The arrogant spirit Of the kaiser's
quick blooded puerility seems to in

often abused his sovereign right, act

well as the only shield Of his court.
Beware, q wise man would have said,

Unlike the life and conditions OF
the sovereigns epitomized above, his

They went in, and the door was clos

Some twenty minutes might have elaps-

forth again, the young count striking
from his vanished boot one or two
straws with his riding switch, and bend
ing his head TO conceal smile that curry

ion. with less apparent restraint, was
laughing outright-a low, musical, but
hearty laugh. He quickly grew grave,
however, and said, aloud, as they pro-
ceeded to the outer door, where the inn
keeper was still standing, and endeavor-
ing to draw the usually gruff Francois
into something like conversation:
You think, then, monsieur lie cOmpte,

CHAPTER VII.

On the day of the counts departure
from the Chateau MOntauban, there stop
ped at the cottage of Hugh Lamonte
young peasant, dressed in coarse but
neat garb, and carrying across his shout
der heavy stick, on which swung bun
die neatly tied up in large cotton hand
kerchef.
This person was of something above the
medium height, light and athletic in form,
and with straight, shapely limbs, whose
grace and activity his rude dress could
not conceal. His countenance was fine,
frank and pleasing one; the features i'll
disputably handsome, and the complexion
slightly darkened, evidently by exposure
to sun and wind; while the simple open
ness and honesty of his manner could not
fail to please one.
At the invitation of Hugh Lamonte he
entered and sat down, stating that he
had come from Avalon, and desired to
obtain employment in this neighborhood.
What kind of employment do you
seek?' asked Hugh.
Il am a gardener, monsieur" answered
the young man, respectfully, land If
could have the care of Il garden some
where about here"
But" interrupted Hugh in a thought
full tone, I'VE do not need gardeners about
here. Up in the village, where the peo-
pie are all farmers, they take care of
their own gardens. Besides, it is late in
the season for that work.
The young man blushed as he returned:
30, | know that, monsieur know
that; but | would be willing to work for
so much the less"
Good! But still, think it is not very
likely that you will find employment of
that kind. If it were the spring instead
of near the autumn now, perhaps the
marquis might take you. But as it is,
you must think of something else. You
are really in need of work, | suppose"
Yes, monsieur. | bring a certificate
from my former master"
''Who was hep
"The Compile d Artois, monsieur"
''The Compile d Artois!' Hugh regard
ed the young man fixedly for a moment,
till the red color flushed into his cheek
again. Let me see your certificate, if
you please" he said
The man drew it forth and gave it to
Hugh. 1t said simply:
This certifes that the bearer, Robin
Marion, is industrious, honest and tenn
perate, and will be found faithful and
trustworthy by whoever may need his SER
vices
"(Signed),
LOUIS, COMPETE D'ARTOIS."
"That is WELL" said Hugh, quietly, as
he returned the paper, land speaks eX-
cellently for you, Master Robin. But it
will not be of much use here, am afraid.
Is there nothing else you could do?"
''Oh, yes, monsieur" answered Robin.
81 like this neighborhood, and l have
some fancy for farm work. Doubtless
could make myself useful to some of your
| neighbors."
"Well, it is busy time, and there is
every chance for one who comes recon-
mended like you. Extra work people are
wanted by several of the farmers There
| is Antoine Lebrun and Pierre Martin,
both of whom l know need one or two
more men. They live something like a
mile or two beyond here. You will, with
out doubt, find work among some Of
| them"
THANK you. I will try them," return
ed Robin, rising, and taking up his stick
and bundle, which he had laid beside him
on the floor.

FIRST DEGREE MURDER.
Verdict Reached in Case of BanE
Robber Collins.

Union, Mo, July 22.-George Collins,
the bank robber, was convicted of muir
der in the first degree for the killing of
Detective Charles J. Schumacher near
Stanton, Mo, on January "A. The PEN
atty prescribed by law is death. When
the verdict was read Collins listened
calmly and with the same fortitude that
has characterized his bearing since his
arrest in company with William Ru-
dolph at Hartford, Conn, last March.
Rudolph. who recently escaped from the
St Louis jail, is still at large.
Few women were in the court room
when the jury rendered its finding and
there was no demonstration of any kind.
Immediately after the jury had been
polled Collins was taken back to Jail
He walked quickly but made no COM
ment. A motion for a new trial will be
filed tomorrow.
Collins and Rudolph robbed the Union
bank and killed the detective after he
tracked them. They made a rich haul
and when taken in Hartford much of
the stolen money was recovered in their
room.

Racing at Detroit.


Detroit, Mich, July 22.-After two
races, the 2:20 trot and the 2:15 pace,
had been finished and two heats had
been paced in the Chamber of Commerce
stake for 2:24 class PAGERS at the
Crosse Pointe track, rain began falling
heavily and necessitated postponing the
rest of the blue ribbon programme.
Elastic Pointer opened favorite for
the Chamber of Commerce stake at 800,
with Page Hall at sos, Pan Michael at
$50, Trilby Direct and Five Points at
$45 and the field at SIS. The first heat
was never in doubt after Elastic Po1n-

all the way. Elastic Pointer apparently
had the second heat also safely won,
until. as the horses turned into the
stretch, Mccarthy rushed Tom keene
through in furious drive, passed the
favoFite 300 feet from the wire and won
by half a length.
Arolite opened favorite for the 2:ZO
trot, with Katrinka G. second choice.
Arolite broke badly in the first heat and
was distanced, the heat going to ka-
trinka G. In the second heat Katrinka
G. broke at the quarter and Guy For

in the stretch, with Red Arthur second.
Guy Fortune was never headed in the
third heat and led all the distance. He

A SNUG LITTLE SUM
Dropped by Young Vanderbilt and
Corbett at the Gaming Table

Atlantic City. n. j.. July 22.-In order
to relieve the monOtony of life here Al
fred GWynne Vanderbilt attended an
imprOmptu session at the Palace of
Chance, maintained by Phil Daily at the
board walk and St. James place.
He was in the company of William
Rothwell CYoung Corbett) and some
people from the horse show, including
several officers of the association. The
party entered the place about midnight
and remained until nearly 3 O'Clock in
the morning. The play was not heavy,
but Vanderbilt and Rothwel managed
to drop about $1,000.
A peculiar feature of the affair is that
a young man connected with a stock
brokerage house here approached the
manager of the establishment and ask
ed him what percentage he would re-
ceive provided he induced Vanderbilt to
play. He was told he would receive 10
per cent. and it is said the percentage
was paid
