oooooooooooooooocooooooooc [Origlnal.1 One day during the reign of Louis XIV., king of France, a young man appeared at court and announced him self as Octave, Count de Terreune, who bad been missing for several years He had been serving with the army lu foreign parts and wheti the war was over did not return with the rest. H a was a handsome fellow, very pleasing In manners and speech and had no difficulty In establishing his identity at court. Tills was sufficient to cause him to be accepted by every one else. He explained his absence by saying that he laid l>cen in the military service of the king of England incognito. The count was brave, generous and excelled In all manly sports. He cared little for learning, which he had been partial to before his disappearance, but accounted for this on the ground that he had entered the ranks as a common soldier and had campaigned and messed with soldiers so long that it was a wonder he remembered how to act like a gentleman. Among the ladies of the court was Mile. Loulson de Bomperon, but twouty years of age, who was fond of listening to the adventures of the young count. Indeed, she was so captivatod with his personnel, his courage, his audacity, that she fell desperately la love with him. Her affection was returned, and by permission of the king they were betrothed. The affection of this young girl seemed to have a depressing effect on the count. At any rate, from the time of his lietrothal he was never seen to smile. The gallantry he had show n for other women ceased, and, although mauy of them were so unprincipled as to try to win him away from his Loulson, they made no Impression ou him whatever. One day there was a review of troops, at which the king, attended by his court, acted us reviewing officer. Octave and Loulson were seated on a balcony at the palace, behind the king. As one of the regiments marched past a soldier in the ranks looked up at the count and, grinning, shouted: “Hello, Comrade Devereaux!” The Incident might have passed without any serious results had not Mine, de Voisien, a woman who had received a trinket she had sent the count from Loulson, noticed It and saw In It a means of revenge. Instead of letting It pass she talked about It so Incessantly, Intimating that here was proof .hat the count was an Impostor, that the king was finally constrained to order an Investigation. Loulson was thunderstruck when her lover confessed to her that he was the son of a country gentleman who had enlisted In the army and had risen to a commission. He had served In the same army with the real count and had often been mistaken for him. Then they had become friends, and he had once in battle saved the count's life. They were together when the count was mortally wounded, and the dying man had suggested to his comrade to go to France and claim his estates, furnishing him with documentary evidence that he was what he pretended to be. “And now,” continued Octave, “I can no longer be your lover, and I no longer care what becomes of me. I ■hall confess and go to the galleys." “No,” said Loulson, “yon shall do no such thing. You have accepted what was offered yon. Involving a deception for which I forgive you. You have been true to me. and this has created an enemy hut for whom the soldier’s words might have passed without Inquiry. 1 love you too well to give you up, and If I did not I would not permit you to fall at the hands of that woman. I will take the evidence the count gave you, go to the king and convince him that you are what you represent yourself to be. If I succeed, my fortune Is sufficient for us Iwth, and you shall resign your title on the ground that I would not have you hold It under sti»plclon Mile, do Pomperon took the proofs of her lover’s Identity with the Fount de St. Luclen to the king, who was so well satisfied that he directed that the matter be dropped, but Mine, de VoUlen persisted, and at last the count, or, rather, Emile Devereaux, called for an investigation. The man who had hailed him and a dozen others testified that they had served In the ranks with Devereaux and under him after his promotion. They knew that the count had been killed, and some of them had assisted at the burial, but the count had given Devereaux one proof tbst cou'd not lie gainsaid. He had shown Devereaux a red spot on his neck that had been with him from youth and counseled him to liave Its duplies** tattooed on his own neck. This, with the documentary evidence the count had given him, proved conclusive. During all this trouble Loulson want about apparently with perfect con#* dence that her lover was what he pr* - tended to lie and that he would pro** It. lie had no sooner been acquitted than she went to the king and told him of the Injury Mme. de Voisien had sought to accomplish nnd her reaao® for doing so. The result was that Mm* de Voisien was banished from the court. As soon as nil this was accomplished Devereaux and Mile, de Pompem 8 were married and Immediately retired to her estates, he resigning hi* title and surrendering the estate* he had held to the real count's heirs, hi* wife giving It out as by her raqu** 1 ' ■luce sly* was too proud to enjoy **' tates under a suspicion that her hu* band held them wrongfully. Devereaux outlived his wife, after his death a confession was fcuod among his papers. KM.MALINE C. BURK®
