madame gave me to understand that she
was well treated, and let my dear
know that there were those at work
there was a word or two besides on a
subject which concerned us two alone.
1t was in the midst of this part of our
converse that she drew back all at
once with a warning finger on her lips;
and though 1 waited again for full
hour, forgetting the watchers below in
the fresh fears that began to assail me,
I did not see her again. At the

street They in their turn went into
the house, and at last the road was clear.
I hesitated no further, and hurried
down the stairs.
Although 1 was not in frame of
mind to observe what was going on
around me, I soon became conscious
that one of those sudden fogs which
extend over the city at this period of
the year had arisen, as it were, out of
nothing, and in the course of few min
utes I was compelled to slacken pace
and pick my way slowly, and with the
greatest caution in regard to land
marks, for I could not risk losing my
way again. The fog was not a thick
one, but it was sufficient, united with
the coming evening, to almost blur out
the streets and houses, and make the
figures of passers-by loom out like large
and indistinct shadows. Carefully as
had tried to impress the way on my
memory, I hesitated more than once
as to the route I should take, and it
was with something like sigh of re-
lief that found myself at last behind

So many schools are studying M;llais'
beautiful picture, 1.-The Angelus," in
connection with the poem of. the same
name, that it is interesting to catch
3 glimpse now and then of the great
painter in some light that brings him
in closer touch with us, and here is a
bright little story that well illustrates
the fact that true greatness is often
unappreciated. One day, while Millais
was painting his famous picture, "Chill
October" among the reeds and rushes
on the banks of the river Tay, a man
came up behind him and stood looking
first at the picture, and then at the sur
rounding landscape. Finally he asked
in broad Scotch dialect: "Man, did We
never try photography mo, never"
replied Millais, painting slowly. A

SECRET LANGUAGE.
The JarHOn That Children Make Up
to Convey Their MOmentous Sc
crets Among Themselves.

The secret language period is thing
of child nature. There are three dis
tinct periods in language learning by
the child. The first is the acquiring OF
the mother tongue. The second period
comes shortly after the time of begin
ming to learn the mother tongue, and is
a language made up by children who,
perhaps, find themselves unable to mas
ter the mother tongue. Very few chill
dren have complete language of this
kind, but all children have few words
of such. Then comes the secret Ian
guage period. Although in very few
cases the learning of secret languages
began about the sixth year, and in some
instances the period ran till after the
eighteenth year, yet the vast majority
of cases are covered by the period be-
tween the eighth and the fifteenth year,
while the greatest use is between the
tenth and the thirteenth year.
There are many reasons why children
learn and use these languages. One
lady confesses that she originated a Ian
guage, and introduced it into a mys-
terious set of ten, in order to write
notes in school; and she truly adds that
had their teachers discovered the key,
they would have learned many truths.
1t can never be known whether these
languages originated in the very first
cases with children. The names would
IN many instances imply that children
had to do with them, as they show
things familiar to the child and loved
by him. So in the secret languages, we
find animals playing an important part
in the naming. The hog, dog, goose,
pigeon, pig, fly, cat and other animals
are attached to these languages. The
child in the oldfashioned school, where
all sat together, hearing the Ito him)
senseless and unknown Latin, would
naturally attach the name to his Ian
guage, and thus give birth to Hog Latin,
Goose Latin, etc. Seeing or hearing a
language, one letter may strike the
ohild's fancy, as in one the letter is
"hash," and SO Hash language is the
result. In another dub" (b) finds the
funny spot in child nature, and so Bub
talk comes forth. The child in former
days, SO frequently hearing of the alb
c's, would, upon the construction of an
alphabet language, at once recur to
such, and so name this the A-Bub-Cin-
Dud language.-Oscar Chrisman, in
Century.

PLAIN HENRI DE BOURBON.


In little began to cool and sought
my room, determined to occasionally
take turn to the turret and see if the
guard was gone, but not to harass my
self by watching them continually.
In about an hour or SO Iwearied

window again in the direction of mad

on the instant. Feeling sure that she
would look out once more, 1 leaned for
ward. Madame did as expected, and
could see the establishment on her face,
and hear her cry of joy. She tried to
converse with me by signals on her
fingers and for the first time had oc-
casion to bless what had up to now
considered foolish accomplishment

few shadows that flickered now and
then through the haze might give some
signal by which might recognize Pan
tin. It was in vain, and determined to
wait no longer set off at round pace,
when was suddenly arrested by hear
ing the rich tones of a voice singing:
Frere Jacques, <dormez-vous?
Dormez-vous, dormez vous?
The clear notes rang out through the
fog, bringing with them a hundred rec
objections of the time when I had last
heard the chorus. And the voice? That
was not to be mistaken. 1t was de

ment's hesitation I sang back the lines.

rection in which had heard the voice.
I had not gone so PAGES when saw two
tall shadows approaching me, and at
the same time heard the verse again.
"Lisois ?" called out.
1T is he," heard de Belin say.
Then the shadows stopped for mo-
ment, and another and slighter figure
joined them. Finally one came for
ward, and when within a yard or so of
me spoke:
"D'Auriac-is it you?"
"Yes-I was fastening to you. Man.

words he took me by the arm and led me
up to the two. In the shorter, there
was no difficulty in recognizing Pantin.

THE KAISER OBJECTED.
He Was Vigorously Opposed to Hav-
ing the Empress Use
Hair Dye.

The Great Young Man of Germany, as
they call the enterprising and pyro-
technic kaiser, while poking his i'm
perial finger into every art and every
science, still finds time, the court scan
dial mongers say, to pay strict atten-
| ton to the wardrobe and toilet of the
| empress. his wife.
The empress is but human, and when
she saw silver threads making their APP
pearance in her hair she most naturally
tried to defer the inevitable-and dyed,
it is said. Whether she put on too much,
or whatever the reason was, certain it
is, that one morning the poor empress
appeared at breakfast with stripes of
doubtful green among her tresses.
"You have put some rubbish on your
head, Augusta" cried Wilhelm, with
great frown. where's the bottle?"
The empress muttered few words
and went on with her breakfast, but the
ruler of minds and bodies got up, rum
mayed his wife's dressing-room, to the
distress of the maids, who were busy
putting things in order, and, observing
that one of them tried to conceal bot
in his pocket. Nothing more was said
on the subject to the empress, but the
perfumer in ordinary to their majesties
lost his exalted patron, and poor Au-
gusta's head remained harlequined for
a month.
The same fate befell later importa-
ton from Paris, and at last the en-
press. who detested a motley head as
much as the kaiser does hair dye, got
a new preparation to bleach her hair an
even color, and from that day the en-
press appeared completely white, and
even poudree. Her fancy now, in which,
however, she cannot always indulge, is
to wear pure white garments or pale
gray ones, which suit her well, and
make her look very picturesque. How
ever Wilhelm loves pink, blue and
green, and she must comply with his
wishes and order colored dresses.-N
