things which . man cannot forget.
 Aye, you may well thank him, Am ory," broke in the old Huguenot, who had returned after escorting his illus trious guest to the carriage. He has been raised up as Q champion for the afflicted and as helper for those who are in need"
 But their young visitor appeared to be more embarrassed by their thanks than by any of his preceding adven- lures. The blood flushed to his wealth CT tanned, clear cut face, as smooth as that of boy and yet marked by firm ness of lip and shrewdness in the keen blue eyes.
 q have a mother and two sisters over the water" said he dif1dcntiy. And you honor women for their sake?"
 we always honor women over mere. Perhaps 1t is that we have so few. Over In these old countries you have not learned what 1t Is to be without them. I have felt what good woman Is and bow, like the sunshine, she draws out of ones soul all that is purest and best"
 Indeed, the ladies should b. very much obliged to monsieur, who is as eloquent as he is brave" said Adele Catinat, who, standing in the open door, had listened to the latter part of his remarks.
 Much of my life has been spent m the woods" said he, "and one speaks 70 little there that one comes to forget how to do 1t. It was for this that my father wished me to stay some time In France, for he would not have me grow up mere trappes and trader"
 And how long do you stop In Par. s?" asked the guardsman.
 Until Ephraim Savage, the master Df the Golden Rod, my fathers ship, eomes for me. She has been to Bristol, IS now at Rouen and then must go to Bristol again. When she comes back once more Ephraim comes to Paris for ne, and 1t will be time for me to go."
 And how like you Parish Have you 'een the city yet3"
 "Only as I journeyed through it yes ,er evening on my way to this house. It Is wondrous place, but I marvel now you can find your way among :hese thousands of houses"
 "Perchance it would be as well that you should have guide at first" said De Catinat, ''so if you have two horses ready in your stables, uncle, our friend and might shortly ride back to Versailles together. for l have spell of guard again before many hours are over. Then for some days he might bide with me there, if he will share a soldiers quarters, and so see more than the Rue St. Martin can offer."
 T should be right glad to come out with you, if we may leave all here in safety" said Amos.
 ''Oh, fear not for that" said the Huguenot. The order of the Prince of Condo will he as shield and buc- kler to us for many a day. I will or der Pierre to saddle the horses"
 After riding some time De Catinat said, ''Now, if you will look there in the gap of the trees, you will see the kings new palace of Versailles"
 The two young men pulled up their horses and looked down at the wide spreading building in all the beauty of It's dazzling whiteness and at the lovely grounds, dotted with fountain and with statue and barred with hedge and with walk stretching away to the dense woods which clustered round them.
 They passed through the gateway of the palace and the broad sweeping drive lay in front of them, dotted with carriages and horsemen. On the gravel walks were many gayly dressed ladies, who strolled among the flower beds or watched the fountains with the sum- light glinting upon their high water sprays. One of these, who had kept her eyes turned upon the gate, came hastening forward the instant that De Catinat appeared. It was Mile. Nanon, the confldante of Mime. de Maintenon.
 T am so pleased to see you, cap- tain," she cried, land have waited so patiently. Madame would speak with you. The king comes to her at 8, and we have but twenty minutes. heard
