few moments st. Denis had to look
sharp; but it was only for Few mo-

a downward stroke with all his available
force, only meaning to break his antag-

shed. But Simon had thrust his arm

of the sword received the weight of the
blow, the hand would have been severed

UNSPOKEN SYMPATHY.

Little Children Who Were Careful Not
to Hurt an UncIe's Feelings.
He was big, burly, good-natured
conductor on country railroad, and
he had watched them with much inter-
est as they got on the train. There
were two handsome, round-faced, rosy
checked boys, and three sunny-haired
pretty little girls of various sizes and
ages. A grave, kind-looking gentleman,
evidently their guardian, got In with
them and the conductors attention
was soon caught by the fact that the
apparently eager conversation was car
ried on by means of a deaf-and-dumb
alphabet, the gentleman Joining in so
pleasantly that the conductor beamed
on him with approval. Naturally kind
hearted himself, 1t pleased him to see
this trait In others. But his honest
eyes were misty as he thought of his
own noisy crowd Of youngsters at
home, and contrasted them with this
prim little company who smiled and
gestlculated, but made no sound.
1t was plain they were off on a holi-
day jaunt, for they all had satchels,
and wore a festive, "go-away" air; and
the conductor, whose fancy played
about them continually, settled 1t In his
mind that they belonged to some asy-
lum, and were going with their teacher
for a vacation trip. He couldn't help
watching them, and, nodding to them
as he passed through the car; they re-
turned his greeting in kind, being cheer
full little souls, and he began to look
forward with regret to the time Of part
ing.
At length, at one of the rural sta
tions, the gentleman kissed the young
ones hurriedly all round, and got off
the train. They leaned out Of the win
dows and waved enthusiastic farewells
as the car moved on; then the biggest
''llttle glrl' took brown-paper bag
from her satchel and distributed crack
ers in even shares. The conductor, in
passing, smiled and nodded as usual,
as the little girl held out the paper bag
to him.

He started back In sheer amazement.
"Whatw he exclaimed; "you can talk,
then-all of you"
"Of course!" they cried in chorus.
The conductor sank into the seat
across the aisle. II thought you were
deaf and dumb" he gasped.
"0h, how funny" cried one Of the
rosy-cheeked boys. "Why. that was

CHAPTER XVI.

That evening Brion st. Julien and Gou-
part conversed long and earnestly togeth-
er. For some time the youth had enter
to New Orleans and seeking Louise, but
finally he resolved to wait awhile, at
least until he had one more interview
with Lobois.
"That Lobois was the cause Of her be-

said the marquis, after some remarks

'How can there be doubtr" returned
Goupart. 'His story of the rescue of
the poor girl is too improbable for belief,
unless he had some understanding with
the Indians"
But do you not think that he found
her as he saysT inquired the marquis.

st. Denis went to his chamber. and
went to his bed; but he could not sleep
He lay with his hands clasped over his
brow, and ever and anon deep. painful
grsans would break from his lips. His
grief was deeper than he could tell, even
In his widest prayers, and his hopes were
all gone. The thing had come upon him
with a doubly crushing force, for II had
found his soul already bowed down be-
meath the weight Of fear. He could have
known that Louise had died, for then he
might have wept awhile, and then calm
ly knelt down and prayed. But now even
that sad and melancholy boon was de-
MED him. Like the frantic mother who
stands and sees the eagle perched upon
the cliff with her shrieking infant, stood
the youth with respect to his beloved.
But, at length, when the first hours az

Times have changed since then, and

by old and young alike. Its mission
now Is the restoration Of the skin. the

From this list 1t will be seen that

1t Is such to- the last Inch.
To manipulate the skipping rope
properly a rope should be obtained Of
the kind which is fitted with handles.
Thus one can have a support for the
fingers to keep the rope from cutting
into the hand. Then. too, the handles
enable one to shorten the rope and
to make highest skips at will.
The second requisite Is that the air
in which the skipping is performed
shall be fresh.

A half-hour later Mr.. Blinks. still
chewing his mustache, was sitting in a
small and cozily appointed pallor
awaiting the arrival of five feet nothing

time and the young man in his nervous
tension suffered accord. .ngly. Seconds
seemed minutes and minutes seemed
hours while still he waited. At last the
rustic of a dress was heard and she

Mrs. Abraham SiegeI, Whose

Declares that She Intends
to Follow His Example.

A h~ollok-eyed woman leaned over the
balustrade on the top foo of the tens-
ment at No. 92 Henry street to-day
when an Evening World reporter
climbed the stairs to ask about the SUI
eide Of Abraham sieeel. Water dripped
through the leaking roof and formed
puddles on the oarpetless floor In a
room off the hall four scantily-clad lit
tie children sat on chairs and sobbed.
The rain was sweeping through the
ceiling, the walls wer damp. the air
was cold.
The woman was the widow of Abra-
ham Siegel. The sobbing children were
their children. A few hours before the
husband and father had beer carried
out by a policeman, his face scared by
carbolic acid, and now they were wait
ing for his body to be brought hame

woman whose house she had cleaned.
Sieyel Tax determined that he would
procure a peddler's license. He went
down to the City Hall. only to find that
he could moi obtain a license unless he
brought certificates of good character.
He hurried back to his neighborhood
and got the required certificates. On
the way back to tho City Hall he was
told that the cost OF a license was IS.

his eye staring into the darkness. Just
after daylight he summoned up sufficient
courage to take the poison.
His wife heard him grooming and
called assistance. AS he was carried
away he said to her:

The reporter asked Mrs. Siegel what
she wac going to do. She looked al the
