Pierre's brow cleared. At this mo-
ment dinner was served, and the two
friends seated themselves at table and
spent the next hour in exchanging con-
fidence.
Pierre gave an aecouut el his so-
iourn at Torreveechio to tho doetot,
and the latter recounted to the puintci
all that had taken place during his
ab-
sence. In this way they were able to
arrive at the convection, Davidoff that

ter that Davidoff, in recalling hint as'
hnetily as he had done, had acted with ;
as much wisdom as decision. Toward
nine o'clock they left the hotel and set
out for the house of Mine, de lignes.
Ti the, boulevard, in the mild air of
the summer night, Pierre felt his exert
moll with joy attd hope He raised
his eyes to heaven with n feering of
repentance at having so ineanelet de-
spaired of happiness.
During the past few days Alma de

to Ler so dark, lighted Up by a faint
ray of hope. Tee certainty that
Pierre Laurier lived, the poeitive-
noes with wheel Davidoff af-
firmed . that the painter loved
Juliette, and loved only her, had given
the Mother some little consolation. In
the 'midst of the misfortinies which
overwhelmed her, With everything to
fear from her son, and everything to
fear for her, daughter, the possibility
of seeing Julitte once more restored
to health and tranquility was a, source
of Sweet eatisfaction• to her. What
were pecuniary cares compared to the
anxieties caused by her daughter's in- ,
Creasing weakness and dejection?
When he found himself dressed
again, after the unrestreint of Jac,
many months, in elOSie fitting waist-
coat and coat, he gave a sigh. It
seemed to him that he ceased to be

Who bad worked SO joyttaly ten hours
a day in the open air, inhal-

more the Pierre Laurier of the past,
who, cursing his art and despairing of
the future, spent hie liours between
the boudoir of a coquette sold the
gambling saloon of the club.
He raised his eyes. Night was fall-
ing, but bellied the Chestnut groves,
bathing in its pallid light the frowning
rocks, the moon shone, like a silver
crescent in the sky. The forest breeze,
warm and fragrant, passed over the
young man's brow, soft as the cares-
sing touch qf a wing, He looked at the
sea, which relied, profound and calm,
at his feet, and murmured "You nittY
bear me away. I fear neither you nor
those from wimps you separate me,"
His transitory discontent passed
away, and at this moment, when he
was about to take the supreme step
that was to decide his fate, he found
himself master of his thoughts and
of his. feelings,
No emotion stirred hie heart at the
thought of the woman he had so pee-
sionately leyed. He dared to evoke
her image. He saw her with her low
brow crowned leeth its raven tresses;
her beautiful eyes with their long
lashee, her intoxicating glance, --but
he remained indifferent and disdain-
ful. He loved her no longer, all was
over; the charm had ceased; the phil-
ter was powerless. He had recovered
possession of himself, and his heart,
freed from its bondege, was once
more worthy of a good woman's ac-
ceptance. And tears of emotion came
to Laurier's eyes, His trembling lips
murmured a confession of love, and
his whole being reached through
space toward the adored object.
On the following day at nine o'clock
the boat sailed. Pierre again saw the
dock beside which the Saint Laurent
lay at anchor, while he was painting'
its figurehead of carved wood, the
mole, the baetion of the Dragon, and,
hi, succession, Cape Corso, Giraglia,
and the Italian coast. On board the
boat, which sailed rapidly, he re-
traced the route taken by the little
smuggling vessel.
As they drew nearer the French
coast he asked himself with growing
uneasiness what could be the cause
of Davidoff's hasty summons. .A vague
disquietude took posseseion of him,
and he began to fear that some mis-
fortune had happened. To whom? The
words of the letter written to him at
Torrevecchio diy the doctor recurred
to him: "The report that you had
been drowned ,came very near causing
the death of one closely conuected with
Jacques." These words had changed
everything in his life. Was -this person
Juliette, and was she now in danger?
Should he arrive only in time to see
her, in whom his only hope no* lay,
expire? But the letter contained these
words also: "You passed close to hap-
piness without knowing it, but there
Is still time for you to regain it."
Was this happiness going to es-
cape aim anew? Was it not pro-
bable that this young girl, who was so
beautiful, was loved, and that another,
during his absence, had succeeded in
cceuirvinedg? the wound her heart had re -
A profound sadness took possession
of Pierre, at the thought that this last
throw uptin 'evhich he had staked his
happiness shOuld lose. A feeling ot
mental lassitude overpowered him, and
he felt that it would be a mortal blow
for hien, should this prove to be the
case. He wee consumed by impatience
to learn the truth. On board the ves-
sel, as its keel cleaved the blue wate
ers, he longed for some means of eor-
responding with Davidoff. He stretch -
.ed out his hands toward the shore, as
if the reasuring news he desired were
there awaiting him. He envied the al-
batross its swift wings as it sailed in
its melancholy flight through the
blue air. He walked the deck nervous-
IY, as' if his impatience could lend
added speed to the motion of the ves-
sel.
He could not sleep, and he remained
on deck, Ms gaze fixed on the hori-
zon. They Nosed in succession Genoa,
etIonaco, Nice, Antibes, and Toulon;
sailing along this enehanting eoast,
bordered down to the water's edge

Pierre, standing on tee platform

ground and was caught ill the embrace
of two strong arms. He raised Ids
eyes, recognieed Davidoff, uttered a
ery of joy, and, pressing in his tttrn

"Well?" he cried, putting all his
eagerness into this one queetton.
"Calm yourself," said the Rueeittn,
who understood Laurier's anxiety.

Pierre lireuthed a profound eigh as

"And 3 acq tees ?" he asked.
"Ali! Jacques:" responded Davietoff.

discretion oh Your part. Do you know
that if Mild. de Vignes were to see
Ycu appear suddenly before her the
sin Ck might prove fatal to her in her
present condition?"
They drove along the boulevard
conversing together, and Laurier was
tao confuseCto take in fully all there
was to Me and hear. The bustle of
Paris, after leaving the train in which
ter twenty hours he had been shaken,
sueceeding the profound calm and re-
tirement of his lite at Torrevecchio,
fevered his brain, dazzled his eyes,
and deafened his ears. He was obliged
to make an effort in order to listen to
and understand Daeidoff. He felt
weary in body and over -excited in
mind.
"My journey has tired me greatly,"
he said, "and yet I feel that I cannot
rest—"
"You have been living for the past
three days on your nerves," returned
the doctor. "I am going to set you
right again. Trust to me. If I never
had patients more difficult to cure
than you—"
The carriage rolled into the court-
yard of the Grand Hotel. They alight-

other silently for an instant; then the
doctor, pointing out a seat to his
friend, said:
"Sit down; we will dine here and
talk at the same time, and if you are
reasonattle I may do something for
You this very evening."
Pierre's eyes lighted up. "What?"
he asked. "Will you permit me to see
her?"
Davidoff laughed.
"You are at leaet frank," he said.
"To see her! It Seems, then, she is
the Only subject you and I have to
talk about! Wen, you are right, and
it was of her I was going to speak.
Since the beginning of the week I have
been here, and I have gradually emus- .
tomed her to the thought of your re-
appearance. In the depths of her heart
she has mourned you as dead for
many months past, From the first
words spoken by me, casting the sha-
dow of a doubt on your death, she has
revived, but in a manner to terrify
her mother and myself. A violent fev-
er has taken possession of her. Her
wealmess was se great! She has been
fading Slowly ever since your disap-
pearance, groWing paler and paler ev-
ery day, like a flower eankered at the
heart. As to her brother—but it is
better to speak only of her."
"Is the heves you have to give tne
of Jacques, then, so painful?"
"Heart -breaking, morally and phy-
sically. This Week, spurred on by an
imperious need for money, he put for

Well Tempered. Living.
The statistics of insanity show that
the minds of men and woraen are of-
ten made aberrant through the eteady
drive of environment, in which the
simple life and the spurring city 111e
are equally itt fault. The figures show
the per capita of insa,nity differs little
in city and country. Rural solitude
and the abnormal life of the city are
alike responsible for mental diseases.
It is as bad for a man to be too mucht
alone as it is for him to be surrounded
by perfervid life. The history of the
race, the inquiries of investigators and
the judgment of specialists en the die -
eases of body and mind tell us that
the well tempered life, void of exces-
ses, is the plane upon which men
and women beet endure in mental and
bodily health, a temperature of
thought and a teinDerature of actton
in an environment in which the indi-
vidual is neither submerged by tureen
society nor detached from It—Seattle

HER IDEALS CHANGED,
She Saw a Very Large Light After
She Was Happily Married,
There was a girl who was quite sure
that when it came her turn to marry
she could not live in a house any
smaller than her father's( "Love in a
cottage" was not her lam. Cupid, she
thought, needed plenty of room to flap
Ms wings and to practice his archery;
he could not pine an a birdcage. So
she must have an immense library
with a fireplace that would take a six
foot long; there must be a drawing
room with parquetry flooring and thick
rugs sliding about on it; the dining
room must be able to hold a large
table with an imposing bowl of flow-
ers. She vitualized herself ruling a
salon, hostess to a brilliant coterie of
people who would help her social am-
bition and her husband's business.
A school friend of hers came to see
her a year and a half after she had
married and found her in a little frame
house on a side street, ridiculously
happy with her husband and her baby.
The back yard was just about big
enough to hold a whirling clothes
frame and a narrow flower bed against
the fence; the piazza Was as snug as a
sailor's hammock; the largest room
was about the size of the vestibule of
the bridesgirlhood home.
'I know what you're thinking,"
laughed the proud little housekeeper
to her guest. "You're wondering hove I
could make up my mind to live in this
tiny piano box. But I've made a dis-
covery. I've found that it isn't the
size of the house that matters; it's
the size of the heart, and the biggest
hearts Can live In the littlest houses."

The Legion of Honor.
In. 1802 Bonaparte passed the for-
mation of a legion of honor which
was to include in its ranks men of
distinction from every walk of life,
not only soldiers, but savants, jurists
and authors.
"It is aristocratic in its tendency,"
said Berner, a distinguished lawyer,
"leading France back to the ancient
regime when crosses, badges and rib-
bons were the toys of monarchy."
"Well," replied Napoleon, "men are
led by toys. The French are not all
changed by ten years of revolution;
they are what the Gauls were—fierce
and fickle. They have one feeling—
lionor, We must nourish that feel-
ing; they must have distinction."
The oath taken by a new member of
the Legion of Honor was to devote
himself "to the service of the repub-
lic, to the maintenance of the integ-
rity of its territory, the defence of its
government, la,we and the property
which they have consecrated; to fight
against every attempt to re-establish
the feudal regime or to reproduce the
titles and qualities thereto belonging."

French Revolution," by Charles
Warwick.
