Old People Show.

A somewhat novel competition, which
is described in our Paris letter published
today as constituting the antithesis of the
baby show held in the French capital a
year or two ago, is about to take place
next month in the Pavilion de la Vile de
Paris in the Champs Elysees. It is an
international show Of old people. No
one under the age of 80 will be permitted
to compete for the prizes offered, but as
there are at least so duly authenticated
centenarians in France alone this restric-
ton will hardly interfere with the sue
cess of a show from which the medical
authorities expect to derive as much sci
entiic and useful information as they
were able to obtain from the baby show
two years ago.-New York Tribune.

The Siam Trouble.

OF the precise merits Of the question
between France and Siam at its present
stage it is not easy to speak until the ma
ture of the French ultimatum is made
known. But the Siamese appear to have
shown a conciliatory spirit in the bound
ary dispute. The area in controversy is
the broad belt of land lying east Of the
Me-Kong and between that river and the
main mountain chain of Ana1n. The
French accuse Siam of putting garrisons
into this area, but it is quite certain that
the Siamese have withdrawn from point
after point without a struggle, while
such conflicts as have occurred seem to
have been of local origin rather than un-
der the orders of the king. This mon
arch, a man Of about 40 years, who: has
been on the throne since the age Of Is, is
admitted to be ruler Of high character,
humane, anxious for reforms and eager
to place Siam in the advanced line of
modern Asiastic progress. He has made
many internal improvements in his king
dom, has fostered commerce, has vel
coined foreigners, and if he now hesi-
tates to give up large part of what he
has always considered his domain at the
menace of French feet and an Anam-
ite army it is what might be expected.
One question now for Siam is, What
is England going to do? Without her
aid Siam r " fall into the hands OF
France, as Burmah fell into those of Eng.
land herself. Yet that aid might itself
reduce her to the condition of a British
protectorate. The disputed boundary is
fair subject for arbitration, but there
is no indication yet that France will
agree to settle it in that way.-New York
Sun.

@s'But, if it be true, what then, Myra?"
questioned Mrs. Maynard quietly, a sin
gular little smile on her face as she
looked directly into the girls eyes.
''You will be rich woman; rich enough,
perhaps, to hold the allegiance of this
self-lover, who has at last chosen be-
tween us. Oh, how bitter that sounds!

rificed to lis mercenary selfshness that
forced me to speak these words of warn

ity ends here. You are free to deal

all that he has done and is capable Of
yet doing if his selfish ends require it. -
Miss Hilary rose quickly from the low
hassock and stood facing Mrs. Maynard,
her hands clasped, her head thrown
back, her eyes glowing like stars. She
was very pale but perfectly composed,
and when she spoke her voice was firm
and free from the slightest trace of ex-
citement.

case. Her name is Of no consequence:
or rather, it is of so much consequence
that shall withhold it for the present
Taken ct an early age from wretched
tenement house in New York, and
transferred to the different atmosphere
of wealthy ladys home, where for the
first time in her life she was treated as
a human being, where her hands were
trained to deftness in all household
duties, where she was given sound
rudimentary education and was fitted
by kind and painstaking instruction for
the humble walk in life for which
nature and circumstances had evidently
designed her, this girl knew no better
than to misinterpret the intentions of
her kind benefactress (who was, as you
may have already shrewdly surmised,
none other than Annie Dupont's
adaptive mother), and upon this misin-
depreciation to build the most absurd
and extravagant expectations. It may
have been the girls own preposterous
vanity that conceived the notion, or it
is possible that the thought was sug-
gested to her by some older person. Be
this as it may, she began to cherish the
hope that she would some day receive a
liberal share of the lady's small fortune,
to which, as she knew, there were no
immediate heirs. It was only when
Annie Dupont was legally adopted that
this absurd bubble burst. Learning
accidentally at this time of the foolish
expectation that the girl had been in
dulging, the lady told her to dismiss the
idea at once. Il should never have
dreamed of making you heir, in any
event, she said, and now everything
that possess will go to Annie, my
adopted daughter
''1nstead of acquiescing in this deci-
sion without a murmur-which calm
philosophy, by the way, would have
prevented this story of mine from being
told to my present select audience-the
girl was angry, and she visited all her
resentment upon the child who had in
nocently overthrown her ambitious air.

FOrtifcations For an English Port.

The British war department has made
arrangements for having the works in
connection with the Notifications at
Chatham considerably advanced during
the current year. The chain of forts
which for some years past have been
under construction in the vicinity of
Medway are intended for the defense of
the dockyard and naval arsenal and the
military depots at Chatham and also of
the approaches to London. The expend-
iture has already reached a total of
many thousands of pounds, and it is es-
timated that a further outlay of between
100000 and $150.000 will be necessary
before the works are complete. Of this
sum it is expected that $4,000 will be
expended during the coming year-SS45,
900 on the eastern defenses and $25, ,O0O
on Darland fort. In both of these cases
there has been large increase in the
amount of the original estimates.
It was anticipated that the works in
connection with the eastern defenses
would cost $3.50, 900, but owing to the
substitution of civil for convict labor
that sum has been raised to $3.50, 600.
The original estimate for the construc-
ton of Darland fort-$60, ,000-was also
found insufficient, but up to the present
time the actual expenditure on this par
ticular fort has been only about SIC, 900.
When the system Of fortifcation is COM
plete, Chatham will be we'll nigh invul-
nerable both by land and water.-Ex-

ATTENTION.
castles. have thus represented to you,
Mrs. Maynard, the peculiar attitude of
this person toward Annie Dupont, that
you may the more readily perceive
motive for the line of action that she
subsequently pursued.
'After a lapse of several years, spent
very happily abroad, the lady's health
began to fail seriously, and she was
warned by her attending physician that
the insidious disease which had been de-
veloping for months, unsupported by
herself, might at any time prove fatal.
The dread of dying in a foreign land
and leaving Annie once more among
strangers, alone and unprotected, in
duced the lady to return at once to her
American home, beautiful little villa
on the Hudson, where for few months
her health seemed to be materially i'm
proved. Encouraged by this favorable
change, she decided to wait little
longer before making known to her
adopted daughter the secret of her true
parentage, seeming to shrink with an
instructive dread from making the dis
closure.
"Annie was now sixteen, and very
finely accomplished, having been since
the age Of five years under the care Of
governesses and tutors who had taken
great pride in fitting their pupil for the
social pos;tio that she was destined to
occupy. Anxious, however, that he1
daughters education should be as
broad and deep as possible, the lady de.
cided to give her the advantage of q
thorough collegiate training; and few
weeks after their return to America
found Annie Dupont at Vassar."
Mrs: Maynard's attention now ap.
peared to be wholly withdrawn from
Miss Hilary and concentrated upon
North's story. Her hands, clasped TO-
gether closely, lay motionless in her
lap; her eyes were fixed upon North's
face; she listened with almost breath
less attention to every word that he
spoke.
AS it Influenced by this change in her,
North's manner altered; it's lightness
vanished and his tones grew earnest
and sympathetic as he proceeded.
"For a few months all went WE'LL
Annie was happy in her college life,
winning friends and popularity, and
little dreaming of the blow that was
soon to fall suddenly upon her. When
at last, summoned by the telegram
which, like a thunderbolt from clear
sky, had startled her out of the routine
of her busy school life, she reached her
home on the Hudson, she was too late
to receive the loving farewell of the
one who had been her dearest earthly
friend. 81
''The end had come almost without
warning, but it seems that the lady had
felt presentiment of her impending
fate, and had sent for her lawyer in
order to make every provision for
Annics future. Unfortunately he was
absent from home and could not re-
spond to the summons in time to re-
ceive from her lips her last instructions.
The only person who was with the lady
at her death was the girl whom I have
already mentioned. This girl, who had
been with Annie and her mother during
all their long wanderings in Europe,
was the only one Of the present house
hold who knew the history of the
adopted child; it was she who received
the final directions Of her mistress con-
:cerning Annie's welfare. How these
instructions were treated, the sequel
will show.
