Martigny. At last the ships doctor
told me that he had seen the sick man
safely to carriage and had heard him
order the driver to proceed to the Hotel
Continental
''And frankly. Mr. Lester" added the
doctor. II am glad to be so We'll rid OF
him. 1t Is most fortunate that he did
not die on the voyage"
l turned away with lighter heart.
From dying man there could not be
much to fear. So | hunted up Mr.
Royce and found him. finally, endeav-
oring to extract some information from
a supercilious official.
1t was, II seemed, q somewhat com
plicated proceeding to get to Etretat.
In half an hour a train would leave
for Bonneville. where we must transfer
to another line to Les Ifs. There a
second transfer would be necessary be-
fore we could reach our destination.
How long would 1t take? Our In
formant shrugged his shoulders with
fine nonchalance 1t was impossible to
say. There had been a heavy storm
two days before, which had blown
down wires and damaged the little
spur Of track between Les Ifs and the
sea.
Amid this tumble Of uncertainties
one definite fact remained-a train was
to leave In half an hour, which we
must take. So we hurried back to tho
boat and finally were shut into n
compartment two minutes before the
hour.
Then, In that first moment Of mac
tlvity. the fear of Martigny came back
upon ME. Had he really gone to the ho-
tel? Had he deemed us not worth
watching. or had he watched? Was
he on the train with US? Was he able
to follow?
looked out cautiously from the win
dow. up and down the platform. but
saw no sign of him. and In u moment
more we ratified slowly away over tho
switches.
An hours run brought us to Beuze-
Vile, where we were dumped out. to-
gether with our luggage, in a little
frame station. An official informed us
that We must wait there three hours
for the train for Les IFS. Beyond that
he could not say.
How far Is Les Ifs from here?" in
Quired my companion.
about twelve kilometers, monsieur"
"And from there to Etretat?"
lis twenty kilOmeters more"
"Thirty-twO kilOmeters altogether"
said Mr.. Royce. That's about twenty
miles. Why can't we drive. LesterY"
Certainly it seemed better than wait

set Mt once about the work Of finding

English was an unknown tongue at
Bonneville, and even Mr.. Royce's
French was sOrely taxed, but we sue
ceeded at last in securing a horse and
light trap, together with a driver who
claimed to know the road.
The road was smooth and level. and In
an hour and half from Bonneville we
reached Les IFS. and here we stopped
for a light supper. We had cause to
congratulate ourselves that we had Sc
cured a vehicle ut Beuzeville. for we
learned that no train would start for
Etretat until morning. The damage
wrought by the storm of two days be-
fore had not yet been repaired.
Luckily for us. the moon soon arose.

difficulty. though slowly. and an hour
before midnight We pulled up trium-
before the Hotel Banquet, the
principal inn Of Etretat.

Mrs. Bickford had a vivid dream in which
she saw her husbands mangled body
lying on a railroad track exactly as it was
found at Lowelltown. So much did the
dream impress her, that she telegra phed
her husband the next day, and received a
reassuring reply from him.

Even in this material mercenary age
there are gentlemen whose sense of hos
pitality and courtesy is as keen as was
who had ample time on his hands to be
agreeable.
Only few nights ago a dinner was
given in NV York by one of our adopted
citizens, whose success in financial
social way has been phenomenal. Among
the invited guests were some of the big
gest of the bowling swells of New York,
Philadelphia, and Boston. Forty sat at
the table.
About the time the last course was be-
ing served the host was advised that San
old friend from the West" waited at the
door to see him, "Let him enter; we all
want to meet him." was the order given to
the servant. The caller proved to be a
former cowboy chum of the millionaire,
and entered the room in the ordinary garb
of rough and tumble farmer from the
prairies. He was warmly greeted, intro
duced all around, and invited to "sit by.
The farmer was not so much embar-
rassed in his unconventional attire as
might be imagined. But he was awfully
thirsty, and, seeing a beautiful blue-green
bowlful of crystal water hard by pro-
ceeded to drink of it. few of the guests
were Mortified. Not so the host. The
latter Immediately arose, lifted his own
finger bowl to his lips and said:
sGentlemen, let US all drink the health
of our ate-coming guest, one of the salt OF
the earth and my most cherished friend of
the long ago." Every man jack of 'em had
to stand and drink out of his finger bowl,
whether he liked it or not. And the feel
ings of the farmer were not hurt because
he was not permitted to discover his mis-
take.
A similar incident occurred in Louis
vile forty years ago, and was text for
many sermons at the time.
Equal to the Occasion.
The late Senator Hoar, having learned
that friend of his was very ill with ap-
pendicitis, sat down at his desk to write
a note of coincidence. Before he had fin
ished he received word that the gentleman
in question was suffering not from appen-
dicitis, but from an attack of acute indiges-
ton. He therefore took up his pen and
wrote the following note:
'sMy Dear A:
"Accept my sincere sympathy for your
illness and suffering, but / am overjoyed
to learn that the trouble is with your
table of contents instead of your APP
pendix. Yours, ETC."
