lord, and his one assistant, we're pre-
pairing supper for several civilians and
soldiers who sat about, talking and
drinking. at the various small tables.
Sitting near the Are, two soldiers
and a citizen, together with Jean and
Pierre, were listening to a 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," a rakish-
looking brigantine. of which he was
owner and captain.
Jean listened with an attention
which, for some reason, appeared to
amuse Laro, who, nov and then, with
a quizzical smile lighting his black
eyes, glanced askance at the boys err
raptured face.
Laro's story had been listened to by
others seated around the tables, who
occasionally reminded Thiel to hurry
their suppers.
The next minute a soldierly-icoking
man came in, the uniform of a petty
officer showing as he unclasped and
threw of 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 nov the ssound
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.

Come, gentlemen, ALL" said Thiel,
now bustling 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 a swift cautioning
gesture of silence.
His supper finished, Jean strolled
back TO the fire, before which Grcloire
had seated himself, while the others
remained at the tables, some still eat.

make sure he vas not observed. the
boy looked at the soldier with a world
Of inquiry In his dark eyes. Greloire

but again laid his finger against his

turned to the fire.

and was putting 1t on. And Nc one
noticed the suggestive motion of the
head and hand. as, with slightly
arched eyebrows, he looked once more
toward Jean, who was still standing
beside the fireplace. But the boy was
quick to see these. and understood
that he might expect to find Greloirc
outside.
Allowing what he felt to be a proper
amount of time to pass after tho latter
had closed the door behind him, Jean
put on his cap, and having motioncd
to Pierre, they both followed. regard
less of Laro's declaration that II was
earlier than usual, and not yet tims
for them to start for home.
The two boys, with occasional sharI
glances around, passed along the al
most deserted street. Presently
Pierre, after a quick look ove his
shoulder, gripped Jeans arm.

The girl laughed in spite Of herself,

1t might be said in passing that
this vas what the twain called THE

session. You see It was this way:
The lad and the girl with all the
ardor and folly Of youth desired only
one ~thing-each other. They talked
by day and dreamed by night Of
. love-lit cottage where they could
remain always hand in hand encom-
passed by all the joys of love. They
were a likely pair too, high.bred. well
assorted, full Of life and vigor and
hope and courage.
But, alas, there was the inevitable
stern parent-in this case the uncle
and guardian of the girl. DIR. Kirk.
The doctor had long ago deserted the
iscalpel and the pill-box for the o
ship of the golden calf. And 1t was

Her fears were realized when the
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-
solved to retake Toulon, and drive the
allies from the soil of France. Two
armies were marched upon Toulon;
and a siege was begun which for three
months made but little apparent prog.

after demonstrating warmly as to
some offense he had committed, she

He looked so big and terrible in his
rage that Margot, silent and fright

loved and watched over for 80 many
years.
IL was the last night Of November,
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 acquaintances.
