CHAPTER XIX


1t was a lovely summer nigh. in the
year OF grace 1870, and the pa,e sickle
of the moon shone from an unspecked
heaven upon scene of pomp and gaudy
glory such as could not have been sur
passed even in the gay capital of the
most frivolous nation upon the earth.
The windows of the Tuileries were
ablaze with myriad of opalescent lights.
The rays of the moon flashed on the
arms and the armor of thousand cuiras-
siers drawn up in serried lines on either
side of the great entrance, where car
riage after carriage drove up, discharg-
ed its load of fair ladies and gorgeous
gentlemen, and then drove away again
to make room for another, and another,
and yet another, until there seemed to
be no end of the mass of bediamoned
women, and of men glittering in stars
and decorations, who had come to pay
homage to the last and the littlest of the
French Caesars.
He, the great one, seemed weary Of
the incense and the adulation He had
strolled out into the garden, leaning
heavily upon a stick with one hand, while
through his free arm was drawn the
tiny, daintily gloved hand of q lady
whom all the women envied and hated
for the exceeding favor of which she
was the recipient, and at whom all the
men stared as if their heaven lay In her
eyes, and whom they vowed the most
beautiful and the most bewitching of all
the women there.
Not a very young woman, either, but
tall and stately-in the later thirties,
though she showed none of the ravages
Of advancing time. She carried her head
as If she had been born to a throne.
The large, limpid, dark blue eyes seemed
set into her head for the express purpose
of thrilling the hearts Of men.
"That English woman again." q wom-
an whispered behind a fan of priceless
lace.
That Miss Berinquay," said another
what right has she to come here to
usurp the place which ought to belong to
a French woman? Can't she be salts
fled with her millions, and her conquests,
and stay in her cold and foggy Eng
land?"
That's just it." sneered the lady with
the gorgeous fan. "She doesn't like to
stay in her foggy England, where the
men are as unattractive as the climate,
and the women worse than both"
"You say that because you are Jealous,
Duchess" whispered a tall and stately
old gentleman with his breast covered
with stars and orders. Miss Berinquay
is as charming as she is beautiful, and
she is lovely enough to captivate even an
emperor"
Her grace drew up her shoulders. with
contemptuous shrug. In the meantime(
the object of all this envy and petty
hatred walked by the side Of the lord of
many hosts, as II she had been used
during all her life to such companionship.
She knew that all eyes were upon her,
and she would not have been a woman
had that fact not made her bosom thrill
with pleasure. OF her it could be truly
said that she had come, been seen, and

The criticism which is so often
heard that there is danger Of women
who take an active part in club work
becoming dissatisfied with home life
l think is unjust, writes Mrs. Freder-
lex Schoff, President of the National
Council of Mothers. If only the right
sort Of women belonged to our organi-
cations, we should not hear such crit

many young women rush in the work
before they have mature judgment.
The work must be carried on by the
older women, whose experience should
give them greater wisdom.

interests should be centered in her

Trick of Travelling Women.


From Europe comes the story Of a
curious custom among travelling wo-
men. 1t appears that the women when
staying at hotels or the like do not
care to exhibit to The passers along the
corridors the exact size of their feet,
so they carefully carry with them a
couple Of pairs of tiny, delicate shoes,
which, instead of the ones they are
wearing, they place outside their doors
for the servants to take down and
clean. All the big boot shops in Paris
now make a speciality of this tiny foot
gear, and pair or two form a portion
Of the trousseau Of every up-to-date
bride. Madrid women are said to have
the smallest feet; Peruvian women
come next and the American girls are
4 good third.

that by virtue of the little nerve ii

belief the idea that wedding rings

cial curative qualities, had its rise. To
this day wedding rings are rubbed over

CHAPTER XVIII

When Helene next recovered conscious
ness she was lying Cd a comfortable bed
in a nice, bright, cozy room, and Sue.
her own faithful, trusty Sue, was sitting
by her bedside with a great fan, and
Helene felt neither the pain nor the thirst
which she had last remembered.
She gazed around the room. and saw
the brightly papered vans, and the clean
lace curtains, and the pictures, and they
seemed familiar to her. Her weak mind
wondered and questioned where she was.
and seeing the tears running down Sues
black face, Helene smiled and said.

The best way ia which to clean hair
brushes is with spirits of ammonia and
warm water. Take tablespoonful of
ammonia to one quart of water; dip the
bristles up and down in the water
without wetting the back; rinse in

The wise housekeeper should see to
it that all the beds should be aired Inn
mediately after being occupied. The
impurities which emanate from the
human body from insensible perspira-
ton, are made up Of minute atoms,
which, II allowed to remain long, are
absorbed by the bed, and wiz then, to
greater or less extent, vitiate the air
for considerable time afterward. Let
the occupant throw the bed open on
rising, and as soon as is convenient
open the windows and ventilate the
sleeping room. One hours early ven
tilation is worth two hours late airing.

STARTLING DEVELOPMENTS
BROUGHT OUT IN INSURANCE
 INQUIRY YESTERDAY.
House of J. P Morgan & Go. Brought Into Affair-Sum of 9,31O Deducted from a Profit of the New York Life and Paid to Andrew HamiIton-NO Reason Given for It.

Reason Given for It.
 New York, Nov. 24,-startling devel- opnents were brought out at to-day's session of the Armstrong legislative committee on insurance investigation in the course of a minute inquiry by Charles E. Hughes, counsel to the com n1ittee; into the syndicate transactions participated in by the New York Life Insurance company. The most import ant witness of the day was Milton M. Madison, bookkeeper of the New York Life, during whose examination it was brought out that in the United States Steel corporation syndicate, the man. agers of which were J. P. Morgan & Co.,, there appeared in one instance a profit due to the New York Life of $87, ,187, from which was deducted, no reason being given, the sum of $59,S1O paid to Andrew Hamilton, who has been described in the course of the in- vestigation as the insurance legisla- tive generalissimo."
 It appeared from records produced by MT. Hughes that an account of J. P. Morgan & Go. with Hamilton showed that in December 1901, that firm had advanced to Hamilton the sum of $56,- 720; that on October 1, 1902, this ac- count amounted, with intrest, to $59,S1O, and that 1t was then cancelled by the entry of that amount to Hamilton's credit. The entry of this amount in the account of the New York Life read "as per cancelled statement and arrange ment with MT. G. W. Perkins" It also was developed that the participation in the syndicate by the New York Life was effected through the New York Security and Trust company, which re- tained one-fourth of the profits of the former company.
 Pressed by Mir. Hughes to tell wheth- CT he knew of any other instance of money due the New York Life being paid to third party, as in the Hamil- ton case, Mr. Madison recalled the pay ment in 1904 of $40,00O to George w. Perkins, representing the profit on a loan of $930 000 to the Boston firm or Kidder, Peabody & Go. The profit, wit ness said, came in the form of a check on the First National Bank, which he cashed, giving the money to MT. Per kins. What the latter did with 1t the witness did not know, as no entry of the transaction was made on the books of the New York Life.
 Other witnesses examined during the day were George T. Wilson, fourth Francis W. Jackson, auditor, and Ger aid Brown, in charge of the bond de- partment of the Equitable.

PERPETRAToRsoF
State Police Believe They Have Made . Important Captures.

: g l.
 Salem Nov. 24.-The state police think they have evidence to connect Charles W. Mitchell and his son. Charles V. Mitchell, who were arrested here yesterday, with score or more burg laries, thefts and hold-ups which have been committed within the last six months in Chesterfield, Salem and near by towns. Plunder from other places besides the store of Frank Trowbridge, which they are charged with having entered and robed last Saturday night, was round Dy the detectives, it is said, when the men were captured.
 On account of the many thefts and hold-ups of the last few months. the Hebrew colonies in this section have been practically in a state of terror. One of the Mitchells, 1t is said, was released a year or more ago from the state prison after serving sentence of two years for burglary in Middlesex county. The arrest yesterday was brought about by State Policeman Swatzburg, Hurley, Jackson and Dut- ton, assisted by Elmer E. Chadwick and Grand Juror Beebe of this town.

ALLIED FLEET MAY SAIL
 TO-DAY ID SEIZE PORT
TO TAKE OYER CUSTOM HOUSES OF ISLAND OF AEK-
 TILENE.

Two Russian Warships to Join in the
 Demonstration but Germany shows
 No Sign of Participating-Doubt as
 to Whether Combined Fleet Can Es-
 tabIsh Effective Blockade of the Dar-
 daneIIes Should Sultan Prove Obdu-
 rate.
 Lonon, Nov. 25.-The commanders of the allied fleets at Piraeus held fur ther conference yesterday on board the Austrian cruiser St. George. as the result of which it is expected the fleet will sail to-day to seize the custom houses of the island of Mytilene.
 Despatches from Athens say that two Russian vessels will join in the demon stration, but that Germany shows no sign of participating.
 Doubts are expressed as to whether in the event of the sultan proving ob- stinate the combined fleet could estab- fish an effective blockade of the Dar- danelles.
 According to the Standard should the naval demonstration be eisregarded. the powers will give Austria man date to take the necessary military steps for the securing Of the proposed reform sin Macedonia.
 Vienna, Nov. 24.-yarious more or less alarmist rumors have been current here for the last two days to the effect that some of the Balkan states, partic- ularly Bulgaria, are considering a plan to take advantage of Turkeys present predicament and to start a serious movement against that country tor the purpose of succoring the peoples inhab- ting Macedonia. These stories have received credence from the fact, which was learned tonight, that Austria had addressed the powers signatory to the treaty of Berlin, submitting to them the advisability Of forwarding to the respective governments of the Balkan states collective note setting forth that these governments should not mis- interpret the naval demonstration as a good opportunity to harass Turkey. Such a communication, 1t is believed, would have a reassuring effect on the sultan, particularly regarding the all legged intention of the powers to despoil Turkey of the Macedonian vilayets. and that it would do much to help the situ- ation.
 In independent circles here it is fore- seen that if the sultan does not imme- diately ooncede the demands with re- gard to Macedonia the powers will be forced to carry out their coercive pro- grarnme to it's final stages. K The position of Austria among the allies has become a most delicate and difficult one.

END OF PLUMBERS STRIKE.
SETTLEMENT AFFECTED IN
 HARTFORD THIS EVENING.

Compromise Between the Men and the
 Bosses - Landlords and Taxpayers . Committee Acts as Arbiter--Propo-
 sitiOn Submitted to the Union to be . Acted Upon This Afternoon.
 Hartford, Nov. 24.-The strike of the plumbers union, which has been on here since October 1S, and which has affected about twenty-five building con tracts, in all probability will come to and end tomorrow night This after noon the conference committee com posed of subcommittee from the union and the master plumbers met with the committee appointed by the Landlords and Taxpayers association, and it is understood that compromises were made and that a form of settle ment was agreed upon conditionally. The Landlords and Taxpayers com ntttee acted as an arbiter, as 1t has in several meetings of the conference com
 nittee. -.
 It was stated tonight by a member of the conference committee that the proposition agreed upon this after noon would be submitted to the union at a special meeting to be held to-mor- row afternoon and that if the union accepts, a report Is to be made back to the conference committee, which will meet at 8 o'clock. It is believed that the union will give their commit tee full power to act and that when the meeting of the conference commit tee is ended it will be announced that the termination of the strike is at hand. f.,
 Nearly 100 men went out when the strike was ordered, but a few of the plumbers agreed to the terms of the union and several of the men were talk en back Despite this fact there has been a tie up on several big jobs, and the settlement of the strike will be hailed with delight all through the city.

Brown and Dartmouth Meet in Annual
 Battle.

Springfield, Nov. 2L-The Brown and Dartmouth players are in excellent con- dition for their annual football match on neutral grounds in this city to-mor- row. Practically the entire undergrad uate bodies of both colleges are to be in attendance, as well as many alumni and other followers of the game. A football spirit is abroad in the city, which has not been the scene of an inn portant college game since 1894, when the New Hampshire team was beaten by Brown by a score of 20 to 4. In a series of eight games played by the two colleges Brown has taken four, Dart mouth three and one game was tied.
 The result of to-morrow's game is doubtful From both strongholds there is a tone of subdued confidence, and betting, which for several days favor ed Dartmouth, reached in even money basis tonight.
