Is as dear to me as an own son"
The count did not change his posi-

some boy while murmuring a cour-
teous acknowledgment of his pres
ence. AS tor Jean, he scarcely heard
the words, so engrossed had his
senses become with the beautiful face
confronting him from the other cor
ner of the room.
The young lady was looking at him:
and from her clear blue eyes there
flashed a smile that opened the red
lips to show two rows Of little pearl

and he felt still more poignant re-

"Aigle' that night.
Have you been long in Touon?"
Jean inquired, somewhat at a loss
what to say, and yet longing to man
fest his sympathy for so lovely a
being.
"Since last summer" she answered:
and bent toward him as from a sudden
impulse while she said, Did you ever
meet people who were strangers to
you, and yet who from the moment
you looked into their faces seemed
otherwise?"
She had laid a hand upon his shout

in his face as he looked into her earn

smile as he replied. with a pallantry

Laro, although with evident reluc-
lance. But you'll not speak to any
one of our sailing tonight"
"Nay-not |. Why should ~"
asked Jean, as he opened the door
"I'll see you again before sailing
time"
Jean walked slowly along the
streets, seeing nothing for time. He
was going toward home, and had al
most reached the narrow street upon
which stood Margots cottage, when
he saw approaching that which sent
his dreams flying, and with them all
thoughts of Laro and Louisiana.
1t was Greloire, who appeared to
have seen him at the same moment;
for he paused, as if waiting for the
boy to come near.
TEL me-have you seen him?
What said he?" Jean demanded, be-
fore they had gone half dozen steps.
Never mind whether or not have
seen him." replied Greloire, rather
slowly. let it suffice that he knows
of my having met with you, and of
your anxiety to see him. But he bids
you, with his love, to stop at home
for the present. Wait quietly here,
as he asks of you, and you will be
sure to see him in short time"

boy. How can that be-"

A combination of cellar with an

O'Clock, and the neighborhOOd of lie
Chen Heureux was unwontedly quiet,
Inside, however, there was the
usual gathering of soldiers and citi-
zens.
Laro was not in the room with the
other customers; and Jean, upon in
quiring for him, was told in a low
tone by Thiel that the captain was in
his own apartment.
He then invited Jean to follow him,
and after bidding Pierre wait where
he was, and to open the door to no
one, he led the way to the passage.
Dropping on his knees, he grasped
a ring, and a square of the appar-
emily solid wall rolled up with graf
ing noise until it was level with his
head, as he still knelt and a rush
of damp air, as if from out OF doors,
stirred the short locks on Jeans fore
head as he stared with wonder-filled
eyes into the dark opening that gaped
before them
A minute later the boys eyes were
nearly blinded, as he followed his
companion into a cave-like room, with
a floor of rock, which was also the
material of its ceiling and walls. 1t
was furnished but scantily; and
around a table at the farther side
were several men, while somewhat
apart from them sat two women,
As Thiel entered, with Jean close
behind him, the men ceased talking,
and stared with evident displeasure
at the boy-all except Laro, who
called out, AHA, my young mate, is it
myself? Welcome, my seagull!"
He put out an inviting hand; then,
as the lad came to his side, he said,
turning to a slenderly built man of
middle age seated next him, with an
elbow on the table and a hand sup
porting his cheek, Count de Gaze

LaVinu a Water Pine

l wish to conduct water in an inch
pipe a distance of about 900 feet
There is a creek which crosses be-
tween the supply end and the lower
end, and the pipe would require to be
brought under it, as it is on a level, SO
feet below the outlet of the pipe. How
much higher would the upper end of
the pipe have to be than the lower end
to insure free flow of water? Would
six feet be enough? The supply at
the upper end is a small creek with a
good fall and by lengthening the pipe
in that direction | could obtain more
fall. Should there be tap in the
lower bend of the pipe for flushing?
The correspondent here suggests a
head of six feet for the flow of water
from the pipe from A to B. With a
head of six feet an inch pipe 600 feet
long, the amount of flow would be
about 200 gallons per hour, provided
the pipe is kept clean and free of OBJ
struction. If this amount is sufficient
for the purpose to which the water is
to be used then it would not be neces-
sary to run the pipe any further in or
der to secure higher head. The cor
respondent must decide that matter
for himself. 1t would be an improve
ment to place a tap, as suggested, at
the lowest point in the pipe in order to
be able to flush it out if necessary.
