Lucienne's Story


 Maxence went up the steep dark stair case and, as he neared the upper stories he heard a womans voice, fresh and beautifully intoned, singing a popular stong which began, 70 hope, O charming word.''
 It was Mile. Lucienne. She lived across the passage from Maxence-and they were fast friends. Some day, when Maxence had better job. they were going to be married.
 Meantime they were friends-just friends-and lived like brother and sis ter They had drifted into an acquaint- ance as people will who live in the saVe hotel, had been greatly attracted to each other and Lucienne had frankly told Maxence the story of her life
 She knew neither her father nor her mother. When very young her mother had put her out to nurse with the wife of gardener-and then abandoned her. The gardener and his wife died. She had been taken by a washerwoman and trutally treated.
 Then rich woman had taken her and made pet and companion of her. The rich woman had been taken sick and removed to the south of France by her relatives. As soon as she had gone Lu- c:enne had been turned out of the house.

The Hotel des Toiies

Now let us speak of Maxence and his affairs Maxence bad his lodgings in sthe Hotel des Tolies. which took it's name from a neighborng theatre.
 It was the rear building of q large old house and had no frontage on the boulevard. Nothing betrayed it's pres cree except a lantern hung over a dark and narrow passage between a restau- rant and confectionery shop.
 The uper rooms of the hotel were occupied by clerks like Maxence, shop girls, a few walters and. now and then, a poor devil of an actor or singer from d cheap theatre.
 When MaXence returned there on the Sunday morning after his fathers flight the landlady, Mme. Fortin, said that the night before, quite late, a man called to see him; a man wearing a long overcoat down to his heels. man about DO, tall and thin.
 Can it possibly have been my fath- err" thought Maxence-and then the idea struck him that it must have been-that his father had hidden in Paris instead of escaping to Belgium. He must find hm-he must get from him the whole truth.
 "Is Mile. Lucienne at home?" asked Maxence.
 Cant tel-she has been going and coming all the morning.

CONTRACTORS WILL
 BE HEARD TODAY
Pro and Con of New Building Law Will Be Argued At Special
 Session

This afternoon at o'clock the board of city commissioners will sit in special session to listen to arguments pro and con in reference to the city Ordinance re- ouiring all building contractors to execute a bond before undertaking any building contract. A number of the contractors claim the ordinance is useless and will impose an unnecessary burden on the smaller contractors The purpose of the bond is to enforce all the provisions of the building ordinances. The contractors and some of the owners of buildings con- tend that the bond is unnecessary, as it is up to the city building inspector to see that the rules are obeyed and that he has full authority to enforce them.
 The ordinance was passed couple of weeks ago, but Judge Lane has introduced c resolution seeking its repeal. The mat ter will be threshed out this afternoon.
