most adore in him those qualities of heart
and mind which. she observed with dis
dain, few others possessed.
He had never visited the chateau more
than twice, and those visits had been
white stones in her life. She had remem-
bered and recalled them constantly in the
secluded and dreamy life she led there,
and now was-it matter Of wonder that,
after the passage Of months without hav-
ing seen him, she should look forward
with such eager emotions to his coming? !?
Yet, even when alone. in the solitude OF
her own apartment, she did not entirely
lay aside, even in the intense interest of
watching for him, that air of stately
pride, that guarded calmness of demean-
or which characterized her in society.
She knelt there by the easement, it is
true, waiting still, even till midnight; but
a thousand fearful emotions struggled in
her breast, of which she gave no outward
sign, or, at the most, but faint one.
A dark form seemed to catch her eye,
moving along rapidly through the path in
the valley, coming nearer and nearer,
while the clouds, passing still across the
moon, yelled it ever and anon in shadow.
Drawing nearer, till the soft silver radi-
ance of the night shone full upon both
horse and rider, and then there was only
a slight start-a quick, convulsive clasp
of the fair hand that rested on the cold
stone sill-a faint yet eager smile hover
ing about her beautiful lips, and fash
ing in those splendid eyes, as, softly MUIR
muring, cit is hep she rose from the
cushions on which she had knelt so long,
and closed the easement.

embracing the good marquis, as they met
in the saloon, on the morning following

The marquis smiled at his nephew's

see you. Let me welcome you to my old

fess I had rather have it from you than
any other, almost. But, now, how have
things been going on here since I saw

too much given to talking of yourself. I

but / desire to hear something relative

fare; so let me hear it before our coffee is
ready"
The young man gave his uncle sketch
of his haps and mishaps, to which the
good marquis listened very attentively,
and which occupied some few minutes,
when, just as he was finishing by men,
tioning his application at the cottage for
shelter, Helen Montauban entered.
She was beautiful and self-possessed
as ever. A calm smile parted her lips
and lighted her fine eyes, as she ap-
preached, and, saluting her father, gave

"Well, Monsieur Louis, I thank you.
And you?"

seated himself by her side.

CHAPTER III.

1t was on the night of the adventure
Of Count Louis that two men might have
been seen emerging from the forest and
directing their steps in the road to the
cottage Of Hugh Lamonte, which Louis
had left some ten minutes previously.s
One of these, the elder, was tall.
sturdy man, dressed in the coarse garb of
a peasant, and his features were by no
means displeasing. At present, they wore
look Of deep thought. an air almost Of
sternness, as he walked rapidly, and in
silence, listening to his companion. who
was speaking in low, but bitter and an
CRY tones, and evidently on some exciting
subject.
This man, whose dress was much the
same as that of the first, had a less pre-
possessing appearance than the other.
Like that of his companion, his counte-
nance was unshorn and rude; but the ex-
preston of the features was sinister and
forbidding, the features themselves,
apart from their expression, anything
but agreeable. You might have been
assured thousand times that he was
nothing more or less than a simple and
honest peasant, as he was generally un-
derstood to be; but for all that, you
would have disliked to meet this man on
the highway at midnight, or in the
depths of the forest from which he had
just emerged.
'I tell you," he was saying, venge-
fully-"I tell you, if have but the pow
er, will make him pay dear for this;
two of our best fellows disabled, and my
own brains nearly knocked out by that
arm Of his. Who would think it had SO
much strength
"Chut, Gsspardep' said the other, a
little sternly; ''do you want to show your
claws? Better speak little lower, if
you don't want to put your neck in dan

must have found out before he started
that somebody had drawn his teeth. All,

had dozen like him in the band, it
would be worth something, captain. As
it is, I'll take care he doesn't do us any
harm, now that he has got off. Ii you

frown.
''What do you say, then, captain?'
asked his companion.

as they reached the cottage.
"And Mademoiselle Rose waiting for
her father, no doubt" added the other.

handling Of young pigs it is that they
need sun and exercise, both in con-
siderable quantities. An ideal pasture
for young pigs is place that may be
fenced OF from the main pasture
where there is one or more trees
which will provide shade, but where
there will also be large space Of
comparatively dry ground, in grass, on
which the pigs may run. If there is
white clover in the grass, SO much the
better for the pigs, and they will need
less corn. Sun and exercise will pre-
vent thumps, which disease usually
means death.

COMPOSITION OF THE BRAIN.

Same Sort Of Material IL in Nerve Cells
as in Other Parts Of the Body.
Whether it be the brain cell of a
glow-worm Or one trembling with the
harmonies Of Tristan and Isolde, the
stuff it is made Of is much the same;
it is difference in structure, appar-
emily, rather than Of material. And
the chemical difference between a
brain or nerve cell and that of the
muscles or the skin seems reducible
mainly to q difference In the proper
ton Of two substances-water and
phosphorus. Lean beef, for example,
is from 70 to 80 per cent water; the
brain is from 30 to 95 per cent water.
And a brain or nerve cell nav con-
tains from five to ten times as much
phosphorus as, let us SAY, the cells Of
the liver or the heart. The actual
quantity Is. Of course, extremely small
by weight but a fraction of / per
cent.
About three pounds avoirdupois Of
this very complex phosphorized stuff
make up an average human brain.
There is a lot more of it distributed
down ones spinal column, and little

part extremely minute, though some

It Is announced from Fort Leaven-
worth that the government Is taking
notice of army officers who married
Filipino girls after the loose fashion
of the islands and then abandoned
them The particular case 10 one In
which q young officer became engaged

that this officer had lived with a FIN
pino girl near Manila after some sort

worth girl is said to have no objec.
tions to the facts in the case, and will
marry her lover when he gets q di-
vorce from his Filipino wife.
However, there is nothing particular.
ly new In the revela tons with respect
to "morganatic" marriages by United
States army officers. Before the civil
war it was almost the customary thing
for officers stationed in Oregon OF
Washington Territory to consort with
Indian girls. At Tacoma or Seattle
the visitor often has pointed out to him
~
some of the most distinguished Of our
civil war generals and who are known
to be the sons or daughters Of these
officers. It Is explained that when
these officers were young lieutenants
they were stationed In the wilds OF
the Northwest, far from the society
of women of their own kind; that they
needed houJekeepers; that 1t was the
custom of the region for white men to
consert with Indian maidens; that, ac-
cording to Indian standards, there was
nothing wrong about it, and that from
every standpoint it was advantageous
to the girl taken for temporary wife.
At the little town Of Puyallup, ten
miles from Tacoma, there are two fine
looking men who bear the name OF
general who for a long time was at
the head of the quartermaster's depart
ment Of the United States army. These
men are the sons Of the general. He
married the mother, a Puyallup In
dian. when he was a lieutenant and
stationed at the Puyallup Indian agen-
CIV. long before the civil war. In later
years he married an American woman
in the far East and raised a family.
But he did not abandon his family on
the Pacific coast His sons were taken
East and put through one Of the lead
ing colleges. He frequently visited
them and openly acknowledged them.
On one occasion, at least, he was ac-
companied by his American wife, who
seemed to know the circumstances and
to have accepted them philosophically
His Indian wife lived for some years
after he had married his American
spouse. though he never visited her.
But old timers about Tacoma will tell
the visitor how he made her old age
comfortable, while caring as a father
should for the sons of their marriage.

At that moment, however, the coffee
was brought in, and the subject was
abandoned. After the mornings repast
was concluded, Louis drew his fair cous-
in out upon the paved terrace before the
windows of the saloon, where they could
sit conversing, while the early sunshine

She seemed even unusually lovely, too,

face to him, she smiled, with more than
