CHAPTER VII.

THE FALL OF THE HOUSE OF DEsPREz.
The doctors house has not yet received the
compliment of description, and it is now
high time that the omission were supplied,
for the house is itself an actor in the story,
and one whose part is nearly at an end. Two
stories in height, walls of a warm yellow,
tiles of an ancient ruddy brown diversified
with moss and lichen, it stood with one wall
to the street in the angle of the doctors
property. 1t was roomy, draughty and in
convenient. The large rafters were here and
there engraven with rude marks and pat
terms: the handrail of the stair was carved
in countriied arabesque; stout timber pill
lar, which did duty to support the dining
room roof, bore mysterious characters on its
darker side, runes, according to the doctor;
nor did he fail, when he ran over the
legendary history of the house and its pos
SCISSORS, to dwell upon the Scandinavian
scholar who had left them. Floors, doors
and rafters had made a great variety of
angles; every room had a particular inclina-
ton; the gable had tilted toward the garden,
after the manner of leaning tower, and one
of the former proprietors had buttressed the
building from the side with great strut of
wood, like the derrick of a crane. Alto
gether, it had many marks of ruin; it was
house for the rats to desert; and nothing
but its excellent brightness-the window
glass polished and shining, the paint well
secured, the brasses radiant, the very prop
all wreathed about with climbing flowers
nothing, but its air of well tended, smil-
ing veteran, sitting, crutch and ALL in the
sunny corner of a garden, marked it as a
house for comfortable people to inhabit. In
poor or idle management it would soon have
hurried into the BLACKBOARD stages of decay.
AS it was, the whole family loved it, and the
doctor was never better inspired than when
he narrated its imaginary story and drew
the character of its successive masters, from
the Hebrew merchant who had re-edified its
walls after the sack of the town, and past the
mysterious engraver of the runes, down to
the long headed, dirty handed boor from
whom he had himself acquired it at a ruinous
expense. AS for any alarm about its security,
the idea had never presented itself. What
had stood for centuries might well endure
little longer.
Indeed, in this particular winter, after
the finding and losing of the treasure, the
Desprezes had an anxiety of very different
order, and one which lay nearer their hearts.
Jean-Marie was plainly not himself. He had
fits of hectic activity, when he made unusual
exertions to please, spoke more and faster,
and redoubled his attention to his lessons.
But these were interrupted by spells Of
melancholia and brooding silence, when the
boy was little better than unbearable.

Our dispatches yesterday stated that
Gen. Won Moltke, chief of the general staff
of the German army, had been relieved
from duty at his own request, and that he
had been succeeded by Gen. Won Waldersee
Gen. Won Moltke has been a conspicuous
figure in military circles of Europe for
many years. He is very nearly 8S years of
age, aud has been soldier for almost GO
years. In fact il the time he was a cadet
in the Danish army be counted, he has been
a soldier about IA years. He was born a
subject of Denmark, and entered the Prus-
sian army in 1892. He has served Prussia
in military capacity, therefore, 66 years.
What marvellous changes he has seen in
Europe in that time, and how large q share
has he had in bringing about those changes
His career has been remarkable one,
and he has the satisfaction of knowing that
he has proved himself faithful to every
trust. He passed to the generals staff when
he was 81 years of age. and when he was 81
he assisted in reorganizing the Turkish
army. He was with the Turks in the
Syrian campaign against Mehemet Ali, of
Egypt, in 1889. He passed through various
grades in the Prussian army until he reached
the rank of lieutenant general in 1859
After his great campaign against France in
the highest military rank in the Prussian
army. He retres from active ser vice the
