BY J. p. GLASS.

1t was a January evening in 1843 in
Paris and an Academician vas giving
a dinner for the purpose of introducing
Beranger, the great French lyric poet,
to Mile Rachel, the famous tragic
actress. Victor Hugo was there, Prosper
Merimee, Theirs, the historian, and
many other celebrities.
Rachel came late. She entered i'm
portantly, and her manner peeved
Merimee, who remained in a corner
and refused to join the others, who
greeted her admiringly. Merimee won
dered why he had come. He and the
tragedienne had been cool to each
other for year, not speaking.
Rachel had a weakness for declaiming
at social parties. After dinner Be-
ranger told her he thought she was
wrong to fritter away her talent in
salons. There is for you only one true
public" he said; that Of the Theatre
Francois"
Rachel thanked him for his advice
She appreciated it, she said And to
show her appreciation she at once de-
claimed the first act of Esther"
Some one was needed to give her the
cues. copy Of Racine was brought
Give it to M. Merimee," said the ac-
tresS maliciously, Merimee did his best
to make the situation embarrassing.
I know nothing about verses" he
said rudely, 80 won't give the cues
Perhaps some of the persons present
who are in that line can scan them
better than can
Every one looked at Hugo. ooh, nor
he excused himself MY eyes are bad. y
Others declined for various reasons
1t finally devolved upon the master OF
the house to sacrifice himself.
Rachel, dressed in somber black and
standing between the piano and the tea
table, assumed a theatrical pose and
began to recite. But in the middle of
it all the host dropped both his copy
of Racine and his spectacles. Ten
minutes passed before the performance
could be resumed. Rachel began to

unlatched. 1t began to swing gently
to and fro, accompanying the actress
with q melodious creaking.
Rachel continued, but with a swoon-
ing expression. Meantime Hugo and
Thiers got into an argument, which
everybody could hear, over Racine
Racine" said Hugo, had a narrow
mind. 1t was Corneille who was the
master intellect"
Thiers wished to annihilate Hugo al
one blow. You say that" ne re-

which Delavigne is the Racine" Hugo's

Mile. Rachel finished her act and
said farewell in huff. Outside she
swore softly and fiuently. "Beasts!'
she exclaimed, bitterly; ''only beasts!'

The Pas. Man, Feb. v (Up)-A smoke-blacEcnod brick wall, stood today among the ashes ot the Cross Lake Indian boarding school, 15o miles northeast of here as q ceno- taph to the mother superior and 10 1 Indian children who died in the school fire Tuesday.
 l It was q monument also to the l bravery of the four nuns in hos l pital here and to the four other nuns and four priests still at Cross Lake who risked their lives to save 1 the 46 girls and 48 boys who es- | capped.
 1 It was , q. ul., when Sister Su- p"rior Margaret Marie awakened 10 f the crackIe of flames in the big school. it was revealed today by the injured nuns. They said she reused | tholn and they ran to the main stair case leading down from dormitory on the third floor. It was flaming. Then the lights failed Fought Through Flames 1 In the darkness, lit momentarily 1 by d lurid glare, the mother supe- rior and her loyal nuns fought through the smoke to get the chill | drcn out.

Two by two they got to the | fire escape and went down. Then ! H wall of fire sprang in front of us. l Tho sister superior was behind il i and so were 70 of our girls.

 Sister Jean de Chantcl received a broken spine, Sister Saint Agathc suffered shock and contracted prob | able pneumonia, and Sister Marie de 'Annunciation suffered from cx- l posurc~t They and Sister Marie Dcs Angels were brought 10 the hospital here.

 At least 30 children suffered from

Inside We stopped at table and l pulled out the jail jacket or Of flee file book, and began asking Sinclair the usual questions.
 He said his name was Harry r. Sinclair and that he was in the oil business. They told he 1 needn't ask him the usual ques- ton - "cau you read and write?' - but l played safe and asked it anyway. Sinclair grinued and nodded. I led the way to his bed, at the end of the dorlnitory. He looked around at the other in mates ill their beds.
 Do they bother you?' he asked.
 Nc" I said, "lhey stay right in their beds until morning.
 A youthful inmate came up.
 "Mr. Sinclair,' he said, i've seen your colors flying many d time at the race track, but never expected to see them here.'

 Sinclair complained about the 'njustice' of his being put i'll jail, and declared that when he got Gut he would set aside enough or his millions to take care of himself and his family for life, and then would spend the rest of it. if necessary to defeat the man he said was responsible for his plight.
 He didn't undrcss completely, but went to bed with part of his clothes on.
 That was the way 80 million dollars got treated when It landed ill jail.
