They reached Paris and shortly were established as in another home, at the Hotel de Clairville. Here the kind-heart ed Count Frederic and his amiable w ife congratulated themselves upon having gathered together so happy a family par ty; and no paina were spared to con tribute to the enjoyment of each. Rose had never been in Paria before; its splen dors and gaieties were novel and pleasing to her. But every enjoyment had its chief source from the presence o f Louis; nothing waa complete if he were not at her side to share in her pleasure; and it charmed him to perceive this. “ You shall dwell here, some day, my Rose,” he said to her, with his own bright smile that the young girl loved so well. And she smiled in return; while Helen Montauban turned sway, with a dark gleam in her eyes—a darker frown on that splendid brow. “ {gome day! H ow little,” said the hsnghty woman, mentally, “ how little do they dream that the will o f another is to exercise authority then! They count confidently on their future—upon the fate that is awaiting them. Ah, if they knew what it is to be—that fate!” Now that Paris was gained, she was nearer to her purpose, and the fierce im patience she had felt subsided as - she approached to the consummation o f that purpose. Not because she quailed, or shrank from it, but that now she was able to contempla^ it more nearly—to look upon her revenge as almost accom plished, and she was content to wait yet longer. t - - t ■ S."^. ■ y — * Brava and Brainy. “ The man I marry mus| be both brave and brainy. “ When we were out sailing and up set I saved you from a watery grave.” “ That was brav^ I admit, but it was not brainy.” “ Yes, it was.

A woman wenh- into a chemist’s in London recently and asked for some ar ticle which is generally to be procured at a shop of this kind. The man of mixtures, replying to the woman’s inquiries, said: “ Madam, I do not possess what you require. I am a chemist‘pure and simple.” “ I don’t know anything about your purity; but there’s no doubt about your simplicity,” replied the disap pointed woman as she retired from the counter. jV.

ABSOLUTE SECURITY, G e n u in e Ry i Carter's ; “ Helen, you are ill, I think,” said Fran cis Egerton in alarm. She had been sitting in the same atti tude for a full hour, with her head rest ing on her hand, and those dark, calm eyes fixed on the floor. But her lips were very pale, and her face marble white. “ Yon are ill, Helen,” he repeated, gent ly, bending over to attract her attention, and laying his hand on hers. But the icy coldness o f that hand chilled and startled kim. “ Yon are not quite right, my lord,” she answered; “ for I am not ill exactly, and yet I am not well. I have merely a se vere headache.” And she pressed her hand to her brow. “ A headache—is that all? Nay, yon' are feverish, for now your cheeks are burning. L e t me ask your father to send for a physiciain. You may, perhaps, hare taken the fever Which is prevailing in the city. D ear Helen, be advised !” ^'Francis, I coumpadd yoy to remain where you are,” said Mademoiselle Mon tauban, imperatively. “ I have assured yon that I am not ill, and I do not wish either to attract attention; or to interfere with the enjoyment at others. Since you are so anxious, I shall endeavor to rest 'awhile in hay own apartment, and may regain my usual spirits by evening, in which case I Will rejoin the family. P re sent my exenses to them, if you please.” She left him and ascended to her cham ber. Night came. The rest of the family were to attend the opera. Helen Mon tauban assigned a severe headache aa her reason for not accompanying them, and remained at home. 'From the caae- msnt o f her room she looked down, and aaw the carriage roll away from the gates. An hour afterwards there emerged from the hotel a youth, wearing a broad hat slouched over his eyes and a cloak, which he drew about him, half concealing his face with its folds. H e looked back with » hurried, nervous glance as he gained the portal. “ No one hal seen me,” he mattered, “ and the rest is sufficiently easy.” A t a rapid pace he hastened on. I t was dark; but the lamps in the streets poured a flood o f light along his way ac he proceeded, and crowds o f pedestrians passed him and the way was thronged with carriages and vehicles o f every de scription. H e only drew hjs hat further over his eyes, arranged thé folds o f the cloak so as more fully to hide hia- fea tures, and hurried along, passing from one street to another, and never looking •t a single face in all the jostling multi tude about him. A t length, in a retired street, he reach ed the door o f a building, half shop, half dwelling; at this door he knocked. A domestic appeared, bearing ft light, which she held up to survey the features of the youth; but he shrunk further back into the shadow, and gathered the folds o f the cloak more closely about htis face as he asked, in a low and somewhat hoarse voice: “ Is the alchemist at home?” “ H e is, monsieur. W ill you come in?” The youth entered, the woman looking at him with a half-curious glance .for an instant; but then muttering tp herself, “ W ell—well, I need not trouble my head; he is not the first mask that has come hither,” she added aloud: “ Thia way, monsieur; yon will find my master in here,” and led the way through the room into which he had entered from the street to a back one, opening from the first. H ere was an old man, bent half double, aeated at a table, and engaged in poring over a rich and curious volume o f an tique appearance. About the apartment were arranged, in different places, vari ons stuffed figures of animals, and aome o f them reptiles so hideous aa to tend an involuntary shiver over the boy as he be h eld them. Strange and horrible forms were everywhere about him; he turned Little Liver Pills.
