There was a man who hunted New
York over for hoop skirts the other
day; not the new crinolines that come
from France, but the old ones that used
TO be made here. He got the addresses
of six or eight former manufacturers
and found their buildings torn down or
devoted to other uses. Crinoline max
ing is a lost art, and but one man in the
city has any stock of them. This man
has samples of the make of the

CHAPTER 1.
TIE NEW ARRIVAL.

lie NEW A0h1V AL.
In the spring Of 1903 Charmont-sur-
Pont was one of the quietest little vii
lagos in the whole of France. It was
nestled in small valley, through which
little stream ran to join the Isere,
about two days journey below Grenoble.
The tree clad hills rising up on either
side sheltered it from all winds and shut
out the hum Of the larger world:
It was little wonder that the villagers
were peaceful and prosperous in this lit
tie garden plot Of natures making, for
it would be impossible toimagine more
favorable condition for the enjoyment of
rural life. The glebe was rich, the
springs were many, and the summer sun
shone with such radiant heat in the shell
tered valley that corn and wine ripened
unfailingly, and what farmers call ga
bad year" had never been known.
But the peace and prosperity were not
merely the growth of positive forces.
Mems troublous ways andsthe irruptions
of strangers troubled them not. Even
the terrors and troubles Of the revolu-
ton had seemed to have passed them by,
and now, when the hamlets of France
were being drained of men to recruit the
wasted armies and to swell the "army
of England" which was gathering on
the northern coast, this sheltered nook
escaped unscathed.
Such thing as complete stranger
was unknown in the village. Now and
again came an official on his way from
place to place-a casual peddler or an
itinerant musician on his rounds-and
at such times the curiosity which lay
dormant in the breasts of even these old
world villagers raised its sleepy head
and enjoyed the rare attraction. Very
few of the villagers had ever been away
from their homes. The cure, it's true,
went now and again to Grenoble, and
the doctor had been once to Paris with

humanity in this quiet spot. !.
It was therefore with strange feelings
that the little group assembled under the
spreading lime tree whose shade kept the
clear water Of the well perpetually cool
saw approach q stranger, and not merely
q stranger. but a seemingly distinguished
stranger young man Of some 30 years
Of age, tall and well built, with striking
features and flashing eyes and . habit.of
command which, however, Tailed but
poorly with his time worn clothes. He
was handsome, graceful fellow, with
the easy gait that marks the. habitual
pedestrian. His glance was bold and
rowing, with something of the predatory
look, which conveys to educated eyes
customary ignorance Of where the next
meal might come from. In word, the
man in less SIM p community could
not have been mistaken for anything but
an adventurer, but here in this forgotten
corner of the earth, among people so
guileless, his very boldness, shiftiness
and ndextravagance of action became marks
of higher culture than their own.
roadway the little village crowd peered
out eagerly from their shadowy citadel,
and by some exercise Of that unknown
instinct which brings the vulture to the
quarry and the crowd to the street the
cottages began to pour forth their in
habitants. The village maidens made
their appearance with marvellous celeri-
ty, considering the fact that they had re-
mained an extra minute for further
adornment.
The traveller seemed to be shrewd
fellow enough for the occasion, for SO
soon as he began to find himself an OBJ
ject of public attention he began to
slacken his pace, to look around with
eyes of lazy inquiry and generally to
act with that careless indifference which
has 50 much charm for those who but
seldom find their lives quickened by any
object of curiosity. AS his value per-
ceptibly increased in the public mind,
so he got slower and slower, until an
agonizing fear came to all that perhaps
the stranger might, after all, change his
mind and not condescend to visit so
humble place.
More and more anxious grew the little
crowd which still kept swelling up as the
new arrivals joined. The stranger in an
unconscious way hummed a tune as
though he saw no one. Then he stop
ped little, looked around and strolled
on again. The villagers admired in
silence and with gathering awe. The rev.
olution was not so far behind but men
still remembered the tradition of the
grand seigneurs, whose naughty indif-
ference to all beneath them gave them a
value in public esteem.
He came closer still, stopped again, and
then, without seeming to notice or even
see any one, came actually within the
charmed circle of the lime tree, which
was now as the evening came on throw
ing lengthening shadows over the green.
The crowd was silent. No one ven
tured to speak, but the stranger looking
listlessly around picked out the prettiest
and best dressed girl in the place, and
taking off his hat with q flourish made
her a low bow, saying as he did so, with
an admiring glance:

She Is Starving Herself.

NEW YORK, Aug. 5.-Annie Smith, a
mysterious woman. was found starving to
death in her humble room at 1855 South
First street, Brooklyn.
For two years the roof has sheltered a
mystery. The neighbor women have Cos
siped and guessed and watched the spare,
black clad figure of Annie Smith going
down the stairs at the break of day, as
cending them at its close.
In an ambulance Friday morning the
mystery was trundled off to St Catherine's
hospital in Bushwick avenue, and there
she is mystery still. The hospital doc
tors have tried to get her to tell her story
The white ROBBED sisters have gone to her
bedside and made every effort women can
make to learn from her what is hidden be
hind the plain name of Annie Smith
She simply smiles and shakes her head
Beef broth, brandy and milk-all the mild
forms of nutriment which hospital nurses
are forever administering-have been held
up to her. She opens her eyes, shuts hel
lips tightly against all potions and smiles
and shakes her head again.
Annie Smith is deliberately, word
lessly starving herself to death. Through
stages of delirium she has borne her pur
pose in mind. In rational moments she
thanks the sisters in a soft voice for theiI
kindness, but of her story-not a single
word
