On entering the parlor Lomaqu,
walked straight TO Rose and, apparently
not noticing that Danville was sitting
at the harpsichord and singing at tht
time, addressed her coafrseQly and ear

who sat by her side, frowned and tap
ped the land steward contemporary
on the arm with her fan.
"Be so good as to keep silent until
my son has done singing" she said.
Lomaque made low bow and, retir,
ing to table in corner, took up q
newspaper.
Danville had finished his song and
quilted the harpsichord and was talk
ing in whispers to Rose, Nine. Danville
was adding a word to the conversation
every now and then, Trudaine was
seated at the far end Of the room
reading a letter which he had taken
from his pocket, when an exclamation
from Lomaque, who was still engaged
with the newspaper, caused the others
to look up
"What Is it?'' asked Danville.
"Shall l be interrupting if explain p

dressing himself to Nine Danville.

ut is passage from the Scientific
Intelligence which will be good news
for every one here" Saying this,
Lomaque looked significantly at Tru-
dame and read:
Academy of Sciences, Paris.-The
vacant subprofessorship of chemistry
has been offered, we are rejoiced TO
hear, to q gentleman whose modesty
has hitherto prevented his scientific
merits from becoming sufficiently prom
inent in the world. TO the members
of the academy he has been long
known as the originator of some re-
markable improvements in chemistry,
the credit of which he has, with al
most culpable moderation, allowed
others to profit by. No man in any
profession is more thoroughly entitled
to have a position of trust and dis
tinction conferred on him by the state
than the gentleman to whom we refer
M. Louis Trudaine'
Before LOmaque could look up from
the paper to observe the impression
which the news produced, Rose had
gained her brothers side and was
kissing him in a flutter of delight.
Dear Louis" she cried, clapping her
hands, "let me be the first to congratu-
late you! How proud and glad am!
You accept the professorship, of
course?"
Il have not made up my mind, Rose;
at least, not yet"
Danville, without the slightest APP
pearance of interest in Lomaque's
news, asked what the paper said about
the murmurings of the people, what
are the last accounts from Paris? Any
more symptoms of general revolt?'
Lomaque turned to another part of
the paper. bad, very bad, prospects
for the restoration of law and order"
he said. 'Necker, the peoples minister,
Is dismissed. Placards against popular
gatherings are posted all over Paris.
The Swiss guards have been ordered
to the Champs Elysees with four
pieces Of artillery. No more Is vet
known, but the worst is dreaded. The
breach between the aristocracy and the
people is widening every hour"
Lomaque laid down the newspaper.
Trudaine took it up and shook his
head forebodingly as he looked over the
which had just been read.

people, indeed! Let those four pieces of
be properly loaded, let the
Swiss guards do their duty, and we
shall hear no more of the people!"
Il advise you not to be too sure of
that, said her son. There are rather
