In almost every case of cholera in Homo
lulu the disease has been traced to the
use of poisonous fish. This is the report
brought by the latest steamer from the
islands; which also says that neither Jap
.,nese nor Chinese have been attacked by
1t. If this is the.case, the disease is prob
ably not cholera at all. There are many
poisonous species Of fish in the Pacific,
and some species have the unpleasant
regularity Of being poisonous at some
times and not at others. If the news
brought by the Rio JAneiro is correct,
the epidemic is moro probably causd by
these than by cholera, and need not.ex-
cite alarm.

this order. "The flag" exclaimed the

the loss Of life in this instance was much

the treason he does not respond to the

When one is approaching Monhegan
from White Head, and distant some 10
miles, he is the subject of singular opti-
cal delusion. The island of Manana, to
which one can almost fling stone from
Monhegan, appears to be at least three or
four miles from the larger island. The
lower land next the shore, falls below the
horizon at that distance perhaps, but this
does account or the great space that
plainly appears to separate the two
islands, the bold outlines OF which are

tered since he was we'll and was alive,
since ne had NJ. Etienne and Jean;
since, above all he had his mother.
His mother, not yet in her forteth
year, was still beautiful, her hair black
as the ravens wing, her dark clear
skin as smooth as girls, her eyes
glowing as the midnight stars. her
smile heartwarming. AS she stood in
the warm light, for Olympic had candles
in every sconce, wearing that pale
primrose satin of more than twenty
years ago, covered now with black
lace of a far greater age, almost
wrapped in the glow of the BeauX-
lieuX diamonds, as in cloud of bright
ness, preserving all the sweet and
stately grace of her first youth, she
was still u sight to make mans heart
tremble. She seemed to beam and
sparkle as she walked, her every move
ment shedding a stream Of light; and
Jean himself did not find it possible to
envy her in his heart that night the
possession of the diamonds, that they
might be sold and their price given to
the poor. AS for her, it would as soon
have occurred to her to sell herself as
those stones. which were part of>the
insignia of the family magnificence.
She put off the air of gentle melan-
choly which she usually Wore, but
which was a remnant of old manner
rather than an indication of present
feeling, and made them gay with her
gayety. She talked with Jean of
BeauXlieuX, her son, and his future,
with NJ. Etienne of his great cases.
with Pierre of his hopes-Pierre had
had year in Paris now. She danced
with IBeauXlieux to tunes of the music
box. She even danced down the long
room with NJ. Etienne, once, but no
more, sort of shiver making her fall
on the cushsions of the bench in the big
window there, and she closed the even
ing by singing at the piano, which
Jean kept in tune, a little chanson,
that was as proper to her voice as fra
GRANGE is to the rose. When she en-
braced her son, and bade them all
goodnight, and swept through the
door that NJ. Etienne held open for
her, they felt as if after all in her
grace and majesty there were the
traits of divine right to power, that
something like a superior being had
been with them.
And later, as she sat under Olympe's
hands, the pretty Victorine taking the
jewels as they were unclasped, the
duchess thought, with a sort of sacred
joy. Of the time when she should give
these jewels to BeauxleuX' wife-an
Orleans princess. it might be; who
knew? That family had the wealth re-
quired, but the Saraznes BeauXlieuX
name and blood was the older and the
nobler. And she smiled unconsciously
and sweetly on the girl whose forward
ness had of late needed repression, and
had made the duchess doubt her wis

CHAPTER ".

BeauXlieuX was walking late that
night on the stone terrace flooded with
moonlight. on one side the sea, not
far away, swelled like the curve f
some silver shield and cast it's own
luster back upon the sky and filed the
night with the soft music of its mur-
mur. on the other side he saw the
old chateau, covered with vines, full of
deep-set shadows.
"VoyeZ vous pendre au flame dc la colline
Ces murs, ces tours, cette waste ruine"'
he repeated as he walked.
AUX temps passes une bruyante cour
Retentissait douce ce muet sejour,
ii fut pouple de heroes ct de bellies,
ii ontendt aux mobiles demoiselles.
Les chevaliers chanter des lois d'amour." :"
And just then he saw two shadows
hurrying down the arcade of the long
disused chapel cloister dlsused, since,
when she had reorganlzed her house
hold on the basis of comparat tive pow
erty, the duchess had suffered the
abbe to go, accepting in his stead the
office of the village priest. "Ah,
WE'LL" Beauxlieux said, a gentle smile
following the shadows, "the love of the
noble demoiselle and the chevalier. Is
no better worth than the love of
Pierre and Victorine. And this may
help to strike the balance with all that
other, the loves, the luxury of that
bruyante cour. Can 1t take less than
the life time of centuries of Beaux-
lieux to restore to the people all Of
which that bruyante cour, and such as
that, has robbed them?'
For he had already another point of
view than that of Ihis mother, who, be-
liewefng Ut the duty of mobiles to hold
their people in charge and provide for
their happiness, was confident that the
Beauxlieux could never have done 9TH
erwlse. And he went back to his
thoughts, which were now fun of
somber feeling and now Of Joyous hope.
While at his studies In Paris Beaux-
lieux had penetrated the hidden side
of life: he had seen sights that made
him shudder again as he spoke of luhem
to Jean. And I'm recalling these Jour
neys with M. Dtienne as far as the
Caucasus, he forgot the palaces, the

CHAPTER III--CONTINUED.

The days We're long to the duchess
while her son and the monsieur We're
away. She busted herself and Victor
inc at their embroidery, at their books.
She walked beside the sea in the latter
part of the day, a slight, swift figure
wrapped in long cloak, looking over
the gray and melancholy waste, rest
less herself as those dreamy waters
'were-longing for her boy, distrusting
and fearing the future, yet soothed
when she thought of the strong arm of
NJ. Etienne. on which. whether near or
far, she leaned. In the evening Pierre
tinkered at the barrel of the music
box, having a knack of tinkering, or
perhaps Jean read to them by the fire
light which illuminated the dark salon,
he lying on the skin beside the hearth,
whose logs he and Pierre had helped to
