In the morning Felton cam* at usqj
si. bat mUady allowed him to prealdt
over all the preparation* for the break
fast wit bout addressing a word to him.
At the moment be .was about to retire
she taw him make a powerful effort
over himself. He soot back to hit
heart the words that were about to es
cape from his lips and went out
Toward midday Lord de Winter came
to her apartment Milady waa look
ing ont at tfee window sad pretended
not to hear the. door as It opened.
"1 understand," said he, "you WDOtd
like very well to be at liberty on that
beach! Patience', patience! in four
days' time the thore will be beneath
your foot, tbe sea will be open to yoo."
Milady Joined her hands and, raising
her One eyee toward bsaaen-*-
"Lord, Lord," Bald the, with as an
gelic meekness of gesture and tone,
"pardon this man, aa I myself pardon
html"
"Yea, pray acchraed -woman!" cried
tbe baron. "lofcr prayer la ao much
tbe more generooa from yoar being. I
awear to yon. in the power of a man
who win never pardon youl"
At the moment he went oat a pierc
ing glance darted through the opening
of the nearly closed door, and the per
ceived Felton, who drew quickly on
one tide to prevent bains teen by her.
Then tbe threw herself upon ber
knees and began to pray.
The door opened gently. The beauti
ful supplicant prefeodtd not to hear
the noiae, and. In a voice broken by
tears the said:
"God of vengeance, God Of goodneesl
Will yon allow the frightful project!
of this man to be accomplished?"
"I do inot like to. dlstaib thpse who
pray, madftme," said Felton seriously.
"Do not diet orb yourself on my ao
count,. I beseech yoo. Repentance be
comes; the guilty." "T F
"Guilty! 17" said Jollatfcr. "Say I
am capdemned, sir, if yea please; but
yon know that God, who loves mar
tyrs, sometimes permits, the innocent
to be copdemned."
"Were you a martyr," replied Fslton,
"the grenter would be tbo necessity for
prayet."
"Oh; you are a Just man!" cried mi
lady, throwing bershlf .on her knees st
his fefrt "I can hold ont no longer,
for 1 fear 1 sbsll be wandering in
strength in the moment st which I
shall be forced to undergo thsi struggle
and confess toy faith. 1 only ask yon
one fsvor, and If you grant It me I will
bless yon In this world and In the
next"
"Speak to the master, madame," said
Felton; '"happily I sm neither charged
with the power of pardoning nor pun
ishing. If yon havo merited shame.
jnadame, yon must sutxslt t» lt> as aa
offering to God."
"Whan 1 speak of ignominy you

other of imprisonment or death.
Would to heaven it wsro as more!"
"It iff 1 who no l«MB» understand
you, madame."
"What! Yon are Ignorant of Lord

Incredible tone of truthfulness—"why,
then, yon are not bis accomplica. Yon
do not know that ha deaMnsm-aie to

"Yon are deceived, ■mtune," ssld
Felton, blushing. "Lord daJUnter Is
not cspable of speb a ctfcoa."
"Good!" said milady to herself.
"Without knowing wbatttJs ao call*
It a crime!"
Then aloud:
"Tbe friend of the toannous la cspa
ble of everything."
"Yon meao George Villi era?" said
Felton, whose looks became agitated.
"Whom Pagans snd infidel gentiles
call Dnke of Bncklnghsm,"' replied mi
lady.
"Tbe band of tbe Lord Is'stretched
over him," tald Felton. "Ho will not.
escape the chastisement hs deserves."
Felton did bnt express, with regnal
to the dnke, the faeling of execration
which all the English had vowed to
thednka
"Do you know hits, than-?" COMUOMA
Felton.
"Ob, know him—yoo, to my misfor
tune-to my eternal misfortune!" And
mllsdy wrung her hsnds. "Sir," cried
she, "bo kind, be element listen to
my prayer. Give me a knife for a
minute only, for mercy's, for pity's
sake! I will restore it to yoo through
the grating of tbe door."
"To klll yoorsetfr cried Felton. with
terror.
Some one wss hesrd In the corridor.
Milady recognized the atop of Lord do
Winter.
Valtoni recognized U also and made
a atep toward the dooa MSady
sprang toward him.
' "Oh, not a word." ssld aba In a con
centrated -voice, "not a word of all

Then, turning hit eyes from milady
to s paper which be held In hit hand,
he read:
" 'Order to conduct to ' The

Winter. "If you have any preference)

for lodging and food.'"
"That odder does not concern me." j
replied milady coldly, "since It bears
another name than mine."
"A name! Have you a nnme, then?"!
"I bear that of your brother," cried
milady.
"Ay, bat you are mistaken. My
brother is only yonr second husband
and your first It still living. Tell me
hit name and I will put It In the place
of the name of Charlotte Backson. To
morrow this order will be sent to the
Duke of Buckingham. After tomor
row It will return signed by his hand
sad marked with his seal, and four
and twenty hours afterward I Will
answer for Its being carried into execu
tion. Adieu, madams. That Is sll I
had to ssy to yon. Tomorrow I will
corns and announce to yon the depar
ture of my messenger."
Milady breathed again. She had still
four dayt before her to complete the
seduction of Felton.
A terrible Ides, however, rushed Into
tier mind. She thought that Lord dt
Winter would perhsps send Felton
himself to get the order signed by the
Dnke of Buckingham. Nevertheless,
one circumstance reassured her—Felton
had not •spoken. •
Boon after she heard lighter steps
than those of the sentinel, which came
from the bottom of the corridor and
stopped before ber door.
"That Is he," ssld the.
And- the began the same rellglout
chant which had so strongly excited
Felton tbe evening before.
But. although her voice, sweet, full
and sonorous, vibrated as harmonious
ly'and as affectlngly as ever, the door
remained shut It sppeared, however,
to mllsdy thst in one of the furtive
glances she darted from time to time
at tiih grating of tbo door the thought
the saw the ardent eyes of tbe young
man through the narrow opening. But
be did not enter.
• • • • /> • •
Tbe nest day, when Fetton entered
milady's apartments, be 'found ber
standing, mounted upon s chair, hold
ing in her hands a rope made by means
of torn cambric handkerchiefs.
He advanced slowly toward milady,
who had sat down, and took an end
of the murderous rope.
"What Is this, madaipe?" be asked.
"That? Nothing," ssld milady, smll
tag with that painful expfess{pn which

Milady roa*and stepped toward bID,

Is called Lord de Winter! You believe
and .vet you deliver me into tbe hands
of my enemies, of tbe enemy of Eng
land, of tbo enemy of God!"
"1 deliver you up to Buckingham!"
"They have eyes." cried milady, "snd
they, will not see: they have ears and
they will not hear."
"Yes. yes!" said Felton. passing bis
hsnds over hit brow, covered with
sweat, as If to remove his Isst doubt
"Yes, I recognize the features of tbe
sngel that appears to me every night
crying to my soul which cannot sleep,
'Btrike. save England, save thyself!*"
A flash of terrible Joy, but rapid aa
thought,'gleamed from tbe eyes of mi
lady.
Felton saw It and started as If Its
light bad revealed the abysses of this
woman's heart He recalled all at
once the warnings of ttord'de Winter;
bat, as If fascinated by this etraage
creature, lie could not remove hit eyes
from ber eyet. *
Milady was not a woman to misun
derstand tbe meaning of (hit hesita
tion. Before Felton replied the let ber
hands fall and us If the weakness of
the woman overpowered ths enthu
siasm of the Inspired fanatic—
"But no," said the. "The tword of
the eternal Is too heavy for my arm.
Allow me then to avoid dishonor by
death: let me take refuge In martyr
dom. I Implore you on my. knees—let
me die."
At bearing tbat voice, so tweet sndi
suppliant, at viewing that look, so tim
id and downcast, Fslton reproached
Mb self.
"Alas," said Felton, "I can do but
one thing which it to pity you if yon
prove fo me yon are a victim! But
yon, tnadame, so beautiful in resllty,
yon so purq in sppearance, mutt bsvs
committed great iniquities for Lord de
Winter to pursue you thus."
"They have eyes," repeated milady,
with an accent of Indescribable grief,
"and they will not see: they hsve ears
and they will not hear."
"But" cried tbe yonng officer,
"speak—apeak then!"
"Confide my shame to yon." cried
milady, with tbe blusb of modesty
upon ber countenance. "Ob. never,
never, never!"
"But to me. to a brother V tald Fel
ton.
The yonng officer. In his turn s sap
pliant, clasped his hands.
•'Well, then," said milady," "I confide
in my brother, 1 will daro to"—
At this moment the steps of Lord de
Winter were beard, but this time the
terrible brotber-ln-law of milady did
not content himself, as on the preced
ing day, with passing before the dodr
and going away again. He stopped,
exchanged two words with the senti
nel, then tbe door opened and be ap
peared.
During these two words Felton drew
back suddenly, and when Lord de Win
tor entered he was at several paces
from tbe prisoner. *
"You hnve been a long time here,
John," said De Winter. "Has this wo
man been relating hef crimes to you?
In that case 1 can comprehend tbo
length of the conversstlon." - .
"Ah, vou fear your prisoner should
escspe!" sold she. "Well, ssk your
worthy Jailer what favor I was but
this Instant soliciting of him."
"What favor, pray?" atksd Lord de
Winter.
"A knife, which she would return to
me through the grating of tbe door s
minute sfter she bad received It" rn
plled Felton.
"There Is some one then concealed
here whose throat this lady
Is desirous of cutting." said De Winter.
"There Is myself." replied mllsdy.
Felton felt a shudder run t6 tbe rnsr
row of bis bones. Probably Lord de
Winter perceived this emotion.
"Mletrnst yourself. Jobn," said he.
"I have placed reliance upon you. my
friend. Beware; t bare warned yon.
Bnt be of good courage, my lad. (n
three days we shall be delivered from
this creators, and where 1 shall send
her to she con hurt nobody." 7
Tbe bsron took tbe young officer by
the arm, turning bis bead over bis
shoulder so ao not to lose sight of mi
lady till be was gone oat ,
Mllsdy wulted then with much im
patience. for she feared tbe day would
pas* awsy without ber seeing Felton
sgaln. But In on bour she beard some
one enter.
"What do you wsnt with me?" said
>Ue.
"IJsten." replied Felton In a low
voice; "I have Just sent sway tbe sen
tinel 'Hie bnron bss Just related a
frightful history to me."
Milady sHMUined ber smile of a re
signed vlrtlui and shook ber bead.
"Either yon are s demon." continued
Felton. "or tbe bnrou. uiy benefactor,
my fstber. 1s s monster. 'Tonight aft
er 12 I will come and see.and listen to

"No. Felton. no. mybrotber; the sac

"Be silent, madame," cried Felton,
"and do not speek to ms thus. If when

I myaelf will give yon the weapon yon

At 0 o'clock I-ord de Winter made his

"Well." said he on leaving her, "you
will not escape this night!"
At 10 o'clock Feitou came and placed
the seatinei. Milady recognised bis
step. Two hours after, as the clock
struck 12, tbe sentinel wss relieved.
The new sentinel commenced his

At the expiration of ten minutes Fel

"Listen," said tbe young man to the
sentinel. "On no pretense leave the

sinister Intentions upon ber own life,

Felton entered mtlsdy's apartment
Milady arose.
"I promised yon I would come," ssld
Felton, "snd I sm come."
"You promised to bring s knife and
to leave U with me after our conversa
tion. 1 caß have nothing to say to a
man who does not keep bis word. You
may retire. I shall not speak."
"Here Is ths knife," ssld Fslton,
drawing It from his pocket.
"Let me see It," said milady. "Upon
my tionor | will instantly return It to
yon. You abnll place It on that table,
and you may' remain between It and
me/" •>
Felton held the weapon to milady.
"Well," said she. returning the knife
to tbe young officer, "this Is tine and
good steel. You are a faithful friend.
Felton, if your ahiter. tbe daughter ot
your father, said to you:
"Still young, unfortunately band
tome, I was dragged into a snare. I re
sisted. Tbe religion 1 serve, tbe Qod
I adore, Wfcre blasphemed. because I
called upon that religion and that Uod.
I resisted. Then outrages were heap
ed upon me, and as my soul was not
snbd'ied it was determined to defile
my body forever.
"One evening my enemy resolved to
paralyse tbe resistance he conld not
conquer. One eveulng ho mixed s
powerful nan-otic with my water.'
Scarcely bad I finished my repast
when 1 felt myself sink by degrees
into a strange torpor. I arose. 1 en
desvored to ran to the window and
call for help, but my limbs refused
their office. 1 endeavored to speak. 1
could only utter inarticulate founds,
snd irresistible faintness came over
me. I supported mytelf by a chair,
feeling that I was about to fall, but
this support was soon useless for my
weak arms I sank down upon ths
floor, a prey to a sleep which resem
bled death.
"I awoke in bed In a round chamber,
the furniture of which was sumptu
ous and Into which light only pene
trated by an oitening In the celling.
No door gave entrance to tbe room, it
might be called a magnificent prison.
"I arose tremblingly. My clothea
were near me on a chair. I neither re
membered having undressed mytelf
nor going to bed. I waa no longer In
the house I bad dwelt In. Tbe day
was already two-thirds gone. It wss
tbe evening before thst 1 bad fellen
asleep. My sleep, then, must hsve
lasted twenty-four hours.
"I dressed mytelf at quickly as pot
tlble; my slow and itlfT motions all
attested that the effects of the nar
cotic were not all yet dissipated. The
chamber was evidently furnished for
tbe reception of a woman.
"I made the tour of tbe room at least
twenty times In toarcb of an outlet of
tome kind. There was none. I ssnk
exhausted with fstlgus snd terror into
a cbalr. In the meantime night came
on rapidly, and with night my terrors
Increased. Although I bad eaten noth

prevented my feeling banger.
"All st once tbe noise of a door turn

Woman's National Damoeratlo League.
■
Mrs. Wood row Wilson, wife of tha new leader of Democracy and prob
able next mistress of the White House, la perhaps the most Interesting wom
an In the United States today. This Is Inevitable—not because she wishes
it, for she does not—and la as firm as a rock In her conviction that being the
wife of a public man does not necessitate nor call for a woman'a becoming
a publicity seeker. She succeeafully resisted all appeals of photographers
and Interviewers until Mr. Wilson's nomination as Democratic candidate
for the prealdency was un fait accoibpll. Thla modeaty la easily traced to
her southern anceetry and training and la characteristic alao of her distin
guished husband. '
She was born Ellen Loulao Axaon, daughter of a Presbyterian divine ol

Like Mr. Wilson, she has one brother and one slstor living, all In the
aama literary clrole as the doctor and herself.
■ In this atmosphere of learning Mrs. Wilson could bardly be expected to
be other than she is—widely read, broad-minded and charitable, devoted to
her' hopae and the principle* for which It stands. *
She has marked abtmy'as an artist, and It Is said that a portrait painter
of ability was spoiled when she married the young barrister who had then
given up the practice of his profession to specialize on the subject that has
made him a presidential nominee.
Mra. Wilson's three daughters—Misses Margaret Woodrow Wilson, Jes
sie Woodrow Wilson and Eleanor Randolph Wilson—posaeaa the mental
characterlatlca of their father and their mother's artistic temperament, com
bined In such a way as to give sest to every moment of their lives and pro

Mrs, Thomas R. Marshall, wife of tha vice-presidential nominee of the
Democratic party, I* a keen student of affair* and as the constant compan
ion of her husband baa had an exceptional opportunity of specialising on
human nature. A very practical and far-reaching result of this peculiar in
terest In the larger family of the state—she has no children of her own—
la fotind In the long list of humanitarian bllla paased by the Indiana legisla
ture during her husband's regime as governor. A bill to curtail child labor
beads the list, which numbers twenty, and Includes almost every legal cor
faction for the Immediate relief of labor, especially for that pertaining to
women and children.
The Marshall bom*, Ilka that of the Wilson*', la a home of booka, and
yet one 4oe» not feel "booklah" within lta walla. On the contrary, one feela
very much at borne there the moment Mrs. Marshall appears upon the scene,
and, If possible, more so when Mr. Marshall comes In.*
They are such chums, this "tender-hearted" governor and his wife, and
where one Is the other Is pretty sure to be found. They have traveled all
over the country together, and If the Woman's National Democratic league
baa anything to do with It they will soon be going to Waahlngton together.
Mrs. Marshall Is honorary vlce-presldsnt of the league and keenly Inter
ested In Its work, not because It Is part of the campaign, but because she
recognises the permanency of the movement to educate women In the pii»
el plee of Democracy.
