CHAPTER 1x.-tcoptinued.l

Helen Montauban did not answer. But,
at that moment, Lord Egerton directed
towards her a glance, sorrowful and un-
quiet, and to Louis, who bent over her,
that touched her, in the midst of her
happiness. almost to tears, it told SO elo-
quently of his true feelings, which he had
been trying to hide ever since the arrival
of Louis. 1t warned her that she was
not yet forgotten-that he loved her yet
that he would have given worlds for
the place occupied by another near her,
and which he was not allowed to secure.
The following morning, Louis, entering
the library during his uncle's absence,
found Rose reading in a great armchair
by herself. She rose, with slight blush,
as he entered. and after exchanging a
few words with him, was about to leave
the apartment.
Nay, Rose-do not go away quite yet,"
he said, in a gentle tone. "I have some
thing would say to you. Will you not

Criminal Br4c-a-Brac in Paris.

Criminal Bric-a-Brac in Paris.
Relics of great crimes in Paris are not
placed In a government museum, nor
are they retained within the archives of
the prefecture de police; they are ex-
hibited for a few days and are then
knocked down to the highest bidder.
Many Parisians, and foreigners, too, re-
siding in Paris, have large collections
of this bric-a-br&c de crime. The gov
ernment shop in the rue de Ecoles,
where the gruesome objects are ex-
posed for sale occasionally, has curl
Gus lot or two to offer any would-be
purchaser. Up to the present, how
ever, pieces Of human anatomy have
not figured in the catalogue, but there
was recently offered for sale a gentle
mans ear in an excellent state of pres
ervation, as the auctioneer remarked,
owing to its having been kept in spirits
Of wine. The ear belonged to one
named M. Deloyer, and was bitten on
by an adversary in the course Of a
street row. Deloyer recovered from the
effects Of tho jnjHry. The article was
finally Knocked down for 8 francs. A
heavily muf1ed man In the audience
was supposed to have been the original
possessor Of the ear. He continually
managed to raise the bid at q doubtful
moment, but he was not able to buy in
the article, which finally went to M.
LAfage.

The Coming Man.
A pair Of very chubby legs
Ineased In scarlet hose;
A pair of little stubby boots
With rather doubtful toes;
A little kilt, little coat,
Cut as a mother can
And loi before US strides in state
The futures coming man."
His eyes, perchance, will read the stars,
And search their unknown ways
Perchance the human heart and soul
Will open to their gaze;
Perchance their keen and flashing glance
Will be a nations light
Those eyes that now are wistful bent
On some big fellows" kite.
That brow where mighty thought will
dwell
In solemn, secret state;
Where fierce ambitions restless strength
Shall war with future fate;
Where science from now hidden caves
New treasures shall outpour-
IT'S knit now with a troubled doubt,
Are two, or three cents, more?
Those lips that in the coming years
Will plead, or pray, or teach;
Whose whispered words on lightning
faah
From world to world may reach;
That, sternly grave, may speak COM
mand,
Or, smiling, win control
Are coaxing now for gingerbread
With all baby's soul!
Those hands-those little, busy hands
So sticky, small and brown;
Those hands whose only mission seems
To pull all order down
Who knows what hidden strength may
lie
Within their future grasp,
Though now tits but a taffy-stick
In sturdy hold they clasp?
All. blessings on those little hands
Whose work is yet undone!
And blessings on those little feet
Whose race is yet unrun!
And blessings on the little brain
That has not learned to plan!
Whate'er the Future holds In store,
God bless the coming man!'

one concerning her intention or allowing
herself to be seen, she silently and secret
ly left the chateau by a side door, and
going round the descent to the valley
by little-frequented path, was soon on
the path leading to her former home.
Rose looked to see her father at the
door; but he was not there, and conclud-
ing that she should find him within, she
hastened forward, and had almost reach
ed the door, when Gaspards appeared on
the threshold.
Good morning, my fair cousinr he
said, in answer to her brief and some
what surprised greeting. MAY 1 ask

"My father, Gasp&rde. He is hare
is he not?"
He is ready to see you, If you will

aside for her to pass in
Rose was about to do SO, when some
thing in the glance or manner of this
man struck her unpleasantly. She hesi-
tated-paused.
IF he is Within" she said, "why does
he not come to meet me when he hears
my voice?"
You must come in, Rose, before you
can see him." he returned. "Come-en-
ter! What are you afraid d.? Come
in"
"But 1 will not come in till 1 have
seen him. He must come to the door.
Will you ask him to do so? Fatherw she
called.
There was utter silence
81 do not believe he is here. You are
deceiving me, Gasparder' she cried. A
horrible fear-a suspicion of treachery,
filed her mind; she trembled and turned
deadly pale.
Gasparde smiled. 1t was the smile of
an incarnate fiend. His hand was laid
Upon her arm.
"Ah! you begin to suspect, my pretty
onev' he said.
'Let me go, Gasparde!' she cried, af-
frightedly. 81 am faint" murmured she,
to herself, "and there is no help near. o,

"Nay-don't be in a hurry, my sweet
Rose; you see I am not" he said, still
holding her arm. ''Yes-you are right:
your father is not here, nor will he be. I
sent for you to come. I waited for you.
And now it is your turn to beg. You
know how scornful you were once. You
would not listen to my prayers. Times
are changed now. I have trapped you

With an earnest, unQuiet glance, he
watched her countenance. 1t was cover

eyes.

voice.
He looked at her moment in silence.
"Rose, is this possible?" he asked, at
length, with an accent Of subdued aston

'I have said it." returned the young
girl, inexpressibly panied by his man

''But, Rose, think a moment-a gar
