But to return to the mysterious
light in the old church. one night
Bllcttc and Pierre, who were still
plighted lovers, though the extreme
contempt Of the maiden for her
adorer had hitherto prevented the
final knot Icing tied, were coming
from Il friends house, where they
had spent the evening. When they
reached the oil church, both Of them
perceived that there was, most Ger
tainly, light shining through its win
dOws. PieTre's immediate impulse
was sudden fight, but Babette, still
true to her cOlors as a 'philosOphic
free-thinker, declared her intention
Of clearing up once for all the mys-
terry. She made the trembling Pierre
wait close by and then boldly adj
vanccd herself toward one Of the
church windows and looked In
As Babette gized at the sight
which met her view, II was 30
strange and utterly unaecountable
that she rubbed her eyes, thinking
she must be under some optical H.
Iusion, but when She looked again II
was all still there. What she saw
was, shortly, this-and II was little
wonder that she wL' bcwildered with
widest astonishmcnt; she beheld
the Countess grave open, and at the
side Of II stood Fifnc, the farmers
wife, with Il great glittering mass Of
something which looked like a heap
Of gold and silver lying at her feet.
liabette's rltionalistic principles for
sOOk her most trcacherously and
melted away like morning mist; the
notion suddenly flashed across her
that Fifinc was a witch and she sank
insensible to the ground. Pierre's
love WAS stronger than Pierre's fear;
having heard Babettc cry out as she
tainted, he came to her help, though
she was lying in the very CLEANS Of
the mysterious light. When she
came to herself In the house whittier
he Ind borne her, Babctte was 50 far
touched by his devotion that she
promised to become his wife next
morning and kept her word. On the
very morning after Babcttc's vision
FiiinC and Maurice disappeared from
their farm in a sudden and mystcri-
Gus manner.
Not until many years after when
political changes in France allowed
Of the return Of the Florion family to
their native land, was the whole
strange story with regard TO them
and their servants, Fifnc and
Maurice, cleared up. II was then
publicly known that the young
Countess was not dead, aud that the

vile. The fact of the Countess being
regarded rs dead had, moreover, en-
ablcd her to carry out with greater
safety scheme for her husbands
escape. When things had grown a
little quictcr in France, Maurice and
Fiflne diSinteFred the buried treasure
and conveyed It to his master and
mistress in England. The whole had
been invented and carried out by the
courage, wit and devotion Of Fiflne.

Michigan Postoffices.

Under the law the postoiliccs through
out the country are divided into four
classes. The first three grades are
termed Presidential Offices, because the
salary being at least 81 900 year, the
postmaster is appointed by the Presi-
dent. The fourth class, comprising the
greater portion of the offices, includes
those where the salary is less than ST.
900, and the appointment is made by
the Postmaster-General. AS already
said, the Presidential postollices are d.
vided into three classes. In the first
class are found all offices having q sala-
nv of ut least $4,000; the second class
range from $4,000 to $4,000, and the
third contains those from 81 900 to g.
600.
There are in Michigan 527 postof-
fees of all classes, which is an increase
during the fiscal year of forty eight Of
fees. During the past nine years there
has been an increase of offices in the
State in the number of 325.
The Presidential offices of the State
reach the number of 10Y. Their are five
offices of the first class, Detroit, Grand
Rapids, Jackson, East Saginaw, and
Kalamazoo. This is an increase in this
grade of two since the last adjustment,
East Saginaw and Kalamazoo having
advanced TO the first rank. The second
class number thirty-four, the only pro-
motion to this grade being in the case
of Allegan. The fourth class contains
sixty-eight offices, and there has been
added TO this class since the last adjust
ment, nine offices, which can now claim
the Presidential rank. They are. Ed
more, which receives salary of ST.
500; Fort Gratiot, 81 100; Iron Noun
tain, 1900; Manchester, 81 ,100 st.
lgnace, 81, 100; Berrien Springs, 81 400;
Republic, $1,000; Oscoda, 81, 200, and
Plymouth, Sl,100. The Offices i'm this
grade which can claim the largest in
crease of salary are Edmore and Iron
Mountain, both securing $500 after
reaching the Presidential standpoint.
The largest single increase in the case
of the old Presidential offices occurs at
Ionia, which gets an addition of $500.
Ishpeming comes next with $500. Ale
gan and Alpnm secure 5000.
In order to give place the benefit of
the free delivery service it must have
$1,000 inhabitants. There are seven
cities in Michigan supplied with letter
carriers: Detroit, Bay City, East Sagi-
nav, Grand Rapids, Jackson, Kalama-
ZOO and Lansing This is an increase
of four in the Michigan free delivery
cities during the fiscal year just closed.
These places are: Bay City, East Sagi-
nav, Kalamazoo and Lansing.

In the village of townsville N. Y,
live couple who have probably enjoy
ed longer welded life than any other
couple in the state, if not in the Union
They are the venerable Peter Bogart
and his wife, who were married in 1908.
There is but few days difference in
their ages, both being nearly nlnety-six.
Mrs. Bogart is in excellent health, and
walks a mile daily to minister to the
wants of an invalid daughter. The VEN
cradle couple recently celebrated the
seventy-fifth university of their mar
riage. when there were present descend
ants TO the fifth generation. A sister of
Mr.. Bogart's, age nearly seventy-nine,
lives with them, with faculties so well
preserved that she remembers the occa-
sion of the wedding, although she was
not four years old at the time. Della
ware County N. Y. seems conducive to
longevity. Corn st. John lived for three
quarters of century there, and died
ut the age of one-hundred and three.
Aunt Prudence Larkin, of Pease Eddy,
died recently ut one hundred and seven.
