If you have anything against me go with
yonr complaint to my husband. He will
answer for me-"
Il have nothing against you" said Jean
Cavalier, more gentle than can be believed:
nothing against any save only myself"
Forgive me. Do net waste time about
that" she laid. "Agrco quickly with the
marshal. He is not a hard man. You shall
go back to the folk OF the mountains with a
message OF peace. You and / will end the
war pledge myself that you shall see the
king himself, and that he will ratify the
word which my husband speaks"
Il eanrot betray those who have trusted

In the trenches, II indeed am no more

"Ah, do SOL" answered the girl with a
slight curve OF the lip.
Cavalier STRIDE to the door without
dclgnins any answer. He passed the cpen
alcoVe IN which the marshal was still die
latlng to his secretary. De MontreveI did
not pause or look up. But. as Cavalier
opened the dOor-a common countryman'a
kitchen door opening outward In two
leaves, his eye caught a descending fash Of
steel. He found two bayonets at his breast
and two more crossed before him to bar his
way.
Finding his way thus barred by the SOL
diers of the king. the young man turned and
going straight back into the chamber where
the conference had begun, he waited.
triumphant as she was, Yyette could not
escape a certain SILVER Of anxiety as she
turned to face Jean Cavalier. For once sba
felt herself the weaker. Yet there was
nothing militant or even reproachfuI about
the aspect Of the young peasant soldier.
He had rather the air OF a man who knew
his own responsibility and accepted its con-
sequences. He stood by the fireplace, on

the Ceyennes, the king would grant free

to serve his majesty in his foreign wars,

The marshal pinehed Yvette's ear as she
sat beside him.

hath somewhat exceeded her instructions.
I will promise you no terms that l do not
believe that l can persuade the king to
agree to-"
but l can promise you." he said, after
\ pause, that the king will accept your
seryice-that ne will make you commander
Of all the troops you are able to raise for
service abroad. He will also remove the
ofieers who have been signally unsuccess-
full in restoring order in the Cevennes. and
he will grant you freedom OF opinion In
matters religious!"

brusquely, can we worship according to
our conscienees the God Of our fathersf"
The Marquis de MontreYal made a slight
motion of impotence.
"As to that" he said, ut depends What
you mean. His majesty is. as you know. OF

wife. (He bowed.) So are all officers and
true servants OF the king.

graVely, "it amounts TO this. that l can

Life is very hard for a woman, Jean. I
do not ask you to forgive me-but be kind
to me-for-for my heart is broken

She breathed the final word upon the afP
with a wonderful tenderness.
But the heart Of the young man was not
so easily moved this time.
She was compelled, therefore, to try an
other tack.
Like a fash OF lightning the anger passed
sudden-white across her face

Jean Cavaliers Last Temptation.
With q bow and a smile he went out and
Jean Cavalier was left once more alone
with Yvette Foy. The girl regarded him
long and steadily from under her lashes.
Had the scepter indeed departed from her?
Was her power utterly gone! 1t seemed
like it, for the young mar never so much as
glanced at her.

truth would have ruined-him!" (She
pointed without to where in an anteroom
the steady murmur OF a voice told tina the
marshal was debating his dispatch.) HE
made me promise never to reveal our mar
riage-to keep II even from my own father.
For his sake I have done SO. and only to-
night has he removed the oath from me by
prOelaiming the truth himself"
Yyette had risen and now stood beside
the young Camisard leader.

ABOUT BIRDS.

The great army of migrating birds
has begun to appear about two weeks
earlier than usual, and as they are gov
erned chiefly by the temperature, show
this to be a very early spring. In this
part of the State the bluebird and robin
are generally believed to be the first
arrivals, but the red-winged blackbird
and song sparrow arrive as early and
sometimes are quite plentiful before
the appearance of the two first men
toned
Red-winged blackbirds, song sparrows
robins and bluebirds have been seen
here this year March the ninth, which
is the earliest record for twelve years,
with the exception of the spring of 1894,
when they appeared on and near the
same date.
Rusty blackbird, crow blackbird,
red-shouldered hen hawk and red-tailed
hen hawk follow closely. In late and
cold seasons many varieties appear for
the first time on the same date. In the
spring of 1895 the crow blackbird, blue
bird, song sparrow, slate .colored junco,
great blue heron, robin and purple finch
were seen for the first time on April
fifth. In early seasons like the present
new varieties appear every day and a
bird lover is we'll rewarded for a stroll
through the woods. BASIL II. NEWELL.

health and cooling to the burning coast.
Though a full century behind the
times, Guayaquil is the only place in
Ecuador in which any degree Of modern
civilization exists; and its limited march
of progress is not at all due to Ecua-
dorians. For example-its street-car
line was projected and built by citizens
of the United States; and so were its
gas works, factories, and most of the
other improvements. An American
company owns and controls line of
paddle-wheel steamers on the Rio Quay
as. which were constructed in Balti-
more. The only gunboat in possession
of the government is worn-out mer-
chant ship, now covered with CORFU
gated iron, which used to ply between
New York and Norfolk. Even the Gus
tom House, the largest and handsomest
structure in the section, was built by a
New Yorker, with pine from the for
ests of Maine and corrugated iron from
Pennsylvania. Though for nearly four
centuries the old town has been the one
market for more than five hundred
miles of sea-coast, it is to-day nearly
destitute of native capital, most of its
merchants being foreigners. Its COM
MERGE would doubtless be greater were
it not for the alarming frequency Of
earthquakes. Though the seacoast is
somewhat removed from the great cen
ter of disturbance and Ecuador has per-
haps suffered fewer shakings-up than
Peru and Chill, yet all the Andean re
gions are the very paradise of earth
ouakes, and Guayaquil has been several
times well-nigh destroyed by them.
You would hardly believe it even after
close examination, but it is nevertheless
true that the most princely mansions
in Guayaquil, even the grand cathedral
and the Governors ''Palacio,' are all
mere hollow squares of wood and adobe,
mastered inside aud out, and rooted
with red tiles; while by far the greater
number are straw-thatched shelters of
bamboo and dried mud, with no WIN
dows and often without doors, the bare
earth serving for flooring. Very prop
erly. in this climate, houses are built
not only with view to Withstand
earthquakes, but to admit the air, IN
stead of excluding it. Some OF the best
edifices have face of unplaned boards,
sawed by hand and placed upright, Civ
ing them all the dignity of brown stone
fronts. Others are made by planting
tree trunks, previously heWn square,
five feet deep in the clayey soil, with
horizontal timbers framed between
them for the support of the floors and
split bamboo nailed on for siding, as
we put on laths. The sides are then
daubed with mud; and when it is
thoroughly dried the fronts are elabor-
atelv succeed. Afterwards repeated
coats of white paint add the marble
like appearance that misleads one at a
distance. The poorer houses of Guaya-
Gull are like King Solomon's temple
in one particular only, that IN them the
sound of the hammer was never heard;
for not nail do they contain, their
bamboo framework being tied together
with withes, and the lattice-like founda-
ton for the thatch of grass held down
in the same manner.

Easy Lessons in Composition.

For BEGINNERS. Hawthorne, who
is acknowledged to have been master
of style, never used an italic letter in
any of his books. His emphasis was in
the sense of what he wrote. He used
almost entirely words of few syllables.
There are no big, heavy words In his
works.
For GRADUATES. Hawthorne never
used any other than plain English Ian
guage. There are no foreign words or
phrases, either ancient or modern, to
be found in any of his literary writing.
None OF you can be Hawthornes, but
then you may all profit from his ex-
ample.
For ALL WRITES. Find subject
and stick to it. Go at once 10 the
point of the question. Never daily with
a live subject, but take hold OF II;
Never write to newspaper on dead
topics. Do not use heavy and cum
berous style. Put all the sense you can
in what you write, but let it be alive
