self at home with his flock as soon al

recipients Of these attentions was
Farmer Jones, whose family the new
parson had noticed to be very regular
and apparently very devout attend
ants at church. Farmer Jones was
out, but his wife received the parson,
when the following dialogue took
place: II am your new rector, Mrs.

Alexandra Dumas rise to wealth
and luxury was almost as marvellous
as that Of his most celebrated hero.
He built magnificent chateau. which
he named Monte Christie. There he en-
tertained all Corners. friend and stran-
ger alike, with more than oriental
magnificence and sometimes with orr
entail mystery. His purse was open to
all who sought it. and the day came
when he experienced Timon's fate
without acquiring Timon's disposition
He could not become misanthrope,
though his fortune disappeared almost
as suddenly as it came, and then he
learned the ingratitude of men. His
last days were passed not in poverty,
but in narrow circumstances. He left
Paris in the fall of 1870 Just as the
German army was closing in to be-
siege it and when France was feeling
its deepest woe. To the last he pre-
served his gayety and youthful spirit.
