the gallows Jacques spoke off,
Then Pantin and 1 started off on our
search for nicholson dor.
As he closed the entrance door be-
hind him carefully and Jacques turned
the key, looked up and down the rue
des Deux Mondes, but there was not a
soul stirring.
All Paris was asleep. Above us the
sky still swarmed with stars, though
a pale band of light was girdling the
horizon. Here and there in the heav-
ing mist on the river we saw the feeble
glimmer of lantern that had survived
through the night and still served to
mark the spot where a boat was
moored. All around us the outlines of
the city rose in brown silhouette, but
the golden cross on the spire of Notre
Dame had already caught the dawn,
and blazed like a beacon against the
gray of the sky overhead.
We pushed on briskly, and by the
time we had reached St. Jacques we
were warm enough, despite the chilli
ness of the morning. At stall near
the church, and hard by the Pont Notre
Dance Pantin purchased quantity of
vegetables, bidding me to keep little
ahead of him in future, and guide him
in this manner as far as l knew. Whilst
he was filling his basket turned up
rue ST. Martin, wondering what the
noatry's object could be in transform
ing himself into a street hawker. 1
went slowly, stopping every now and
again to see if Pantin was following,
and observed that he kept on the side
of the road opposite to me, and ever
and again kept calling out his wares
in a monotonous sing-song tone. Thus
far, and for space further, I knew
the road, and observing that .Pantin
was able to keep me we'll in view, in
creased my pace, until at last we came
to the cross street near which 1 had met
the jealous Mangel and his wife. Up
the cross street I turned without hest
tation, now almost facing the tall spire
that had been my landmark, and I be-
gan to think would be able to trace
my way to the Toison dor without
difficulty when I suddenly came to a
standstill and faltered, for there were
half dozen lanes that ran this way
and that, and for the life of me could
not tell which was the one had taken
but few hours before, so different
did they look now to what they had
appeared by moonlight. AS I halted in
a doubling manner, Pantin hurried up,
and, there being one or two near me,
began to urge: me to buy his cabbages.

I nodded, and bidding him begone

moment I caught sight of Pantin.
There is another crown to drink to
our friendship, and, mind you, keep
as good flask for me against my re-
turn at noon. Au revoir. have bust
ness at my lodging"
The wretch overwhelmed me with
thanks and stood at the door watching
me as I crossed over the street with
warning glance to Pantin, and strolled
slowly onward. A little further on I
turned to my left, keeping well in the
middle of the road to avoid the filth and
refuse thrown carelessly on each side,
and as I turned saw that my man had
gone i'm. I was certain of one thing,
that the Toison dor was not far of,
and whilst I picked my way slowly
along, Pantin came up to me with his
sing-song whine.
''Have you found it?" asked.
NO. he sang out.
At this moment figure rose up from
the steps of house, where had no.

and tossed him piece of silver.
He picked it up from the road where
it had fallen, like dog snatching at a
bone, and then stood surveying the
coin which he held in the open palm of
his hand.
"You might" he said, "they
wouldn't serve me-" and then with
drunken familiarity he came close to
my elbow. 'I'll show you the Toison
dor. It is there-the second turn to

ed with the spiteful insistence of man
in his cups.
THE fool in his folly speaketh wis
DOM" Pantin muttered under his
breath, and then the man, staggering
from me, attempted to go back whence
he had been flung. But either the
morning air was too strong for him, or
else he was taken with seizure of some
kind, for ere he had gone ten PAGES he
fell forward on his face and lay there
in the slime of the street.
At any other time I would have
stopped to assist the man, but now I
could only look upon his condition as
a direct interposition of Providence,
and 1 let him lay where he had fallen.
"Come, Pantin," I cried, eve have
found the spot"
Following the direction given by our
guide, we found he had not deceived us,
and in few minutes I was standing at
the entrance of the blind passage at
one end of which was the Toison dor.

COMMONwPALTH's POLICY

The diversion, or sport of fishing, is
engaged in by many persons; and the
policy of the commonwealth has been
to encourage the pastime. II we were
to hold the law to be as contended by
the commonwealth in this ease, we
should, as shown by the testimony. de-
stroy the very purpose of the common
wealth The construction we give to
the Act OF % May, 1889, will, i'm our
opinion. best effectuate the intention of
the legislature. And this is what we
are required to do; Com. VS. Fraim, 16
Pa. 1853. OF course, II the law prohibit
ed the use of landing nets, in game
fishing, in plain and unmistakable lam
guage, II would be our duty, and we
would not hesitate, so to hold. But we
think the fair and reasonable and Just
construction of the act OF assembly is
plainly TO the contrary.
The defendant has asked us to find a
number of facts and TO answer certain
requests OF law. our answer is that
the findings of fact and answers OF law
are fully covered by this opinion.
And now, November rs, 1899. for the
reasons above given, IL Is adjudged that
the conviction of the defendant and the
judgment against him be reversed, and
the proceedings i'm this case be SET
aside. BY the Court,

NAVAL ACADEMY.
Change in the Quarters of the Naval
Cadets Successful Candidates for
Admission-Cha in Orders
Of Officers-Monongah
k0 orr f0 Na-nOrt

W 10 " NSWPOibs
There will be a different arrangement
this year in the quarters OF the four class
es of naval cadets. due partially to the
improvements in progress. Ii is eusto-
mary for the fourth class, while forming
to occupy the gun deck of the Santee,
and there they learn the nomenclature of
the ship. The marine guard, in conse-
quence of the demolition of its querters,
is now on the Santee, and the Glouces-
ter is too small. so the fourth class was
sent to the upper quarters at once. The
greatest change is in the quarters of the
FIRST and second classes. The first class
will occupy in October the lower quarters
and the second class. that was usually
quartered in the lower quarters, will be
quartered in the upper quarters. This IS
very natural military arrangement.
The first is the senior class, and needs
less surveillance than any other of the
classes. and this the class will be assured
of in having separate quarters from the
rest OF the corps of cadets.
Forty-two OF seventy candidates for
admission TO the Naval Academy passed
their mental examinations. The physi-
cal has been severe in its results. and
quite 4 number have failed in the latter.
One had bad eyes. one was ruptured,
and one had an enlarged heart. All
have not yet finished their physical ex-
aminations. The alternate candidates
are yet TO have their examinations.
Recent orders issued by the Navy De-
partment affecting officers at the Naval
Academy are AS follows: Lieut.. f. J..
