not so much the thing itself that an
gered him as the whole situation. The
Choiseuls, the Duchcsse de 4Gramont,
the thousand and one bitter enemies of
the Du Barry all were conspiring to
make his bed of roses a bed of thorns ;
the balled-mongers were helping as far
as they could.
He flung the thing on the floor with
so much ill-temper that the favorite
forgot her own anger and began to
laugh.
Fortunately. dear France, if we have
not a De Sartincs to make these gen
tlemen eat their own words, we have
De Maupeou." She handed the king
the order of inquiry which Dc Maui
peou had brought her. and De Maui
peou, who knew the king better than
she did, cursed inwardly as he watched
him reading it, knowing that in his
present temper his majesty was i'm
practicable.
What he feared happened.

But at present it seems to me there IS

But. your majesty" said De Maui
peou, 1T is not against the versihers
that this paper is directed. though in
deed it includes them in its net, but a
serious conspiracy against the welfare
of the state"
His majesty imagined, from finding
De Maupeou and Madame du Barry
together. that this serious conspiracy
to which the vice chancellor alluded
had to do with the tormentors of the
favorite. De Maupeou would strike
them, no doubt, and they would strike
back. He did not mind De Maupeou
striking them, but he objected to their
striking back and all the fuss and fury
of a prosecution ably defended. He
loved peace. not for its sake but for
his own sake
We'll, we will sec Come TO me to-
morrow and we will talk the matter
over. I am ennuie" He approached
the macaw and examined it with seri-

Madame du Barry held him with a
glance.

Andrew Jackson, one of our old
aud much respected farmers, was
found dying in field ON his farm,

working around his fences, and not
returning to the house as soon as
expected, Harry Nolkemper, who
has the farm rented, rent ont to
find him, and discovered the old man
lying on the ground gasping his last
breath. Mr.. jackson, whose wife
died Il couple of months ago, was
- years old, and it is supposed that
he died of IA stroke of paralysis,
having previously had a stroke. He
has lived here and in Ste. Gene
