SAVING A LIFE.

Why Paul Duplessis Changed tho Plot of
His Serial Romance.
1t is the practice of some writer's of
serial stories to begin the publication
of their romances before the end is
written. In the early stages of the
story they do not know any better than
the public who read it how they are
coming out" This is especially the
case in France. where nearly every
newspaper has feuilleton or depart
ment in which a continued story Is pub
lished.
1t is related by Aurelien Scholl in q
budget of literary anecdotes just pub
lished that when Paul Duplessis was
publishing a serial romance in the
Patrie he was visited one evening by
Millet. the artist.

Patrie this morning you left the count

had fallen into an ambush and was
surrounded BY those who have every

"Well, does she die"
"Yes; she meets her death at the
point of the Corsican's poniard.'

reader of your stories that the countess
was necessary to the come out Of the
romance, and that she would get out Of
the scrape."
Dear me-" Duplessis exclaimed. He
drew out his watch. Only nine
o'clock he said. There's time
enough yet"
Time for whata"
Time to get into cab and go to the

where his boyhood days had been spent.
The village itself had not changed
much, but all the faces he looked into
were strange, and no one seemed to
recognize the gray-haired man passing
along the quiet street. At first he did
not understand the meaning Of the
flags and flowers that were displayed
in such profusion on almost every
dwelling, but after moments thought
he recollected that ii was the 30th Of
May, Decoration day in the north.
Not wishing to disturb Ben's folks SO
early in the morning, he turned into
the cemetery to read the names upon
stones that had been placed there since
he went away.

side Of the cemetery. "Ah, there il

beyond. and laid the offering on the
grave-his grave.
She did not utter word, but tears
fell thick and fast over that grave, dug
nearly a score of years before. He
could not see her face and thought il
must be Lottie, Ben's eldest girl, who
was a mere baby when he went away.
us that You, Lottie?" he asked, taking
a step forward.
Instantly the woman rose to her
feet, and he stood face to face, not with
Ben's Lottie, but with Marion Jewell.
Has the grave given up its dead?"
she asked. recognizing Hugh in spite
of his changed appearance.
'.The grave never held me, Marion"
he answered. Marion, Marion-what
shall call you?"
Call me Marion Jewell, just as you
used to- was the reply.
There is but little more to tell. There,

Important Report and Recommendations
by the New Orleans Citizens Commits
tee.
NEW ORLEANS, May 15.-On October
IS last under resolution of the city
council the mayor was requested to
appoint q committee of fifty or more
citizens to investigate thoroughly the
matter Of the existence of secret
societies or bands of oath-bound assas-
sins. The mayor appointed this COM
mittee, known as the Citizens Com
mittee.' which on Thursday submitted
its final report The first work of the
committee was to obtain from the chief
of police a report of ninety-four assas-
sinations by Italians and Sicilians
where the accused escaped for want of
evidence. Then followed the as-
sassination of the chief of police.
The result of the trial which
followed demonstrated to the
people that no one was safe from the
mysterious band that had piled itself
and was operating outside of and re-
gardless of the law. 1t was only when
this fear grew into absolute conviction
that the people themselves rose in their
might, took the law into their own
hands, and then followed the events of
the l4th of March.
The report at considerable length
goes on to show the existence here of
the Malta which for years had terror

mittee called upon the Italian consul
and assured him that the purpose of the
body was to legally rid the community
of criminals and give greater
security to life and proper
ty to all its citizens of what
soever nationality. The consul said
that he was satisfied of this and was
ready to cooperate to this end. lie
said he was convinced Of the existence
of the Malta in this city, and that a
cotorie of its members composed prin-
cipally Of the men who We're killed at

In the resolution Of appointment this
committee was requested to suggest
needful remedies. On this subject the
report says:
I'm our opinion the remedy Is: !. The regu.

inal laws and administration Of criminal jus
tice. 3 A law recognizing the existence of o
bar association and endowing 1t with full power
to try and disbar any attorney whose evil
practices render him unworthy Of being an
officer Of courts. The only radical remedy
which suggests itself to us Is the entire prohi

Italy. II was found necessary to prohibit
Chinese immigration, and congress passed tn

LATER
The Charleston lsut no Itata

WASHINGTON, May l5.--s9ter week S
waiting, some tangible news was to-
day received at the navy department
from the Charleston. First came a
dispatch from Acapulco, stating that
the Chillian insurgent cruiser Esmeral-
da had put out of Acapulco harbor yes
terday and had returned to the port
to-day. Later on, through the state
department, a dispatch came saying
that the Charleston had arrived at Aca-
pulco; that the Esmeralda was still in
port, but giving no news of the Itata.
What the next step is to be no one of
the department knows or feels free to
tell. The Charleston is to take on coal,
Us her supply has probably nearly
run out during the weeks chas e.
Whether the Esmeralda is 10 have the
privilege of taking coal aboard cannot
be learned here, as it is q matter en-
tirely within the control of the Mexi-
can government; but the presumption
at the department is against it, as the
neutrality laws would be strained by
the Mexican government IL it allowed
anything beyond water and food sup
plies to be furnished q belligcrent. The
theory at the navy department is that
the Charleston, whose commander,
Capt. Remey, has orders admitting
large discretionary movements, will
now lie ut or near Acapulco for time,
trusting that the ltata, which is slow
seven-knot ship, has not yet passed
down the coast. and will try to coal in
that neighborhood. If she is sighted
the Charleston will doubtless try TO
seize her. She cannot do this in Mcxi-
can waters, SO that it would be ncces-
sary to head her off outside the three
mile line. Or if unsuccessful i'm that. to
follow her to sea when she goes out

'.You do not understand everything,
Marion. may be q coward, but have
always been true to you.
stop that silly sentiment. Go, Isay,
before you drive me Inad.''
Without another word Hugh turned
away. and from the window she saw
him going with rapid strides down the
path that led to the public highway.
Once she rose to her feet, determined
to call him back, but he neither turned
his head to the right nor left, and she
sat down again, muttering: LET him
go; he will be back soon; can stand it
as long as he can
In spite of her determination to be
brave, the warm tears crept up to her
eyes, dimming her vision and thus shut
ting ont the loved one from view.
The two had been lifelong friends.
and though their lips had never ex-
changed formal vows, she had worn his
ring for many happy months, and all
the neighbors understood that some day
Hugh Curtis would make Marion Jewell
his wife.
At his mothers knee, Hugh had i'm
bibed his peculiar ideas of keeping the
peace, and in his boyhood he had often
been numerically twitted for allowing
his companions to impose upon him.
This was not the first time that he had
been called coward, and as he walked
slowly along the dusty road that bright
May morning, he began to wonder If,
after all. his conscientious scruples
might not be merely convenient cloak
under which to hide his cowardly nature.
1t was the first time that Marion had
ever accused him of being coward
and she would not have done it now
had she not loved him too well to hear
his name banded about by the man
who had provoked the trouble. Thane
Lenox's faultless attire and fine city
airs were calculated to dazzle the little
country maid. and it is no dou bt quite
true that she felt flattered by the atten.
tion he lavished upon her; still her
