CHAPTER XVII.
Once More al Home.

OnCe morc AT nome.
In fewer words, with less told, Fran.
co.'s straightforwardnes metamor-
phosed the angry lad Harry Hampton
into a follower more devoted than he
had been even in the first flush OF en-
thusiasm for his rescued prisoner.
Again the boy logged his footsteps
and adored him frankly. And Francois,
enchanted to be friends again with
his friend, wondered at the goodness
and generosity of the people OF this
world. 1t is roughly true that one finds
life In general like a mirror; that II
one looks into 1t with a smile and a
cordial hand held out one meets smiles
and outstretched hands in return.
Through all his days It had happened
so with this child of French village.
So that when the day came at last
when he stood once more on the deck
of the Lovely Lucy, loaded with her
cargo OF tobacco for foreign ports,
Francois felt as IL he we're leaving
home and family. The long green car
pet of the rolling lawn OF Roanoke was
crowded with people come to tell him
good-by. All of his soldier boys were
there, the lads trained by him. one and
all ready to swear by him or to-die for
him Lucy and Harry stood together,
and the servants were gathered to do
him honor, and people had ridden from
all over the county for the farewell
His eyes dimmed with tears of CRATE
fulness, he watched them as the gang
plank was drawn up and the sails
caught the wind and the ship swung
slowly out into the stream.
Come back again-come back
again" they called from the shore.
Francois heard the deep tones of
the lads and the rich voices of the ne.
groes and he knew that some there
could not speak, even as he could not.
So he waved his hat silently, and the
ship moved faster and the faces on
the lawn seemed smaller farther away,

CHAPTER XVI.
The Finest Thlnns.

Endurance Francois own negro boy
brought note to Roanoke house on 9
morning five days after. II read:

FRANCOIS BEAUPRE."
Mademoiselle sent a fair sheet OF
paper with few unsteady scratches
across II, and sat down to live over
It was accomplished. The colonel had
ridden to Norfolk for the day-had
Francois known Of that, one wonders
Lucy. waiting in that small stately
study with the dim portraits and the
wide vague view across the fields of
the James river, heard the gay hoof
beats OF Aquarelle pound down the
gravel under the window. heard Fran
co.'s deep gentle voice as he gave the
horse TO Sambo, and waited one min
ute more, the hardest minute OF all.
Then the door had opened and he stood
there-the miracle, as it seems at such
moments to a woman, possibly to n
man-of all the gifts and qualities
worth loving.
He had made his precise bow, and
she had heard his voice saying gently:
Good morLing, mademoiselle," and
the door was closed; and they were
alone together. In flash she felt that
II could not be endured, that she must
escape. She rose hastily.
I'm sorry must go; cannot
stay"
But Francois had laughed and taken
her hand and was holding it with
tender force which thrilled her. He
understood. She knew he understood
the shame and fear of a woman who
has given love unasked; she was safe
in his hands; she knew that. With
sigh she let her fingers rest in his and
sat down again and waited.
Dear Mademoiselle Lucy" said the
deep kind voice, my first friend in
Virginia, my comrade, my little
scholar"
Why did Lucy grow cold and quiet
at these words of gentleness? Fran
co.'s was sitting beside her, holding

with the clearest affection in his look.
Yet she braced herself against she did
not know what. The voice went on
with its winning foreign infections. It's

never-to-be described power OF reach
Ing the heart.
See, mademoiselle." said Francois,

and yet he heard those following
voices calling to him, more family:
Come back again-oh, come back
again!"
And with that the negroes had
broken into melody, and the ship
moved on to the wild sweet music.
Way Down Upon de S'wanee Ribber,
the negroes sang, and the ship was at
the turn of the river. The stately walls
of Roanoke house, the green slope
crowded with figures of his friends,
the sparkling water front-the current
had swept away all of the picture and
he could only hear that wailing music
of the negroes voices, lower, more At.
full; and now 1t was gone. He had left
Virginia; he was on his way TO friends.
And for all his Joy of going, he was
heavy-hearted for the leaving.
The weeks went slowly at sea, but
after while he had landed, was in
France, was at Vicques. He had seen
his mother, with her hair whitened by
those years of his prison life-a happy
woman now, full of business and re.
sponsibility, yet always with a rapt
look in her face as of one who lived in
deep inner quiet. He had talked long
talks with his prosperous father and
slipped into his old place among his
brothers and sisters, utterly refusing
to be made a stranger or great man
And over and over again he had told
the story of his capture and the story
of his escape,
At the castle the returned wanderer
picked up no less the thread dropped
so suddenly seven years before. The
general to whom the boy seemed his
boy risen from the dead, would hardly
let him from his sight; Alike kept him
in tingling atmosphere of tenderness
and mockery and slsterly devotion
which thrilled him and chilled him and
made him blissful and wretched in
turns. The puzzle of Alike was more
unreadable than the puzzle of the
sphinx to the three men who loved her

Unfortunate Gallantry.

To his little native town a busy city
man recently returned for a visit. rs
he had not seen the place nor its peo.
pie for long time, he was kept pretty
busy greeting old friends. Among
those whom he encountered was an
elderly spinster. who beamed upon
him with:
"Oh, Mr.. Smith! | am sure you
don't remember mel"
Remember you!" gallantly er
claimed the city man, quite carried
away by his wish to be friendly "As
II could forget you. Miss Dixon.
Why, you are one of the landmarks
of the old town."

for right things to come. Some such
crosswlse heavenly messenger gripped
the mind of Alike, and she said what
she hated herself for saying. and saw
the quick result in the downcast
misery of poor Francois face. And
then the same cruel, wise angel turned
his attention to Francois. "If she
thinks that, let her" whispered the
perverse one. Let 1t go at that; say
yes"
And Francois lifted mournful eyes
and repeated, "That you should love
Pietro-yes--that Is what have
wished for all my life.

Eugene w. Chafn. in an address at
Dallas, Tex, urged that it was not the
aim of the party to obtain constitutional
amendments and legislation, hut to get
control of the executive department OF
the government. Prohibitionists, he
said should not waste their time
signing petitions for local option and
statewide prohibition elections. "The

In speaking of the tariff question at
Rochester, \. Y. Representative I'm

Trained from doing 80. They pretend
that they were DISTINGUISHED. They

was open to them to put their electors
