The King, with im odd, amused sur prise upon Iilin, was pleased to bo gin i'Iouh, nnd presently, when the dunce opened, he led her out. All wan new to .Tuequellner the Bny music; the brilliant scone; the King's mnlle, like a flower from Its sheath who bloomed out of her convcnt-bicd silence and timidity. Youth's elasticity tin Hied her veins, the ihythmln motion was a delight: In many eye! she lead that she was charming, charming, and the news was sweet. Yet for all their Joy ous brightness a vciy pretty dltlldenoe lingered In her eyes, and she spoke with blithesome naivete. His Majesty was entranced.

Hut the mu-s-ie hd on again and she .stepped loi wjid to meet the elnp ol her husband's haiifl. She lookeil tip at him. His nia-.if"-ty, with the duchessS fair lingeis in his, ported askanio to watch De Maiche uitet those staitled, questioning young e.ies, and swiitly two nt tlio tattlei's di?ooeiies woie indoised. To king and count Madame la Diiehes-e was become passee. Tor Jiom his wife's eyes Ue Maiche had looked Into the king's and ibeli glances woie tlio classing ot s-vords. It was not until she was in the hlelgh milng home that Jacqueline'1- mute question was aii'-weiod bv anuthei. "What Is it," asked Ue Maiche. "N'o mattoi. Monslein le t'oiute, 1 am learning fast." "Xot, I hope, to be unkind." "Ah' who teaches me?" "Do you give voui captives no quai tcr. little one"" "Captive;-!" nkd the ghl, tuiniug on him pasfcionately: "captives, that is what jou huu made ol us." "The king." said De Man he, dijly, "is a most fascinating man." "Ho i a most mile man," icniom biMiice sti Iking the oloi back to her cheek. "The king mile!" oiled Maw he. and smiled as he bent to wrap hoi tuis olr.r-.cr: "I must take gieat caie of jou, little lotintess. Then is not such an other eiltle in this lomt of Fiance." I1 was the busbies- ot De Heiry. ohlpf of police, to .know es ei j thing; and he attended to the matter as i.u as was humanly possible. Amid weightier af laiis lit totind dhdsions in the eclipse ul Madame la Uuchesse. lie oven found -nine sympathy In his austeie n.uuw' tor the com use with which she hold up hei handsome head and the smile of iiintempt that she dealt the foigetlul iii ss of her late woishlpeis. At the tieM salon ho sought a moment's ti'tc-a-ti tc witli hei. I'lio Countess Ue Mai (he," he said, "Is In gieat tumble. She bus lost hoi b'liothal ling, (he gieat Maieho ruby. Is that eiy bad luck?" "Oh, e.Ntieiuel.v": she was looking far down the vista, ol brilliant gioups, w lit'io Louis, liiilultely boied, was tak ing a slow pinch of snuff. "The luck does not depend," asked De Hei ry, "upon who get? the gem?" The tone ilww her eyes, "You hive tiaced It?" aluitly. Hut lie Beny only slntigsed and looked down nt the king, "Ciuel," said the Duchess, with her pietty laugh. "Do you never the of jour buiden of secrets?" "Ves. Sometimes i give one away. Listen, now," softly, "why do you not help tht little countess?" .Madame glanced ncroaa swittly to where Jacqueline held the count, lato her own. "Help her?" frowning; "she seems In no need." "She lb only a baby and toys please her. for the moment; but theio am other moments." "And which of us has not those other moments, monsieur?" "Ah, yes; but one must shield sttch baby." "W'oll," sharply. "She has been made jealous for her husband." , "It's an excellent beginning," said madanie. "Bu( sh-e las struck back, the naugh ty Utile witch, and given a gift to the Itlng." , 'The ruby! What a mod freak!" Jf J'Most unhappy, For If she wins a umlle from his majesty sho cannot hold It. He Is too bowed at other little (Xeet, poor man," Madame loweied her tine eyes and tapped one of the little feet. The ghost of a. snillc touched her lips. - "And the count?" she asked. "tie does not know. She Is already 'pioHt anxious about the time when he shall Know." "Sho should get back the ruby." "True, and get the count. Only you can help her," "Oh, most dreadful man! Can you speak in nothing but liddles?" "She would forgive the count," said DoBwry, "and fly with him If she were Jealous enough." "Go away," said madame, laughing, , '! dm afraid of you." Obeying her, he came upon the car dinal, who had boon qulswlcally watch ing him. "Plotting a rescuo for madanio?" ho said. "J but hinted, your eminence, that one lover safe Is better thun two othets." "Uxceilent. And the little conn tost?" Hoth looked over to the little coun tess. She was chatting gayly, ra diant. Thetp was still a throng about her. "She will go the way of the otheis," De llerry .ald, giuilly. Hut the cardi nal shook his head. Now the gieat inby had fallen and hldedu Itself behind one of the king's shoe buckles. It was handed tip to him with a gay jest. "1 saw the little countess cuitseycd very low. Your majesty's smile must ulways be fatal." "Hut thl," answered his majesty, "Is a man's ring." "True. Hut your niujesty may have noticed," with u giln aside, "that the manlage was somewhat hnscy, and Do Marohe having a choice taste In jewels, nothing less than the famous mby could servo his bride-elect." "And nothing less." added another, "could sponk so eloquently fiom the king's shoe." "A rare triumph," put In a thlwl. "The little countess is a, witch." Louis tucked the ting Into his pocket. "She has her season lor punishing De Maiche," he said, laughing softly. "You may be silent about this matter, gentlemen, and send Dp Beny to mo." At which the courtiers stood a bit aghast, for oven the loeklest con science may have Its spots of, qualm when a king looks black at another man. "A clumsy mse," said De Maiche. "It Is as well," brusquely, "that you linden stand. The appointment comes tluough me because refusal" "You were to hint that lefusal means the Bastlle, Monsieur De l-tany?" "I was to hint that." "And If I accepted, and my wife goes. with mo?" "His majesty would say," with low eied eyes, "that she cannot be spaied from attendance on the queen, who has taken a fancy to her." "Death, man! Have ou the blood of n fish?" "1 need have." AVheels sounded In the com t yawl. De Maiche looked down from a near window and beckoned De Beny. The little countpss wit.i just back from a di he She was thinking that even the shadows iieie were lighter than those about the convent. Her face was rad iant with the ciisp -winter air and the io of life. "It Is vciy sad." De Deny mm inured solllv "Psham"' answeilng moie the thought than the woid-. "I defy the king and all his com t to soil her light est thought. Rut," with a fieicc in diawn bip.ith, "If theio's danger I'll take her away. A laigo bit of the eaith is outside the rule of Louis de Dombon I'll take hei away." " "Pis 'a pity," dily, "that you told mo." "Ah, well, theie Is no dangei." The chief went down the loom with bout held, and came back. "The countess's ling," he began, and uatispii "Ah, es. H.ivo jou twice of it?" "A slight twice of it. Cut, Monsieur le Cointe " "Yes?" "Do not set your he.ut upon " "Upon tlio mby?" "Upon anything " De Maiche looked him in the eye. "I bid jou good day, monsieur," he said. Then he went to Countess Jacqueline and told of the sudden journey and stood silent. "And you do not wish it?" questioned Jacqueline. "Am I not leaving you " "Also Madam la Duehesse." "All, you have been told that al loady?" "A heady." "Hoar mo, little one Time was a poor stupid tellow i caching . if let a trin ket. He thought he wanted it. The chief attraction. I think, ias that he had a gieat ihal. Taking a way to wawl this tilukot he came upon some thing dlffeient, Infinitely dlfftieut. Ho has foisotten nil else in tlio world. Can you forgive his folly, little countess?" "I'nor tilnket!" sighed Jacqueline. "Has it still the gieat rival, or has he, loo, round something difteient?" "He. too. We ale ilvals again." T'ho little countess Hushed hotly. "And you go away?" she said. '.Shall I tell my great ilval that r am afraid to go away?" "Would It be true?" "Novel!" At this she leached out hoi hands in a very ptetty lojalty and ho bent swiftly and diew them to his lips, " in ay your Ood keep you. Httlo one." "And you," hieathed Jacqueline; she had not fot gotten him his tilnket, yet bur heait was thiobblug so she could not well speak, and De Marho smiled. Ho should have been far fiom Ver sailles by nightfall, yet the duchess, resting after her seventh dance, dls coveied him coming up the great stair way, Sho had chosen her seat against a heavy portleie because its tints made nioro pei feet the sheen of her dross and halt; but she smiled -with new zes.t on finding the little countess in tlio shadows of the other side. A cautious linger beckoned De Marchc. "Not gone yet?" "I hao come back," "A magnet here','" "A magnet. Can you dhect me," glancing eagerly about, "to Countess. Jacqueline?" "You nro In hasto?" "Pardon, yes, in haste," "Ono would say so," pouting, "A tiue lover's haste," "A true Jovci's haste, mudum. You have said it," "Fie, fie, monsieur le count, 'tis a century old to be In love with one's wife," "Piay help go aged a man with your young eyes." "Poor feeble men!" with n little bit ter laugh, "jou are always wanting eyes. And I am to help you see the woman you lovo?" "The Countess Jacqueline, yes." Fiom behind the portleie came the swish of silken skhts flying away, The duchess listened. "Excellent!" she cried, and bioke Into a ringing laugh. "Not quite what De Berry expected, but 'twill serve." De Marchc staled, then, with o. curt bow, turned away. Now, there weie conveniently about 1 the king some few with tact enough to help his occasional escape fiom the boicdom of royal etiquette. And the. dullest of his court could read his eje when It icsted on the Countess Jacque line. So when she hurried away to an nuteioom opening fioni the second grand salon, only Louis followed. She was (lushed and trembling, and he thought It was his coming. "Ah," he cried gayly, "always hiding! XJavii you no heart, little queen of witches?" "Js your majesty collecting hearts?" faltered Jacqueline. "1 seek one to match a gem that has been given me," and he held the mby under her eyes. "Given?" she gasped, "given?" "Was It not?" "No, no, she!" In dlstiessed pnibar lassmeut. "How could It bo given? It was given me." The king Inughed. lie thought that ho understood, "You need not be afraid of anyone," he said, "when you give It to Louis." She stood silent, but faced him proudly. "Come," he urged, "take It bnck, then. What will jou give In cMiinnge, little witch, for my mby?" "Your majesty jests with me." "No, on my soul, no!" drawing near er. "You shall have back the ling for a smile and a coronet for another. Come, smile on me, queen of witches," and, seizing her hand, he shut the mby Inside. "Theie must bo happiness In the heart," mm mured Jacqueline, trying to diaw back, "befoie It can be shown on the lips." "And cannot j-our heart be hannj-, little flinty one, with a ruby and a coionet and a klng7" "Not with the world," answeied the little countess, "unless" "Unless?" "Unless he. too, woie happj" "He!" oiled Louis, "What the king?" ' Tlio count." Disgust ut this was nowise diminished by a step on the tbieshold. Releasing the unwilling hand, Louis turned shaip- lj- to lace De Maiche; not, however, to meet his ejes. They weie upon the Countess Jacuuellne. The flist impulse had .been to fly. foi had sho not confessed wondeis which he must have heaid? But the many hangings bewildered her, ho stood In the only way of escape. She paused to look at her shvlj-, and then theie was no moie will to llj-, but hide .she must; so, finding no other waj-, she lan to his aims. Still when she spoko it was in keen i em oach. '"You decided to be afraid?" "No, no," said De Marche. "I decided to be afiaid of nothing, and hold you hoie." They had ulleilj foi gotten Louis, who took snuff and swoie sottlj-, and (lnallv letieated. Hut he had his who Inter vals of grace, and a saving sense of humor, that Loul de Bouibon; theie eamo no lettie do cachet no moie exile. As for Madame la Douchesse, her lit- tie day held Its sunshine a bit longer. Supi inglleld Republican. THE DEATH CARD. Fatal Supeistition or Whatever It Was, the Man Died. A 0111 ion-, CNainplo of the powei of sugestiou over a supeistitious mind has just been told me by a man whoe name is too well known to mention. He tells the story as his leason for lefus Ing to play cauls these day,: "Seveial yeaia ago," says he, "I was .1 member of a Iioiibc party at a club house In the mountains of Pennsyl vania. One evening a man who made his home at the clubhouse suggested a game of poker. Wc made It a flve handPd game, tho Ideal number for .1 poker game, 1 think, and we adjourned to the man'. 100m to plaj-. Besides the man who httggested the game the patty was made up ot his wife, who sat at his left: a lady fiom Washington, who sat at his light; one other man and mjself. Tlio man I'll call him U was a jovial fellow, witli not an ouneo ot supeistition in his make-up, so far as 1 knew. AVe played for an hour or so, and the deal camp mound to tlip Wash ington woman. She shuflled as piettily as anj woman 1 ever saw, but as she gave the cauls a fillip, the four of spades How out of the pack and fell to the lloor at the feet of tho man to her lei t . He picked it up for her and she said, laughingly: " You oughtn't to have picked that cawl up. it's the death caul. Tt fell In your loom, nt your feet, and you picked up bad luck when you touched It.' "B laughed, but fiom that minute ho began to lose. I was sin prised to sen how badly he took his bad luck, for wo were playing penny-ante, live cent limit and he couldn't lose but a few cents, no matter what ends he held, The Wash ington woman banteied him a. gieat deal about the unlucky death card, till ho giew actually peevish. Later In tho B.iniu after the deal had gone mound several times, It came to him, and again the four of spades fell at his feet as ho shuflled the pack, "'Woise anil wmse laughed Hip Washington woman. 'The death caul's yours for keeps now.' "H didn't speak, diew one cud nnd bet all the chips ho had. He won tho pot on a straight, and the four of spades was In It. I never knew whether It was the one enrd ho had dwivvn that time or not, for ho got up from the table and lefused to play any more. We jokod him about 'cold feet' and about quitting as soon an ho had made his stake back, but he didn't take It In good patt. He left us all feeling In de cidedly uncomfoi table. Just ut daylight ills wifo aroused the house with her frantlo screams. U was found dpad in bed, and I (Irmly believe he died of flight. Tho doctor said heart disease, but I'm convinced that the wony over that foolish foui of spades brought on the attack of heuit falluie, I always deny that I'm supeistltlotib, but peihnps I am, for since that evening I've never been nble to bring myself to touch cards again."

Piotest Against Its Forcible Wed ding to Utilitarian Purposes. Fiom the Toionto Globe. Civilization Is passing over the face of the continent as io3lstlessly as tho movement of the glaclews. denuding It of forests, slaughtering Us wild ani mals and birds, obliterating cory touch of natmal beautj-, degiadlng tho grandeur ot nature's handiwork, straightening nut streams, squaiing ponds and b.ijs, leveling hills and val-lej-s, nnd dlveitlng cataincts to power tunnels. Kven the catmact of Niagara will soon bo chasing Its tall In a tur bine wheel llko a caged squlnel, as far degiaded from the grandeur of Us ma jestic plunging over the picclplce Into the roaiing gorge as tho squlnel with worn toenails and denuded scalp Is de graded from tho fascinating and grace ful fieedom In which he bounded and sailed Worn limb to limb. Pitfalls aio openlng for Niagaia as tiaps arc sot for the squlnel, and inji little time the once majestic water will bo running nu endless nice in the i evolving cage. We havp not jet leached that pitch of civil ization In which the blonde that per petuates beauty and power Is melted and lolled into shoe-pegs and wijidow- rasloners. But nope springs etoinui. Ahenily we have lenined to destioy tho unapproachable and iueparable woiks of natuie that tliev mav grind pulp and inn stieet cais And piogtession is tho law of the iaco If the de.sti notion of the Xingai i cat.uact can make a town giow up that giew up sonipwheie i-c befoie or would olheivvise have grown up somcwheie else, if it can so niodiiy the struggle for existence that some will be able to lie a little longer In the morning while otheis tvlll bne to lKe a little eailler, the achievement will bo hailed ns a success. Cut how about the piopeifv rights of thoe who have gone over the oataiact In bands and thiough the whirlpool in fool-klllews? That is the only claim or protest which can have any legal standing. The fame of those who went over the falls or thiough the rapids will disappear with the cataiact Itself, and their prospects as magazine w liters and fall fair at ti action i will be blighted foi ever. They will certainly assume giounds for legal action on account of the destiuction ot the value of their piopeity without compensation. The men who have bought cameias or Invested In meny-go-iounds may also feel that they will have claims for damages. Theie may be some sjin patliy even for the tew who like to hear tho lo.ir of the cataiact and feel the piesenco of its inajestj Rut to avoid legal actions, or at least mitigate dam ago claims, It would be a stioke of genius to make piovislon tor ceitaln Niagara day.s In all futuio concessions. It would be a splendid thing to be able to announce that the XIag.ua Falls would b" turned on fiom S a. ni. till 10. io p. m. on a ceitaln date, when o euwdoiilsts would have an oppoitunlty of seeing ths gieat wonder of natuie In Its original condition. Ot com so It would destioy all revenue fiom skating link, stone quauy and other tianchirrn In tho bed ot the liver, but tlutt loss might bo no greater than the loss thiough dumngo claims If no piovislon wero made for an occasional Niagara dav. It nil tutuie concessions contain a stipulation that once a mouth the tunnels be closed and the gieat liver mado to pour over tho Ameilcan nnd How-oshoo Falls, thoio could bo peil odical Niagaia dajs, and the gloty of tho barrel and boat heioes and heio ines would remain undliumed, We could oven organize a Niagaia Old Uoyh' as sociation, At piesent tho people who saw the falls befoie tho gorge was pio faned by tiolley lines aio afraid to visit tho place for fear the plctuie in their minds would bo hrepaiably daubed and spotted, llut with a legular Niagaia day air.uigements might bo made tor the suspension of all concessions. Tho cataiact could also bo turned on to wel come and honor distinguished vlsltois, nut, In spite of all these advantages, the value of tho wasted power and the liver bed concessions will no doubt out weigh nil arguments in favor of per manent Niagara dajs. Macaulay fore saw tho destiuction of Riltaln and tho naked flsheiman washing his nets In the Thames. Tho e.itnclj'sm piny como in another form, and Instead of the barbailan fishing In the river of ten thousand masts, no may seo the man we.ulng factory-mndo diamonds run ning his nutomobilo along tho ledgo whcie once the Niagaia toirent plunged oer Into tho goige.
