SHE HADMTH HER7ARtt ARTICLES WITHOUT WHICH 5HE VAS SELDOM SEEN;A GREGT BOUQUET OF
 WHITE CAnELIAS, BOX or BON B0NS AND A L0RGNETTE

hausted Come said Armand when she
 had partially recovered herself. ''let us
 take a stroll in the country. The fresh
 air will do you good" Taking along Pru-
 dence as chaperon they drove to Bour-
 geval, and leaving the carriage at the
 Daybreak house, they wandered through
 the woods and over the fields. In the
 country among people who had never seen
 her amid the scenes of nature Camille Gautier became an object of love which needed no concealment. With Armand was
 a young and pretty woman whom he
 loved and who loved him in return. At
 once the past was forgotten, the future was without clouds
 She was dressed in white and chung
 to Armand's arm. The sun shone bright
 on her as on a chaste bird. The world in the distance continued it's life with out touching theirs with its shade, but smiling at their youth and love. In one
 of the winding country roads they came upon q little house of two stories with
 a lawn and charming flower beds in front
 of it. What pretty house!" said Camille
 and sighed.
 Would you be happy here?" asked Armand.
 Happy? All, yes. l should be happy
 And you would you bury yourself here?'
 So they talked and builded aircastles and
 dreamed dreams until the closing night warned them 10 return To Paris and tle dark destlnes of fate.
 That night was a weary one for Ca
 mille. Again she saw her duty plain bes
 fore her and her duty fought with her love for Armand; or rather. that love made her duty all the more plain. Armand
 was young with the opportunity of a long and useful life before him. She was
 sinking rapidly toward the grave, she was peevish. extrayagant, deadly i'll; she
 could only be burden to him. The
 name he bore was an old and honorable one and union with her would inevitably separate him from his family and from all his worldly prospects. How happy had been that vision of a future together which they had seen al Bourgevai. But how impossible of realization Shuddering, Camille turned her face to the grave and and her back on happiness with Armand. "Oh," she cried out in agony, why is Fate so inexora ble? Oh, God. am dying. IT expected 10 die. but not to suffer so' The next time that Armand sought ca- miles door he found t closed against him Madame was not Al home3 He sought Prudence. and that discreet and mature da amse coached by Camille gave him to understand that the woman was tired of him. Armand watched the house Knowing tbis. Camille fell on desperate

Armand Duval.' she repeated, and then arose and paced the room. Her agitation brought on a coughing fit, and when she took her handkerchief away from ner lips it was streaked with blood.
 Armand found Camille as Prudence had said. living in the greatest luxury, lnduls- ing in all whims of extravagance. Luxury and extravaganza had become a second nature to her. Splendid and costly sur roundings seemed to be necessity to her. II was strange that the hardy, frugal peasant race from which she sprang irard working, virtuous and stupid-should have given birth to such a fragile, sen suous. luxurious creature as Camille, with her wit and dash of recklessness. Was she the outcropping of some long-forgot- ten strain of blood? Did she concentrate in herself attributes that should have been spread over generations to adorn and grace--not crowded into single person to burn and consume?
 There was a feverlshness about the girl. a longing for excitement, and, perhaps, for love, such as she had never known. What she had promised the old duke at Bagnieres had seemed easy there; but in Paris at times there came over ler a fierce, wild longing to throw every thing to the winds and dance wildly on the wild winds of dissipation into that eternity which was rapidly approach ing her.
 When Armand called with his friend Gaston he said. ''Madelnoselle, l have al ready had the pleasure of an introduc- tion to you." Camille pretended to forget at first and then said. "Oh, yes, l re- member l fear | was very saucy that night-as I am now sometimes. But you will forgive me? 1 have whim for em- barrassing people l see for the first time. The doctors tell me 1t is because l am nervous and always in pain
 But you seem well" answered Ar mand.
 "Ah, I have been very ill., responded Camille You know that. for was it, not you who called every day to inquire for me when was first taken sick, two years aso?
 Tt was" replied Armand.
 That was kind of you said Camille, looking at the young man with frank, tender eyes How can l thank you for it2"
 ..Ie; me seo you sometimes

 The music gave Armand chance to sav to Camille things that he had wanted Go say for two years. He could scarcely believe 1t was himself mur- muring into the ear of this beautiful

woman under the cover of the gay music.
 We talk idly" said Camille sudden ly. You tell me you love me- You would best never say so. But give me your hand. Gentlemen, supper is served
 As they went out, Camille said aside:
 You are rich but do you know that I spend 5000 or 1000 frances a month ; that this expense has become neces- sary to my life? Do you not know that your family would never receive me?
 Love me as friend and come to sec
 me often. 1 speak sincerely to you, you sec"
 After that Armand did frequently call on Camille-as often, in fact, as he
 dared to do; and the love between them became franker and more intense every day, till each felt it impossible to live without the other.
 One day Camille, after a coughing fit. said to Armand: Be not distressed. outlast your love.

 as l believe never q man loved won- an before Why will you hold me thus ut
 arms length? What care l for my
 family when you are concerned? Let
 us leave this Paris together and go
 where none shall have aught to say of who we are or what we do. We can
 be happy together. We shall be mis- erable apart"
 An sighed Camille, what might
 have been What might have been. But it is too late now. Oh. those
 terrible words-too late! Armand. leave

 viled or to be nattered. Go. I be- seech you; if you love me. Go and
 never see me more. I shall at least
 carry into that mysterious region called
 death the consciousness of having done
 one good deed in that I dismissed you. Go."
 As was usual when Camille was strong ly excited her outburst was followed by one of those attacks common to her disease that left her languid and ex-

Alexandre Dumas. Jr. wrote his novel, 'The Lady with the Camelas," which in English is known as Camille when he was 8 young man. The novel needs strong expurgating and dsinfecting to be acceptable to those who read and speak English. The younger Dumas himself, apparently, felt that ''The Lady with the Camelias'' was a trifie tropic even for Paris, and the play founded on the novel, which he wrote four or five years after ward is mild and respectable compared with the original story. But it was in the novel that the younger Dumas first showed that he had inherited the genius of his father.
 Jules Janin says that the story of Ca mlle" is true story and intimates that Dumas may have played some part in it. Whatever objections may be urged against Camille it shows great orig inality, a wonderful facility in handling words and a marvellous deXterity in i'm plying more than is said. The people in "Camille" are not persons whom one would ask to dinner-but they are very interesting.

Fifty of the Tribe Are Now Living In
 Indian Territory.

From the Kansas City Star.
 Placidly smoking the pipe of peace, np- parenty forgetful of the eventful past. about 50 Indians, relatives and survivors of the renowned Modocs. who took part in the most interesting Indian rebellion in American history, are living on allot- ments near Miami. l. T. These 50 are perhaps the only survivors or relatives of the once powerful tribe.
 The Modocs. it will be remembered, were an Indian tribe of northern Califor- | mia and southern oregon. In 1872 they be- came turbulent and refused to remain l on their reservations. Gen. F. +. S. l Canby, veteran of the Mexican and 1 civil wars, was sent against them. but 1 they. after firing on the United States forces. retreated to the lava beds. The advance of the United States troops was greatly impeded by the peculiar topogra- phy of the country, and a good many of them were picked off by Indian sharp shooters concealed behind the rocks and crags of the lava beds. Efforts were then made to negotiatae with them. and conference was held between General Canby and two peace commissioners on the one hand a number of Modocs in- cludng their chief, Captain Jack, on the other. While General canby and his aids were seated on stones around small fire two Indians who were concealed in the bushes, rushed from their hiding
 
 general an1 one of his companions. A vigorous campaign was then begun against the treacheruus Indians. and in the following summer Gen. Jefferson C. Davis, who succeeded General Canby. captured the Modoc band. Captain Jack and three other leaders were tried by u military commission and hanged while two others were imprisoned for life About l00 who had not followed Captain Jack were permitted 10 remain in Cali fornia. The remainder. about 1l5. of whom the 50 are either survivors or de- scendants, were transferred to the Indian Territory. Altogether the war cost 8oo.- 00O Sixty-odd soldiers and Indian allies were killed and nearly as many were wounded

Vermont Il Good Enough.

William Walter OF Poultney has re-
turned from British Columbia where fol
the last year he has been employed by
the Pacific Coast Slate company in open.
ing slate quarry in which a little work
had been done 10 years ago. If ever a
man was happy to reach his native state
again, Mr.. Walter was that man. lie
stated yesterday that he had been over q
good part of the United States, but that
he had decided that Vermont was good
enough for him.
III had never been through Lake Cham
plain on the Rutland railroad in the day
time until today said Mr.. Walter. "and
never have witnessed anything which
struck me as being so beautiful as the
changing scenes which met my eyes as
we came from island to island, through
the lake. British Columbia is fine
place to live and the climate il excellent,
but never have | been SO glad to return
to my native state as at present"
Mr.. Walters states that the slate in
dustry is new in British Columbia but
that it is bound to grow rapidly. There
is practically no slate used for roofing
there now, as there is no slNte ft sale.
The slate in the quarry mentioned is
Dlue-black in color and of excellent quail
ity, according to Mr.. Walter. The quarry
Is located at Jarvis Inlet, IS miles north
Of Vancouver, and the nearest town is
at Pember Bay, 30 miles distant. There
is no physician living nearer than that
place, and this would be a serious disad
vantage in case OF accidents at the quar-

About 40 men are employed at the
