the white hand OF his companion.

The lieutenant replied to this provocation
BY a burst OF laughter.
"Oniy soc. aunt" he exclaimed, pointing to
the purple countenanee of his adversary.
''Sir. you insult me-"
''See for yourself" and the oficer drew out

Ridiculous, It was In vain to pose as q
philosopher. stoic or even a scholar. There
are words that cause ones self love TO furl
its sails, even the self love Of a petit abbe.
With terrible look he overwhelmed this au-
dacious young person who had shown so little
respect to his eloquence. That look was his
destruction. II all women were monsters. as
Father Damase had pretended, then Solahge
d'Estournel was assuredly one OF the pret-
tiest monsters one could meet.
Besides, sir, your frankness releases me-

the convent, but for one Of my cousins, who

An. that was another matter The chevalier
scowied. He had no intention OF serving an
other persons interest. Gould it be that
young officer who had forced his presence
upon them few moments before? Perhaps.
"My compliments" he said in an offended
tone. Really, the handsome lieutenant was
to be congratulated. Queer ideas chased each

The Beauty Sp0t.

nile. Soange d'Estournel had passed her
sixteenth year; the Chevalier sylvanire de
Bassompierre his eighteenth. Here eyes
were bright. Her complexion had the white
ness of the lily, blended with the pink OF the
rose Little tendrils of blond hair played
about her forehead like swarm OF butter
flies. Her manner was triale petulant. His
eyes looked down; his expression was solemn;
the Il nix of his cheeks colored to carnation
ard purple at the lightest jest.
She had just finished her studies at the
Ahtaye-Gux-Bois. She knew enough OF his
tory not 10 ask II the then reigning king,
Louis WI. were the son OF his predecessor,
Louis Av; enough OF geography not to place

He. destined at first for the priesthood. was
lust iresn iron the college of the Jesuits, his
hea mn'.dled with scholasticsm and crammed
witb theology. Commenting on the fathers
OF the church digging into Ecclesiastes, he
wa IDS asi5le TO every other pleasure. In
IA t. IT, was awkward, timid, embarrassed, as
li;it an expert in the art OF music as be was
IL Tie art OF t.ancipg.
The grandparents had decided to unite this
yonns couple, and the old marquis was Sc
yrrely ssolting his offspring for the lack of
hrdor he manifested in fulfilling his wishes.
.seinenber. sir, that by the death of your
elder brother the preservation OF our race de-

cassock seemed to the young neophyte the
emblem Of all the virtues? No, never, never,
never!
.Leaye me. Jasmin. Ishall finish my toilet
myself"
Left alone, he threw glance that betrayed
something OF regret upon the heliotrope coat,
with its silver embroideries. 1t might have
been tempting. Itmight have been irresisti-
BILE. But resisting the temptations of the evil
one he pondered over u plan that had germi-
mated in his brain under the skillfully manipu-
lated comb OF Jasmin-a plan that would have
greatly reioiced his ;pious director and ex-
ceedingly disgusted the author Of his being.
"This young woman, whom they are deter
mined to make me marry. must have some
Christian feeling, since she has just left the
convent II l could succeed in persuading
her TO return there by pralsing the charms Of
q monastic life should thus retain a lamb in
the Lords fold, and should regain my indie
pendence and be able to follow my own way
freely.'
he prepared discourse full of eloquence
But deliver it dressed in heliotrope coat!
She would laugh at sermon and sermonizer.
No, for this solemn occasion decent but
from his wardrobe an appropriate suit OF i'm
maculpte black, a noble setting for his lace
frill aid handsome powdered head.
His toilet finished, he was troubled with
some doubt as to whether his appearance
was too imposing. He did not wish to
frighten that young soul. He cast a furtive
glance in his mirror. No; there was surely
nothing to fear from the somber parsonage
reflected in his dressing glass. However,
there were many expressions Of surprise
when he made his entrance into the drawing
room.
'.He IL NOT bridegroom. He is petit
xbbe," whispered the Dowager d'Estournel
into the ear Of the marquis.

young girl. the chevalier attempted to COM
menco his discourse; but whether it was the
excitement of the ball or the music Of the
orchestra still ringing in his ears he could
not find the words to preface his thoughts.
"Barbaric kindred-delying their holy
calling" He spoke in the plural as a tenta-
tivs. The Lord alone Is worthy OF such an
angelic spouse. who-that"--
He essayed to warm himself up to the occa-
sion, to pick up the lost thread Of his Grafton,
but he found himself moro and more en-
tangled-hypnotized by little black velvet
beauty spot coquettishly placed SO as to pro
duce the most delightful effect on the glowing
cheek OF Mile. Solange. 1t seemed to mock
the Disconnected orator.
"Other duties called them. In new life
she would grow in grace, in virtue, in holi-
ness. Her piety, her mind, her matchless
mildness would be admired by ALL"
She looked at him. astonished, tapping with
her little foot in quick, nervous motions, Bit
ing her rosy lips, while the little black beauty
spot continued its mischief.
''The church would not lose a servant.
Philosophy would not be widowed by his
genius, which-that"-
The poor wretch was utterly at q loss what
to say when burst Of laughter interrupted
him. Solange laughed and laughed-every
dimple in her face laughed. Even the little
black beauty spot was seized with sudden
mirthfulness. II frisked about in convulsive
merriment Blushing, disconnected, his arms
swinging. his mouth gaping, he waited for
this hilarity to pass.
"Mademoiselle," he stammered.
II beg your pardon, sir, but 1t is too ludi-
croua." And she pressed her handkerchief to
her month to stop another burst Of mirth.
"Mademoiselle. do not like to be laughed
at."
.sThen, sir, DO not be 70 ridiculous" shs 70

vAwoouvRR, B. c., juno 1s-The Empress Of
Japan arrived here last evening from the
Orient. News is brought by the Empress Of
Japan Of the alarming spread Of the virulent
plague that first appeared IN Canton at the end
Of April Tho plague is similar to the great
plague In London in the sixteenth century. and
is carrying on large numbers Of victims 1t
soon spread to Hong Kong, appearing there
In May. It Ii chiefly confined to Chinese. The
plague has paralyzed business to Q large ex-
tent, as the leading steamship lines refuse TO
take either passengers or cargo from Hong
Kong. The symptoms Of the disease are a. fol-
lows:
Without premonitory warning there is q sud
don fever, rising to los degrees or over There
il much headache accompanied by stupor In
twelve or twenty.four hours a glandular SWELL
Ing occurs in the neck or armpit, increasing to
the size Of a fowls egg, being hard and tender.
With or without the decline of fever the patient
sinks into condition of coma and dies at the
end Of "a or IS hours. II six days ID reached
without death recovery is possible.
The Canton correspondent Of Hong Kong
paper, under date Of May 8, says:
Scarcely a house has not some one dead. The
plague commenced in the Mohammed quarter
and 100 are reported dead daily. One man sta
toned at the west gate began at v O'Clock IN the
morning to drop cash" into box each time
comm passed. A. p m. he had 40 cash Children
werc put in baskets or were wrapped in pieces
Of mating and buried. From this district,
where the dirt Is worst and houses most crowded,
II spread to the country. and thespeople who Ned
there from the city have nowhere to go. Idols
are being worshipped in an extravagapt and
frenzied manner The past few months people
are forbidden to reckon and the new year was

tain tho number Of deaths. Onicials try TO sup
