about ten o'clock she was sitting there
in bedroom. Her chair was placed
before her toilet table, which was light
ed by wax taper on each side of the
glass The two tapers were not suffi-
cient TO illuminate the room very brill
liantly, and the farther end lay buried
in sort of semi-obscurity.
Nine. Lucca was busy reading some
letters concerning engagements. when
suddenly she imagined she heard a
noise. She looked round, but seeing
nothing concluded she had made a mis-
take, and resumed the perusal of the
letters. She had forgotten the noise,
when she heard it again.
This time, instead of looking round.
she happened, without moving her
head, merely to raise her eyes to the
glass She beheld reflected in it the
face OF man peering cautiously from
out cupboard behind her.
At first she fancied she was dreaming.
She quietly looked again. No, it was
no dream. There was man, whom she
now recognized as having been former
ly in her service, whence he had been
discharged for general bad behavior.
She had also suspected him of purloin-
ing several objects which she had
missed from time to time, but not being
certain on that point she had kept her
suspicious to herself Yes, there he
was; there could be no mistake.
Nine. Lucca's first impulse was to
start up and give the alarm. But there
was not another habitation within
mile or two, and she recollected that
the only person besides herself in the
mouse was her maid, who. though very
good girl and extremely attached to
her mistress, was by no means cele-
nrated for her nerve. The other serv-

How the President of tho Argentine Re-
public ID Elected.
The mechanism of the Presidential
election in the Argentine works as fol-
lows: The President is elected for six
years and is installed on October 12th,
the anniversary of the discovery OF
America. The last year Of presiden-
tial term is one of elections. On Febru-
ary 18th are renewed third part of the
Senators and Deputies of the National
Congress, which will say the last word
in the election of the new President.
On the 18th of April takes place in each
province the election Of electors of the
second degree, who, being chosen out
side of the members Of Congress, and in
double their number for each province,
meet on June 18th to designate the can-
didate for the Presidency who has their
preference. These delegates accomplish
this operation in the capitals of their
respective provinces and designate the
President and the Vice President BY
means of signed personal ballots, which
are delivered to the legislature of the
province, and then sealed and trans
mitted to the President of the National
Congress, who opens and examines them
in presence Of quorum composed OF at
least two-thirds of the mem mbers Of that
assembly. In case candidate has OBJ
tanned an absolute majority for either
Office, he is immediately nominated by
Congress; If, on the other hand, no cam
didate has an absolute majority Con-
gress selects among those who have re-
ceived most votes, and in single ses-

How an AvsricIous Fellow Was Made to
Disgorge . Handsome Sum.
One thing the Emperor Nicholas held
In particular aversion, and that was
| avarice as trait of wealthy people. He
was once travelling with rich gentle
man whom he had often bantered upon
his meanness in money matters. In
course of the journey the carriage broke
down and had to be left behind for re-
pairs. The travellers went forward on
foot, and presently came to a spot
where the road was flooded to con-
siderable depth.
The Emperor called road laborer
and asked If he would carry him through
the water.
why not?" said the laborer. and
forthwith he took the monarch in his
arms and conveyed him safely across.
Tho Emperor gave him two gold
pieces and whispered: Now go and
fetch the other gentleman, but when
You have got halfway through the
water, stand still and ask him how
much he intends to give YOU"
The man did as was told, and in the
middle of the water demanded how
much he was to get for his labor.
''You rascal" cried the miser, ssthe
other gentleman paid for us both. I
saw him, you impudent swindlerl You
shall not have another fartbing."
What does he offer?" called the EN-.
peror
Says you paid for him, and he won't
give farthing," replied the laborer.
Then drop him into the water" said
Nicholas.
The man made movement to obey,
but his intended victim held ON tightly,
and exclaimed: Il will give you three
rublesl''
"Ask three hundred, interposed the |
Emperor, laughing, "he's we'll able to
pay it."
The terrified rider clung still more |
closely to his bearer, while he protested !
against such extortion. The Emperor
by gestures encouraged the man to re-
main firm.
WELL" exclaimed the miser at last,
carry me across. / will Fay you when
we get there"
Don't you trust him!" shouted the
Emperor, convulsed with laughter at
he scene; make him pay at oncer'
And so it was done. Tie anxious
raveler, still hanging over the water,
ook out his pocket-book and handed
he countryman three hundred rubles.

Nine. Lucca pointed to the door. Some
one on the other side was turning the
handle. Editha turned deadly pale, and
dropped tho lamp she was carrying.
Presently there was knocking, and q
voice exclaimed:
"Open the door directly, Or"
The rest was inaudible. Editha's
screams drowned all else. Nine. Lucca
waited until the girls first stock OF
breath was exhausted, and her second
not yet arrived; she then said, with
comic severity:
"Editha, if you are not quiet l wilt
begin by shooting you"
Editha thought, apparently, that her
mistress was in earnest. for the poor
girl Immediately rammed a l arge por.
ton of the nearest tow in to her
mouth, and restricted herself to swa y.
ing to and fro and sobbing violently.

door was massive oak and immovable.

to her mouth. The noise of bolt be-
