Making UP tho French Census.

Vervins, in the Aisne, has had Sc
we're shock and has escaped tragic
fate by only hairs breadth, writes
a correspondent of the London Tele-
graph. At the last census it's popula-
ton was returned as 99,890 souls.
This spelled disaster, for hitherto Yer
wins had sent two members to the
house, while towns with a population
of under 100000 are entitled to only
one.
To be short of, one member of par
lament was disgrace which the cor.
poration of Vervins could not bear. A
providential means of saving the town
from such downfall has been hit
upon The corporation discovered
that 300 laborers from neighboring
village had spent the night of March 5
last, on which the census was taken,
just within the boundaries of the town
of Vervius. They had been returned
as only passing occupants, according
to the rule, but the Vervius corpora
ton had coolly annexed them on pa,
per, and thus brought it's population
to total of 100 souls over the re.
quired 100000 and the constituency
will retain, or at all events hopes to
retain, it's two members.

Marguerife's
GrandchiId
By Dorothy Blackmore

copyright. 1911. by Associated Literary
Press.)
Ned Cannaught sat over his coffee
in the luxurious lounge of the Chateau
Del Monte. 1t was his habit to post
pone the smoking of his cigar until
his coffee had been brought to him
each evening in this palm-decked
rendezvous of the fashionable summer
hotel in which he was spending the
summer.
Cannaught had reason for choos-
ing this place to loiter in-he needed
to see people, to hear the gay babble
OF merry groups of people. He had
been too long in his gloomy studio in
town doing nothing but work, and
there had come to him the moment
when he discovered that If he did not
get out among human beings again he
would forget how they talked and act
ed and lived. His dialogue would be-
come stilted; his situations unnatural
and he would lose his footing in the
literary world
What mattered 1t If the gay PSF
sifiage that f1oated about aim was
merely the babble of dilletantes and
amateurs? 1t was what he needed,
and each evening he watched the
ever changing groups of human beings
who frequented this inn.
Tonight the voice of woman had
reached his ears and he turned to see
her. He waved off the cloud of smoke
he had blown before him. the better to
view her.
She was tall and we'll built with an
obviously foreign bearing and yet
she was an American. Cannaught

knew this from her accent Her toll
cite was simple yet individual and the
lorgnette she piled added not one whit
of artificiality. She had exquisite
coloring and hair, and her eyes,
though they did not see we'll, were
wonderfully beautiful.
She chatted with intimates. She had
motored down to the chateau and was
making her adieux.
A woman friend held her hand lin
geringly in both her own. 1T is so
good to have you back, Marguerite, :"
she said. France and Italy have
done much for you"
Marguerite laughed in soft little
way she had. You're so good. But
do come soon-Oyster Bay 719-and
see my grandchild. 1t was she who
brought me back to this country"
I'm come, indeed, to see hel-and
you,' said the woman, following the
tall Marguerite with her eyes until she
was out OF sight.
Cannaught thoughtfully slipped the
black coffee and his eyes sought the
door through which Marguerite had
passed.
Her grandchild" he said to himself.
Then he blew set of smoke rings
and watched them expand and disap-
pear into thin air Her grandchild,"
he repeated.
Thereafter, as he sat watching men
and women come and go, Ned Can
naught had always in mind one thing
another sight of-Marguerite. OF
all the women he had seen in this
place none had attracted him as had
this one.
Against his own desires and inclin-
ations he began to cultivate the
guests who lived at the chateau and
occasionally he would join them in
the lounge after dinner instead of
sitting alone. Perhaps someone might
know her; perhaps she would come
again.
Cannaught was sure she had an in
teresting story to tell; she must have
ii at surely not more than thirty-four
she had a grandchild. The latter fact
seemed incredible but she had stated
it with her own lips and her friend had
seemed not at all astonished
Summer was waning and Cannaught
longed again for the quiet of his stu.
do and the companionship of his
personal surroundings. He had anoth-
er week to remain at the chateu ac-
cordng to the promise made to him
self early in the season, and he was
sitting fretfully in his accustomed
place behind bank of palms. Be.
fore him was tabourett, with his
coffee and cigars.
Presently, he heard bell boy say,
THAT is Mr.. Cannaught, behind the
palms.
Then, voice answered, Thank you,
I'll find him myself. now"

Artificial Leather.

A prize of 5000 francs has been
awarded to Belgian inventor, Louis
Gevaert, for his unusual superior arti-
fetal leather. The process consists
in the more or less intimate impreg-
nation of stout cloth with tannic al.
buminoid substances. Shoes made of
this are said to possess not only the
resistance and elasticity of natural
leather, but its durability of wear,
Moreover, they are much cheaper,
costing, including manufacture, only
four francs (about so cents) and be
ing sold at about six francs per
pair.

stood before him, a letter in her hand.
"Mr. Cannaught?" she said, look.

lorgnette. There was slight inflec-

rogation.
Cannaught laid down his cigar and
stood quickly. ut is. l, Madame" he
said.

great lounge on which he himself had
been sitting. Maguerite sank down
into it.

naught exclaimed as he scanned the
note. How good to hear of him again
and he introduces you-Miss Carver"
extending his hand, I'm happy to
say" If he hesitated over the prefix
to her name, Marguerite did not no
tice it,

to her words-they would keep. I'D

irrelevantly I'm curious about your
grandchild-Miss Carver?
Marguerite drew her shoulders to-
gether in a characteristic manner and
her eyes twinkled. How did you
know" she asked.
The first time / saw you you were
here in this lounge begging some
friend to come to see your grand
child"
Isn't it funny?"
Cannaught laughed. every. How
does it happen?"
II have sister who is as much as
seventeen years younger than whom

would become as hard to please as
am-if she waited. The little one

Cannaught did and felt strangely
relieved docs old Bradley have

Marguerite nodded. "Will you come
to visit him?"
After you return, might" Can
naught said, pointedly. I'D like you

door to you on the Bay of Naples

How about-Bradley? she asked.
