and her sort beams were poured into the
sitting room in gentle food, which suf-
feed for all purposes Of conversation.
Thus the family sat, when one Of the ser
wants entered and announced that a
stranger had arrived and asked for shell
ter and food. st. Julien's answer was
quickly spoken:
Give him food, and then conduct him
hither"
In the meantime, lights were brought,
and when the newcomer entered, the VIM
dows had been closed and the room was
now brilliantly lighted. He was a tall,
nobIy formed man, not over flye-and-
twenty, with a profusion Of nut-5rown
ringlets clustering about his high, full
brow, and n sweet smile Of gratitude
lighting up his handsome face.
"Ha! a white man?' uttered the mar

twenty hours, that | expected to have

"Then welcome again." resumed the
host, shaking the stranger once more by
the hand, and then conducting him to a
seat.
The conversation turned upon the mat
ural topics Of the times, but Simon Lobois
did not join in 1t. He had made one or
two remarks at the commencement; but,
suddenly, he seemed moved by the stran-
gers appearance, and now was engaged
in scanning his countenance. AT length,
he seemed to have arrived at a solution
Of the mystery, and dark cloud gathered
over his features.
Meanwhile the conversation went on,
and both Louis and Louise seemed try
ing to recall some memory Of the past.
"How far up are you going| asked

"But-really--"
The marquis was here interrupted by
Louis, who at that moment sprang from
his chair.

forward. "Goupart--GoupartF' she re-

And as these words fell from her lips
she bounded forward and caught the
young man by the hand. His eye burned
with strange light as he met her glad,
Joyous look, and his voice was marked
by perceptive tremulousness as he said

HIS TEST OF THE ARTIST.

would-Be Purchaser Made Sugges-
tions Concerning a Painting.
There is perhaps a lesson of some
sort for young artists in the story told
by Frederick Kost, the landscape and
marine painter, of the days when he
was just starting. 1t was at time
when things were not prosperlng as
he could have wished-when, In fact,
the artist was pretty hard up-that a
man wearing great fur-lined over
coat knocked at the door of his studio.
The stranger was evidently a West
erner, and a man of wealth.
"Mr Kost," he said, Il have seen
pictures of yours at different. exhibl-
tlons, and think l would like to own
one"
Then he nodded approvingly at a
landscape on the easel, and said:
"That is exceedingly nice. But" he
added after pause, might make

Certainly" said Mr.. Kost. go
ahead"
"Well," said the would-be purchaser,
81 think the sky might be changed
with advantage" and he started in to
explain the alteration which he
thought would improve the painting.
Mr.. Kost did not agree with him,
but as he wished to sell the picture
he said he would consider the matter.
And the stranger went away prom
Using to call in few days. .
Mr.. Kost went to work to change
the sky, against his own Judgment, to
suit the stranger. He ended by chang
ing the entire picture 10 suit the sky.
In fact, from a landscape, It grew
into a marine. The stranger never
turned up. and the artist cursed his
folly in having acted contrary to COM
mon sense to please an ignorant per-
son. and so spoiled one Of his best
efforts, the result of several months OF
work.
About a year later a knock took Mr..
Kost to his door again, and there stood
the stranger in the fur-lined overcoat.
Being asked in, he took a seat before
the easel and nodded apprOvlngly at
a picture that happened TO be there.

CHAPTER II.


We have remarked that the Marquis
St. Julien had two children. They were
twins, and were boy and a girl. Louis
St. Julien had seen seventeen years of
life, and he had much of his fathers look,
save that his frame never promised such
height. Those who knew Louis best,
knew how noble he was at heart, and
how fearless he was of danger. In the
hour of the deepest peril, he carried a
steady hand and a cool head, and if he
was more than usually moved, it was for
some loved friend who might share the
danger with him. His hair which was
of dark golden hue. hung loosely over
his shoulders, curling, as did has fathers,
and his eyes were large and bright, and
of a deep-blue color.
The sister was called Louise. Not only
was she of the same age, but in every re-
spect of feature did she resemble her
brother. She may have been a little
smaller, but the difference was not read
lily noticed. She had the same regularity
of feature, the same deep golden hair,
the same brilliant blue eye, the same
fair, open brow, and the same nobleness
of expression. She was beautiful girl,
and as she and her brother wandered
about together, many and many were the
untutored red men who had dwelt with a
sort of religious awe upon the fair pic
ture.
We have also said that the marquis
had nephew living with him. This was
Simon kobois, the son Of st. Juien's
sister. He was near five-and-thirty years
of age. rather below the medium stature
OF man, and not very perfect in physical
form. His shoulders were heavy, almost
to humpiness, and his head was thrown
forward instead Of standing erect. His
arms were very long. and his legs rather
short and crooked. His hair was black
and crisp, aud his eyes also black and
small; his face was very regular In fea-
ture, and might have been called hand
some but for the tendency Of the brow to
premature wrinkles, the strange sharp
ness of the small black eyes, and the un-
eouth erispiness Of the hair. He had
been left an orphan at the age OF twenty,
and had soon squandered what little pat
rimony was left him. After this, be had
sought hiSunele, who kindly gave him a
home. Simon was an excellent account
ant, so when the marquis resolved to
come to America. he took his nephew
with him, TO help superintend the busi-
ness. and also to act as tutor for his two
children, for Simon was a good scholar.
1t was on the second evening after the
marquis had met the Stung Serpent in
the wood that the family were sitting In
one Of the rooms which looked out upon
the garden. It was towards s o'clock.
but there were no lamps lighted. for the
moon was up, bright and full, In the west

Republican Non-Partisnship in the
Matter Of Judges

I AAatNPNA Va teH
Certain Of the democratic news
papers of the Monroe-Pike Judicial
district are doing their best to make
the election Of a judge there this year
mere appeal to partisanship. This
is done wholly because the normal
majority in the district is democratic.
One Of these organs, the strouds-
burg "Times," wants somebody to
point out what republican district in
the state has a democratic Judge.
We think we can give our contempo-
rary what II wants, which, when il
gets it, will be exactly what It doesn't
want. Taking the presidential vote
to determine whether the district is
republican or democratic-and there
is no other test-there are twelve
republican districts in the state in
which there are eighteen democratic
judges. Many of these have been
elected by the unanimous support OF
the republicans, whileall are indebted
to the votes OF republicans for their
success.
The districts to which we refer are;
Philadelphia, one; Allegheny, two;
Bucks, one; Westmoreland, one; Luz
zerne, two; Fayette, one; Chester,
one; Schuylkill, three; LycOming;
one; Crawford, one; Lackawanna,
three; Cambria, one; while only q
few days ago the big republican
district composed of the counties of
Bedford, Huntingdon and Mlflln lost
by death a most excellent democratic
Judge. The Chester district is a
notable example Of non-partisanship.
1t has a republican majority of about
1000 in total vote of about 10000,
yet the republicans made no nomina-
tion against Judge Hemphill, who is
a democrat, and cordially gave him
their support. There are other
instances quite as notable.
1t is not necessary to go into more
detail. This is a sufficient answer to
the intimation of our Monroe county
contemporary that there are no demo
cratic judges in republican districts.
1t is seen that nearly one out of every
six judges in the state is democrat
in republican district, some by
unanimous consent, some because in
partisan contest there were republi
caus enough who took a non-partisan
view Of the election of judges to make
the success of a democrat possible. In
every instance the successful demo-
ncrat had to have some republican
votes.
These facts ought to be fully made
known to the voters of the Monroe
Pike district, who are being misled
by the statements of the democratic
organs. The better informed they
are the more they are likely to cast
their votes in the public Interest,"
