I,e Iteouf. who had made bitter enemies dnriii" tin? peiiod of blood riiiinitii; from having sent so many persons to the guillotine, found himself exposed to plots hatched against him for purposes of revenue. One who had lost a near and doa. relative spent n lone time in manufae ttirins a cae of murder against him. had him arrested and tried Millet presided as judge, and it was in his power so to instruct the jury that they must bring -in a verdict of guilty or not guilty, as he chose. When it be came his duty to do this, instead of at once addressing the jury he addressed the prisoner. "Citizen Antoitie le I'.eouf. stand up:" Le Heouf. who was much broken by his troubles, could, only stand by lean ing on his daughter, a young woman perhaps twenty-three or twenty-four years old. "Cltii'ti le Heouf. do you rotnember during the reign of terror one who at the time the (liroudisis were executed protested against their execution?" There was no reply. "Do you remember Hint you sent out an order for the arrest of that person, j inni no was mougur net ore you nnu adjudged an enemy of the revolution? i He was con lined in a room in your! bouse the prisons were too full to ad-j mlt him till he could be sent to tin? ; guillotine.

The girl who sustained her father kept her eyes on the judge in a frightened, reproachful look, like the rest dreading his final words "This man Millet, who was trying to stem the butchery of yourself and oth ers, kept himself out of your way. You tried to get your hands on him by open means, but. failing, tried treachery. You sent for him oin tlie ground that you wished to form a'uniou between the Conservatives and the Radicals and i desired him as a representative man of the Conservatives to join with you to make the revolution less bloody. Sus pecting your design, he sent a man to met you in a dark court, where you would not recognize him He was spized and hurried away. Rut when t he light shone on him yoti saw that It was you instead of I who had been tricked." The prisoner trembled, but said noth ing. "And now, Antoitie le Reouf. you Vho on the bench nut the judicial bench, the bench of the revolutionsent so many innocent person to the guillo tine, what do joti think that L a Judge regularly appointed by the state, should do in your case?" The prisoner bowed his head without reply, but his daughter in a trembling voice said. "You should be merciful, M. le .Tudse." "No. mademoiselle, not merciful. Your father does not deserve mercy. Rut first I should be just. It has not been proved that the prisoner commit ted tills murder with which he has been charged P.tif this Is not my ruling motive. Gratitude is today strouger than justice gratitude to you. who. when I was confined in the rear of your father's house while he was In the front sending men and women to the guillotine, came and at the risk of yourself dying to save me opened my door and conducted nfe to the street. It is my fluty to instruct the Jury In this case to bring In n verdict of not guilty, and it U my pleasure to (fire you your father's life." When the judge was speaking tu last words tin impressive silence reign ed in the courtroom. Mile, le Reouf ran to the Judge and. kneeling before him. seized his hand ami kissed If. Raising her. he turned to the Jury ami gave them his formal Instruction thai freed the prisoner. Then Le Reouf tried to thank the judye; but. being un able to speak, he waved his hand to him and was led away by his daugh ter.

What is the best breed of chickens? Kasiest question in the world. Ask your friends and every one of them can answer right off hand, but each one will name a different breed or va riety and when you ask their reasons for their choice, mifshty few of said reasons would hold in court. The fact of the matter is that there is no one "host breed" of chickens. There are four or five "best breeds," with from two to seven "bst varieties" in each breed. If you don't believe it. glance through the filps of any poultry journal and so the number of "b"vt breeds" mentioned in their free read ing notices. One man proves that the WTiite Or pingtons are the "best breed," because he got Mme. Paderewski to admit she paid $5,000 for Ave of his chickens. Another man clinches the pennant for he White Plymouth Rocks hy saying that a pen of 30 hens earned $.1..rui) for him last year, their eggs selling for $30 a settling. And so It goes. As far as. the city or suburban poul try keeper is concerned, he can make his choice of chickens entirely upon sentimental grounds. Remember that the breed deter mines the sire and shape of the fowl, and the variety determines the color choose the shape and color that you think Is prettiest and you will have the hpst breed for you.

Ths difference between profit and Iops, eggs and no eggs lies in the Individual and not In the breed or variety. Thorn is no marked difference in the produc tion, growth and hardiness of five or six of the princlpnl breeds, and there is the same similarity between their established varieties, but there Is a tremendous difference between differ ent flocks or Individuals of the same variety. A poultry man who under rfands his business can tnke pn or dinary flock of any standard variety and he can heat any similnr flnrk nt the same or any other variety, which Ii handled by an inexperienced or careless person. Inheritance of profitable ninlitirs is of the greatest importr.nce. For this reason scrub or cross-bred fow!n nr worthless for breeding, bee? use their offspring cannot possibly improve in size or productivity for any loncth of time and practically never held their own.
