OPTIMISM.
There's a word of gentle meaning,
"Afterwhlle."
It's the sesame of dreaming,
"Afterwhlle."
When our fortunes halt and vary.
It's the watchword of the fairy.
From hope's sweet vocabulary,
"Afterwhlle."
"We will hear no sounds of battle,
"Afterwhlle."
"We will miss the cannon's rattle,
"Afterwhlle."
Men will put away the saber
And together tiey will labor
Kach to help a helping neighbor,
"Afterwhlle."
This old earth will cease Its sorrow,
"Afterwhlle."
There will dawn a peaceful morrow,
"Afterwhlle."
When all grief Is but tradition,
Olvtng ('tis Its rightful mission).
Contrast to life's best condition,
"Afterwhlle."

CHAPTE R XIX. —CONTI.NLED.
At last we reached More's, and as we
'entered the hall I could not help won
dering if the good Parisians knew that
their king was playing at primero in an
■ordinary of the city, and would be later
on, perhaps, pursued by the watch.
More, whom 1 had not seen since my
affair with d'Ayen, was in the hall, and
at a word fr<Mn de Belin, conducted us
Jhimself up the stairway, though look
ing a.skanee at me. We at length gained
a long corridor at the beginning of
which i'antin was left. Through the
closed doors of a private dining-room
a.t the end of this we could hear shouts
■of laughter. "His majesty and M.de
'•Cv'ifcry arrived scarce a half hour ago,"
whispered More as we approached the
door.
"We will not trouble you further," re
plied the compte; "it is the rule at
Ahese little parties to enter unan
nounced." With these words he put
his hand to the door, and went in, I fol
lowing at his heels. There were at
least ten or a dozen men in the room
standing round a table, at which sat
the King engaged at play with M.de
jßassompierre. Neither the king nor
2'iassonipierre, who seemed absorbed
In the game, took the least notice of our
entrance, nor did they seem in the
least disturbed by the constant laugh
ter and converse that went on. The
others, however, stopped, and then
: ;>urst out in joyous greetings of de
Delin, and very haughty glances at me.
hi the meantime the king played on,
VJikiug no notice of anyone, his beaked
/jose dropping lower toward his chin as
he lost one rouleau after another to
2lo.ssoin pie rre.
"Ventre St. Oris!" he exclaimed at
"Vast, "was ever such luck? At this rate
I shall not have a shirt on my back in
Jbalf en hour."
'l*" the marshal were only here," said
Fully, "we could start off at once, sire.
Instead of risking any more. I see de
Belin lias brought our guide."
"YAs; where is Biron? I am sick of
this." And the king, who was 3 bad
loser, rose from his seat impatiently, at
the same time forgetting to hand over
the last rouleau of pistoles he had lost
to Bassompierre, and thrusting them
back into his pocket with au absent
gesture.
As if in answer to his question, the
door opened, admitting the slight fig
ure and handsome face of de Gie.
"Where is the marshal? Where is Bi
ron?" asked ten voices in a breath.
"Yes, M.de Gie," putin the king,
"where is Biron?"
"Sire, the marshal Is indisposed. lie
has begged me to present his excuses
and to say he is too ill to come to-night,"
and as he spoke I saw de Gie's jeweled
fingers trembling, and his cheek had
lost all color.
"This is sorry news to spoil a gay
evening," said the king; and the master
general, pulling a comfit box from his
vest pocket, toyed with it in his hand as
he followed. "Biron must be ill indeed
to stay away, sire. What does your maj
esty think? Shall we begin our ram
bles by calling on monseigneur?"
"The very thing, grand master; we
will start at once."
"But, sire, the marshal ia too ill to
see anyone, even your majesty," said de
Gie, desperately, and with whitening
lips.
I thought I heard de Vltry mutter
"Traitor," under his thick mustache,
but the guardsman parried my glance
with an unconcerned look. There was
a silence of a half a minute at de Gie's
speech, and the king reddened to his
forehead.
"If it is as you say, M. le Vicomple, I
know the marshal too well not to feel
sure that there are two persons whom
he would see were he dying —which God
forbid'—and one of the two is his king.
Grand master, we will go, but"—and his
voice took a tone of sharp command,
and his eye rested first on de Gie and
then on the figure of a tall cavalier, at
whose throat Hashed the jewel of the St.
Esprit—"but I must first ask M.de Vit
ry to do his duty."
As for me, I was dumb with astonish
ment, and half the faces around me
were filled with amaze. Then de Vit
ry's voh>e broke the stillness.
"My lord of Epernon, your sword —
and you, too, M. le Vieompte.'
The duke slipped off his rapier with
a sarcastic smile and handed the
weapon to the captain of the guard;
but we could hear the clicking of the
buckles as de Gie's trembling fingers
tried in vain to unclasp his belt. So
agitated was he that de Vitry had to
assist him in his task before it was ac-
I complished.
The king spoke again in the same
grating tones:
"M.de Bassompierre and you, de Luy
nes, I leave the prisoners in your
charge. In the meantime, messieurs,
we will slightly change our plans. 1
shall not go myself to the marshal's
houses but I depute you, grand master,
and these gentlemen here, all except
de Vitry, who conies with me, to repair
there in my name. Shall M.de Biron
not be able to see you, you will come
to me—the grand master knows where."
"You will be careful, sire," said Sully.
"Mordieul Y'es—go, gentlemen."
I was about to follow tiie others, but
Belin caught me by the arm as he
passed out. "Stay where you are," he
whispered, and then he waited until the
footsteps died away along the corridor,
the king standing with his brows bent
and muttering to himself:
"If it were not true —if it were not
true."
Suddenly he roused l»imself. "Come,
de Vitry—my mask and cloak —tnd you,
too, sir," he said, turning on me with a
harsh glance. lie put on his mask, drew
the collar of his roquelaure up to his
cars, and in a moment I recognized the
silent stranger who had ridden off so
abruptly from under the portico of St.
Merri. I could not repress my start of
surprise, and I thought [ caught a
strange glance in de Vitry's eyes, but
the king's face was impassive as stone.
"We go out by the private stair, sire;
d'Aubusson is there with the horses."
With these words he lifted the tapestry
of the wall and touched a door. It
swung back of its own accord, and the
king stepped forward, the captain of the
guard and myself on his heels. When
we gained the little street at 10" back
of More's we saw there three mounted
men with three led horses.
De Vitry adjusted the king's stirrup,
who sprang into the saddle in silence,
and then motioning me to do likewise,
mounted himself.
"Monsieur," said the king to me, rein
ing in his restive horse, "you will lead
us straight to your lodging, next to the
Toison d'Or."
"Yes, sire," I made answer; "but it
will be necessary to leave the horses
by St. Martin's, as their presence near
the Toison d'Or might arouse curiosity
and suspicion."
"I understand, monsieur, have the
goodness to lead on."
At St. Martin's we dismounted. There
was a whispered word between the lieu
tenant and de Vitry, and then the king,
de Vltry and myself pressed forward on
foot, leaving d'Aubosson and the troop
ers with the horses. It would take too
long, if indeed I have the power, to de
scribe the tumult in my mind as we
wound in and out of the cross streets
and by lanes toward the Toison d'Or.
At last we came to the jaws of the blind
passage, and I whispered to de Vitry
that we were there. The king turned to
de Vitry and asked:
"Are you sure the signals are under
stood, de Vitry?"
"Yes, sire."
There was no other word spoken, and
keeping on the off side of the road, to
avoid passing immediately before the
! door of the Toison d'Or, where it was
! possible a guard might be set, we went
j onward toward my lodging. Favored
I by the mist which still hung over the
| passage, we got through without acci
| dent; but I perceived that not a light
glimmered from the face of Babette's

hot:se. though T could bear the bolts of
the entrance door being drawn, as if
some one had entered a moment or so
before we hail conie up. My own lodg
ing was, however, different, and
through the glaze of the window we
could see the sickly glare of the lamp
In the shop where monsieur and mad
ame were no doubt discussing the busi
ness of the day.
"We must quiet my landlord and his
wife," I whispered to Vitry as we came
up to the door.
"Very well," he said, and then I
knocked.
The fence, who was alone, himself
opened the door. "Ah, captain," he
exclaimed, "we thought you were lost;
but I see you have friends." He said
no more, for I seized his throat with a
grip of iron, whilst de Vitry laced him
up with his own belt. An improvised
gag put a stop to all outcry, and inn
trice he was lying like a log amongst
his own stolen wares.
"So far so good. De Vitry, you will
stay here. At the first sound of the
grand master's whistle you will answer
it, and they will know what to do. I
have something' to say to M. d'Auriac.
Take me to your room, sir."
I bowed, and, lighting a taper that
stood in a holder of molded brass —a
prize that bad doubtless come to my
landlord through one of his clients—led
the way up the rickety stairs, and,
stopping at the door of my "chamber,
opened it to let the king pass. For an
instant he hesitated, fixing his keen and
searching eyes on me —eyes that flashed
and sparkled beneath the mask that
covered half his features, and then
spoke:
"M. d'Auriac, are you still an enemy
of your king?"
I could make no answer. T did not
know what to say —and stood, candle in
hand, in silence. Then Henry laughed
shortly and stepped into the room, and
shut the door as I followed, and
turned up the lamp on my table. Then,
facing the king, I said: "Sire, I await
your orders."
lie had flung off his cloak and mask,
and was leaning against the wardrobe,
one hand on the hilt of his sword, and
at my words be spoke slowly: "I de
sire to see this room in the Toison d'Or,
and to look upon the assembly that has
met there with my own eyes."
"Now, sire!"
"Yes, now."
"Your majesty, it is not now possi
ble!"
"Ventre St. Grls—not possible!"
"Permit me, sire—the only way is by
this window. If your majesty will step
here, you will see the risk of it. I will
go and see if they have met; but I con
jure you not to make the attempt. The
slightest accident would be fatal."
"Do you think I have never scaled a
rock before," he said craning out of
the window. "Am I a child, M. d'Auriac,
or mllletonnerrcs! Because my beard
Is gray, am I in my dotage? I will go,
sir—and thank God that for this mo
ment I can drop the king and be a sim
ple knight. You can stay behind, mon
sieur, if you like. Igo to test the truth
of your words."
"Your majesty might save yourself
the trouble. I again entreat you—your
life belongs to France."
"I know that," he interrupted
haughtily, "no more prating, please—
will you go first, or shall I?"
Ther was no answer to this. It
flashed on me to call to de Vitry for
aid to stop the king; but one look at
those resolute features before me con
vinced me that such a course would be
useless. I lowered the and then
testing the ends of the ladder again
and again, made the ascent as before.
Leaning through the embrasure I saw
the dark figure of the king already
holding onto the ladder, and he fol
lowed me as agile as a cat. Making a
long arm I seized him by the shoulder,
and with this assistance he clambered
over the parapet and' lay beside me.
One by one we stole up to the sky
light, and the king, raising himself,
glanced in, my eyes following over his
shoulders. For full five minutes we
were there, hearing every word, seeing
eifery soul. And then the king bent
down softly, and, laying a hand on my
shoulder, motioned me back. It was
not until we reached the parapet that
he said anything, and it was as if he
were muttering a prayer to himself.
When we got back I helped hiin to
dress. He did not, however, resume his
roquelaure or hat, but stood playing
with the hilt of his sword, letting his
eye run backward and forward over the
vacant space in my room. At last he
turned to me.
"Monsieur, you have not answered a
question I put you one evening here."
"Sire," I answered boldly, "is it my
fault?"
He began to pull at his mustache,
keeping his eyes to the groundand say
ing to himself: "Sully will not be here
for a little, there is time." As for me, I
took my courage in both hands and
waited. So a half minute must have
passed before he spoke again.
"Monsieur, if a gentleman has
wronged another there is only one
course open. There is room enough here
—take your sword and your place."
"I—1," I stammered. "Your majesty,
I do not understand."
"I never heard that M.de Chevalier
was dense on these matters. Come, sir,
time presses; your place."
"May my hand wither if I do," I burst
out; "'I will never stand so before the
king."
"Not before the king, monsieur, but
before a man who considers himself a
little wronged, too. What! Isd'Auriac
so high that lie cannot stoop to cross a
blade with plain Ilenry de Bourbon?"
And then it was as if God himself took
the scales from my eyes, and I fell on
my knees before my king.
lie raised me gently. "Monsieur, 1
thank you; it is much for a king to have
gained a friend, and hark! If lam not
mistaken here is de Vitry."

Arc.lablshop Tells How lie
Once Aided a Hurglar to ICeforin.
Archbishop Corrigan, speaking at
New York on the possibilities in prison
reform work, related a bit of personal
history which had long remained a
secret in his own breast.
It was at a meeting in the home of
Mrs. Westervclt to form plans to aid
Mrs. Foster, the "Tombs angel," in her
work. Archbishop Corrigan took an
active interest in the proceeding's, and
after Mrs. Foster had told how her self
imposed task had often been made
lighter by the deed's of those she
helped, he spoke of an experience he
once had with one just out from prison.
"It was years ago," the archbishop
said, "that a man who had just been
released came to me and asked that
I supply him with money to get him to
San Francisco, where he promised to
start life afresh. 'What claims have you
on me,* I asked, 'that I should do this?'
My strange visitor hesitated and then
said: 'I entered your room one night
with evil in my heart. You were asleep
and my task was easy. I had taken
your watch —I can even now tell the
number of it —when something caused
me to make a closer inspection of the
room, an.d I saw who you were. I put
back what I had taken and departed as
empty-handed as I came.'
"The man's story decided me," the
archbishop continued, "and I gave him
SSOO. He did as he had promised, went
far away and started a new life. With
in a year I received SIOO from him.
Every year since I have received from
the same penitent a similar sum. The
original debt lias long «ince been re
paid."

"Don't you want to be a better man?" de
manded the revivalist. "Well, it's like this,

a better man, of course, but you see I jjain't
