at that moment. Lord Egerton directed
towards her glance, sorrowful and I'M
quiet, and to Louis, who bent over her,
that touched her, in the midst Of her
happiness, almost to tears, it told SO ele-
qnently 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 forgottenthat 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 q
few words with him, was about to leave
the apartment.

THE next day domestic came to the
door Of the chamber, and gave to Rose
a note which she stated had been deliver
ed to Jean Morel, one Of her fellow ser
wants, who had entrusted It to. her for
mademoiselle.
WHO gave it to Jean, my good girl2"
asked Rose, theHghtfully. ~
"A rough-looking fellow, mademoiselle,
he told me. He came up to the chateau
a few minutes ago. But Jean did not
know who he was. He has never seen
him before"
She went away; and, wonderingly,
Rose unfolded the paper. Inside was
written merely the words: Come down

head, and wrapping light mantle about
her, she fastened the door of her apart

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

eyes.
''It is true!' she said, in a low and sad
voice.
He looked at her moment in silence.

Criminal Brsc-a-Brao 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 a 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 NJ. Deloyer, and was bitten OF
by an adversary in the course of 6
street row. Deloysr recovered from the
effects Of the injury. The article wa!
finally knocked down for francs.
heavily muffied man IN the audience
was supposed TO have been the origina
possessor of the ear. He continual,
managed to raise the bid at q doubtful
moment, but he was not able to buy II
the article, which finally went to a N
LAfage.

Mercer was not afraid to tie up with the

he made his head work with his arm.

his prime, and Mercer. The game was
played at League Park, which was then
called New S~portsman's Park. Mercer came
to town with the Washington team with a
record OF eight straight victories on the
road-it was his first season in the big
league-and Breitenstein was assigned to

Mercer at that time was twirling excellent
ball and hitting at a good clip. He always
was a good felde in any position and killed
many infield raps.
A FAMOUS PITCHERS BATTLE.
As the game progressed 1t developed into

the Senator's and covered second base. That
day Mercer was given good support. and.

innings. Mercer had allowed but three hits,

Mercer participated in many such battles.
