surrender was accomplished, and the
English ships sailed triumphantly
into port, landing five thousand of
their own troops and eight thousand
Spaniards.
This proceeding was regarded with
the greatest alarm and Indignation by
the Revolutionists, who, considering
the surrender an act of treachery, re-
allies from the soil of France. Two
armies were marched upon Toulon;
and siege was begun which for three
months made but little apparent prog
ress.
Affairs within the city became un.
settled, and were soon almost demon

seriously i'll, Margot's heart grew
heavy, as Jean, seeming to throw off
all restraint, wandered day after day
about the streets, associating with
soldiers and rough characters.
Margot had not dared to communf-
cate much of her misgivings from the
day, now several weeks past, when,
after demonstrating warmly as to
some offense he had committed, she

CHAPTER ~.

Toulon, on the Mediterranean, was
at this time the great military depot
of France. It's inhabitants numbered
about twenty-five thousand; and more
than fifty frigates and ships of the
line rode at anchor in it's harbor, while
within its spacious magazines was col
lected an immense quantity Of military
and naval stores.
Scarcely a day passed during the
fall and early winter of 1893 that did
dividuals from all parts of France,
seeking protection from the Revolu-
tionists' curelties-outrage which the
Committee were either unable to con-
troll, or to which they were Indifferent.
At Toulon, the friends of the old
monarchy argued among themselves
that the violence with which their
land had been filled was too terrible
to be longer endured; and they began
to discuss the idea of surrendering
the city, it's magazines, forts and
ships, to the combined English and
Spanish fleets lying outside it's har-
Dor, and thus help to bring about
return Of law and reason to insane
France.
Among those in Toulon who heard
Of the proposed surrender was Margot,
who, with Jean and Pierre, safe under
the humble roof of their new home,
had for these many months enjoyed a
security she had never before known.
In a measure her own mistress, and
removed from the dread of Etienne,
she found reliance and peace in the
kindly guidance of Pefe Huot, to
whom the boys went each day for in
struction, his abode being some dis
lance from Margot's small house,
which was in retired part of the
city, near the suburbs.
A surrender suggested to her the
possibility of bringing scenes of blood
shed and violence; and the very
name of English" was to her-as also
to most of her ompatriots-the syn

threw off the heavy cloak that had en-
veloped him. After demanding sup
per as speedily as possible, he seated
himself some distance away from the
group at the fire.
But Pierre had been staring open
mouthed at him; and now the sound
of his voice caused Jean to start, and
turn his head quickly in the direction
OF the shadowy corner where the sol
der was seated
"Greloire!" he breathed.

tongue, to be sure, but | speak only
my own"
Come, gentlemen, all, said Thiel,
now busting amongst them with a
huge platter. Your suppers are
ready"
Neither Laro nor the others paid
any further heed to the soldier, who,
seated apart from them, ate his sup
per with an appetite that bore witness
to previous fasting. But at odd mo-
ments, when unnoticed, his eyes, with
a smiling warning in them, met those
of the two boys; and once, while Jean
was staring at him, he laid a finger
upon his lips with swift cautioning
gesture of silence.
His supper finished, Jean strolled
back to the fire, before which Greloire
had seated himself, while the others
remained at the tables, some still eat
ing, and all of them discussing mat
ters pertaining to the siege.
Leaning carelessly against the fire

make sure he was not observed. the
boy looked at the soldier with world

replied with comprehending smile,
but again laid his finger against his
lips, as if impressing silence, and then
turned to the fire.

NUNS FIRST TO POWDER HAIR.
Then Custom Quickly Spread to-
Women of Fashion.

The custom of powdering the hair
dates back as far as the sixteenth
century and was first introduced by
the nuns in French converts. Those,
who had occasion to leave the clois-
tiers for any reason were wont to
powder their hair so as to make 1t ap-
pear gray and give them a venerable
look. The fashionable danes were
SO struck with the novel effect OF
white powder on dark hair that they
soon appropriated the device as one
of the arts of the worldly toilet. Out
of this grew the use of tints in the,
hair. The Roman women often used
blue powder, and later, in 1860, En-
press Eugene set the fashion of using
gold powder. Rome under the empire
and Greece during the time of Per-
icles were seized with mania for
golden hair. The bellies and tops of
the day devised several methods
whereby black locks might be
changed to golden yellow, but bleach
ing did not always succeed. Conse-
quently quite trade was established
with the fair-haired tribes beyond the
Alps, who sold their locks to Latin
merchants to be worn on the heads
of Roman handles.

stranger to her-this boy she had car
ried in her arms, and whom she had
loved and watched over for SO many
years.
1t was the last night of November,
when darkness fell early over the city,
and Margot was preparing her lonely
evening meal. Where Jean and
Pierre were, she knew not, but pre-
sumed that, as was often their habit,
they would sup with some of their
soldier acquaintance.
Although the evening was cold, the
usual number of pedestrians were
abroad, these being mostly soldiers,
who were seeking excitement and Cos
sip at the various eating and drinking
places frequented by them.
One of these was called lie Chen
Heureux" two-story house situated
down near one of the quays. Lights
were blinking brightly from it's small
windows, and inside several stoves
were burning, where Thiel, the land
lord, and his one assistant, were pre-
pairing supper for several civilians and
soldiers who sat about, talking and
drinking, at the various small tables.
Sitting near the fire, two soldiers
and citizen, together with Jean and
Pierre, were listening to man in
their midst, who, from his talk and
appearance, seemed to have been an
extensive traveller. This was Laro, an
habitue of LIE Chen Heureux when
on shore from the "Aigle," rakish-
looking brigantine, of which he was
owner and captain.
Jean listened with an attention
which, for some reason, appeared to
amuse Laro, who, now and then, with
quizzical smile lighting his black
eyes, glanced askance at the boys EN-
raptured face.
Laros story had been listened to by
others seated around the tables, who
occasionally reminded Thiel to hurry
their suppers.

man came in, the uniform of a petty
officer showing as he unclasped and

NOTABLE DIVORCE RULING
VALIDITY DEPENDS ON BOTH
PARTIES BEING RESIDENTS.
Legitimacy Of 1000 Children Is AZ
fected by Decision of United
States Supreme Court.

Washington IS doubtful IL a
more momentous decision In the
interest OF American society has
been delivered by the supreme court
In recent years than when Monday. by
a bench divided five 10 four. IL held
that divorces obtained in states which
do not have jurisdiction over both
parties to marriage are not enforce
able outside the state granting them.
The decision is based on the clause OF
the constitution providing that each
state shall give full faith and credit to
the DEGREES OF another state.
The effect OF the decision therefore Is
that divorces like those obtained in
South Dakota by the acquisition OF a
temporary residence for that purpose
are valid in the state In which the
couple resided only so long as their
legality Is not attacked.
IL follows, therefore that a divorce,
In order TO be beyond attack. must be
obtained In the state OF which both
parties are residents.
The effect Of the decision will be 20
end the promiscuous granting OF de-
erees and undoubtedly is a long step
towards minimizing an evil which Il
had been believed could only be cor
rected by a uniform divorce law enact
ed by the federal congress.
The general belief IS that divorces
will become less frequent as. when the
purport OF the decision becomes known
generally, the movement IN favor OF
national divorce laws will gain such
force as 10 compel the passage OF the
constitutional amendment needed TO
effect such legislation.
II Is estimated that at least 10000
children are affected by the opinion.
These are the offspring of marriages
based on divorces granted where but
one OF the parties resided in the state
Issuing the decree OF separation.
