CHAPTER VII.

CONTAINING SCENES CHIEFLY
FEMININE THAT TEND TO PROVE
THAT PITY Is AKIN TO LOVE.
If the storm brought broken CHM
ney-pots and puddly streets to the city
of Paris, it bore renewed brightness to
the flowers and a fresher green to the
early summer verdure of the country
outside; and to no spot did it bring
newer life and greater gladness to
flower and shrub than to Choisy
Mademoiselle.
This princely estate lay about 21@
leagues from Paris on the road to Or
leans. The broad Seine flowing past
the lowermost of it's terraces, the
hundred-acre park about the house "a
fair expanse of green turf broken here
and there by the varied trees and
bushes set out by the most famous
landscape gardener of the age), the
woods on either side trimmed into an
exact resemblance of each other, made
it seem a veritable glimpse of paradise
to the dust-laden traveller as he urged
on his tired horse toward the city.
This was the favorite summer home

high as Choisy. So well known was her
that not even the king himself would
have ventured to intrude without a
cousinly invitation. Hither came by
special favor a few choice spirits,
Corneille or Racine to read a new play;
Mansard to show her the plans for a
new palace he was building for the
king (Mademoiselle affected to patron
ize the arts); or perhaps a bevy OF
feminine friends brimming over with
gossip of the court.
Mademoiselle was by nature a bun
die of contradictions. Understanding
politics, she had small capacity for
ruling; ostentatious in the distribu-
ton of her wealth without being char
liable; shrewd in judgment, yet so
blinded by conceit that all the world
looked on and laughed at her folly; of
warlike disposition Ga hundred times
more leader or general than her
father, yet with woman's heart, and
in her better, softer moments display
ing a gentleness truly feminine.
Fairly good-looRing she was, despite
the long Bourbon nose; tall, shapely,
with really beautiful hair; eyes blue,
mouth firm, and a finely moulded
shoulder. She had withal an air OF
command that bespoke royal blood
She was of the court, courtly; unbend-
ing only at times and allowing famil-
iarity in none, save her lady-in-w wait
ing, or companion as she chose to call
her.

whole earth was brighter for it's

could show. With this regal air she

cestors. Passing its length, she EN-

which was the door leading to her own

nolselessly, she stopped and gazed long
and earnestly at some object within.
Gradually her expression changed.
Her queenliness was gone, gone her
majesty, and the womanliness which
overcame but seldom her proud i'm
perious nature clothed her as with a
different garment.
The only occupant of the room was
young girl, barely 19, who reclined
in an easy-chair near the open window.
She was clothed in white gown of
thin silk, with gold stars and leaves
in Persian stitch scattered over it;
pale pink sash was tied in large knot
below her bosom. She was tall and
slender, with that grace of repose and
freedom of action that is only gained
by healthful country life. Her hair,
light brown and fine of texture, rip
pied about her temples in a variety of
natural waves, falling over her shoul-
ders in long ringlets; eyes that showed
a brown deeper than that of her hair;
soft lashes that partly veiled, partly

This was mademoiselle's constant
companion, Renee d'Outrelaise. only
daughter of a noble of Poitou, long of
lineage, but poor in purse. The ambi-
tion of her mother for her daughters
advancement had led her, much
against the old comte's wishes, to
send her to Paris to an influential
friend, in order that she might become
attached as lady-in-waiting to one of
the royal household. Mademoiselle
had seen her soon after her arrival
and had taken her as her personal at
| tendant.
Struck by the nobility of thought
and character soon displayed by her
| protege, she chose to keep her alto
gether from the noxious vapors Of
| court life and allow the budding flower
to develop uncontaminated within the
| bounds Of her own presence. Her es-
pecial fear was that her royal cousin,
| the king, becoming enamored of the
| freshness of her beauty, should seek
to pluck this blossom for his own re-
freshment as he had so often done be-
| fore. Hence it was that Renee fol-
| lowed her patroness from castle to

PROBABLY ACCIDENTAL.
Latest Theory as to Cause of Death
of Mrs. Stanford,

Honolulu, March 13.-The theory
has been suggested here that Mrs.
Stanford's death was accidental. An
overdose of strychnine might, it is
pointed out, have been taken intention
ally as tonic. The slight amount of
strychnine indicated in the bicarbon-
ate of soda has suggested this theory
A local chemist has estimated that the
strychnine in half teaspoonful of the
bicarbonate of soda was less than one
hundredth of grain, Judging by the
analysis of the rest of the bottle. The
contents of the capsules which were
prescribed for Miss Berner probably
contain more strychnine than wou d
be safe for person of Mrs. Stanford 8
years The chemist above referred to
says that if Mrs. Stanford took two of
these capsules for their tonic effect a
fatal result cwas not impossible.
