do. The street-lamps were all
lighted, and whatever he did must
be done quickly.
"'Twasn't stealin'-'twas just

louder and louder he heard the
voice call, Thief! theft" and
finger seemed to point at him;
while another voice cried Cow

1t was settled-no knight should
be worthy of the name of coward.
Up town he turned again, hurry

grew, and he felt as if every one

CHAPTER XII
MASTER AND NAN.

John Law, idle, preoccupied, sat
gazing out at the busy scenes of the
street before him. The room in which
he found himself was one of a suite in
that magnificent Hotel de Scissor,
bought but recently Of the Prince de
Carignan for the sum of 1,4OO, 1000
livres, which had Of late been chosen
as the temple Of Fortuna. The great
gardens of this distinguished site were
now filed with hundreds of tents and
kiosks, which offered quarters for the
wild mob of spectators which surged
and swirled and fought throughout the
narrow avenues, contending for the
privilege Of buying the latest issue of
the priceless shares of the Company Of
the Indies.
The system was at its height. The
bubble was blown to its last limit.
The popular delirium had grown to its
last possible degree.
From the window these mad mobs
Of Infatuated human beings might have

about as though their home had been
destroyed above their heads. They
fastened as though. fleeing from the
breath of some devouring flame. Sure
ly the point Of flame was there, at
that focus Of Paris, this focus of all
Europe; and thrice refined was the
quality Of this heat, burning out the
hearts Of those distracted ones.

Courage of nm Artist.

When, after days of desperately hard
work, Eugene Delacroix finished his
first academy picture he found that
he did not have any money with which
to buy frame. Without it the pic
ture could not be admitted to the
salon and the young artist was de-
termined that it should have a place
there. So he set to work to manufac-
ture a frame. At last the picture was
sent up to be exhibited surrounded by
four planks daubed with colors.
When, a few days later, Delacroix
went to search for his picture in the
small rooms set apart for the efforts
Of young artists, it was not to be found
there. One Of the keepers, who no.
ticed his disappointment, inquired if it
were he who sent the picture with the
board frame. On learning that it was,
he said: "The committee would not
have your planks. The chairman or
