Wall From French Jurymen.

In France, as we'll as in England,
jurymen have their grievances. The
latest can easily be remedied. The
French minister Of justice has re.
ceiyed an address signed by citizens
figuring on the Paris jury lists, pro-
testing against the bare appearance
of the courts where they have to Sit.
They point out that if-tired OF look
ing at the judges, counsel, witnesses
and other parties to suit-they turn
their eyes upon the walls. nothing but
an inartistic paper meets their gaze.
In order to relieve this deadly mo-
notony they beg that a print OF Prud-
hons famous picture, Justice in Pur-
suit of Crime" may be hung in eacn
court.

Lucas lived mainly upon bread and
penny buns, though to these were
added at times eggs and herrings and
gin. A basket slung from the roof
out Of reach OF the rats served him as
larder, and he abjured washing. all
furniture and clothes, wrapping him
self in an old blanket.

Hardly had Abbott Ashton disap
peared down the village vista OF moon
light and patches. before
Fran's mood changed. Instead OF
seeking to carry out her threat OF
boarding the lion in the den, she SANK
down on the porch-steps, gathered her
knees in her arms, and stared straight
before her.
Though of skillful resources, OF I'm
pregnable resolution, Fran could be
despondent to the bluest degree; and
though competent at the clash, she
often found herself purpling on the
eve Of the crisis. The moment hao
come to test her fighting qualities, yet
she dropped despondently.
Hamilton Gregory was coming
through the gate. AS he halted In sur
prise, a black shadow rose slowly,
wearily. He, little dreaming that he
was confronted by shadow from the
past, saw in, her only the girl who
had been publicly expelled from the
tent.

Homecoming to be crowned by
vision very different. He came uI
