Waterbury evening Democrat., 1904-11-25

We could hear in the cabin behind us whining like that uttered by a fretful babe.
 My rage at the potter ending in good nature, moved to make some amends for my haste, but he backed off.
 "You startled us" said the other man, standing up in the clouds like ghosts. And your resemblance to one who has been dead many years is very striking, monsieur"
 said was sorry if I had kicked the potter without warrant, but it seemed to me a base act to hesitate when help was asked for woman.
 "Yet I know little of what is right among men, monsieur" I owned. 'I have been learning with a master in Count de Chaumont's manor house less than year. Before that my life was spent in the woods with the Indians, ands they found me so dull that was considered witless until my mind awoke."
 ''You are fine felIow,n the man said. laying his hands on my shoul- ders. My heart goes out to you. You may call me Louis Philippe. And what may call youY
 ssIaxarre"
 He had smiling good face, square, but we'll curved and firm. Now that saw him fronting me could trace his clear eyebrows, high forehead and the laughter lines down his cheeks. He was long between the eyes and mouth, and he had full and resolute chin. .
 '.You are not fat, Lazarre,'' said Philippe, your forehead is wide rath- CT than receding, and you have not a double chin Otherwise you are the image of one Who are you?''
 'I don't know"
 Don't know who you are?''
 ''No. We heard all that you and 4he, potter were saying down here, and I wondered how many boys there are in America that are provided for through an agent in New York, without know ing their parents. Now, that is my case"
 DO you say you have lived among the Indiansg'
 "Yess among the Iroquois."
 .''Who placed you thereY
 .sNo one could tell me except my Indian father, and he would not tell"
 Do you remember nothing of your childhpodY' . Nothing"
 Did you ever see Bellenger before ?'
 T never saw him before tonight"
 'sBut saw him." said Mime. de Fer Tier, fin London when I was about sevens years old: sItS made "a Stronger impression on me than anything else that ever happened in my life except -she stopped except the taking of of my mother and brothers to the gull lotine."
 The man who told me to call him Louis Philippe turned toward her with attention as careful as his avoidance rose and came around the fire, mak- ing deep courtesy.
 My family may not be unknown to his royal highness the Duke of Or leans. We are De Terriers of Mont Louis, emigres now like many others"
 Madame, I knew your family we'll They were loyal to their kfng.''
 My father died here in America. Before we sailed we saws this man in London"
 And with him.
 "A boy"
 Do you remember the boy well?"
 1T remember him perfectly"
 The wailing in the cabin became louder and turned to insistent howls. Instead of a babe, the imprisoned creature was evidently dog. I won- dered that the potter did not let him out to warm his hide at the fire.
 "Did you ever see the boy again T'
 "I did not see him again until he was brought to Count de Chaumont's house last summer"
 "Why to De Chaumont7 Le Ray de Chaumont Is not one of us. He is of the new nobility. His chateau near Blcis was bought by his grandfather, and he takes his name from the estate. have heard he is in favor with Bona parte,
 Even we of the old nobility, prince. may be reduced to seek favor of Bona parte."
