Women Who Wear Well.

It is astonishing how great a change few years of married life often make in the appearance and disposition of many women. The freshness, the charm, the brilliance vanish like the bloom from a flower which is rudely bandied. The matron is only a dim shadow, a faint echo of the charming maiden. Few young women appreciate the shock of the system through the change which comes with marriage and motherhood. Many neglect to deal with the unpleasant pelvic drainstand weak nesses which too often come With mar riage and motherhood, not understand fng that this secret drain is robbing the cheek of its freshness and the form of its fairness. As surely as the general heath suffers when there is derangement of trie health of the delicate womanly organs Jeo surely when these organs are established in health the face and form at on witness to the fact in renewed coneliness.

COPYRIGHT. 189J. BY "Ob, master: uu. maw:-: ne crwu "Such doings! Such infamy:" As he spoke a clatter and shouting which hid burst out again upstairs ended suddenly iu a tremendous crash. with volleys of oaths and a prolonged bumping and smashing, which shook the old house to its foundations. The soldier and the Huguenot rushed swift ly up the first Sight of stairs and were about to ascend the second one, from the head of which the uproar seemed to proceed, when four men, so locked together that they formed but one roll lng bundle, came thudding down amid a debris of splintered stair rails and writhed and struggled upon the land lng, staggering up. falling down, and all breathing together like the wind in a chimney. So twisted and twined were they that it was hard to pick one from the other save that the innermost was clad in black Flemish cloth, while the three .who clung to him were sol diers of the king. Yet so strong and vigorous was the man whom they tried to hold that as often as he could find bis feet he dragged them after him from end to end of the passage, as a boar might pull the curs which had fastened on to his haunches. An officer, who had rushed down at the heels of the brawlers, thrust his hands in to catch the civilian by the throat, " but he whipped them back again with an oath as the man's strong white teeth met In his left thumb. Clapping the wound to bis mouth, be flashed out his sword and was about to drive it through the body of his unarmed opponent when De Catinat sprang forward and caught him by the wrist. "You villain. Dalbert!" he cried. The sudden appearance of one of the king's own bodyguard had a magic effect upon the brawlers. Dalbert sprang back, with his thumb still in bis mouth and his sword drooping, scowling darkly at the newcomer. His troopers had released their victim and stood panting In a line, while the young man leaned against the wall, brushing the dust from his black coat. "I had a little account to settle with yon before, Dalbert," said De Catinat. unsheathing his rapier. Your sword, sir." "1 have no quarrel with you." Nor ' De Catinat stepped forward and struck him across the faee with his open band. "It seems to me that you have one now-' said he. "Hell and furies r screamed tho cap tain. 'To your arms, men! Hola, there, from above! Cut down this fellow and seize, your prisoner! Hola!. In the king's name!" At his call a dozen more troopers came hurrying down the stairs, while the three upon the landing advanced upon their former antagonist. He slipped by them, however, and caught out of the old merchant's hand the thick oak stick. . "I am with you, sir," said he. taking his place -beside the guardsman. "Call oft your canaille and fight mo like a gentleman," cried De Catinat. "A gentleman! Hark to the bour geois Huguenot, whose family peddles cloth r 'You coward. I will write liar on you with my sword point!" He sprang forward and sent in a thrust which might have found its way to palfert's heart had the heavy saber of a dragoon not descended from the side and shorn his more delicate weapan oft' close to the hilt.

FUGEES

HARPER & BROTHERS furiously upon him with his rapier shortened, but was met by a sharp blow from the cudgel of the young stranger which sent his weapon tinkling on to the ground. A trooper, however, on the stair had pulled out a pistol and. clapping It within a foot of the guardsman's head, was about to settle the combat once and forever when a little old gentleman who had quietly ascended from the street and who had been looking on with an amused and Interested smile at this fiery sequence of events took a sudden quick step forward and ordered all parties to drop their weapons with a voice so decided, so stern and so full of authority that the saber points all clinked down together upon the par quet flooring as though it were a part of their daily 'drill. "Upon my word, gentlemen; upon my word!" be said. looking sternly from one to the other. In bis gait and bearing he had a dainty strut and backward cock of the head, which, taken with his sharp black eyes, his high, thin features and his assured manner, would impress a stranger with the feeling that this was a man of power. And, indeed, in France or out of it there were few to whom this man's name was not familiar, for in all France the only figure which loomed up as large as that of the king was this very little gentleman who stood now, with gold snuffbox in one hand and deep laced handkerchief in the other, upon the landing of the Huguenot's house, for who was there who did not know the last of the great French nobles, the bravest of French captains, the beloved Conde, victor of Itocroy and hero of the Fronde? Do Catinat raised the stump of his sword In a salute. "Heb, heh!" cried the old soldier, peering at him. "You were with me on the Rhine heh? I know your face, cap. tain. But the household was with Turenne." "I was in the regiment of Plcardy, your highness. De Catinat is my name." "Yes. yes. But you, sir, who the devil ! are you?" j "Captain Dalbert, your highness, f the Languedoc Blue dragoons." "Hey! I was passing In my carriage and I saw you standing on your bead in the air. The young man let yon up on conditions, as I understood." "He swore he would go from the house." cried the young stranger. "Yet when I had let him np he set bis men upon me. and we all came downstairs together." "My faith, you seem to have left little behind you," said Conde, smiling, as be glanced at the litter which was strewn all over the floor. "And so yon broke your parole. Captain Dalbert?" -"I could not hold treaty with a Hu guenot and an enemy of the king," said the dragoon sulkily. You could hold treaty, it appears. but not keep it. And why did you let him go, sir?" I believed his promise. I have been used to deal with Indians." Heh! And you think an Indian's word is better than that of an oQcer in She king's dragoons?" I did not think so an hour ago." You are very strong, monsieur," said onde, glancing keenly at the broad shoulders and arching chest of the young stranger. "You are from Can ada, I presume?" "I have been there, sir. But I am from New York." "And how came yon to speak French?;' "My mother was of French blood. "And bow long have you been In Paris?" "A day." "Heh! And you already begin to throw your mother's country folk out of windows!" "He was annoying a young maid, sir, and I asked him to stop, whereon he whipped out bis sword and would have slain me had I not closed with him, upon which he called upon his fellows to aid him. To keep them off I swore that I would drop him over if they moved a step. - Yet when I let him go they set upon me again." "Hem! You did very well. You are young, but you have resource." "I was reared In the woods, sir." "If there are many of your kidney you may give my friend De Frontenac some work ere he found this empire t of which he talks. But how is this, ' Captain Dalbert? What have you to! say?" j "The king's orders, your highness, ; are to use every, means which may ; drive these people into the true church." "On my word, you look a very fine apostle and a pretty champion for a ' holy cause," said Conde, glancing sardonically out of his twinkling black eyes at the brutal face of the dragoon. "Take your men out of this. sir. and never venture to set foot again across this threshold." "But the king's command, your highness."- . "I will tell, the king when I see him that I left soldiers and that I find brigands. Not a word, air! Away! You take your 6hame with you. and you leave your honor behind." He had turned in an instant from the sneering, strutting old beau to the fierce soldier with set face and eye of fire. Dalbert shrank back from his baleful gaze, and, muttering an order to his men, they filed off down the stair with clattering feet and clank of sabers. "Your highness," said the old Huguenot, coming forward and throwing ' open one of the doors which led from the landing, "yon have Indeed been a ' savior of Israel and a stumbling block ' to the froward this day. Will yon not , deign to rest under my roof and even ! to take a cup of wise ere yon go onward?" Conde raised his thick eyebrow at f&L ficristtal ashi?n oZ the csr

cnanfs speecn. iut ne oowea courteously to the invitation. "My carriage waits below," said he. "and I must not delay longer. It is not often that I leave my castle of Chantilly to come to Paris, and it was a fortunate chance which made me pass in time to be of service to honest men." He inclined again his bewigged head and strutted' off in his dainty, dandified fashion. From the window Do Catinat could see him step into the same gilded chariot which had stood In bis way as he drove from Versailles. "By my fa Uh." said he, turning to the young American, "we all owe thanks to the prince, but it seems to me, sir, that we are your debtors even more. You have risked your life for my cousin, and but for your cudsrel Dalbert would have bad his blade through nie when be had me at a vantage. Your hand, sir! These are things which a man cannot forget." "Aye, you may well thank him, Araory." broke in the old Huguenot, who had returned after escorting his illustrious guest to the carriage. "He has been raised up as a champion for the afflicted and as a helper for those who are in need." But their young visitor appeared to be more embarrassed by their thanks than by any of his preceding adven

tures. The blood flushed to his weather tanned, clear cut face, as smooth as that of a boy and yet marked by firmness of lip and shrewdness in the keen blue eyes. "I have a mother and two sisters over the water." said he diffidently "And you honor women for their sake?" "We always honor women over there. Terhaps It is that we have so few. Over in these old countries you have not learned what it Is to be without them. I have felt what a good woman is and how, like the sunshine, she draws out of one's soul all that is purest and best." "Indeed, the ladies should be very much obliged to monsieur, who Is as eloquent as he Is brave." said Adele Catinat. who, standing in the open door, had listened to the latter part of his remarks. "Much of my life has been spent In the woods," said he, "and one speaks so little there that one comes to forget how to do It. It was for this that my father wished me to stay some time In France, for he would not have me grow up a mere trapper and trader." "And how long do you stop In Par is?" asked the guardsman. "Until Epbralm Savage, the master of the Golden Rod. my father's ship, comes for me. She has been to Bristol, is now at Rouen and then must go to Bristol again. When she comes back ouce mere Ephraim comes to Paris for me. and It will be time for me to go." "And how like you Paris? Have you seen the city yet?" "Only as I Journeyed through It yester evening ob my way to this boue. It is a wondrous place, but I marvel how you can find your way among these, thousands of houses." "Perchance it would be as well that yon should have a guide at first," said De Catinat, "so If you have, two horses ready in your stables, uncle, our friend and I might shortly ride back to Versailles together, for I have a spell of guard again before many hours are over. Then for some days he might bide with me there, if he will share soldier's quarters, and so see m than the Rue St. Martin can offer."
