Synopsis.
“THE MINISTER OF POLICE,” by
Henry Mountjoy, is a romance of Paris
fluring the Louis XV reign, a. period when
Europe was in a condition of foment and
Unrest; when Voltaire was breaking to
Pieces the shackles of religion; when
Rousseau at the Cafe de Regenance was
preaching the right to think; and when a
thousand men, some in the gutter, some
near the throne, were preparing the great
explosion of the revolution.
Madame Linden, an Austrian laoy,
after completing a simple mission to the
French country, lingers on in Paris, en
joying the gay life there. De Sartines, tnc
minister of police, thinks she has some
other motive than pleasure in delaying
her departure and surrounds her wltn
spies to discover. If possible, w'hether she
Is dabbling in state plots. ..
De Lussac is a noble of exceptional
character of that period. Handsome, wltn
all the elegance of a man of the court*
there Is still about him something thaT
stamps him as a man apart, something oi
the visionary, the enthusiast and the poet,
rare in that age of animal lust, chilling
wit and embroidered brutality. He is, in
fact, steeped in the philosophy of Hotis
seau and is trying to put this philosophy
Into practice through his connection wltn
a secret society that ia plotting the down
fall of the state. Before he has gone far
enough to Incriminate himself he falls in
love with the beautiful Austrian, w'ho per
suades him his method of righting the
wrongs of humanity is impracticable, ana
ends promising to go to Vienna with
As he leaves her house a fellow con
spirator, his chief. Joins him, says several
of their members are arrested, and en
trusts the secret articles of the association
to him. He then explains to De Lussac
that their only hope is to intimidate the
minister of police. This can be accom
plished only by obtaining an iRpriminat
lng contract signed by the minister of po
lice and in the possession and safe keep
ing of De Richelieu, De Lussac's cousin.
With this contract in their possession they
can dictate terms to the minister of po
lice, obtain the release of the members
already imprisoned and be safe them
selves.
De Lussac goes home, buries the papers
he has just received, writes Madame Lin
den that he is attempting one last mission
for the society, and also writes an asso
1 elate telling him where the papers may be
found In case of his death. Then he en
ters Richelieu’s home and almost succeeds
y in getting the document, but is surprised
and leaves It In a drawer which he has
unlocked. Before he can make another
attempt he Is arrested and taken to the
Bastile but not before he has told Madame
Linden how nearly he succeeded In get
ting the document. She, realizing how
desperate her lover’s position Is, visits
Richelieu’s home and succeeds where her
lover has failed.
PART III.
CHAPTER I—(Continued).
“Here are three letters.” said mad
ame as she finished the last, folded it
and sealed it. "This one is to the land
lord, Monsieur de Gorges, telling him
I give up the house today. Take it
to him at once: also this letter to
Boehmer, the jeweler, and this to
Behrens, the haberdasher; they are to
bring my purchases here tonight at S.
Take them. Stay; what is that?”
A carriage had drawn up in the street
and some one had rung the door bell.
Madame crossed the room and looked
out. She saw beyond the rails of the
courtyard a carriage, but the visitor
had evidently been admitted, for there
was no sign of any one in the court
yard.
“Go,” said she to Rosine; "see who
It Is, and should it by any chance be
Monsieur de Sartines, say that I am
out.'1
A moment later Rosine came running
up.
“Monsieur de Maupeou has called,
madame, and wishes to speak to you.”
“Monsieur de Maupeou? 'Well, show
him up.”
Rosine left the room and the baro*ess
presently heard the heavy step of the
vice chancellor on the stairs. The door
opened and Rosine’s sprightly voice an
nounced: “Monsieur de Maupeou.”
\De Maupeou, whom we have scarcely
seen up to this, was a personage with
a funereal air, a face yellow as the
parchments of the law, and a coat of
black velvet worn the least bit at the
Beams; as if to make up for this touch
of business on the coat, his ruffles were
of the finest lace and his right hand,
half buried in its ruffles, showed the
iparkle of a diamond.
Despite the gloom and sobriety of
his appearance there was a touch of
magnificence about this man, and de
spite the suggestion of parchment, a
touch of fire. Now, at this moment,
standing before Madame La Baronne,
the president of the law courts had
assumed bis most gracious air. He
bowed as though he were standing be
fore the daupbiness, and as he took
the seat which she indicated he
plunged at once into the business on
hand.
“Madame,” said he, “this morning I
received a note indicating that if I
called today at Monsieur le Due de
Richelieu's house in the Faubourg St.
Honore at 1 o'clock, I should see some
thing of interest to me as vice chancel
lor of France. Also that I was to make
no reference to the note but simply
call as a friend of Monsieur de Rich
elieu.”
“Monsieur," replied the baroness, “I
wrote that note.”
“Ah, you wrote that note. Well,
madame, it is to the honor of my per
Bpicaoity that I guessed the fact.”
She bowed. "And what you saw—
did it Interest you, Monsieur?”
"Profoundly.”
“That is well. I always like to per
form what I promise. Well, Monsieur,
If you accept the invitation I gave you
to my house this evening, I will prom
ise you a sight even more interesting
than that which you beheld at the
house of Monsieur de Richelieu.”
"Madame,” said De Maupeou, “the
Bight which I behld this morning inter
ested me mainly by the fact that 1 did
not understand it at all. May I speak
plainly?”
“Certainly.”
“Well, I saw Monsieur de Sartines in
a state of agitation.”
"Yes."
“I saw three personages of the court
on their knees before a lady whom they
hate for their beauty and wit.”
"Yes.”
“And I heard them asking pardon of
her under the pretense of playing a
comedy.”
"Yes.”
“When you invited us all here to
night 1 was watching Monsieur de Sar
lnes’ face. Madame, to be brief, you
hold a very high percentage ii. your
band.”
“Again you are right. Monsieur.”
"He is your enemy, for ’tis well
known, Madame, in the circles of jus
tice that he—hum—”
"Holds me in suspicion. Oh, Mon
sieur, he has done more than that; he
» has insulted me three times, and for
J eaoh of those insults I have sworn re
r venge.”
De Maupeou smiled. “Upon my
faith, Madame,” said he, "ail you tell

me exactly confirms what logical rea
soning has made me suspect, and now,
to be brief again, I do not know noi
do I want to know, what act of Mon
sieur de Sartines has placed him in
your bad graces, but this I must know;
am I invited to your house tonight in
my official capacity or simply as Mon
sieur de Maupeou?”
“In your official capacity, Mon
sieur.”
"To meet—”
"A criminal who has conspired
against the welfare of the state."
"Madame, this is a serious matter,
and 1 warn you if 1 come to your house
tonight. I shall come armed with terri
ble powers.”
“Come armed as you please, Mon
sieur, only I warn you of this: if you
display your power before the right
moment arrives you will spoil all.”
"Madame,” replied he, rising to go,
"I leave the matter in your hands, as
sured as I am that your aim is the
same as mine—justice. I shall be with
you tonight.”
He took his leave, entered his car
riage, and gave his coachman the or
der, “Versailles,”
His hatred of De Sartines had been
a growth of years, one of those hatrec\g
complex as a mechanism and gold as
ice, despite the fire that keeps it alive.
He knew much against De Sartines,
but he had never been able to make use
of his knowledge. Instinct told him
now that this woman was probably the
Instrument he had been long searching
for. That she had the lieutenant gen
eral of police in her grip was self-evi
dept.
“A criminal who has conspired
against the welfare of the state.” He
kept mumbling the words over as
though they pleased him. The crim
inal could be none other than De Sar
tines. What crime had he committed
out of the many possible crimes that
he might commit? De Maupeou could
not tell, nor did he care so long as the
crime was big enough.
An hour and a half after leaving
Paris, that is to say, at about 20 min
utes past 4, De Maupeou’s carriage en
tered the courtyard of Versailles. We
have said that at this period the din
ner hour of the nobility was 4 o'clock;
that of the king 6. From this it fol
lowed that from 4 to 6 o’clock there was
an emptying of the ante-rooms and
corridors adjoining the king's apart
ments. One might have fancied that
the dinner hour would have emptied
them entirely, but this was not so. A
number of courtiers always clung op in
the hope of a glance or word ffom the
king as he passed to the dining room
or the private apartments of Madame
du Rarrv.
Nothing is more extraordinary than
this obsession of the courtiers of the
kings of France which caused them to
cling to the presence of the monarch as
bees to their queen. Marked in the
time of Louis XIII, it became acute in
the reign of the grand monarch, and
still more so In the time of Louis XV.
From the Duchesse de Gramont to the
Marchioness de Mirepoix, from Mon
sieur de Choiseul to the Prince de Sou
bise, there was not one of these people
who did not feel half stifled when con
demned to breathe air other than the
air of the court.
So, though it was past the dinner
hour, Monsieur de Maupeou as he
passed up the stairway of the ambassa
dors encountered several of his ac
quaintances, and more in the Hall of
Mirrors.
But it was not to the Icing that Mon
sieur de Maupeou had come to pay his
court, and disregarding the people
whom he met and who made attempts
to hold him in talk, lie turned his steps
toward that wing of the chateau once
occupied by the Princess Adelaide and
now occupied by Madame du Barry
when that lady was not In residence
at Luciennes.
CHAPTPJR II.
MADAME DU BARRY.
Madame du Barry on this especial
day was in a bad temper, a rare con
dition of mind with her who, capricious,
fanciful, volatile, and changeable as any
woman could be, rarely displayed ill
humor.
She was seated now, buried in cush
ions, in an embrasure of one of the
windows showing the trees of the park,
a glimpse of the fountains, and a sky
of forget-me-not blue broken by pearl
white clouds.
Never does the great park of Ver
sailles look more beautiful than under
the afternoon sun of a summer's day,
but madame had no eyes for its beauty
Just now, nor for the antics of Pis
tache, her little dog, begging to be
taken up from the floor, nor for the
beauty of Combefere, the macaw, blaz
ing with tropical color on his perch;
her eyes were entirely taken up by a
paper which she held in her hands.
Other papers lay on the cushions, evi
dently read and cast there in a fit of
impatience.
Madame du Barry was dressed in a
gown of blue Italian silk, stiff almost
as a brocade, clasped at the waist with
diamonds, and showing the pearl white
of her throat and arms to perfection.
Her hair was dressed after her own
fashion, that is to say negligently; the
frisure and the other horrors of the
hair dresser’s art had been condemned
by her, and to the terror of the frumps
of the court a fashion had been intro
duced disastrous to all but the young
and beautiful. Her face was lovely, one
of those faces that surprise as much
as they delight us, because they are
new.
With what feelings of disgust one
reads the description of her by the In
famous Madame Gourdan: “Her waist
was well rounded; her face, of an oval
that might have been chiseled by a
sculptor; she had large deep-set eyes
whose subtle glance was alw-ays de
lightful, and I noticed that her skin
was of marble whiteness, her hands and
feet of the daintiest, and her hair in
such profusion that I could not hold it
in my two hands.”
And yet this ogres* In her stereotyped
way had found something of the coun
tess's nameless charm in those “deep
set eyes whose subtle glance was al
ways delightful.”
Madame du Barry raised her head on
the introduction of Monsieur de Mau
peou, and presented her hand to him
while retaining in the other hand the
paper which she had been reading.
"Madame—chere cousine,” murmured
tile first magistrate of From e as he
bowed over the hand of the comtesse,
“what a pleasure it is to find you to
delight tlie eye, after ti e dust of the
law (Hurts, the faces one sees. My
compliments.”
“Oh, monsieur,” replied the lovely
creature among the cushions, “ho -
strange it is that you should bring me
your compliments, when all day long
every one lias been bringing me their
insults. Head that.
She handed nim the paper which was
| still between her lingers, and De Mau
peou, taking it, read:
"Pourquol ce brillant vls-a-vis?
Est-ce le char d’une deesse
Ou de quelque jeune Prineesse?’'
S’ecriait un badaud surprls.
"Non,” de la foule curieuse,
I Ail repond un caustique, "non;
Cest le char de la blanchisseuse
De set infame—d’Aiguillon.”
De Maupeou read this elegant pro
duction without moving a muscle of
his face.
He knew the history of the magnifi
cent curriage which the Due d’Aiguil
lon had presented to Madame du Bar
ry; a carriage which goes down
through history as the most beautiful
ever built, costing in its construction
at least 60,000 livres.
He had good cause to know the his
tory of this carriage, as when the Due
d’Aiguillon had been accused of op
pressing the people of Brittany, .De
Maupeou it was who had moved the
Comtesse du Barry to induce the king
to pardon D’Aiguillon. The carriage
had been an acknowledgment of this
act and the acknowledgment had
brought down on the unfortunate com
tesse a shower of lampoons and bal
lades of a nature to drive an ordinary
woman to distraction.
De Sartines could have easily seized
these ballad mongers, but he held his
hand simply because De Maupeou, be
ing at the bottom of the gift of the
carriage, De Sarines was determined
to make that gift as bitter as possible
to Madame du Barry.
It is necessary to the progress of this
story, and it is also interesting, to ex
pose a few of those hidden springs and
wheels (in the forms of motives and
acts) which made up the every-day
story of Versailles.
“Madame,” said De Maupeou, “the
writer of this rubbish is to be pitied
for his poverty of pocket and mind,
and perhaps pardoned for his fault, but
the man who allowed this to be writ
ten has committed an unpardonable
act*”
,rAh!” cried she, the vision of the
pretty carriage in which she could
never now drive trundling off into in
visibility, ‘if I but had him I would
show him how far it is safe to insult
a woman with spirit. And look, here
are more, the same, and worse.”
“I say again, Madame, that the man
who wrote these things is only the pen;
it is the man who allows them to be
circulated who deserves punishment.”
‘And that man?”
“Oh, Madame, do you need to ask?
Who punished Rochas for his pamphlet
against the monarchy? Who punished
Therrey for his ballad of Versailles?
Who—”
“Ah,” said madame, “you mean Mon
sieur de Sartines?”
“Precisely.”
“But, my dear friend, Monsieur de
Sartines himself told me that though
the things were printed in Paris, the
printers had escaped to Holland and
were beyond pursuit.”
“Oh, did he? Well, Madame, I must
ask you a question: when was the first
of these ballads sent to you?”
“Ten days ago, and I have received a
ballad a day since.”
“YKrVi/a rv A vn n Vloneioor A ^
Sartines?”
“Five days ago.”
“So that five ballads have been print
ed since, and you will receive another
tomorrow. No, Madame, the printers
have not escaped to Holland, nor do
they wish to escape there; they are
quite satisfied to remain in Paris un
der the protection and in the pay of—”
He paused as if he had gone further
than he wished.
“You mean to say Monsieur de Sar
tines is the Instigator of these villain
ies?”
"1 mean to say nothing, I'.adame,”
replied De Maupeou coldly.
“You hint.”
“Madame, I only give you food for
reflection.”
“It must be. The things have been
published daily since I spoke, and he
was to have seen me today about them,
and he has not called. Ah, De Sartines,
De Sartines, is that how you recom
pense your friends!”
De Maupeou smiled; but he Baid
nothing for a moment, fixing his eyes
on the carved mantel emblazoned with
the Du Barry arms and the motto:
“Boutez En Avant.”
In his carriage, which contained
among other things materials for cor
respondence, he had occupied himself
during the Journey to Versailles in the
preparation of a document which he
now drew from his pocket.
“Madame,” said he, “for every bane
there is an antidote, and strangely
enough, for the drugs of the prisoner
who persecutes you 1 have brought the
antidote.” He handed the order to her
and she read:
“For our vice chancellor, Monsieur de
Maupeou, to hold this day in inquiry
at the house known as No. 12, Rue Coq
Heron into the conduct of certain per
sons under suspicion as enemies to the
state. Giving the said Monsieur de
Maupeou full power to seize all docu
ments that may cast light on the con
duct of the persons indicted, with pow
er to arrest and detain for further ex
amination any person or persons con
cerning whom, in his judgment, the
evidence may direct itself.

Big Business of Government.
From the National Monthly.
One of the most interesting of all gov
ernmental departments particularly at
the resent time owing to various interna
tional relations is department of state.
An act in July, 1789, established a depart
ment of foreign affairs, the sole duty of
which was to conduct the relations of the
United States with foreign countries.
There were other duties, however, which
it was thought that this department could
perform advantageously such as Issuing
commissions to presidential appointees,
preserving the acts of congress, and ex
ecutive orders, and proclamation, and be
ing custodian of the great seal. So in
September. 1789, the department was
changed to the department of state.
The first congress under the constitu
tion added to the department of foreign
affairs certain internal duties and called
it the department of state. The office of
attorney general was established In 1789,
being provided for by the great act that
established the federal court. The de
partment of the navy was established in
1798. the home department, commonly
called the department of the interior, in
18-19, the department of agriculture In 1889,
the department of commerce and labor in
1903.
The Farmer's Fear of Good Methods.
From Hoard’s Dairyman.
A farmer was questioned about buying
phosphate and ground limestone to in
crease the fertility of his farm. This was
the way he answered:
“Now, see here. Suppose everybody did
as you advise, we would be raising so
much that prices would be clear down to
the lowest notch.’’
The answer was as follows:
“Who are you farming for, yourself
or the rest of the farming community?
You know that if everybody else even
should do the right thlTg it would take 33
years to get them all into it. In the mean
time their bad farming is lessening pro
duction and that keep** up prices. You
have the chance if you Improve it to in
crease the producing power of your land,
take advantage* of high prices and get rich
before ‘everybody’ wakes up to the sit
uation. Isn’t it about time you saw th<-se
things in the light of your individual in
terests as a farmer? How absurd it is to
go on impoverishing your land for fear
that ‘everybody’ will catch on sometime
and reduce prices."

Physicians Recommend Castoria
/’"'ASTORIA has met with pronounced favor on the part of physicians, pharma
^ ceutical societies and medical authorities. It is used by physicians with
results most gratifying. The extended use of Castoria is unquestionably the
result of three facts: first—The indisputable evidence that it is harmless:
Second That it not only allays stomach pains and quiets the nerves, but assimi
lates the food: Third—It is an agreeable and perfect substitute for Castor Oil.
It is absolutely safe. It does not contain any Opium, Morphine, or other narcotic
and does not stupefy. It is unlike Soothing Syrups, Bateman’s Drops, Godfrey’s
Cordial, etc. This is a good deal for a Medical Journal to say. Our duty, how
ever, is to expose danger and record the means of advancing health. The day
for poisoning innocent children through greed or ignorance ought to end. To
our knowledge, Castoria is a remedy which produces composure and health, by
regulating the system—not by stupefying it—and our readers are entitled to
the information.—Hall’s Journal of Health,

Letters from Prominent Physicians
addressed to Chas. H. Fletcher.
Dr. B. Halstead Scott, of Chicago, Ills., says: "I have prescribed your
Castoria often for infants during my practice, and find it very satisfactory."
Dr. William Belmont, of Cleveland, Ohio, says: "Your Castoria stands
first In Its class. In my thirty years of practice I can say I never have
found anything that so filled the place."
Dr. J. H. Taft, of Brooklyn, N. Y., says: “I have used your Castoria and
found It an excellent remedy In my household and private practice for
many years. The formula Is excellent.”
Dr. R. J. Hamlen, of Detroit, Mich., says: "I prescribe your Castoria
extensively, as I have never found anything to equal It for children’s
troubles. I am aware that there are Imitations in the field, but I always
Bee that my patients get Fletcher’s.”
Dr.Wm. J MeCrann, of Omaha, Neb., says: "As the father of thirteen
children I certainly know something about your great medicine, and aside
from my own family experience I have in my years of practice found Caa
toria a popular and efficient remedy In almost every home."
Dr. J. R. Clausen, of Philadelphia, Pa., says: "The name that your Caa
torla has made for itself In the tens of thousands of homes blessed by the
presence of children, scarcely needs to be supplemented by the endorse
ment of the medical profession, but I, for one, most heartily endorse It and
believe It an excellent remedy.”
Dr. R. M. Ward, of Kansas City, Mo., says: "Physicians generally do not
prescribe proprietary preparations, but in the case of Castoria my experi
ence, like that of many other physicians, has taught me to make an ex
ception. I prescribe your Castoria in my practice because I have found It
to be a thoroughly reliable remedy for children’s complaints. Any physi
cian who has raised a family, as I have, will join mo in heartiest recom
mendation of Castoria.” i

MADE RULES FOR COMPOSERS
Frederick the Great, Talented Musi
cian Himself, Laid Down Im
perative Orders.
Frederick the Great was the most
distinguished musical amateur of his
age. and his position gave him the
power to regulate the style of com
position employed by the musicians of
his period. For instance, he made the
following rules to be followed by ope
ratic composers: ‘‘All the principal
singers must have big arias and differ
ent in character, as an adagio aria,
which must be very cantabile to show
off to good advantage the voice and
delivery of the singer; in da capo the
artist can then display her art in
embellishing variations; then there
must be an allegro aria with brilliant
passages, a gallant aria, a duet for the
first male singer and the prima donna.
In these pieces the big forms of meas
ure must be used so as to give pathos
to the tragedy; the smaller forms of
time, such as two-four and three-eight,
are for the secondary roles, and for
these a tempa minuetto can be writ
ten. There must be the necessary
changes of time, but minor keys must
be avoided in the theater, because
they are too mournful.”
rHE BEST TREATMENT FOR
ITCHING SCALPS, DANDRUFF
AND FALLING HAIR
To allay Itching and irritation of the
icalp, prevent dry, thin and falling
hair, remove crusts, scales and dan
druff, and promote the growth and
beauty of the hair, the following spe
cial treatment is most effective, agreo
ible and economical. On retiring,
comb the hair out straight all around,
then begin at the side and make a
parting, gently rubbing Cuticura Oint
ment into the parting with a bit of
soft flannel held over the end of the
finger. Anoint additional partings
about half an Inch apart until the
whole scalp has been treated, the pur
pose being; to get the Cuticura Oint
ment on the scalp skin rather than on
the hair. It is well to place a light
covering over the hair'to protect the
pillow from possible stain. The next
morning, shampoo with Cuticura Soap
and hot water. Shampoos alone may
bo used as often as agreeable, but
once or twice a month is generally
sufficient for this special treatment
for women’s hair.

FOR HUNTING
No matter what you hunt for or where you hunt, the answer
to the question “What rifle shall I take?” is—a Winchester.

from ,22 to .50 caliber. Whichever model you select you will find
it an accurate shooter, reliable in action and strong in construction.
