The girls voice ceased; a dead 81.

The curse is on Paradse!" cried a
hoarse voice.
The drummer was already drawing
another paper from her ragged pocket.
and again In the same clear, emotion
less voice, but slightly drawling her
words, she read:
ITO the people of Paradise! The
manager of the famous American trav-
cling circus, lately returned from a
tour of the northern provinces, with
camels, elephants, lions and a magnifi-
cent company Of artists announces a
stupendous exhibition to be held in

enabling the intelligent and apprecia-
tive people of Paradise TO honor the
Republican circus, recently known as
the Imperial circus, with their benevo-
lent and discerning patronage! Long
live France! Long live the republicl
Long live the circus!"
A resounding roll of the drum end

the drum over her shoulder, turned to
the right, and passed over the stone
bridge, sabots clicking.
The maids of Paradise were weeping
now by the fountain; the men gath.

road and met Jacqueline, dancing
along with her drum. We stood in the
middle of the high-road looking
through the dust haze, she doubtless
dreaming of the splendors to come,
very, very tired.
Suddenly, straight out of the flaming
gates of the sunset, the miracle was
wrought Breathless, she shrank back
among the weeds, one hand pressed to
her throbbing throat. Then she caught
sight Of something through the dust
that filed her with a delicious terror,
and she cried out. For there, uptow.
ering in the haze, came trudging a
great, gray creature, a fearsome,
swaying thing in crimson trappings,
tapping huge ears. 1t shufed past,
swinging a dusty trunk; the sparkling
horsemen cantered by, tin armor blaz-
ing in the fading glory; the chariots
dragged after, and the closed dens of
beasts rolled behind in single file, fol-

musicians played fran.

She has brought it. But it's all the

At that moment we both caught

away.

the mayor, turning pale. He's got

He turned to me, almost bursting
with suppressed prophecy.

cruiser brings us! You laughed!
Tenez, monsieur; there's your bad
luck in these blue morsels Of paper!"
And he snatched the telegram from
the breathless messenger, reading it
with dilating eyes.
When at length the magistrate had
mastered the contents of his telegram,
he looked up with a stupid stare
81 want my drummer Where's the
town-crier?" he demanded, as though
dazed.
He has gone to Lorient, msieu the

"Ho! Vrai. The Lizards young one!

"The little witch can drum them

We'll, I'll tell you. You know, of

But you don't know what a pitiable

crown jewels, the bars Of gold Of the

Twelve Of these trains have already

muttered information gave me the
keys to many doors. And behind each
door were millions and millions and
millions Of francs worth of plunder.
Our eyes met in mute interrogation;
Speed smiled.

He slipped his amber-colored chablis
and resumed:

western morality, have constructed
fans in such manner that, opened

contented with their present oppor-

1t is undeniably true that there is a
vast amount Of unholy and |asteful
discomfort. We are apt to think pret-
ty constantly how much more and how
much better we would do If circum-
stancea were different. While history
presents many cases Of people who
broke away from humble task to force
their way to something higher, it is
fuller of instances In which a man or

fulness an insignificant task, has been
celled to greater things.

however. as usual, prepared to ride
forward to select proper place for
our encampment, and to procure the
necessary license.
We were in seedy circumstances /;
an endless chain of bad luck had fol.
lowed us from Chartres,
The fortune that Byram had made in
the previous year was already gone;
we no longer travelled by rail; we no
longer slept at inns; we could barely
pay for the food for our animals.
Got enough cash for the license?'
asked Byram, uneasily.
Plenty, governor; don't worry" l
replied, and set my horse at a gallop
over the old stone bridge.
l passed a stone house, another;
then the white road curved under the
trees and ! rode straight into the heart
of Paradise, my horses hoofs awaking
echoes in the silent, stone-paved
square.
A young girl with face like the
Madonna stole across the square in
her felt shoes.
Can you tell me where the mayor
lives?" | asked, looking down at her
from my horse.
"Ho! la; oui, monsieur, sill faut bien.
The mayor is at breakfast in his kitch-
en- yonder."
THANK you, my child"
/ turned my horse across the shady
square to a stone house banked up
with bed on bed of scarlet geraniums.
The windows were open; a fat man
with very small eyes sat inside eating
an omelet.

for a circus to camp for one night;
that also desired permission to pitch
camp somewhere in the vicinity. He
