this difference, and the results of his

One admirer of these coins
speaks of their color as d

presses regret that it is lacking in latel
coins. The explanation of it is very
simple. The alloy that entered into
the French gold coins of those days
contained as much silver as copper
and 1t was the silver that gave til,
coins their interesting paleness.
The coins of the era of Napoleon Ill
were more golden in hue. The silvel
had been taken out of the alloy.

It must be said in his defense that she

She was gone before he could speak,

the point of leaving.
All day the blue eyes haunted him.
They came between him and his
writing and danced on the pages of the
Lancet, although, as he said to himself
severely, he had no time for such non
sense. Had he been less devoted, heart
and soul. to his profession it is to be
feared that even his patients might
have found him absent-minded, for he
failed to see two of his best friends on
the street and at dinner that evening

worried lest he was working too hard.
