tune of I'aul Jones to share In a con
versation touching a French naval eiK

the duchess bad borne a conspicuous
part and to defend and explain his
maneuvers on that occasion, showing
a knowledge of every ship and every
captain engaged and winning on tbe
spot the ardent personal adherence of

At the close of the feast she present

Jusf before it enihil lie reminded her
of her gift and bis promise. A servant
was sent to his room and returned
with a long leather case, which the

nnd eager curiosity of the company.
"Your royal bl-'hiicss perceives the
Impossibility of keeping my promise
In kind." explained the knight of the
