On December 4, 1884, gentleman OF
distinguished appearance walked
briskly along a quiet street near the
Chopinette Barrier, in Paris. 1t is true
that the gentleman's black frock coat
gave evidence of long use, and that the
gentlemans cravat was not exactly
fashionable. But, name of a name,
messieurs, one may be gentleman
and be poor.
This pedestrian, who looked distin-
guished even under the handicap OF
threadbare garments, was about 80
wears old. He was rather small OF sta
ture, but carried himself proudly his
face was refined and intellectual-tne
face of poet and dreamer. lnoeeo, at
that hour all Paris was whistllng ana
singing one of his songs, The flte ana

of an artist and the joyous, care-free
laugh of a boy. 1t was good thlng TO
hear I.acenaire laugh. 1t reminded you
of YOUR halcyon days. before the Worlo
WEAKNESS made you sad.
Rehind Lacenaire there walked a
man of vulgar appearance. his name
was Avril. He was quite young, not
more than %, and he had been so un-
fortunate as a criminal that Lacenaire
was sorry for him, and was deter

dwelling of prosperous appearance.

YOU know, is an invalid. and is on heI

They stood face to face, Chardon and
Lacenaire, and the latter gossiped
gayly of one thing and another. while
Avril stole quietly behind Chardon
and. having stationed himself properly
at wink from the poet he threw his
arm around Chardon's neck and gar

then and stabbed the victim severa

that killed her son.

Forrest Cain, hatless, jumped from

flash and the sharp report of a re-

car and sped toward its mark.

Wanted Bat and Ball.

Before the day was over Gordon
made a long speech to them in which
he covered all the points he could
think of. He told them who he was.
He said he had never injured anyone
Intentionally. He asked them II he
were being held for a ransom, in
which case he invited them to name
their figure. To this proposition he
received no reply nor, in fact, could
he get a word of any kind from them.
Silence followed every question he
asked In spite Of the evaporation
of this sort of thing, Gordon pre-
served his good nature throughout the
day.
After supper Gordon made another
request He said. with a smile:
LAS you gentlemen seem inclined to
keep me here for several days at least.
there are a few things I would like to
have. Can you get them for me?"

another letter."
There was no reply to this cues
ton, and shortly after Gordon crawled
into his bunk. The chain was placed
on his ankle one of the men took up
guard duty. and the others retired
for the night
Gordon lay awake for some time,
thinking over the extraordinary pre-
dlcament he found himself in. 1t is

thinking about il, but il was such d
puzzling problem that he could make

the things Gordon had asked for and
a few other articles besides. He
handed the bearded man a large en-

come through the mail. The envel-
ope was opened before his eyes, and
Gordon saw the bearded man draw
four bank notes from it, He handed
one to each of the other men and
placed the other in his own pocket.
