CHAPTER Viii,
For Always.


Claire listened with serious calm
eyes as her son told his story when
he came home on the day of the new
arrival at the castle.
"The great gentleman has come
who once saved our seigneur's life!"
she repeated after Francois. "And
the seigneur is glad. of course he is
glad, my Francois. And you ought
to be glad, too, and grateful to that
gentleman because of all the good
things our seigneur has done for you
and which would not have happened,
assuredly, if Monsieur the Marquis
had not saved him. You should do
everything that is possible for Mon
sieur the Marquis to show your graft
tude."
Next morning the little brown fig
ure which trudged through the beech
wood was frightened by large and
vivid bouquet held in his two hands.
When the tap Of Francois at the
library door, where one heard mems
voices talking. had brought the gen.
erals loud command of "Entrez," the
little brown figure and the large bunch
of flowers came in together and the
boy marched straight to the stately
Italian. Swapping his heels together
as his mother had taught him he
made a stiff deep bow, and presented
his nosegay. The marquis, a little
astonished at this attention, received
it with grave courtesy but without
much cordiality; it seemed to him
rather an odd whim of Gourgauds
to have this peasant child about as
one of his own family.
But Francois did not know that; to
him all the world was kindly, with
different manners of kindliness. The
manner Of the marquis was graver
than other peoples, perhaps-what
then? The kindliness was undoubted-

Again they played, this time doub-
ling the amount, and again Francois
gained, and again and again, till he
felt ashamed in carrying away all this
money of a new acquaintance and at
the same time a cock-sureness that so
lucky a devil as Beaupre might we'll
lose little and stop at the right
amount. The excitement of cards and
excitement of wine met in heady mix
ture; Duplessis drank little, though
Francois urged it on him. The luck be-
gan to change; now and then the
stranger won, now and then Beaupre,
yet more often now the stranger, till
at length Francois was playing not
with the desire to lose, but with hope
to gain back something at least of the

ct and brought out that honorable nine
hundred francs, and had thrown one
louis dor after another on the black

his confidence was still strong--luck

And now he would not regret carrying
away the strangers money. He began
to feel a fierce eagerness to get the
better of this antagonist became so
formidable. And a horrible nervous
ness was creeping over him at the dim
vision of a thought-a thought kept
resolutely on the confines of his con-
sciousness, yet persistently pushing
forWard-the thought that it might be
that he could not win the money back

MUCH POWER IN SUGGESTION
Extends to the Curing of Physical Ills
If One Will Persevere In
Treatment.

By the method known as "sugges-
tion," it is possible according to a
medical writer) not only to perform
the simple experiment of waking one
self at a given hour in the morning,
hut also to Danish all minor physical
ailments and even to correct faults In
the character.
Just as in the first instance the ex-
rerimenter before going to sleep at
night makes a mental request to him
self that he shall awake at a certain
time on the following morning, so In
more important matters he suggests
to himself a condition of health or a
method Of conduct.
To take two instances. Supposing
you suffer from insomnia, you focus
your whole attention upon the repe-
tition four times day Of given for
mula. Thus you may say to yourself
that you trouble no more about the
matter, merely repeating the state
ment at intervals. In two or three
days at most the effect-according to
the. authority--will be felt in sound
slumbers.
Much the same process is adopted
