PERFUME FROM ALOE TREE.
Resinous Aromatic Juice That Is
Great Value.

The aloe wood tree is a native q
the mountains east and southeast d
Sylhet, in Burmah, and in Bengal \
is valuable on account of dark resi-
nous aromatic juice with which us
wood is sometimes gorged. Thk
resin, or agar as it is colloquialg
termed, is used for it's perfume ana
supposed medicinal properties. It ,
very costly and is used both for ID
cense in religious and other cere
monials and also in the preparation o.
perfume called agar altar. which ,
practically as costly as altar of roses
The most interesting feature in cor
nection with the aloe wood tree is lis
uncertainty as to whether any par
ticular tree will be found to contall
the precious resin, A tribe OF mD
men known to the natives as assl
kumlahs make it their business "
search for the resinous wood, TheH
trade is secret which they always
endeavor to preserve from all native
or other tribes. A party of agar KUN
lahs goes off into the mountains WIZ
provisions for as long as thre'
months, and they prosecute their teol
Gus search in districts where probaDp
a human being is not seen from on'
month to another.
Trees have to be chopped down ah'
hacked to pieces before 1t can be az
certained whether they contain an'
of the resinous deposit, and some
times after wearisome searc'
through half a dozen trees, young an'
old, not single piece of agar is ois
covered, Again, it may be that ri'l
find is made and then the collector
repaid for half a month of work

In late April of 1892, Monsieur le
Baron was still domiciled at his Paris
house and early Apri! usually found
him in his Languedoc chateau.
For two years past, Etienne-the
slmpering coxcomb of twenty-seven-
| had retained his position at court :.
and TIE atmosphere thus brought
about his father tended to throw the
latter more into the company of for.
mer friends, many of whom were
deep in political intrigues, and sought
to claim him, after his dozen years
absence from their circles.
AT the suppers and card parties
which made unusual gayety in his fa-
Tiers long-closed house, Jean was
admitted with the freedom of an ar.
knowledged favorite. Keen of wit,
and somewhat precocious, owing TO
the intimate companionship of Mon
sieur lie Baron, he absorbed the talk
going on around him, and assimilated
1t with an intelligence to which his
elders gave no thought.
Unusually tall for his years. he had
slender, sinewy body, and limbs
whose muscles had been thoroughly
developed under the careful tutelage
OF Old Tatro, the baron's butler. who,
until middle life had been a soldier.
IL was he who had taught Jean to
ride and shoot and he had initiated
the lad-young as the latter was
into the intricacies of foil and rapier
practice.
Affairs in Paris were becoming
more and more unsettled. The law
lessness and brutality of the masses
grew in strength and daring, and
many of the mobiles had fed from
France, or buried themselves in the
country, away from the violence
which they were helpless to prevent,
or too loyal to seemingly countenance
by their presence and neutrality.
II was early in the summer when.
with many misgivings as to the fu.
ture, Monsieur lie Baron finally left
Paris and retired to his country place

ONE WOMAN ESCAPED.
Nine colored Persons Are Cremated
in Maryland.

Baltimore.-An isolated small frame
house near the village of Curtis bay,
in Anne Arundel county, was con-
sumed by a fire in which were burned
to death nine colored persons. The
only inmate who escaped with her life
was Ella Webster, a woman, who
managed to get to a window and
jumped from the second story to the
ground. For few minutes after
striking the ground she was uncon-
scious, and on recovering made her
way to neighboring houses and gave
the alarm. When the neighbors ar
rived the house was a pile of blazing
and smoking debris, and when the
bodies were recovered nothing but the
charred bones of the victims were left.
According to the statement of the sur
vivor the fire was caused by .one of
the younger children. who got up to
stir the fire in the chimney place and
accidentally scattered Goals on the
floor.

CHAPTER |

Paris in the year 1890, and the gar
den of the Tuileries bright with the
sunshine of an autumnal day. Two
boys, seated in the grass near a path
not far from one of the ponds, were
playing with a turtle they had cap
tured.
The humble origin of the elder. a
lad Of thirteen, was evidenced by
those physical signs which are usu-
ally associated with people of his
class but the other, three years
younger, bore all the indications of
gentle birth. His sire was a baron of
the "ancien regime" while Pierre's
father had been a peasant, and his
widowed mother the faithful nurse of
her who had lived but two months
after giving birth to the boy Jean,
Pierre.
Presently there came along the
promenade trio of court gallants,
attired in the extreme of the prevail
ing fashion, beruffled, bejeweled, and
perfumed. One of them was a slen-
derly built young man, whose sharp
features, pale-blue eyes set closely to-
gether, thin lips, and weak chin, gave
ample proof of his nature and dispo-
stion.
A more striking contrast to the
younger boy could not well be imag-
ined. Yet the same blood ran in
their veins, for the newcomer was
Etienne, Jeans half-brother, who had,
for some time past, been occupying
an unimportant position at court.
He espied the two boys before they
noticed him, so engrossed were they
in heading-off the turtle, whose in
stinct seemed to tell it how to find a
way to the nearby pond.
The three courtiers paused in the
pathway; and Etienne, stepping
quickly over the grass, gave the tur-
tie a well-directed kick that sent il
splashing into the water.
He and his friends then laughed
boisterously, while Jean and Pierre
sprang to their feet, the formers eyes

swer for such insolence!"
"As you please, monsieur, and when
ever you shall say" replied the sous
lieutenant, glancing past him at the
two boys, who were now close to one
another, directly behind Etienne
their faces flied with surprise and
satisfaction at seeing him thus
brought to bay,
Il know you for what you are, you
Corsican beggar," Etienne hissed
backing off over the grass; "and nev.
er fear but that | will remember.
Then he turned, and the trio depart
ed.
When they were gone, the sous
lieutenant joined the two boys, who
were now standing by the edge of the
pond, searching for some trace OF
their late captive.
AS he approached, Jean looked up at
him, and, with characteristic impul.
siveness, caught one of his hands
while Pierre, with peasants dumb
ness. gazed at him with an admiration
his stupid tongue would never have
been able to express.
81 love you for that!" exclaimed
the younger boy, his face aglow with
enthusiasm. "Ah, but it was a fine
thing to see Etienne baked, for
once!"
And who is this Etienne?" in
quired the officer, scowling, as he
looked down at the water.
"My half-brother."
"Your half-brother!" repeated the
questioner, his voice showing sur
prise. "Sacre! Your life must be a
pleasant one, if what l saw be a fair
sample of his usual mood and man
ners."
This day was followed by many an
other, which at irregular intervals
through the next two years, found the
man and boy together; and strong
loyal love sprang up between these
two, so far apart in age, and still
farther in their respective natures
