France has just pardoned a criminal
who enjoyed moment Of notoriety
thirty mine years ago, but who has since
been practically forgotten. He is Bercz-
owsky, who in 1867 fired pistol at the
Gar, Alexander H., as he was review
ing the French troops In the Bots de
Boulogne.
The shot missed the Emperor. It
struck a woman among the spectators,
but she was only slightly wounded. The
would-be assassin was a Polish work.
lngman- He was sentenced to depor-
tation and life imprisonment and was
shipped to New Caledonia In short or
der. He was really insane. The fact
was recognized by the jallers. He has
grown worse as the years passed. His
delusions took the form Of inventions,
one OF which was perpetual motion

government still provided for his sup
port and he amused himself cultivat-
ing mechanical projects. Lately his
case was taken up by the Humanitarian
League and his complete pardon was
the result. The Partisan papers speak
OF 1t as doubtful mercy. 1t Is hard
to see what shelter he can find In

One of the earliest signs of consump-
don is loss Of strength and flesh, and
this should always arouse suspicion in
the case of a young man or woman
when there Is no other evident cause
for it. In addition to the gradual ema-
citation there will usually be found a
rapid pulse, shortness Of BREATH ane-
mia, as shown by pale lips and ex-
IRENE whiteness Of the eyes, a poor
appetite, and Indigestion. There may
be feverishness In the afternoon, to-
gether with hacking cough and some
times a little splitting of blood; but
this Is more commonly a sign which
appears in the later stages.
The two mainstays of the person
threatened with, or actually suffering
from, consumption are fresh air and a
generous diet In no disease should the
Injunction to throw physic to the

the windows Of the bedroom should be
kept wide open at night and the bed
should be so placed that 1t Is bathed
in the air entering from without. The
patients often fear this will give them

does just the opposite. OF course the
sleeper should be well protected, with

warm sleeping robe 80 as not to be-

The daytime should be passed In the
open air. The patient, If weakness or.
q fever keeps him from walking,
should sit all day on a porch or by an
open window on the sunny side of the
house, and should practice full, deep
breathing for a few minutes at time
frequently.
The diet should be as nutritious az

CHAPTER XVII

The habit of reading having penetrat,
ed, as we are told, to all classes of the
community, l am not without hope that
some who peruse this chronicle will be
able, from personal experience to under
stand the feelings of man when he first
finds reward offered for his apprehen-
sion. 1t is true that our police are not
in the habit of initiating the Presidents
naked brutality by expressly adding
alive or dead" but l am informed that
the law, in case of need, leaves the alter
native open to the servants of Justice
am not ashamed to confess that my spirits
were rather dashed by his excellency's
Parthian shot, and l could see that the
Colonel himself was no less perturbed.
The escape of Fleance seemed to Mac
beth to render his whole position unsafe,
and no one who knew General Whiting
ham will doubt that he was more dan
gerous opponent than Fleance. We both
felt, in fact, as soon as we saw the white
sail of The Songstress bearing our enemy
out of our reach, that the revolution
could not yet be regarded as safely accom-
plished. But the uncertainty of our ten
ure of power did not paralyze our ener-
giles; on the contrary, we determined to
make hay while the sun shone, and. if
Ahreataland was doomed to succumb once
more to the tyranny, 1, for one, was very
clear that her temporary emancipation
might be turned to good account.
Accordingly, on arriving again at the
Golden House, we lost no time in insti-
tutihg thorough inquiry into the state
OF the public finances. We ransacked the
house from top to bottom and found moth
Ing Was it possible that the President
had carried off with him all the treas
ure that had inspired our patriotic eff
forts? The thought was too horrible. The
drawers of his escritoire and the safe that
stood in his library revealed nothing to
our eager eyes, A foraging party, dis
patched to the ministry of finance (where,
by the way, they did not find Don Anto-
Mo or his fair daughter), returned with
the discouraging news that nothing was
visible but ledgers and bills In deep
detection l threw myself into his excel
lency's chair with the doleful reflection
that this pleasure seemed all l was likely
to get out of the business. The Colonel
stood moodily with his back to the fire.
place, looking at me as if were respon-
sible for the state of things.
At this point in came the Signorina.
We greeted her gloomily, and she was as
startled as ourselves at the news of the
Presidents escape; at the same time I
thought detected an undercurrent Of re-
lief. When, however, we went ON to
break to her the nakedness of the land,
she stopped US at once.
"Oh, you stupid men, you haven't look
ed in the right place. l suppose YOU ex-
pected to find it laid out for you on the
dining room table. Come with me-"
We followed her into the room where
Carr lay. He was awake, and the Sig
norma went and asked him how he was.
Then she Continued:
I'VE shah have to disturb you for q
few minutes, Mr.. Carr"
(To be continued.)

CHAPTER xv.-(Continued.)

CHAPTER XV.-(Continued.)
Thus far the Signorina. must beg to
cab special attention to the closing lines
bf her narrative. But before l relate
the very startling occurrence to which
she refers, we must return to the bar
racks, where, it will be remembered, mat
tiers were in a rather critical condition.
When the officers saw their mess room
suddenly filed with armed men, and
heard the alarming order issued by the
Colonel. their attention was efectually
diverted from me. They crowded togeth-
er on one side of the table, facing the
Colonel and his men on the other. As
sisted by the two men sent to my aid, l
seized the opportunity to push my way
through them and range myself by the
eide Of my leader. After moments
pause the Colonel began:
'The last thing we should desire, gen.
elemen," he said, lis to resort to force.
But the time for explanation Is short.
The people of Aureataland have at last
risen against the tyranny they have 80
long endured. General Nottingham has
proved traitor to the cause of freedom ;
be won his position In the name OF lib
erty; ne has used it to destroy liberty.
The voice of the people has declared him
to have forfeited his high Office The
people have placed In my hand the sword
Of vengeance. Armed with this mighty
vanction, 1 have appealed to the army.
The army has proved true to its tradi-
tions-true to Its character Of the pro-
tector, not the oppressor, of the people.
Gentlemen, will you who lead the army
take your proper place."
There was no reply to this moving APP
peal. He advanced closer to them, and
went on:
"There is no middle way. You are pat
riots or traitors-friends of liberty or
friends of tyranny. I stand here to offer
you either traitors death, or, IL you
will, life, honor and the satisfaction Of all
your just claims. Do you mistrust the
people? I, as their representative, here
offer you every just due the people owe
you-debts which had long been paid but
for the greed of that great traitor"
As he said this be took from his men
GONE bags Of money, and threw them an
the table with loud chink.
Major DeChair glanced at the bags, and
glanced at his comrades, and said:
an the cause of liberty, heaven forbid
we should be behind! Down with the
tyrant!''
And all the pack yelped in chorus
Then, gentlemen, to the head of your
men," said the Colonel, and going to the
window, he cried to the throng:
"Men, your noble officers are with u.s.
A cheer answered him. l wiped my
forehead, and said to myself, That's well
over"

The show was all right, except there
were too many guns, too many indlffer-
ent actors, too many cllmaxes, too
many weak lines and too many be-

the worst by the actor, who said the

will not weary the reader with our
further proceedings. Suffice to say we
marshaled our host and marched down to
the Piazza. The news had spread by
now, and in the dimly breaking morning
light we saw the Square full Of people
men. women and children. As we march
ed In there was cheer, not very hearty
"a cheer propitiatory, for they did not
know what we meant to do. The Colonel
made them a brief speech, promising
peace, security. liberty, plenty and all
the goods of heaven. In few stern
words he cautioned them against "treach-
cry" and announced that any. rebellion
against the Provisional government would
meet with swift punishment. Then he
posted his army in companies, to keep
watch till all was quiet. And at last he
said
"Now, Martin, come back to the Golden
House, and let's put that fellow in safe
place.
"Yes," said 1, and have q hook for the
money" For really in the excitement it
seemed ~ if there was danger Of the
most important thing Of all being for
soften.
Tho dawn was now far advanced, and
N we left the Piazza, we could see the
Golden House at the other end Of the
avenue. All looked quiet, and the SEN
tries were pacing to and fro. Drawing
nearer, we saw two or three of the Presi-
dents servants busted about their ordi-
Esryy tAsks. One woman was already re-
moving Johnny Carr's life-blood with a
mop and pail of water; and carpenter
was at work repairing the front door.
Standing by It was doctors brougham.
"Come to see Carr, suppose" said L.
Leaving our horses to the care of the
men who were with us, we entered the
house. Just inside we met the doctor him

ed Anderson, generally popular, and, al
though a personal friend of the Presi-
dents, not openly identified with either
political party.
Il have request to make to you, sir'

well, Is he dead?" said the Colonel.
IF he Is, he's got himself to thank for
It."
The doctor wisely declined to discuss
this question and confined himself to
stating that ne was not dead On the
contrary he was going on nicely
but" he went on, quiet is essential.
