There was a short silence, after

been turning something in his mind,
exclaimed, "Bien | believe | can see

whose face the reminiscent look had
vanished. And now, Greloire, let us

consult as to the details. How soon
can we depart?"
Then while the day grew, the two
perfected their plans.
LATTE and Greloire set out on
horseback that same evening, making
no prolonged stop until TOulon was
reached. They arrived there early one
afternoon, and rested until the follow
ing morning; and the two-Lafitte

turned to former scenes as they ram
bled about the slightly changed
streets.
They left their horses at Toulon,
and pushed on by hired conveyance to
Cannes. Then, in order to avoid sus
picion, they crossed over to Leghorn,
and, chartering a large fishing smack,
sailed for Porto Ferrajo, the principal
port of Elba, where the emperor re-
sided
The Teche farm was about a mile in
land; and one of the younger men
offering his services as guide, he led
the way from the beach, across a
grassy field, until, having passed
through a piece of woods, they came
out upon an eminence overlooking a
fertile valley, planted with vines, as
were also the opposite hillsides.
Below lay a spacious wooden dwell
ing, and near it man, coatless, and
with one shirt sleeve swinging empty
of the arm that should have filled it,
was walking slowly about, large dog
following at his heels.
"Murier himself, by all that is for
tunate!" muttered Greloire, raising a
hand TO better shade his eyes from the
glare of sunshine, after which he took
deep breath, and sent his voice
ahead in a vigorous and prolonged
shout.

pretty tableclOths and napkins come
in paper, so they are just the thing for

obtainable, get plain white paper and

and draperies can be made by cut
ting crepe paper into strips and hang
ing it from grills, doorWays and over
the lace curtains. The invitations may
be inclosed in tiny Japanese lanterns
and delivered by messengers, or they
may be sent by post in the ordinary
way.

the hostess may wear an entire gown

the same. Provide a supply of paper

he was forced finally to abdicate.
Then the alles-those who had been

Err XVII.-Continued.

The winds proving unfavorabe, it
was not until an evening in early July
that the BLACK Petrol" anchored in
the harbor Of Bordeaux.
Knowing the location of Greloire's
house, LATTE lost no time in reaching
it, and was admitted by a sleepy
servant, who led the way through a
spacious hall to a closed door at the
farther end; this he opened noise
lessly, and announced Jim's presence.
At the sound of the servants voice
Greloire started hastily; with a joyful
exclamation he jumped to his feet
with outstretched hands.
Jean, Jean, lad! It is truly thy
very self! And thou hast at last
broken way, and come back to the old
fold!"
LATTE grasped the welcoming hands
and shook them cordially. But his
eyes, still searching Greloire's face,
saw, beneath it's look of momentary
gladness, one of keen anguish; and
the younger man wondered what
trouble had come to his friend.
Il cannot say as to that, old COM
rade," was his guarded reply. Il have
certainly broken away, for a time, at
least; but for how long, and to what
purpose, the near future must decide

Greloire's face clouded again, but
only for an instant; and, placing a
chair for his guest, he pressed him to
take breakfast.
This, however, Laftte declined, eX-
planning that he had already partaken
of the meal aboard ship.
Il feel greatly fattered, Jean, that
you should be in such haste to see
me-" said Greloire, as he began to eat,
doing it in perfunctory fashion that
indicated the performance of duty.
"You are very welcome. But"-with
a keen glance-"why have you Gomez
Ito ask you to take me to the en-
peror. and, if it may be, help me to
find some way of serving him."

A correspondent asks for the proper
vegetable to be served with meat.
There is really no cut and dried rule,
but custom dictates the serving Of
peas with lamb; roast pork and goose
call for apple sauce; and chicken for
cranberries, either in the form of a
sauce or an ice to be served with the
meat course; game calls for currant
jelly and onions; creamed fish is ac-
companied by fried potatoes or cro-
quettes, while roast beef is served with
most any of the vegetables, although
tomatoes, corn and caulit1ower are a
safe combination; a roast Of veal needs
a piquant sauce of some kind, and
