The Old WOman of fFOuntainebleau.
TThe Shahs DARYL

A smart soldier, lightly dressed, with
out coat, and an old lady whom they
addressed as MADAME" whose business
it was to show the ruins, came out. The
old lady, who spoke softly but eloquent
ly, led the way. We walked some dis
tance and reached number of curious
stones lying on the road. The old lady
stood still after every pace she made,
and said quietly that these stones re-
sembled human skull and skeleton.
We then arrived at great oak-tree, and
the old lady again stood still, and gave a
long explanation, to the effect that this
tree was one that had been planted by
Nine. De Maintenon, one Of the mist
resses of Louis XIV. There was also q
cave there. The old lady again stopped
opposite to the cave at broken stone,
and related how some King or another
had sat there with his wife or mistress,
both very much in love with each other.
We. passed this stone, and reached q
place little higher than the surround
ing ground, whore a great number of
large stone slabs were piled one on an
other, and from which we all had a fine
view Of part of the forest and some Of
the surrounding country. Here the old
lady gave us such long speech regard
ing ancient people and their virtues that
1 was completely tired out, and called
