sum of the schools attractions.

kingly bow.
"Sardou You are not related to
the great dramatist?"
"Oui, oui, madame; he ees my grand

Miss Hard gazed at him almost with
reverence. She was thinking how she
would point out her chef to visitors as
the grandchild of genius.
You are good cook, good chef?
You understand it all?"

lost no time in securing Monsieur Sar-

At lunch there was a dearth Of eat
ables but Miss Hard reflected that
Monsieur Sardou had scarcely had
time to prepare anything. At dinner
the roast was burned and the coffee
weak enough for nursery but she
made allowances and carved deeper.
The other servants wondered at Emile.
He talked French when they asked
him about himself, yet, when he
burned his hand he swore in perfect
English; and he seemed possessed to
leave the kitchen and wander through

chased from the bakery.
So for a week Monsieur Sardou
reigned, amid smoke and culinary
calamities unnumbeTed; then he de-
parted, and, about the same time,
Miss Porter disappeared. Three days
later Miss Hard sat in the library

OF valuable claims in the center
Of the IMMORAL zone. Repre-
