"Go on with your dinner, Grandet,"
said the banker. 1--WE can have a little
chat. Have you heard what gold is

But gold is at thirteen francs fifty

Say was at a premium. l went over
to Anglers myself last night" Grandet
told him in low voice.
The banker started, and whispered
conversation followed both des Gras-
sins and Grandet looked at Charles from
time to time, and once more q gesture of
surprise escaped the banker, doubtless at
the point when the old cooper commits
stoned him to purchase rentes to bring in
hundred thousand livres.

Charles replied.
you must thank him more heartily
than that nephew. This gentleman is
going to wind ~ your fathers business
and settle with his creditors"
"Then is there any hope of coming
to an arrangement" asked Charles.
why, are you not my nephew cried
the cooper, with a fine assumption of
pride. Our honor is involved; is not
your name Grandet?"
Charles rose from his chair. impulsive-
ly flung his arms about his uncle. turned
pale and left the room. Eugene looked
at her father with affection and pride in
her eyes.
well, let US say good by, my good
friend" said Grandet. Il am very much
at your service. Try to get round those
fellows over yonder."
The two diplomatists shook hands, and
the cooper went to tie door with his
neighbor; he came back to the room
again when he had closed the door on
des Grassins, flung himself down in his
easy chair.
The next morning, at the O'clock
breakfast, the party seemed for the first
time almost like one family. Nine. Gran
Diet, Eugene and Charles had been
drawn together by these troubles, and
Nanon herself unconsciously felt with
them. As for the old vine grower, he
scarcely noticed his nephew's presence in
the house, his greed of gold had been
satisfied, and he was very shortly 10 be
quit OF this young sprig by the cheap
and easy expedient of paying his
nephew's travelling expenses as far as
Nantes.
Charles and Eugene meanwhile were
free % do what seemed to them good.
They were under Nine. Grandets eyes,
and Grandet reposed complete faith in
his wife in all matters of conduct and
religion. Moreover, he had other things
TO think Of; his meadows were to be
drained and row of poplars was to be
planted along the Loire, and there was
all the ordinary winter work at Froid-
fond and elsewhere; in fact. he wars ex-

HEAT N NOTION.

Various Theories About the Connec-
tion These Agent.
The idea that heat is a kind of motion
was entertained by Plato, who makes
Socrates say: For heat and fire which
generate and sustain other things are
themselves begotten by impact and
friction. but this Is motion. Are not
these the origin Of hre?"
Bacon defined heat to be "a motion
acting in it's strife upon the smaller
particles of bodies" Newton, Boyle
and Hooke considered heat to be mo-
ton. Locke described it as "a very
brisk agitation Of the insensible parts
Of the objects which produces to US
that sensation from whence we demon
mate the object hot; so what in our
sensation is heat in the object is moth
ing but motion. This appears by the
way heat is produced. for we see that
the rubbing Of a brass nail upon a
board will make it very hot"
Many scientific men have held heat
to be matter. and in spite of Rumford's
vigorous exposition Of It's fallacy this
material theory held its ground until a
comparatively recent date, when Sir 81.
Davy took up the subject and by his
experiments proved conclusively that
this view is unsound.

these animals Is hemlock browse. They

The hemlock is their pasture, and
