There were two absorbing passions

There was also d temporary passion

bis leisure moments at his favorite
game, and when he could do SO with
out risk appropriated their belongings.
One morning after be had heard the
reports of his jailers and attended to
the usual routine of business he sat
down TO 4 game Of chess with his
daughter, who was the best opponent
he could get. He beat her several
games and threw himself back in his
chair, with a deprecatory shrug and
grunt. At that moment an attendant
entered and said that young man de-
sired to speak with the governor A
boy OF about eighteen was ushered In
and thus addressed him:
Citizen. ] have heard OF your skill

At this compliment Tangre's breast
gweIled like that of pouter pigeon.

have the honor to oppose?"

replied the young man, taking the seat
left vacant by Julie Tangre

a trip to Europe last year for the pur-

farmers. He declared that they were
