reaches
Ponte-alla-Lecchia, where the people
are now crowding about the polling
house. He doesn’t stop here and con-
tinues rapidly on. notwithstanding the
sun la very hot, the dust Is very heavy.
As he climbs the high hills toward Mo-
rosaglla, he commences to find cycla-
men flowers, quite faded now and hav-
ing but little perfume.
samp
new vigor teem to enter each nerve,
each limb.
It la now quite late In the afternoon.
Burton soon passes tha chestnut land*
of La Caatagnlccla, still finding a few
faded cyclamen blooms to guide him
on his way. But now a little shock
thrills him. He checks his horse ab-
ruptly, springs off and picks up a
bunch of the wild flowers. Aa he rides
along examining It he ejaculates:
“Thla Is very extraordinary. This
branch, which I supposed Marina drop-
ped out of the carriage yesterday, was
certainly cat this very morning.”
Suspicion flashes through him aa he
questions: “Can these flowers have
been atrewa in the road by Cipriano's
agents to lead someone on?” and what
had been no warning to the eaay-golng
sailor becomes a danger algnal to the
man of the world.
Yet, twist It how he will, Barnes can
see no reason why Danella should
want anyone near him aave Marina.
If the Corsican’s passion for that
young lady is what he thinks It Is, he
will prefer a free hand to deal with
her alone. “And yet It Is evident some-
body wanted aomebody to follow this
cyclamen trail, and whether somebody
wants It or not, I am here anyway,”
thinks the American 'grimly. “And
thanks to the divine Orezza water, I
am rather fit for fighting.” Then care-
fully examining his revolver, the pistol
shot remarks: “And that’s fit also,
thank God.’’
With this, resolutely but more cir-
cumspectly, Mr. Barnes continues his
way over the path marked by the cyc-
lamen branches.
By the time he has come out on the
Mils looking down toward the Tuscan
sea, it Is very dark. There is no moon
yet, but the light from the lone watch
tower attracts him. The cyclamen
flowers he occasionally picks up make
him know this Is the road Anstruther
must have traveled.
Suddenly, but quietly, he turns his
horse from the path, and In the seclu-
sion of a thicket of wild grapes, lis-
tens. Some dozen men are coming
from the east; he hears one of them
growl: "Why, there’s no ‘Lucchese’
nearer than Pletra to fight, though the
count ordered every man about the
farm to go out and protect the vines
from them.”
“Well, there’s some good reason for
Maestro Cipriano's orders. Perchance
the Italian laborers 1n the Green Ores-
za quarry bave risen up," adds an-
other.
“Perhaps with the lady he wishes
not to be disturbed,” giggles & third.
“The count lias musicians in a boat off
the shore."
The men have no sooner passed
than Barnes starts quickly down the
road. The “lady," he guesses, means
either Marina or his own bride, though
of the last he has slight hope. A sub-
dued light from the town guides him
In the darkness. ,
But when he is within less than a
hundred yards of the building, his
horse, with a sudden snort of terror,
draws up right in the path, crouching
on his haunches, and Barnes peering
Over his steed's head, gazes into the
deep chasm that descends sheer to the
very sea. Springing from his trem-
bling horse, the American finds that
the bridge, which Is a light, swinging
one not over 85 feet In length, has
been swung to the other side.
The scent of a fresh cyclamen bloom
enters his nostrils. He looks at the
removed bridge and remarks acutely:
"It’s evident Clpriano has got on the
other side the person he wished to fol
low these flowers.”
So Barnes gazes across the chasm
he cannot pass. The night being very
still, he hears over the soft murmur
of the waves beneath him the sweet
romantic music of Corsica rising from
a boat. ‘TIs the playing of stringed In-
struments accompanying a sweet na-
tive love song, each stanza ending In
that curious prolonged note peculiar
to thege Island ditties.
“What the deuce Is that bizarre,
crafty devil’s game?" wonders the
American. Then he hears voices from
the low Corsican house. Beyond the
crevices ho sees Marina In white robe
amid the ItghtB and flowers of the
veranda. Her sweet tones are scarce
audible. Then Danella's voice reaches
him faintly In the soft night air.
He begins to understand and mut-
ters; "Good Ood!”
After a little cry of love yet despair
rends the heavens from the tower. It
is An8trutber'a. 'Tis mingled with •
woman's shriek for mercy. “My hue-
band!” in Marina's voice.
Next Barnes hears Cipriano’s suave,
triumphant laugh, and he muttere:
“My God, for a pistol It’e a fearfully
long shot, but It’s the only way!”

lighted with it that he nor-'-
himself honorary canon of

successors forever.
A Le Mans artist, Mr.
designer of stained glass
was reminded of this fact one day l-y
reading an account of a stained glass
window In the Church of St. John at
Lunebourg in which the kaiser
plcted. He decided that the
president should no longer lack an
honor that had been paid to the Ger-
man emperor, and set to work on a
design showing M. Falllerea, the
president of the republic, and there-
fore, according to the artist’s belief,
successor to the kingo as honorary
canon, clothed In a canon’s cope and
kneeling on a devotional chair.
The modern and the archaic are
allied in the design. The cope le
thrown back sufficiently to show that
M. Fallieres Is wearing evening dress
und the grand cross of the Legion of
Honor. The arms of the cathedral
cha er, three flour-de-lts and three
keys, are balanced by an escutcheon
ornamented with the legion of
Honor and the Gallic cock.
Below is the inscription In Gothic
characters: “According to tradition,
Messire Armand Fallieres, eighth
president of the French republic, takes
President Fallieres of France in
Stained Glass.
In bis quality of chief of state tbe title
of canon of Salnt-Julien of Le Mans."
Lopg months of work went into
making the glass after the design and
now that it Is finished it has ro»C Wflh ...
only a cold welcome. The spectacle
of the president, during his term of
office church and state were definitely
separated, figuring as a canon seems
to give pleasure to no party or sec-
tion. A local art society even re-
fused to admit the window to its exhi-
bition, although the skill of its exe-
cution is generally admitted.
