] er for an hour. at the end Of which
time NJ de la Tour received an invita-
ton to call.
A few days later Frau and Frau
lein Streilitz took the train for DiIon.
At the railway station NJ. do Ia Tour
came up to them. bearing bouquet
OF flowers, which. with a look OF In
tense devotion. be handed to Lena.
1T is for you" he said, Ito satisfy
yourselves. Here are your tickets
first class. including return
Frau Streilitz accepted the tickets
without qualm, while Lena blushed
and exclaimed:
"Oh. mammal
M. de Ia Tour gave the young lady
a glance OF mingled reproof and ten
derness. His last words were to her:
Il beg you to give the flowers TO my
dear mother. who. with others OF our
family, win meet you at the station"
The journey was not interrupted ex-
cept for half an hour on the border be-
tween Switzerland and France. where
the train stopped for the custom ex-
aminations. The fraulein opened to
them her belongings and permitted an
Inspector to get Whit Of the per-
fume OF her flowers. When-the ordeal
was over the train went on.
At Dion a young man ON the watch
for them announced himself as CASTOR
de la Tour and introduced a white
haired lady as his mother Lena at
once handed her the bouquet.
This way to the carriage" said NJ.
CASTOR, and the frau and the frauieln
were hurried out Of the station, put
In a cab and driven away.
That was the last they ever saw OF
any of the De Ia Tours. They returned
the next day to the unsympathetic hus-
hand and father.
Well" said Papa Streilitz, what
did you discover
Lena put her handkerchief to her
eyes. and her mother made no reply.
Her brow was very dark. After awhile
she gave her experience to her hus-
band. ending as follows:
THE driver drove US some distance
and stopped before large dwelling
house. Wondering why these people
had left us. we went to the front door
and knocked. A maid came to the
door. and when we asked If the De
n Tours lived there she said No and
shut the door In our faces"
What was the object OF thus mis-
leading these good people was not for
long time developed. Then one day
n smuggler was arrested for carrying
Swiss goods across the border into
France without paying duty. AT his
trial It came out that the bouquet
Fraulein Streilitz carried contained
$1,000 francs worth Of watch springs.

For rapidly of composition the prize

he had some share According to Mr.
Arthur +. Davidson, one of bis biog-
raphers, he often declared that when
once he had mapped out in bis mind
the scheme Of a novel or play the
work was practically accomplished.
since the mere writing OF it presented
no difficulty and could be performed as
fast as the pen could travel. Some one
disputed thi& the result was wager.
Dumas had in his head the plan Of
the ''Chevalier de 10 Maison Rouge"

MILLION FOR TUBERCULOSIS"
This the Object Of the New Issue Of Red
Cross Seals.

New York. Sept. 29.---eA million for
tuberculosis" il the slogan Of the 1910
Red Cross Christmas stamp campaign.
The familiar little seals that are seen
OH letters at Christmas time have proved
such q success that this year about a
hundred millions Of them will probably
be printed Already twenty-five million
have been struck or and win soon be
placed on sale. The Red Gross has a
new scheme this year for the sale of
the seals 1t will sell them to local
associations, and these associations will
receive S7ih per cent. of the PROFITS, the
other 1917 per cent. going to pay the
expenses of getting them out. What Ia
left will be divided equally between the
Red Cross and the National Association
for the Study and Prevention OF Tubcr-
culosis
The stamps, which arc of an attractive
design this year, may be placed on the
backs. as we'll a. the fronts of letters
The reason that the Red Cross desires
to have them known as Seals is that
last year the dead letter Office OF the
post Office was packed with missiyes
bearing only the Red Cross stamps
Many ignorant persons and some not
20 ignorant believed that the seals pre-
paid postage. About forty millions of
them were printed last year, and the
sum realized amounted to about $3.50,
900. Stamps Of this character were used
in Brooklyn and Boston as far back as
1862, in connection with Civil war ba-
zaars and fairs. They disappeared for
a time, but Jacob Riis, finding them used
in Norway in tuberculosis campaign,
wrote an article about them, which in.
duced the Delaware state association to
adopt them in 1907 About $4,000 was
raised in three weeks in Delaware and
eastern Pennsylvania. They were first
used nationally in 1905 and sl35,000
was raised by the Red Cross.
