I i I I I M 1 i 1 I > i i I ! i I 1 M"l't The French Ojieru House was ablaze with light. Outside au eager crowd drauk lu the beauties that ulighted from carriages nud ran lightly up the stairway to a gorgeous palace of light within. Suddenly there was a stir. Muie. Lafayette drove up. Her gray haired coachman climbed ponderously down and threw ojien the door for mad am to alight. In her undent bluck silk dress, with its voluminous truln and decorations of rare old lace she might have passed for a dowager duchess. She was followed by a slim slip of a girl in a white dress that bespoke mad am's antebellum ideas of style. "Ah, there ees l.ucleu now," madam breathed in an agitated tone of relief as an old man quickly pushed his way through the crowd to her side. The three passed up the broad stairs and disappeared within. ? ?????? None of the carnival balls is more gorgeous than I'roteus. And to the girl who was seeing It for the tlrst time the scene was of "Arabian Night" splendor. She was leaning on her elbow, drinking in all the tropical beauty in the ballroom below. The maskers flit ted to and fro, bestowing favors on ex pectant maidens waiting to be "called out." A very gorgeous young Borneo leaned against a friendly column near the throne on the stage below and sur veyed the crowd with indifferent eyes. It was such an old thing to him; he was tired of it all. "Buds, buds, buds!" he muttered to himself. "The years come; the years go"? Suddenly his eyes rested on stately Mine. Lafayette. It was the first time In ten years that she had attended a carnival ball. What did It mean? Since Gerald, her youngest son, died ten years before she hud not crossed her threshold to go out into the world. Gerald had been his dearest friend. He must hasten to pay his respects to madam. And then his eyes fell on the girl beside her. It was a face like a wild rose?a face that told its own story. This was her first carnival ball, and she was living only in seeing the others enjoy it. She leaned far over the railing of the box and kept time un consciously with the music of the waltz. Madam's old place had been usurped. Ten years ago her box would have been crowded. Now It was emp ty, except for the three?herself, her ancient brother and the young girl. Borneo saw at a glance that madam re gretted having come. He forgot his ennui In the sudden scheme that presented itself to his mind. He would make the little wild rose enjoy herself. He beckoned to an usher who knew madam and con fided in him. A whispered consults- | tlon provided for a possible disappoint ment. Then the sympathetic old man who had "called out" so many belles wended his way upstairs to bring the little wild rose down. Madam remembered him. Had he not been on the committee for years? She presented him to her niece, Eu genie Del Fete. He delivered his mes sage. He had been commanded by Borneo of the most noble house of Montague to come for the young lady who accompanied madam. Surely she would not disappoint so noble a youth whose evening's pleasure lay in the prospect of being allowed to honor her with his attentions. Madam was all smiles. The girl rose, half timidly, playfully tapped by madam's fan, and encouraged by madam's sudden rise of spirits to accompany him. "But this Is such an unexpected hon or," she murmured to the friendly old guide as they descended the steps. "Believe me, I came ouly as a specta tor." n is narieniig 10 ue uui iu so much beauty," he replied. "Anil Itomeo is considered a connoisseur, man'selle. The queen herself would be gratified at bis admiration." Itonico bowed low before her, and more than one turned to smile indul gently on the contrast they made, he splendid in lavender velvet and pink satin and she so unconscious of her qunint beauty in her simple white frock. "You will dance?" he asked In an eager voice that he might have recog nized as his own ten years ago, but which now sounded strangely unfamil iar. "A person with your eyes couldn't resist that music." She hesitated, toying with her fan. lie understood her momentary confu sion. "It is the privilege of a masker," he explained quickly, "to pay as many compliments as he wishes so long as they are true, Juliet. I may call you Juliet, may I not?" Between the dances Tom MeGrath, blnse bachelor that he was, had not time to realize what was happening to his heart. Somehow this girl, with her soft gray eyes, affected him In a way he had not been touched for a long time. An hour ago he was tired of the world. lie was voting the universe a bore and carnival balls In particular a nuisance. Now he wns listening?and interested?whIU (he girl told him about madam's yellow roses that were trying to bloom themselves to death In the garden in the middle of February. "Oh. yes, I remember," he Interrupt ed eagerly. "It has lieen a long time since I have been to see madam, but I remember that garden. The wall Is It there yet? And is It as steep as ever? Steve and I have sacrifleed many a kneecap tr) ilk to climb over It." "II ii under the wall that the rose* g' v. ." she began impulsively. "Hon't j oil r- .111*111 bor that little eoruer where the it all is grayest with age"? "There used to he a marble sent there," he interrupted boyishly, "and a t'upld with a quiver and a bow." "Suck au old, old t'upld!" the girl laughed softly. "The years have rnudo liiui gray." "That Cupid!" he said. "I should like j to see the old fellow again." lie was looking down into the face beside him. "You are from madam's old home up the river, aren't you?" he hazarded, j "You are going to lie here some time, ( ?are you not?" The baehelor had fled. A little boy was begging a little girl j not to go home for awhile. "I'osslbly a month." she replied. "She | Is so lonely!" with a glauoe up toward the baleouy where madam sat. "We must show her a better time," j he whispered, "you aud I." The house was almost deserted. Far i above, In the highest gallery, the lust notes of "Home, Sweet Home," were dying away. Romeo, still in his mask and domino, stooped to kiss madam's hand. "Ah, madam," he sighed happily, "may I not serenade my love In your garden tonight?" Eugenie blushed and tried to hurry madam Into her eloak. "That depends"?madam smiled jubi lantly, fathoming the secret?"that de pends altogether on who you are, sir." "Romeo, of the most noble house of Montague," bowing low, "and much tormented with love for this maid. To morrow night I shall crave admittance at your gate, dear lady." Madam tapped him with her fan. "Well, well, well," she laughed, her old ric h, melodious laugh, "and 1 suppose I shall have to see that you are admit ted, Sir Impudence." A month later the gray wall was fairly gilded with yellow roses. Cupid, with a new washed face, pointed his bow directly at two persons on the marble seat. "Eugenie," the man whispered, "see the miracle. My life was that dull, gray wall. You are the roses that have glorified it." "Y'ou really love me so much, Tom?" half wistfully. "You will never be tired"? Cupid, being marble, made no com ment 011 the answer that interrupted her speech before It was half finished, but madam from her vantage point be hind the lace curtains in the back par lor confided to her knitting needles: "He ees th' valry best catch in Nuaw 'Leens." Wyle'n Island Stntne. English people cling to their tradi tions and antiquities long after they have ceased to possess any definite In terest. One of the curios of Wiltshire is a statue in the middle of a river at Wyle. Vpon a pedestal near a1 bridge is a statue of the conductor of a coach blowing upon ills horn. The statue bears every mark of antiquity?indeed, It is so old that no one knows just ex actly what it is intended to commemo rate, although there is nn unverified legend that it Is intended to keep in mind the memory of some accident oc curring at that point. According to some, the bridge was wrecked and many were saved through the brave ef forts of the conductor, while according to other accounts the bridge went down In a flood and all were lost In the angry waters. No matter what the original Intention was, it possesses a modem interest as being the only statue erect ed in the middle of a river and as such Is regarded with more than local Inter est. Several t'mes it has been found necessary to make repairs to the pedes tal, and the money has been cheerfully provided, the town realizing the value of this relic of the past. A Clever Chief of Police. A magistrate of Lyons once said that he was sure lie could enter I'nris with out the knowledge of M. Sartines, the chief of the I'aris police. "Don't be too sure," said that gentleman. Six months afterward the magistrate had occasion to visit the capital. He recollected his conversation. He left Lyons mysteriously, entered Paris at night and took a lodging in a false name in an obscure quarter. At dawn of dny n liveried servant awoke him In his hand was a letter. It was an Invitation to dine that dny with M. Sar tines. But Sartines hnd other qualities be sides having a hundred eyes. He was bold and humane, firm and charitable. A terrible emeute held possession of the Place Maubert. He' marched upou It with a powerful force and after pre senting arms whispered to a young offi cer who advanced to the crowd. "CJen tiemcn," said he, using the words whis pered by his chief, "we come here In the nnnie of the king, but we have or ders to tire on In canaille. I lieg all honest people to retire before we act." In five minutes not a rioter remained. Tlte I'.e of Tohnceo.

WILL BRAVE ARCTIC DANGERS. Maine Schoolteacher Who Helped l:\plorer In Ilia I'lana I'reuicta Ilia Success and Has Provided lleraelf With complete Uutht?Will Cook Alter Installation of Wireless Tele graph Apparatus and Operate It. i I,ove for adventure aud a desire to be the first wouiau to reach the north pole have caused Miss Mamie Babb j to abandon si-ho d teaclilns to sail, she says, with Lieutenant i'ommander \ Hubert L. Peary in his quest of the north pole. From the [>eak of the ex plorer's new steamer will fioat an American fiat; presented to Miss Habb by her pupils at the little school at North Harps well, Me., says a special dispatch from Norway, Me., to the New York World. "What danger can there be In such a Journey?" she asks when the perils of an arctic trip are pointed out to her by relatives wbo are opposed to ber going. "No one need have fears for our safety. I shall be the first woman to reach the polo, because I know Mr. Peary will find It this time." Mrs. Peary and her daughter Murie, twelve years old, will also be passen gers on the Roosevelt, but they will re turn home when the steamer arrives at the point where relief supply stations are to be established. Miss Babb says she will stick to the ship until the end. "If the men stand the trip, I guess I can," she says. Miss Babb is thirty years old, tall and handsome. For several years she has lived with an uncle and uunt at Westbrook, who are greatly averse to the trip she Is about to take. Miss Babb has always been a friend of Mrs. Peary and as stenographer has done much of Lieutenant Peary's cler ical work. She has read much about the frozen regions. She has prepared maps and routes' for the coming trip, and all have been approved by Mr. Peary when submitted to him for ex amination. When Peary came to Maine last year to make arrangements with the ship yards for the construction of the Roosevelt he called upon Miss Babb ] and explained tq her in great detail what he intetnded to do on his next dash to the pole. Invariably any changes in the itinerary which Miss Babb made were heeded by Peary, who submitted the revised details to the Arctic Club of North America, which is financing the trip. The offi cials of that organization unhesitat ingly jiut their "O. K." on the plans. After Peary's second attempt to reach the pole failed he abandoned tin project, thinking that it would be Im possible to get another leave of ab sence from the secretary of the navy. Miss Babb counseled against his re solve and, taking the matter in her own hands, obtained the secretary's consent for another leave of absence. Then it was that Miss Babb commenc ed to think what a nice Journey the voyage would be for a woman to make. She talked with her relatives, and when she had gained the opinion of several persons she flatly told Peary that she Intended to make the trip with him if quarters could be fixed up for her 011 the Roosevelt. If not, she was going anyhow. Miss Babb will look after the Instal lation of the wireless telegraph appa ratus and will operate the instrument while In the arctic regions. She has learned telegraphy and stenography and is an expert at photography. Much of the duta concerning the trip and al! the pictures of interesting points visit ed along the line will be her work as well as all the press matter. Miss Babb was born in Sebago. Her mother died In a hospital at Portland ten years ago while Miss Babb was just finishing her education. Compelled to forsake school and earn her own living, the young woman went to the home of her uncle and aunt, Dr. and Mrs. J. L. Herr at Westbrook. They have since acted as her parents. The adventurous young womun has had made an entire outfit of clothing suitable for use in the arctic regions, even to several pairs of snowsboes. Jm?k Rnhl?1tn Acclimated. After repented failures to establish the jaek rabbit in I.ong Island covers it Is now believed that the 1-ong Island Country club tins succeeded In rnlslng the animals at Eantport after severnl years' attempts, says the New York Tribune. For the first time since the jacks were liberated at Eastport young have l>een produced, many of them be ing seen about the fields this summer. It Is believed that the changed condi tions brought about through Importing the rabbits temporarily checked their breeding, but that they will now re produce until the surrounding covers will teem with them. Several other sportsmen's clubs throughout the north may now employ the jacks for replen ishing their depleted preserves. City Control Jn Cnnmla.

A congregation iu Connecticut had lost their pastor, and were desirous of Ailing his place. Hut their last minister had been self taught, and the aristocracy?to wit: the deacons, etc.?stipulat ed that the new minister should have a classical education. In order to be sure of their man, the deacons agreed to let applicants preach a sermon on trial. The living was good, con sequently trial sermons were the order of the day. Hut as the deacons said,they knew an edu cated man from a duffer, so the living remained vacant. At last a Welshman heard of the vacancy, but he was less learned than the one who had left; still, he deter mined to try. The day was arranged, the ap pointed minute arrived, and the candidate mounted into the pul pit. He got well on his Bermon, when he suddenly recollected that he was expected to show his learning. "My friends,' he qaid, "1 will now quote vou a passage in Greek.'* YY ith a solemn look he repeat ed a verse in his native tongue. The effect was marvelous; ap proving nods and smiles were exchanged among the deacons. Thus encouraged, he followed up his advantage by saying: "Perhaps you would like to hear it in Latin?" He then repeated another pas sage in Welsh: this was even more successful than before. The preacher cast his eye oyer his flock, and saw that he was re garded with looks of increased respect. Unfortunately, there was also a Welshman in thecongregation; he was sitting at the back, al most choked in his efforts to stifle his laughter. The minis ter's eye fell on him, and took in the whole situation at a glance. Preserving his countenance, he continued: "I will also repeat it in He brew." He then sang out, in his broad est Welsh: "My dear fellow, stop laughing or they will find it out." The other understood, stifled his laughter, and afterwards dined with his successful country man.?Tit Hits Every kind of blind, bleeding, itching or protruding files or piles by what ever name or nature, are relieved by I)e Witt's Witeh Hazel Salve.
