No Cheesenarer.

The late George A. Hearn, the New
York millionaire art collector, was
noted for his generosity to his en-
ployes.
To reporter who once congratu-
lated Mr.. Hearn on the high wages
and unusual comforts that his en-
ployes received Mr.. Hearn said:
Il don't believe in cheeseparing
economy in the treatment of those
whose hard work makes mans sue

in that way, seems to be as mean and
paltry as the Yonkers man.
"A Yonkers man was summoned
from his evening paper by his wife's
frightened cry:
George, come quick! The cook has
tried 20 kill herself inhaling gas!'
Good gracious' growled George
as he rushed to the kitchen, leaped

your tongue"

trying to hide merry smile, "but

MANS LOVE FOR THE DOG
Strong Spirit of Affection That Binds

he had frozen his feet and hands SO
badly as a result that I am afraid he

1,OOO-mile trip in 81 days with the
same five dogs with which l started,
and that not one of them had even
sore foot during the entire journey.
In fact, before l started Psyriak had
cut his left hind foot, which made it
necessary to mucklock it, but when /

self ready.
He groped his way to the shed he
had seen from the governors window;
with his old boyish agility he scram-
bled up it's sloping roof and felt for the
coping he had noticed-the coping
wide enough for mans foot; he had
found 1t; he had found a water pipe
above to help him stand on it; he was
on the coping, face fiat to the wall,
working his way with infinite delicate
care to the window of the governor.
He never knew how long that part
took; 1t seemed great while, though
not many feet lay between the shed
and the window. Then he felt the
stone sill of the window; his hand
crept up; 1t was open-wide open.
With a strong pull he had swung him
self over and stood in the dark, in the
governors bedroom.
Stood and listened, hardly daring for
the first instant to draw the long
breath he sorely needed. Then he
smiled. No necessity for that caution
at least. The governor was snoring a
heavy aggressive snore which would
have drowned most noises. Francois

SYNOPSIS.

Francois Beaupre. a peasant babe of
three years, after an amusing incident In
which Marshal New figures, is made a
CheValier of France by the Emperor Ma
poleon, who prophesied that the boy
might one day be a marshal of France
under another Bonaparte. At the age OF
ten Francois visits General Baron Gas

seven-year-old daughter. lives at the
Chateau. A soldier of the Empire under
Napoleon he fires the boys imagination
with stories Of his campaigns. The gen.

rents, but in the end becomes a copyist

CHAPTER XVII.-Continued.

This is the way you are to get
there. In the wine-cellar of the cas-
tie, which opens from the governors
room-in old times always the room
of the lord-in that wine-cellar, on the
north wall, is a square block Of stone
projecting slightly beyond the wall. If
you press the lower corner on the left
ha2d side, of the stone under this, the
big stone above will swing out and
show. an opening large enough for a
man 20 pass. Going through, you close
the door by pressing the same stone,
and you then will find yourself in an
underground passage which leads
to Riders Hollow. The passage is five
hundred years old and only the family
of the Zappis have ever known of it.
/ went through it once in my boyhood
with my father, and it was in perfect
condition, so l believe it will be now.
1t was built with soldity-as one may
believe, for if the old Zappis wanted it
at all they wanted it in working order.
Your part will be difficult, Fran
co.'s, but believe you can do it. You
will have to get the key of the wine
cellar, or else force the lock. Can you
do that? 1t is necessary to do it,
Francois, for we cannot get on with
out you, and we shall from now live
only to set you free. send you some
thing which may be useful"
Francois dropped the letter and
picked up the long loaf and tore it
apart. There was a file in the center.
As if powerful tonic had been in
fused into him he felt strength and
ca!mness pour through him. He read
the letters over and over till he had
them by heart; then he concealed them
carefully, with the file, in his mattress.
After that he sat down and concen-
trated his mind with the new force
working In it, on his plan.
The governor was almost certain to
have him down to dinner again in two
or three days; it was a pity that while
he was there, all but on the spot, he
could not possess himself of the key
and escape. He thought over one or
two plans on that basis, but they all
shipwrecked on the fact that the
guards were accustomed to take him
back to his room at eleven, and that,
failing notice from the governor, they
would certainly come to find out why
If they were not called. That would
start the pursuit; he must have the |

customed to the shadows, and then
they searched about quickly. All!
there they were, the governors clothes
On chair by his bed. With wary
steps he stole across. He lifted of
one or two things and suddenly there
was jingle.
"Ah!" growled the governor and
flung out his hand, and the snore came
to full stop.
The hand searched the darkness a
second; all but touched that of Fran,
co.'s, then fell Imply, the head turned
away, with deep sigh. Likea statue
Francois stood, frozen to the floor, and
dared not look at the figure 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 min
utes after the snoring was in full prog
ress again Francois waited, and then
with careful fingers he clasped the en-
tire bunch Of keys softly and carried
them into the next room.
There was low light there, on the
writing-table. 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 It's table and put them in his pock-
ct; he took down that small saber,
with its well-polished scabbard, and
buckled it about himself; then a
thought came to him. A sheet of pa
per lay on the governors writing-table
as if he had been about to write a let
ter; pen and ink were ready. The
prisoner dropped into the governors
chair and wrote:
my dear count, cannot run away
without leaving a good-by for you and
word Of thanks for the kindness you
have shown me. Be sure I shall not
forget our evenings together and shall
be glad when l hear of your promo
ton, as I am sure I shall hear. l
heartily hope l am not going to make
trouble for you. But have to go-you
will understand that. With thousand
thanks again l am, count, your CRATE
full prisoner-Francois Beaupre.'
Still the count snored. Francois,
alert, stood and listened as he folded
the note carefully and laid it under a
weight on the table. Then he tempted
Providence no longer. He slid the bat
tered, bright, old, brass key softly in
to the lock, let himself into the dark
stairway, relocked the door on the in
side, groped his way painfully down
the steep stairs into the wine-cellar
and when he felt a level floor under
his feet struck light with the gov
ernor's flint and steel. He lighted one
of his candle ends. The wine-cellar
which he had left only two hours be-
fore, seemed almost homelike; 1t
lacked the governor, that was all. He
crossed to the projecting stone in the
north wall, and pressed the corner of
the stone below. Nothing happened.
Hurriedly he pressed it again, harder,
but the cold even surface of the wall
stared him blankly in the face. Again
he pushed-with no result A sickness
came over him. Was all his labor and
peril to go for nothing? Was he to be
caught again and thrust back, this
time into some far worse dungeon?
How had he dared to hope! The en-
trance was closed, overgrown, the
masonry had grown solid with years
and dampness.

Never had the young Frenchman
been more entertaining, more winning

it almost out of the question to eat
