CHAPTER VI.

"A DARK CHAPTER. DEALING WITH
 A DARK NIGHT. DARK MEN. AND
 DARK ERRANDS
 The rain that had threatened during the day broke over the city at night, in an almost unparalleled tempest 5 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 of 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-bolts of Heaven. It was the age of mystery and the Black Art, and many there . were who. not satisfied with offerings made within the sacred ediices. sought how they might likewise pla- cate and win the power and influence of His Satanic Majesty. Monsieur Diable.
 Whilst the storm was at it's height. about II by the clock. the figure of a man carefully cloaked against the rain and recognition might have been ob- served making his way along a street .n that famous tor rather infamousl part of Paris known as inc Quartier Bonne-Nouyelle. He fought his way inch by inch against the force of the wind and rain. Al times when he reached the partial shelter of a wall or projecting corner. he halted a fio- ment to gain his breath or rearrange the cloak that the wind tried 10 de- prive him of. He finally turned into a 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- lions save one This one exception ~ss a large mansion set back some dis tsnce from the street it's yard filled with trees and surrounded on all sides by a high stone wall
 A feeble light secured from the force of the wind overlooked a marrow open ing in the wall. which was filled by a barred gateway. The mar stopped be- meath .he light. which was ingenious ly arranged go ss to throw a shadow on whoever stood icue5iz-eIv te'o~ #.

The dazzling stories of wealth un- told to be found in those regions I stirred his blood, for he realized that If he could but guide and direct the king in the affairs of colonization to the grand realization of his dream, he would have but tc ask, to receive his hearts fondest desire from the hands of grateful monarch. Upon this pin nacle of power thus gained. the world would forget the wine merchants son of Rheims in envious adulation. The reins thus placed within his hands, he would be enabled to drive rough-shod over his enemies, crushing them be- yond recovery. He would be greater even than the king himself, because he would have acquired such unlimited influence over the royal mind and fla vor that, it would be he who would stand within the shadow of the throne, directing wars, djctating peace, up- roofing nations, and dethroning kings To gain this end, he had need of just such men as he knew La Salle to be- It would be he that would reap the benefits of the explorers efforts if suc- cessful; and upon the head of that in trepid man alone would the results of failure fall.
 Thus lost in the imaginings of fu- ture greatness, he sat until the dim- ming of the light warned him of the passage of time. He started up and, quickly secreting whatever papers he had in a hiding-place in the wall, he extinguished the lamp and left the room.
 When he reached the street he found day already dawned. The rain had ceased, although it was still gloomy The working people were moving about already to begin anew the toll of the day. Colbert, we'll disguised, walked rapidly along, his mind busy devising some plan whereby his task masters could be satisfied without in- turing his own future purposes. Once he came into sudden collision with a huge f1sh-wife while turning Q corner, who straightway launched at him her choicest stock of Parisian billingsgate, little dreaming that he whom she thus. reviled was the second man in the kingdom.

IN TIME OF PEACE

In the first months of the Russia
Japan war we had striking example of
the necessity of preparation and the
early advantage of those who. so to
speak, ''have shingled their roofs in dry
weather. The virtue of preparation
has made history and given to us our
greatest men. The individual as we'll
as the nation should be prepared for any
emergency. Are you prepared to sue
cessfully combat the first cold you take?
A cold can be cured much more quickly
when treated as soon as it has been con-
tracted ;and before it has become set
tied in the system. Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy is famous for its cures
of colds. and it should be kept at hand
ready for instant use For sale by Jas.
