Yes, monsieur! the Grand I'rlx lottery. I took the money she had put astda for food, and she, tho little Murle, thought It lost. Ah I how sho cried, tho petite. Itut no tnoro shall she weep. Tho doctor snld she must have rest, good food, change of air, or she will die So I took the money and bought a Bbare In n lottery ticket, and see what fortune Is mine I Fifty thousnnd francs 1" The little mat. rushed nbout Im parting tils good news to nil and sundry, for everyone was willing to listen to his talc of good luck, most of them with envy, but somo well pleased that It was groat. For Jean Uerrlcr was ono of the unfortunates with a sick, a dying wife, who had struggled und slaved to put bread Into tho mouths of her husband and tbreo small children ever slnco he, Jean, fell from tho scaffolding of a building on which bo wns working and broke his leg, six months ago struggled and worked till tho llttlo body had suc cumbed to tho strain, and for weeks she had lain without the strength to crnwl across tho floor to tho now empty pantry. And to crown her misfortune, the little hoard of francs sho had saved against such n tlmo had mysteriously disappeared. No bread had passed her lips for two days now, and tho little ones wero whimpering with cold and hunger, while Jean where was hoT Had anything happened to him? Never before bad ha left for so long I And sho wns tired, oh, so tired of waiting for him. It was getting dark and cold so cold I She would sleep and forget tho cold. Them was a stumbling noise as of a drunken innti coming up the stairs, then a rush of stronger, swifter foot steps, and tho crippled Jean burst Into tho room, Intoxicated with Joy, fol lowed by rejoicing and sympathetic neighbors and oven strangers, brought by the little man's enthusiasm. "Tlensl llttlo ono I Hero nro silks and satins, horses and carriages, ser vants and mansions, for you I What I asleep, llttlo one?" and In spite of his elation bo tiptoed across tho room to tho pnle, still figure on tho mile couch so still ono could almost fancy ah, no I not tlmtl Merciful heavens, not that I . . .

Silent tho rejoicing neighbors for tho little Mario had passed to tho House of Many Mansions, through tho Dates of Jasper, the Streets of Gold. Awestruck and nbashed tho crowd pasxed slowly from tho room, leaving the stricken husband three starving, whimpering children plteously crying for Just a crust of bread and a floor Btrown with glittering gold coins. FIRST PLAYED IN IRELAND Croquet Made Its Way From Thit Country to England, and Froto Thsnee to America. Tho first treatise on croquet that came to our llttlo village was by Mayno Held. Tho book was first pub lished In London In 1803; there was a New York edition In 1805; a lloston edition In 1800. Somo of the boys, disdaining the mallets on sale, had them mode of fancy but heavy woods. Tho first stakes wero tall, thick, with gorgeously colored rings to match the balls. Tho gamo encouraged flirtation among tho older players. Young wom en wero coquettish In putting a foot on the ball and saw to It that they were handsomely shod. Was croquet a development of tho Dutch game, closli, or did It pass from llrlttany Into Ireland? It certainly was played In Ireland before It was popu lar In Kugland, writes I'hlllp Hale In the lloston Herald. It has been stated that It was played near Dublin under this name In 183J-6. Tho game and name were Introduced Into Kngland In 1652. In 1658 a writer Id Field said croquet came Into the north of Ireland some twelve years before from a French convent. Trolloptfa Mr. Crosble played croquet In 1802, In 1877 an Ivory turner of London, one Dickson, remembered having made a set of croquet Implements for Ireland forty years before. The game went out of fashion In the country when lawn tennis became the rago. The meu that persisted In cro quet wero suspected of being passion ately addicted to soda lemonade. There was at least a revival, with grand tournaments and strutting champions. Herkimer Johnson tells us that sum mer cottagers at Clamport play as siduously even when It rains and the whacking of the wooden balls often distracts blm from the Investigation of sociological problems.
