life in the open air. A red ribbon in his
button hole indicated that he was an Of
ficer in the navy.
He cast sweeping look about the
room, then his face lighted up, and he
said:
81 hope you will excuse this intrusion,
sir, but the matter was of so much i'm
portance to me that sought out your
address and hastened here. will come
straight to the point. l beg that you
will sell me, at any price, your ebony
secretary"
Louis started in surprise and STAN
mered out:
"Sir, what do you mean?"
"Oh, know that my proposition is
strange one, but when you understand
my motive you will pardon me. That
piece of furniture which you bought
from the dealer, who gave me your name
was sold at time of need by person.
Here the voice Of the stranger trembled.
"By person who through my fault
was passing through a painful crisis
She had just lost her husband, who had
squandered her fortune to the last penny,
and she was forced to sell everything,
even to the smallest trife. This secre-
tary, which has been in the family for a
number Of years, went with the rests
But she would only consent to part with
it on condition that it could be bought
back at the end Of year. AS she did
not appear at that time it was purchased
by you. / was out of France at the pe-
riod. Well, came back and found my
unhappy friend. Our first thought was
to find the dealer and recover the secre-
tary. learned through him where it
was, and here am. trust you will ac-
cede to my request, strange as it may ap-
pear"
"Sir," said Louis, unfortunately that
piece of furniture belongs to my wife,
and she has filled with her own things.
could not possibly disarrange it with
out consulting her."
The stranger grew pale. Then he said
to Louis in choking voice:
"Sir, do you know if your wife discov-
cred secret hiding place in the secre-
tary?"
"What hiding place are you talking
aboutf" exclaimed Louis, with feigned
astonishment.
The stranger sprang toward the secre-
tary and in moment had opened the
secret drawer, pointing at the same time
to the package of letters.
"You will understand by this why
cherish this piece of the furniture.
Those letters were written by me to the
woman who today became my wife"
The words had hardly left his lips be-
fore Louis was feverishly tossing out
pellmell the many trifies that filed the
drawers and compartments.
''Take it," he cried. "Take it away,
sir. am only too happy to give it to
you'll"
When his wife entered few minutes
afterward and saw the parlor in such
disorder and her secretary gone, she ut
tered cry of dismay.
Console yourself, my darling" said
Louis, drawing her close to his heart.
"That piece of furniture revived unpleas-
ant memories. promise you another
another more beautiful"
And he smiled throuDh his tears SO
tenderly that she grew calm, not under
standing his grief, but feeling that what
had been done must be, after all, for the
best.-Adapted From the French For

vaults OF the Bank of France.

The treasures of the Bank of France
are said to be better guarded than those
of any other bank in the world. AT the
close of business hours every day, when
the money is put into the vaults in the
cellar, masons at once wall up the doors
with hydraulic mortar. Water is then
turned ON and kept running until the
cellar is flooded. A burglar would have
to work in a diving suit and break down
a cement wall before he could even start
to loot the vaults. When the officers
arrive the next morning, the water is
drawn off, the masonry torn down and
