A Fiendish Revenge.

On the 2lst of June, 1914, six young
merchants were drinking wine at the
hotel European, on the Rue Riveraine,
in Bordeaux. They were in the best
of spirits, for wine had risen rapidly
in the market, and that very morning
every one OF them had made thousands
of francs by advantageous sales of claret
at the Wine Exchange.
"Boys, if this stroke of luck contin-
YES for few months" said NJ. de St.
Andrieux, laughing, "we'll all be rich
before we know 1t. Waiter, more
champagnew
The merry company consumed a
great many bottles Of the effervescent
wine. Finally they were almost in a
state of intoxication, and when in that
condition the natives of. Bordeaux are
decidedly dangerous.
Three young officers Of the Third
Royal Regiment of the Line entered
the room. They smiled superciliously
as they perceived the condition in
which the young wine merchants
were.
"Have some wine % shouted M. de
st. Andrieux to them.
One Of the officers, a young Sub-Lieu-
tenant, replied proudly:
"We do not drink with such trash as
you'll"
"The next moment st Andrieux had
grasped the young officers throat and
pummeled his face with his fists where
upon the other young wine-merchants
kicked the three officers out of the
room.
Next morning st. Andrieuxwas chal-
lenged to mortal combat by NJ. Adolphe
de Val-Brieux, Sub-Lleutenant. The
duel came off the following morning.
st. Andrieux fired at his antagonist,
but missed him. The Sub-Lieutenant
fired into the air shouting.
'I do not want to kill that wretch !"
The news of this duel reached Bor-
deaux the same day. st. Andrieux
was so mortified that he did rot dare to
show himself in public. He sold his
business out and disappeared from the
city. Val-Brieux and his regiment
were transferred few weeks later to
Algeria.
The Sub-Lieutenant's father was
wealthy landowner in Touraine. He
lived at the splendid Chateaux de Lu-
vogue, with his only daughter, Jacque-
line, pretty girl, but, like the rest of
her family, immeasureably proud.
One day old Mr.. de Val-Brieux's
confidential steward, Ranole, was
found to have embezzled nearly two
hundred thousand francs, with which
he escaped to Brazil.
This crippled Val-Brleux for time,
financially, until he engaged as Raf-
folle's successor very adrolt young
man, who said that his name was Jean

Young man, this is the best advice
can give you Just now: Act natural ,ol
do not act at all; always be yourself
nothing more, nothing less.
We should remember this, the world
is more inclined to give us credit fol
what we are doing than for what We
have done or intend to do.
After a man has made reputation
to prevent infringement, it would be 4
happy thing if he could have it patent
ed.
The man who will agree tc work fol
nothing, is the hardest kind of man
to satisfy, when you come to settle with
him.
h:ve seen folks spend ali their prin-
cipal, and then try to live on the inter-
est of it. This is gloomy.
TO let yourself down to any man s
level is easy enough, but to get back to
where you came from and not tear your
clothes is pure business.
My sweet youth, you were given two
ears, and one tongue, and two eyes, for
a wise purpose, What do you suppose
the purpose was?
Many people are afraid to be natural
for fear they will he called common,
but the truth is, we are never so strong
nor so interesting, as when we are per-
fectly natural.
Money can make q man notorious,
but cannot make him respectable; but
one-half the people do not know the
difference.
DO not suppose there is any such
thing as perfect happiness, and what
little happiness there is, is largely COM
posed of this mean ingredient; we are
happy just in proportion as we have
got something that others have not got,
nor cannot get.
Probably the great successes of life
have often most been reached by know
ing how to take advantage of our lucky
Moments
My dear boy, lay this up on your up
per shelf-if you hit the bull's-eye nine
ty times, and miss the hundredth, the
world never forgets the miss and cannot
seem to remember the hits,
Ii it were not for the risks, there
wouldn't be any fun living in this
world, dead sure things (enough Of
them) will demoralize any man.
Why do we love little children SO
much? Is it not on account of their
simplicity, all of it, springs from their
faith!
1t Is not after all so much what we
enjoy, as what we expect to get, that
makes us happy.
The man who will not forget any
thing is not agoing to learn much
more.
There IS one rule which believe has
40 exception to 1t; when man falls
down on the ice, where the water is an
inch and half deep, he never feels
proud of the job.
About one-half of the trouble in this
world is manufactured to order out of
nothing, and large share of the other
half is the result of not knowing the
true value Of things,
The world has many people In 1t who
are very respectable simply because
they are very proper.

Andre. Andre caused his employer to
write promisory notes to the amount of
upward Of one million francs, which
he had got discounted, il is true at al
most ruinOus rates.
Nal-Brieux, glad to have extricated
himself for the time being from his fl
nancial troubles, became dissipated.
He was frequently under the influence
Of liquor.
One morning his daughter came to
him, and confessed In great distress
that she had been seduced. Her father
wanted to know who had ruined her.
She refused 10 tell.
In his rage. Val-Brieux shot himself
through the head.
Andre took charge of the estate until
Val-Brieux's son, the Sub-Lleutenant,
would arrive from Africa. When the
young man arrived, he said to Andre ::

st. Andrieux told the truth. lie had
purchased all the notes signed by his
employer, and had taken for the
amounts mortgages on the latter's
property. The Sub-Lieutenant in his
despair, blew out his brains.
Mile. Jacqueline was sent to con-
vent.
st. Andrieux sold the estate in Tou-
raine at heavy discount, and went to
China, where he established an import
ing-house; but he died a year after his
arrival in that country.

THE OLD COUPLE


They sat in the sun together,
Til the day was almost done,
And then, at the close, an angel
Stepped over the threshold alone.
He folded their hands together,
He touched their eyelids with balm
And their last breath hoated upward
Like the close OF solemn psalm.
Like bridal party they traverse
The unseen mystical road
That leads 10 the beautiful city
Whose builder and maker is God.
Perhaps in this miracle country,
They will give lost youth back.
And the flowers Of banished springtimt
Shall bloom in the spirits track.
One draugbt OF the living waters
Shall restore his manhoo i's prime,
And eternal years shall measure
The love tha. outliyes time.
Brit the shape they left behind them,
The wrinkles and silver har-
Made sacred to US by the kisses
The angel imprinted there
Wen hide away IN the mea low,
When the sun is low in the west;
Where moonbeams cannot find them,
Nor the winds disturb their rest.
But we'll 'et no tell-tale tombstone,
With its age and date. arise
Ger the two who are old no longer
In their Fathers house in the kies.
