 But we shall not be rich, Madame! We are ruined, ruined! Mon Dieu! we poor folk! We had the hope to be persons of quality. Iris all the work of this william Jean Las. May the bastille get him, or the people, and make him pay for thia!"
 Stop! Enough of this. Marie!" said tle Lady Catharine, sternly. After this have better wisdom, and do not meddle in things which you do not understand"
 Yet scarce had the girl departed before there appeared again the sound of running steps, and presently there broke, equally unannounced, into the presence of his mistress, the coach man, fresh from his stables and none too careful of his garb. Tears ran down his cheeks. He flung out his hands with gestures as of one de- mented.
 The news!" cried he. ''The news, my lady! The horrible news! The system has vanished, the shares arc going down!"
 Fellow, what do you here?" said Lady Catharine. Why do you come with this same story which Marie has just brought to me? Can you not learn your placer"
 But, my lady, you do not under stand!" reiterated the man blankly. "'Tis all over. There is no Messasebe; there is no longer any system, no longer any Company of the Indies. There Is no longer wealth for the stretching out of the hand. Iris all over. I must, go back to horses-I, Madame, who should presently have associated with the nobility"
 Well, and if so," replied his mis- tIess, "I can say to you, as have to Marie, that there will still be money for your wages"
 Wages! My faith, what trifes, my lady! This Monsieur Las, the di- rector-general, he it is who has ruined us! Well enough 1t is that the square in front of his otel is filed with peo- pie! Presently they will break down his doors. And then, pray God they punish him for this that he has done!"
 The cheek of Lady Catharine paled and sudden flush of contending emo- tions crossed her mind. You do not tell me that Monsieur Las Is in danger. Pierre?" said she.
 "Assuredly. Perhaps within the very hour they will tear down his doors and rend him limb from limb There Is no punishment which can serve him right him who has ruined our pretty, pretty system. Mon Dieu! It was so beauti- full"
 'Is this news certain?"
 Assuredly most certain. Why should it not be? The entire square in front of the Hotel de Soisson is packed.

CHAPTER xLI.
By Y EMERSON Fl OUCH

THE BREAKING OF TTIE BUBBLE.
 It was the evening Of the day fol- lowing that on which John Law and the regent of France had met in tn cir stormy interview. During the morning but little had transpired regarding the significant events of the previous day. In these vast and excited crowds, di- vided into groups and cliques and fac tions. aided by no bulletins, counseled by no printed page, there was but lit tic cohesion of purpose, since there was little unity of understanding. The price of shares at one kiosk might be certain thousands of livres. whereas square away. the price might vary by half as many liyres; so impetuous was the advance of these continually ris- ing prices. and so frenzied and careless the temper of those who barsained for them.
 Yet before noon of the day following the decree of the regent, which fixed the value of actions upon descending scale, the news, after fashion of its own spread rapidly abroad, and all too swiftly the truth was generally known. The story started in a rumor that shares had been offered and declined at price which had been current but few moments before. This was some 0hing which had not been known in all these feverish months of the Messa- sehe. Then came the story that shares could not be counted upon to realize over 5000 livres. At that the price of all the actions dropped in a flash, as Law had proph hesied. A sudden wave of sanity, a panic chill of sober under standing swept over this vast multi tude of still unreasoning souls who had traded so long upon this impossible supposition of an ever-advancing mar ket. Reason still lacked among them, yet fear. and sudden suspicion were not wanting. Man after man hastened swiftly away to sell privately his shares before greater drop in the price might come. He met others upon the same errand.
 Precisely the reverse of the old sit llation now obtained. AS all Paris had fought to buy. so now all Paris fought to sell. The streets were filled with clamoring mobs. If earlier there had been confusion, now there was pande- monium. Never was such scene witt messed. Never was there chronicled 50 swift and utter reversion of emotion in the minds of a great concourse of people. Bitter indeed was the wave of
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1904-01-29

agony that swept over Paris. It began at the Messasebe, in the gardens of the Hotel de Soisson, at that focus hard by the temple of Fortuna. It spread and spread, edging out into all the re- moter portions of the walled city. It reached ultimately the extreme con- fines of Paris. Into the crowded square which had been decreed as the trading-place of the Messasebe sys- tenn, there crowded from the outer pur- lieus yet other thousands of excited human beings. The end had come. The bubble had burst. There was no longer any system of the Messasebe!
 It was late in the day, in fact we'll on toward night, when the knowledge of the crash came into the neighbor- hood where dwelt the Lady Catharine Knollys. To her the news was brought by a servant, who excitedly burst unannounced into her mistress presence.
 Madame! Madame!" she cried. Prepare! Iris horrible! 'Tis inn possible! All Is at an end!"
 What mean you, girl!' cried Lady Catharine. displeased at the disrespect.
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1904-01-29

Unless my lady needs me, myself must hasten thither to aid in the pun- ishment of this Jean L'as!"
 You will stay here,' said Lady Catharine. Wait! There may be need! For the present, go!'
 Left alone, Lady Catharine stood for a moment pale and motionless, in the center of the room. She strode then to the window and looked fixedly out. Her whole figure was tense, rigid. Wonder. over there, across the gabled roofs of Paris, they were clamoring at the door of him who had given back Paris to the king, and France again to it's people. They were assailing him this man so long unfaltering, so in- sistent on his ambitions, so-so stead fast! Could she call him steadfast
 A quick, hard sob broke, from her throat. Tn haste she flew, now to one part of the room, now to another, pick ing up first this article and then that which seemed of need. And so at last she hurried to the bell-cord.
 Quick" cried she, as the servant at length appeared. Quick! Do not delay an instant! My carriage at once!"

What is happening? Is there fire: And even if rAafe were, could you not remember yous Guty more seemly tha this?"
 Worse, worse than fire, Madame. Worse than anything! The bank has failed! The shares of the system are going down!

We are all ruined And within month was to have been married to the foot man of the Marquis d'Allouez, who has bought himself a title this very week."

A clever entertainment was given last
evening in the university chapel by the
freshmen and sophomore rhetoric classes
of the university. The affair was under the
direction Of Professor T. T. Thomas and
it's success may make it an annual event.
The freshmen gave the farce, s'Six Cups Of
Chocolate and those who took part were
Misses Hazel Brown, Grace Weitzel, Rose
Marie Schaller, Vera Cole, katherine De
Veau and Marion Barber. The sophomores
gave "Mr. Bob," with Misses Grace Panst,
Neva McElroy, Hattie Van Bergen, Maude
Stewart Bliss, Messrs. William Dawson,
Carleton Miles and Dana Easton in the
cast. The parts in both plays were well
taken and the stage setting and the cos
tuning were all that could have been de-
sired.

CITY NEWS.
OBJECT TO PAYING
HIGHER WAGES
BUILDERS FILE PROTEST
AGAINST PROPOSED PLAN.
They Declare That City Laborers Are
Getting just Wages Now-Mr.
Lowry's Petition for Vacation of
Streets Referred to Committee
Theater License Applications Also
Referred.

Builders are much agitated over the
proposition Of the city council to raise
the wages Of the city laborers from
$l.75 to 81 per day, and at last nights
meeting Of the city council presented
formal protest against the adoption
of Nels j. Nelson's resolution. The
Builders and Traders Exchange has
also named a committee consisting of
W. A. Elliott, H. N. Leighton, w. G.
and N. w. Nelson to attend the meet
ings Of the special committee to which
the resolution was referred.
The builders declare that the city
laborers are being paid as much if
not more than laborers in the same
lines who are working for private en-
ployers; also that the reduction in the
number of hours was granted at the
request of the men themselves and
they are not entitled to a greater or
higher scale per hour under an eight
than under ten-hour schedule. More
over, they say that the change will
impose an additional burden on the
long suffering taxpayers and the or
ganized efforts to bleed the treasury
might as well be stopped now as at
any other time.
Petitions from Thomas Lowry ask
ing for the vacation of the streets in
Lowry's East Side addition, which lies
between Johnson and D. streets and
Fourteenth and Eighteenth avenues
NE, and for permission to lay two
spur tracks from the Northern Pacific
railway to this tract were received
and referred to the proper committees.
The applications for theater licenses
for the Columbia and Park theaters
were referred to the committee on
licenses.

AFRAID OF THE CARS
Robblnsdale Merchants Think Anoka Line
Mould Hurt Trade.

Opposition to the proposed Minneapolis
Anoka line planned by the Minnesota
Power & Trolley company is manifesting
itself in the village of Robbinsdale, and
may result in changing the route Of the
line to the east side of the river.
The Robbinsdale merchants have here
tofore gotten not a little revenue from
the farmers living to the north, who have
left their teams in the village while they
have taken the cars into town, and have
then made their several purchases upon
their return. This revenue, the villagers
believe, would be cut off by the building
Of the thru trolley line.
The promoters Of the company say that
East Siders are alive to the value Of the
line and are ready to offer bonus OF
$4,000 to have the line go to Anoka via
New Boston, -.
