CHAPTER v.
A Game Of Cards.


Francois Beaupre-Le Francois OF
Vicques-sober, laborious, had in him
certain pig-headedness, and also a
vein of the gambler which had swollen
with use; yet because ii had so far
brought him only good luck the neigh
bors called this good judgment. He
was a dealer in working oxen; he
bought and raised and sold them and
only his wife knew what chances he
often took in buying young beeves. It
was a simple solid form of speculation,
yet 1t was that.
On a day in September he left Vic
ques early in the morning to drive to
the market in Delesmontes, league
distant, two pairs of oxen which he
had bought as calves for almost moth
ing from poor stock out of farm
leagues away. He had fed and trained
and cared for them till now they were
all well set-up and powerful and
smooth working-ready to sell for a
good price. At the market he found
that there were few oxen to be dis
posed of, none which compared to his.
and his ideas of value went up-he
would get nine hundred francs for
them, which delayed the sale.
So 1t came to be, by the time his
bargain was closed, three o'clock in
the afternoon, and he had had no din
ner. With the cattle off his hands
and the money in his pocket he felt a
sense of leisure and of wealth. Hun
CRY as a wolf he felt also, and he
! turned into the inn of Delesmontes,
where the sign of huge bear, cut out
of tin and painted black, swung before
| the door.
A waitress approached him-a som
melliere-trim in her short calico skirt
and white apron, her hair done in the
picturesque fashion OF the place. The
girl took his order; as she turned to
go man just coming in knocked
against her, and apologizing with
many words, caught sight of Francois.
Good day!" he saluted him heartily.
"Good day, Monsieur Beaupre," and
Francois, friendly always, answered
Good day." but with reserve, for he
did not recall the man. you don't
remember me? That is natural, for
we met but once. Yet have not for
gotten you. II was at the house of
my cousin, Paul Noirjean of Devillier."
Now Paul Noirjean was an old ac-
quaintance and a solid man, and
though Beaupre did not see him often,
living six leagues away, he respected
him highly. A cousin of his was to be
considered, and Francois was embar-
raised that his memory could not
focus on the meeting. He tried to
cover this with cordially, and invited
the stranger to share his meal.
Not at all, not at ALL" the other
answered Yet we must have a bottle
of wine together but it shall be my
bottle"
Francois objected; the man insisted
AT length: See, We will play cards
for that bottle" the unknown man sug-
gested, and the cards were brought,
and a game of La rams-euchre-wa
in progress in two minutes.
Meanwhile the wine had come. and
Francois, touch more generous and
more cordial for ii. was genially sorry
when he won and the stranger must
pay.

HIstorle civ nf kInu-

Kien or Kiey, scene of the great
ritual murder" trial, is the earliest
seat OF Christianity in Russia. AS the
most ancient capital of the empire 1t
has earned its title of mother OF cities.
Its far stretching monastery of Petch-
erskaya Lavra is one of the wonders
OF the world. With many a church
and chapel and innumerable monkish
cells within its high wall, the city of
caves" forms town by itself. To
the catacombs cut out OF the solid
rock every year come pilgrims from
all over Russia to worship at the
shrines of the saints who came years
ago from Byzantium. But KEN is
not a typically Russian city. 1t has
lost its early Byzantine character
without gaining the modern Russian
spirit.
