to go by train. SO as to throw the
ghost of the scent); all this had to
be settled and provided for; and 1t
occupied him until nine o'clock at
night.
At nine o'clock, sort OF travelling
barOuche with the curtains OF its win
dows close-down. took its place in the
rank ON the Rotunda side. 1t was
drawn by two powerful horses driven
by coachman whose face was al
most concealed in the long folds OF a
muffler. In front of this travelling
carriage were three broughams, be-
longing respectively to Carlotta, who
had suddenly returned to Paris. to
Sorelli and, at the head OF the rank.
to Comte Philippe de Chagny. No one
left the barouche. The coachman re-
mained on his box. and the three other
coachmen remained on theirs.
A shadow in a long black cloak and
soft black felt hat passed along the
pavement between the Rotunda and
the carriages. examined the barouche
carefully. went up to the horses ard
the coachman and then moved away
without saying a word The magis.
trate afterward believed that this
shadow was that OF the Vicomte RaouI
de Chagny; but l do not agree, seq

was that OF the ghost. who knew all
about the whole affair. as the reader

GROWING STRONGER
Apparently, with Advancing Ago.

AT the age OF 80 years l collapsed
from excessive coffee drinking" writes
a man in Mo. For four years sham
bled about with the aid OF crutches or
cane, most of the time unable to
dress myself without help.
MY feet were greatly swollen my
right arm was shrunken and twisted
inward, the fingers of my right hand
were clenched and could not be ex-
tended except with great effort and
pain. Nothing seemed to give me more
than temporary relief.
Now, during all this time and for
about 30 years previously, drank
daily an average OF cups of strong
coffee-rarely missing meal
my wife at last took my case into
her own hands and bought some
Postum. She made 1t according to d.
rections and | liked 1t fully as well
as the best high-grade coffee.
Improvement set In at once. In
about months began to work n lit
tie, and In less than year l was very
much better. improving rapidly from
day to day. I am now In far better
health than most men OF my years
and apparently growing stronger with
advancing age.

WHAT FAMOUS slEeES COST
Reduction Of Fortified PIaces, stub
bornly Defended, Means Fearful
Loss Of Human Life.

No details are yet available OF the
losses incurred in the reduction ot
Adrianople by the Balkan nations, but
they are bound to be enormous. The
capture Of Port Arthur cost Japan a.
coo wounded and $4,000 dead In the
Franco-Gernan war the loss OF the
besiegers was very small in all cases.
But that was because the French gar
rison surrendered quickly, or where
the French held out the Germans did
not attempt an assault. Strasburg was
taken with a loss OF S66 men. Belfort
cost the Germans 2.100 men. At Paris,
Metz. and the other places the loss
was Insignificant.
In 1877 the Russians besieged two
fortified places held by the Turkish
troops. Kars was carried by a sur
prise night attack. at which the Rus
SLAMS lost 1890 men. Pievna showed a
very different result. Here the Rus
SLAMS carried out three assaults, all OF
which failed. and their total loss in
killed and wounded amounted to the
immense number Of q, 700 officers and
men, or nearly one-third of the besieg-
ing army
The great siege Of sabastopol in 1855
was a desperate affair It lasted II
months. and in that period the Rus
slams had $4,000 men killed and wound
ed, while the French and British be.
sieging forces lost $4,000 In this case,
however, the Russians were able to
get reinforcements to the end.
AT Delhi the British loss was 4,S50
killed and wounded The siege Of San
Sebastian cost 1000 men, and the
famous siege of Rochelle, carried out
over four centuries ago. cost no few.
er than 10000 men. IN this case eight
assaults were delivered.
The United States lost heavily in
the siegcs of the Civil war. To give
ore instance. the federal army had TO-.
600 killed and wounded in tAe two
assaults delivered or Petersburg.
