for these two boys. the ideals of what
their own careers should be when
manhood set them free to achieve
their ambitions.
The gardens about the place were
wilderness of bloom, left very much
to nature, and entirely free from the
marks Of that formal science that
showed in the generality of French
gardens-the style which had come
of Louis XIV.
But outside the park, where the
boys were not permitted to go, it was
easy to realize something of the tur-
MOL that was shaking Paris, miles
away, and also the country nearer
about, where the peasants were hold
ing meetings, secret at first, but be-
coming more open as the Jacobins
waxed stronger with each successive
day
The principal leader and speaker
among the peasantry was one Tomas
Fauchel, who had recently come from
Paris, and who appeared, for some
reason, to have an especial hatred for
Monsieur lie Baron. But the latter,
whose attention was engrossed by his
books and papers, knew nothing OF
this, as he rarely went abroad, and
seemed to grow more reserved and
gloomy as the days wore on.
The 14th of July-the anniversary
of the French nations independence
came and went; and, on the night
of August 10th, the Assembly having
removed from Paris all the regiments
suspected of being loyal to the king,
there was no armed force to resist
the mob that, insane with blood-thirs'
ty passion, broke into the Tuileries,
butchered the kings attendants, and
took away, as prisoners, the few VINO
were still alive.
Over the chateau in Languedoc,
that August night, the same stars that
glittered above the carnage of Paris
shone upon a scene of peace. But
Monsieur lie Baron's heart was grow
ing heavier, and his wakeful eyes
were fixed upon the stars, as he lay

foreboding of evil crept chillingly
about him, and a note of coming woe
seemed to sigh in the wind stirring
among the olive and pepper trees that
made a small grove outside.
But in his chamber beyond, Jean,
unconscious and happy, slept sleep
such as could never more be known
on earth by the kings little son,
whom, only few months since, the
two lads-Jean and Pierre-had
looked at with worshipful awe, as a
being infinitely above themselves, and
one who could by no possibility ever
experience the hard brunts of life.
Viewed in the light of such a
change, men seem but little better
than the pieces upon chess-board.
Fate and time are invincible powers,
moving pawns into the. knights
squares, and sweeping kings, queens,
and knights into oblivion.

lieutenant Joined the two boys, who
were now standing by the edge Of the
pond. searching for some trace OF
their late captive.
AS he approached, Jean looked up at
him. and, with characteristic impul-
siveness, caught one Of his hands,
while Pierre, with peasants dumb
ness. gazed at him with an admiration
his stupid tongue would never have
been able to express.
81 love you for that!" exclaimed
the younger boy, his face aglow with
enthusiasm. "Ah, but it was fine
thing to see Etienne baked, for
once!"
"And who is this Etienne?" in
ouired the officer, scowling, as he
looked down at the water.
my half-brother."
"Your half-brother." repeated the
ouestioner, his voice showing sur
prise. "Sacre, Your life must be a
pleasant one, if what | saw be fair
sample of his usual mood and man
ners."
This day was followed by many an
other. which at irregular intervals
through the next two years, found the
man and boy together; and strong,
loyal love sprang up between these
two, so far apart in age, and still
farther in their respective natures.
Seasons came and passed-springs
summers, falls, and winters,-to be
strung, like beads, upon the rosary
of time; and nearer were drawing
those bloody days of France, which
are to live forever, with their CORY
hue undimmed, although the crimson
flow that stained them has been dried
by the suns of many years.
In late April of 1892, Monsieur le
Baron was still domiciled at his Paris
house, and early April usually found
him in his Languedoc chateau.
For two years past, Etienne-the
simpering coxcomb of twenty-seven-
had retained his position at court;
and the atmosphere thus brought
about his father tended to throw the
latter more into the company of for
mer friends, many of whom were
deep in political intrigues, and sought
to claim him, after his dozen years
absence from their circles.

Valuable German Discovery.

= substance possessing curious
properties is announced in Germany
"a compound of carbolic acid, sa-
ponine and camphor with little tur-
pentine. This mixture, it is asserted,
will solidify when heated and melt
again when cooled. Solidification with
heat is property of albuminous sub
stances such as the white of an egg,
but such substances will not liquety
again on cooling, the coagulation be-
ing a permanent chemical change.
The mixture described above to
which the name "cryostase" has been
given, will apparently solidify and
liouefy as often as desired, when
heated and cooled to the proper
points.

PERFUME FROM ALOE TREE.
Resnous Aromatic Juice That Is Of
Great Value.

Great Value.
The aloe wood tree is a native of
the mountains east and southeast of
Sylhet, in Burmah, and in Bengal. 1t
is valuable on account of dark resi-
nous aromatic juice with which the
wood is sometimes gorged. This
resin, or agar as it is colloquially
termed, is used for it's perfume and
supposed medicinal properties. 1t is
very costly and is used both for in
cense in religious and other cere-
monials and also in the preparation Of
a perfume called agar altar, which is
practically as costly as altar of roses.
The most interesting feature in con-
nection with the aloe wood tree is the
uncertainty as to whether any par.
ticular tree will be found to contain
the precious resin. A tribe of hill
men known to the natives as agar
kumlahs make it their business to
search for the resinous wood. Their
trade is secret which they always
endeavor to preserve from all natives
or other tribes. A party of agar KUN.
labs goes off into the mountains with
provisions for as long as three
months, and they prosecute their tedi
Gus search in districts where probably
a human being is not seen from one
month to another.
Trees have to be chopped down and
hacked to pieces before it can be as
certained whether they contain any
of the resinous deposit, and some
times after wearisome search
through half a dozen trees, young and
old, not single piece of agar Is dis
covered. Again, it may DE that rich
find is made and then the collector is
repaid for half month of work.

To Color Lace.

In the present demand for trim
mings aud vari-eolored laces anyone
who has had even a small experience
in handling a brush can paint her
cheap lace into an excellent imitation
OF an expensive variety, providing
that she uses little judgment in her
effort. Too many colors spoil the eff
feet; but with the flowers painted a
delicate pink and the tiny leaves
green, a very charming trimming is
the result. Lace is the salvation OF
many a "made-over frock, and an old
family lace fchu, or collarette OF
point lace, or even a lace flounce, can
be utilized to better advantage this
year than ever before.

which made unusual gayety in his ia
admitted with the freedom of an ac-
knowledged favorite. Keen of wit,
and somewhat precocious, owing to
the intimate companionship of Mon
sieur lie Baron, he absorbed the talk
going on around him, and assimilated
it with an intelligence to which his
elders gave no thought.
Unusually tall for his years, he had
slender, sinewy body, and limbs
whose muscles had been thoroughly
developed under the careful tutelage
of old Tatro, the baron's butler, who,
until middle life had been a soldier.
1t was he who had taught Jean to
ride and shoot; and he had initiated
the lad-young as the latter was
into the intricacies of foil and rapier
practice
Affairs in Paris were becoming
more and more unsettled. The law
lessness and brutality of the masses
grew in strength and daring, and
many of the mobiles had fed from
France, or buried themselves in the
country, away from the violence
which they were helpless to prevent,
/, or too loyal to seemingly countenance
by their presence and neutrality.
II was early in the summer when,
with many misgivings as to the flu
ture, Monsieur lie Baron finally left
Paris and retired to his country place
in Languedoc. Jean, together with
Margot, her boy Pierre, and major
| ity of the servants, went with him:
but few of the latter remained at
| the Paris house with Etienne. who,
| detesting the quiet life of Languedoc,
refused fatty to go there.
Another reason for his determine
ton lay in the fact that he was now
secretly, of course-in Robe
| spheres employ; thing Monsieur
| lie Baron suspected, but of which he
had no absolute proof: and the serv-
ants who stopped with the young man
| were Revolutionary in sentiment.
At the beloved old country-house,
| where everything was more to his
taste than in any other spot on earth,
Jean forgot much of what had filed
the air of Paris with such horror. He
and Pierre, rioting in vigorous health,
went roaming about, hunting in the
park for small game, or, hidden away
snugly in a remote part of the wood
| devoured book of travels which told
| of pirates and soldiers OF fortune
who had reaped many harvest CT
riches upon the Spanish main.
This book was the keynote oil
Jeans dream-world; and 1t had lons
been . pastime Of the boys that he
should read it aloud. while Pierre list
ened with absorbed attention.

Soto. Pizarro. Cortez, and the min0l
leaders Of adventurous bands were

Use for Peacock Feathers.

If there are yet women who think
that the superstition about wearing
peacock feathers is still ingrained
in the minds of their sex, let them
take a stroll up Fifth avenue or
through the park some fine morning
when the up-to-date woman is out ex-
ercising her dog or her baby, and
their minds will be disabused of the
notion, says New York newspaper.
For morning wear it has become a
lad to have a bunch of peacock feath-
ers stuck jauntiIy through the band
of a soft felt fedora hat. Glowing
cheeks and the rich blue-green CT the
feathers make charming contrasts and
the effect is extremely chic.

CHAPTER |


Paris, in the year 1890, and the gar
den of the Tuileres bright with the
sunshine of an autumnal day. Two
boys. seated in the grass near pain
not far from one of the ponds, were
plsyipg with a turtle they had cap
tured.
The humble origin of the elder,
lad of thirteen, was evidenced oy
those physical signs which are usu-
ally associated with people OF MS
class but the other, three years
Younger. bore all the indications OF
gentle birth. His sire was a baron OF
the "ancien regime" while Pierre S
father had been a peasant and his
widowed mother the faithful nurse OF
her who had lived but two months
after giving birth to the boy Jean,
whom Margot loved as her own
Pierre.
Presently there came along the
promenade a trio of court gallants,
attired in the extreme of the prevail
ing fashion, beruffled, bejeweled, and
perfumed One of them was slen-
derby built young man, whose sharp
features, pale-blue eyes set closely to-
gether, thin lips. and weak chin, gave
ample proof of his nature and dispo-
sition.
A more striking contrast to the
younger boy could not well be mag
ined. Yet the same blood ran in
their veins, for the newcomer was
Etienne, Jeans half-brother, who had,
for some time past, been occupying
an unimportant position at court.
He espied the two boys before they
noticed him, SO engrossed were they
in heading-off the turtle, whose in
stinct seemed to tell it how to find a
way to the nearby pond.
The three courtiers paused in the
pathway; and Etienne, stepping
quickly over the grass, gave the trr-
tie well-directed kick that sent it
Splashing into the water.
He and his friends then laughed
boisterously, while Jean and Pierre
sprang to their feet. the formers eyes
blazing angrly as they met those of
his half-brother.
"Sneaking spoil-sport! How dared
you" cried the boy.
Dared" repeated Etienne jeering-
ly, while his companions again

laughed uproariously. "Mais, you i'm

seized Jean by the collar, as II to
throw him into the pond.

grasped more firmly the jeweled cane
he carried, and began to rain blows
upon the head and shoulders not so
very far below his own not great
height, while he held fast to Jeans
collar with grip whose firmness was
out of keeping with his frail and puny
build.
a clear. icy-toned voice suddenly
cut the air like flash of steel.
Pardon, monsieur; but would you
not like assistance?"
1t was the sous-lieutenant, whose
look had affected Jean SO oddly a
short time before.

Dame! Who are you, to dare

demanded furiously, his white fingers
again gripping the cane in way sug-
gestive of a desire to use it in new
quarter. while he advanced a few
steps toward the sous-lieutenant, who
stood with his hands still clasped be-
hind his back, and fine scorn touch

THE END OF THE GRIP
REACHED AFTER EIGHT YEARS OF
COMPLICATED TROUBLES.

Deafness, Kissing Sounds In Head, Stomach
Disorder, Palpitation of Heart and

Mr.. Newman certainly had very

ordinary efforts to eradicate it.
