Nnnendnents suggested.
There are MANY other things tina
his department has TO deal with that
might be mentioned. but his renort is
already too long; however before clos
ing 1t I feel it my duty to ugges the
following amendments and changes in
our laws:
First. a general revision Of the laws
covering practice and procedure in the
courts Of the state. Simplify court
methods by revealing every provision
that permits delay as a matter OF right
by motion or other pleading, so that
il may no longer be said, as IL was just
recently by one Of our prominent dis
trict Judges that st is absurd to re-
verse a civil case and send It back for
retrial because of the non-observance
Of some teehnicality that has nothing
to do with the merits Of the case, and
it is a travesty upon justice TO dis
charge some criminal who is unques-
tiorably guilty, merely because some
mouldy precedent was not followed
Second. Rearrange and readjust the
judicial districts of the state. Under
the present arrangement some Of the
districts have more business thar can
Re speedily and p-onerly disposed Of
while many of them do not have
enough 70 Keep the courts busy half Of
the time.
Third. Increase the salary Of the at
torney general and his assistant. The
salary Of the head of the department:
.e ;.sttee ar~h. 70 he the same as the
salary now paid to ths members OF the
supreme court. md the annua salary

should laugh at jacques when Toni dis
played him, and tell Nine. Marcel she
could have bought couple of boxes OF
tin soldiers for one-half the bonbons
she had given Denise. But Toni had
known all the time that very few grown
people know anything about boys, ana
was simply filled with contempt for Nile.
Duval She was thin and ugly, too, not
round and plump like bis own mother,
and had the bad taste TO prefer clean

feelings toward Denise had been purely
Of a mercenary character. but from the
day she restored Jacques little Seeding
sentiment spraRg up IN TOMS heart;
the great masser OF all passions had
planted II there. It was something
like what he felt for Paul Verney-a
sense Of well-being. even Of protection,
when Denise was near. She had acted
the part of guardian angel, she had re-
stored Jacques to him. and she did not
seem 10 mind his dirty face and grimy
hands. She acquired bewitching habit
Of dividing with Toni the stale apple tarts
her aunt gave her, and. reckoning 10 him
across the street. she would have him sit
by her on the bench under the acacia
tree and always give him at least two
thirds OF the tarts.
A few days after the tragedy OF
Jacques loss and return, Sergt. Duval,
Denise's father, appeared for his annual
visit to Bienville. The story of jacques
was told 10 him. and when he came over
to pay his call OF ceremony on Nine.

about Jacques. Toni. much displeased al
this, retired 20 his usual place OF refuge
under the counter. and concluded that
when he married Denise he would con-
trive TO be absent during Sergt. Duval's
annual visit.

they saw Nine Ravenel There was
something sad, beautiful, touching. and
interesting about her. Paul could not
put II into words, but he felt It, as did
many other people.
Nine. Ravenel went 70 church every
morning. and when Paul was dressing
himself IN his little bedroom, of from
his fathers and mothers room, he could
always see her returning from church.
And what was most remarkable to
Paul, Capt. Ravenel was always either
with Nine Ravenel or not far behind her.
He did not go into the church. but with
a book OF a newspaper IN his hand. walked
up and down outside until Nine. Rave
mel appeared, when he would escort her
home, And so II was almost always
the case. when Nine. Ravenel appeared
on the street that Capt. Ravenel was not
far away. It would seem as il he kept
within protecting distance. He was a
soidierly appearing man. serious looking.

Nine Ravenel was always beautiful.
always sad. always gentle. and al
ways In black. Paul had noticed, in
passing the church sometimes. that
Nine. Ravenel never went beyond the
entrance and never sat down, even on
Sundays. She only went a few steps
inside the church door. and Paul asked
his mother why this was. Nine. Verney
shut him I'D shortly with that we'll
known maxim that little boys should not
ask questions. Some time after that
Paul, still wondering about Nine Rave
mel. asked his father why she looked so
sad. and why Capt Ravenel never
stopped and laughed and talked with the
officers walking the streets. or dining at
the cafes or strolling in the park, and
NJ Verney gave him the same reply as
Niue. Verney, which was most discouraging,

such as having found pot of gold
somewhere, or having had their only
child stolen from them. or some Of those
delightfully."- romantic tales which a
twelve~year-old boy can imagine. He
was no less interested In Lucie on ind
ing that she belonged IN some way 20
Nine. Ravenel. He had walked on a
| considerable distance in the park, and
was trying TO screw UP his courage TO
turn around and walk back past the
bench where Lucie sat. when he sud

eyes glowed brightly. and she was tip

suit of white linen. and his little cane in
his hand. II was about 4 o'clock in the
afternoon, and even the shady paths OF
the park glowed with a beautiful, mys-
FERROUS. green light. AS Paul walked
along. he heard whisper in his ear. 1t
was Toni. who had crept up from be
hind a clump Of shrubbery and said TO
him:
There she is. just down that path, sit
ting with Capt. and Nine. Ravenal and
holding Nine. RaveRels hand
Paul following the path, came at once
on the bench where sat his divinity, as
Toni had described. He doubted II he
would have had the courage 10 bow to
her. but Lucie called out:
"Oh. that is the nice little boy who was
reading the English book yesterday"
Paul, blushing up TO the roots of his
reddish hair. made three bows. one 10
Nine Ravenel, one to Lucie, and one
to Capt. Ravenel Nine. Ravenei re-
turned his bow. as did the captain, with
much gravity, and Paul passed on, his
heart beating with rapture He had
cutie often seen the Ravenels and
knew them by name. They were appar-
entity the only sad-lool1ing persons in all
BienviIle. They lived in a small, high,
gloomy, old house with a garden at the
back, just around the corner from the
little street in which Nine. Marcel had
her shop Capt Rayenel was a retired
officer, but no one ever saw him talking
with any Of the officers of the garrison,
nor was he ever known either to enter
any Of their houses or to welcome any
officers to his house.
Nine Ravenel was the most beautiful
woman in Bienville. She was about
thirty, but so ad-looking that she
seemed much older. She always wore
hlaek-sot widows black or mourning,
but black gowns which, although very
simple, had an air Of elegance that set
off her rare beauty wonderfully. Paul
had seen her nearly every day since the
Raveneis first came 10 Bienville three
years before, but he did not remember
ever having seen Lueie until the glor-
ious hour when she burst on his dag
zled vision and took his book away
from him. From the time he could first
remember seeing Nine. Ravenel he had
never passed her without a feeling COM
| ing into his boyish soul like when he
saw the moon looking down on the dark
water under the bridge. or heard the
melancholy song of the nightingale in
the evening He had conhded this feel
ing TO Toni, who answered that both he
and Jacques felt the same way when

much-very much-but 1 never have a
chance 10 see anything OF them. How
ever. just now 1 began TO chase a but
terfiy and my sister Sophie did not call
me back But you are the butterfly"
And at this she burst into a ripple OF
impish laughter.
Paul was so surprised that he did not
have time 10 be shocked AT the holiness
on the part of this young lady of ten
years, but his heart began TO thump vio-
lently and he was trembling when he
said TO her:
But aren't you afraid TO leave your
sister,
Not in the least" replied Lucie airily.
Il am half American, and American chill
dren are not afraid Of anything, so Har-
per, my nursery governess, says What
can happen TO me? And besides that,
have always had my own way-that Is,
almost always-I had It about coming to
see my sister Sophie. Would you like
me to tell you about it."
Paul was only too charmed to hear
anything Lueie might tell him, although
IN panic for fear the ierce-lcoking Eng
lish nursery governess might appear.
Lueie. without further ado, seated her
self with him on the ground. and, stick
ing her little slippered feet out on the
grass, began, with the afr of schehera-
zade. when with confidence she turned
her matchless power on the bridegroom
who meant to murder her next morning:
Sophie, you know, is my sister, al
though she is much older than am. We
had the same papa. but not the same
mamma. but Sophie was just like mamma

married then to another man named
Count Delorme. How I hated hint He
was so crosS-cross to me and cross to
Sophie and cross to everybody. He had
a son, too, when Sophie married him, and
that boy-Edouard was his name-was
horrid. Just like Count Deiorne. lived
with Sophie then, and once 3 year
would go and visit my Grandmother Ber-
nard. She is very tall and handsome
and always wears black velvet or black
satin and looks very fierce. Everybody is
afraid of her except me. But she isn't
really In the least fierce. and I have my
own way with her much more than I
have with Sophie. Ali that grandmamma
