The Great French Authors Immsnse
Appreciation of Himself.
1t was quarter of a century ago
that the writer OF this paragraph first
saw Victor Hugo, the centenary OF
whose birth was recently celebrated.
1t was at a congress of European au-
thors, assembled in Paris to discuss
the question of International copy

authors then living were present at

the question before the congress. he
had not spoken dozen words when
the presiding officer raped him to Or
der. "Silence," said the president.
Nobody speaks after Hugo. The con-
gress is adjourned until tomorrow"
There was no dissent from this ruling
OF President Hugo, and the delegates
dispersed.
II was an impressive demonstration
OF Hugo's tremendous appreciation OF
himself. as well as Of the profound re-
spect in which he was held by his lit
erary contemporaries.

They were quite late in returning
from the French cooks ball and the
car going south on Broadway was
crowded with the tired dancers. At
the next corner the car stopped and Q
blond young man got on, who. as
he entered the car, at once attracted
the gaze even of the sleepy dancers.
He advanced to the center and held on
to strap with one hand. In the
other he carried an enormous hat, un-
mistakably feminine, as attested by
yards OF blue chiffon and waving os-
trich plumes.
He was serenely unconscious of his
burden until. the conductor asking for

1t was with silent alarm that young
William Baker, the most bashful boy
of his class, noted the steady progress
Of an internal pang. 1t became so
acute finally that he could maintain
his composure no longer and he cried
outright.
The gentle school teacher came down
from her chair upon the dais and, plac-
ing her hand kindly upon the boys
head. asked him what was the matter.
William only sobbed. He dare not
designate his trouble by the rude term
under which 1t was known to school
boys. His better instincts told him that
such language was not suited to the
ears of lady.
But after hearing much tender SYM
pathy and hesitating profoundly, he
managed to hit upon what seemed to
him to be a polite phrase of diagnosis.
And so he raised his fearful eyes and
said:

my abandon"

When safely landed in his hotel he

After all, it had been an eventful

as though that for which he had
yearned all through those dreary
years was about to be snatched away
from him in his hour of victory.
The little germ was working, and in
due time it might leaven the whole
lump-a few more such rude shocks as

~ CHAPTER XVII tContinuedJ
He soon discovered that his driver
had chosen far from delectable route
to the hotel-true, it might be short
er, but he could not remember ever
having heard OF Jehu ready to cut
down the length of his journey when
he had good paying fare inside.
The marquis experienced the first
little sensation of alarm, or, rather
uneasiness. just then. His curiosity
having been aroused. the marquis found
means to look out of the vehicle. and
was not greatly surprised when he dis
covered that an unknown man sat be-
side the driver.
4, Before now he had known that
some one was riding behind. having
heard various thumps that gave the
secret away, and once upon twisting
hts head around he had a fieeting
glimpse of human eye glued to the
little glass in the back canopy Of the
vehicle.
A very pleasant outlook. really.
Being philosophical man to a
marked degree. the marquis at once
set to work pooling his resources. so
as to make as game a stand as the oc-
casion would admit.
He remained perfectly cool and self
possessed--when a man had passed
through such astonishing adventures
as had fallen to his lot of late years
he is hardly likely to show the white
feather because forsooth few London
blackmailers and footpads conspire to
entrap him.
He gathered his energies together
and watching his chance. quietly open
ed the door to the left. intending to
drop out without attracting the atten-
ton of the two cronies upon the seat.
A very clever little idea. and one
that might have worked to beauti-
full issue only for one thing-he had
forgotten the fellow who was riding in
the rear OF the GROWER"
The marquis. with an agility he had
acquired from long years of athletic
practice. had successfully made the
drop. and was in hopes that his move
had not been seen. when the third
party leaped from behind the vehicle.
and. throwing himself upon the half
recumbent passenger, sounded the
alarm.

Mazette Makes a Discovery.

Affairs could not continue much fur
Their without coming to a crisis.
There came the day when the mar.
quis found he could no longer blind
one pair of eyes, at least
Mazette had remembered.
The marquis was taken by surprise
when, upon entering the little studio,
he found Mazette in tears.
Come, what has gone wrong?" he
exclaimed In dire dismay, for. like all
men, he felt his utter impotence under
such conditions.
She came toward him, smiling
through her tears--there was upon her
face reproach, delight and keen arts
tic disappointment.
