days for the transmission of the mon

that makes tan' day*. Npw, allowing
for contrary winds, sccidents and a
woman's weakness, we cannot make It
altogether less than twelve daya."
"Well, M. le Due," said the king,
"have you made your calculations?"
"Tee, aire, today la the 20th of Sep
tember: the aldermen of the city give
a fete on the 8d of October. That will
fall In wonderfully wall Ton Will not
appear to have gone oat of your way
to please the queen."
Then the cardinal added:
"Apropos, strs, do not forgat to ten
her majesty the evening before the
fete that yon should Jike to aae bow
her diamond atuda become tar."
CHAPTER Xin,'
Bonacleux at Home.
r Was the second time the cardinal
had mentioned theae diamond
studs to the king. Louis XIIL
waa struck with theae vapetlttona
and began to fancy that thla recom
mendation concealed some mystery.
He hoped Id a conversation with Anne
of Austria to obtain some Information
from that conversation and afterward
to come upon h'ls eminence with aome
secret whlcb the cardinal either knew
or did not know, but which In either
case would raise him Infinitely to the
eyea of hla minister.
He went then, to the queen and, ac
cording to custom, accosted her with
fresh menaces against thoae who sur
rounded her.
"But" cried Anne of Anatria, tired
of these vague attacks, "but aire, yon
do not tell me all that yoq have in your
heart What have I done, then? Let
me know what crime I have commit
ted. la impoaalble that your majea
ty can make all thla to do about a let
ter written to my brother!"
. The king, attacked in a manner eo di
rect did not know what to anawer,
and be tbougbt that thla was tbe mo>
ment for expressing tbe dealre which
be waa not to have made until tbe
evening before the fete.
"Madame." aald h* with dignity,
"tbere will shortly be a ball at the Ho
tel de Ville. I wish that, to do honor
to onr worthy aldermen, yon ahould
appear dt It to cersnkonlal costume and
particularly ornamented with tbe dia
mond atnds wblch I gave yon on your
birthday. That la my anawer."
Tbe answer waa terrible Anne of
Anatria believed tbst Louto XIIL
knew all and that the cardinal bad per
auaded him to employ thla long dis
simulation of seven or eight days,
which, likewise, waa characterlatic.
She became exceaalvely pale and was
nnabfe to reply Vy a single syllable.
"You hear, madame," aald tbe king,
wbo enjoyed thla embarraasment to lta
toll extent bnt without gueealng tbe
cause, "you hear, madams. You will
appear at this ball and with thoae
atnds r
"Yes."
Tbe queen'* paleness, If possible. In
creased. The kins perceived it and ea-
Joyed It with bis com cruelty.
"Then that la agreed," eaid b«L
"But on what day will this ball take
placer asked Anne of Austria.
Louis XIII. felt InaOaeUraly that be
ooght not to reply to thla qtteetloo.
"Oh, very abort]/, madam*," a aid be,
"Bat I do not precisely recollect the
date of the day. I will ask the cardi
naL Than yon will appear!"
"lea, aire."
"Very well," said the king, retiring;
1 depend open yea."
Tbe queen made a courtesy, laaa tnta
etiquette than because bar knaaa war
einklng under bar.
"I am loat," mnrmored tbe queen;
"loat, to r tbe cardinal knows an, and
It la be who nrgea on tbe king, who a*

Weeping herself at the queen's sorrows.

Is It not so, madame? We most bsvs

"Tea, without doubt It moat be so!"
cried the queen. "Bnt bow am I to
act? How can It be effected 1"
"Some one moat be aant to the dake.
Place confidence tn me, madame, Do
me that honor, my quaeo, and t will
find a messenger."
"But I must write."
"Oh, yea; that is Indispensable! Two

and your own private seal."
"But tbeaa two worda would bring
about my condemnation, divorce, ax*

"Tea, if they fell Into lnfamoua bands,

will do anything I wish. Be will aet
out upon receiving an order from mo
without knowing what be carrlea, and
he will remit your majesty's letter
without even knowing It la from yonr
majesty."
The queen took tbe two bands of the
young woman with a burst of emotion,
gazed at her aa if to mad her very
heart and, seeing nothing but alncerlty
to her beautiful eyes, embraced her
tenderly. Then aha ran to a little table
upon which were pens, Ink and paper,
she wrote two lines, aealed the letter
with her private aeal and gave It to
Mme. Bonacleux.
"And now," said the queen, "we am
forgetting one vary necesaary thing
money."
Mme. Bonadeux blushed.
"Tea, that la true," aald she. "and I
will confess to yonr majeaty that my
husband"—
"Tour bnabaQd baa* none; la that
What yon would say 7"
"Oh, yea, be baa aome, but be Is very
avarictpoe—that IS hla fault Never
theless, let not yonr majesty be un
easy. We will find means."
"And I have none, either," said tbe
queen. "But wait a minute."
Anne of Austria ran to her Jewel
case.
"Here," said abe, "bare la a ring of
great value, as I have been aasured.
It came from my brother, tbe king of
Spain. It !a mine, and lam at liberty

On her side, M me. Bonadeaz's

who was so* brave and appeared to b«

ed Insensible to vulgar seductions, but
at tbla period the title of gentleman
had a particularly great Influence with
the bounreolae or cltlson class, and
D'Artagnan waa a gentleman.
Tbe married couple than, although
they bad not seen each other for eight
daya and that Goring that time eefto*
events had taken plaoa In whloh both
were concerned, accosted each Other
with a degree of preoccupation. Nev
ertheless M. Bonacleux manifested
real joy and sdvsncsd toward his wife
with open arma.
Mme. Bonacleux praeented her cheek
to him. *
"Let us talk a little," aald aba. "It is

"The complexion of our fortune has
changed very much since I saw you,
Mme. Bonacleux, and I ahould not be

months It were to exrito envy of many
folks."
"Particularly If yon obey the instruc

"To me?"
"Y'ee, to yon. There la a good and
holy action to be performed, monsieur,
and mncb money to be gained «t tbe

"Much money to be gained?" aald
Bonacleux.
"Yea, much."
■"About bow much, pray?"
■"A thousand pistoles perhapa."
"What la to be doner'
""You must set out immediately for
London; I will give you a paper which
you must not part with on any ac
count and wMch yon will deliver Into
the proper bands."
"I go to London! I have nothing to
do in London."
"But others require that yon ahould
go tbere. An Illustrious person sends
you, an illustrious person awaits yon
and the recompense will exceed your
expectations."
"More Intrigues! Nothing bnt in
trigues! Thank yon. madame, I am
aware of tbem now; M. le Cardinal
has enlightened me on that head."
"Tbe cardinal T" cried Mme. Bona

"He aent for me," answerad'the mer
cer proudly. "lie gave me his band,
and he called me hla friend."
"You serve tbe cardinal?"
"Yes. madame: and. as his servant,
I will not allow you to be concerned
in plots agalast the safety of the state
or to aaslst In tbe Intrigues of a wo
man who Is not a Frenchwoman and
wbo baa a Spanish heart Fortunate
ly we hare tbe great cardinal, hla vigi
lant eye watches over and penetrates
to the bottom of hearts."
Bonacleux was relating, word for
word, a sentence wblch be bad beard

"Ah. you are a Cardlnallst. then,
monsieur, sre you?" cried bis wife,
"and you serve tbe party who 111 treat
your wife and insult yonr queen?"
"Private Interests sre as nothing be

those wbo ssv4 the state." said Bona
cleux empbatlenlly. (This was one of
Rochefort's septeocea.) "Bealdes, see
here tbe bag of money wbicb tbe car
dinal bimaelf gave to me."
"And wbat do yon know about tbe
etate yon talk of?" aald Mme. Bona
deux. shrugging her shoulders. "You
are selling yourself, body snd seol, to
the devil for money!"
"No, but to tbe csrdlnsl. Hold your
tongue! Hold your tongue,
We may be overheard."
"Yea. you are right 1 ahould be

Twenty-five thousand egg consumers
Of Clevelsnd, 0., struck against ths
high prioe of winter eggs. Ths hens.
Induced by the mild westhsr, tocressed
their output the price came down and
no rotten eggs were thrown, though
them were plenty being sold tor frssb

The Idea that ostriches am a warm

Tbe belief has been exploded that a
hen cannot lay two eggs inla day, and
the autboritlea at tbe Nortll American

have the goods to prove It Two trap

Philadelphia to Wllkeebarre. Pa., 228

We have examined aucb shipments and
to every case found the mortality came
from crowding and ill usage. Excite

The limit of conservation baa been
reached when Professor Surface, atate
