nothing to give notice, Matilda heard
a step. She let James letter drop to
her feet and stood facing the door
with hands dropped and tightly
clasped.
A moment later the footsteps were
very distinct; they were ascending the
stairway quickly, peremptorlly. A per
fectly ravishing light spread itself
over Matildas face. Then the door
flew open and Prince Rupert entered;

Matilda leaned towards him till their

upon which neither Russia nor Japan

Bethel Granite the Best.

No one has doubted that the stock
from the E. b. Ellis Granite company's
quarries in Bethel was the finest stone
on the market for building purposes but
the question as to whether il could be
sold in competition with the Maine stone
has been raised, as it has been argued
that the stock from Maine has the ad-
vantage of low freightage by water.
One of the leading manufacturers of
monumental work from Maine was in
Mortified last week and in speaking of
this matter said he recently saw build
ing in New York city that had been con-
structed from Bethel granite and that
without exception it was the handsomest
masonry building he had ever seen. He
also asserted that this granite was going
to occupy the same leading place in the
building world that Barre granite does
in the monumental and that it would be
demanded for building purposes at an
advance in price over other stock that
would more than make up the difference
in freight rates. Mortified News

served up to them chicken supper,

AS a matter of fact.> however. M. Bris-

bre" is a widower and childless, but his
distinguished "chief of the cabinet"
Jacques Girard, has two little olive
branches. and by them "Bison," as he is
known to the small Albert and Suzanne,
is regarded as just about the best fell
low in the world. Often he spends hours
in making nonsense rhymes for them,
and some of these presidential efforts
would not disgrace Carroll himself.
Brisson really is an amateur verse
writer of no small ability, good many
OF his sonnets having found their way
into print. He also is an enthusiast on
the subject of poetic drama. His
friends declare that he can recite both
Hermann" and "Ruy Bias" with as
much facility as Mounet-Sully. who plays
them; and he has Moliere at his fingers
ends. One of NJ. Brisson's few boasts
is that, in his youth, he could deliver
Racine's "Iphigenie" fom beginning to
end.
He is nearly as strenuous as the presi-
dent of the United States, and is like Mr..
Roosevelt in having a habit of taking
his friends out for walks, and, forget
ting that they are less energetic than
himself. bringing them back in state
Of collapse. The other day, some
miles from the end of one Of these walks,
the presidents confrere, NJ. Steinilber,
elected to follow ingloriously in cab.
Brisson rises at five o'clock every morn
ing, summer and winter alike. Old
man as he is, he still fences every day,
and all his writing is done standing at
his desk. Though the recent sessions
of the chamber have been extended far
into the night, and been exceedingly
stormy, the president has not yet missed
"seance," and it is not at all likely
that the vice president will be over
worked.
M. Brisson is great authority on
political economy. Several years ago
he travelled extensively both in Egypt
and the Holy Land. and the fortunate
folk who received letters from him
while on his wanderings declare that
their wit, insight and general literary
quality made them we'll worth being
preserved in print.
