By fast driving Andre -Louis had. reached the ground some minutes ahead of time. There he found M. de La Tour d'Azyr already awaiting him, supported by a M. d'Ormesson, a swarthy young gentleman in the, blue uniform of a captain in the G terday's rejection.

"But time presses, and I warn you hat only the most solid of reasons can be worth stating." "But ... Oh, Andre, this meeting must not take plate!" She cane close , up to him, to sat her hands upon his shoulders, and stood so, her face within a foot of his own. "You know, of course, of some good reason why it should not?" said he. "You may be killed," she answered him, and her eyes dilated as she spoke. It was far from anything that he had expected that for a moment he could only stare at her. Then he thought he had understood. He laugh- ed as he removed her hands from his shoulders, and stepped back. This was a shallow device, childish and unworthy in her. "Come, now," said he. "There is too much between La Tour d'Azyr and me. There is an oath I swore on the dead hand of Philippe de Vilmorin. I could never have hoped that God would afford me so great an oppor- tunity of keeping it." "You have not kept it yet," she ante - drew warned him. He smiled at her. "True!" he said.

Ontario Fur Farmers Will Benefit by Flood Mississippi Area Almost Bare of Wild Life • While the loss of wild 'aaimai. Life may seem unimportant in comparison with the appalling property loss from the recent disastrous floods in the' Mississippi valley, yet it is one of ethe distressing features of this un. paralleled calamity, declares an ar- ticle in the August issue of "Field and Stream Magazine," which quotes an estimate made by the United States Bureau of Biological Survey that at least fifty per cont. of the small game animals in "the flooded districts have, been killed, "All floods destroy ground -dwelling game and forbearing animals, nests and young of ground -nesting birds, and even many of the birds them- selves," points out Field and Stream. "Enough is known to be able to says that in many wide areas all such wild, life lias practically been wiped out., The flood came at a particularly une fortunate time so far as animal life is. concerned, because the young of most species were , too small to save them- selves from drowning. The same can be said of young birds such as wild turkey, quail, grouse and innumerable species of song and insectivorous birds which neston or near the ground. The loss of quail and wild' turkey is particularly unfortunate, as these two species of valuable game birds aro at a rather low ebb anyway, and many years of care and protec- tion will be necessary to bring them! back."

France's modern alchemist, Jollivet Castelot of Douai, again is sure he is hot on the trail of the famed but un- found Philosopher's Stone with which the ancients believed base metals could be transmuted into gold. Out of six grains of silver, two of sulphur of antimony, one of orpiment and one of tin, he affirms he has produced ten milligrams of gold. * * * An inn keeper on the Italian Riv- eria has placed a sign outside the en- trance 'which reads: "Remember that: Pour glassfuls make one merry. Two quarts lead to intoxication and in- toxication ntoxication to discussion. A discussion leads to a quarrel and a quarrel leads to a fight. A fight leads to the Police Court and the Police Court to jail. Apart from this come here as often as you like, drink moderately, pay honorably, depart in friendship and return 'home in peace." A Happy Home in Japan "Now let me write my mother's life, just roughly. Her father was a great scholar of the ancient Chinese clas- sics. When she was born he named her Katsu. Tlie meaning of Katsu was from some ancient Chinese odes. He wrote that ode on a parchment.- It rues like this: laugh. He just smiled into the dilat- ing eyes of M. de La Tour d'Azyr, and made no shift to use his ad- vantage. "Come, come, monsieur!" he bade him sharply. "Am I to run my blade through anuncovered man?" Delib- erately he fell back, whilst his shaken opponent recovered himself at last. (To be continued.) When the vine of Katsu grows in. the deep valley, birds come to rest on its leaves and they sing sweet songs; When the vine of Katsu grows in the deep valley, its leaves are so green and its vines get so strong.
