Louis soon started an aquarium in the
large stone basin in the garden back of
his fathers house. The water in this
basin came from a pure spring which
constantly bubbled into it. Here little
Louis studied the habits of his pet fishes,
or played with his rabbits nnder the shade
of the apricot trees in the orchard, or
strolled With his parents and his brother
through the little vineyard. Like most
Swiss boys, Louis, as we'll as August
learned to do many useful things with his
hands. He watched the visiting shoe
maker who came two or three times a
year to his fathers house, and after a
while he could make shoes for his sister
dolls. He knew something of tailoring,
too and from the travelling cooper he
learned how TO make q barrel that was
actually water tight.
When he was ten years of age little
Louis Agassiz was sent to bQarding-school
at Bienne, twenty miles away, and there
his brother soon joined him. Until this
time their mother and father had been
their only teachers, but they knew much
more than most boys of their age. They
were fond of school and cheerfully worked
the nine and ten hours required. When

hospitable house was always open to his

old, he wrote to his father, 81 am resolv-

His parents had intended Louis to be a
business man, and this letter which
shows such wonderful forethought of
boy of fourteen was written to persuade
his parents to let him continue his stu
dies. While at Bienne he studied faith
fully, and he made full and careful notes
of all his studies, especially natural his
tory and science. These note books some
times contained several hundred pages
and all written in neat, small hand,
though yellow with age, are still pre-
served by his descendants.
Their lack of money had made Louis
Agassizs parents think of starting their
talented son in business. But when he
was fifteen the boy himself begged so
hard for further opportunities for study,
and his teachers had so much to say
about his talents, that NJ. and Nine.
Agassiz decided to give Louis two years
more of school, sending him to Lausanne.

SAMUEL NORRIS V. EMILY DE HER
BLAY.
The Washington times., 1894-06-28

The letter was marked "private and conf
dential," and ran
Monsieur:
'.You are about to take step on which
your lifes happiness will depend. Pause. She
whom you love has not told you all she could
tell you If she would. She has been model,
and she has been more. Her relations with
Beaufoy would not bear too close n scrutiny,
and one who wishes you well bids you be-
ware"
Lemaitre dashed the remnant of his cigar
ette into the CRATE, ran his long fingers
through his hair, and paced the room with
eyebrows knit and lips set. His feelings were
momentarily overpowering, but recovering
himself suddenly, as from nightmare, he
crunched the letter in his hand.
Its lie; an infamous attempt to rob my
darling of her fair name; wretch, who ever
you are, you are no friend Of mine."
But stay! Who was the maligner of the
woman he loved? Would any one have writ
ten this II there had been no ground for ii?
Was the letter not the result Of stern sense
of duty? Yet again why did the writer not
give his name and bear the responsibility Of
the charge insinuated?
Absolute as his faith in her was. little
perhaps as his love for her would have been
shaken by the knowledge that she had not
been absolutely strong in face Of the tempta-
tions which no doubt confronted her in her
calling, Lemaitre yet realized to tho full the
nature of the accusation, and his emotions
were alternately those OF dread that it might
be true and Of belief that 1t could not be.
What should he do9 The best thing was
surely to seek her out and to lay the accusing
missive before her. He would be guided by
what she said and did. The affair was too
serious to permit Of any undue delicacy, and
for both their sakes it was as well to settle it
forthwith.
II was glorious morning, and be found her

81 do not
"That is lie number one" was the angry re-
joinder. You wrote 1t. And now do you
adhere to what'it says?"
The question was adroit, but Beauioy was
not to be caught thus.
''What does it say2" he asked.
"Read it, II you forget what you wrote"
Beaufoy quailed before the imperious man
ner of the woman he had made the principal
figure in more than one stirring and impress
sive scene, but in hfa most inspired hour it Is
safe to say he never extracted from the hand
some face all tho passionate possibilities it
contained.
Lemaitre stood silently by, and II for one
moment he had doubted the honor Of Marie
de Mantot he could not do SO now. He noted
with deep thankfulness the confidence which
the consciousness Of innocence gave her.
The artists reply was to hand her back the
letter. The action was GOODNESS itself, and
might have disconnected a weaker heart than
Marie's.
"well," she said, "does it speak truth, or
does it lie?"
Beaufoy shrugged his shoulders, but made
no answer, and Lemaitre saw that he was not
prepared to avow its falsity.
Marie advanced one step nearer to the
artist, and with clenched fists demanded his
answer. yea or nay.
Il would sooner say nothing" he pleaded;
''why compel me to speak?"
Then you do not deny it2 I demand that
you say it is either true or false.''
He looked at her contemptuously
"You are mad" he said, ito expect me,
whom you cast aside, to protect you in this
way. You can answer that question as well
as 1. am surprised you expect me to help
you"
II expect nothing Of you but wrong" she
answered. .and here ia my answer to your
cowardly charge"
