CHAPTER II Continued.
For before the duke died, after he
Jiad refused the friendship of the em
peror and had confronted his hostility,
and had returned with his wife arid
child and the people of his court to the
old residence on the Atlantic shores, It
was with fortunes sadly impoverished
by the reckless expenditure with which
he had promoted the legitimist Issues,
while relying on success mid ultimate
repayment. During the duke's subse
quent illness Innumerable wrongs were
done his estates, winked at by au
thority, and never reported to the cen
tral powers. Undertakings Into which
the duke had allowed himself to be
drawn, in the fever of adventure be
longing to the era, came to nothing
perhaps at an Imperial frown. Hank
ing houses failed, factors retained
funds, government seized hire, land
slides destroyed vineyards there; and
In the time of thu first seclusion of the
duchess, after her widowhood, rob
iberles right and left, public and pri
vate, dispossessed her of vast resources,
"When she attempted to look into mat
ters for herself, she was little wiser
than before; but she discovered that
she must dismiss her ladies and the
Kentlemen of her household and live
as she understood lesser nobles, or even
quite plain people, lived. Her one
faithful friend remained with her, her
adviser and the boy's tutor. That ho
was a physician of note she thought
fortunate, for the boy's Bake; she did
not know of how much note, sent for
and consulted with by the greatest. She
never knew the sacrifice of station and
Income he made by remaining with
her. But it was necessary, even had It
been contrary to his Inclination, for M.
Etienne was also to some extent a man
of affairs, and even the little that was
left had been rescued by him. The
greater part of the chateau was closed,
to go slowly to decay. What did she
and her boy want more than few rooms
and simple fare? With only the ser
vants that were indispensable and In
ways she knew as a gill at home with
her father she took up life again, at
once too proud and too humiliated to
expose her condition to old friends
one by one those old friends, them
selves in grief or seclusion, or exiled
with one or the other of the unac
knowledged kings to whom they gave
allegiance, disappearing from the face
of the earth.
But none the less was she a duchess
of the Sarazines Beaulieux. None the
less was her son the duke. And apart
from her absorbing love as his mother,
she had an adoring veneration for him
as the last of the Sarazines Beaulieux.
"You will remember," she said to the
child, holding his hand as she sat be
side his bed at night she had not been
able to delegate this delight even when
Bervlce was abundant, and formality
triumphant, although she half feared
It was a survival of that peasant strain
in her again. "You will not forget,
Beaulieux, even In your sleep you will
not forget who you are."
"How Is It that I can forget?" asked
the child. "Do not all children remem
ber themselves?"
"All children!" said the mother.
"There is only one Beaulieux! And it
is that which you must recall. All
that It means, all that the Beaulieux
have been since the beginning of the
World."
"We were there then?"
The question gave her pause. "The
strongest, the bravest, the best, cnme
early to their own, Beaulieux, " she
said then. "And In that, It signifies to
you that in your veins flows the last
best drop of their blond, and you can
never be anything but as strong, as
brave, as best, as they."
"Well, mamma. It Is that I will try,"
said the child dreamily, and contented
ly folded both little hands over hers,
as he fell asleep. .
"You will not try," she said. "You
will be."
At another time, after she had seen
him conduct himself too masterfully
"I Am Not a King, Mother.'
toward two little lads he had come
across In the forest, she reminded him
that he was not the Duke des Sarazlnes
Beaulieux for his own pleasure. "It
would be an injustice on the part of
Heaven," she said, as they sat In the
firelight, "if a king were a kins for his
own happiness. He is a klflg because
he Is fit to rule, because he can care for
his subjects better than they can care
for themselves, because he is great and
generous, and the good Clod trusts to
him the lives and happiness and honor
of hia people. A great trust, lleuux
lleux, a vast responsibility."
"I aim not a king, mamma."
"No? But you are; a luke, a leader."
"Then, my mother," said Beaux
lieux, "although they may not be my
people, yet there are Jean and Pierre
and there are my books and Mr Etl
enne If they shared with me."
"In your instruction? I do not
know," said the' duchess, retreating
into her fortress, of haughtiness. "I
will think of It. Still they are two
souls to let In the light on them I
will speaik of IB with monsieur." .
And thus through confiscation and
wrong and ruin the duchess kept the
Idea of greatness, and moved with a
dignity becoming It.
And let come what privation would
the Beauxlleux diamonds remained In
tier possession. If anyone in the out
side world thought of thm at all, it
was supposed they had gone with the
rest of the vast properties. But they
reposed still in their cases within the
Iron strong box, in a secret place of her
own apartments. And every few
years, on the evening of some birthday
of the young duke, she opened their re
ceptacle and saw the great live things
shining at her, and they seemed to her
the embodiment and expression of all
the old and rightful Beuuxlleux splen
dor. The poor duchess had no new dresses;
but her faithful Olympe kept her
clothed from the almost boundless re
sources of her former wardrobe, ac
cording to the. rumor of the modes that
reached thorn. And she would have
some garment put on, the shimmer of
whose luster was softened by the cob
webs of the ancient lace belonging to
the ladles of Heauxlleux, and with the
largest of the diamonds around her
throat and on her hair, would Bui)dcnvn
the grand staircase to the salon, where
the young duke, and monsieur, his
tutor, awaited her, as resplendent, as
stately, as beautiful us a goddess. At
least so It seemed not only to Jean nnd
Pierre, who, according to Beaulieux'
request, and on monsieur's advice, had
been admitted to share the young
duke's duties, Pierre's eyes opening us
if the riches of the earth suddenly
blazed upon him, but Jean feeling as if
a queen of heaven were no lovelier or
no more fittingly adorned, but to her
son ulso who felt, in her presence,
scarcely the need of heaven, and to M.
Etlenne who never, by so much as a
glance, said what he felt.
CHAPTER HI.
Life weot on then at the chateau In
a still and peaceful manner, and, liv
ing only like a gentlewoman of most
restricted means, perhaps the duchess
did not really know how happy she
was. Frequently M. Ktienne went
away for a brief while to Bordeaux
to London, to Paris and back, some
times to assist at an operation, some
times on consultation. The poor
duchess, who had once only to ex
press a wish and it seemed as if the
forces of nature fell In line to grant it,
did not km.w that practically the
greater part of the money spent in the
household was that brought home by
M. Ktienne, and after those journeys
M. Etlenne, who could have command
ed fortunes had he not chosen rather
to remain the protector of her and of
her child. Seldom anything broke the
tranquil monotony. Once Heauxlleux
was nearly drowned, ami the Joy of
his revivVl was more than Joy could
have been at the restoration of power
and wealth. Once Jean broke his leg
and the monsieur set it, and the
duchess tended him, the little
fair-haired fellow with his appealing
face, as If he had been her own,, and
he loved them as a dog might love
them, or rather as a. slave who had still
the memory of his own tribe nnd cab
ins. As for little Pierre, nothing ever
happpened to him; he kept himself
out of every trouble; he was always
brought In Innocent from every scrape;
you might suspect him, but you could
never bring the mischief home to him.
Vlctorine, the half-nlece of Olympe, at
the wish of madame, when the child's
parents died, was Pierre's able abettor;
and many a time did Jean suffer in
silence a reprimand for the fault of
those two impish things. But Victo
rlm! wa; very pretty and little nnd ten
der, and If Pierre could connect her
with his misdemeanors, he knew he
was safe from betrayal from Heaux
lleux and from Jean. The duchess
liked to see Victorine's pretty youth
and brightness about her, thinking of
no possible consequences, nnd had her
taught by Olympe to tip and sew and
dress hair; and then, in the mother
llness of her nature, and because there
were no daughters of neighboring seig
neurs,' as in old time, to tie taught the
fine arts of home, she would 'have her
an hour or two a day with herself in
the morning, leading her Into the mys
teries of luct.maklng and embroidery,
of water-color painting, reading his
tory and poems, greatly to Olympe'a
Ill-concealed Joy. Sometimes Duchesse
des Sarazlnes Heauxlleux smiled to
herself, a little bitterly, to think that
the niece of her serving-woman, nnd
the children of a charcoal burner and
of a fisherman should be the half of1 her
household.
But while her son grow and Increased
in stature and strength and In all tiie
finer and nobler aspecta of his being,
the duchess asked no more. Under M.
Etlenne's care his scholarship was all
that could be wished; and in the mat
ter of physical accomplishment the
tall, lithe stripling fenced and boxed
and rode nnd shot with the best; and
his mother thought with fond pride
how well he would take his place and
part when he should be called to It.
Occasionally now the monsieur took
Beauxlleux with him on his journeys
to Paris or elsewhere, and his mother
was satined that he should first see
the world, and perhaps what Is called
life, with M. Ktienne beside him. They
made no use of his title, however, then.
"It would be absurd," said Beauxllex,
"without a sou, o to say, In one's
pocket." But he was awaro that that
was something not to dwell on before
the duchess. When he came home he
had much to relate to her, and much to
tell Jean and Pierre. On one occasion
M. Ktienne had taken him, as If he
wero his assistant, to a grand house,
where a famous surgeon had requested
the monsieur's help, and where Beaux
lleux had at first 'been dazzled by
wealth and then dazzled with wonder.
They had gone afterward In haste
across Austria, on another occasion for
M. Etlenne's services, to a half savage
Roumanian prince, where, owing to his
Incognito, Beauxlleux Baw much of the
life beneath the barbaric splendor, the
Parisian surgeon leaving the case with
M. Etlenne, so that for several weeks
Heauxlleux, among conditions ,of life
of which ho had had no conception,
found himself, unaware, in his leisure
as M. Etlenne's superfluous attendant,
studying them', getting a clone Interest
In the people of the forest, on the
mountain, in the cabins clustered In
the midst of "the vast farms. "It Is
right," said M. Etlenne, when lie spoke
to him of his observations and his won
der, "that your gr;iue should know
what goes on in the world, how the
greater part of our fellow creatures
live and suffer. Fur It may some .day
be tho part of the Duke des Sarazlnes
Beauxlleux to bring them relief.".'
When the patient 111 his care could
be left, M. Etlenne took Heauxlleux
with him farther ast, and he was ap
proaching his twenty-first year when
he returned, a traveled man, to the old
chateau.'
(To Be Continued.)
THE IDEAL FEMALE ARM.
Expressiveness as Well as Beauty, an
Important but Rure Feature.
From the New York World.
"I find great difficulty In getting a
model with good arms," said a well
known sculptor recently. "It Is aston
ishing how few women there are with
arms that conform to the standard. A
perfect arm, measured from the wrist
joint to the armpit, should be twice
the length of the head. The upper part
of the arm should be large, full and
well rounded. There should be a dimple
at the elbow. The forearm must not be
too flat, not nearly so flat as a man's,
for instance.
"From a well-molded shoulder the
whole arm should taper In long, grace
ful curves to a well-rounded wrist. It
is better to have an arm that harmon
izes, even if the parts do not conform
to the generally accepted lines. For In
stance, a full, round upper arm which
Is Joined to a flat or thin forearm has
a very bad effect. Perhaps it is only a
little worse, however, than a graceful,
well-molded forearm tacked on to a
thin, scrawny upper arm.
"Correctness of form is not the only
thing necessary for a good arm. The
owner must possess the power of ex
pression with her arms. American
women are deficient In this as a rule.
Those nationalities which' show the
most expression In ithelr ai ms are the
Spanish, French and Italians. The
warmest admirer of Sarah Bernhardt
would not claim that she had beauti
ful arms, yet no one can say that the
divine Sarah ever appears ungainly In
consequence. Much more lies in the
faculty of arm expression than is gener
ally supposed."
ENTIRELY UNNECESSARY.
Putting Locks on the lien Houses Was a
Needless Reflection.
From the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
The hen-roosts at the little village of
Luxemburg, Just south of Carondelet,
were systematically and persistently
robbed, and the colored population of
New Memphis grew fat and looked pros
perous, until several farmers from out
In Pennsylvania moved into the neigh
borhood. Shortly after this Captain
Sum Boyd, then of the First1 police dis
trict, met an old negro, and the follow
ing conversation passed between them:
"How are times down In the coun
try?" asked the captain.
"Purely, sah, porely."
"What Is the cause?"
"It's de comin' In o' dese Pennsylva
nia Dutch, sah."
"How did they cause hard times?"
"By tearin' down all de ole smoke
houses and chicken-houses, sah."
"What? Why did that make any dif
ference?" "Because, sah, da tore down de log
houses and put up brick houses, with
locks on the doar. Da needn't be so
particular. Nobody wasn't going to
steal nuthin'."
A Lost Opportunity.
From the Richmond Dispatch.
A gentleman who hail for a long time
been eonllned to his room by an obstinate
ailment, and hail so far lost faith In the
treatment he was receiving as to neglect
to take the remedies prescribed for him,
was one day surprised by seeing his doc
tor, who hud but an hour before departed
from his regular call, enter the room in
breathless excitement, and hearing him
exclaim:
"Good heavens! I've given you the
wrong medicine!"
"If I'd known that before," replied the
invalid, "I would have taken some; It
might have helped me."
Where Petroleum Is Found.
Petroleum Is found In Sicily, the north
of Italy, In many volcanic Isles In tho
Mediterranean, at Baku on the Caspian,
on the slopes of the Caucasus, at Ran
goon In llurmah, In the Island of Trinidad,
in Ontario, Pennsylvania, Ohio, New
York, West Virginia. California, In Si
beria, Tartary, China and In several
places In Africa.

The World .Moves.
The dude will no longer despairingly weep
The critical tongues will stop wagging;
The method has Just been invented to
keep
Tho knees of our trousers from bagging.
Thu tailor perhaps of the things will make
game,
And sneer nt the Inventor's elation;
But the trumpet of fame will sound his
name
To the uttermost parts of creation.

CHRISTMAS AT SAXDKIXGHAM
The Absence of tho Princess of Wales Is
Deplored by the Household-German
Puiperor's Little Joke-News
of the Theaters.
Special Correspondence of The Tribune.
London, Dec. 26. Christmas Is over;
well, over for some people. Those
of us who said some months
ago, "Oh, I shall skate during
the holidays," told awful yarns, for Ice
there was not any; the weather was
warm and balmy, moreover, It rained
all the time, off and on, and people
generally spent a lot of time Indoors.
At Brighton men discarded their over
coats, though for an hour or two they
were compelled to don mackintoshes
and ladies left their furs at home, while
in the Scllly Isles the Inhabitants ate
strawberries grown in the open! The
"city" Is very jubilant over the good
business done, and wholesaler and re
taller, stockjobber and middleman,
have all reaped tho benefits of a suc
cessful season. Christmas time nt
Sandrlngham Is always a merry one.
This year the family had to deplore tho
absence of the Princess of Wales, still
ministering to her sister in far away
Russia. Christmas, too, always shows
the prince In his best light, and his
generosity to the poor around Is
proverbial, all his tenants nnd employes
receive gifts of one sort or another, and
the children have a line and large tea
all to themselves. In the village is a
club for the men started by the prince,
and an institution that he takes great
Interest In. The club always receives
something useful In the festive season,
and the prince occasionally visits the
building to exchange kindly greetings.
At home Christmas time Is a period of
freedom for Inhabitants and guesls
alike, the latter doing Just as they
please; presents are freely exchanged,
those given by the two princesses al
ways being the creation of their own
hands, and generally needle or wool
work. These two young ladles have n
workroom of their own and practice
all the latest fads In brass-tapping,
cloisonne work, modelling, etc. In the
evening the time Is passed with music
and billiards and Edward Is supremely
happy, for he Is an excellent host.
The German emperor Is a funny
young man. His latest jokelet Is con
tained in a letter to the Carlyle House
fund, in which he styles himself "a de
scendant of Frederick the Great." Here
in lies the "goak" for Freddie never had
a child. Really very wrong of him ns
he might have known that Billy would
make some reference to It In after ages!
It Is not generally known how much
care Is taken of our Queen when
she travels, but as much precaution is
observed as though the czar of all the
Nihilists (or most of 'em) was travelling
fiom St. Petersburg to Moscow. On
her Journey to the Isle of Wight last
week the queen's train was preceded by
a pilot engine and was signalled by
platelayers placed within sight of each
other all the way from Windsor to
Portsmouth, nnd all other trains were
shunted to clear the line an hour be
fore the pilot engine was sighted.
There are Idlota In London who would
rather miss a year of their lives than a
first night at ithe Drury Lane panto
mime on Boxing night and your Ion
don correspondent Is one of them! It
has features all Its own and takes rank
with the 'varsity boat race and Derby
Day as a great democratic festival.
The same scenes occur year after year
and the same familiar faces arte to be
seen above and below, for hours crowds
of people hang round the doors waiting
for admission, and the doors once upon
the "Drury Lame rush" takes place.
Once Inside and ithe fun commences.
Gentlemen In the gaillery throw nuts
across to each other, the ladles in the
gallery wear their "men's" hats for
them. Greetings, such ns "Wotclver
greasy Llzy?" and '"Ow are yer comin'
up beery Bill?" float across the space,
and soon the gallery and pit commence
to whistle popular tunes, the leader
of the orchestra Is greeted with warmth
and the band strikes up with all the
popular songil of the day, the audience
Joining in with gusto', Roars of ap
plause greet the rising of the curtain,
and cheers greet each actor or actress
as they trip upon the stage for the
first time. The whole thing is wonder
fully inspiriting, and the general good
nature is Immense, but woe betide the
Individual who does not at once remove
his "chappe.au" when the yells go up
"'ait horf !" for the said Individuals will
of surety be! "bonneted." which geni
al ofllce la performed In this wise: A
man grabs one of the offender's arms
nnd nnotlwr gfasps the other, and a
third party at the back promptly
squares the hut over the unfortunate
Blnner's eyes. And should the assault
ed one turn round, he la greeted with
cries of "turn him 'art," "sit darn" and
"Bo-o-o! shut up!" The pantomime
this year Is the well-worn tale of "Dick
Whittlngton," and Sir Augustln Harris
has again surpassed himself and the
stage of Old Di ury. During the prog
ress of the pantomime Is one long and
gorgeous dream of fairyland. One
seem? represents Chlnaland, where the
faithful cat destroys king rat, etc., nnd
there Is a battle royo between lovely
lady cats and equally beautiful lady
rats, followed by wedding restlvuiies,
Another scene Introduces Dick Whit
tlngton aa lord majuvr of London, and
the procession Is a mairvel of beauty,
comllness of limb and gorgeousness of
dress (what there is of It!). The per
formers, as is ithe modern custom, con.
stet of music hall celebrities and con.
tnlri the names of such artists ad Her
bert Campbell, Dan Leno, the Grif
fiths Brothers, Miss Alice Montrose,
charming Ada Blanche, and Queenle
Lawrence.
At Irvlng's old home, the Lyceum, we
have "Santo Claus," a clever panto
mime acted by clever children, assisted
bv Chanles Laurl and other smart peo
pie. At the Crystal Palace "Blue
Beamd" holds the boards and the aa
aience; and numerous otlver panto
mlmos are scattered about. ' At ithe Ag.
rlcultural Hall, In "Merrle Islington,"
a "World's Fair" Is being held,' as la
usual at .this eeaisun, the chief quali
ty Is noise of on iear-spllttlng desorlp

of the animals being 'the chief offending

tracts between 60.000 and 60,000 people

caution of providing wool for their
ears!

well-known .provincial actress familiar
by the nam of Kitty Lyrre.il, but In
reality being Mrs. Harry Ewlns, fell
dead at the sidewlngs after receilvlng
an, cinithuslastlc call for a song and

hoiirlfied to find the wife, to whom he
was deeply attached, quite lifeless. The
wretched man was fitted as the clown,

he never fouled better, but at tine fall
of the curtain the poor fellow wa.s quite
broken up. The deceased woman was a
great favorite, Bind grief intense and

At Olymp'a we have another of Bo-
lossy Kllralfy's wonderful spectacles,
which Is, "as before," with a difference,
this time it Is "The Orient." An im

lake Is covered with boats a la "Venice"
and are largely patronized.
On Saturday last a singular and ter
rible accident occurred on the London
and Narthiwiesterni railway iat Chel-
ford, near Crewe, in Cheshire, an acci
dent that brought grief instead of joy
Into many homes at Christmas time.
Several goods vans were blown by the
violence of the gale from their own
lines across the up lines too late to give
warning to the express from Manches
ter, which iran into them. The train
was an exceptionally heavy one and
required two engines, the drivers doing
all In their power to avert the collision
but too late. Then engines and front
carriages actually cleared the obstruc
tion and then the smash came, the
usual horrible scenes ensued and fif
teen persons were killed and twenty
severely Injured. Several miraculous
escapes have been recounted. A Mr.
Smith was In carriage that was com
pletely wrecked and escaped Injury,
and In another carriage that was com
pletely smashed up, two cavalrymen
were unscathed, whilst three other pas
sengers were killed outright. The
many wrecks around the coast and the
brave and perilous rescues by the life
boat imake every Britisher's heart beat
for sympathy and admiration at the
spunk shown by the gallant rescuers;
never before have the brave fellows
done so much or so useful work. Many
ships omd valuable lives wore 'lost,
however, added to all of which were
the many disasters from falling build
ings and chimney stacks on land. Al
together ISM has been a terrible year
for storms and floods In our .little
Island, and the wonder Is that even
more damage has not been done.
Messrs. Bywater, Tanqueray & Co.,
emigration agents of Liverpool, have
created a dangerous precedent. A
poor Polish woman at Liverpool ap
pealed to the manager to get her little
sister, Pearl Landau, over from Pol
and. The manager finding the woman
was too poor to pay the passage money,
sent out one of the company's labels,
with the following Inscription written
on it In several languages. "To the
Railway Officials: Please forward this
girl on to Hamburg;" giving the ad
dress of the agents there. The 10-year-old
girl traveled dn this way over
land In a parcel, from Cracow to Ger
many and from thence by boat to
Grimsby and on to Liverpool. Since
this incident the company have been
Inundated with letters from poor peo
plij imploring them to send for their re
lations in the Same manner.
Cecil Rhodes has gone to sunny Monte

"Vive la bicycle" (dear, oh dear,
Is) a wheel masculine or feminine
that's the worst of showing off one's
French!) Any how, a tale reaches me
from France, and a true one too, mind
you of a young lady, while her name
Is Mdlle. D'Arcy and her native town Is
Bordeaux, who went for a walk to see
the sunset, a horrible thing to do, by
the way, to go and look nt the naked
sun. Anyhow, as time slipped on a bi
cyclist rode down the hill and dis
mounting he leant his wheel against a
tree and solicited a franc; the ludy gave
It him. "Now your purse," said the gen
tlemanly rulllun, and she handed that
over, too. "Now your watch and
chain," and again the damsel fair
stumped up. And then it was that the
"wlllln" made his fatal mistake, for he
turned his back to arrange the watch
and chain tastefully across his manly
bosom. Mad'lle seized the opportunity
and the next thing that monsieur saw
was the figure of a damsel fair disap
pearing down the hill on his beloved
bike. The lady set the gendarmes on
his track and the ungallant wheelman
will spend the next few weeks trending
the mill excellent practice for bicyc
lists, by the way!
We are promised no fewer than four
new papers early In the coming year.
One will be on American lines and will
make a dead set at overcoming the
dead level to which the news agencies
have reduced the newspapers here by
going in for a great display of special
articles, which will not necessarily be
of a sensational character. "On Amer
ican lines," well, If It lives up to prom
ise, It will certainly be up to date, and
many scandals will quickly be brought
to light. Let us hope that the new ven
ture will be kinder In Its criticisms
on England and Its people than Hen
nett's "Sunny South" paper Is.
Ab this letter Is being sent off more
fierce gales are blowing, and tomorrow
will find more terrible disasters largely
writ In the papers. Your correspondent
wishes the Inhabitants of Scranton all
good wishes for the coming year.
