5 CHAPTER Ilr-(Contlnucd).
BUT the person who dletlntmlahed him
self from everybody elM by -some
pameless attraction, was a man perhaps
forty years old, who sat In a high-backed
settee at a table near the fire. lie was
erect and thin as a lath. Ions-faced,
square browed and pale. Ills sandy hair
stood up like the bristles of a brush.
Carefully dressed, with a BWord at his
side as many of the other men had he
filled my idea of a soldier; and I was
not surprised to hear his friends sitting
opposite call him General Jackson.
An Inkstand, a quill and lotno paper
were placed before him, but he pushed
them aside with his glass of toddy to lift
one long forefinger and emphasize his
talk, lie had a resonant. Impressive
voice, with a manner gentle and per
suasive, like a woman's; and he was
speaking of Aaron Burr, the man whose
duel hod made such a noise in the news
papers "I disagree with you, Mr. Campbell.
You are prejudiced against 11 r. Burr on
account of his late unfortunate affair.
Even In that cose 1 maintain every man
has a right to honor and satisfaction. But
ha loves the Spanish on our southwest
ern border no better than I do and you
know how I love the Bpanlshl"
The other man laughed, lounging
against the table.
"Tou can't believe anything HI of Aaron
Burr, General."
I might have given attention to what
they were saying, since here were men
from Washington, the very fountain of
government, If Doctor Chantry had not
made me uneasy. He choso the table at
which they were sitting and placed him
seld in the scat nearest the fire, with tho
utmost nicety about his own comfort. He
wiped his horn spectacles, and produced
bis own ink and quill and memorandum
from a breast pocket. I had begged the
doctor to keep strict account between us,
that I might pay back from my pension
whatever he spent on me, and with tine
splder-IIke characters he was proceeding
to debit me wth the etago fare, when
another quill barred his entrance to his
luk-horn.
He took off his spectacles' and glared, j
pink-eyed, at the genial gentleman with
sandy unrlght hair,
Sir,'' he rlcd. "that Is my Ink!"
General Jackson, absorbed In talk, did
not notice Doctor Chantry, who half
arose and shouted directly at his eart-
Sir, that Is my Inkl
"He knocked the Interloping quill In the
direction of Its owner.
The genial sandy gentleman changed
countenance in a way to astonish be
Mders. "Have I disputed It. slr7
"Ho, sir; but you have dipped Into It
without asking leave."
"By Ood, air; what Is a np'ny-blt'a
worth of Ink?"
"But It's mine, sir!"
"I see, sir; you're, a Yankee, slrl"
"I'm not, sir, I'm English the finest
lce In the world I"
General Jackson looked him up and
down, as they rose fronting each other,
and filled the atr with dazzling words.
"I should judge so, sir, by the specimen
I see before met"
Doctor Chantry was like a fighting
cock, and It was plainly his age which
kept the other from striking him. He
was beginning our Journey well, but I
felt bound to Intercept whatever fell upon
him, and stood between them. The other
men at the table rose with General Jack
son. "Gentlemen." I pleaded with the best
words I could command In the language,
"do not forget your dignity and disturb
the peace of this house for a bottle of
ink!"
TJmi quarrel was ridiculous, and the
ttouthnnters laughed.
aera Jackson himself again changed
annul w slice, and gave me, I do not
kit wfcy, a smile that must have been
rejected from the face of a woman he
4rwl. But my poor master showed the
bulldog, and, taking him by the arm
and the cottar I toddled him away from
that tabto to a dark, entry, where I held
hiit; without any admonition iwve a sua
Ula4 grip. He became like a child,
weening and trembling, and declaring
that everybody was In league against
him. Argument U wasted on people
having such ianrmlty of temper. When
h was well cooled I put him in an arm
ihafr by a lire In the ladles' parlor and
he was soon very meek and tractable,
watching (he creatures he so admired,

shrewishness of an elephant. I had not
at that time seen an elephant. When I
did see one. however, the shifting of Its
eyes brought back the memory of Doctor
Chantry when I had him nt bay by tho
fire.
"You are not going to get away from
mc," he responded. "If you are tired
of It, so am I. Otherwise, we proceed."
"If you pick quarrels with soldiers and
duelists at every step, what are we to
do?"
"I picked no quarrel. It Is my luck.
Every one la against mo!" Ho hung his
head In such a dejected manner that I
felt ashamed of brining his temperament
to account, and told him I was certain
no horm would come of It,
"I am not genial," Doctor Chantry
owned; "I wish I were. Now you aro
Rental, Lazarre. People take to you.
You attract them. But whatever I am,
you are obliged to have my company;
ou cannot get along without me. You
havo no experience and no money. I
have experience and a few pounds; not
enough to retire Into the country upon,
In England, but enough to buy a little
food for the present."
I thought I could get along better
without tho experience, and even tho
few pounds, than with him as an en
cumbrance, though I could not bring my
self to the cruelty of telling him so. For
there Is in me a fatal softness which no
man can have and overbear othern In
this world. It constrains me to make
the other man's cause my own, though
he bo at war with my own Interests.
Therefore, I was at the mercy of
Skenedonk also. The Indian appeared In
the doorway and watched me. I knew
he thought there was to bo trouble with
the gentleman from Washington, and I
went to him to ease his mind.
Skenedonk had nothing to say, how
ever, and made me a sign to follow him.
Ac we passed through the taproom Gen
eral Jackson gave me another pleasant
look. He had resumed his conversation
and his own Ink 'bottle as If he had
never been interrupted.
The Indian led me upstairs to one of
the chambers, and opened the door.
In the room was Louis Philippe, and
when we were shut alone together, he
embraced me and kissed me as I did not
know men embraced and kissed.
"Do you know Skenedonk?" I ex
claimed. "If you mean the Indian who brought
you at my order, he was my guide from
Montreal."
"But he was not with you at th
potter's camp."
"Yes, he was In the hut, wrapped In
his blanket, and after you drove the
door In he heard nil that was said.
Lazarro" Louis Philippe took my face In
his hands "mak ea clean breast of It."
We sat down, and I told him without
being questioned what I was going to do.
He gravely considered.
"I saw you enter the house, and had
a suspicion of your undertaking. It Is
the worst venture you. could possibly
make at this time. We will begin with
my family. Any belief In you Into which
I may have been betrayed Is no guaranty
of Monsieur's belief. You understand."
said Louis Philllpe. "that Monsieur stands
next to the throne if there Is no dauphin,
or an Idiot dauphin?"
I said I understood.
"Monsieur is not a bad man. But
Bellenger, who took charge of the
dauphin, has In some manner and for
some reason, provided himself with a
substitute, nnd he utterly denies you.
Further; supposing that you nre the heir
of France, restored to your family and
proclaimed of what use Is It to present
yourself before the French people now?
They are besotted with this Napoleon.
The Empire seems to them a far greater
thing than any legitimate monarchy. Of
what use, do I say? It would be a posi
tive danger for you to appear In Franco
at this time. Napoleon has proscribed
every Bourbon. Any prince caught allvo
In France will be put to death. Do you
know what he did last year to the Duke
d'Enghein? He sent Into Germany for
the duke, who had never harmed him,
never conspired against him had dono
nothing. In fact, except live an In
nocent life away from the seat of
Napoleon's power.'The duke was brought
to Paris under guard and put In the
dungeons of Vlncennes. He demanded to
see Bonaparte. Bonaparte would not see
him. He was tried by night, his grave
already dug in the castle ditch. That
lovely young fellow ho was scarcely over
thirty was taken out to the ditch and
shot like a dog!"
I stood up with my hands clenched
"Sit down." said Louis Philllpe. "Thero
is no room in the world at this time for
anybody but that Jealous monster,"
"He shall not tie me here," I said.
"You Intend to go?"
"I Intend to go."
"This Bonaparte," said Louis Philllpe.
"has his troubles. His brother jerom,
has married an American in Baltimore
A fine' explosion that will make when It
reaches his ears. Where aro you going
to land, Lazarre?"
I aald that must depend on the ship
I took.
"And what are you going to do when
you land?"
I said I would think that out later.
Then the spirit being upon me. I burst
bounds and told him impetuously that I
was going to leam what the world held
for me. Without means, without friends,
or power or prospects, or certainty of
any good results Impudent-reckless ut
terly rash-"I am going," j cried, "bet

"There I something about you which
Inspires love, my boy," said Louis Phil
ippe; and I heard him with astonish
mtnt, "Perhaps It comes from the
mother; she was a wtcher of all man
kind." " cannot understand why any one
should love so ignorant a creature, but

cruelest part of my lot seemed the sep
aration from those that belonged to me.
Separation from what Is our own ought
not to bo Imposed upon us even by God
Himself!"
"What!" said Louis rhllippe, "Is ho
following a woman!"
My face burned, and probably went
white, for I felt tho blood go back on
my heart. He took my hand and stroked
It.
"Don't chain yourself behind that
chariot. Walt a little while for your
good star to rise. I wish I had money.
I wish I could bo of use to you In Frnncc.
I wish I stood nearer to Monsieur, for
your take. Every ono must love this
bold pure face. It bears some resem
blance to Madame Itoyal. The elster of
the dauphin Is a good girl, not many
jears yur senior. Much dominated by
her uncles, but a royal duchess. It Is
the fashion now to laugh at, chivalry.
You are tho most foolish examplo of It
I ever saw! It Is like seeing a knight
without horse, armor or puree, set out
to win an equipment before ho pursue?
his quest! Yet I lovo you for It, my
boy!"
"It would be well for me If I had more
friends like you."
"Why, I can be of no use! I cannot go
back to France at this time, and If I
could, what is my Influence, there? I
must wander nround In foreign parts, a
private gentleman eking out my living
by some kind ol Industry. What nre
ou Going to do with the fretful old fel
low you have with ou?"
I groaned and laughed.
"Carry him on my back. Thero Is no
getting rid of him. He la following me
to France. He Is my lesson-master."
"How will you support him?"
"He Is supporting mo at prtsmt. But
I would rather take my chnnces alone."
"You have another follower," eajd
Louis Philippe. "Your Indian has been
in France, and after hearing our talk
at the camp he foresaw yoj might be
moved to this folly, and told me ho In

appetite. I snt by Louis Philippe, whoso
quality was known only to myself, with
Doctor Chantry on the other side fret
ting for tho attendnnco to which Jean
had used him.
My master was so tired that I put him
enrly to bed; and then sat talking nearly
all night with the Krnclous gentleman to
whom I felt bound by gratltudo nnd by
Mood.
CHAPTEIt III
DIEPPE, high nnd glaring white above
the water, will always symbolize to
mo the gate of France. The nobility of
that view remained In my thoughts when
half tho distance to Paris was traversed.
I could shut my eyes and sco It as I
lay on the straw In a post-houso stable.
A square hole In tho front of the grenler
gae upon the landscape. Even respec
tnblo houses In that part of the country
were then built with few or no windows;
but delicious masses of grayncss they
were, roofed with thick and overhanging
thatch.
"The stables of France are nothing but
covered dunghills." Doctor Chantry grum
bled; so when I crept with the Indian to
lodgings over the cattle, ono of the beds
In tho house was hired for the gouty mas
ter. Even nt inns there were two or
three beds In a room whero they set us
to dine.
"An English Inn-keeper would throw
their furniture Into the fire!" he cried
In a language fortunately not understood.
"But we have two good rooms on the
ground floor, nnd another for Skenedonk,"
I sometimes remonstrated with him, "at
three shillings and six-pence a day, In
your money.
You would not see nny man, let his
rank bo what It may," Doctor Chantry
retorted, "dining in ms bedroom in Eng
land. And look at these walls! papered
with two or three inks of paper, the bare
spots hung with tapestry moth-eaten nnd
filled with spiders! And what hove we
for table? a board laid on cross-bars!
And the oaken chairs are rush-bottomed,
and so straight tho backs are a persecu
tion! The door hinges creak In these inns,
tne wind mows through "
So his complaints went on, for there
necr was a man who got so much out
of small miseries. Skenedonk and I must
havo failed to see all In our travels that
he put beforo us. For we were full of en
joyment nnd wonder; at tho country peo
ple, wooden snod, tne women b caps and
Ions cloaks; at the quiet fair roads which
multiplied themselves until we often
paused enchanted In a fairy world of
sameness; at market towns, where foun
tains In the squares were often older than
America, the country out of which we
arrived. '
Skenedonk heard without shifting a
muscle all Doctor Chantry's grievances:
and I told him wo ought to cherish them,
for they were views of life we 'could not
take ourselves. Few people aro made so
delicately that they lose color and rail
at tho sight of raw tripe brought In by
a proud hostess to show her resources
for dinner; or at a chicken coming upon
the table with Its head tucked beneath
Its wing.
"We are fed with poulet, poulet, noth
ing but poulet," said Doctor Chantry,
"until the poulets themselves aro
ashamed to look us In the face!"
We fared well. Indeed, and the wine
was good, and my master said he must
sustain himself on It though it proved
his death. He could not march as Skene
donk nnd I regularly marched. We hired
a cart to lift him nnd our knapsacks
from village to village, with a driver who
knew tho road to Paris. When the dis
tances were long we sometimes mounted
besldo him. I noticed that the soil of
this country had not the chalk look of
other lands which I afterwards saw to
tho east and north; but Napoleon was al
ready making good tho ancient thorough
fores. When my master was on shipboard he
enjoyed the sea oven less than the free
atr of these broad stretches; for while he
could cast nn eyo about and approve of
something under tho sky perhaps a
church steeple, or the color of a thatch
which filled mo with Joy-he could not
approve of anything aboard a ship. In
deed, it was pity to have no delight in
cleaving the water, and In the far-off
spouting of whales, to say nothing of a
living world that rides in undulations.
For my part, I loved even tho creaking
of n ship, and the uncertainty of ever
coming to port, and the anxiety lest a
black flag should show above every sail
wo passed. The slow progress of man
from point to point in his experience,
w..ij ii Bun-clinics enrages, on the whole
Interests me; and the monotony of a
voyage has a sweetness like the mo
notony of daily bread.
I looked out of the grenler window
upon the high road, and upon the June
sun in the act of setting; for we had
supped and gone early to rest after a
hard day. Post horses were stamping
underneath, all ready for some noble
count who Intended to make another
Btago of his journey before nightfall.
Small obtrusive cares, such as the de
slro that my shoes should last well Into
Paris, mingled with Joy In the smell of
tho earth at sunset, and the looking for
ward to seeing Madame de Ferrler again
I wrapped myself every night in the con
viction that I should see her. and more
freely than I had ever seen her In
America.
There was n noise of horses galloping,
and the expected noble count arrived'
being no other than De Chaumont with
his post coaches. He stepped out of the
first, and Ernestine 'stepped out of the
second, carrying Paul. HhVtook him to
his mother. The door flew open, and tho
woman I adored received her child and
walked back and forth with him. An
nabel leaned out while the horses were
changed. I saw Miss Chantry, and my
heart mlsgavo me, remembering her
brother's prolonged lament at separation
from her.
Ho was, I trusted, already shut Into
one of those publio beds which are like
cupboards: for the day had begun for us
at i of the morning. But if , chose
to show himself, and fall upon De Chau
mont for luxurious conveyance to Paris
I was determined that Skenedonk and i
should net appear

crack of tho cupboard bed with his heart
In his mouth. .
Tho pause was a very short one, for
horses are soon changed. Madamo do
Ferrler threw n searching eye over tho
landscape. It was a mercy she did not
sco tho holo In the grenler, through, which
I devoured her, daring for tho first tlmo
to call her secretly Eagle tho name
that Do Chaumont used with common
freedom! Now how strange Is this that
one woman should be to a man the sum
of things! And whnt wns her charm I
could not tell, for I began to understand
there were many beautiful women In tho
world, of all favors, and shapely, per
haps, as the ono of my love. Only her I
found drawing the soul out of my body;
and none of the others did moro than
please the cyo like pictures.
Tho carriages wero gono with tho sun,
and it was no wonder all fell gray over
the world.
Do Chaumont had sailed behind us and
ho would be In Parts long beforo us.
X had first felt somo uneasiness and I
dread of being arrested on our Journey,
though our Breton captain who was a
man of gold that I would travel far to
see this day. If I could, even beneath tho
Atlantic, whero ho nnd his ship now float
obtained for us at Dieppe, on his own
pledge, a kind of substltuto for passports.
Wo wero a marked party by reason of
the doctor's lameness nnd Skenedonk's
appearance. The Oneida, during his for
mer sojourn In France, had been encour
aged to preserve the novelty of his In
dian dress. As I had nothing to glvo him
In Its place. It did not become mo to find
fault. And he would havo been more
conspicuous with a cocked hat on hla
bare red scalp and knee breeches instead
of buckskins. Peasants ran out to look
at him and In return we looked at them
with a good will.

THE DAILY STORY
Grandma's Diamond Ring
At ono end of a long bench In tho
sitting room ot the Union depot in the
city Bat Mrs. Gordon Almes and her
sister. Miss Alllo Bennett, waiting for
a train to take them 'to the former's
country home.
At the other end of tho bench sat
Robert Chllders, a young man who waa
waiting for tho same train to bo called.
He was thero first, and ho glanced at
the ladles as they sat down. They glanced
nt htm as they took seats.
Nobody was Injured in the slightest by
this glancing. Had tho prim old maid
who Bat on the seat opposite with' stiff
back and compressed lips predicted that
something would happen from all this, no
one would have given her credit for being
a prophet
By nnd by the two ladles took notice
of a baby In Its mother's arms a baby
crowing and laughing. The young man
took notlco that they took notice. Then
tho ladles took notice that he took a
small pasteboard box from his pocket.
He was not about to take a mercury
pill and throw up his hands and have
a calt sent In for the ambulance.
He was not a drummer who, under the
instructions of a doctor, must tako a pill
of somo sort from that box every few
minutes for the next 2t hours, or find
himself a mental and physical wreck.
The ladles saw him smile as he looked
at the contents of the box. They heard
him chuckle as he restored It to his
pocket. But did he restore it? Ho did
not As he rose to go out and ask the
president of tho road what in Texas ailed
his old train, the announcer's voice was
heard, nnd 60 people rose at once.
It was then that the box came rolling
down along tho seat to Miss Allle.
"Why, It's his box!" she exclaimed as
she picked It up.
"Bring It along," replied the Bister.
The Idea waa that they might see tho
young man at tho train and hand him tho
box. but, of course, they didn't see him.
They looked around for him in the car
In which they took their seats, but he
was not among the passengers.
"What shall we do with It?" asked
Miss Allle.
"Thata according to the contents," was
the reply. "Open the box."
"Maybe they are troches for hoarse
ness. He looked hoarse."
"And maybe It's something else," said
the elder Bister,
They both gasped. On a bed of pink
cotton reposed a five-stone diamond ring.
"My Btaral" from the elder.
"Je-ru-shal" from th ,.o.
"Well" said Mrs. Almes, as she held
up the Jewel, "we are In for trouble."
"But how?"
"Wo must go to the bother of adver
tising and of watching the papers to see
course'0"' Mft UeP the rlne- ot
"N-o-o, but"
"That young man will make a very
careless husband."
"Why?"
h'ne?lUM.ha 0UBht t0 hav made sure
that he returned the box to his pocket
?" bnca.u". he 0UBh have heard It
fall. This la doubtless an engagement
ring, and what will his fiancee say when
he appears without it!"

"No." ' T
"Then tak It."
Miss Alllo advertised tho ring. Neither
the young man nor any one else caml
forward to xialm It Tho nearest Tt
was an oldl.han with a .tiff knee.

"No. sir."
"It wasn't a package with e. safety
razor in it?"
'"No, sir."
"A safety razor to shave safely with?"
"No, sir."
"Just a diamond ring?"
"Just that sir,"
"Well, I don't know what In Sam Hill
I am going to do without that razor. My
wlfo Bays I can shave with tho butcher
knife, but what docs a woman know
about shaving? I think, young lady, you
ought to have mado that advertisement
plainer."
"Didn't it say a diamond ring?" waa
asked.
"Yes. it did, but It didn't say not n
safety razor, and I came down hero witlf
high hopes, and am out 45 centb railroad
fare."
"It's too bad."
"So tho world goes. Let a man get a
stiff kneo and everybody throws him
down. I never shall sco that safety razor
again In this hnrd world."
When a week had passed and thero had
been no call for the ring Miss Allle began
to hope that sho might meet tho losei
faco to face. She was suro ho had taken
her tiatn that day, nnd lived somewhere
along tho line, and she found excuses for
going to tho city quite often and return
ing by the same train sho had on that
momentous day. e
Thero were other young men who lookeo?
as If they might have lost nickels and
pocket knives and suspender buttons, but
he of tho diamond ring had vanished off
tho face of the earth. When returning,
after her third or fourth trip, Miss Allle
said to herself;
"Well, ho can Just go to pot, whoever
ho Is! A young man who doesn't read
tho 'Lost and Found' advertisements In
the dally papers Is a slow coach, any
way." And five minutes later: "No, I don't
pity the girl a single bit She hadn't
ought to be engaged to such a man. Ho
must have told her that he lost the ring;
but why didn't she tell him to hustle
around nnd find It or she would never
marry him?"
And onco more: "But maybo when he
told her she Hew mad and gave him the
bounce then and there, and ho has lost
all Interest In glrla and engagement rings.
No matter how It is, I'm not going to
worry nny more about the old ring."
And two weeks later she had almost
forgotten that sho was carrying It around
In her purse, when she and her sister
Btarted out one morning In the runabout.
Miss Allle acted as driver. Sho knew
all about It and that was the reason she
ran over a hog In the road. Of course,
tha hog rose up, and of course the ve
hicle tipped over on Its side.
It cannot bo said that of course Mrs.
Almes received a broken arm, while Miss
Allle escaped with a bruise or two, but
such was the fact. Arid while they wero
lamenting and weeping who of all the
ninety-three million people of the United
States should come along In his auto but
tho loser of the diamond ring!
"I am sorry to Bee you in trouble," he
said, and ho got busy at once.
If Gilbert Denlson had been slothful
about the ring he made up for It now
that thero was an accident to straighten
out Tho first thing was to bind up the
hurt of the sufferer; the next to inspect
the capsized runabout.
"It may not havo suffered any damage
at all," said tho young man, "but we
will leave It alone. You will both come p
the village with mc, and wo will have
that broken arm set, Then I will take
you homo and seo that the runabout gets
there all right"
"But It we could get word to Mr. Almes
" beenn MIbb Allle.
"Wo mustn't lose a minute seeing a
doctor," intt-rrupted Mr. Denlson.
And ho fairly burned up the dust of
tho road reaching the village. A doctor
was fortunately found at once, and after
a bit tho bones were set and tho splint3
In place.
Miss Allle meant to tell about the ring
on tho way home, but her sister required
all her nttcntlon. It was not until tho
latter was In bed and tho runabout had
been brought home that she found op
portunity to say to Mr. Denlson: "I hope
your losing the ring didn't break the en
gagement," "ning? Engagement?" ho queried.
"Yes. The five-stone diamond ring you
lost in tho depot In tho city a few weeks
ago. Sister and I found it and advertised
tho fact, but you never answered."
Mr. Denlson leaned against a post on
the veranda and laughed until he thought
the girl might take offense, and then he
sobered up and aald: "I bought that
diamond ring at Coney Island for 15
cental I took It home to grandma, and,
Just for a Joke, I told her the stones
oTne,Tln,r, 8hB knoc!ted ono them
out, and I had a new piece of glass set
In and was carrying it home. I nev.
