When the democrats of the United
States demanded free coinage at sixteen
to one after the Rothschilds had de-
clared against it, they demanded the
right to carry on a republican form Of
government through democratic meth

demand for free coinage would be sur
render to the London syndicate, not OF
that one point only, but of everything.

Iiceman pacing his beat scowied sus.
piciously at the foreigner lingering be-
fore the fashionable shop. Jules heaved
a sigh and pinched his arm again and,
as he did so, the glitter of a diamond
on the little finger of his right hand
caught his eye. Then it was real! It
must be real, for never had he owned
or worn ring before. Passionately
kissing his hand to the motionless fig
ure in the window and muttering in
coherent words of love, he turned at
the officers gruf command to move
on, and wandered unsteadily toward his
home.
When Jules Lemaitre awoke late the
next morning, he found himself pos
sessed of both an aching head and an
Unsuitable thirst. One by one the events
of the night came back to him; the
bachelor dinner; the stories which his
friends had told; the many toasts they
drank, among them his own, to a
mysterious Annette

happened flashed over him; he trem-
bled and closed his eyes, lest he might
wake and find it all dream. Then,
suddenly came to him a remembrance
of the ring-and yet he dared not look
TO see if it really were there. Slowly,
with his left hand he clasped his right;
slowly felt downward-downwa to-
ward his little fnger-and then he ut
tered a wild cry and sat upright, for
there, sparkling in the sunlight which
fell across the bed, he felt and saw

she stood in her accustomed place. Her
smile was just a. sweet, as from be-

down on Jules, but not by so much as a
CULVER of an eyeIid did she show sign
of life. With brain whirling in confu-
sion and distress, the little Frenchman
beIook himself to the restaurant, width
or he had taken her few short hours
before; but no one recognized him
there nor understood the timid ques
tions that he asked. Heavy-hearted
he retreated to a small cafe, and sat
before a table gazing, oblivious Of time,
upon the diamond ring, his breakfast
untasted and the Courier des E'tats
Unis" unread before him.

THE STORY OF
JULES LEMAITRE
By JOHN w. CARY, JR.

I WISH that 1 could tell the story in
the words of Jules Lemaitre himself,
as. one evening, over our cigars and
cafe noir at his favorite table d'hote
near Blocker street, with much GEES
ticulation and sparkle in his bright.
black eyes, he related it to me. But
his broken English would be hard to
understand by one unacquainted with
it. and without some knowledge of his
little idiosyncracies and high pitched
ideas Of truth and honor, his queer ad-
venture would be neither appreciated
nor believed.

FTeEchman, as he stood before the
plate glass window of a fashionable
modiste's shop on Twenty-tEird street
and slightly, very slightly, raised his

old aunt, who had given him his educa-

the most constant attendance and de-

Iightful books of romance which he
bought while on his way to and from
the Polytechnic. and devoured with
glowing Imagination in his small cham

Based on the highly colored descrip-

had created for himself an ideal-a

would search the world over. until some
day he should meet with her and win
her for his own.

secluded life he led, for him to meet
with any girl; but one day, before he
had quite reached his eighteenth year;
