WHAT SUE WILL WEAR NOW

READ OF THE FASHIONS IN PARIS. Finlm the Burning Qaestlon Light Shade Bad Materials Coming With Great Richness of Design Spring Presses Halr-Dresslng Trains. All thonshla are just now centered on what tho spring fashions will brinjr, says the Paris edition of the New York Htmld. Khali we or shall we not have paniers? That is the question. Of course we are looking out for light materials. Graya are goinr to have the call, a3 far as I can gather. You may havo any shade oi gray you like, but giay it must be. Fur on jackets' has quite taken the place cf any other kind of trimming, and long basques are the order of the day. Ad to 6baJes of color, the latest is what is called the Fontenoy blue, in which I foem to recotrnize our old friend the electric blue. Take this and trim it with eteel a.-'sementerie, and you have one of the prettiest combinations possible. In the way of jackets, the prettiest I have seen have been of cloth, heavily trimmed with fur. There have been a preat variety oi blues and greens. Olive green cloth has been very largely used, and without doubt has been the feature of the past few weeks. Block cloth, marine blue, brown of various shades have also been largely in use. I have seen Bome of the prettiest things in the way of jackets with stripes. One of the prettiest gray dresses I have teen for some time was of quicksilver gray, trimmed with velvet, and with artistic black guipure and bilk embroidery. The fkirt of cloth with an embroidered tablier. The cor-aco pointed, with attached basques of art guipure, stopping at tach pide. of the back. The front is draped en fcchu, openinnovera front of velvet, which terminates with a false corselet of guipure. The belt of clcth, opening in V shape. Ftsrtin from under the arm, tightening the ticini, and closing at the center of the front with a tleur-d-lys of black diamonds. The fleeyes of velvet, with the top open in a slashing of art guipure. Lisht materials are, of course, to the front. Let me give yon for an example of a pretty costume a light woolen material of i ink brown and velvet, spotted with black, and an inset of black velvet. The fkirt of woolen material, draped at the front and trimmed on th left with a pekined dart. The corsage drawn into the figure with a gerbe of pleats. The top open and rounded over an inset of velvet, which is attached to the lining of tin; cor-t-a-je and finishing with a high collar of velvet The sides of the corsage of biased pc-kin which form the basques. The eleeves close, of pekin, with the top full. Around the waist velvet ribton. One of the latest designs in the way of b riding habit, winch is supposed to give the rider r erfei 1 tafety from catching:, difi rs very little in appearance from the ordinary habit of the day. Its peculiarity consis'.s in the way that the portion of the under f-i te which is cut away to allow for the i ommelj is concealed when tne rider is mounted. The arr.;ii2einent is an exceedingly simple one. This skirt is opened up on the underbids as many of the other safety t-kirts are, and only a very email piece cut out, somewhat of horseshoe shape, at the top of the opening. On to thw is stitched h shaped flap of cloth, which, when in position, tils over the left leg from the knee up word, so as practically to convert the habit into a trouser f?o far as the right leg is concerned, A strap and buckle, to which a lorg tape is attached, fasten this flap to the hand of the habit on the left side w hen the rider is seated. Before dismounting, this strap is unfastened from the band and allowed to drop, th-j tape preventing its falling down altogether out of reach, and the effect when the lady is standing is to conceal the opening which, is generally so unsightly in safety habits. A part of the arrangement is a band of clastic which fastens round the left knee to keep the Labit in its place, and id fitted with a split ring and swivel, which gives way on any pressure. At a recent wedding there were come really charming bridesmaids' hats, made of the most delicate tiut of heliotrope niousselice chiffon, very well drawn, for there is a great art in gathering thin toft material ou wire. They were trimmed with two tones of violet in dark and light f haded velvet, with osprays to match, and each one was bent to suit the face of the wearer; a band of gold salon encircled the crown. The y were to be worn with cream woollen crepe gowns, having bongaline fleeve3 of the heliotrope. The bride had a stviish gray velvet hat with broad orim, turning up at the back, ribbon encircling the crown and a plume of feathers in the rear. A pretty bonnet worn on the auspicious occasion was bordered with gray velvet, inclosing a crown of white cloth. " A charming black bonnet, with a crimped straw crown, illustrated a new model. At the back it was turned up with a V shaped piece of straw outlined with flowers, which rested on the back of the bonnet; the front was bordered with a cowshp wreath, and the feathers were osprey tipped, recalling the bird of Paradise. A black dyed Tuscan had been quaintly plaited, and the crown raised with a rouleau of heliotrope velvet threaded through the plaits. The jeweled pesseraenterie and jeweled butterflies had been applied to a black tulle bonnet resting lizhtly on the head, and a flat hat, with the crown raised at the back, but the best part of the brim was composed of black guipure laid over gold gauze. 1 oques are much worn and truly useful ; with a really charming pattern, which by the addition of narrow velvet ttrings from the back, id easily converted into a bonnet. A large gray felt hat was covered with white plumes; a band of felt next the crown apparently forming a second miniaturo brim. Ihe question of hairdressing is always one of the most i:ncrtant to a woman who pretends to be stylish. The Greek ptyle is just now very much a la vogue. A particular handsome coiffure of "the kind is formed with barrettes of galon of f:oid, with Greek pattern in stones and ittle fantasy pinn. The second coiffure is ornamented with gold cord. A very pretty little spring costume is made of mouspeline de laine, of pekined foulard of cendre de rose of two tones and white print on it. The skirt is open on the front eu tablier of white surah, held in by ribbons of white eatin, which arc tied in double at the foot of the front. Two rows ot guipure. One of these rows eoes ail around the f-kirt, which is mounted behind with a little gathered train. The corsage draped in front without darts, open over a front cf white surah. Basque and collarette of guipure. A bow of white satin at the neck and. waist. The sleeves higrh shouldered and narrow at the wrists, with decorations of guipure. Toque of cream aicilienne, ornamented with jigrements embroidered in gold, with airette of jt posed at the back. Strings cf cream ticilieone. The train appears once more to have asserted its sway. They are not, however,

,broad, but long and thin, and should by no means be allowed to extend themselves out. All trains nowadays are made in piece with the skirt. A very handsome reception dress is made of amethist faille, which is trimmed with passementerie and fringes of black silk, beaded with cold. The fckirt is of faille, with a starisht tablier, which is terminated with a design of passementerie, terminated by a fringe. The corsage with points, with a high belt of passementerie, which starts from under the arm opening in a V shape, and is terminated with a fringe. The corsage is composed of the back, sides of back and sides of front, closing at the center, and draped to the figure in the form of pleats. A Medicis collar of passemen'erie which runs down the edge of the front. The sleeves of passementerie which rises up on the shoulder. lleaun of silver embroidery, with turban of iris velvet. On the front, a bird which forms an aigrette. Fashion Go.np. A favorite method of shampooing tho hair is with the use of an egg. It leaves the hair soft and glossy and produces an effect which cannot be obtained when any of the washes containing borax or 6oda are used. For eome time little tables have been in use for holding the fancy lamps so much in vogue. .Now one can obtain little stands, four or five inches in bight, for holding the reading lamps which are now used almost entirely for reading and sewinjr purposes. If you have a pretty white hand and follow all the fancies and foilies of fashion you must wear one or two court-nlaster patche on one of your hands. This will certainly attract attention to your hands, which sometimes a display ot handsome jewels fails to do, and so the object aimed at is accomplished. The light canary colored suede gloves are much worn at present with evening gowns and are crowding out of favor the long-time favorite tan 6hades. These gloves are stitched either with white or black. When stitched with black they make a pretty bit of contrast worn with a black evening gown. Long cloaks are quite a feature in the early spring fashions. These coats have the advantage of being usually becoming and economical, making comfortable traveling cloaks for the late spring and summer tours. A dark shade of this cloth is a favorite selection for the cloaks. Such a coat is made with a cape extending to or below the waist line with a shade of dark red si k and finished with a narrow binding of guld braid. Many women now wear colored skirts with street gowns. Some of these are elaborate and dainty and are many steps removed from the old-fashioned and clumsy balmoral. For winter weather these skirts are generally made of quilted gntin of some dark shade and are attached to a yoke to lessen their clumsiness about the hips. For milder weather these skirts are made of a light weight changeable silk, the wine-colored and blue shades being preferred. Two or three narrow pink ruffles finish the bottom, and at the knees the fullness is held back by a shirring. Heady-made they cost from $15 to S-0, but the cost is much le63 when they are manufactured at home.

A RUSSIAN FAMILY. How Little Tr utl. ltxtween Una hand and Wife AVere Smoothed Over. A wealthy land-owner in one of the suburbs of Odessa, pays a papi-r of that city, married a woman of thirty years while he was fifty. They lived peacefully together for a short time, but soon they besan quarreling and often exchanged blows. A few weeks ago they indulged themselves in a tight bv which the good lady got worsted. She had an arm dislocated and was sent to the hospital, where she remained about three weeks. When she got well again she went home. Her husband, meeting her at the entrance, asked with a smile: "Are you quite well again, my dear?" "Oh, dear, yes," answered the woman ; "I am so far recovered that I feel strong enough to send you to the place from which I am coming." And before the husband had time to appreciate the full meaning of this answer, he was lying bleeding on the floor, w ith his jaw broken. He is now in the hospital, occupying the bed vacated by his wife. He flatly refuses, however, to bring an action against her in the court, or even to seek a separation from her. "Such little troubles between himband and wile," he said, speaking with one side of his mouth, "must not be taken fo seriously in practical life." Two (inhiets.

(Won Budget. The origin of the name "America" has recently been discussed by the Ideographical eociety of Eerlin. .ome held that it came from a range of mountains in Central America called by the natives Amerique, and that Vespucci wai not called Amerigo, as it is not a name in the saint calendar of Italy. They asserted that he changed his name from Alberigo to Amerigo after the latter was coming into use as a name for the western world. Signor (iovi, however, has proved that Alberico, in the Florentine language is identical with Amerigo, and a letter of Vespucci, dated l"00, found recently in the archives of the Duke of Oonzagoat Mantua, shows that he sometimes subscribed himself Amerigo. Moreover, the natives call the mountains Amerisque, not Amerique, so that the question may be considered settled in favor of the personal name. Not Ho Easy to Suit. , Texas Sittings.

THE SUBSTITUTE. He was scarcely ten years old when he was first arrested as a vagabond. He spoke thus to the Judge : "I am called Jean Francois Leturc, and for six months I was with tho man who sings and plays upon a cord of catgut between the lanterns at the Place de la Bastille. I sang the refrain with him, and after that I called 'Here's all tho new songs, ten centimes, two sous!' He was always drunk, and used to beat me. That is why the police picked me up the other night. Before that I was with the man who sells brushes. My mother was a laundress; her name was Adele. At one time she lived with a man on the ground floor at Montmartre. Fhe was a Rood workwoman and liked me. She made money, because she had for customers waiters in the cafes, and they use a good deal of linen. On Sundays she used to put me to bed early so that she could go to the ball. On week days ehe sent me to Les Freres, where I learned to read. Well, the Sergeant do Yille w hose beat was in our streets used always to stop before our windows to talk with her a good-looking chap, with a medal from the Crimea. They were married, and after that everything went wrong. He didn't take to me and turned mottier against me. F.vcry one had a blow for me, and so, to get out of the house, I spent whole days in the Place Clinchy, where I knew the mountebanks. My Tather-in-law lost his place and my mother her work. She used to go out washing to take care of him ; this gave her a cough the steam. 2?he is dead at LumboUiere. She was a good woman. Since that I have lived with tho seller of brushes and the catgut scraper. Are you going to send mc to prison?" He said this openly, cynically, like a man. He was a little ragged street arab as tall as a boot, his forehead bidden under a queer mop of yellow hair. Nobody claimed him. and they sent him to the retorm school. Not very intelligent, idle, clumsy with his hands, the only trade he couid learn there was not a good one that of reseating straw chairs. However, he was obedient, nauraliy quiet and silent, and he did not seem to "be profoundly corrupted by that school of vice. lint when, in his seventeenth year, he was thrown out again on the streets of Paris, he unhappily found there his prison comrades, all great 6camps, exercising their dirty professions teaching dos to catch rats in the sewers, and blacking shoes on ball nights in the passage of the opera amateur wrestlers, w ho permitted themselves to be throw" by the Hercules of the booths or fishing ; t noontime from rafts; all of these occupations he followed to some extent, and, some months after he came out of the house of correction, he was arrested again for a petty theft a pair of old shoes prigged from a shop window. Itesnlt: A year in the prison of Sainte Pelagie, where he served as valet to the political prisoners. He lived in much surpri-e among this group of prisoners, all very young, negligent in dress, who talked in ioud voices, and carried their heads in a very solemn fashion. They used to meet in the cell of one of the oldest of them, a fellow of some thirty years, already a longtime in prison and quite a fixture at Sainte Pelagie a large cell, the walls cohered with colored caricatures, and from the window of which one could see all Paris its roofs, its spires and its domes and, far away, the distant line of hills, blue and indistinct upon the sky. There were upon the walls some shelves filled with volumes and all the old paraphernalia of a fencing room ; broken masks, rusty foils, breastplates, and gloves that were losing their tow. It was there that the "politicians" used to dine together, adding to the everlasting "soup and beef," fruit, cheese and pints of wine which Jean Francois went out and got by the can a tumultuous repast interrupted by violent disputes, and vhere,duringthedessert,the "Carmagnole" and "Ca Ira" were sung in full chorus. They assumed, however, an air of great dignity on those days when a new-comer was brought in amongst them, at first entertaining him gravely as a citizen, but on the morrow using him with affectionate familiarity, and calling him by his nickname. Great words were used there: Corporation, responsibility and phrases quite unintelligible to Jean Francois such as this, for example, w hich he once heard imperiously put forth by a frightful little hunchback who blotted some writing paper every night: "It is done. This is the composition of the cabinet: Raymond, the bureau of public instruction ; Martial, the interior; and foreign atlairs, myself." His time done, he wandered again around Paris, watched afar by the police, after the fashion of cockchafes made by cruel children to lly at the end of a string. He became one of those fugitive and timid beings whom the law, with a sort of coquetry, arrests and releases bv turn something like those platonic fishers who, in order that they may not exhaust their fish-pori'i, throw immediately back in the water the tish which has just come out of the net. Without a suspicion on his part that so much honor hai been done to so sorry a subject, he had a special bundle of memoranda in the mysterious portfolios of the Kue de Jerusalem. His name was written in round hand on the gray papor of the cover, and the notes and reports, carefully classified, gave hiruhia successive appellations: "Name, l-eturc;'' "the prisoner Leturc," and, at last, "tbe criminal i-eturc." 'He w as two vears out of prison, I lining where be could, sleeping in night lodging houses and sometimes in limekilns and taking part with his fellows in interminable games of pitch-pennv on the boulevards near the barriers. lie wore a greasy cap on the back of his head, carpet s ippers and a short white blouse. When he bad five sous he had his hair curled. He danced at Constant's at Montparnasse ; bought for two sous to sell for four at the door of Hobmo, the jack of hearts or the ace of clubs serving as a countermark ; sometimes opened the door of a carriage: led horses to the horse Jiarket. From the lottery of all sorts of miserable employments he drew a goodly number. Who can say if the atmosphere of honor which one breathes as a soldier, if military discipline might not have saved him. Taken, in a cast of the net with eome young loafers w ho robbed drunkards sleeping on the streets, he denied very earnestly having taken part in their expeditions-. Perhaps ho told the truth, but his antecedents were accepted in. lieu of proof, and he w as sent for three years to Poissy. There he made coarse p aythings for children, was tattooed on the chest, learned thieves' slaug and the penal code. A new liberation and a new plunge into the sink of Paris, but very short this lime, for at the end of six months at the most he was again comfromised in a night robbery, aggravated y climbing and breaking a serious affair, in which he played an obscure role, half dupe and half fence. On the whole, his complicity was evident, and he was sent for Hve years at hard labor. His prief in -is adventure was above all in being separated from an old dog which he had found on a dung heap and cured of the mange. The beast loved him. Toulon, the ball and chain, the work in the harbor, tho blows from a stick, wooden

shoes on bare feet, soup of black beans dating froin Trafalgar, no tobacco money and tne terrible sleep in a camp awariidng with convicts; that was what he experienced for five broiling summers and live winters raw with the Mediterranean wind. He came out from there stunned, was sent under surveillance to Vernon, where he worked some time on the river. Then, an incorrigible vagabond, he broke his exile and came again to Paris. He had his savings, 56f., that is to say, time enough for reflection. During his absence his former wretched companions had dispersed. Ho was well hidden and slept in a loft at an old woman's, to whom he represented himself as a sailor, tired of the sea, who bad lost his papers in a recent shipwreck, and who wanted to tr)- his hand at something else. His tanned face and his calloused hands, together with some sea phrases which be dropped from time to time, made his tale seem probable euough. One day when he risked a saunter in the streets, and when chance had led him as far as Montmartre, where he was boru, anuncxpcctci memory stopped himjbefore the door of Les Freres. where he had learned to read. As it was very warm the door was open, and by single glance the passing outcast was able to recognize the peaceable schoolroom. Nothing was changed ; neither the bright light shining in at the great windows, nor the crurifix over the desk, nor the rows of benches with the tabbs furnished with inkstands and pencils, nor the table of weights and measures, nor the map where pins stuck in still indicated the operation of some ancient war. Heedlessly nnd without thinking, Jean Francois read on the blackboard of the words of the evangelist which had been set there as a copy : 'Joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repeuteth, more t han over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance. It was undoubtedly the hour for recreation, for the brother professor had left his chair, and sitting on the edge of a table, he was telling a story to the boys w ho surroundod him with eager and attentive eyes. What a bright and innocent face he had, that beardless . young man, in his long, black gown, and white necktie, and great ugly shoes, and his badly-cut brow n hair streaming out behind! All the simple figures of the children of the people who were watching hitn seemed scarcely less childlike than his; above all, when delighted with some of his own simple and priestly pleasantries, lie broke out in an open anil frank peal of laughter which show ed his white and regular teeth, a peal so contagious that nil the scholars laughed loudly in their turn. It wrs such a sweet, simple group in the brightsnnlight, which lighted their dear eyes and their blonde curls. Jean Francois looked at them for some time in silence, and for the first time in that savage nature, all instinct and appetite, there awoke a mysterious, a tender emotion. Hi? heart, that seared and hardened heart, unmoved when the convict's cudgel or the heavy whip of the watchman fell on his shoulders, beat oppressively. In that eight he saw again his infancy; and closing his eyes sadly, the prey to torturing regret, he walked quickly away. Tnen the words written on the blackboard came back to his mind. "If it wasn't too late, after all !'' he murmured; "if I could again, like others, eat honestly the brown bread and sleep my till without nightmare. Tho gpy must be sharp who recognizes' me. My beard, which I shaved off down there, has grown out thick and 6trorg. One can burrow somewhere in the great anthill and work can be found. Whoever is not worked to death in the hell of the galleys comes out agile and robust, and I learned there to ciimb ropes with loads upon my back, lluilding is going on everywhere here and the masons need helpers. Three francs a day! 1 never earned jso much. Let me bo forgotten, nnd that is all 1 ask." He followed his courageous resolution ; he was faithful to it, and after three months he was another man. The master for whom he worked called him his best workman. Alter a long day upon the scaffolding, in the hot sun and the dust, constantly bending and raising his back to take the hod from the man at his feet and fass it to the man over his head, ho went or his soup to the cookshop, tired out, his legs aching, his hands burning, his eyelids stuck with plaster, but content with himself, and carrying his well-earned money in a knot in his handkerchief.' He went out now without fear, since he could not be recognized in his white mask, and since he had noticed that the suspicious glances of the policeman were soldom turned on the tired workman. He was quiet and sober. He slept tho sound sleep of fatigue. He was free. At last oh, supreme recompense he had a friend! He was a fellow-workman like himself, named Savinien, a little peasant with red lips who had come to Paris w ith his stick over his shoulder and a bundle on the end of it, fleeing from the wine shops and going to mass every Sunday. Jean Francois loved him for his piety, for his candor, for his honest)-, for all that he himself had lost, and so long ago. It was a passion, J profound and unrestrained, which transormed him by fatherly cares and attentions. Savinien, himself of a weak and egotistical nature, let things take their course, satisfied only in rinding a companion who shared his horror of the wine fchop. The two friends lived together in a fairly comfortable lodging, but their resources were very limited. They were obliged to take into their room a third companion, an :ld Auvergnat, gloomy and rapacious, who found it j ssible outof his meagre salary to favo something with which to buy a place in his ow n country. Jean Francois and Savinien were always together. On holidays they together took long walks in the environs of Paris, and dined under an arbor in one of those small country inns w here there are a great many mushroom in the sauces and innocent rebuses on tho napkins. There Jean Francois learned from "his friend all that lore of which they who are born in the city are ignorant; learned the names of the trees, the flowers, and the plants; the various seasons for harvesting; he heard eagerly the thousand details of a laborious country life the autumn sow ing, the winter chores, the splendid celebrations of harvest and vintage days, tho eound of the mills at tho water side, and the flails striking the ground, the tired horses led to water, and the hunting in the morning mist; and, abfive all, the long evenings around the fire of vine shoots, that were shortened by 6ome marvelous stories. He discovered in himself a source of imagination before unknown, and found a singular delight in the recital of events so placid, so calm, so monotonous. One thing troubled him, however; it was the fear lest Savinien might, learn something of bis past. Sometimes there escaped from him eome low word of thieves' slang, a vulgar gestun vestiges of his former horrible existence and bo felt the pain one feels when old wounds reopen ; the more because he fancied that he sometimes saw in Savinien the awakening of an unhealthy curiosity. When the young man, already tempted by the pleasures which Paris offers to the poorest, asked him about the mysteries of the great city, Jean Francois feigned ignorance and turned the subject; but he felt a vague inquietude for the iuturo of his friend. " ' ' His uneasiness was not without foundation. Savinien could not long remain the simple rustic that ho was on his arrival in Taris. If the gross and no sy pleasures of the wine shop always repelled him, he was profoundly troubled by other temptations, full of danger for the inexperience 4 bis twenty years. When spring came

he began to go off alone, and at first be wandered about the brilliant entrance of some dancing hall, watchina the young girls who went with their arms around each other's waists, talking in low tones. Then, one evening, when lilacs perfumed the air and the cad to quadrilles was most captivating, he crossed the threshold, and from that time Jean Francois observed a change, little by little, in his manners and his visage, lie became more frivolous, more extravagant. He often borrowed from his friend his scanty savings, and he forgot to repay. Jean Francois, feeling that he was abandoned, jealous and forgiving at the same time, eutfered and was bilent. He felt that he had no right to reproach him, but with the foresight of atlection he indulged in cruel and inevitable presentiments. One evening;, as he was mounting the stairs to his room absorbed in his thoughts, he heard, as be was about to enter, the sound of angry voices, and he recognized that of the old Auvergnat who lodged with Savinien and himself. An old habit of suspicion made him stop at the landing placo and listen to learn tho cause of tbe trouble. "Yes," said the Auvergnat angrily, "I am fure that some one has opened my trunk and stolen from it the three Ion is that I had hidden in a little box, and he who has done this thing must le one of the two companions who sleep here, if it were not the servant Maria. It concerns you as much as it does me. since you are the master of the house, and I will drag you to the courts if you do not let me at once break open the valises of the two masons. My poor gold! It was hero yesterdav in its place, and I will tell you just what it was, eo that if we find it again nobody can accuso me of having lied. Ah. I know them, my three beautiful gold pieces, and I can see them as plainly as I see you ! One piece was more, worn than the others; it was of greenish gold, with a portrait of the great emperor. The other was a great old fellow, with a cue and epaulets, and the third, which had on it a Philippe with whiskers, I had marked with my teeth. They don't trick me. Do vou know that I only wanted two more like that to pay for my vineyard? Come, search these fellows' things with me or I wid call the police! Hurry up !" "All right, ' said the voice of the landlord ; "we will go and search with Maria. So much the worse for you if we find nothing anil the masons get angry. You have forced me to it." Jean Francois's soul was full of fright. He remembered the embarrassed circumstances and the small loans of Savinien, and how sober he had seemed for some (lays. And yet be could not believe that he was a thief. He heard the Auvergnat fianting in his eager search, and he pressed lis closed fists a.'ainsi his breast as if to stiil the furjous bcting of his heart. "Here they are!" suddenly shouted the victorious miser. "Here they are, my louis, my dear treasurer and in the Sunday vest of that litt'e hypocrite of Limousin ! Look, landlord, they are just as I told you. Here is the Napoleon, the man with a cue, and the Philippe that I have bitten. See the dent? Ah, the little beggar with the sanefified air. I should have much sooner suspected the other. Ah, the wretch! Well, he must go to the convict prison." At this moment Jean Francois heard the well-known step of Savinien coming siowly up tiie stairs. "He is going to his destruction !" I bought he. "Three stories. I have time!" And, pushing open the door, he entered the room, pale a.s death, where be mw the landlord and the servant stupefied in a corner, while the Auvengnat, on his knees in the disordered bean of clothes, was kissing tho pieces of gold. "Knougtwf this." he said, in a thick voice; "Itook the money and put it in my comrade's trunk. Put that is too bad. I am a thief, but not a Judas. Call the police; I will hot try to escape, only I must sav a word to Savinien in private. Here be' is." In fact, the little Limousin had just arrived, and, seeing his crime discovered, believing himself lost, he stood there, his eyes fixed, his arm hanging. . Jean Francois seized him forcibly by the neck, as if to embrace him; be put his mouth elose to Savinien's ear and said to him in a low, supplicating voice: "Keep quiet!" Then, turning toward the others: "Leave me alone with him. I tell you I won't go away. Lock us in if you wish, but leave us alone." With a commanding gesture he sho'wed them the door. They went out. Savinien, broken by grief, was sitting on the bed. and lowered his eyes without understanding anything. "Listen." said Jean Francois, who canie and took him by tho hands. "I understand! You have stolen three gold pieces to buy so i e trifles for a girl. That costs six months in prison. Iut one only comes out from theie to go back again, and you will become a pil ar of police courts and tribunals. . I understand it, I have been seven years at the reform 6chooI, a year at Sainte Pelagie, three years at Poissy, five years at Toulon. Now, don't ho afraid. Everything is arranged. I have taken it on my shoulders." "It is dreadful!" said Savinien ; . but hope was springing up again in his cowardly heart. "When the eider brother is under tho flag the younger one does not go," replied Jean Francois. "I am your substitute, that's all. You care for me a littie, do you not? I am paid. Pon't be childish don't refuse. They would have taken me again one of these days, for I am a runaway from exile. And then, do you see, that life will be less hard for me than for vou. I know it all, and I shall not corn-

lain if I have not done vou this service or nothing, and if you swear to me that ycu will never do it again. Savinien, I have loved you well, and your friendship has made me happy. It is through it that, since I have known you, I have been honest and pure, as I might always have been, perhaps, if I had had, like, you, a father to put atoolinmy hands. a mother to teach me my prayers. It w.is my sole regret that I was useless to you, and that I deceived you concerning myself. Today I have unmasked in saving you. It is all right. Do not cry, and embrace me, for already I hear heavy boots on the stairs. They are coming with the posse and we must not seem to know each other so well before those chaps." He pressed Savinien quickly to bis breast, then pushed him from him, when tbe door was thrown wide open. It was the landlord and the Auvergnat who brought the police. Jean Francois sprang forward to the landing place, held out his hands for the handcurts, and said, laughing, "Forward, bad lot." Today he is at Cayenne, condemned for life as an incorrigible. Tb Small Hoy's Kerelntion. Atlanta Constitution.! , It is the small boy who usually tells things, and the dinner table is his favorite theater. Not long ago a bright little fellow out on Peachtree-st. peered over into the dish at the head of the table, and exclaimed: "What a little chicken for so many people?" The company smiled surreptitiously, and his mother endeavored to quiet him. Put he was like lfanouo's ghost. After they had all been helped and were stating his face suddenly lit up, and, clapping his hands, he hou'ed : 'Oh, ye-, I know now, mamma. This is the little chicken that was sick bo long in the yard, ain't it?"
