there to be trouble between Rene and

is no murderer, but no one will tell
me the facts"
'Then will, monsieur" said
gravely. at was because of my be-
lief that Sleur d'Artigny would re-
fuse explanation that sent for you.
The truth need not be concealed; not
from you, at least the commander Of
Fort ST. Louis"
Pardon. madame, but am not that.
La Sale left me in command with less
than a dozen men. De Ba1gis came
later, under commission from La Barre,
but he also had but a handful of fol-
lowers. To save quarrel we agreed to
divide authority, and so got along fair
ly well, until M. Cassion arrived with
his party. Then the odds were alto
gether on the other side, and De Bau-
gis assumed command by sheer force
of rifles. Twas La Sales wish that
no resistance be made, but, faith, with
the Indians scattered, had no power.
This morning things have taken a new
phase. An hour ago M. Cassion as
sumed command Of the garrison by
virtue of a commission he produced
from the Governor Ia Barre, naming
him major Of infantry. This gives him
rank above Captain de Baugis, and,
besides, he bore letter authorizing
him to take command OF all French
troops in this valley, If. in his judg-
ment, circumstances rendered 1t nee
essary. No doubt he deemed this the
proper occasion"

of D'Artigny" l asked, as he paused.

swered slowly. although I hesitate to
make so grave charge in your pres.
ence, madame. Our situation here is
scarcely grave enough to warrant his
action, for the fort is In no serious
danger from the Iroquois. De Baugis,
while no friend of mine. is still fair
minded man, and merciful. He cannot
be made tool for any purpose of re-
venge. This truth Major Cassion has
doubtless learned, and hence assumes
command himself to carry out his
plans"

clear-cut face, feeling confidence in
him which impelled me to hold out my
hand.

now to address him in all frankness,

this only enables me to know his mo-

Barrels letter.

ALCOHOL AND MEMORY.

Professor Vogt of the University Of
Christiania made tests upon himself to
determine the effects of alcohol upon
memory. He daily committed to, men,
DRY % lines of Greek poetry and re-
corded the number of minutes re-
CURED to learn them. On, the days
when he took as much alcohol as. one
would get in from one and one-half to
three glasses of beer, it took him on
the average 10 per cent longer to
learn the lines than when no alcohol
was taken. Six months later; when he
reviewed and relearned the same
lines, he found that the lines learned
on the alcohol days required more
time for relearning.
