CHAPTER ~.
The Message of the Night

THE last of the transparencies died out; the
dim and infrequent oil-lamps alone lit up
the Street of the Fountain and Saint M1chaels
Square They reveled still down at the Hotel de
Paris, whittier Max Hollbrandt and a dozen
others had hurried with the news OF the evening
great event. But here on the borders OF the old
north quarter all grew Still-the Golden Lion empty
the to their beds the soldiers to barracks
full of talk and fears and threats. Yet light
mans Tower, and the Com1nandant servant stIl

son of Nolseni, had no apprehensions; but he was

he grumbcd-for the of the hills did not
esteem the regular army high 1t esteemed itself
The COmmandant fingered in the Street of the
Fountain. Sergus StcfanOVitCh was half a BOur-
bon, but it the intellectual half He had the
Bourbon of before the family decadence. On it his
training at Vienna had grated a military precision
perhaps pedantry, and no little added of
what men called liberty and citizens called civil
rights. What rights had man against his coun-
try? His country in his king-and to the
King the army was his supreme instrument So
BESIDE the bourbon mother was the kravonlan
father, and behind him the long line of mingled
and vaciatng fortunes which drew descent from
Stefan the Lord OF PrasOk, and the famous reaver
OF loWland herds In that stock the temperament

to madness at others, moderate seldom When
the blood ran hot, 1t Verltable fire in the
veins.

not met her. but his first with the Lady of

Washington's Many Pews.

It is hardly conceivable that George
Washington could have remained the
richest man in America had he paid
rent for all the church pews accred-
tied to him. Scarcely a Village that
had church in his day but points
with pride now to the Washington fam
lily pew. 1t is true, however, that he
had much need of the invocation OF
spiritual grace, for when he lost con-
troll of temper, never very mild, as
he did at Trenton and other places. he
was quite capable of swearing vol
ley of good, round oaths, says Pitts
burg paper.
BY the way, is man morally re-
sponsible for profanity, say, occasioned
under stress of great excitement, such
as may occur while commanding troops
In battle? One of the purest and most
devout men we ever knew was Bap-
tist deacon, who was a lieutenant-col-
onel in the Civil War, who always went
into battle praying. and who prayed
fervently when the battle was over,
but who lost his religion absolutely
while the battle was on. and would
swear as loud and as tiercely as any
trooper in Flanders. The mans sim
cerity could not be questioned. for most
men prayed when he stopped praying
and otopped praying when he started.

Pelican Island.

In that long, narrow lagoon on the
east coast of Florida known as Indian
River, there is a muddy islet three or
four acres in extent. Originally it
doubtless did not differ from hundreds
of similar neighboring islets; but, for
some reason past finding out, this is
let, and this alone, forms the nesting
resort, the home, of all the pelicans
of the Indian River, if not, indeed, of
the east coast of Florida. The brown
pelican, unlike its white cousin, nests
normally in low trees and bushes; and
there is evidence that when the orig
inal pelican colonists landed on the
islet which now bears ,neir name, it
was well grown with black and red
mangroves in which the birds placed
their scaffolding of sticks. Excep-
tionally low temperature and high wa
ter-perhaps also excessive use by the
birds, which sometimes build as many
as seven nests in single mangrove-
have killed tree after tree, until at
present only three serviceable trees
remain. Still the birds come back, the
impelling motive which prompts them
to return to this particular spot being
evidently stronger than that which in
duced them to nest in trees.-Century.

Ate the Heart Of Louis XIV.

There is no need to be skeptical
regarding Mr.. Labouchere's story
that the late Dean Buckland swal-
lowed the mummified remains of the
heart of Louis XIV, and that it now
rests in the deans body in Islip
churchyard, when one recalls ths
many weird dishes that the famous
divine consumed in his life time. Al
his dinner parties, which were at
tended by leaders of science and lit
erature, the menus were often of a
most eccentric character. On one oc-
casion picked horse tongue was great
ly relished by the guests until they
were told what they had eaten. ALI
gator was served up as a rare deli
cacy, and puppies occasionally. and
mice frequently. At other times
hedgehogs, tortoises, potted ostrich
and sometimes rats. frogs and snails
were prepared for the delectation of
favored guests. What more likely
than that the dean should have a
fancy for a royal heart?-London
Chronicle.
