"Pet Wo must try and save Jacques from her clutches, and nothing less than your intervention will enable us te %leveed. Lot us leave that for the fu- ture, however, and mule/ ourselvee evith the present. Let. us speak of Mlle. do Vignes." 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 Laurier Wf19, as he affirmed, radically cured of his fatal PaSSIOn, and Lent- I 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 Vignes, forewarned by Davidoff, had seen the future, which had appeared. 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 the free and lecive Pierre 1.eurair Who bad worked SO joyttaly ten hours a day in the open air, inhal- ing the invigorating odors of juniper awl fir -tree, and thet he becente once 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 with garden e on whose sands of gold the waves'ilie languourously away. His .heart beat quickly as he saw the Cha - dean d'If looming darkly in the dis- tance, its lights gleaming through the nigitt Iike'"'-'eyes looking into beeneusity.

Pierre, standing on tee platform ready to leave the train, leaped to the 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 the hand of his faithful friend, drew him .aside. "Well?" he cried, putting all his eagerness into this one queetton. "Calm yourself," said the Rueeittn, who understood Laurier's anxiety. "juliette _is in no present clanger." Pierre lireuthed a profound eigh as if his heart had been renewed fro& a heavy weight. "And 3 acq tees ?" he asked. "Ali! Jacques:" responded Davietoff. "4t is he, more than any one else, who gives) ma cause for uneasiness, But let 113 not remain here.

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- ed, aed followed by a boy carrying Laurier's valise ascended to Davidoff's arartmente Laurier's ....chamber was separated from the Russian's by a par- lor. Left alone they examined each 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!

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.

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." —"Napoleon and the End of the French Revolution," by Charles Warwick.
