THE QUEEN'S SABOTS.
General Oilbert Motier, Marquis de
Xa Fayette, kept the old family chateau.
Out va niac. in Auvergue. a large, strong,
ceignorial Imilding. yet without come
liness ' or ..character. . Not ,far, away,
mon tall forostn of beeches and chest
nuts, steep, rocky heights arose. , Under
'the dim gi-(Hn-. light - of these broad
"woodlands dwelt in their rude cabins
and labored shoulder to shoulder char
coal burners and resin gatherers, bushel
snakers. and coopers, cobblers, , and
fashioners of clapboards and laths the
whole tribe of workers in wood. . And
thin little people ate and hewed together
in the open air under leafy shadows,
nringliug the deafening blows of ax and
hammer, the grinding of flies, and the
gratings of saws, with the slowly curl
ing smoke and the low toned songs that
Torte to heaven from many a happy busy
heart. '' ;, . :;
To this cnu patty belonged an orphan
cobbler boy. pensive aud timid and
silent, who apart from the rest cut and
clipped, pared and pointed, hollowed and
polished the sabots that he made. His
amf was Razoa: in the city, it would
have been Raison Reason; but the easy,
careless people of the j province , had
rounded its sharp, rough . corner and
oftened it to their own liking- But since
he lived alone and spoke but little the
neighbors thought him dull .and ; stupid
and ' dabbed him ' Darazou -Deraison
lacking wit. And then, because under
mn old musket hanging in his hut he had
et a little picture of Marie' Antoinette.'
they laughiuglv whispered sometimes to
one another tLat he was in love with
their beautiful queen.
One day General ; de La Fayette came
from Paris to the castle of Chavaniac. It
was in those' days that at Trianon the
French court played the pastoral under
-the leadership of M. de Floriau, captain
of the dragoons: and the rich, grand
. eigiienrs aud the fair, great' ladies of
the land disguised themselves as swains
and millers aud country schoolmasters,
as shepherd girlsrjnil milkmaids. 'Tis
aaid tliey all Avore-Teutbots. dainty ones,
to be sure, but citatle wooden, shoes,
' with Marie Antoinette the . first among
them. : 8acb' was r the story which the
food Marquis de La Fayette brought to
the eager listeners in his neighboring
forests: and Darazou was there, most
aager listener of them all. , '..

-Yes."
"And if I made her a pair you'd take

gentle queen. .
And Darazou was off. Night and day

JLnvergne peasant fondly fashions for
the maiden of his choice : and they

the aged dame. ' Darazou.' with his pair
-of sabots, knocked at the chateau gate
and asked for M. le. Marquis.
"It is IJT he-said.' "and here; are.' the
wooden shorn."
' "You have in ride them, to be sure; and
they might well be for your sweetheart.
tor they ;are beautiful; and you may.be
are that I will "jrive'them to' the queen. 1
And indeed they were beautiful; of
chestnut wood, and narrow' and cered
and elegant: finely cut aud carved with
delicate .ornament.... Upon the toe was
.wrought -a heart' encircled, with taysl and
wreathed above it these four letters. 'T.
T. L. V." As for the point, since it was
for a royal foot', the simple cobbler had
exaggerated .it a little. The marquis
took the sabots aud carefully examined
them, admiring them, yet smiling, . too:
for well he knew the meaning of the let
. 'tecs' written on the shoes: of very fiancee
Is Auvergue.
Darazou hurried home, and underneath
his tiny portrait of the queen he heavily
traced in black the four mystical char
acters. (Jeneil do La Favette left for
Paris, carrying . to .Trianon, as. he .bad
promised, the sabots of Auvergue. Nor
did he, forget to tell, their story, for the
court was ever readv for 'a shepherd tale.
The queen' was greatly pleased. Real
oountry sabots from the hands of a real
sabot maker of thV, mountains! and so
quaint and queer! "' -4-- '
"The heart surrounded with rays, as
they make .the Virgin's . head 1 - nnder

"Your majesty alone can permit me or
command tde- to declare their meaning."
"1 listen, marquis. I permit 70U."

in connection with the opening of the :
London and Paris telephone a good story
is' told of the early days of telegraphing,
when telephones were not yet thought
of, and when conversation had to be car
ried on., metaphorically: speaking, with
the help of : the Morse instrument. At
the time referred to there were two com
peting companies working with the Con
tinent. One was the Submarine, wih
its office in Threadneedle street: the
other' "the " Electric and International,
with its offices in Telegraph street,, not

worked to France, the other- to. Holland.

lerent omces at lip. m.- ; r 1; ' "!
. At about ten minutes past 11 the tele
graphist) who was in charge of ' the relay
at Amsterdam was asked by Telegraph
street to join him up to Brussels. . 'This
was done, and Brussels was requested to
switch him on to Calais, and Calais was
desired to join through "to London.. The
line thus formed was from London to
Orforduc6s, on the Norfolk coast; across
the North sea to Scheveningen, on the
Dutch coast: through Holland, through
Belgium, through France, across the
English channel and., -back ' by. Dover, to
Loudon! ' And all this-trouble was taken
by the Telegraph, street man to ask his
"chum" in- Threadneedle street "if he
