In France With Franklin

Jack shipped in the packet Mercury
of 70 tons, under Capt. Simeon
Sampson, one of Americas ablest
naval commanders. She had been
built for rapid sailing and when, the
second day out, they saw a British
frigate bearing down upon her way
they wore ship and easily ran away
from their enemy. Their first land
ing was at ST. Martin on the Isle de
Rhe. They crossed the island on
mules, being greeted with the cry:
"FVoila les braves B~ostones!'
In France the word Bostone meant
American revolutionist. At the fer
ry they embarked on a long gabbone
for La Rochelle. There the young
MAJ enjoyed his first repose on a
French lit built up of sundry layers
of feather beds.
Tn the morning he set out in a
heavy vehicle of two wheels, drawn

morning on their way to the capital.
There were few people travelling at that
hour. Suddenly ahead they saw a
band of horsemen riding at a wild
gallop. They were the kings couriers.
CLEAR the way" they shouted. "The
kings hunt is coming"
All travellers, hearing this command,
made quickly for the sidings, there to
draw rein and dismount. The deer
came in sight, running for its life, the
king close behind with all his train,
the hounds in full cry. Near Jack the
deer bounded over a hedge and took
a new direction. His majesty-a
short, stout man with blue eyes and
aquiline nose, wearing a ~lace-cocked
hat and brown velvet coatee and high
boots with spurs-dismounted not
twenty feet from the stagecoach, say
ing with great animation:
'Vitel Donnez moi un cheval frais."
Instantly remounting, he bounded
owe the hedge, followed by his train.
A letter from Jack presents all this
color of the journey and avers that he
reached the house of Franklin in Passy
about two o'clock in the afternoon of
a pleasant May day. The savant
greeted his young friend with an affec-
tionate embrace.
Sturdy son Of my beloved country,
you bring me joy and a new problem"
he said.
"What is the problem7" Jack in

"That of moving Margaret across the
channel. 1 have a double task now.
1 must secure the happiness of Amer
lea and of Jack Irons"
He read the dispatches and then the
doctor and the young man set out in
a coach for the palace of Vergennes,
the prime minister. Colonel Irons
was filed with establishment at the
tokens of veneration for the white
haired man which he witnessed in the
streets of Paris.

have attracted more respectful atten-

INDIANS REVERE MOUNT MISTI
Andes Has Ancient Ruins
in Its Crater.

The Indians thereabouts worship the
mountain of Misti, in the Peruvian
Andes, with much reverence, regard
ing it as the source of the earth
quakes which have often in past days
laid the ~neighboring villages in ruins.
The superstitions regarding the
mountain date from ancient times,
says the Detroit News. The ruins of
ancient temples have been found with
in the crater of the volcano and near
the top there has been placed a great
cross where, in 1877, a party of Span
prayed that it would not erupt again
and ruin the land.
Harry L. Foster, a tropical tramp"
as he calls himself, says that on the
road that passes below the base of the
mountains there are lin 1912 two
apart, and that the Indians who pass
that way religiously carry a stone
from one and place It on the other.
This is a custom SO ancient that none
know it's origin, the natives believing
that, by the performance of this rite,
they appease the mountain for their
insolence in approaching so near it's
sacred person.
Since there are about as many
people passing one way as the other,
the piles of stones are kept approx
mately of equal size.-Detroit News.

CHAPTER XIV
The PAGEANT.


Jack began to assist Franklin In his
correspondence and in the many bust
ness details connected with his mis-
sion.

capacity for work. the young officer
writes. EVERY day he is comforting
with Vergennes or other representa-
tfves Of the king, or with the min
listers of Spain, Holland and Great
Britain. The greatest intellect In the
kingdom is naturally in great request.
Today, after many hours of negotia-
ton with the Spanish minister, in
came M. Dubourg, the most dis
tinguished physician in Europe.

to consult him regarding the vaccina-
ton of the royal family of France.
I'm the evening, M. Robespierre, a
slim, dark-skinned, studious young at
torney from Arras, wearing gold
trimmed sp~ectacles, came for informa-
ton regarding lightning rods, he hav-
ing doubts of their legality. While
they were talking, M. Joseph Ignace
Guillotin, another physician, arrived.
He was looking for advice regarding
a proposed new method of capital
punishment, and wished to know If, in
the Doctors opinion, a painless death
could be produced by quickly %severing
the head from the body. Next morn
ing, M. Jourdan, with hair and beard
as red as the flank of my bay mare
and a loud voice, came soon after
breakfast, to sell US mules by the
shiplead.

that the two great men should come

arose and advanced and shook hands.

emotion in this little scene went out
to that crowd, which represented
the wealth, beauty and chivalry Of
France. l suppose that some of them
thought it a bit of good acting.
but we were to find in this little
drama a climax wholly unexpected by
either OF us and of an Importance to
our country which l try in vain TO
estimate. When the prime minister
handed the purse to Franklin he babe
him open 1t. This the latter did, find
ing therein letters of credit for three
million livres granted, of which we
were In sore need. With it was the
news that a ship would be leaving
Boulogne in the morning and that re-
lays on the way had been provided
for his messenger. The invention Of our
beloved diplomat was equal to the de-
mand of the moment and so he
announced:
washington is like his people.
He turns from all the loves Of this
world to obey the call Of duty. My
young friend who has so we'll present

back and great boots, hoped with
iron, rode a lively little bidet. Such
was the French s~tagecoach OF those
days, it's running gear having been
planned with an eye to economy to
the number of their wheels. The
diary informs one that when the
traveller stopped for food at an inn,
he was expected to furnish his W
knife. The highways were patrolled
night and day, by armed horsemen
and robberies were unknown. The
vineyards were not walled or fenced.
All travellers had a license to help
themselves to as much fruit as they
might wish to eat when it was on the
vines.
They arrived at Chantenay on a
cold rainy evening. They were set
tied in their rooms, happy that they
had protection from the weather,
when their landlord went from room
to room informing them that they
would have to move on.
"Why?" Jack ventured to inquire.
Because a seigneur has arrived"
ga seigneurw Jack exclaimed.
"Oui, Monsieur. He is a very
great man."
"But suppose we refuse to CO." said
Jack.
"Then, Monsieur, I shall detain
your horses. 1t is a law of lie grand
monarque."
There was no lodging It. The coach
and horses came back to the inn door.
The passengers went out into the dark,
rainy night to plod along in the mud,
another six miles or so, that the seig-
neur and his suite could enjoy that
comfort the weary travellers had been
forced to leave. Such was the pow
er of privilege with which the great
Louis had saddled his kingdom.
They proceeded to Ancenis, Anglers
and Breux. The last stage from Yer
sailles to Paris was called the post
royale. There the postillion had to
be dressed like a gentleman. 1t was
a magnificent avenue, crowded every
afternoon by the wealth and beauty Of
the kingdom, in gorgeously painted
coaches, and lighted at night by great
lamps, with double refectors, over It's
center. They came upon 1t in the

For a moment he sat looking sadly
