(Condnued.)

Il believe you will get off with the
question ordinary" whispered BaITa-
bas, that is only four pots full"
ON arriving in the courtyard, Ca
nOlles found part of the garrison
waiting, under arms; then the officer
turned around, bowling, and drawing
his sword. At the same moment the
drums beat, and another file of sol
dlers approached; then the officer pre-
scented two keys to Candles.
What are sou doingT asked Ca
nolles.
Going through the usual ceremonial
etiquette"
For whom do you take meY asked
Candles, more and more astonished.
For ". lie Baron de Candles gov
ernor Of the island"
Candles grew dizzy.
Il only received this morning" con
unued the officer, "the letter announc-
ing Monsieur's arrival for today"
Barabbas stared at them both with
an expression of indescribable stupe-
factor.
Then, stammered Candles, Il am
governor hereT'
Yes, sir; and his Majesty's choice
is one that has made us all happy"
'You are sure that there is no mis-
takeY
"1r vow ~ n}rasc to follow me to
your apartments, you can see the
paDers"
Candles petrided at an event so
contrary to his anticipations, followed
the officers in silence amidst the
sound of drums and acclamations,
which he acknowledged mechanically,
looking pale and frightened. At last,
arrived in an elegant room, from the
windows of which he at once remark
ed that he could see the Chateau de
Cambs, he read the papers, signed by
the queen and NJ. d'Epernon. At the
sight he sank into a chair. At last,
looking around the room he saw a
Golfer with a paper attached to it,
He opened 1t, and read; For the pri-
vate use of the governor Of st.
George. Inside was a purse contain
ing one thousand pistoles"
"Corbleu" cried Candles "the queen
is too kind" And in spite of him
self he began to think of Buckingham,
and TO wonder whether the queen had
conceived a tender interest for him.
II must be remembered that Ca
nolles was a Gascon.

A story Is told Of a well known judge
who is noted for his fonducss for con
yeying to jurors in his charges TO
them his own opinions with regard to
the merits Of the case. In one case he
had done 50 with much plainness, but
to his amazement the jury remained
ont for hours without coming to an
agreement. The judge inquired Of the
officer what was the matter, and
learned from him that one juror was
holding out against the other eleven.
He sent for the jury at once, and,
stating to the jurors that he had
plainly intimated how the case ought
to be decided, said be understood the
one Juror was standing out against the
other eleven He proceeded to rebuke
the juror sharply Tie obstinate juror
was a nervous little man. and rs soon
as the judge was done he arose and

Claire was much annoyed. She had

Soon after, Candles called the officer
and begged him to show him over his
new domains. They visited the whole
place, and examined everything, re-
turning about eleven, when the officer
said mysteriously, "Now there only re-
