Neuilly Bridge
rE two villagea of Neuilly-aur-. ,
Seine and Courbevole, In France,
are built upon opposite banka of
the river Seine. At the. time our story
beglns-about 1603 one journeyed from
one town to the other on a flatboat,
suspended overhead by a cable and .
r poled across the stream by ferrymen.
. The king. Henry IV, was petitioned by
the villagers for a bridge. But the king'
replied that it would cost too much, and ,
besides, it was not really needed.
' Two years later ths king, with Queen .
Mary, had occasion to cross the Selna
; at , tbla i point. The , royal coach' was
placed upon the boat In the middle of
the stream, however, the horses took
fright and Jumped Into the river, car
rying tho king and! queen along, with
them. There was great excitement until
the king was rescued.
Next day the king declared it was ab
solutely necessary to nave a onage at

But not enough money was furnished
for the building of the bridge, and by
the time all waa spent it still lacked a
parapet on each side. In this state, of
course, it was very o'&ngeroua for trav
. eiers, and Aeveral persons fell over the
unprotected eldea and were -drowned in
the- river below.- . ' "7' x ' . '
Thirty yeara afterward, uukmg iue
reign of Louis XIII, the citlxens of tho

be made safe. The king replied, through

The two men heard that there waa
In a town some miles awaya circus .
man who wished to buy a trick horse.
So they . traveled together to that
town. Oh tho "way there they spent
the night at a hotel. That evening
Mr, Wh(te stole silently to the stable.
. Then, while no one was looxing. no
painted his black horse all white and
painted Mr. Green'a white horse en
tirely black. For bo knew that the,
circus man would surely choose Mr, ;
Green's horse as tho better animal. '
Mr. Green suspected nothing, of
course. So next day they appeared
before the buyer and asked him to
Judge their horses. '
Mr. White was very much annoyed
to find that the "black" horse, which
was ordinarily so gentle, now plunged
and reared and would not keep still.
Finally, in anger, he cut it with a
laah, when, lot right across the back
of the horse there was left a whit
streak, where tho black paint had
come oft under the whip. And there
upon the restiveneas of the "black"
norre passed away immediately? he
now seemed satisfied that Mr.- White's
villainy . would be discovered And r

still lived in' their former borne and'
cultivated little plots of ground.
. When they finished their , explora
tions the three turned back to their
v suiting point. Just as they were
passing through the big dining room
again. Trixle felt Fred nudging ber
elbow. She followed the direction of
his finger, as be slyly pointed, and
saw the head of a boy about IS Tears
old appearing around tho corner of a
neighboring chamber. Then it disap
peared all at once, aa though aome
one had pulled tho boy backward.
Fred put his finger on his lips and
shook hia head at Trixie.
Fred and Trixie now began to think
that it waa time for them to take
their departure, but when they sug
gested it to tn

upon their remaining for a wlle. An "

The two now grew seriously alarm
ed. Trixle began to think how her
mother would worry when they didn't
return that afternoon, and Fred re
proaohed himself for having consent
ed to accompany the dwarf and for
having (urged Trlxlo to go with him.
