stirring in the bed, for fear his gaze
might awake the sleeper. For he
slept; the sound of the KEYS had only
Jared some chord in his uneasy
dream. Long minutes after the snor-
ing was in full progress again Fran
co.'s waited. and then with careful
fingers he clasped the entire bunch of
keys softly and carried them into the
next room.
There was low light there. on the
wTiting-ta Francois slipped the
thin. old, brass key which he knew
off from the bunch: he glanced about
quickly and found the flint and steel
on its table and put them in his
pocket; he took down that small
saber, with its well-polished scab-
bard and buckled it about himself;
then thought came TO him. A sheet

write letter; pen and ink were

governors chair and wrote:

Still the count snored. Francois,
alert, stood and listened as he folded
the note carefully and laid il under
a weight on the table. Then he
tempted providence no longer. He
slid the battered, bright, old. brass
key softly into the lock, let himself
into the dark stairway. relocked the
door on the inside, CROPPED his way
painfully down the steep stairs into
the wine-cellar. and when he felt a
level floor under his feet struck a
light with the governors flint and
steel. He lighted one of his candle
ends. The wine-cellar. which he had
left only two hours before. seemed
almost homelike; it lacked the COVER

EnuIand,s Basket Ju,.Ie.s.y

Centuries ago justice in England
was not administered nearly 80 i'm
partially as 1t Is now. There were the
basket Justices" who received their
nickname from the presents openly
handed up to them In court by suitors.
And In more recent times there were
the trading Justices" satirized by
Fielding In Amelia" Townsend, the
celebrated Bow street runner, In his
evidence before a parliamentary COM
mittee in 1916 described how these
justices used to issue patches Of war

poor devils on the streets so as to
charge them Is. 4d. each as bail. Only
the penniless offenders were sent to
gaol, and a mornings work would
sometimes produce FLO $780," after
which the worthy magistrate and his
clerk would adjourn to neighboring
hostelry for refreshment. - London

wedded 70 n VaRe,

Not long ago considerable commo-
tion was caused in the Chinese city OF
Hankow when the attractive and popu-
lar daughter Of a prominent Chinese
official was married with great pomp
and ceremony to a large red vase
which was supposed to represent de-
ceased bridegroom who had died a few
years before his marriage, whereupon
his grief stricken bride elect declared
that she would never marry any one
else, but would devote herself as a
widow for the rest Of her life to the
family Of her husband. In order to do
this. however. II was necessary that
she should legally belong to that fam
lily. and SO the strange ceremony with
the vase was gone through with to ena-
bic her to become a member Of the
family. Since then 1t has been sug-
gested that an arch should be built In
the city IN order to commemorate the
devotion of the young girl to the hus.
band she never had.-Chicago Tribune.

Whore the Esrth's Crust 10 Thinnest.

Where the Earth's Crust 10 Thinnest.
Italy is visited by an excessive
number Of earthquakes and volcanic
disturbances because 1t is the newest
part Of the earth's surface" declares
NJ. Peprett of Paris, a French geolo-
gist Of authority. People, especially
those living in the western hemis-
phere, look upon Europe and all of the
eastern hemisphere, In fact, as the "old
world" which, taken one way, is right.
But In the matter Of the formation Of
the earth's crust, which biologists now
agree is the result of the cooling of the
great molten mass that makes our
earth, 1t so happened that the section
round about Italy was the last to cool
and consequently has not yet cooled to
80 great depth as other portions of
the world. This, then, makes Italy
the newest part Of the worlds surface,
II our biologists are correct in their es-
timation regarding the hardness In the
cooling Of that particular section
