you over the knock lea with my whip if
jmu try to atop my horse.”
On we went in a mad race. I could no
longer hear the sound of the hunt; we
had gone too far to the left. At laat I
seized the bridle of her hunter shout
ing. "Stop. Kdmee, you shall go no far
ther.” Her hors** reared and, to prevent
falling, she .sprang lightly to the ground.
Her horse stopped and began to graze;
mine ran away ami disappeared. I caught
Kdmee in my arrnß.
"You are very brutal.” «he said. ~I de
test your manners. Whom do you take
after?"
"Let me put you on your horae again,"
1 said, and taking her up placed her in
the saddle.
"Leave me alone!" she cried—but I
could no longer obey her. I lost my
senses and pressed a burning kiss upon
her neck. She grew pale with anger. She
repulsed me with ncorn and threatened to
strike me with her whip if I dared even
to touch her stirrup. I fell upon my
kneea and implored her forgiveness.
"Look where we are," she cried pointing.
Nothing was wanting but to see again
this detested place." I looked and there
we were, only a few steps from G&zeau
Tower* A shiver came over me as I
looked. Only twice before had I seen this
place, and both times terrible and heart
rending wvnes had occurred there.
Kdmee was preparing to leave me, and
I felt that It wax for the hurtt Ime—that
after the innult I had given her she would
never again risk being alone with me.
Seized with a fright at the ferocious In
stincts which I felt springing up in me.
I turned and. wringing my hands as I
went, plunged Into the wood. I had
scarcely gone thirty step* when T heard
the sound of a gun from the plac** where
1 had left Kdmee Aa I ran back I sud
denly encountered the ahbe. who had been
sent by her fathe.r—alarmed at her non
appearance with the hunt—to search for
her. "Kdmee, Kdmee'" he cried. “'Where
is she?” Together we reached the tower
and there before It lay Kdmee. senseless
and bathed In blood. Patience whs stand
ing over her
1 threw myself on the ground beside
her and gazed at her in a state absolute
ly dnx< d and stupid. Her breast had
been struck by two halls. "Remove that
wretch!" cried Patience. "His preverse
heart has remained unchanged. Dead!
I».ad' But Patience will avenge her."
The nunters now appeared. What hap
pened *o me I do not know When I
came to my senses 1 was in another part
of th* forest and Marcasse was by my
site Hi succeeded tn getting me to
Roche Mauprat. where 1 relapsed into a
state of delieriurn.
CHAPTER XTI. m
Trial.
When I regained my reason Marcasse
told me that Edmw was not dead and
that they did not despair of savin* her
life. M> uncle had taken to his bed from
which there was little prospect of his
ever rising again. All these later ter
rible adventure came back to me *’You
did not do It purposely, I know.” said
Marcasse “Your gun went off accident
ally ” Kor an Instant I was uncertain.
Had my gun really gone off by accident?
1 remembered having fired it an hour be
fore at a lapwing and had not reloaded It.
Resides I had not had a hall about me
the whole day The gun had fallen from
my sling-strap at the moment when I
heard the shots and I had not stopped to
picJc it up Who, then could have fired
those shots? 1 learned from Marcasse
that I was under accusation
In spite of the efforts of Marcasse to
prevent me I got out of bed and made
my way to Saint Severe 1 forced my
way Into Fdmee’s room, knelt by her bed
side and bathed her band with team. She
looked at me with as little emotion as If
she had been gaxing upon a picture, and
then turned her face to the wall with a
aad smile. The ahbe entered and signed
to me that he wished to speak with ms
1 followed him from the room Roth he
and Patience seemed to believe me guilty
and urged me to fly or conceal myself,
that 1 might not bring further disgrace
on the family by penthing on the scaf
fold. Knun what they said 1 gathered
that Kdtnee herself believed that 1 had
fired the abets which had pierced her
breast
I went and shut myself up In my room
Toward evening 1 was Informed that
some one was asking for me, 1 went to
the window and saw in the curtyard some
homemen of the marochaussee. ”It is
well.*' l staid, “my destiny must be ac
complished.” and gave myself up At my
first examination I learned that I had
been denounced by Mademoiselle Leblanc

I had i*e rerouted Kdtnee before 1 went to

evidence against me
Mademoiselle l«eblanc swore, also, that
Kdmee had told her that ahe had seen
me point my rifle at her savins as 1 did

and the ahbe declared that his mind was
so undecided concerning the event that
he would suffer the penalties of a con

of a blood-stained letter which had been
found on Kdmee aftpr she had been shot.
It. was the last letter I had written her.
The lines which had remained intact con
tained such sentences <i* "Sometimes I
long to rise in the middle of the night and
kill you.” Without the context, which
explained my frenzy, such passages were
convincing. My lawyer was dishearten
ed; but he demanded that physicians
should be summoned to testify as to the
possibility of examining Ekfmee. They
were called and testified that her mind
was wandering and it would be impossible
to get lucid answers from her. In short,
after consulting for half an hour, the
court adjudged me guilty and condemned
me to capital punishment.
It was 2 o’clock in the morning when
the verdict was rendered, and the court
was about to adjourn, when Patience ap

great vigor. He said that he should

said that he had many important things

after some delay and many legal formali

At this trial Kdmee was able to be pres

of health. The sensation of the trial
was the testimony of Patience
He said that when he came upon Ed

Where Union Labor Stands
On Bolshevism
For the first time in many years the extreme radical groups which have always
contributed the most tioise and a great deal of mischief, pitch their songs in a subdued
key, according to a New York World correspondent at the American Federation of
Labor Convention at Atlantic City.
While a Buffalo editor believes that every day some new strike, or bomb explo
sion, or red-flag waving in this country or Canada confirms his belief that "Union labor
is in the hands of unscrupulous men whose political, social, and economic principles
stand on all fours with those of Lenine and Trotzky, ’’ the evidences of conservatism at
the Convention are many. For instance, the President of the Boilermakers and Iron Ship
builders Union has sent out an order to local unions which, he says, "serves notice
on all that Bolsheviki, I. W. W.s, or kindred gentry will not be tolerated."
For an enlightening account of the latest phases of the struggle in the labor world
between radicalism and conservatism you should read the leading article in The Literary
Digest for June —lst. It presents the subject from all angles.

wouM not have believed it of you! You
have killed my father." He had, at first,
believed me guilty; but, on reflection, had
changed his belief. He had carefully
kept a sec?tt watch upon Jean de Mau
prat and learned that he was in the habit
of meeting mysterious stranger at a
little inn near Crevat, a neighboring vil
lage. He had hidden htmself in a cellar
opening into a little garden where the
two were accustomed to take breakfast
and overheard and seen them. The com
panion of Jean was none other than An
toine de Mauprat. Antoine demanded that
his "brother provide for him or he would
make a row.
‘?fou have acted like a flbol" said
”1 told you that there was a chance
to strike a good blow and you went off,
without waiting for a favorable moment,
and did a thing which should have been
well weighed and talked over." "A fa
vorable moment! you white-livered scoun
drel," replied Antoine.
"Surprised by the hunt I went into that
accursed tower and saw the two turtle
doves arrive. I heard a conversation
which x\*mld make one die with laughing
—Bernard weeping and the girl playing
the proud. Bernard went off like a fool.
1 had about me a pistol all loaded. Pas!
"Silence," cried Jean; "is this a thing
to talk about in tavern?" After heartily
abusing each other they parted, Jeane
urging Antoine to fly the country- as
Bernard was to have a new trial and one
never knew what might be discovered.

Edmee testified that the words at
tributed to her had been spoken in de
lirium and that she did not for a moment
think that I had fired the shots which
had reached her. The trial was halted
and the arrest of Jean and Antoine de
Mauprat ordered. Jean was easily found
and placed under arrest. When he found
himself in prison he broke down and
confessed that Antoine was hiding at
Roche Mauprat. The arrest of Antoine
was a matter of some difficulty, so clev
erly had he concealed himself in the ruins
of the chateau. But he was finally taken
and lodged in prison. When the two
brothers were arraigned before the court
they began to accuse each other in an in
famous manner. Jea.ne denied that he
was in any way responsible for the shoot
itiff of Edmee—that Antoine had done it
on his own responsibility. Antoine ac
knowledged his crime and in turn ac
cused Jean of having poisoned my mother
and Kdmee’s, who had both died sudden
ly of an inflamation of the stomach.
He said that Jean was skillful in pre
paring poisons and had introduced him
self into the houses of his victims under
different disguises so as to mix poison
with their food. When Edmee had b*en
bdought to Roche Mauprat he had called
a council of the brothers and it had been
decided to poison both her and myself in
order thaJ the inheritance of the cheva
lier’s wealth by the bandits might be as
sured. All this was strenuously denied
