'1neSe UrtlcteS are OF great importance
to me-" he S0id.
short time" She laughed gleefully
as she spoke. She turned to a closet
at one end Of the room to bring the
required garments.
"First, let me examine the closet"
said Buckford.
He convinced himself that there was
| no hidden exit.
In leaving his chair and going to the
door Of the closet he missed witness
ing peculiar, indescribable smile that
| played for the moment on the face Of
Nine. du Barry.
In Nine. du Barry's mind there were
flashing thoughts almost as rapidly as
had been the case with Buckford's.
She had at no time doubted that he
was an agent of police. She lived day
and night in dread of these prosecutors
| of her kind. She did not doubt his
| story that he had searched her house
and found the prisoner gone.
But she did doubt his story that
Vandal was intending to desert her.
She had been VandaPs friend too long
to doubt him now.
She cared little for Casparin, Reber
| or Robello. But she must save Vandal,
| her lover.
She was smiling at the simplicity Of
this agent of police. He was going to
wear one of her dresses and track
Vandal. She could describe the dress
| to Vandal, and the police agent would
fall victim to his own trap.
| She took a new and somewhat gay
| gown from the wardrobe. At some
new and convulsing thought her face
twitched with i'll disguised mirth.
Buckford saw this.
| At his command she continued to
bring forth various portions OF wo.
mans complete outfit.
He took off his own shoes and put on
pair of Nine. du Barry's, which fitted
very well, though pretty tight for q
| young man who loved comfort
"Never mind" he said. SIT will give
me a m!ncing gait"
Nine. du Barry laughed.
| Now, madame, a small valise, II
you have one"
Nine. du Barry had almost every
thing. She produced valise.
Into this Buckford packed his coat,
vest and such small items as collars,
scarf, cuffs, all of which he still wore,
as they had not been taken from him
In the depot They were, to be sure,
much soiled and bedraggled. But he
did not know when he might need
them before he could purchase more,
and he could easily wash them and
iron them, not as laundry sends
them home but at least clean.
Over his trousers he put Nine. du
Barry's skirts. He then added a wo-
mans vest front and waist and
fastened Nine. du Barry's little silk
tie at his throat.
One thing was in his favor. He had
neither beard nor mustache.
A slight growth of hair could be
seen on his lip, but no more than Nine.
du Barry's own.
Nine. du Barry, choking with laugh
ter, since the affair had become so good
joke, exclusively her own, fastened
some false hair to his head, first tying
knots in his own to make safe hold
for the fastenings. A bonnet completed
the disguise, though gloves, a fan and
other accessories were all at hand.
In point of fact Buckford. after Nine.

Re.Organizations Cost Money.

The Interstate Commerce Commis-
sion in announcing a decision last
week with reference to certain rates
charged to Lynchburg. Danville and
other cities, made a statement which
must have narrowed the feelings Of
the stockholders of the old roads be-
longing to the Southern Railway sys-
TEN. The Commission in its decision.
which was against the Southern Rail-
way, asserted that the s120,000,000 OF
common stock in that road had never
had anything paid upon it, and
finally, that it does not rest in the
whim of Reorganization Committee
in Wall Street to impose tax upon
the whole Southern country"
AS the Southern Railways COM
mon stock was issued in exchange for
the stocks Of the old Richmond Ter
minal system, the shares were paid for
and very dearly at that, as any OF the
old stockholders would bear witness.
When the reorganization was effected
il was in the darkest period Of railroad
depression and the most that was ex-
pected in the new company was to
save the charges on the old bonds.
Most of these bonds were assessed and
the stocks were all heavily taxed. The
Richmond Terminal shareholders hao
to pay $40 share and the East Ten
nessee common stockholders s720 per
share, and give up 40 per cent. Of their
stockholdings. The burden was so
heavy and the Southern Hallway COM
mon stock offered in exchange ap-
peared so valueless that many holders
would not pay the assessments and
threw the burden on the reorganiza-
ton committee.
The rates complained Of by the citi-
zens Of Danville may have been too
high, but any man who has owned
stock in a reorganized corporation
will bear testimony that the process Is
a costly one. The common stock OF
big industrial syndicates whose con-
stituent companies were bought out
at high prices is frequently given away
to the promoters, but in the case OF
bankrupt railroads the reorganized
shares, however worthless they may
be, have cost the original stockholders
a great deal OF money.-Louisyille

Not long ago In Paris there were sold

from a maid in her employ TO their

cd pieces Of lace had q story attached

lie bad brought It from Italy. lie Of
ten brought her beautiful things ON his
return from a successful campaign,
nnd Josephine never asked him how he
had got them, for she thought that per-
hans he would not care TO tell.
II was a large square OF the finest
old point de venise, and Josephine. as
soon as she had it In her possession,
sent for NJ. Duplan, her man milliner.
md asked him TO make with It a GER

piece Is too large, and we could not ar

The lace was drapod on her shoulders.
She knew how she wanted it. so she
calmly took a pair of scissors ana I'm n
second had it set right, while long, mar
row pieces Of the priceless stun fell
round her.
At this moment the emperor entered
the room. "Cannibalr' he cried. And
he gave her a sounding slap on her
cheeks. which were soon covered with
tears. Duplan dlscreetly withdrew
and the lace was thrown into a chest
OF drawers. Josephine could not bear
the sight Of It after that and at last
gave lt to her maid. The odd bits of II
have now been sold for $1,000. Anoth

The collection was a superb one. The
