ALL FEEL CHARM OF PARIS
Application, but There Is Variety
for Every Visitor.

The fairy tale of Paris belongs to
MI Of us, in whatever terms it may
be told. For some it is Marie An
toinette and the Petit Trianon; and,
curiously, by comparison with a rather
worthless queen, the great war pales.
For some it is Napoleon in his cooked
hat and white breeches, and his great
tomb, one of the fingertips Of Paris.
For still more it Is the Bois and the
elegance and luxury and beautiful
women; and for the rest there Is al
ways the particular application-the
house where Balzac had his printing
press, or perhaps only a great stone
wall, symbol OF the centuries over
which a fruit tree blooms, symbol Of
centuries continually renewed, writes
Muriel Harris in the North American
Review.
Only now and again do we realize
that Roman and Frank and Gaul /;
Catholic and Huguenot artist, priest
and warrior; saint, martyr, phlloso-
pher, midinette, have really our ener-
gies in their grip.

CHAPTER III.
The Bandit.

Joseph Maillard's library was on the
ground floor of the house; 1t was a
sedate and stately room, and was in
variably shut off to itself. Not even
tonight, of all nights, was It thrown
open with the remainder of the house.
Here Maillard summoned half a
dozen of his particular cronies and
friends, after the stroke Of midnight
had assured him that there was no
danger to be expected from the ban
dit. His son was not among the num-
Der. The half dozen were nearly all
elderly men, and, with the exception
of Jachin Fell, all were men Of promi-
uent affairs.
and his guests. Maillard, standing be-
fore a small wall safe that flanked the
open hearth, lifted his silver goblet,
asteam with beads. The moment for
which he had been waiting was here !;
he launched his little thunderbolt with
an air of satisfied Importance.
''My friends, 1 have a confession to
make !" he announced. To-day I re-
ceived a note from the Midnight Mas
quer stating that he would be with us
this evening, presumably at the hour
Of midnight, his usual time"
These words brought an instant ST.
lence. The half-dozen men were
tense, watchful, astopished. But Mall
lard swung up his silver cup and
laughed gaily.
II took full precautions, gentlemen.
The hour of danger is past, and the
notorious bandit has not arrived-or,
II he has arrived, he is now in the
hands Of the law. SO up with your
cups, my friends-a lifelong health to
Mardi Gras, and damnation to prohibi-
tion and the Midnight Masquerl
From everyone broke swift assent
TO the toast, murmur CT relieved ten
sion. The silver goblets were lifted,
touched in musical clinking Of edges,
and the aromatic breath Of juleps
filled the library as the drinkers. In
true southern fashion, buried noses
In the fragrant mint. Then, as the
CUPS were lowered, from the recess OF
the curtalned windows at one end Of
the room came a quiet voice:
81 thank you, gentlemen But I
must remind you, Malllard, that there
was not a time limit set in the note"
With a simultaneous gasp everyone
turned. Malllard staggered; his face
went livid. Every eye was fastened
upon that amazing figure now advanc-
ing from the shadows Of the recess.
II was the figure of an aviator, clad
In leather from top to toe, the goggles
and helmet shield completely masking
his head and features from recogni-
tlon. In his hand he held an auto
matic pistol, which covered the group

lard approached them, chuckling to
himself and looking hugely relieved.
"IIa, Lucie! / guessed you beneath
the Columblne daintiness Have you
examined your favor yet?'
Remembering, the girl caught at her
corsage. Cries Of delight were arising
on all sides as the favOrs were re-
vealed-most handsome favors, even
for Mardi Gras From the heart Of
the rosebuds in her hand Lucie re-
moved a brooch Of old filigree work
set with a group Of pearls. She
glanced about for Jachln Fell, but he
had vanished with Maillard. A voice
rose at her elbow:
"Mademoiselle, you are not less
lucky than beautiful Pearls to the
pearl :"
She turned to see the Franciscan -
no longer masked, but now gazing at
her from a frank, laughing cOunts-
nance, still partially veiled by the
brown cowl that was drawn up close
about his head.

Gramont's face lost its smile, and
suddenly became almost harsh.

morrow, Lucie," he said, abruptly, and
turned. Nor did he pause to get her
reply. An instant afterward Lucie was
surrounded by a merry group Of
friends, and she saw no more of Hen

About five minutes later those In the
ballroom distinctly heard, through the
open windows, the heavy pulsations Of

Fell in his apologize fashion. "YouF

held a thin mockery Coming from
you, sir. that compliment is most well
come"
"What the devil does the fellow
mean?' exploded Judge Forester.
"Then you are not aware that Mr..
Fell is a man of large affalrs?" The
bandits white teeth flashed In u
smile. "He is a modest man, this at
torneyl And a dangerous man also, l
assure you. But come, Mr.. Fell, I'll
not betray you."
Jachin Fell obviously did not appre-
ciate the pleasantly. His shy and won.
dering features assumed a set and
hardened look.
"Whoever you are" he responded,
subtle click of anger In his tone,
''you shall be punished for thisl"
For what, Mr.. Fell? For knowing
too much Of your private affairs?"
The bandit laughed. "Fear not-I am
only an amateur at this game, for.
tunately! SO do your worst, and my
blessing upon you'll Now, gentlemen,
kindly withdraw few PAGES All but
you, Maillard; I'm not through with
YOU yet"
The automatic pistol gestured; un,
der its menace everyone obeyed the
command, for the calm assurance of
the bandit made Il seem extremely
likely that he would use the weapon
without compunction. The men with.
drew toward the far end Of the room,
where a word from the aviator halted
them. Maillard remained standing
where he was.
The Masquer advanced to the table
and gathered the heap Of money and
scaftpins into the leathern pocket of
bis coat. During the process his gaze
did not waver from the group Of men,
nor did the threat of his weapon lift
from the banker before him.
"Now, Maillard." he quietly ordered,
"you will have the kindness to turn
around and open the wall safe behind
you. And don't touch the button"
Malllard started.
"That safe Why -why-d-n you,
I'll do nothing Of the sort ~

"I'll shoot you through the abdomen.

For an instant no one spoke. Then
Maillard moved slightly, moved his
hand toward a button set In the wall
uear the safe. The voice Of the ban
dit leaped out at him like thin steel:
"Quiet, you fool If you touch that
button"
MailIard stiffened, and gripped the
table edge with his shaking hand.
The bandit bowed slightly, and adj
dressed the gathering in a tone of dry
raillery:
1.-THE rights of property are to me
Tar more sacred than human life;

The banker could not but obey. His
hands trembling with fear and rage,
he took from his pocket a wallet. and
emptied a sheaf of bills upon the
table. One after another, the other
men followed his example. When IL
came his turn, Jachin Fell drew a
single bill from his pocket, and laid
1t down.

Announces His Willing
ness to Succeed Sheriff
WOrthen

John Finley, ST. Johnsbury's

solicitations of his many friends
and had decided to add to the
gaiety of the high sheriff contest
this fall in Caledonia county by
becoming candidate to succeed
Sheriff Worthen.
Mr.. Finley is a democrat and
will run on the democratic ticket
but this will not prevent his re-
publican friends from voting for
him if they see fit.
Mr.. Finley is fifty years old, was
born in Cabot and came to st.
Johnsbury 10 years ago. He has
been connected with the st. Johns
bury police department for the last
sixteen years, the last half of
which he has served most efficient
ly as its chief. He has been a de
putty sheriff during Sheriff Wor-
then's entire term. His expert
ence during these years has given
him wide acquaintance through
out the county and has well-fitted
him for the promotion to which
he aspires.
One of his many supporters in
speaking of his candidacy said :
"John is about the right age, the
right build and the right kind of
a man to make rattling good
sheriff"

AWAIT WORD ON
COAL MINE OPERATION

WASHINGTON, July 19-Ad-
minstration officials awaited with
confidence today the response of
state executives and coal operators
and miners to the governments
determination to secure resump-
ton of coal production notwith-
standing the continued strike of
mine workers. Meanwhile, plans
went forward to put the govern
ment fully in a position to fulfill
the pledge of "every assistance at
its command" given by President
Harding in the telegram addressed
to the governors of twenty-eight
coal states yesterday. Despite the
reduced car supply at present pro-
ducing mines resulting from the
rail strike, officials were confident
that addition supplies would re-
ult from the governments action.
The rail situation showed some
Improvement today. In the gov
ernment view there was no GER
tainty that the entire membership
of the miners union would support
their leaders in refusing arbitra-
ton and the possibility of seper-
ate district agreements in the face
of government determination to
mine operation, was rum
ored here today.
