In that curious code of morals which
obtains in certain classes of society
a man may be a gentleman and not
pay his tailor, but man may not be a
gentleman if he neglects to pay the
debts he has incurred over game of
cards to one who may have no need
for the money. A man may lie, often
and adversely, and yet be gentleman;
in fact that very question of how thor
ough a gentleman he is sometimes de-
ponds upon the deXterity and efficiency
of his lies A few faults he should
not commit He must not steal, for
example, and he must wear clean linen.
He must not falsify unnecessarily, only
upon those occasions which particular
ly demand it. If he can possibly help
it he must not be a coward. In this
country he should not marry for
money, though in Europe that is not
only condoned, but looked upon as
quite permissible, If not commercially

by retaining all as his friends. :!

THE EVENING OF THE YEAR.

When the mists are on the bayou.
In the evening of the year,
Then I see torrent rushing
Through a canyon, and 1 hear,
Where a bowlder seeks to stop ii,
Its fierce growing undertone;
Then my heart is in the valleys,
By the hills that were my own.
When the mists are on the bayou
- Then my eyes are misty, too.
And the wide green plains and rolling,
Swiftly changing to the view,
Bring the sheer cliff by the river
Where the trout and grayling are.
And the ragged birch is waving
From each jagged cliff and scar.
oh, it's then through eyes grown misty
Comes a picture long grown dim,
OF the pool below the hemlock
Where a boy learned to swim;
OF the alders by the river
Where we cut our fishing poles.
And old secrets come back to me
OF the lucky fishing holes.
oh, it's just along in winter
In the evening of the year,
When know the frost is changing
Ev'ry mountain scar and mere,
That feel a sort of Juggling
At my heartstrings, yes 1 do,
And look through eyes grown misty
Down valley that 1 knew.

CHAPTER XXXVIII.

THE LITTLE SUPPER OF THE RE
GENT
Paris, city of delights; Paris, drunk
with gold, mad with the delirium of
excuses, Paris with no aim except
joy, no method but extravaganza, held
within her gilded gates one citadel of
sensuality which remained ever an OBJ
ject of mystery, source of curiosity
even in that dissipated and pleasure
stated city. In the Palais Royal, back
of the regally beautiful gardens, back
of the noble rows of trees, beyond the
gates of iron and the guards in uni
form, lived Frances regent, in a city
of libertines the prince of libertines.
In city where there were more mis-
tresses than wives, he it was who led
the list of the licentious. In a city of
unregulated vice and yet of exquisite
ly ordered taste, h it was who accord
ed to himself daily pleasures which
were admittedly beyond rerroach.
How unspeakably unbridled, how de-
lightfully wicked. how temptingly in
genious in their features the little
suppers of the regent might be-these
were matters of curious interest to
all, of intimate knowledge to but few.
1t was one of these famous yet mys-
FERROUS gatherings that the regent of
France had invited the master of that
great and glittering bubble house,
wherein dwelt so insecurity the affairs
of France. John Law, director-general
of the finances, controller of the Com
pany of the Indies, was chosen by
Philippe of Orleans for a position not
granted to the crafty Dubois or to the
shrewd D'Argenson, the last of that
strange trinity who made his council.
John Law, gallant, graceful, owner of
a reputation as wit and beau scarce be-
hind that of his sudden fame as finan-
cier, was admitted not only to the BUSH
ness affairs of the gay duke. but to his
pleasures as well. To him. and his
brother Will, still associated in large
measure in the stupendous operations
of the director-general, there came the
invitation of the regent, practically the
command of the king. to join the re-
gent after the opera for a little supper
at the Palais Royal.
Law would have excused himself
from this unsought honor. Your grace

The man who is proof against temp

who is the man?
There are a hundred different ways
to tell lie-but there is only one way
to tell the truth.

telling our sorrow; it makes others

Historic Iron Jail.

Douglas county is erecting a new
courthouse and Jail and the old iron
jail built at Lawrence in 1859 will soon
be abandoned. 1t was famous as the
first iron Jail west of the Missouri
river. 1t was contracted for in 1859
and built in Pennsylvania under the
supervision of Capt John G.. Haskell,
the well-known Kansas architect. 1t
came by steamboat down the Ohio. up
the Missouri, and then up the Kaw-

workmen commenced to set it up on
the morning of one of the hottest
days of that hottest year recorded in
Kansas history. Capt Haskell says
the iron was so hot it could not be-
handled with the naked hands. On
the July morning when the workmen
set up the first beams the THERMOMETERS.

Jail was completed 1t became the de-

outside. Twice in little wooden pen
