a Game of Cards.

Francois Beaupre-Le Francois OF
Vicques-sober, laborious, had in him
q certain pig-headedness, and also
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' IL
was simple solid form of speculation,
yet It was that.
On day in September he left Vic
CUES 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 a farm
leagues away. He had fed and trained
and cared for them till now they were
all well set-up and powerful anc
th-working-ready to sell for
good price. At the market he found
that there we're 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 it 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

my cousin, Paul Noirjean of Devillier."
Now Paul Noirjean was an old ac-
ouaintance and 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.

Historic City of klev.

Kieff or Kiev, scene of the great
ritual murder trial, is the earliest
seat of Christianity in Russia. AS the
most ancient capital of the empire il
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 a 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 Kien IS
lot a typically Russian city, 1t has
lost its early Byzantine character
without gaining the modern Russian
spirit.

Without Fear.

The glider was at work gliding the
great ball on top of the church steeple.
Every twenty years this had TO be
done, and 1t was an event In the viii
lage. Moreover, 1t was dangerous. and,
like all dangers, fascinating.
The boys of Vicques stood in groups
in the street with their heads bent
back, watching the tiny figure of q
man that crept up an invisible ladder
far in the air. dashed to the side Of the
steeple. Up and up It went, like ny.
crawling on the fleche, and there was
q sinking feeling in each boys stom'
aoh which was delightful. to think how
at any moment that creeping black

Baron Gaspard Gourgaud, whom he
had before then fashioned into very
good pattern of a soldier out Of mate
rial left over from the old aristocracy.
Vicques lay in the Valley Delesmontes
--"of the mountalns"-a league from
the little city Delesmontes, whose six
thousand inhabitants constituted 1t the
chief city of this valley of the Jura.
Over Vicques hung the mountain
called lie Rose, behind lie Rose doomed
that greater mountain called lie Raj
meu; back of lie Raimeu rolled the
Jura range.
The Baron.General Gourgaud, taking
possession OF the chateau in this
month of July, thought it lucky he had
not seen this domain Of his before,
else the vision would have turned his
heart from his duty. After full career
