Briqand Who FIourished Centuries
Ago Had Qualities Which Endeared
Him to Common People.

Among the noted thieves Of France,
there is none to compare with the
famous Aimerigot Tetenoire, who
flourished in the reign of Charles vi.
This fellow was at the head Of 400 or
500 men, and possessed two very
strong castles in Limousin and Au-
yergne. There was good deal of the
feudal baron about him, although he
possessed no revenues but such as the
road afforded him. At his death he
left a singular will.

upon each petal the letters "Ai," the

speaks of
The hyacinthine boy for whom
Morn well might break and April bloom.
1t is fitting therefore that Cynthia
should have the hyacinth, of jacinth
for her talismanic jewel. But the
maid who bears the name is more
than ordinarily fortunate, for she has
another lucky gem, the moonstone.
The deep blue hyacinth protects her
from danger of accident or disease,
