a Bit of French Life.

A country teeming with age; pop
ulatiOn with many unique customs,
dating back as far in the lapse of
time as the churches themselves,
where the town crier is almost a
daily occurrence, with his rata tap
tap on his old snare drum, and his
sonorous voice droning a proclama-
ton of the MARIE. Listen with me to
one l heard: The maire has heard
with regret that the children of the
village have been disturbing the
birds nests in the trees; and if these
acts are not discontinued, he will
hold the parents responsible and fine
them heavily" Strange, odd it all Is,
but how interesting.
One lives we'll here; not grand
rooms and bath, to be sure, nor at
at room and bath prices, for six
francs a day will foot the bill fer
everything, including wine; but we
get the very pest of food at the cafes,
or at the Hotel du Cog, at Montigny,
where we dine in one of the pretty
little arbOrs 1 the garden, and for
get all about the rush and struggle
for existence we have ever present
with us at home. It is not only q
rest and q relief, but an inspiration.

The Shark was anchored off Twen-

breakfast. He found himselE fol-

suffered from her before, so he ig-
nored her sedulOusly and severely,
and continued his stroll until he was

Mr.. Chalmers found telegram
awaiting him from Chicago. 1t read
as follows:

William Chalmers, Managing Editor New

L. Sylvester Vincent undoubtedly head
of conspiracy. He has been planning it
for months. Left Chicago three weeks
ago with letters of introduction to Car
mody, Rockwell, Morton, Haven and
Pence. Has frequently been heard to
boast that he would do them Have
just obtained information of Vincent s
whereabouts. Will wire all developments.

BERNARD SEYMOUR"
Chalmers expressed the opinion
that Seymour was barking at a
knot" but he answered the telegram
and sent the money as requested.
The managing editor was far from
sharing Jack Stevens high opinion
of Mr.. Seymour's detective abilities,
but was too much of disciplinarian
to interfere with the latter's plans.
He knew that Mr.. Seymour would
prove an expensive luxury, but
Chalmers had been trained to ignore
money as a factor in newspaper VEN
lures. He dismissed the enterprising
Seymour from his thoughts.
The following morning Jack Ste
vens returned from Provincetown
He had learned nothing, but had as
signed his men in such a way that
he predicted results would follow.
Chalmers explained to Stevens what
he had learned from following up the
clew offered by the letters found in
Hestor's office.
81 will give this my personal at
tention," said Stevens. "Within two
hours will find where that furniture
and stuff went to-"
"Be very careful what you say or
do, Jack" cautioned Chalmers. 1.-The
fact that Hestor bought lot of fur
niture proves nothing in itself. Say
nothing to make these furniture peo-
pie suspicious. They are likely to
wonder at our sudden interest in
Hestor's affairs
Don't you worry about that" said
