His memory had made sudden

his escape among the crowds Relieved
for a moment, he walked briskly until
he debouched upon the Place: de
POpera, lighted up like day with cleo
trio lamps.
This, at least" thought he, SHOULD
satisfy Miss Vandeleur."
And, turning to his right along the
boulevards, he entered the Cafe Amer
icain and ordered some beer. It was
both late and early for the majority OF
the frequenters of the establishment.
Only two or three persons. all men,
were dotted here and there at separate
tables in the hail. and Francis was too
much occupied by his own thoughts to
observe their presence.
He drew the handkerchief from his
pocket. The object wrapped in it
proved to be morocco case, clasped
and ornamented in gilt which opened
by means ofa spring and disclosed to

his head, shot past him like ball out
OF the cannon's mouth ana went Gu
reering down the street: ~
That was q close shave z thought
Francis to himself. What he wants
with me and why he should be SO dis
turbed I cannot think, but he is plainly
not good company for the moment, and
I cannot do better than follow Miss
Vandeleur's advice" s4.
So saying, he turned to retrace his.
steps, thinking to double and descend
by the Rue LEIPZIG itself while his pur.
suer should continue to follow after
him on the other line of street. The
plan was ill devised AS a matter Of
fact, he should have taken his seat in
the nearest cafe and waited there until
the first heat of the pursuit was over.
But besides that Francis had no ex
perience and little natural aptitude for
the small war of private life. He was
SO unconscious Of any evil on his part
that he saw nothing to fear beyond
a disagreeable interview, and to dis
agreeable interviews he felt he had
already served his apprenticeship that
evening; nor could he suppose that
Miss Vandeleur had left anything un-
said. Indeed, the young man was sore
both in body and mind-the one was all
bruised, the other was full Of smarting
arrows, and he owned to himself that
Mr.. Vandeleur was master of a very
deadly tongue. s.s.~
The thought of his bruises reminded
him that he had not only come with
out hat, but that his clothes had con-
siderably suffered in his descent
through the chestnut. At the first
magazine he purchased a cheap wide
awake and had the disorder of his
toilet summarily repaired. The keep
sake, still rolled in the handkerchief,
he thrust In the meanwhile into his
trousers pocket. -
Not many steps beyond the shop he
was conscious of a sudden shock, a
hand upon his throat, an Infatuated
face close to his own and an open
mouth bowling curses in his ear. The

quarry, was returning by the other
way. Francis was stalwart young
fellow, but he was no match for his
adversary whether in strength or skill,
and after few Intellectual struggles
he resigned himself entirely to his cap
tor.
"What do you want with me?' said
he. "
1--WE will talk of that at home," re-
turned the dictator grimly. =
And he continued to march the
young man up hill in the direction of
the house with the green blinds. 49,
But Francis, although he no longer
struggled, was only waiting an oppor-
tunity to make bold push for free
dom. With sudden jerk, he left the
collar Of his coat in the hands Of Mr..
Vandeleur and once more made off at
his best speed in the direction Of the
boulevards. ~
The tables were now turned. If the
dictator was the stronger, Francis, in
the top of his youth, was the more
fleet Of foot, and he had soon effected

the Mortified young man 4 diamond Of
monstrous bigness and extraordinary
brilliancy. The circumstance was so
the value of the stone was
plainly so enormous, that Francis sat
staring into the open casket without
movement, without conscious thought,
like man stricken with idiocy
"A hand was laid upon his shoulder
lightly, but firmly, and quiet voice,
which yet had in it the ring of COM
mand, uttered these words in his ear:
"Close the casket and compose your
face"
Looking up, he beheld a man, still
young of an urbane and tranquil pres
ence and dressed with rich simplicity.
This parsonage had risen from neigh
boring table and, bringing his glass with
him, had taken seat beside Francis.
"Close the casket,'' repeated the stran-
ger, sand put it quietly back into your
pocket where feel persuaded it should
never have been. Try, if you please, to
throw off your Eewildered air and act
as though were one of your acquaint-
ances whom you had met by chance.
So! Touch glasses with me- That is
better fear, sir, you must be an am
ateur."
And the stranger pronounced these
last words with smile of peculiar
meaning, leaned back in his seat and
enjoyed a deep inhalation of tobacco.
"For Gods sake" said Francis, ''tell
me who you are and what this means?
Why I should obey your most unusual
suggestions I am sure know not, but
the truth is I have fallen this evening
into SO many perplexing adventures,
and all meet conduct themselves so
strangely, that I think I must either
have gone mad or wandered into anoth-
er planet. Your face inspires me with
confidence. You seem WISE good and
experienced Tell me- for heavens
sake, why you accost me in so odd a
fashion?''

ger. But I have the first hand, and

''Your father?" repeated the stranger.

els, with a flush.
The other bowed with gravity. It
was respectful bow, as of a man
silently apologizing to his equal, and
Francis felt relieved and comforted,
he scarce knew why. The society of
this person did him good. He seemed to
touch firm ground. A strong feeling
of respect grew up in his bosom and
mechanically he removed his wide

superior.

TAKE CHILDREN
FROM MOTHER
Police Matron Files Complaint
in Probate Court.
STEPFATHER is C0L0RED
Judge Wilson May Send Them
to Soldiers Home.
STEPFATHtR is C0LORED

Police Matron Ella Glenn Shields has
filed a case in the probate court that
under ordinary circumstances would
cause goou deal Of interest among some
people and indignation on the part of
others. She will ask Probate Judge VIII
son to take a 9-year-old girl and a Z
year-oId boy from their mother and send
them of to the Soldiers Home at Atchi-
son. OF course the mother objects.
It will be claimed at the trial by the
police matron and others who are urging
on this case. that Lizzie May White.
Minnie Alice White and Russell White
are the children Of an old soldier who
died about two years ago, and that their
ages in the order named are II, and Z
years: that on the 18th of last May the
probate court appointed Paul Brown to
collect pension claim for the children
named. and in order to do so he was
made their guardian.
It is now claimed that the mother Of
the children has been married to col
ored man named Wilson, who is addict
ed to the use of intoxicating liquors and
that they are not the proper persons to
have charge Of the children. The mother
and the children are white, and it is
claimed that some of the old soldiers in
the city have urged the police matron to
take this course to have the children
cared for.
The oldest child. which is a girl, II
years of age, is not included in this case
because she can not be found Some of
the officers claim that some time ago she
was an important witness in a case in
