our road to Blois, which proved more
interesting than we at first imagined,
and we decided to stay there over
night. Seeing the chateau OF Blois
alone occupied whole morning, and
we did not think we were wasting
time, for II was match for the al
most Incompatible Chenonceaux. In
the afternoon we left and that night
arrived at Anglers. Before we left
the district we visited the city of
Amboise and its celebrated chateau.
at Is interesting to note how good
natured the people OF the Loire sec.
ton are II you use little ilattery.
We made 1t rule always to address
those of whom we desired help or in.
formation by some title according TO
what we thought was their station in
life. To captain or major an ordi-
nary peasant works charms, and
many a time they would stop and go
into the smallest details of the sub.
jeCt on which we desired information.
II was amusing one Sunday morning
when we had to stop to fix tire that
had gone wrong to see a man about so
OF information as to how the tire
should be repaired. AS we were about
to replace the tire and while the
women of the party had gone up the
road picking berries, we let the old
man tackle the job of trying to put
the tire back in place. 1t was funny.
He would get one side on, then 1t
would come OFF on the other side. He
worked for over an hour with no
success. AS the party was returning
we took the job off his hands and in
less time than it takes to tell It IL
was in place. That was the most
surprised Frenchman you ever saw.
First he examined the tire again, and
then all the tools. and was about to
turn away in most disGusted mood
when we called him back and gave
him a piece Of silver. We knew that
was what he was working for from
the beginning. His forlorn look at
once changed to smiles, and as far as
we could see him he was waving his
cap in farewell.

!. Putnam Bradlee's Trousers.

Back in the sixties Goodrich & Dyer
were tailOrs in joys building, where
the Rogers building now stands, and
the late j.. Putnam Bradlee was one
of their patrons, says writer in the
Boston Herald.
One day he ordered a pair Of doe
skin trousers, and in due time they
were sent to his home.
The next day MIR. Bradlee called and
said to Mr.. Dyer: These trousers
are cut with the nap down on the front
and up on the back part"
Mr.. Dyer, with rare presence Of
mind. replied: THAT is the way we
cut them now You brush down the
front and up the back. so it makes il
more convenient for You"
MIR. Bradlee said: Il am glad to
know it," and went out.
In the course of time he came in to
order another pair, and he said to Mr..
Dyer: "If it will not be any great
trouble to you, | prefer that nap
should run the same way front and
back"

After the doctor and Pearl had re-
tired for the night, Lang set his wits
to work to invent some way OF circum-
venting Schiller. A plan had present.

would be possible to delude Schiller
into the belief that DIR. Huntington
had been disposed OF. 1t depended
wholly upon the truth Of Goldcn's
statement that there was an entrance
TO and an exit from the city through a
tunnel leading from the haunted house.
II the tunnel was still In existence,
Lang meant TO allow DR.. Huntington
to make his escape from the city IN
that way, furnishing him with a horse
and trusting that the doctor would be
able TO find his way by the first station
into the hands of Johnson. who, Louis
felt, could be trusted to see the escap.
ing man safely on his way over the
border and directed toward civilza-
tion. The plan was worth trying at
least.
With Lang, to think was to act. As
the first thing to be settled was to find
out about the tunnel, Lang took a can.

get his bearings. Entrance was made
through trap door cut in the floor OF
the kitchen, and by the aid of sta

Gov. Long and His Band"

The Hon. John d. Long of Masse-
chusetts tells with great glee of an
experience he had when lie was gov
ernOr. There was a public meeting
at one of the theaters. to which the
governor and his staff were invited.
The staff put on their most gorgeous
uniforms. There were quite a mum.
Der of them, and they were resplend-
ent in gold lace and cord.
When the party reached the thcater
entrance they found so many people
there that somebody suggested they
should so around and enter by the
stage door.
They encountered n stolid stage
doorkccpcr, who had been at his post
for years, and was used to the wilcs
of people who want to get behind the
scenes.
Cant get in here" he said, grumy.
But" said Mr.. Long, II am the gov
ernor."
The doorkceper looked the governor
over carefully. Apparently he recog.
ni2ed him, for he said, "All right, gov
CrnOr, you can go in"
Then he waved his hand at the
gaudy staff and announced; The band
must go around the other way"

the almost blunt refusal cut him to
the quick.
Can you blame me?" more blandly
asked the doctor. Your aid was the
choice of two evils-a possibility that
but one evil would exist"
NO, | do not blame YOU" acknowl-
edged Lang. Il admit the circum-
stance. 1t is not a pleasant thing for
n parent of your social standing TO
contemplate the union of purity such
as your child possesses with person
of my character. But looking at it
Candidly and from all sides, can you
expect to do better? What are your
chances for ever leaving this place
alive? Besides, have | not truly won
her by risking my life to save her from
a worse fate? Under the existing state
of affairs she is looked upon as my
wife-without really being so. Do |
not show YOU that am honorable, de-
serving the sanction of the church to
make the marriage lawful? Another
thing, DR.. Huntington, | have asked
your consent coupled with the state
ment that your daughter loves me
this is an argument in my favor. Still,
II you wish to refuse, why do you not
do so? did not demand; by very
simple test you would prove whether
I asked for your consent through COur-
tesy or not. Your daughter has trust
ed me far enough to believe that if
you refuse | will yet act the part of 4
gentleman and not take undue adyan-

great dcliberation, that 1t is best you
do not insist upon marriage with my
daughter You see | am candid with

Pearl looked hopclessly at her lover
Now, as my right, would ask, DR.

Versailles Is but a short run, yet

one of the tourists. There Is so much
to be seen, let alone the thought of
trying to consider the amount of
French history that has had its scene
at this place. After leaving Versailles
the road leads through some Of the
most beautiful country that one could
imagine. On every side one sees
farms 1t is surprising how every
little bit Of ground is utilized. The
road leads over streams not large
enough to be noted on the guide map,

all along the roads are irrigation con
