CHAPTER VI.
Tbe two companions walked oa for
som distance without speaking, for they
both hid plenty to think of. and each,
seemed to hare thoughts which he wish
ed to keep from the other. Uoupart
wai the first to break the silence.
''Louis," he ashed, in a half careless
tone, "does Simon Lobois lore your sts

i Heard aright, he re-
" plied: "
"Lots her Simon lire Louise What
do yoa meant
"I mean what I ask. Haa Simon I.o
bols erer thought of marrying with
Louise?"
"Why, what a question! Are your wits
turned? But why do you ask?"
, "Simply because I I wished to know."
"Hat Goupart, yon suspect something.
Now, ont with It It yon lore me, tell
me alL Am I not right f
"I cannot "say that I really suspert,
Louis, but I can see some small straws
la the wind, and I should like to find
which way they lie."
"tio ahead. Speak on."
, Then listen. Louis. Ton heard the
answer that red Tlllain made when you
asked him who sent him to kill ns? Htrwere the questions asked and answered.
aid they did not mean to kill you. Do
yon belters no spoke the truth then?"
Tea, Goup; they meant to kill one of
as, and only one. The arrow that cam
ear your head waa meant for you, only
yon must have moved after the shaft
started. Had they meant death for both
of us, we should hardly hare knows
what killed us, for then they would hare
been at homo la their work. When wo
started up, they could not well shoot yon
without endangering my life, and thus
they got bothered. They were mistaken
In their estimate of my character, for
they really believed, when they drew
their tomahawks, and commenced their
death-howl and dance, that we should bo
frightened ont of oor wits."
"They were mistaken, In truth," return
ed Ooupart. Aad then. Is a changed
tone, he added, "But you see they meant
to kill me, and only capture you. Now,
what does it mean? Can yon Inform me
of any possible pis whereon to hang a
thought?"
For some distance Louis walked
thoughtfully on, and when he spoke, his
Tolce was Tory low and distinct
"Ton asked me if Simon Lobois loved
my sister? Had yoa any reason for sus
pecting such a thing?"
It was now Goupart's turn to hesitate,
bnt it waa not for a long time.
"I hare reason to belters that he hates
. mo. - Now, why should he be so? While
. I knew him In France, we were on the
most friendly terms. To bo sure, I used
to beat him at the pistol, but then he
mors than made np for it In the sword
play. But we were the best friends im
aginable. Now, howerer, he hates or
fears me, and the more he tries to hide
It the more plainly can I see It Now,
whence comes it If not from his fear of
losing Louise?"
"Goupart, there's a show of substance
there! Yet I never thought that Simon
was t man to lore deeply."
"To lore what?"
"Why any female."
"Ah." returned Goupart, "he may hare
a strong affection, howerer, for some
.thousand pieces of hard, yellow gold.
The dying man said, If yoa remember,
' that there was a strange bird in the
eagle's nest!"
- "Yes-yes."
"I might hare feared that suspicion
would fall on me, had not I been one of
the intended victims. Bat tell me, Louis,
what you think of it"
"I know not what to think Howl Bat
yon hare touched a strange point We
will wttch Simon Lobois when we reach
home."
"Ws will." uttered Goupart, eagerly.
"Ws will watch him."
"Ay," resumed Louis, upon whose
mind the startling suspicion seemed to
work now, "wo will work it so that wo
will come npon him suddenly; and while
wo tell of our adventure, we will nots
his face. I hare loved that man in days
gone by, for he hss been faithful to me,
yet I have found him growing somewhat
strange of late. Ua! what's that?
Louise, as I'm a sinner! Goup, I'll ask
her a question now, ere we reach the
boms!"
Ths two hunters had now reached the
field next to the dwelling, and they aaw
Louise, accompanied by Tony and one
female slave, coming to meet them. As
soon as the first merry greetings were
over, and Tony bad taken the venison,
Louis drew his sister aside.
"Louise," ho said, assuming a smile,
though he felt It not "I know you will
pardon mo If I ask yoa a very foolish
question, but yet I hope you will answer
me truly. Has Simon Lobois ever said
anything to yoa whereby you could sus
' pect that ho wished to possess yoa for
his?"
"Why, Louis, what has pat such s
thing into your head?" uttered the beau
tiful girl, looking her brother in the face
with a smiling expression.
. "Ths thought has come to me, and It If
' really for my interest to know. Now tell
me If he has ever let drop any word to
that effect"
"Easily, Louis, I ought not to "
Aha! you've exposed yourself. Now
out with It."
"Well, then, he has."
"I thought so."
"I told btm I should fear bo was craxy
if he ever spoke so again."
"Then he spoke plainly he " '
"I'll tell you, Louis. He swore ho
should die if I did not wed him; and I
laughed at him, and told him he was
craxy. I never dreamed of such a thing
before."
"And when was this r
"On the very next night after Goupart's
arrival."
Shortly, after this the brother and sis
ter allowed St Dents to rejoin them,
and Louis was not long in making him
understand the truth. They took the
' way around back of the barn, so that no
- on could see them from the house until
they arrived, snd thus they entered by
the postern; and when they reached the
kail, Louis just caught a sight of Lobois
standing upon the piasxa, and looking
earnestly off In the direction of the river
path. The youth bade Goupart remuin
. behind, and then he walked out upon the
piasxa. Lobois started when he saw
him.
"Ah, safe back!" uttered Simon.
"Where's St. Denis T" vf
"Alas, I fear he's prisoner!" return
ad Louis, sadly, ;
"A prisoner! How?" articulated Bl-
Con. And as be spoke, ths youth looked '
la rata for ths first expression of sor
row.
"Why, I left him lost now with Louise,
snd upon my soul, I think the poor fel
low s captivated! But what a the mat
ter, Simon?"
"Nothing nothing; ooly yoa stsrtled
me somewhat when yoa said St Denis
was a prisoner, for I knew not but thst
some roving band of Indians might have
fallen npon you. Jesting npon such mat
ters is rather out of place," And with
this Simon Lobois wslked away.
"Aha, Simon Lobois !" mattered Louis,
to himself, after the man had gone, "you
were stsrtled in the wrong plsce. Twas
the truth that stsrtled yoa, and not the
lent!"
Lobois did not show much of his real
feelings when he sst down to the table,
tor he came in smiling to the supper
room, sud hardly had he taken hia seat
ere he turned to Goupart and ssid:
"St Denis, master Louis came nigh
frightening me a short time sine. He
told me yoa were a prisoner, and, for the
moment I feared yoa had really fallen
Into the hands of the Indians."
"Well," returned Goupsrt, "we both
of as came within an ace of it; ao Iouia
had some foundation for hia report"
"How? What?" uttered the marquis.
"Did ye meet with any danger?" -
"Only six stout Indiana, who tried to
kill Goupart and take me prisoner," re
turned Louis.
Simon Lobois did not appear surprised,
bat he trembled, snd the color forsook
his cheeks. Sharp eyes were watching
him. Louise looked up with a startled,
incredulous expression, while the old man
made three Ineffectual attempts to ask a
question. But Louis relieved him by
commencing with the first sight ot the
deer, snd ending with the desth ot the
fellow who died by the tree.
"They were Natches." said the mar
quis, breathlessly.
"No. They were Chickasaws all ot
them."
For the next few moments, various
and the old man seemed about equally
balanced between astonishment and pride
in his brave boy.
"But what could It mean?" uttered Si
man, who felt It necessary to ssy some
thing. "Ay, what could HT repeated Louis,
trembling with apprehension, bat very
strangely Indeed, looking oftener and
longer upon Goupsrt than upon Louis.
"Yes thst's it.' cried the old man,
"What could they mean?"
"Why," returned Louis, "I can Imag
ine but one csuse. They know your
wealth, fsther, and they must hsvs hop
ed that If they could secure me, they
would have received a great ransom for
me. They probably saw that Uoupart
waa a stranger, and so they mesnt to
put him out of the way, in order that he
might not expose them."
Simon breathed very freely now; and
the marquis looked upon this as a very
probable explanation of the mystery.
After supper, Louis and Goupart em
braced the first opportunity to be alons
together.
"What think you now?" asked Uou
part "O, Goupart I know sot what to think!
I cannot believe it possible thst Simon
would do such a thing, and yet things
look dsrk against him. He has asked
Louise for her hand asked her earnest
ly and persereringly."
"And she whst wss her answer?"
"Why, as yoa may suppose, she laugh
ed at his folly."
"Then I fear he Is at the bottom of
this. But let ns watch him. We will
keep our suspicions a secret for a while
at least and while we exercise the ut
most csre for ourselves, we will watch
him also." -
"Yoo are right Goupart I will only
make one confidant and that shall be old
Tony. He Is a keen, quick-witted fel
low, and I cannot only trust him, but I
esn depend much upon his ssgscity. He
hss been with my father ever since I
wss born, as you know. He wss one ot
the poor fellows who were taken from
the wreck of the slaver at the Cape de
Verdea, and he went to France with my
father from choice. He alone shall help
us now."
And thus ths matter was left for the
present
CHAPTER VIL
Another week psssed away, and noth
ing -further occurred to mar the pleas
ures of the young people st the chateau.
Ot course, a dark suspicion sometimes
threw a cloud over their sonls, but then
they saw nothing new to worry them,
and they had begun to hope that after
all, their danger had its rise in the cu
pidity of the Chlcksssws. And during
this week, too, Simon Lobois hsd been
more sociable and agreeable than before,
and perhaps he was not an evil man at
all. At any rate, they tried to hope so.
Tony had seen nothing yet though he al
ways shook - bis hesd very dubiously
when the dark cousin's name was men
tioned. It was a pleasant afternoon, and Uou
part had wandered off to where some
beautiful wild flowers were just peeping
into blossom down by the river's bank
In the front garden. But he was not
alone. Louise wss with him. He had
not aaked her to come with him, nor had
ahe asked him where he was going. They
walked on and came to a sest where a
huge grapevine bad been trailed up over
and about it They stopped here and
sat down. The sun was already Hearing
the distant tree tops, and the air was
soft and balmy.
"Louise," spoke the young man, at
length, and his voice waa very tow and
tremulous, "do you remember the great
garden back of the old chateau in Cler
mont?" "O, yes; I remember ItVell," returned
the maiden, with sparkling eye.
"And do you remember bow we used
to go out there and pick flowers, and
how you used to weave long garlands
with your tiny fingers, and throw them
over my head?"
"Yes, Goupart; I remember very well."
"Ah, those were happy times, Louise!"
"Yes yes. And yet, in all, they were
no happier than we find them here now,
for my father was not happy there."
"I know I know. And, after all, what
Is happiness, but the offspring of con
tent? Those were happy hours thers in
the old garden at Clermont and I have
seen some happy ones here."
"O and we'll see a great many more."
"I hope so I believe so. But tell me,
Louise, do you remember how we used
to lsugb snd talk there, in that old gar
den, and in the old chateau, and bow
you used to plague and pester me?"
."Yes. I remember very well. And
how well you used to bear it!"
"And do you remember how you used
to pinch my cheek, and box my ears?"
"Yes."
"And why was It? Why did you do
those things T
"Because because you used to pes
ter me."
"How did I pester you? Come now
tell me." And as Goupart thus spoke,
he reached out and took the fair girl's
hand.
But she made no reply. Her eyes were
bent upon the ground, aad the warm,
rich blood mounted to her cheeks and
temples.
"It you will not tell me, may I tell
your' whispered ths young man, tremu-
loualjr.
"But I snsy have forgotten what yoa
mean." said Louise, casting a furtire
glance np into her companion's fsce, but
dropping her eyes again when she fouad
how eagerly his gsse was fastened upon
her. "You used to pester me in many
wsys."
"Yet t can remember ot but one. Shall
I speak Itr
"Certainly yon may speak."
"Then 'twas for calling you my littls
wife thst yoa used to do these things.
And more, too; yoa used to assure me
that when you became my wife in earn
est, yoa should be strong enough to pinch
snd box me as I deserved. lKm't you
remember ?"
"But but I wss a child then." mur
mured Louise, trembling.
"Ay and sre were both children. Yoa
were then a laughing, buoyant girl of
ten, and I a wild youth of seventeen.
Those were times when the heart hid
noue of its emotions. Ah. l.ouise, many
a time since then have I looked back
upon those hours, snd tried to snalyie
the emotions that moved me theu. It
seemed strange that I should have then
taken an image upon my heart that ths
hand of time could never efface snd
that too, the Image ot a mere child. Hut
do you remember when the painter, Vivi
an!, came to the old chateau, aud I hired
him to paint your miuiature oa ivory?"
"Yes," murmured Louise, now looking
up.
St Denis opened his rest and from
beneath it he drew a golden locket that
opened by means of a spring. He press
ed it, and the case separated, revealing
a sweet face a childlike countenance,
yet nil) of soul and lite. Ths golden
hair hung In wild profusion about ths
dimpled cheeks, and a beaming stuile
dwelt in the deep blue eyes, sad upon
the parting lips.
"Do you know whom that was taken
for?" Goupart whispered.
"O, yes 'tis me; 'tis mine. I remem
ber It well. O, how like Louis it looks!"
"Becauso It looks even now like yoo.
But listen, Louise. Seven years yea,
eight years I have owned this- sweet
transcript and not for one moment dur
ing all that time, has it left my posses
sion. Never have my eyes closed to
sleep but It hss rested "Upon my bosom,
aad never a waking hour but I have worn
It next my heart Think yoa I have
forgotten the sweet lore of my boyhood?"
Gradually the fair girl's head sank upon
her companion's bosom, and when sh
looked up again, her eyes were filled with
tears.
(To be continued.)
TRADES FOR LONQ LIVES.
Callings that Aro Likely to Make Yoa
live Over Tear Allotted Time.
No trade In tbe world Is better and
healthier than dye-uiakliig from coal
tar. There Is no muminl work that
comes near It, for tar. aud the suietl ot
It Is the finest of all tonics and tlssue
bulldera; so much so that the average
life of. a tar-worker comes out at 80
years. The mortality la SO per cent low
er, too, than In any other factory
trades.
Distilling saccharin from the tar la
equally good, and the bony framework
and circulation of a worker In tar Is
always first-class. Malignant diseases
are almost unknown In aniline-dye fac
tories, and eren In epidemics the work
ers suffer little. And there la nothing
like a tarworka for keeping off Influ
enza. Yet the work of actually making
the tar, which falls to gas and coke
works, is virtually unhealthy, because
of tbe sulphur fumes; but when the
finished tar Is passed on to dyeworks
it brims with health and strength, and
the weakliest men Improve when work
ing It
Eighty -six years Is a marvelous aver
age, by the way, for the average of the
population is forty-nine.
Still better, although not a factory
trade, like tar-working, Is cow-keeping.
Not herding cows In the country, for
that Is neither more nor less healthy
than any other farming work, but tend
ing cow stables. Here the average
length of life is 85, and scores of stall
ed cowkeepers live over the age of 100.
This Is because a cow Is the ouly ani
mal whose presence Is thoroughly
healthy for man the very breath of a
cow is beneficial. Consumption and
kindred Ills are utter strangers In cow
stables, and tbe best thing a man can
do to lengthen his life is to look after
cows, and. If possible, sleep In a room
above the stable.
There Is a very strange difference In
trades that go on side by side in the
way of life-lengthening. The labor ot
wheeling a barrow, In particular, has
such a strengthening effect on the
muscles and joints that confirmed barrow-wheelers
show the best average In
all the building trades nearly 77 years,
and a great many touch the 100. This
Is largely because, If a man wheels a
barrow properly, tbe wlde-npart arms
open the oheet, and help to strengthen
the lungs In a wonderful way. Where
as, though wielding a pickax seems as
If It should be a fine exercise, it really
knocks the life-average down to 45. The
partly stooping position, and the bent
Inwards position of the arms, contracts
the chest dangerously, cramping the
lungs, till they are easy victims to
pneumonia.
Iron smelting puts ten years on to the
average life ot a man, if he has good
lungs to start with; but If be is weak
lunged It Is liable to cut him off alto
gether. Coal mining Is not good, but
copper mining brings the average up to
80 years with a run, for the composi
tion of the ore, when powdered, has an
extremely strengthening effect on the
blood and nerves.

There Is a uitttiral aud necessary progression from the extreme uf anarchy

The basis of our tMilltlctil systems Is the right of the people to make and

It Is among the evils, and perlmps not the smallest, of democratic! gov

In proportion as the structure of a government gives force to public
opinion, it Is essential that public oplulon should be enlightened.
Retaliation Is certainly just aud sometimes necessary, even where at

policy require that It should be avoided.
Of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, re

TRIBUTES TO WASHINGTON.
Eatccmand Affection Shown the Father
of Ills Country.
"Born upon our soil of parents also
born upon it never for a moment hav
ing had sight of the old world instruct
ed according to ths modes of bis time,
only in the spare, plain, but wholesome
elementary knowledge which our insti
tutions provide for the children of tho
people growing up beneath and pene

American society living from Infancy
to manhood snd age amidst our expand
ing, but not luxurious civilisation par

long contest with unreclaimed nature snd
Uncivilised man our sgony of glory, the
war of independence our great victory
of peace, the formation of the Union,
and the establishment of the constitu
tion be is all, all our own. Washington
la ours."
The foregoing was written by Daniel
Webster in regard to the Fsther of Ills
Country, tbe anniversary of whose birth
is an occasion that is ever freshly remem
bered by American hearts. "He was the
first man of the time in which he grew,"
wrote Hufus Choate. "Ills memory Is
first aud most sacred In our love; and
erer, hereafter, till ths last drop of
blood ahall freeze in tbe last American
heart, hia name shall be a spell ot power
snd might There Is one personal, one
vsst felicity which no man can share
with Mm. It was the dally beauty snd
towering and mntchleae glory of his life
which enabled him to creste his country,
snd at the snme time secure an undying
love and regard from the whole Ameri
can people. Undoubtedly there were
brave and wise snd good men befora his
day la every colony. But the American
nstion, as a nation, I do not reckon to
have begun before 1774, and the first love
of that young America was Washington.
Tbe first word she lisped wss his nnme.
Her earliest breath spoke it It is still
her proud ejaculation. It will be the
last gasp of her expiring life. About
and around him ws call up no dissentient,
discordant and dissatislied elements, no
sectional prejudice or bias, no party, no
creed, no dogma of politics. Nous of
these shall sssall him. Yes, when the
storm of battle grows durkest and rages
highest the memory of Washington shall
nerve every American arm and cheer
every American heart. It ahall reil
lume that Promethean fire, that sublime
flame of patriotism, that devoted love of
country which bis words hare com
mended, which bis example baa conse
crated." ,
The story of George Washington's
life is an old one, but tbe salient facts
will besr repeating. He was born at
Wakefield, Westmoreland County, Vir
ginia, Feb. 22, 1732, lived from 1735 to
1739 at what ia now Mount Vernon, and
when he was 7 years old he wss taken
to an estate on the Rappahannock, al
most opposite Fredericksburg. The fsth
er was one of the prosperous planters of
Virginia, able to give his children what
education the times could afford. Tho
first teacher of George Is reputed to have
been a convict, whom his father bought
for the purpose. All of Washington's
schooling ended before he was 10. Ills
long and brilliant career as a soldier snd
statesman has given to history some of
its most interesting pages.
"It wss strange," wrote Thackeray,
"that In a savage forest of Pennsylva
nia a young Virginia officer should fire s
shot, and waken up a war that was to
last for sixty years, which was to cover
bis own country and puss into Europe,
to cost France her American colonies,
to sever ours from us and create the
great western republic; to rage over the
old world when extinguished In the new;
and, of all tbe myriads engaged In the
vast contest, to leave the prize of the
greatest fame with him who struck the
first blow."
As to the exteem and affection In
which tbe name and character of Wash
ington were held one cannot do better
than quote Lafayette, who wrote from
France as follows:
"Were you but such a man as Julius
Caesar, or the King of Prussia, I should
almost be sorry for you at the end of
the great tragedy where you are acting
such a part Hut, with my dear general,
I rejoice at the blessings of a psace when
our noble ends have been secured. He
member our Valley Forge times; and.
from a recollection of past dangers ami
labors, we shall be still more pleased at
our present comfortable situstion. I can
not but envy the happiness of my grand
children, when they will be about cele
brating and worshiping your name. To
have one of their sncestors smong your
soldiers to know fas had ths good for
tuue to be the friend of your heart, will
be the eternal honor In which they ahall
glory."
The poet 8helley, aboard an American
ship, drinking to the health of Washing
ton and the prosperity of the American
commonwealth, remarked: "As a wsrrlor
snd statesman he waa righteous In sll he
did, unlike sll who lived before or since;
bo never used his power but for the ben
efit of bis fellow creatures."
MALADIES OF THE RULERS
Nearly Kvery Monarch of the Old World
ftuffara from Dangerous Sickness,
Mental and physical diseases have
In a peculiar measure ravaged royalty,
the percentage of afflicted crowned
beads being much greater than that of
any other group of Individuals. Ex
cluding Illnesses of the nature of King
Edward's and restricting ourselves to
chronic and Incurable diseases. It Is
found ttmt almost every crowned ruler
In a sufferer from some dangerous mal
ady. The Cznr of Russia hat been afflict
ed with melancholia since his curliest
dnys, and his malady has Increased In
Intensity since his accession to the
throne of the Romanoffs, Not all the
skill of the renowned mental special
ists of Gerniuny, Britain and France
has succeeded In removing tbe erer
present blighting malady of ths em
peror of all the Russlas. It will not be
forgotten, moreover, that the present
ruler of the Muscovite Empire owes
bis accession to the mental Incapacity
of his brother, the natural heir.
Germany's strenuous kaiser leads an
embittered life because of bis par
alyzed arm and an Incurable disease
of the ear, which wlir untlmately
reach his brain. It will be remember
ed that the emperor's father, Freder
ick, succumbed to cancer.
Alfonso of Spain ! admitted to be
stricken with scrofula, and It Is con
fidently asserted that the youthful
monarch has frequently exhibited
signs of Insanity,
"Abdul the Damned" has only In
frequent spells of freedom from mel
ancholia, and harrowing pen pictures
have been drawn of tbe abject condi
tion to which the "kingly malady" re
duces Turkey's despotic monarch.
The late King Milan of Servla was
the subject of oft recurring fits of
madness, and the King of Wurtem
berg does not enjoy entire sanity. Ba
varia's lust ruler terminated a wretch
ed existence a frenaler suicide, and
that country's present monarch suffers
from softening of the brain.
Hapsburgs, Romanoffs, Bourbons
and Guelplis have been scourged by
the dread diseases, which have, to a
peculiar and striking degree, marked
out royalty for their own, and the poi
soned blood which has flowed from
their veins has cursed a dozen dynas
ties. I'art of Bis Duty.

The iiiissRKe of time Is not likely t
bring any new wrinkles to tbt brows of
the two clilcrly Irish eltUeni of whom
tbe New York Tribune tells. Out for
stroll, they paused befort a Jowolsr'i
show window In which wert displayed
three clocks recording time In various
parts of the world,
" 'TIs odd," sslil one. "In some parts
of tbe enrth 'tis yesterday, and In otbt
er parts 'tis to-morrow while tbe Unit
ed Bintcs la the only place In all the
world whore 'tla to-day." "
" 'TIs odd."
M,Tla so."
"Now, when would be me btrthdax
If I waa In rai ls?"
"Your birthday la to day J"
" 'Tl."
"Then ye could never have birth
dny If y' were over there, because yout
birthday comes to-day."
'"Tla odd."
" 'Tla ao."
"No doubt thnt'a why the population
I so reduced In Kin nee; but It baa Ita
advantages. A man la alwaya aa old
na be la If he la born over there, but If
he Uvea abroad he la a year younger on
hia birthday, countlu' be be home."
