QHAPTEU III CONTINUED.
The days were Ions to the duchess
while her sou and the monsieur were
away. She busied herself and Victor
lne at their embroidery, at their books.
She walked beside the sea in the latter
part of the day, a Alight, swift figure
wrapped in a long cloak, looking over
the gray and melancholy waste, rest
less herself as those dreamy waters
WMie longing for "her boy, distrusting
and fearing the future, yet soothed
when she thought of the strong arm of
M. Kth'iine, on which, whether near or
far, she leaned, in the evening Pierre
tinkered at the barrel of the music
box, having a knack of tinkering, or
perhaps Jean read to them by the flre
llyht which Illuminated the dark salon,

Part of the Day.
bring In from the forest, or raiding,
not by any means line news of the day
madame would have none of that now
more frequently old romances of der-rlng-doe.
When Beauxlleux Came homo vlth
tiie story of his adventure It was
Pierre's eyes fUat opened at the men
tion of palaces and great houses, and
he demanded even more particulars
than had struck Beauxlleux's sight. It
was Jean who asked about the peoplo
upholding the structure of the great
households on their shoulders. Jean
himself had been away un foot, more
than once now no one knew where.
But even the duchess had seen the
light on his face sometimes when com
ing back.
"I shall have a dwelling such as one
of those," said Pierre. "I shall house
my wife in a paAiae. I go to Paris to
makeimy foiHuna."
"You like then this rotten splendor,"
orled fhe deep voice of Beauxlleux,
from the shadow where he sat by the
duchess on the nther side of the wilde
hearth. "Alas! It 'is only the scum on a
sea of filth and Iniquity. That liaughiter
of the people who float over It I hear
through It only the groan of the people
who produce It!"
"I Bhall ndt search too deeply," said
Pierre. "One mum cannot reform the
world. Ltit me take the best of it while
It Is going money, Jewels, houses,
horses "
"And you call that the best? Money
wrung out of my sweat? Idle glitter of
Jewels while others have scarcely rags?
Houses that are gilded seraglios, while
there are men and women sleeping on
wattles of straw"
"It will not be my fault," said Pierre,
"that they sleep on straw. Pshaw!
When I am rich I shall not keep It all
to myself. I shall take pleasure in
giving"
"He has read of Alnaschar," said
Jean.
"In giving!" cried Beaulieux. "There
Is no giving! It Is theirs! It Is their
labor, their lives, their deprivation,
their want, their suffering, that made
all this money; no matter how you
come by It. It Is theirs! You can give
them nothing. You can only restore In
p.'irt."
"What puzzles me," said Jean, "Is
how these others can think that they
love the good Uod, and, knowing that
He loves all men, be willing to wrong
any man. No, no, when I recollect
the story of Jesus, that He died for
mn. I have felt myself unwilling to ac
cept the sacrillce., I have felt that I,
too, must surrender myself, if not to
die, then to .live for. men. Never for
myself, only for them."
"Oh, Jean!" cried Ileaulleux, clasp
ing his hand. "And I shall live with
you!"
"I suppose Jean Is going to be a
priest?" said the pretty Victorlne, with
a little Insolent shrug.
"Not or any church, Victorlne," said
.Jean. "I shall not need to be blessed
of the apostollq succession in order to
carry hope into dungeons."
"Oh, you make me cold at the heart
of me!" cried Victorlne.
Beaulieux had now set himself seri
ously at work to learn the profession
In which M. Etlenne was so accom
plished. He was not one under any
circumstances to be Idle. His mother
had not wished this study, however,
she would have him wait, even If It
were in poverty, preserving his nobil
ity, till the government should give
him his own again. But the hated em
pire had fallen, and It had been re
placed by the even more hated repub
lic. THat had not signified grently to
her;' it, was never "France" to her. It
was always "My son." But now even
Henry V. was dead. "There Is no more
hope," M. Etlenne had declared. "Let
his grace do as he will." And it was
M. Etlenne who found the means for
Beaulieux to go to Paris and finish his
undertaking. His mother had some
dim idea that all things were open to
him as his father's son, as the last of
his exalted name; she had no Idea
whatever that the name now was re
membered only as a matter of history,
nor that In Paris the young duke was
known simply as Beaulieux, a student
of promise from a southwestern depart
ment. .
It was. on his twenty-first birthday
that his mother formally made over to
him his possessions. He was a little
sad about it no that the chateau was
a ruin, the forest so thin, ithe fields bo
few .and bare, but that his mother
'should break her heart over these
affairs. For .himself, he was full of
strength and (hope, and nothing mat
tered since he was well and was alive,
since he had M. Etlenne and Jean;
since, aibove all he had his mother.
His mother, not yet In her fortieth
year, was still beautiful, her hair black
aa the raven's wing, her dark clear
skin as smooth as a girl's, her eyes
glowing as the midnight stare, her
smile heartwarming. As she stood In
the warm light, for Olympe had candles
in every sconce, wearing that pale
primrose satin of more than twenty
years ago, covered now with black
lace of a far greater age, almost
wrapped in the glow of the Beaux
lleux diamonds, as In a cloud of bright
ness, preserving all the sweet and
stately grace of her first youth, she
was still a sight to make a man's heart
tremble. She seemed to beam and
sparkle as she walked, her every move
ment shedding a stream of light; and
Jean himself did not llnd it possible to
envy her In his heart that night the
possession of the diamonds, that they
might be sold and their price given to
the poor. As for her, it would as soon
have occurred to her to sell herself as
those stones, which were a part ofMhe
Insignia of the family magnificence.
She put off the air of gentle melan
choly which fhe usually wore, but
which was a remnant of old manner
rather than an indication of present
feeling, and made them gay with her
gayety. She talked with Jean of
Beauxlleux, her son, and his future,
with M. Etlenne of his great cases,
with Pierre of his hopes Pierre had
had a year In Purls now. She danced
with Beauxlleux to tunes of the music
box. She even danced down the long
room with M. Etlenne, once, but no
more, a sort of shiver making her fall
on the cushsions of the bench in the big
window there, and she closed the even
ing by singing at the piano, which
Jean kept In tune, a little chanson,
that was as proper to her voice as fra
grance is to the rose. When she em
braced her son, and bade them all
good-night, and swept through the
door that M. Etlenne held open for
her, they felt as if after all in her
grace and majesty there were the
traits of a divine right to power, that
something like a superior being had
been with them.
And later, aa she sat under Olympe's
hands, the pretty Victorlne taking the
jewels as they were unclasped, the
duchess thought, with a sort of sacred
Joy. of the time when she should give
these Jewels to Beauxlleux' wife an
Orleans princ?ss, It 'might be; who
knew? That family had the wealth re
quired, but the Sarazlnea Beauxlleux
name and blood was the older and the
nobler. And he smiled unconsciously
and sweetly on the girl whose forward
ness had of late needed repression, and
had made the duchess doubt her wis
dom In taking the three low-born child
ren Into her life, through pity for
Beauxlleux' solitude at a time when
tha safety of what was left to them lay
in being forgotten. And taking from
her Jewel box a thread of gold holding

a heart of pearls, she hung It on the
glrl'a neck, so that no one might fall
of happiness on the day that Beaux
lleux, even though It were but fanciful
vision, with no tangible reality, came
to his rights. as the first peer of France.
CHAPTER TV.
Beauxlleux was walking late that
night on the stone terrace Hooded with
moonlight. On one side the sea, not
far away, swelled like the curve f
some silver shield and cast Its own
luster back upon the sky and filled the
night with the soft music of Its mur
mur. On the other side he saw the
old chateau, covered with vines, full of
deep-set shndows.
"Voyes vous pendre au (lane de la colllne
Ces tnurs, ces tours, cette vusto ruine?"
he repeated as he walked.
"Aux temps passes line bruyante cour
Retentlssnlt douce ce muet hpJouY,
II fut pouplc le heroes et da belles,
II ontendt aux nobles demoiselles,
Les chevaliers chanter des lols d'amour."
. And Just then he saw two shadows
hurrying down the arcade of the long
disused chapel cloister, disused, since,
when she had reorganized her house
hold on the basis of comparative pov
erty, the duchess had suffered the
abbe to go, accepting In his stead the
office of thf village priest. "Ah,
well," Beauxlleux said, a gentle smile
following the shadows, "the love of the
noble demoiselle and the chevalier., la
no better worth than the love of
Pierre and Victorlne. And this may
help to strike the balance with all that
other, the loves, the luxury of that
bruyante cour. Can It take less than
the life time of centuries of Beaux
lleux to restore to the people all of
which that bruyante cour, and such aa
that, has robbed ithm?"
Par he had already another point of
vJow fhlan 'that of Ihls mother, who, be
llevlelng lit the duty of nobles to hold
'thttlr prtojrte n charge and provide for
thwlr happiness, waa confident that the
Beauxlleux could never have done oth
erwise. And he went back to hi
thoughts, which were now fUll"Sf
somber feeling end now of Joyous hope.
While tat his studies In Parks Busjux

of life; he Mad Keen flights that mania

to Jean. And tn recalling these Jour
neys with M. Etlenne aa far as the
Caucasus, he forgot the palaces, the

said, aa he walked, looking across fflie

moment ,the thought flashed on him
that lit 'was some masquerading play of
VJctorlnu's, and then It had vanished
so Instantly, that he knew it for am il
lusion of his eyes, of Wis brain, tired
with thinking and caring and sorrow
ing for sorrows he oould not iheal. And
so he left the ntghlt 'aired moonlight, and
the cold unquiet sea, and went to his
slumbers.
There lhJad been a brief season of
gayety in the first year after Bttaux
lleux's majority, when Pierre, who re
ported himself aa doing finely, cfume
homo to marry 'Victorlne, whose lhand
he Wad asked of the duchess, a wed
ding which took a great load off the
mind of Olympe, slnoe he knew the
wiles of Victorlne, and the charm of
being Duchess des Sarazlnes Beaux
lleux, even in a republic, where It
mlsfht be little more than bfilng ia
duchess of rag fair. She had not
chlauieed to hoar Pierre eay to Victorlne
that might in the wood: "I will make
you Duchess des Beauxlleux yot!"
More than once in the two years time,
Beaulieux had run down to the chateau
for a sight of his mother, for a fresh
trip with Jean, no one knew where, but
from which he came back with an air,
one could not declare were It more of
sadness or of proud determination. "I
have been eating black bread," he would
say in answer to his mother's inquiry.
"1 have been among my brothers. There
is so much to do. They have not only
to be helped, they have first to be
taught that they need the help. They
are in the dark; they do not even
grope; they do not know that there 1$
any light. They suffer so. They ure
so patient. Some of them, my mother,
seem like beasts of the field. And it is
we who have made them so!" he cried,
springing to his feet. "It is the weight
of our splendor that has crushed them
into earth."
"Our splendor!" said his mother,
bitterly.
"The splendor," with a wild ges
ture, "thut, thank Uod, is ours no
more!"
"My child! Beaulieux!"
"Sometimes," he said, "when I am
with them, my heart swells as If it
would burst. I feel the very singing
of the poor blood In their veins. It
would not be so poor had mine not
been too rich! We have trodden them
down so long, they have been so herded,
so outraged, so cowed, so starved, their
souls Impoverished as thrir bodies my
God! We have lived on their labor,
our wealth Is their sweat, our thrones
arc plunted on their slaughter! Often
when 1 have seen the great carriages
driven along the Bols, the high step
ping horses In their golden harnesses,
the women, rosy, round, their silks
overflowing like petals of great flowers,
the sight of them has mude me
tremble, I have felt the wheels of
those carriages roll.ng through blood!"

Mrs. John Reese, South Pott3town,
Pa., says: "It is now about a year since
I was cured of one of the worst attacks
of rheumatism I ever had. I had tried

so I concluded to try Munyon's Heme
dles. I never hnd any faith In homeo
pathy; I confess now I am a firm be
liever In it. After tuking the Rheuma
tism remedy a few days I was able to
raise my arm, which 1 had not moved
for two weeks without the most In
tense torture. Within a Bhort time I
was completely cured, and It was per
manent, for during the post year I have
not hud the slightest return of the dis
ease." Munyon's Rheumatism Cure Is guar
anteed to cure rheumatism In any part
of the body. Acute or muscular rheu
matism cured In from one to five days.
