Brest and the Chateau de Josselin
had been passed in animated CONVEX
satiOn and the acquaintance which
had begun on the decks of lie Thesee
under such strange auspices. HAD mp
encd into a pleasant intimacy The
dashing young American sailor had
been attracted by the evidences OF cul-
ture. the keen but kindly humor, the
rich stores Of knowledge, possessed
by the marquis; and The latter had
been touched by the pleasant defer
ence and open frankness, as we'll as
the Shrewd common sense and grace
tul manner, Of his young companion.
When they arrived before the gate
OF the castle as the sun had set the
drawbrldge was raised AS they
waited for it TO be lowered in answer
to the marquis hail the young man
remarked that il all seemed quite
mediaeval. fitting in appropriately
with the wild surroundings and the
barren shore.
Monsieur" answered the marquis,
gravely, as If fearing covert jest, Il
keep, SO far as | can, the state of my
forefathers. This is my domain" he
continued. as they rode through the
ranks OF the guards who had been
paraded underneath the great gate
way and who were dressed in quaint
outlandsh costumes which reminded
Grafton Of the pictures in some old
book, this is my castle, these my re-
tainers. Here my will is law. Within
these walls I am supreme, saving only
the feudal rights Of my over-lord and
master, His Most Christian Majesty
whom God preserve. While you are
here. monsieur. the castle is yours.
You are free to come and go where
you will within the walls, and should
you not attempt to pass the gate. you
will find nothing to remind you that
you are prisoner, So securely guard
ed is my castle, Monsieur Grafton,
that | do not even ask yon for your
parole. You hear, Jean Renaud?" he
added, turning TO the sergeant Of the
guard, Monsieur Grafton is an Amer
lean gentleman who honors our poor
house by accepting its hospitality.
Mark you--and YOU. too. monsieur,
pray give heed-he Is free TO go any
where but over the walls or through
the gate. See to it, anRenaud, that
in no case is he allowed to escape.
lou will forgive the necessity for
these orders Monsieur Grafton, but
| am responsible for you. ~The chate-
laine?' he added turning again to

After partaking Of generous re-

the castle, Grafton, now attended by

room richly and comfortably fur

looked the garden. He was Informed

PEASANT WOMEN IN JAPAN.

OF artistic basting. There Is reason in
this. for whenever the kimono is wash

the Chinese. who battle sometimes.
wear such clean clothes. The klmono
strips are dabbed up and down with
out soap. scrubbed with a brush and
are ironed by drying them carefully on
boards One Of the sights of n town
are these boards, with their strips OF
silk leaning against the sides Of the

The peasant women not only do the
housework but out of door work as
we'll. Like the coolies, they wear trou-
sers and stand knee deep In the slush
of the nee paddles, guide the water

straw to dry on the trees. This is the

tie granddaughter for comfort and
consolation. AS the days sped away
the child intrenched herself more and
more in the old mans heart He with
drew himself from the world in which
he had been so great and gay figure
and devoted himself asaiduously to her
welfare.
Little Anne, Countess dc Rohan in
her own right. lived alone with her
grandfather in the old Chateau dc
Josselin. Save when unavoidably
called away on business connected with
the management Of his estates he rare
~ left her. He watched over her with
the solicitude Of moth or and the de-
votion Of lover. The withered old
man Rew to love her as few children
were then loved-certainly with such
o feeling az few Frenchmen Of rank at
that day ever exhibited toward child.
She was the sole hciress TO all his pos
sessions. the last OF that branch of her
ancient house, and he lavished upon
her a depth of tenderness and wealth
OF affection which surrounded her with
an atmosphere of alteration
Loath to part with her, instead OF
committing her education to one OF the
great conventual sch ools, as was the
custom among the noblesse OF the
country, he supervised il himself.
Her growing mind afforded him new
food for wonder daily. her present en-
crossed his mind her future filled bis
dreams. AS he was ono Of the most
accomplished gentlemen Of his time,
AND had been a man OF the world T.
the highest and best sense of the WORD,
she received such training as had not
often been bestowed upon young
demoiselle Of France
In but one particular. indeed, the old
mans scheme Of education, in the
carrying out of which he was assisted
by the best masters that money could
procure, might have been deemed
faulty. The marquis. as he grew old,
lived more and more in the past--and
as he went back ward in time he took
the little maid back with him.
The same strange fancy which led
him to restore medieval usages and
customs as far az possible and which
made his favOrite study the ancient
tales of chivalry. the stories of the
/ hardy adventurous knights like the
great du Guescl!n some Of whose blood
indeed ran in his veins, gave an I'M
usual turn to the thoughts OF his
granddaughter. She, like him, was
stepped in the romantic lore of an
cient days. The traditions OF their an
Client house, the deeds of daring, de-
votion. and courage which had made
the do Rohans illlstrious. were as IA
miliar TO her as fairy tales and childish
rhymes gre to other children Her
own maidenly vision dimly compre-
hcnded the future through the windows
Of the past.
It was to this ancient chateau with
its suggestion Of history. its atmos-
phere OF romance, and its Breton wild
rose, scarcely reaching the dignity of
bud yet but still inclosed in the
soft calyx of innocence and inexperi-
ence, that Grafton was brought at the
request of de Kersaint through the
compaisance OF the marquis.
