The girl smiled.
Yes. quite possible. / think he is
a perfect dear. He is a splendid
friend and | am devoted to him, but
| don't love him at all, not at all"
All" breathed Madame de la
Maine. and she looked at the Ameri-
can girl g~uardedly.
For a moment it was like a passage
OF arms between a frank young In
dian chief and a Jesuit. Julia, as It
were, shook her feathers and her
beads.
And l don't care in the least about
being a duchess! My father made
his money in oil. / am not an aristo'
crat like my aunt" she said.
"Then," said the Comtesse de la
Maine. forgetting that she was a
Jesuit. you will marry Robert de
fremont simply to please your aunt?'
But nothing ON earth would in
duce me to marry hip!" cried Julia
Redmond. That's what I'm telling
you, Madame. / don't love hint"
The Comtesse de la Maine looked
at her companion and bit her lip
She blushed more warmly than is per
mitted in the Faubourg St.-Germain
but she was young and the western
influence Is perniclous.
Il saw at once that you loved him,
said Julia Redmond frankly. That's
why I speak as l do"
The Comtesse de la Maine drew
back and exclaimed.
"Oh," said Julia Redmond. don
deny It. I shan't like you half so wei
II you do. There is no shame in be
ing in love. is there?-especially wher
the man you love. loves you"
The Comtesse de la Maine broke
down, or, rather, she rose high. Sh'
rose above all the smallness of con
v%ention and the rules of her Frencl
formal education.
You are wonderful" she said
laughing softly, her eyes full of tears
will you tell me what makes yol
think that he is fond of me?r
But you know 1t so we'll" sal,
Julia. Hasn't he cared for you TO
a long timer"
Madame de la Maine wondered jus
how much Julia Redmond had heard
and rs there was no way of finding
out, she said ~graciously:
He has seemed to love me yer,
dearly for many years; but | an
poor; ! have a child. He is am
bilious and he is the Due de Ire

Nonsense" said Julia. He love
you. That's all that counts. Yo,

Season of Aspiration.

o springtime, the season of aspira.
ton! with what delight in life thou
fllest the heart! On one side, the
spiritual world is attracting us, and
we feel assured that only ia it's closest
bond of union can our true happiness
be found. On the other hand, Nature
with her thousandfold witcheries calls
back our hearts and our senses to her
own eternal life. 1t is hard that
neither the internal nor the external
can fully satisfy our desires, and that
the souls in which the two are united
are so few. A life purely spiritual
cannot satisfy us; there is something
in US that has a longing for reality.
AS the thoughts of the artist can find
no rest until he has embodied them in
an external representation, so the OBJ.
ject of all our aspiration is to find in
the perfect material, the counterpart
and reflection of the perfect spiritual.

CHAPTER
Julia Decides.

julia DeCIQeS.
Now the young girl had his letters
and her own to read. They were
sweet and sad companions and she
laid them side by side. She did not
weep, because she was not of the
weeping type; she had hope.
Her spirits remained singularly
even. Madame de la Maine had given
her a great deal to Eve op-
Julia. what have you done to Rob-
ert?"
Nothing. ma tante."
He has quite changed. This excur.
sion to Africa has entirely altered him.
He is naturally so gay" said the Mar.
quise d'Esclignac. Have you refused
him. Julia?"
Ma tante, he has not asked me to
be the Duchess de fremont"
Her aunt's voice was earnest.
Julia, do you wish to spoil your life
and your chances of happiness? Dc
you wish to mourn for a dead soldier
who has never beea more than an &C.
quaintance? l won't even say a friend
b h said sounded logical.
ma tante, l do not think of Mon.
sieur de Sabron as dead, you know"
well, in the event that he may be,
my dear Julia"
Sometimes" said the girl, drawing
near to her aunt and taking the Older
lady's hand quietly and looking in her
eyes, sometimes, ma tante. you are
cruel"
The marquise kissed her and sighed:
Roberts mother will be so un
happy!"
But she has never seen me-, ma
tante."
"She trusts my taste, Julia"
There should be more than taste
in a matter of husband and wife, ma
tante."

R0GUES' MARCH is OLD TUNE
Believed to Have Been Played by the
British Army Earlier Than the
Eighteenth Century.

Avery characteristic and lively mill
tary Quickstep, which dates from early
in the eighteenth century, is what is
now known as the Rogues' March. The
name vas given to it because it was
customary to play it when a soldier
was expelled or drummed out of the
English army. This was the penalty

When the jailer refAsed to liberate

Poisonous Metals.

It is well known that such metals
as lead, mercury, arsenic, anthony,
zinc, etc., as well as substances con-
tanning them, have a greater or less
poisonous effect upon the human sys-
tenn. Workers in various industries
where poisonous metals are used have
to take every precaution for removing
particles from the skin, as otherwise
slow poisoning is inevitable. 1t is i'm
portant to observe that washing with
ordinary soap does not completely
remove such particles, because the
soap tends to form with most metals
insoluble compounds which still can
produce poisonous effects Ordinary
bleaching powder Chloride OF lime)
is much better than soap for remoy-
ing poisonous particles. 1t loosens
them by both mechanical and chem
ical action. 1t is also strong but
harmless disinfectant. and is practi-
cally as cheap as soap.-C. e. Vail,

NOVEL STAIR IDEA
Designed for Use Where Space Is
Limited.
Should Be Especially Valuable In City
Tenement Houses and on Pas
sage Ways Leading TO
Easements.

It often happens in planning house
that the architect is confronted with
the impossibility of accommodating a
staircase in a narrow space. 1t is
easy enough to lead the narrow stairs
down from one floor to the next, but
when the landing can be no wider
than the stairway he is at a loss to
carry the stairs any further. No such
difficulties present themselves where
there is plenty Of room and stairs
can be made to turn around CEN
trail opening or can be placed one
flight over another with a landing
alongside of each floor.
To solve the difficulty of narrow
space for the staircase William f.
Rodgers OF St. Louis conceived the
idea of making a door right in the
stairs, these to lift on hinge SO
as to open a way to the flight below.
He worked out his idea and has Just
received a patent thereon. He calls
his device an automatic stair-door.
The landing is only the width of the
