AS ENGLISH IS WRITTEN.
Efforts Of a Portuguese Hotel Keeper
and a Frenchman to Use the
Language.

The publication which was once
brought out in Portugal bearing the
title English as She Is Spoke" has
for a long time enjoyed a worldwide
reputation. Tourists on the continent
of Europe sometimes come across ex-
amples of English quite as curious as
that of the Portuguese author.
In the bedroom of a hotel at Genoa
the following notice was found: THE
lamentations of the walters are obliged
to be made at the bureau" 1t was in
a hotel also, not a church, that the
following request was made in writ
ing. "Visitors are prayed into dinner
when the bell rings, that they may NOT
disturb the order OF the service"
There IS a hotel advertisement in
Calais station tc the following effect:
''Quite a peculiar animation resides al
this fashionable spot of Paris. In the
rear the grand opera OF a splendid ar
chitecture on one side of the Grand
Hotel, entirely made afresh and in q
more extensive way is the meeting OF

CHAPTER xXIII.-CoNrrNuEp.


The past two years had worked a
great change in Tonti. He vas no

ing in the battlefield the mean of live
lihood and material advancement, I'M
settled In purpose, selling the service
of his sword for a sum of gold and a
promotion, realizing that his life was
probably a short, and hence prefer
ably, a merry one. The harsh strug.
gle with the rugged forces of nature,
the primeval freshness of a new coun-
try, the close companionship through
many dangers with a soul such as La
Sales, untarnished with the common
er littlenesses of the mankind he had
hitherto known, and vibrating with
the devotion Of a noble life to a high
purpose, the association day by day
with Renee, whose being unconscious
ly revealed its manifold complexity
and beauty to his wondering eyes-all
had served to bring about an inner
metamorphosis that he knew not of,
one that if he had studied himself
carefully he would not have been able
to analyze. Its only revelation was in
the change of thought and purpose of
which he was dimly conscious. The
coarse and gross qualities of the camp,
the blighting communications of the
court, all that tended to the rearing of
standards unworthy of the best in man
Chat tiny kernel of the divine i'm

garment. New yearnings, new ends,
new ideals, had arisen to take the place
of the old. He realized that a field of
glorious opportunity was his; that his
would be the task of winning a new
land, fairer, richer than the old; a
task whose far-reaching consequences
for good or ill were Unreasonable. On
the proper, loyal, high-minded achieve
ment Of his labor might depend the flu
ture greatness of a nation. The ex-
allied passion felt for Renee that, un-
known to him, had been the main
source of the great changes wrought
within, hopeless as 1t was as to it's de-
sired procurement, did not harden him
with despair. 1t rather spurred him
on in the invincible resolve to live his
life, whatever it might be, so that he
might remain worthy of her esteem
This it was that helped him to resist
the temptation to be disloyal; to thrust
from his thirsty lips the draught he
could not taste without dishonor.

Eheem Das snatched the message
with Impotence, and retreating into
his Office, turned up the oil lamp, and
sat down to his work. He had just
finished 1t with a grunt of relief,
when, glancing toward the door, his
vision met what appeared to be two
balls of fire cleaning in upon him
with sinister intent.
Now as Bheem Das was a cour-
ageous man only when no danger was
near, terror held him %spellbound to
the spot where he had started to his
feet. Then slowly the fire balls
seemed to draw closer, until, noise
lessly and almost imperceptibly, a
black panther crept into the room.
For some moments the beast stood ap-
parently listening to the tick-tick-tick
Of the electric current, when it sud-
denly relieved Bheem Das of its ter
rifying presence by leaping through
the open window.
For three days the nerves of Bheem

Bheem Das was no sportsman. How
ever, he was beginning to pluck up
/ spirit again, when, toward the morn
ing of the fourth day thereafter, a
thunderstorm awoke him to a greater
terror than any combat of the ele-
ments. In the darkness he again be.
held those balls of fire.
For a space they seemed to remain
stationary, and then as a flash Of
lightning illuminated the scene, he
saw the 1.-THE form Of the panther
standing at the keyboard. Above the
succeeding crash of thunder, a cry
from the beast rose like the wall of a
tanshee.
With the panther between him and
the door, Bheem Das gave himself up
for lost. He withdrew his body into
as small a compass as possible be-
tween an angle of the walls, and petit
toned the gods more fervently than
he had ever done before. He even
vowed to measure his shadow the
length Of the Ganges II he might
escape his fate this once. Presently
feeling puffs Of warm breath upon his
face, he lost consciousness.
When Bheem Das awoke, the burst
Of the monsoon had been succeeded by
an interval of calm. But the imme-
diate suggestion that he had suffered
from q nightmare was co~ntradicted
BY the footprints upon the floor.
In his perturbed state Of mind,
three courses presented themselves to
avoid any more such visits. The first
was to petition the deputy commits
sioner to destroy the beast. But against
this plan he found his religious scru-
pies oyercame his advanced ideas, for
who could tell but that the panther
] might be the incarzate spirit OF his
