"Because doors are made to open, carrions’ meat, and because my bauble Is as good a switch as the flat of thy lord’s sword!” And I rattled the bells of my bauble in his face, with a shrill laugh, for 1 heard whispering In the shadow and wished not that it should reach his ears. He began to argue— that is, to curse—and 1 was at a loss what to do when something hit me on the cheek and Jingled on the floor. It was a piece of money, flung by Father Benoit, 1 was certain, and I began to grumble. "There. I have lost the shining fel low that was to keep watch with thee till his brother flew to meet him on tnv ret urn!" Loys caught the bait at once and flung the door wide, letting In the moonlight, which fell In a great square on tlie stone floor and showed me the goldpfece lying Just below me. 1 put my foot on It as Loys went on his knees to peer about and began to talk loud and rattle my bells and point out nothing lu the shadows, so that under cover of my noise and his abstraction my three might slip out. This they did while Loys’ back was turned, and a:, soon as I saw them well across the courtyard I kicked the coin Into Loys’ face, sprang out, dragged tlie door shut with a great noise and sped after them. I was almost at their heels—thinking all safe, for I knew that the Sieur d’Audilly had tlie key of tlie postern in Ids pouch—when a shout behind stop ped me, and 1 saw the door standing open and Loys runulng after me. shouting at the top of his lungs: "Treachery, treachery! A’ mol. a' moi! Halt, there!” The others had stopped short at the sound of his voice, but It was out of sheer bewilderment. For one moment (heir shapes stood out clear and sharp ¡n the moonlight; then they turned an began to run again, the girl between the other two, each witli a hand in Father Benoit fidgeted In his chair and turned over two leaves at onee. "Fool,” said he, "thou hast tby belly full because thy head is empty, but I am uot thy paymaster. Here in this turret thou art at liberty to rest thy tongue gratis.” “Father,” I replied, "It Is a pleasure to me to enlighten so apt a scholar. God send thee a life as long as thy ser mons and somewhat more cheerful." And 1 went singing down the stairs to rally monselgueur and get him In good trim for his next week’s visit from the king. Beside his chair stood the Sieur d'Au- dilly tensing a great hound. As I came up the hair was beginning to rise along the creature's back and the low thun der to rumble in his throat, and the gallant captain pushed him away with a look of relief that he had me to turn on. “Well, coxcomb, where bast been crowing now?” “Over a strange nest, peacock!" He drew Ills brows together. “True, It Is midsummer!” be sneered. “In midsummer gossip,” said 1 to monseigneur. "peacocks mate with doves. Didst know that?” “Eh? How?” asked he, smiling. But I saw by the captain's angry eyes that I was too cureless. “The reason of that riddle we will lay before the king next week,” I an swered lamely enough. But he was si lent, while the Sieur d’Audilly talked of a new project he had for lightening bis men's gear. It was with a beating heart that, as soon as the great hall was dark and quiet that night, up Father Benoit's stair I sped to find him pacing to and fro like a bear in a pit. He looked up sharply as 1 entered, but spoke no word, and 1 flung myself Into his great chair, stretched out my legs and sigh ed. “Helgho! With such a cliair as this to wait In, no wonder thy soul Is stored with patience!” “Fool!” said he sharply. "Is ft quiet below?" “As quiet ns tby conscience.” He ceased walking and came to me and stood before me, opening and clos ing his lips ns If he wished to speak. His fat face was pale. Ills lips dry. Before he could find a word there was a light rap at the door. I sprang to fling It open, but no one was to be seen. A small object lay upon the threshold, and I brought it to the ta per’s flame and held it for Father Be I run back tn Loya and sprang upon him. noit to see. It was the chessman’s red hers.

Ouce I felt some liiug touch me and beard a dog’s sniffing at my burden. The creature seemed to understand and whined, very softly, and followed us, pattering along behind us to the very chapel door, where, as no one had the heart to thrust him back, be came in, whining as we laid the Demoiselle Alys upon the step before the altar rail, where she bad knelt as a bride not half an hour before.

Fire Amons; the Redwoods. Perhaps the most startling pheno menon of tlie tire was tlie quick death of childlike sequoias only a century or two ago, says John Muir lu Tlie Atlan tic. In the midst of tlie other compara tively slow and steady fire work one of these tall, beautiful saplings, leafy and branchy, would lie seen blazing up sud denly all In one heaving, booming. pas sionate flame reaching from tlie ground to tlie top of tlie tree and fifty to a hundred feet or more above It, witli a smoke column bending forward and streaming away on tlie upper free flow ing wind. To burn these green trees a strong fire of dry wood beneath them is re quired to send up a current of air hot enough to distill inflammable gases trom the leaves and sprays; then, in stead of tlie lower limbs gradually catching fire ami Igniting tlie next and next lu succession, tlie whole tree seems to explode almost simultaneous iv, and witli awful roaring and, throb bing a round tapering flame shoots up 200 or 300 feet, and in a second or two is quenched, leaving tlie green spire a black dead mast bristled and roughen ed witli down curling boughs. t-eklnir'n Monasteries. Of monasteries and lamaseries In Pe king the number is endless. The lamas ami bonzes who dwell therein can be counted by the thousands. They are mostly Tibetans and Mongolians, sup posed to be studying Buddhism under tlie direction of an authenticated lineal descendant of Buddha himself. In deed, In one particular monastery three lineal descendants are to be seen for a consideration. They are regarded as semigods and treated as such. Of the three so favored, fed and flattered one is a youngster of 12 years, a bright, lively Mongolian boy, fully alive to his own importance, high dignity and destiny, yet not averse to the filling of ills baggy little pockets witli the dollars of such "foreign devils" as af ford him the opportunity of so doing The lamas and bonzes are a greasy, grimy, dirt 'ncrusted lot. The denser the dirt the greater the reputation for sanctity and close spiritual affinity with Buddha. TheJr whole time seems to lie passed In eating, extracting dol lars from trangers and sleeping.— Pali Mall Gazette. To Cure Hound Shoulder*. In tlie case of round shoulders the muscles of tlie back are likely to stiffen from disuse. A special exercise to get them into a limber condition seems to be necessary. Stretch out and down witli the arms until they nearly touch tlie floor, bending back In like manner. To successfully accomplish tlie latter sit on a stool before an upright piano or heavy desk, plant your knees firmly against tlie furniture until you have a good support, then slowly bend back ward with your hand pointed over your head. At first you think you will surely crack in half, so stiff are the muscles, but astonishingly soon comes the pliability, and as it Is impossible to fall your progress Is easy and rapid. This exercise If persisted In will straighten out a curved spine, but It must be done gently and with patience, because the tendons In the back are delicate and must not be coerced. The Lustrous Pearl. Pearls, as most readers know, are small bodies found either In the mother of pearl shells or those with a nacreous lining. They are formed either by a disease, by the presence of a parasite or by an effort on tlie part of tlie mol lusk to rid Itself of some foreign sub stance which lias found Its way into tlie shell. Pearls are composed of many layers of carbonate of lime with organic mat ter between and are not always pearly throughout and Invarlnbly have some small central core or nucleus. Round pearls of tine luster and color are very valuable, and their value Increases rap idly with their size. THE HANDY FOLDING RULE. An Old Standby nt the Mrcb.olo In Greater Demand Than Hear. “There are about a million different kinds of rules," said a dealer in hard ware and tools, “the rules being some thing of well nigh universal use In one fortu or another in pretty much all trades, but here’s one old standby that we sell more of now than ever, this be ing the folding rule. "There are plenty of rilles that fold, .In- commonly knowu two foot rule being a familiar example, lint this par ticular old rule that I speak of Is known by name as the folding rule. “It is made In foot long sections, in various lengths, ranging from two to ten feet and over ten, If required, but three feet, five feet, any uttuiber of feet, tlie rule, whatever Its total length, folds up completely Into a bundle a foot long. The slats are thin and fold ed up. and even a ten foot rule takes up little room. It can be quite conven iently carried in tlie pocket. "Lots of people use folding rules— plumbers, for Instance, In measuring pipes and In measuring places for pipes. In measuring a distance great er than tlie spread of tlie arms with a tape two men are required, but one man can measure with a folding rule ns far as tlie rule can reach, and with such a rule lie can, single handed, measure around corners or In the an gles of wall and ceiling or In any other bend or crevice. We sell lots of them nowadays to electricians, who use them In measuring for wiring houses, and we sell them to various other users, tlie six foot rule being the one most commonly sold. "Such rules, of whatever length, are sold by the foot, at 8 cents a foot.”— New York Sun. FLOWER AND TREE. Pruning to excess or too frequent or too long is weakening to the tree. When a branch is removed, the cut ting should lie close, leaving no stub. Tlie apple, pear, quince and thorn can lie grafted one on another, witli va rying success. Wormy fruit In the orchard is best disposed of Iq tlie sheep. They oat all without making any choice, as pigs do. Planting a few trees every fall or spring, as may lie convenient, helps materially to keep up a supply of good Unit. Tlie cherry, peach, apricot, nectarine and almond require a light, dry and warm soil, but may be grown on loose, sandy soils. Saltpeter is recommended as a quick acting fertilizer for flower beds that seem to be languishing, especially these that show small and pale leaf age. Pencil and plum trees are both less liable to diseases .when grown in tlie poultry yard. The trees will make a better growtli and at tlie same time afford shade tor tlie fowls. Geraniums that have been used fot summer bloomers will not flower again until tlie late spring months. Gerani ums for winter blooming should lie grown especially for that purpose by keeping the flower buds nipped off un til August. Love at First Sight. We talk of love at first sight, but wluit shall we say cf people who have never seen each other marrying and being not unhappy? "Courting," said an Irishman, "is like dying—sure a man must do It for himself." In some countries as, for Instance, Sweden—this is not tlie case. There Hie marriages of young people are made for them by their parents, and they only begin to court when they are wed ded. Tills sounds wrong and absurd in theory, but it often works well in prac tice. Indeed young people ask the ad vice of their parents much too little about that which is perhaps tlie most serious and important undertaking It* Ilf®—marriage, xoo many of them are like tlie young lady who said she hoped she might be cut Into ten thousand triangles if she d <1 not know more of everything than did her mother.
