A FLOWER AMONG WEEDS Story of the Eighteenth
 Century.
By F. A. MITCHELL

During the reign of Louis XV. France reached a continuation Of profigacy which had been growing for years. While the king was in his minority the regent, his uncle, Duke of Orleans, set the example of debauchery to the court and through the court to the kingdom.
 Louis himself. on assuming the scep- ter, by continuing in his uncle's foot steps completed the work of laying the foundation for the French revolution which broke out during the reign of hlS successor.
 During the regency of the Duke of Orleans the wealthiest nobles owned estates In different parts of France. Only the more moral of these lived in their country chateaus, for the prodi- gate could not endure to live elsewhere than in Paris, where the intriguing and debauchery were going on. Among those who preferred the virtue of rural life was the young Marquis Gaston de RoQuette, who, though a soldier of ac- knOwledged bravery, had mind capa-

However, the marquis was obliged occasionally to go to Paris either at the call of the regent or on account of some duty connected with his station as q peer of the realm. One day on the street on which stands what was then the palace of the Louvre he passed a young lady riding in her "Chair," the very sight of whom deeply impressed him. She was not only beautiful, but a natural purity showed itself in every line of her cOuntenanCe. This was the more noticeable, for at that time the women of the court were as bad as the men, and the lives they led were discernible in their features.
 The marquis followed the young lady with his eyes, and when he saw her carried into the palace he heaved a sigh, for he did not believe that any woman could enter that royal abode and be good. Her entrance there, how ever, proved that she was a lady of rank.
 The marquis duty to the sovereign later called him to the court, and he saw there the lady whom he had met in her chair" Hanging over her was a famous but notorious duke, the most pronounced and successful beau of that period. He was q very wealthy man, and he was also the most accom- plished villain of his day. Three times he had been in the Bastille, the third time for having attempted to betray France.
 Another sigh marked the marquis discovery that the girl who had made such an impression on him was prob ably falling into the hands of this no- toriOus villain.

 unwilling, to draw line of dem arcation between the 'lawlessness ot only a few months that existed iu a frontier camp Of r years ago, and the succeeding peaceful Quietud

 terruption since the committee of loo disposed of the remnants of 1 Soapy smiths notorious gang in the summer of .1S9S, after their leader had been effectually Quieted for nj time by an officer of the law
 NIr. Cadeu is blinded by self-con- ceit, too, for he presumes to pro ptesy the future of skagway from very brief time spent here while passing to and from the interior. In answer to his dismal prognostica- Uona We refer him to the strong objections urged by certain mem . bers Of the United States congress against the acquisition of the ter ritory now embraced ill the states . of Oregon and Washington at the time hat matter was under dis cussioD.
 Tn addition to his narrow-minded- ness and blindness he is also deaf for how could he be in the posses sion Of his sense of hearing and not be cognizant of the rumblings of the advance of'a grea. era of pros per!tv for the whole of Alaska and the great Canadian interior as well?
 Of Mir. Cadell's absolutely uncalled for remarks about skagway the Thtchorse Star of July 28d in com ' ment:ng upon his article says, in
 which We fully concur:
 MT. Cadel, without apparent caure and, in our opinion, manifest ing a sour disposition as well as very poor taste for an official writ
 CT, gees out of his way to give
 our neighboring town ot Skagway a wholly uncalled for and "dirty
 knock" which appears in the third
 paragraph of his four page article.
 Just what Mir. CadeII or the smith
 soaiau Institution Institute it was
 formerly called) a government con ccrn, could possibly gain by villi- flying the present good name of Skdgway, as is done above, is be-
 yoru comprehension"

"A DIRTY KNOCK"

In 8 recent publication of the Smithsonian Institution, H. NJ. Ca dell ill his report of the Klondike and Yukon gold fields describes skagway "as q wretched little town with decayed wooden houses and grass-srowu streets, the scene oI many robberies, riCts and murders at The time of the gold rush, which the police authorities had neither the power nor energy to control. Skagway is not, and can never be- or much use to thA United states, except as an obstruction to Can aGian progress, but might be of some advantage to the vast Cana- Lia hiuterlaud less than 20 miles inland"
 Who IS II. N. Cadell:
 We are unable to answer this question, for although he is vouched for by the Smithsonian h. s.itutiou of Washington, D. C., "n institution of learning established in .lS4C for the increase and diff rustca of knowledge among men, and which is distributing his libel ous and untruthtul statements broadcast over the land to work an irreparable injury to a prosper GUS, peacefuI and law-abiding com muuity ct Irseborn Americans who, aggouauts in the march of north western civilization, have through dangers that might well have aDal- led the most brave and by au .uItnity of labor that would have effectually deterred any but the stoutest hearted, wrested a gem of the Uurest water from its primevaI setting of forest and Are tic moss, and transformed it into the central jewel in the diadem of tue uorthland-a garden spot of beauty aud productiyeness - we have been unable to find his name inscribed in the hall of either liter ary or newspaper fame.

the Chancel to room used by tue priest and acolytes came q ray of light. What could 1t mean? The pastor Of the church was on old man, too feeble to be engaged In any church duty at dead Of night It was no religious matter that was being observed.
 The marquis was about to walk to- ward the door through which the light came when 1t opened and half dozen persons came out of the apartment. They bore lights, but so dim were they that De RoQuette could not distinguish the faces of the several members of the party. There were n priest who was unknown to him, two men and two women, evidently persons of rank, and the last two to enter the church were O man and a woman. From this woman's dress De Roquette judged that the couple were about to be mar ried. The little party moved toward the chancel. where the priest stationed himself, the couple before him, the two other men on the side of tho groom, the two women on the side of the bride.
 The marquis walked softly forward hoping to get q nearer view of the faces, but before he reached a point of vantage their backs were to him. The priest faced him, and he saw at once that he was not the pastor of the church. To the marquis astOnIshment he recognized in q priests garb q worthless fellow of the nelghborhood, who had served several terms in prison as a malefactor.
 Assured that some piece of villainy was being perpetrated, De Roquette seized an enormous sword resting on the tomb of one of his ancestors and, pushing forward till he stood directly behind the wedding party, cried out:
 q forbid the bans"
 The false priest looked up from q book he held in his hand, and the oth- CTS turned quickly.
 Then did the marquis meet with a great surprise. The attendants were men and women of the court The groom was the prOhigate duke. while the bride was the lady of whom the marquis had been dreaming. She had entered with apparent reluctance and now looked up like q frightened bird. The duke, with the assurance that often characterizes vice, knit his brows and said threateningly:
 "Who are you, monsieur"
 "Gaston, Marquis de Roquette, pro- prletor of the estate on which this church stands. No ceremony is per mltted here except 1t is conducted by Father Arouet, the pastor. Surely none will be permitted by one not in orders and the verIest scamp in the province"

ed him since the first moment he had seen her.
 This was not possible, To the young such impressions are very strong, What 1t was in that pure face that had taken hold of him he did not know. What he did know was that she was member of a prodigate court, that he had seen its most notorious rake hang ing over her, and he did not doubt that sooner or later she would go down un- der the influences which surrounded her
 Gaston de Roquette remained on his estate for a month without returning to Paris. Often was he tempted to go there for another glimpse Of the face that had enthralled him, but he be- lieved that in yielding to the tempta- ton he would only bring upon himself greater pain. So he devoted himself to the care of his estate and to his ten ants. He endeavored to occupy him. self with his books, but this was i'm possible, for, whatever he did, his mind was upon that pure being, growing like flower in the midst of poisonous weeds.
 Whether 1t was that the young mar uuis was a poor sleeper or that Cupid was keeping him awake, he went to ] bed late and at times when unable to sleep would arise, dress himself and walk about outside. Not far from the l chateau was the church where he and 1 his household and his tenants wor- l shlpcd and about which their forefa- thers slept Within the structure were the bones of the De RoQuettes incased in sepulchers or under the flags, the sepulchers supporting marble figures of the dcDarted. while here and there were the arms the men had borne in war
