' " Something connected with the League, I suppose," Le Gautier yawned. "If it was not yourself I was talking to, I should say, confusion to the Lftagaa" " How rash you are 1" Salvarini returned in a low tone, accompanied hj an admiring glance at his companion. "Consider what one word spoken lightly might mean]to you. The attendants here, the croupier even, might be a Number in the League." " Very likely," Le Gautier replied care- lessly "but it is not probable that, if I should whisper the magic words in his ear, he wonld give me credit for a few napoleons. I am in no mood for business to-night, Luigi; and if you are the good fellow I take you for, you will lend me" " One Brother must always aid another according to his means, says the decree. But, alad I have n3thing. â€" I came to you with the intention " " Oh, did you?" Le Gautier asked sardon- ically.

Le Gautier smiled sarcastically. " It is gone," he said lightly â€" "gone to swell the bloated coifers of the bank. Fortune, alas had no favor even for that mystic coin. Sacred as it should have been, lam its proud possessor no more." " You are mad, utterly mad " Salvarini exclaimed. " If it were but known â€" if it has fallen into the hands of the bank, or a croupier happens to have a Number, think of what it means to you The Coin would be forwarded to the Central Council the signs would be called in yours missing" â€" " Aud one of these admirable German daggers would make acquaintance with my estimable person, with no consolation but the fact of knowing what a handsome corpse I shall make. Bah A man can only die once, and so long as they do not make me the posthumous hero of a horrible tragedy, I do not care. It is not so very serious, my Luigi." " It is serious you know it is," Luigi re- torted. " No Brother of the League would have had the sublime audacity, the reckless coor ige" " L'audace, I'audace, toujours I'audace," Ls Gautier returned. "I s'gh for new temptations the sight of the gaming-table is to me what the smell of battle afar off is to the war-horse. I came her intending to risk a louis I have lost everything.

" And I have staked it to-night on the hazard of a die " Le Gautier exclaimed, pallid even beyond his usual deathly white- ness. "Fool, fool that I was How can I prevent it becoming known? I am undone!" "lYou do not know the worst," Salvarini replied. "Come closer, and let me whisper in your ears e«-en the walla carry such tid- ings.

" You will not want it now. What a mad fool I have been I I wonder if there is any w*y of recovering it for I must have it, come what will. With a penalty of" â-  "Death!" The word, abruptly, sternly uttered, was followed by the same low mocking laugh they had heard before. They looked around in aliirm, and not the trace of any one could be seen. Standing in the recess of a window they looked out hue no sign of the myster- ious warning, so strangely given. " Let U3 get away from this." Le Gautier groaned. '*I.am stifled! Come outside into the open air. My nerves must be un- strung to-night." They walked out through the high fold- ing-doors, and disappeared in the darkness. As they left, the woman who had been play- ing rose from her seat and followed them. Apparent'y, she was too late, for they had varnished and with a sigh, she abandoned her evident intention, turning into Kursaal gardens and throwing herself into a seat. Directly she quitted the saloon, the woman with the dark eyes follovred, and tracked the other to the quiet refreat. For some time she stood behind the shadow of a tree, watehing her. It was a brilliant moonlight night â€" clear, calm, and peaceful. Without there, the lighted windows of the gambling saloon could be seen and ever and anon the murmur of the croupier, the scrape of the rakes, and the subdued clink of the gold might be heard. But the figure on the seat did not .heed these things she was looking at a coin in her hand, making out as she best could the devices that it bore, strange and puzzling to her. It was merely'agold coin, in fine a moidore of Portugal and upon the reverse side, the figure had been rubbed down, and an em- blem engraved in its place. There was a figure of Liberty gazing at a rising sun, her foot upon a prostrate dead body, and under- neath the words "I strike." Over the rising sun, in tiny letters, was the device, " In Freedom's name;" and at the top, two letters in a monogram. The seated figure noted these things, but, f ro6i the ex- pression on her face, they represented no- thing to her. Behind the shadow of the tree, the watcher crept closer and closer, trying in vain to get a glimpse of the golden coin. As the seated figure b-snt over it, tears began to gather in her eyes, overflow- ing at last, and the passion of sorrow seemed to rise, till her frame was shaken with sobs she did not strive to master. The woman looking on stepped out from her shelter and crossed the open grass to the other's side. Her face, on the contrary, was eager, almost hopeful, as she bent forward and touched the weeper on the shoulder. She looked up, surprise mastering her grief for a brief moment.

The caUe, 18 miles in length, eonneoting the mainland with the Idand of Antioosa, has parted. It well be impossible to repur it for some time owing to the qasatity df ice in the straits. The Minister of Agriculture has decided to establish experimental farms in the N«rth-West, wiim a view of -testing the .ca- pabilities of the soil in various districts for certain products. In the Recorder's Court at. Montreal eleven storekeepers, charged with exposing objectionable advertisements in their win- dows, were' each sentenced to «ght days' imprisonment, without the option of a fine. W. A. Stinson, a large cattleman, and two of his employes have been murdered by Comanche Indians in Green county, Texas. A large portion of the tribe have taken the warpath, and a general outbreak is expect- ed. One day last week some young black- guards, belonging to Belleville, forced a re- formed drunkatd to drink liquor. His old appetite overpowered him, he was arrested, and died very soon after recovering from his debauch. Furious cyclones and hailstorms swept over a large part of Western and South- western Missouri, South-Eastem Kansas and Northern Arkansas on Thursday night of last week, causing great loss of life and destruction of property. Several towns were entirely demolished. At the annual meeting of the Council of Queen's University, the proposal to rise a Jubilee endowment fund of $250,000 was sanctioned. It is understood that a citizen of Kingston will give $10,000 toward the fund, and an additional $50,000 will be raised in Kingston. A pension system in connection with the North- West mounted police will likely be adopted this season. A detachment of 100 men of the force, under Supt. Steele, will likely be sent to patrol the Kootenay dis- trict in British Columbia during the coming summer. Thirty miles of Father Labelle's colonize tion railway will be built this year. The projected line starts at St. Jerome on the line of the Canadian Pacific, and will run in a north-westerly direction as far as the Desert, where it will strike the Gatineau Valley Railway. The ultimate terminus will be near Lake Nipissing or at Temiscam- ingne. Dr. W. Cox Allen, superintendent of cus- toms and inspector for ranches for the North- West, states that ranching prospects for this year are exceptionally srood, the over crowd- ed state of the cattle districts in Montana, Dakota and other States necessarily causing the southern cattlemen to look to Alberta and other new fields. The mortality in these States has been unprecedentedly large while in the North- West (Territories it has not exceeded in native cattle 5 per cent, and in imported not 10 per cent. The farmers have ploughed a larger area of land this spring than ever before, and their hopes of good crops are very sanguine. iaSoeaieBH oa the nbiBsd ndwisad troni obssnratfon oa leosM of (to in staanL m- ssusaian. tMim, H.

A strange man was fonnd dead in bod at The Kaiser's Fortune Twice Told. It appears that the Emperor as tad hi fortune told twice. The first time was in 1863. He was strolling incognito in a wood near Baden, accompanied by his faithful Bismarck and other friends. Suddenly they came across an old gypsy, who begged to be allowed to tell their fortunes. Several of the party having tried their luck, his Majesty consented to do likewise. The gypsy took his hand, and, after minute study, said, "I see a great crown, bloodshed, warj laurels and a life of 96 years." The second time was in 1884. The Emperor had forgotten all about the gypsy's prophecy, when a niece of Count Czechenyi, the Austriam ambassador, arrived in Berlin and created a great sensa- tion not only by her beauty but also by her reputed skill in palmistry. She was present at court and his Majesty in a playful spirit took advantage of the occasion to con- sult her. She had no sooner scrutinized his hand than she exclaimed, "I see a life of 96 years."
