suicide was quickly noised abroad. The
motive for it was known, and. that fact was
allowed to pass as a partial excuse for the
'wrong action. Merate the celebrated be-
came Merode the popular. His father's
farm, which wag called the White Friar, was
but a short distance from the chateau of
Borgne, belonging to Count Mauligny,
Clotilde's father. During convalescence,
James made numerous excursions about the
neighborhood, basying, his leisure with
botanizing. An that lime, with his speci-
men case on his back, he was about the field,
or the hills or the woods. It was thus he
met Clatilde. She was curious about him.
Who could this teal youth be, pale, some-
what weak, with a delicate face, but an ener-
getic and highly 'intelligent look about him,
whom she saw whenever she took a drive or
a ride on horseback. She was told he was
James Merode, son of the White Friar farm-
er. She knewhis story. To the child of warm
imagination, this famous young man who
had pushed a point of honour to the length
of suicide, and whose praises the journabi of
Paris were still sounding, was a kind of
hero. She became more intereated in him.
It was chance that brought about the first
meeting but it was Clotilde whose fertile wo-
man's invention knew how to take advant-
age of the opportunity. And soon they
-were both desperately in love. Clotflole
lived an independent existence, the Count
had such confidence in her that she was
" free to come and go as she chose. And so
in natural affection, they paned four de-
lightful montbr-
One morning Father Merode left the
White Friar and took the road leading to
La Horgne. He had on his bast blue blouse,
starched so stiff that it stuck out in a big
hump on his back. His wide trousers of
spotlessly white cotton were stuck in his
boots to keep clear of the mud, for there had
been seine rain. He was known every-
where in the district, and his son's celebrity
had thrown a s3rt of aureole around the
bald, wrinkled, shrivelled head of the old
peasant.
He wanted to h -peak with M. de Mauligny
The Count was m the courtyard preparing
to go hunting.
"Good day, Merode," said he, giving him
,e cordial hand shake. "And hew's your

Be bad seen the quiverieg flesh shudder
under an expert hand, but all that seemed
mere play to him now. Nothing at all to
what he was euffering himself now in his soul.
He struggled hard to keep up heart, to re
cover his energy, to laugh away his weak-
ness, to cast away his agony, he, the
man who bad remelted so deeply into
science, who all his life harl had but one
worship, study. The num who had had the
animal courage to punish with attentpted
suicide a mistake that nobody blamed him
for, this man became a child again'and
slabbed as if bis heart would break. Some
days afterwards M. de Mauligny introduced
Laurence de Bargemont to his daughter,
and afterwards took Clotilde aside and said
to her.
"It would plea me to have Lawrence
for a son-in-law. Our two families have
long been intimate. Be is a nice fellow, in-
telligent and sensible. I trust that you will
not cross me and that the marriage will take
place."
Clotilde burst into tears. Mettligne re-
garded her sternly and then added dryly.
"1 know everything. You have behaved
foolishly. Allow me to set things straight.
Vainly she tried to soften him, to tell
him of her ardent love. He would not list-
en, but shrugged his shoulders and treated
the matter as a joke, She was weak. She
feared her father and had no mother beside
her to support her with her love. She had
to bow to the inevitable, in despairing,
mournful resignation. She never dreamed
of rebelling. The doctor remained at the He does not answer, but keeps turning

Finely -bred, intelligent horses are very
often nervous, They are quick to notice,
quick to take alarm, quick to do what seems
to them, in moments of sudden terror, neces-
sary to escape from possible harm from some-
tbirg they do not understand. That is what
makes them shy, bolt, and run away. We
cannot tell what awful suggestions strange
things offer to their minds, For aught we
can tell a eheet of white paper in the road
may seem to the nervous horse a planing
chasm, the open front of a baby carriage the
jaws of a dragon ready to devour him, and a
man on a bicycle some terrifying sort of a
flying devil without wings. But we find
that the moment be becomes familiar with
those things or any other that affright him,
and knows what they are, he grows indiffer•
ent to them. Therefore when your horse
shies at anything, make him familiar 'with
It ; let him smell it, touch it with'its sana-
tive upper Hp, and look closely at it. Re-
member, too, that you must famillarze both
sides of bim with the dreaded objeot. If he
only examines it with the near nostril and
eye, he will be very likely to scare at it
when it appears at 14s off side. So then
rattle your paper, beat your bass dram,
flutter your umbrella, run your baby carriage
and your bicycle, fire your pistol, and clatter
your tinware on both sides of him and all
around him until he comes to regard the

objects as only 'trivial things liable to get

All the flimsy paraphernalia of the cam-
paign were forgotten, the rivers of gay creat-
ed knights and. gloating bannera, the tatter-
ed alanders and threats of national ditaster.
The people were gathered in the walla of
their city, trembling to know what the ma
jority ahonld decree. It was a close fight
andtevery one knew it. All they could do
was to wait and atrain their eyes, and shout
till their throats were hoarae. None could
possibly know the result early in the even
lug, none, unless it were the party managers
and they sat pale and nerveless in their hum
dente alternately sending out bulletiut o
hope or dread.

The sight must have profoundly impresae
a stranger to American institutione who look
ea upon the chief city of the nation in Ite
supreme eastacy. In Madison equare tl irty
thonaand people stood in front of the "Her

was like the beating of wild waves throng

assemblap were the blazing corridors of th
hotels, in whioh half-orazed men with flush
ed faces and blood-ehotoyes waved handful
of money, and with blasphemous boasting
sought oat their opponents. Crowds of drunk
en men avfiried into the wide, trumultuon
exenes from every corner of the city. Th
dainty ladies who had trooped down fro
their aristocratic homes, unable to bear th
suspense of ignoranoo any longer, hran
back from the wild, savage outpour of th
oity's unwashed hosts. White-haired, feebl
men crept out and got into snug positioni
where they could watch the varying figure
through their spectaeles and tell the.roister
ing, excited young men around them that i
was a more glorious night than the old time
ever saw.
Down in front of the news paper offices
prairie of faces seemed to be spread on
from grim St. Paul's to the Brooklyn bridge
When the car spassed through it the crowds
parted like water and flowed again into the
wake, hurrahing and swaying with passion.

A WAR or VOICES.
But although this bewildering scene turn-
ed the city into a Babel, the revolution was
one of order. No blows were struck. Never
in the history of New York was such pati-
ence'common sense, tolerance and good
nature exhibited. A man who had $10,000
wagered on the result, and with wealth and
beggary at once threatening him, could hear
the ex-ultations of his political foes and
smile. It was a war of voices and not at
fists.Even the polios who were spattered
in these great throngs had to join in the
enthusiasm and yell like the rest.—N. Y.

Imitation
Is sometimes called the sincere form of flat-
tery. This may account for the number of
imitations of the original and only positive
