That settled the matter.
The ''Squaller's" doom was sealed!
We laid our plans artfully. Two
days later, when Jane was wheeling
the ''S4ualler" up Gypsy Lane in the
perambulator flor wonder it was

She was walking along as if to-mor-

Jane gave one awful yelp, and
bolted before you could say Jack

When we could see for laughing,
Blathers snatched up the 'Squaller,"
and we both tore off to the cave as fast
as we could pelt. OF course, the little
brute woke up and began to squall,

We made it up a sort of bed with

to the house to hear the fun.

A MYSTERY OF THE AGES.
Counterfeit Maid of Orleans Foremost of
All Historic Impostors.


In the long array of historic impos-
tors the foremost place is due to the
false Pucelle. That false Pucelles
should arise indeed was not strange;
rather it would have been strange had
they not arisen. Through the middle
ages the common policy Of secretly
numbering political prisoners was al
ways logged by the nemesis of pre-
tenders. When one was put down an
other arose. These shadows played
their parts with varying success, but
not one of them had 50 hard E-5sfT9to'
play, nor one of them playedi IL with
such spirit and unparalleled success
as the false Pucelle.
Let us consider the difficulties which
attended her enterprise. She was
obliged to represent character unioue
in the history of the world, a maidon
warrior, whose face, whose WAYS and
noble manners" were intimatelv "a.

age of twelve. The impostor was wal.

charged beside her at Compiegne in
1890; the town of Orleans had enter
tanned the maid in 1870, yet both the
city and the brothers accepted the
shadow in 1896! The burning of the
true maid had been witnessed by tens
of thousands of people on May 80, 1431;
nevertheless the autumn of 1888 saw
the false maid accepted by the very
people who knew the true maid best.
Mysterious in her origin, the false
Pucelle evades us in her decline.
We lose sight of her forever in 1457.
1t is OILY certain that all domestic and
official belief in her must have expired
with the reversal of the Judgment of
The court of Rouen, by the in.iuisition,
in the previous year. The whole affair
is the most inscrutable of historical
romances, and is complicated by some
slight inaccuracies and confus;ons of
learned modern French historians. To
them and to their diligent researches
in archives we owe all our information,

errors not very difficult to avoid
M. Vignier says that Due de Gram
mont has been surprised by his main
tanning that Jeanne was not burned.
His authority for his skepticism is the
extract from the Metz Chronicle dis
covered by his brother, Pere Vignier,
and copied out for him by notary
royal, as early as March, 1915. This
famous extract may be abridged to the
following effect On May 20, 1896, la
Pucelle Jehanne arrived at La Grange
aux Ormes, near st. Privay. Thence
she was taken to see some noblemen
at Metz, set Sc faisoit appeler Claude"
That same day came two of the
maids brothers, Pierre du Lys,
knight, and Petit Jehan, an esquire.
They thought that their sister had
been burned, but as soon as they saw
this woman they recognized her, as
she did them. Presents of arms,
horses and jewels were conferred on
this false Pucelle, who passed into
Luxembourg, where she was enter
tanned at Arlon, by Nine. de Luxem-
bourg-Elizabeth Of Corlitz. Thence
the count of Warnonbourg (Wurtem-

much, and gave her very fair cuirass

A KIDNAPPING.
BY MARY L. RENDERED.

she did Ivanhoe and the Talisman
aren't so bad, but there's good deal too
much tommyrot about love, and all
that sort of thing, in them; besides
yards on yards of what they call scene
painting, or wcrd-painting, which is
perfectly sickening. Who wants to be
told that the sky is blue or the grass is
green? ! always skip all that, of
course; so does every body-with any
sense.
But that wasn't what l was going to
say. 1t was about lark we had once
with old Marston, the chap whose
school-house we board in - Blathers
and me-and fine spree it was, only
it was spoilt at the finish by-but I'll
tell you all about it, SOS you can see
for yourself
Marston's wasn't bad place to live
in at first He had just gone and got
married, and he was that treacly sweet
you couldn't get his hair up hardly
He and Mrs. Marston used to look at
each other fit to make cat laugh,
they were so spooney; and, SO long as
us fellows kept bit up to the mark
he never found fault. But all that was
before the "Squaller'' came, horrid
little brat of a baby that did nothing but
howl from morning till night. 1t must
have kept old Marston awake half the
night for he got so beastly waxy there
was no pleasing him. We all hated
that kid, and didn't we just pity Mrs.
Marston, with a crabby husband and a
constant screamer to mind! She wasn't
half bad sort, herself, and often took
US fellows parts when there were rue
tions; so she didn't deserve to be wor-
ried as she was.
Well, was going to tell you about
our cave-Blathers' and mine--and
that was what made me start about
Scott, because it was through reading
we went in for the cave. Blathers took
paper called The Boys Own Adven-
turer, and there was a splendid tale in
it, much better than anything Scott
ever wrote, about a chap who lived by
smuggling; and rare larks he had! We
often talked of running away and TAX
ing up the smuggling trade, which
must be a glorious life for a fellow
with any go in him, but we never could
save up enough money to pay our rail-
way fares to the sea. We were in the
midlands you see, and when we got
our screws there were always some
clls to pay up at the school tuck
shop. But one day Blathers said:
81 say. Jonesie, 1 don't see why we
shouldn't have a smuggler's cave here,
in a small way" and, when l asked
whereabouts, he pointed to the wood
pile that was in corner of the pad
dock leading out from Marston's gar
den. 1t was great heap of faggots
and clumps stored for firewood, | sup

some time to burrow it out and stow
the wood away, without anybody see
Ne d. and sneaking; but when it was
done it really make quite decent sort
of cave, and we Struggled no end of
things into it.
1t was great satisfaction to have a
place where we could go and smoke
when we liked, and we used to SNUG
gle tobacco and cigarettes whenever
we got half a chance. The cave had
quite store of tobacco in it at last.
We never told a soul, though we
wanted to take rise out of some of
the other chaps over it; but it wouldn t
have done.
One day Blathers said

some sort of physical and men
tai stage that the doctors fail
to write about. When it comes
right to the threshold death is
not much of an affair after all,
but the class who are con-
demned to execution does not
include many men capable OF
entertaining this calm view of
existence. Then it is clear that
the sensebilities of these crimi-
nails are largely suspended.
Even Charles Miller, the "boy
murderer" event bravely to
his death" at the age of l6.
When Is he had killed two
young men. Miller had an
almost mature mind, but that
it was anything like normal as
he walked to his fate with
out wavering, is absurd to
suppose. OF two other cases
that came under the observa-
ton of the writer the central
figures were full grown men.
They walked to the scaffold
coolly, Snow was falling when
one of them looked around for
the last time. He smiled and
cheerfully babe goodbye to a
number of acquaintance. This
was in a small western town.
After the man was dead they
laid him out on bench in the
Jail corridor. The sports of the
town filed past this bier and
touched the hands "for luck.
His hands were pulled and blue
and so was his face and there
was red streak around his
neck.
In spite of the cholera scare
and the consequent business
depression, (Which by the way
we consider all nonsense, we
should not be alarmed at this
little outbreak, but brace up, y
we sold a bicycle on Saturday
and have had number of calls
and inquiries for our Monarch
and Tribune wheels. Riding
in the open air on a wheel is
an invigorating and healthful
exercise, and a great preventa-
tive of diseases. Our wheels
have taken a firm hold upon
the people of the islands, and
it is the popular and common
thing to ask man on a wheel
as this Monarch or Tribune,
don't you like them, are they
not the best wheels 2" This
popularity must mean that
these bicycles are superior in
quality and price to other
makes and hence people talk
about what they know to be
the best.
The Honolulu Fire Depart
ment has been furnished with
the celebrated ball nozzle to
fight fires, and the chief of the
department speaks very highly
of it. The spray from these
MOBILES is uniform in all direc-
tions and distributes the water
evenly, and when used at a fire
they make such spread of
moisture as to leave no place
for combustion. When used
as lawn sprinklers their supe-
riority is at once noticed, as
the grass is wetted so evenly
as to make the use of the ball
nozzle the nearest approach to
rain that has yet been invent
ed. We have a number on
hand and so that all may have
