any questions concerning Rice's valet,

NAPOLEON'S TOMB,
Guarded by Quaint Character Reminis-

cent of Early Days.
Among the veterans calmly living
out their heretofore stormy lives in the
quiet, silent gardens of the Invalides
one OF the best known is the aged Pere
Denys ROch, who is a great favorite
with members of the imperialist party
and whose personality is doubtless IA
mlllar to many readers as the GUS
todlan Of Napoleon's tomb This gal
liant old grognard, who styles himself
grandiosely Forderly Of his majesty the
King Napoleon I" but who in reality
was only a sergeant in the voltigeurs
DE Ia garde, makes a great point of
never missing the annual service in
memory Of the prince imperial to whom
refer. So the other day he made his
appearance at the Church of st. Aug
ustin in his ordinary uniform as one
OF the lnvalides, with the exception of
the usual headgear. In place Of this
he proudly wore his enormous volti-
geur shake, with the emperial eagle,
topped by great red and yellow
plume. Yet no one in the church
smiled at this grotesque temperance
OF relic of the grande arme, for, frivo-
lous as are many Of these toy Bona
partists, they OWNED the touching
faith that possessed the old mans soul
the unshakab1e fidelity to the mem
Cry of his master. On the contrary,
they overwhelmed him with sympa-
thetic greetings, Prince Murat shook
hands with him, and then the old man
went home through the streets of the
city, a quaint and pathetic figure of
hero in his extraordinary bedizenment.

CHAPTER XIV.
;
THE MiGniCht Song.

Herbert Give stood on the moon1ir
deck Of the Ocean Queen, watching
the faint line, now scarcely percepti-
BILE in the distance-the line that
marked the fast-receding shore. The
breeze had freshened, as the dark
browed traveller had foretold, and few
Of the passengers were able that even
ing to appear at the table or on deck.
Mr.. CliYe was one Of the few, and
though the mighty vessel rolled and
sWayed like some playful monster in
the moonlit waves. he stood watching
the silyery waters, undisturbed by the
usual horrors of first ocean voyage.
But sea-sickness would have added
little to his present misery. He felt
almost as if he would have welcomed
some bodily ill that might divert his
mind from its bitter and sorrowful
CONCENTRATIONS. The thought Of her
he SO deeply loved, SO cruelty and mys,
teriously lost, was. ever present to
him. Echoes Of her words her songs,
were ever drifting back like broken
music. to his ear. Her form seemed
floating before him by day and by
night, her eyes looking into his with
that last look Of despairing love that
had frightened them for. a moment
ere they had closed forever. His spir-
it seemed broken. his energies paral-
yzed. He was listless, languid. dreamy
utterly unlike the Herbert Give Of
old
There would come a reaction after a
time. for there was toe much of the
fire, and spirit, and strength Of man

City Which Is NOT g. Citv.

Bonne Terre, Mo-, although contain
ing a population Of 5000, is not, prop
erly speaking, a city or town. It is
merely an aggregation Of houses,
streets and folks. There is no mayor,
no assembly, no commissioners of this
or that. The township authorities look
to the peace Of the community and
transact all other necessary public
business. Bonne Terre is a business
enterprise managed on purely business
principles. All the land is owned by
mining company, which leases build
ing lots for long terms. The company
thus keeps control of all the public
interests of the place, the result being
that the town is thriving, eontented
