The weather was delightful. The blue or tho sea blendee into the blue of the sky. A delicious breeze laden with salt odors mime from the ocean. The Waves, fringed with silver, died away at the foot of the rocks that bordered tne solitary little bay. Accompanied by Itis mother, Jacques left the house and began to walk elowly up and down in the sun, Alme, de Vignes Was a, small and slender woman, with it delicate face, expressive black eyes, and an entellec- tual forehead, crowned with hair which had turned prema- turely white • Her countenance wore the calm expression ot a resignation that had become babit- ual with her. She' walked softly and in silence, casting a glance from time to time et her son as it to measure the progress caused in his convales- cence by the climate bf the South. Jacques, stopping in the middle the terrace, and seating himself on the stone parapet which was warmed by the rays of the sun, watched through the crystal clearness of the water the strange colors of the sub- marine vegetation. Sitting in the warm atmosphere, his head bared to the breeze, he forgot his illness, and felt stealing over him a vivifying sense of well-being.His sister approached him, having gathered her flowers, and stiffly kissing him said: • "How do you feel this morning? Did you sleep well last night? It seem- ed to me late when you came home.” The sick man smiled at the recollec- tion of the follies in which he had once consumed his nights, and taking a spray of Mingpsa from the young girl's basket 'answered: "Oh, very late, indeed! It was past ten!" "You.are laughing at me. That does not alter the fact, however, that you went out last night for the first time Ellice we have been here." "My doctor gave me permission to do Bo. He was , one of the guests - and a doctor never finds the pleasures in which he himself participates hurt- ful." Juliette remained silent for ,a mo- ment, then asked with a serious air: "Do you like this Doctor David- off?" "Yes; hells an agreeable companion, and his Scientific knowledge is genu- ine and profound, notwithstanding the satanla character it sometimes as- sumes. Besides, I do not believe he is so demoniac as he tries to agear. But it is an incontestibte fact that since he has been attending me 1 am better." "Ah, my dear boy,"' cried Mine. de Vignes, "that alone would make him seem divine to me. Let him'be what he will, if he will only cure•you. In any case he is perfectly well-bred and of good social standing. But he .naight be a rustle and L would still adore him. AU I ask from him is to give you, back your health."

"Waiteful to your ormulee, my dear Davidoff," he said, Presein his friend's hand, "How many thanks I owe you for all your attentions to me!" Tee doctor seluted Moe. de Vignes and her daughter. His countenance was cold and impassive. Jacquee leek - ed at him with Astonishment and Jul- iette with terror. Why this constrain- ed attitude, this silent greeting? What was it he feared to tell? What had happened that caused him to wear tide mournful countenance and gloomy air? The Russian raised his eyes to- ward Jacques, and -slowly, as if seek- ing to prolong a sitUation which de- ferred some Painful communication, said: "Do you feel Well this morning? Did you sleep soundly last night? Have You any fever to -day?" He felt Jacques' pulse, holding his wrist for a tew moments between hie fingere. "No; it is stronger. You can be treated like a man now," be added. Jacques looked at the doctor and in a hollow Voice said: "Has anything happened serious en- ough to require such precautions?" Davidoff nodded in the affirmative, -without speaking. "And you hesitated to tell me of It?" resumed Jacquce. eyeee, "And now?" "And now I am ready to tell you." He lowered bis voice a little so as not to be heard by the mother and sister of the young man and said: "It would be better, however, to wait until we are alone." They all walked slowly toward the houee. When they were in front of the parlor, the blinds of which were Partly closed to shut out the sun, Mine. de Vignes and Juliette paused. The young girl looked at the doctor anxiously, She felt that the mysteri- ous words he had just spnken had some, secret connection with the thoughts that had troubled her at the moment of his arrival, The image of Pierre Laurier appeared before her, pale and indistinct, and seeming as if vanishing into nothingness. The ser- ious communication which Davidoff had to make related, she was sure, to the painter. Of what nature was it? A shudder passed through her frame. On thie beautiful sunny morning site felt cold. She saw the blue heavens veil themselves in obscurity, the sea grow dark, the verdure of the pine trees lose its color. A knell sounded in her cars. Overcome by her funereal hallucination, her brain whirled and the earth seemed slipping from under her feet, The voice of her mother pronounc- ing her _name recalled her to her- self. Her eyes unelosed, her vision grew clear, and the sky was once more bright, the sea blue, the trees green. Nature was still the same; her heart alone was oppresSed with an- guish, and her niind filled with gloomy foreboding. "Come, Juliette," repeated Mme. de Vignes.."I think your brother wishes to be alone with the doctor." The youpg girl cast an appealing glance at the Russian, as ff it depend- ed upon him whether the calamity she feared had taken place or ,not, then With a deep sigh she went into tit, house. The two men had seated themselves near one of the iron columns support- ing the glass roof of the veranda, around which twined clusters ot fra- grant heliotrope. They remained sil- ent for a moment, each thinking of the reveiation which was to come. Then Jacques, with the egotism of the invalid, said tranquilly: "What have you to tell me, my dear friend?" "A very sad piece of news, very sad indeed. It was brought to me this morning, and I confess that I am still completely overwhelmed by it. If it were not necessary that you should be told of it, I would have deferred My Painful task, but it so nearly concerns. you-" Jacques, grown suddenly nervous, interrupted him.: "What a preamble! How am I con- cerned in what you have to tell me?" "That is what you are now about to learn," replied Davidoff, looking at his patient so intently that his glance seemed almost stern. "At about one o'clock this morning a suicide was committed, close by Monte Carlo. A man threw himself from the cliff In- to the sea. Sone custom -house of- ficers, making their rounds, foetid his overcoat, his hat, and a few words - addressed to you." "To mei" eXclaimed Jacques, turn% Ing pale. "To you, The artieles were taken to the Governor, who, knowing how in- timete we are, caused me to be notie fled in order that / might break the news to you." Jacques' eyes seerded suddenly. tie reeede in' his heed, and his Mouth twitched convulsively, as he said: "It concerns some one, then, With wheel I abi closely cotmeeted?" . "Very closely."

The ?Ethel', With Something like terror, took the thinkpleee of pasteboard in hie heed and read the baths engraved upoe it. A steldea flush Mounted to his cheeks as he tried: "Pierre! Pierre!

For this woman, apparently so frail, to take Juliette in her arms Was thework of an instant, She laid her en the sofa, examined her countenance, placed her hand upon her heart, felt it beat- ing, and, somewhat reassured, asked her son: "What has happened?" Davieoft approached the young girl and moisteued her temples with water Jacques did not give his mother the card on which was written the last will of his friends bequeathing to him his soul, Ile only uttered the words: "Pierre is dead." It seemed as if these words had power to make themselves heard lot Juliette, even in her unconscious state.

CHARLES WHOOTEN, Port Mulgrave. 00100401004.0.a, 4.00100100 Beating the Game of War. (Bartel° New,) It is in the order of things that every new invention for warfare -- each' more terrible than the last one -is presently offset by an invention to neutralize its effect. The two ac- tivities run parallel. For this reason the world is pardon- ably curious concerning Fessenden's perfection of a submarine wireless. The present war has developed noth- ing more destructive than the seb- marine and anything that gives the surface ship something of a chance against its hidden foe is certain to be a factor in the preservation of life and property. Unlike most of the "Improvements for killing" -though the term sounds paradoxical -the Fessenden oscillatory signal device serves both contenders in turn. It gives both hearing and speech to the submarine, making it Independent of the surface, a,nd it euables the surface ship to spy below and seek out the hitherto hidden dan- gers. It is, in addition, an iceberg alarm, underwater wireless telegraph and, under favorable ' conditions, a wireless sea telephone. The warning vibrations have been received a distance of thirty-two miles and the importance of the apparatus Is emphasized by the declaration that hardly any submarine could be oper- ated successfully against a battleship equipped with the Fessenden signal. Gradually the inventive genius of man, which has ever been war's strong- est ally, is proving treasonable to its trust, Get More Vim!
