and warning, for the man, still half
turned in his saddle, and regarding
Tonti with menacing air, did not see
tnat his horse was about to collide
with the chair and its bearers. He
turned as he heard their warning
shouts, but not in time to change his
horses course, who the next moment
plunged into the first bearer, knocking
him down, and dashed against the
side of the chair with sufficient force
TO send it topping over with crash
despite the efforts of the bearer in
the rear to prevent its overthrow.
The horse staggered and finally
stumbled, sending his rider sprawling
on the pavement. He was not hurt.
for he jumped up, and after his horse
had risen, climbed into the saddle and
was about to go on, unmindful of the
damage he had already wrought. Ton
u, hearing feminine scream from the
interior of the chair as it went over
started TO assist in righting it. but be-
fore he reached the spot the two bear
ers had already succeeded in doing so;
then too, the sight of the doer of all

He reached them just in time to seize
the horses rein, and hinder his fur

"Diamine! You insolent fellow,
what mean you by running into me and
oVerturning yonder lady's chair?" he
cried, breathless from his exertions.
Let go my rein, you flea bitten cur"
was the insulting reply. How dare
you? ride upon the kings business"
and, raising his whip, he made a move
as though to strike Tonti across the
face. Tonti saw the movement and
quick as thought had his sword-point
against the mans breast.

Favorite Card Game of japanese

A favorite card game of the Japan
ese is played as follows: One hundred
well-known proverbs are selected each
diviaed into two parts, and each part
printed on separate card. The host
of the evening has the hundred first
halves, which he reads aloud, one by
one; the hundred second halves are
dealt to the other players, who place
their hands face upward on the "tata-
mi" or thick mat of rice straw, on
which they sit AS the first half of
the proverb is read, the holder of the
second half throws it out. or if he sees
it unnoticed among his neighbor's
cards, seiZes it and gives him one Of
his own. The player who is first "out"
wins. 1t is very simple game. but it
affords great entertainment to the
players; for the quicksight and keen
witted are constantly seiZtng the cards
of their duller and slower neighbors,
and this leads to much laughter and
many good-natured sarcasms.-West-
minister Gazette.

CHAPTER V.-CoNTINUED.


"perchance some such chair contains
my Lily of Poitou," muttered Tonti to
himself; and as he did so, he smiled
at the thought of his ever being able
to give up woman in the abstract for
a woman, however beautiful.
While engaged thus, he did not hear
the warning sound of horses hoofs up
on the paying-stones close behind him.
1t was only when this sound was ac-
companied by a harsh human voice
that ne turned quickly and leaped
aside, as he saw a horseman riding at
full speed almost upon him. He did
not escape entirely, for the huge stirrup
of the rider caught him blow in the
side that nearly overthrow him, while
at the same time a shower of mingled
mud and water from the horses hoofs
splashed over his new boots.
He sprang forward with an angry
cry, his hand on his sword in pursuit
of the man whose carelessness had
caused the accident. The blow in the
side did not ruffle him half as cuuch as
the ruin of the boots he had paid 200
livres for within the hour The man
turned in his saddle, and shook his fist
at him, but did not slacken his speed.
Wrapped as he was in a huge cloak,
with his hat pulled down over his eyes
Tonti could not get a glimpse of his
face. His cry, however soon changed
from one of anger to that of alarm

Do You Use Your Own Judgment

Lion Coffee is a package coffee that
reaches the homes of the people just as
it left the factory where it is roasted
and packed.
The beans are picked and carefully Sc.
lected at the plantation, then shipped di.
rect to our factories to be prepared for
home use.
The most scrupulous care ia taken with
everyprocess, and the utmost cleanliness en-.
forced in every operation. Men and ma
chinery employed in making Lion Coffee
ready for the market are chosen on ac-
count of their excellence and fitness for
the work.
Some of the results of this scrupulous
treatment of Lion Coffee are a delicious
flavor, perfect purity, and a uniform
strength and quality.
All loose Tor bullsl coffee is open to
doubt-to put it mildly. The buyer does
not know, the seller does not know, where
the bean came from, or how it was
roasted, or where and when; how many
hands handled it, what kind of hands
they were, what contamination it re-
ceived from dust, insects, dirt, etc.
Lion Coffee is pure, fresh and clean
that much is certain. Loose coffee
there isn't anything at all certain about
it except that wise housewives will not
buy it!
All grocers know the above to be true.
There may be very few left who will
try to persuade you another way.
If they do, just ask them how they ac-
count for the increasing popularity of Lion
Coffee in millions of homes for the past
quarter of century!

Bnbu's "Sccret Passion"

"It is with faltering penmanship
that | write to have communication
with you about the prospective condi-
tion of your damsel offspring. For
some remote time past secret passion
has been firing in my bosom internal
ly with loving for your-daughter."
So begins the letter of love-strick-
en- Babu, quoted by the Penang Ga
zette. The writer continues:
"My educational capabilities have
abandoned me and here | now cling to
those lovely long tresses of your much
coveted daughter like a mariner ship
wrecked on the rock of love. AS to
my scholastic calibre, l was recently
rejected from the Rangoon College,

great. What offering have you to
make before the DEVILS shrine?"
Ten thousand livres;" and, as he
spoke, he drew from his bosom a bag
OF clinking gold and stretched it forth.
A hand protruded itself through the
curtains and seized it. There was ST.
lence for moment or two, as the
priestess examined the contents. All
seemed satisfactory, for in a moment
the hand reappeared bearing a tiny
charm of silk an inch square attached
to fine gold chain.
Take this" was the command.
Gain but single hair from the head
of her whose hand you seek to win, in
close it in this silken bag, and wear
it. Within a year the girl is yours"
The Comte de Miron seized the chain
eagerly and placed it about his neck.
Again the hand appeared from be-
hind the curtain. This time it held a
small phial containing a rose-red fluid.
Drop one drop daily into your rela-
tive's wine. He will soon begin to
droop and weaken, and before this
precious liquid is used up he will die,
and no leech can save him nor dis
tinguish his malady."
The young man took the poison. A
moment later the hand was again be-
fore him, this time holding two pieces
Of thin, strengthening metal about
the shape of a pistole.
Sew these at midnight before the
duel, one on your right sleeve to give
your sword-arm strength and cunning,
the other over against your heart to
protect your body"
So saying, the voice ceased and the
bits of metal fell into his outstretched
palm. A slight noise at his elbow
caused the comte to start and turn in
that direction, when be heheld the
same dwarf that had ushered him in
to the room standing with his cloak
and hat ready. He quickly donned
these, and after being led towar5 the
wall by his deformed guide, a secret
door sprang open and an instant later
he found himself standing in the Rue
de Beauregard, with the rain still fall
ing in torrents about him.

CHAPTER VI.
A DARK CHAPTER. DEALING WITH
A DARK NIGHT, DARK MEN, AND
DARK ERRANDS.

a DARK NIGHT, DARK MEN, AND
DARK ERRANDS.
The rain that had threatened during
the day broke over the city at night,
III an almost unparalleled tempest.
The lightning played about the spires
Of Notre Dame and other churches, so
that many beads were told and prayers
offered for the safety of the city, in
hope of warding off the vengeance of
offended Deity. But there were many
abroad that night on unholy errands
who feared rather the devil and his
crew OF demons than the thunder
of Heaven. 1t was the age of mystery
and the Black Art, and many there
were who, not satisfied with offerings
made within the sacred edifces,
sought how they might likewise pa-
cate and win the power and influence
of His Satanic Majesty, Monsieur
Diable.
Whilst the storm was at its height,
about II by the clock, the figure of a
man carefully cloaked against the rain
and recognition might have been OBJ

in that famous Tor rather infamous)
part of Paris known as the Quarter
Bonne-Nouvelle. He fought his way
inch by inch against the force OF the
wind and rain. At times when he
reached the partial shelter of wall
or projecting corner, he halted a mo.
ment to gain his breath or rearrange
the cloak that the wind tried to de-
prive him of. He finally turned into
small street, the Rue Beauregard,
that was almost deserted. He came
to a portion that seemed to traverse a
vast vacant space, void of all habita-
tions save one. This one exception
was large mansion set back some dis
tance from the street. its yard filled

Through the same storm that broke
about the head of the young Comte de
Miron, as he went about his nefarious
errand, another cloaked figure of a
man might have been seen hurrying
to midnight appointment in another
portion of the city. This person, too.
feared neither God nor devil. AS he
passed Notre Dame, he stopped a mo-
ment in the shadows, and looked up
through the murk at the massive
ent strength and power that enabled
it, inanimate though it was, to fling
defiance to the lowering thunder
clouds. and stand unshaken before the
buffetings of wind and rain.
