the Marquis, speaking in French, as he
did whenever he talked. The Marquise
and the younger Count speak English, but
the Marquis though understanding it,
does not venture to speak it. ga fine
harbor," said the younger man.
AS the uninteresting docks dritted by
with tantalizing slowness to those whose
friends were awaiting them, the Marquis
wondered at the lofty buildings rising in
terraces from the river The three men,
bers of the titled family made little
party in corner of the dining saloon
where they took their meals with Frank
Glenzler and Mile. Glenzler, a sister of the
Marquise de Choiceuil, who is on a visit
to her relatives in this city.
The Castellanes divided the attention
of the passengers with Nine. Rejane, the
actress, and NJ. Duquesne, her leading
man, who has the distinction of being
called the best living fac simile of Bona
parte. The Marquis has written several
books. A little coincidence marked the
appearance of the last one, entitled lie
Nouveau Temps (The New Temps, which
came out the day the author left for
America. He had some copies with him,
and with the authors pride over a new
work, passed them around among their
acquaintance on board. As the French
flag at the pier head came in sight, the
three looked eagerly al the distant faces
''We are all proud of our son., said the
Marquis, referring to the coming mar
riage. Proud and happy, very happy"
he added, with emphasis. The Marquise
said nothing, but strained her eyes to-
wards the groups that added bits OF color
to the wharf.
"Is it not he?' said the Marquis ad-
dressing his wife.

her eyes from the dock. The minute that
every one was wishing the young couple a
happy future the Marquis said: "It ought
to be SO; it ought to be SO. l believe that
the union of French and American blood
ought to give good results
"There is one mistake about our estates

said the Marquis. "They are placed at
Songeal instead of at st. Patrick S. Also |
see that the name of my son, who is to
marry is called the Count Jean. His
name is Count Boniface de Castellane. %"
The steamer was having her slip when
young mans slight form pushed its way
through the crowd at the gangplank en-
trance.
"Ah, he is there cried the Marquis
waving one hand frantically at the young
man. at is he.''
When the gangplank was let down and
the impatient parents reached the young
man, he greeted them both tenderly
shook his brother Jean by both hands,
and then introduced them to Raoul Duval,
who is to be one of the wedding party
and who had driven the Count in the
Gould carriage to the dock.
The formalities of examining the bag
gage annoyed the young Count Boniface.
Finally he made up his mind he had
waited long enough and so taking his
brother and mother under his protection,
he started through the line of customs Of
ficers which he got safely past. Unluckily
he had small satchel in his hand An
inspector spied and called to. him.
"It is nothing" said the Count.
"Well, let us see, said the officer.
Then the three were called back. The
Count at first was inclined to get angry
but finally treated it as joke. Then
they entered the carriage and were driven
to the residence of George Gould. 1t was
stated by customs officer that $2500 du-
ties was paid on their effects, which were
packed in fifteen trunks.
