CHAPTER XVII.

MAITRE PANTIN SELLS CABBAGES.
At last, just as my patience was worn
to its last shred, | saw the glaze in the
window begin to whiten, and almost
Immediately after heard footsteps on
the landing. This was enough for me,
and unable 10 be still longer, | sprang
out of bed and hastened to open the
door myself 1t admitted Jacques, and
a figure in whom | should never have
recognized the notary had | not known
that it could be no other than Pantin.
Jacques bore a tray loaded with re
frpshments and Pantin held lantern,
for it was still dark, in one hand, and
something that looked like the folds of
long cloak hung in the loop Of his
arm. The noise of their entrance woke
de Belin. With a muttered exclamation
| did not catch he aroused himself, and
the candles being lit we proceeded to
make a hasty toilet. AS | drew on my
boots | saw they were yet wet and
muddy, and was about to rate Jacques
when Pantin anticipated: Il told him
to let them be so, monsieur-you have
part to play-put this over your left
eye" And with these words he handed
me a huge patch. Then in place of my
own hat, / found had to wear a frayed
cap of dark sage-green velvet with
scarecrow looking white feather stick
ing from it. Lastly, Pantin flung over
my shoulders a long cloak of the same
color as the cap, and seemingly as old.
1t fell almost down to my heels and was
fastened at the throat by a pair of
leather straps in lieu of a clasp.
"Faith!" exclaimed the viscompte, as
he stood little to one side and sur
veyed me, ''if you play up to your dress
you are more likely to adorn than raise
the gallows Jacques spoke Of"
Then Pantin and | started off on cur
search for the Toison dor.
As he closed the entrance door be-
hind him carefully and Jacques turned
the key, l 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 a 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
Dame, Pantin purchased quantity of
vegetables, bidding me to keep little
ahead of him in future, and guide him
in this manner as far as | 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.

again TO see if Pantin was following,

1t was in one of the large downtown res

her tall husband went to dinner one night.
"Will you have oysters" asked the man,
glancing over the bill Of fare.
Yes" said the short little woman, as she
tried in vain to touch her toes to the floor.
"And, John, / want hassock."
John nodded and, as he handed his order

the waiter did not go, but brushed the table

many in our generation had ever heard
of him? Somebody the other day called
attention to the fact that Philip James
Bailey, author of the brilliant, If er-
ratio, "Festus" G830), is still living.
This was a surprise to the supert1uous
veterans who had read the book and re-

their time larger figures than most of
our living poets. So perishable and

Does Not Complain. Of His South Al.
lantic Station Assignment.
Washington. Sept. 1S.-Rear Ad-
miral Winfield Scott Schley will sue
coed Rear Admiral Howison In COM
mand of the South Atlantic station.
He has no protest to make against the
assignment which the navy department
selected for him. He called upon the
president yesterday afternoon and told
him that he had no complaint to make;
that he would cheerfully assume the
duties Of any post selected by the au-
thority which it had been his pride
to serve for 43 years. Rear. Admiral
Schley was very reticent when he left
the White House after his Interview
with the president, and except to say
that he always obeyed orders would
make no statement as to the interview
and offer no comment upon the assign
ment to the command of the South
Atlantic station To Rear Admiral
Schley's friends who called to protest
against the assignment the president
said that he regards the station as of
great importance, especially ut this
time, in view of the situation in South
Africa and the unsettled condition of
affairs in some of the South Ameri-
can countries. Far from regarding the
assignment is a slight, the president
told Admiral Schley's friends he re-
garded it as a mark of distinction.
Besides, he said. it was the only way
to crafty the admiral's desire for sea
service. .-s q.
The BIZ apsas which was Admiral
Schley's tiaA-<<S off Santiago, may be
assigned to the South Atlantic station
and again become the admiral's flag
ship, in place of the Chicago.

Troopswsse Ready to Attsclx the h.
r. SieRed Anti.semite Agitator.
Paris, Sept. 20.--Shortly before mid
night Lucien Millev0ye. one Of the
deputies for the department OF the
Seine, accompanied by the brother Of
Jules Guerin, the anti-Semite agitator,
entered the Grand Occident, the build
ing in the Rue de Chabrol where M.
Guerin and his companions have long
been besieged. When they emerged,
at 1896 this morning. it was announc-
ed that M. Guerin h;I promised to sur
render at O'Clock This morning.
Precisely at the hour appointed
captain Of the municipal guards rap
ped at the door of Fort Chabrol. There
was moment of expectation, a: d then
the door opened. M. Guerin calmly
presented himself, meekly surrendered
and was driven to the police depot in
an open cab. seated beside the cap
tain of the guards. His companions
were allowed to 60 free. Thus the
six weeks siege ended in sublimely
ridiculous style.
The night was well chosen by the
government, as the excitement over
the capture of the fort would newt
ably divert attention from the pardon
extended to Dreyfus. The plan was
to attack the building and arrest M.
Guerin and his band The govern
ment had given him until 4 o'clock
this morning TO surrender, and had
regular army to assault the fort If he
refused. Troops, municipal guards,
mounted and on foot, and policemen
to the number of nearly 1000 were on
hand to enforce the governments de-
mand. One would imagine that gen.
eral assault upon fortified camp was
about to take place.

"If some people believe that the mass

Asked whether he thought Roosevelt

Il cannot express any definite opin-
ion now, but Mckinley and Hobart
are the logical candidates."

ton of relinquishing the chairman
