Of pity tot another-weary strife,

These things are life.
*I Wouldst hope? Look not behind! .
But step upon the past to higher things,
And seek the sunasine. Upon fortune's

You yet may soar, and fortune can be

To all who truly hope,
Naught is too strange.

Drink in the glories of the dying dlay.
Where cloudy headlands dot the glowing

Where lie the heavenly "Islands of the

There love is true and things are as

And all is good and. fair
'Tis sweet to dream! "
Wouldst rest? Keep conscience clear.
Do well thy.work; nor heed the hurry

Nothing had happened. The real
M. Vigneron had been taken care of
the night before. He had been so re
lJoied at meeting the American art
connoisseur, M. Tressor-who looked
so very much like him--that it was not
the least trouble in the world for his
double to insinuate "knockout drops,"
by Mr. Tressor-into the green glass
filled with absinthe that M. Vigneron
was sipping. M. le Maire was com
fortably disposed ?f where he would
be very certain to get another drink
with more chloral, at any time these
next three days.
M. Penard had among a little bun
dle of tickets in an inside pocket one
bearing the number B118.059-which
was destined to win the miliion franc
prize.
Mr. Tressor was superb in the
aplomb with which he saluted the fel
low citizens of tl-.' mayor of the Fif
.teenth arrondissement. M. Penard
was very certain that he could see the
morsel of paper held by Mr. Tressor
between the third and fourth fingers
of his left hand. *Mr. Tressor knew
that nobody could possibly see 'it.
He bowed to the man at the wheel
and the monster disk was seht whril
Ing. The interesting little boy iwho
had been brought forth from his home
in the orphanage maintained ..y the
citizens of the arrondissement, thrust
an attenuated hand and arm into the
opening in the wheel and drew out a
little, glistening copper tube. He
bowed as he banded it to M. le Maire.
Mr. Tressor was in his element. He
thrust out his arms and pushed back
his sleeves-as he was wont to do
when assuring purchasers of soap that
M he had really no means of deceiving
arette. them, even if he was so disposed. He
received the copper cube gingerly be
Larply, tween thur..b and forefinger of his left
about hand, extracted the bit of paper it
within contained, and opening it before the I'
staring eyes of the multitude-after h

Three days later two smooth-faced, de
well-dressed men met at the Adelphi lit
Hotel in Liverpool. They secured a Ti
room together.
When they were alone the fair man sa
turned to the dark one and said: in
