to take leave of this kind man, they
invited him to come to visit them
should he ever journey south.
For some time now the little wife
was silent and seemed lost in a deep
reverie, and when at last Jacques
asked her what made her so quiet?
She replied with great earnestness,
she wished she were at home, she
was tired of it all. A great light
broke over jacques face and his
eyes danced with joy. "Why,
Madeleine" he said, 81 did not know
you cared so much for the little
place."
well, would not give my home
for all of Paris" she answered.
"Then, we will certainly turn
back, if you wish; but what will
you do about Notre Dame?
ooh, / do not care, and would
rather see my own pretty church
again And then recollecting her
self, she said: "But you will be dis
appointed, not seeing the Emperor"
mo" he said, 81 do not care, for
have but a poor opinion of man
who will leave his capitol, for days
at a time to go on hunting expe-
dition." All this he had learned
from the workman with whom they
had talked at noon. And also that
it was not unusual for the Emperor
Napoleon IID to depart, on
pleasure bent, wenever the mood
overlook his majesty. Having said
this Jacques gave the good horse
such a sudden pull that he quickly
turned and sped rapidly howard
home, as if he had understood the
conversation.
He was at all times an intelligent
brute. AS the night now came on
they made good time, getting soon
out on to rather quiet road, and
all the roads, be it said, are per-
fectly graded. They laughed and
chatted now like merry children,
and looking back, even snapped
their fingers at Paris, and Madeleine
clapped her hands in glee, and broke
out in love song of Old French,
taught to her by her grandmother.
A scion of the nobility, cantering
along in the dusk of the charming
night checked his rein to listen to
the sweet voice, and marvelled who
it could be in that covered cart,
singing songs of the old regime.
They stopped to rest and feed the

nearing Easter, and was fine time
to see that world of France outside
of their own district. They decided
to start at point de jour one Satur-
day morning, and to make the first
inn of which the Cure had told
them at night; they would stop to
church in the morning of Sunday,
and then go rapidly on until night
again. The children came early in
the morning, bringing a garland for
the horses neck, and many of the
villagers, and Madeleine's family,
followed them along to the Long
Road, and then waving their hand
kerchiefs and hats, shouted: Good
bye Jacques, Adieu Madeleine"
And they watched the little cart
until it was out of sight. Pain
must ever be mingled with all Our
JOY. Paintings are bad things, the
losing sight of face beloved, even
for brief time. 1t is that dread
full uncertainty of meeting again.
For few days Jacques and Mad
eleine almost forgot home, so much
did they see that was novel and
strange, and also pleasing to them.
Many people, many churches, shops,
inns, the signs, the wormen, the
vineyards. Sometimes in the
country, sometimes going on
through a town. Stopping for a
few minutes to chat with man or
woman or even children; stopping
at night at some pleasant, cheerful
inn. But after a few days Made
leine began to tire of it all, and to
speak of home frequently. She
would wonder if Jeanette had fed
the hen that was setting, ask
jacques if he thought the lilacs
would be in blossom when they got
home? And if he thought they were
all watching what time they would
get home? Jacques would call her

his death the late Lord Balingbroke
being then AT the age of seventy-five
had married one of the maid servants
employed at I.ydiard Park. his country

Howard. and she was the daughter OF a

Prohibition Movements.
One Reason Why They Are Not Effec-
tive in All Cases.


Since the beginning of the so-ealled
temperance movement. which was
really a movement toward total absti-
hence, there have been periodic and
spasmodic efforts to prohibit absolute
~ the sale Of Intoxicating liquor IN
one place and another. Sometimes
these efforts have been successful.
There are many towns and counties
scattered here and taere IN our land. in
which even a glass of beer cannot be
procured by the thirsty traveller; but
the movement generally fails in big
cities, and it fails when extended over
large areas. IT is apf to be found,
moreover, that where tnere is a large
iliiterate laboring population the Pc
Iiiical machine is likel$ - be well
oiled and likely to be firmly allied
with the saloon.
Now. there is a reason f7r fllis. and
ii has not been clearly understood by
some Of the good people who have IN
sisted on prohibition. In a small
town. the people Of which are natur-
ally inclined TO sobriety and self-con-
troll. absolute prohibition is likely 10
be a success, because the hearts Of the
people are inclined to keep the law.
But a large manufacturing town, in
which there is . mass of humanity

out other than material interests. the
saloon j., as DR. Ramsford has said,
the poor mans club, and nothing Is
supplied to take lis place if that be
removed. In such a town the lowest
forces are allied with the strongest pc
l.tical machine, because the rich and
intelligent can have their clubs, hotels
and wine cellars, aud do not need po
litical aid TO indulge their tastes. while
the poor man sees in politics his only
chance TO protect his independence.
1t Is true that the 3Iitical boss gives
Inn a very doubtful sort of independ-
ence. bat it is the only kind he can
appreciate. There is no earthly usf

A Tenement Which Is a Hone
low a New York Woman Made a Tene-
ment Building Both Pleasant
and Profitable.

The sale Of a tenement Known as
"Buttermilk House" in New York.
under certain peculiar restrictions,
las brought to light some interesting
facts about the possibility of eombin-
ing philanthropy and profit in New
York city It has been said by some
OF the people responsible for tene-
ment horrors that they cannot help
keeping the sort of property they do.
because otherwise they would lose
money. a thing which nobody can be
expected to endure. The history of
this particular tenement in New York,
and of some others in Boston. proves
that it IS not always necessary to be a
fcol IN business matters in order to
give ones tenants just treatment.
Ehis tenement was bought for sd.
600 by woman, over twenty years
ago. She did not approve Of the
methods Of running tenement proper
ty sanctioned by religious and unre-
Igious property owners Of that city.
She put the building in good order
and rented it TO respectable people, at
reasonable prices. and made 1t pay
~ per cent net on her investment, IN
spite of increased taxation and other
lcsseS. She would not allow heuor 10
be sold there, nor any immoral bust
ness to be carried on.
The property, in spite of restrie
mons which bind the owner not to
lease any part of It for saloon or o
dive, has now sold for $4,000 OBJ
viously. most people would have
thought they were not making a living
if they had not made that building
pay It's percentage on $4,000 instead
of $4,000. But a percentage of 81
5 not bad. not a profit which can be
considered foolisllly small, and il
shows pretty conclusrely that some
of the people who whine about beng
compelled to obey building laws and
create decent conditions for men and
women to live in are afraid not of
losing money, but Of making 5 instead
cf 10 or u per cent on their invest
nients. a loss which would not serious
~ injure anything but tleh feelings.
