evening song to the Virgin, a young girls

twilight itself here among the hills, and
that the echo took and refined away to a
very voice of the air.
"Good!' said the duke. IF there are
briganlS where that voice IS my purse is
at then service. Come. Is there gate, a
door, poStern, to this enchanted castle?'
And suddenly a wild alarm of baying and
believing arose. drowning the singing voice,
and an old man stood in the gate, with his
hounds leaping about him. and looked at
the riders questioningly. Then, bidding the
dogs begone, he asked the strangers to
ride into the paved court. dismount and be
welcome.

you see, has gore lame. Can you give us
shelter for night, and perhaps put us in

"Take the brides, Ambroiser' And anoth-
err old man who followed him closed and
barred the gate and led away the horses.
while his master threw open the inner door
and bade his guests enter.

"All the world knows the distinguished

honors thrust upon him. And none would
greet him more eagerly there than his

with an offer of the hand that the old
baron could do no less than accept with as
stately an air as il was given.
But the inside of the tower attested the
truth of the dukes remark-the bare stone
floors, the scant remnant of ancient fur
nishing, the cid armor and the newer
swords that were the only ornaments on
the walls: and later, when they had rested

IAN enchanting voice, at all edds," said
the duke.
And at that moment the door opened. and
n young girl entered with candles in her

party welcome, and was indeed very glad
of their society in his loneliness, there was

the lame one gave symptoms of recovery.
The chevdlier rode on with their dispatches,
Ambrose going with him as far as the
safer highways and NJ. Etienne remaining
with the duke--the two spending portion
of every day hunting and adding great
store OF game 70 the barOnS larder.
There were those who were wont to say
that there was closer tie than appeared
even in the remarkable resemblance be

had commended the younger man to the
kind offices of his heir. Certainly no one

The question gave her pause. "The

CONCERNING SMILAX.
A Florists Expert Hints on the Treat.
mcMt of the Crecper.


From the New York Sun.
"Smilax," said the florist. lis just as
fashionable for decorating purposes now
as 1t was ten years ago. 1t is one of the
few small-leaved creepers that we have
and while it never attains the luXuriance
with US that it does in the tropics, its
lack of rank growth gives 1t just that
delicacy of appearance that makes it so
valuable and useful.
"a peculiar thing about smilax is that
Notwithstanding it's hardness and free
growth, 1T will not grow at all unless the
conditions are exactly right. Most people
kill it at the start by placing the vine right
in the sunniest window. AS matter of
fact, smilax, like ferns, requires a shady
place, though l do not mean by that a
dark, close corner. Another popularity of
the plant is that while it requires plenty
of air. it will die in draught. In a word
when you try to grow smilaX you must try
to reproduce the natural conditions under
which it grows as nearly as possible. and
tt ose are warmth, moisture and plenty of
quiet air. One of the best places for your
box Of smilax is at the side of sunny
window.
"Smilax will grow either from seeds or
bulbs, but I guess you will find the best
results and you will doubt get the
speediest results from bulbs. AS soon as
the sprouts appear start network of
threads to the box and carry the threads
wherever you want the plant to go-around
the window, across the window or festoon-
ed among the pictures. Don't give the
roots any water to speak of until the. leaves
appear, and then 1 was going to say, you
can hardly give them too much water.
Another mistake that most people make
about smilax Is that Of thinking the plant
is dead because the leaves turn yellow
That's the end Of one life, but not of the
plants life. When the leaves begin to
turn, water but very little, and when the
foliage is dead. take up the bulbs, pack
them away where it is dry and cool for a
couple of months or SO. and then they'll
be rested out sufficiently to begin raising
another family of foliage"

a goddess. At least so 1t seemed not only
to Jean and Pierre, who, according TO
Beauxl1euX's request, and on monsleurs ad-
vice, had been admitted to share the young
dukes studies, Pierres eyes opening as if
the riches of the earth suddenly blazed
upon him, but Jean feeling as If queen
of heaven We're no loveler or no more MT
tingly adorned, but to her son also, who
felt in her presence scarcely the need of
heaven, and to NJ Etienne, who never, by
so much glance, said what he felt.
CHAPTER III.
Life went on, then, at the chateau In a
still and peaceful manner, and, living only
like & Eentlewoman of most restricted
means, perhaps the duchess did not really
know how happy she was. Frequently NJ.
Etienne went away for brief while to
Bordeaux to London, to Paris and back,
sometimes to assist at an operation. some
times consultation. The poor duchess,
who had once only to express a wish and
it seemed as if the forces of nature fell IN
line to grant it, did not know that practi-
caly the greater part of the money spent
in the household was that brought nome
by NJ. Etienne and after those Joufheys-
NJ. Etienne, VINO could have commanded
fortunes had he not chosen rather to re-
main the protector of her and of her child.
Seldom anything broke the tranquil mo-
notony. once BeauXlieuX was nearly
drowned, and the joy of his revival was
''SSii
toration of power and wealth. once Jean
broke his leg, and the monsieur set 1t, ana
the duchess tended him, the little fair
haired fellow, with his appealing face, as
if he had been her own. and he loved them
as dog might love them, or rather as
slave who had still the memory of his
own tribe and cabins. AS for little Pierre,
nothing ever happened to him; he Kept
himself out of every trouble; he was al
ways brought in innocent from every
Scrape; you might suspect him, but you
could never bring the mischief home to
him. Victorne the half niece of Olympic,
who had been brought to the chateau at
the wish of madame when the childs pa
rents died, Perres able abettor; and
many time did Jean suffer in silence a
reprimand for the fault of those two imp
ish things. But Nictorine was very pretty
and little and tender, and if Pierre could
connect her with his misdemeanorS he
knew he was safe from betrayal from
BeauXlieux and from Jean. The duchess
liked to see Victorine's pretty youth ana
brightness about her, thinking of no pos
sibe consequences, and had her taught by
Olympic to rip and sew and dress hair; and
then, in the motherliness of her nature.
and because there were no daughters OF
neghboring siegneurs, as in old times, TO
be taught the fine arts of home, she would
have her an hour or two day with her

Winter Song.


When dark and cold are winter days,
And snow flakes hang on shrub and tree,
Alone from all the world apart,
Fond Memory comes to comfort me;
And, from the hearthstone Of my heart,
Shines forth the light Of poesy,
When dark and cold are winter days.
hear again the birds Of Spring
Sing loud their amorous roundelays;
The rills that tinkle DER sunny leas,
And under greening wildwood sprays;
l see young butterflies and bees
Bask in the light Of poesy,
And hear again the birds Of Spring.
The clouds roll of; the skies wax blue;
The 1epid West-wind softly blows;
The spice-wood buds breathe fine perfume;
And, heralding their queen, the rose,
Like rural maids The wild-fowers bloom,
While, in the light Of poesy,
The clouds roll off; the skies wax blue.
The snow-fakes turn to blossoms pink,
And like a robin carolling
To cham his mate. some morn OF May,
A tender little song 1 sing
For Dora, fair and pure they,
And bless the light of poesy,
While snow fakes turn to blossoms pink.

pose itself. For the sake of her fathers
love of the Corsican, as the duke phrased
it, she might herself have looked with
favor on the imperial order of things; but
it was enough that her husband, loyal to
his past, remained violent partisan or
the dethroned king, for her to shut her
self up in the superb seclusion from the
canaille of the new riches and power.
Ard perhaps by Strengthening his arrant
contempt for the new people, the duchess
herself, and all unwittingly, was in some
measure the means of assisting the duke
Into the obScurity to which he presently
found il best to retire.
There had been a grand occasion at the
opera, to which the empress had given the
exquisite charm and radiance OF her pres
ence. and the leaders among the women OF
the rcyalist party had urged the duke that
the duchess might appear and show that
woman as they always called her, that
queen of farce, what the grande dame
really was. And entirely ignorant of their
purpose. the duchess bad, of course, as
scented to her husbands wish.
They rallied round her that night in all
