In the New York Tribune in 1856 Ho-
race Greeley wrote as follows: INC
practicable enforcement Of the license
system will ever sensibly mitigate the
evils Of intemperance. But let the laws
inhsxibly forbid the sale Of alcoholic bev-
erages, and every youth is warned from
the cradle that those beverages are hurt
ful and dangerous. and that in drinking
them he encourages violation of tho laws
Of the land. Such legislation may not a,
once abolish Eumselling, as our present
laws against theft and burglary do not
extirpate those crimes; but being based
on principle and dealing out equal JUS
tice to rich and poor, it must command
the respect even of its antagonists and
gradually win its way to universal respect
and obedience" .......-- y

His house stood high up in the Rue Lepic, commanding a view of all Paris and enjoying the pure air of the heights. It was two stories high, with green blinds and shutters, and all the windows looking on the street were dramatically closed. Tops of trees showed over the high garden wall, and tue wall was protected by chevaux de frise. The dictator paused a moment while he searched his pocket for a key, and then opening the gate disappeared within the inclosure.
 Francis looked about him. The neighborhood was very lonely, the house isolated in it's garden. It seemed as if his observation must here come to an abrupt end. A second glance, however, showed him tall house next door presenting a gable to the garden and in this gable single window. He passed to the front and saw a ticket offering urfurnished lodgings by the month, and on inquiry the room which commanded the dictator's garden proved to be one of those to let. Fran cis did not hesitate moment. He took the room, paid an advance upon the rent and returned to his hotel to seek his baggage.
 The old man with the saber cut might or might not be his father; he might or he might not be upon the true scent, but he was certainly on the edge of an exciting mystery, and he prom ised himself that he would not relax his observation until he had got to the bottom of the secret.
 From the window of his new apart ment Francis Scrymgeour commanded complete view into the garden of the house with the green blinds Immedi- ately below him very comedy chestnut with wide boughs sheltered a pair Of rustic tables where people might dine in the height of summer. On all sides save one dense vegetation concealed the soil, but there, between the tables and the house, he saw patch of gravel walk leading from the veranda to the garden gate. Studying the place from between the boards of the venetian shutters, which he durst not open for fear of attracting attention, Francis observed but little to indicate the man. ners of the inhabitants, and that little argued no more than close reserve and taste for solitude. The garden was conventual. the house had the air

ble existence in the bank and was as- sailed by thought of regret for the past.
 By this time he had arrived directly opposite the box, and, although he was still undetermined what to do or wheth- CT to do anything, he turned his head and lifted his eyes No sooner had he done so than he uttered cry of disap- pofntment and remained rooted to the spot The box was empty. During his slow advance Mir. Vandeleur and his daughter had quietly slipped away.
 A polite person in his rear reminded him that he was stopping the path, and he moved on again with mechanical footsteps and suffered ehe crowd to car ry him, unresisting, out of the theater. Once in the street, the pressure ceas- ing, he came to a halt and the cool night air speedily restored him to the possession of his faculties. He was surprised to find that his head ached violently and that he remembered not one word of the two acts which he had witnessed. As the excitement wore away it was succeeded by an over- weening appetite for sleep, and he hail.  ed cab and drove to his lodging in state of extreme exhaustion and some disgust of life.
 Next morning he lay in wait for Miss Vandeleur on her road to market and by o'clock beheld her stepping down lane. She was simply and even poorly attired, but in the carriage of her head and body there was some thing flexible and noble that would have lent distinction to the meanest toilet. Even the basket, so aptly did she carry it, became her like an orna- ment. It seemed to Francis, as he slipped into a doorway, that the sum- shine followed and the shadows fled before her as she walked, and he was conscious, for the first time, of bird singing in a cage above the lane

U1 a prison. The green blinds were all drawn down upon the outside; the door into the veranda was closed; the gar den, as far as he could see it, was left entirely to itself in the evening sun shine A modest curl of smoke from single chimney alone testified to the presence of living people.
 In order that he might not be entirely idle and to give certain color to his way of life Francis had purchased Euclid's Geometry in French, which he set himself to copy and translate on the top of his portmanteau and seated on the floor against the wall, for he was equally without chair or table. From time to time he would rise and cast glance into the inclosure of the house with the green blinds, but the windows remained obstinately closed and the garden empty.
 Only late in the evening did anything occur to reward his continual attention: Between 9 and 10 the sharp tinkle of bell aroused him from it of dozing, and he sprang to his observatory in time to hear an important noise of locks being opened and pars removed and to see MT. Vandeleur, carrying lantern and clothed in flowing robe of black velvet with a skullcap to match, issue from under the veranda and pro- ceed leisureIy toward the garden gate. The sound of bolts and bars was then repeated, and moment after Francis the house in the mobile light of the lam tern an individual of the lowest and
 most despfca ble appearance.
 Half an hour aftervard the visitor was rsconducted to the street, and MT. Vandeleur, setting his light upon one of the rustic tables, finished a cigar with great deliberation under the feli- age of the chestnut. Francis, peering through a. clear space among the leaves, was able to follow his gestures as he threw away the ash or enjoyed a copious inhalation and beheld a cloud upon the old mans brow and forcible action of the lips, Nhich testified to some deep and probably painful train of thought. The cigar was already al- most at an end when the voice of a young girl was heard suddenly crying the hour from the interior of the house.
 ''In a moment" replied John Vande- leur.
 And with that he threw away the stump and, taking up the lantern, sailed away under the veranda for the night. AS soon as the door was closed absolute darkness fell upon the house. Francis might try his eyesight as much l as he pleased he could not detect so much as single chink of light below a 1 blind, and he concluded, with great, good sense, that the bedchambers were all upon the other side.
 Early the next morning (for he was 1 early awake after an uncomfortable
 night upon the door) he saw cause to l adopt a different explanation. The blinds rose, one after another, by means of spring in the interior and disclosed steel shutters such as we see on the front of shops. These in their turn were rolled up by a similar centriyance,

T am beginning to learn the world,'' replied the other, land see that you have every reason to play me false and not one to deal honestly. am not here ito pick expressions either. You wish the diamond for yourself You know you do-you dare not deny it. Have you not already forged my name and searched my lodging in my absence. I understand the cause of your delays. You are lying i'll wait. You are the diamond hunter, forsooth, and sooner or later, by fair means or foul, you'll lay your hands upon it. I tell you it must stop. Push me much farther, and l promise you a surprise"
 It does not become you to use threats returned Vsndeleur. TWO can play at that. My brother is here in Paris, the police are on the alert, and if you persist in wearying me with your caterwauling I will arrange a lit tie astonishment for you, Mir. Roles. But mine shall be once and for all. Do you understand, or would you prefer me to tell 1t you in Hebrew? There is an end to all things. and you have come to the end of my patience. Tues day, at 2, not day. not an hour, soon CT, not the least part of a second, if it were to save your life. And if you do not choose to wait. you may go to the bottomless pit for me and welcome"
 And so saying the dictator arose from the bench and marched off in the direction of Montmarte, shaking his head and swinging his cane with a most furious ais. while his companion remained where he was in an attitude of great dejection.
 Francis was at the pitch of surprise and horror. His sentiments had been shocked to the last degree. The hopeful tenderness with which he had taken bis place upon the bench was trans formed into repulsion and despair. Old MT. Scrymgeour, he reflected, was 8 far more kindly and creditable parent than this dangerous and violent in triguer. But he retained his presence of mind and suffered not moment to elapse before he was on the trail of the dictator.
 That gentleman's fury carried him forward at a brisk pace, and he was so completely occupied in his angry thoughts that he never so much as cast a look behind him till he reached his own door.
