The Comte de Lussac opened the
door, helped his companion to descend,
and followed her into the house, the
door of which had been opened at the
sound of the carriage wheels by an old
servant white bearded, and dressed in
a livery that was an obvious misft.
Any letters, Placide?" asked his
mistress as she crossed the hall toward
the stairs leading to the first floor
and the drawing room.

in q grumbling voice:

The baroness laughed as she led the
way upstairs.
"Placide is an original" she said,
opening. h door of her boudoir and
exposing a pretty little salon decorated
and upholstered in a scheme of blue;
an escritore stood in n corner, two
windows gave a view of the Rue Con
Heron, and between the windows, on
an ormolu table. a great bowl OF hot
house flowers, filled the air with their
fragrance.

CHAPTER ".

THE PHILOSOPHY OF PASSION.
Madame La Baronne had made some
small purchases before entering the
silk room, and these the Comte de Lus-
sac, taking them from the hand of the
assistant, carried after her to the door
of her carriage.
She directed the coachman to drive
her home. then, When she was seated
with the parcels beside her, she said to
tn young man, who was standing hat in
hand at the door, will you not get in?"
Bowling low, he did as she asked him,
closed the door, and the carriage
started.
Emotional, deeply in love, scarcely
rs years of age, and with s%ensibilities
that neither time nor the world had
hardened. the young man, for the first
time alone. with this woman who had
fascinated him, could scarcely speak.
Then, with the charming impulsive-
ness of youth and in a manner quite
without offense, he boldly laid his hand
upon her little gloved hand resting in
her lap. Without ~resenting the action,
she released her hand and with a smile
that atoned for her words, said, II did
not ask you to take a seat in my car
riage for that purpose, but because l
wished to speak to you alone. Are you
my friend?"
'tOh, Madame!" cried De Lussac.
For days past l have sought the OPP
portunity to see you, to speak to you
alone, to tell you quite plainly that I
have but one thought in the world and
that is you, to tell you without any of
those compliments that men use to-
ward women that / nave but one desire
in life. to die for you if need be-and
you ask me am l you friend!"
She looked at him for a moment
meditatively, almost seriously. Older
than he, a woman Of the world, with
MANY a Shaffaroa il1,,ajor or1 , ro{,,ra
that, however Maynard, always re-
turned to- balance, the truth and ingen-
uousness of the young man pleased her
as we are always pleased by the thing
that is real.
Tell me-" said she. You speak as
as though YOU had proved me from
long acquaintanceship. Do you even
know who / ann"
D I know who you are! All, do I
not!"
Who, then. am IT"

She laughed.
Where do I come from?"

which, indeed, Is far enough removed

She laughed again, not seeing for
a moment how her words had struck
him nor how pale he had become.
You leave on friday" he said. On

4 BOY INTERPRETER
a Young Massachusetts swede in Can.
ada Tweng YearssAa3 Wants
to Return.

Twenty years ago. a blond-haired
young Swede, a boy of about 10 years
of age accompanied a party of his
fellow-countrymen on the then long
trip to Western Canada al an inter-
prefer. The party he accompanied To-
Gated at Wetaskiwin, Alberta, now one
of the most thriving and best settled
districts in Western Canada. For
three years he remained in the dis
trict. Inconsistencies took him back
to his home at Fitchburg. Mass. and
he has remained there for II years.
He has heard frequently from his
friends in the West. He has followed
their movements and watched their
progress. He has heard how the town
he helped to establish has risen from
a shack to a growing. thriving, brisk
business center, with the surrounding
country peopled now by thousands
who are occupying the territory in
which he was one of the first to help
plant the colony of twenty or twenty
five. In his letter to an official OF the
Department Of the Interior, he says:
when I was up In Canada, Calgary
was a small town and 30 was Edmon-
ton, but ] understand they have grown
wonderfully SINCE"
The young mar when he went last
learned a machine trade, he has pat
ents and inventions but he wants to
go to Canada again. And he likely
will, but when he does he will find a
greater change than he may expect.
Calgary and Edmonton are large
cities, showing marvellous and wonder
full growth. Where but one line of
railway made a somewhat %tortuous
and indefinite way across the plains
to its mountain pass. there are three
lines of railway dividing the trade Of
hundreds of thousands of farmers,
carrying freight to the hundreds
of towns and cities crossing and
criss-crossing the prairies in all
directions, reaching out into. new
settlements, and preceding districts to
be newly opened for incoming settlers.
He will not be able to secure a home
stead unless at a considerable distance
from the town, the three dollar an
acre land is selling at from SIS to $35
n acre. He will find now what was
but a theory then. that this land that
was then So an acre is worth the $50
OF $35 that may be asked for it, and a
good deal more But he will find that
he can secure a homestead Just as
good al any that were taken in his
day, and today worth $35 an acre, but
at some distance from a line of rail-
way, yet with a certainty of railway
in the near future, and he will find too
that he a still get land at SIS to $18
an acre that will in a year or two be
worth $50 or s35 an acre. Mr.. Nose
son is talking to his countrymen about

They Now Make MIX to Order for BAD,

From the Wisconsin State Journal.
What do you say, to feeding the baby
on artificial milk?
NO COWS milk, CT goats milk or milk
from any other natural source, but real
milk just the sarle.
one Of those fearfully clever German
scientists has invented artificial milk. but
he's keeping it Q secret just like the other
German, FriedInann, is keeping his con-
sumption serum a secret.
His cowless milk contains everything
that regular milk contains and is sub
1ect to the same changes. 1t can be used
for making butter and cheese in the same
way. Its difference lies in its cleanliness
and In the fact that it can be made to
order. Every mother knows that there Is
cows and that while one kind of cows
milk will make the baby fat another kind
VIII make it sick. Hence the modified
milk, the rectified milk. the sterilized milk,
etc., that dairymen advertise and charge
extra for. There'l be no such complaint
from the cowless milk, they tell US.
The doctor knows just what percentage
OF fats, ETC.. should be contained in the
milk for each individual child. He tells
the mother to get that kind. She sends
the table of percentages he has given her
that way.
They call this stuff synthetic milk in

And this brings to mind the fact that

along these lines. The manufacture Of

chemists of bible days, who wanted to

THE MINISTER OF POLICE" by
Henry Mountjoy. is a romano of Paris
during the Louis XIV reign. a period
when Europe was in a condition of TO-

breaking to pieces the shackles of re-
ligion; when Rousseau at the Cafe de
Regenance was preaching the right to
think; and when a thousand men. some IN
the gutter, some near the throne. were
preparing the great explosion of the revo-
luton.
Madame Linden, an Austrian lady,
after completing a simple mission to the
French count, fingers on in Paris, enjoy

other motive than pleasure in delaying
her departure and surrounds her with
