remarked the police surgeon, land

advice may affect you to an early
compliance"
Well" sighed the chief, regretful-
ly, when a thing has to be done, it
is better to do it at once and cross
the Rubicon swiftly, than to delay.
But | had hoped that some less I'M
palatable medicine than an absence
of two weeks from the prefecture and
Paris would meet the exigency of my
case"
But the fact remains" returned the
surgeon, positively, that complete
rest is the only thing that will ban
ish your insomnia and remove the
languid feeling that Expresses you.
There is nothing organically wrong;
your muscles are iron and your ply
sique would be a credit to an athlete
of 20. But the system needs toning
up which can only be gained through
vacation in the country that will take
you away from the center of this
seething whirlpool of political and

fine afternoon in July the humble inn

blackness and imparting a somber
tinge to his eyebrows.
"Of truth" NJ Quentin informed
his latest customer, the good saints

had not monsieur come respect
able and much to be desired citizen,
who purposed honoring Deseil with his
presence for two whole weeks. And
the day before arrived the foreign
gentleman, he of the Americas, Cap
tain Radcliffe, who might remain for
a lengthy period of time. That too
was we'll, for were they not rich, these
Americans, and should monsieur the
captain, who without doubt was one
of the mobiles Of his country, praise the
Golden Grape when he returned home,
might there not also come many of
his compatriots anxious to see with
their own eyes if the truth had been
spoken?"
Thus mine host, to whose joyous
explanations and ready stream of Cos
