I should be Infinitely obliged. 1 should not be so pressing only that my word Is pledg ed that Dalcour shall have the money, and In honor 1 must pay him. Ilesaoa was rolling the ring round and round on his finger. He looked down at the little faded creature who used such fine expressions. -Honorr He smiled. -Honorr Mamzelle was on fire In an Instant. -Tea. honorr she cried. -What have I but honor? I have no wealth. I bare lost my youth. There Is no one who cares for me. I have only honor. My word Is not doubted because It has al ways been sacred to me. Honor! I know bow It is with those who have it not. I have sorrowed and shamed for one who let his honor fall to the dirt. It was my father. He was believed of no man. He had no friends. Alone I followed him to the grave. Honor! It is all'! hate In the world, acd 1 will 1 carry It with me ccsolled up'to the She was panting, ber hand up over her heart. Besson waa looking straight before him, a etrange expression in his eyes. Iut monsieur does not attend, said Mamzelle. Bhe had to speak to him a second time. Then be pulled himself together. "Mamxelle. he said, -you shall have the GO francs on the day you have 1 promised to pay It away, and pressed onward up the stairs. But she ran after him and caught him by the sleeve. -Monsieur." she said, "will you forgive my heated words? Have I ever shown doubt of you? Then forgive me! I had no one else to go to. and then, monsieur, you you seem a trifle carvless." "Yes. yes." be sald. "l know. 'Care less la a very good word. But I am not worth your thought. Mamzelle. though I am as I wUh to be. But you shall have the money by noon on the 2Sth.- He went to his room. It was not quite daybreak, so be lighted the lamp. His head was heavy and hot. He got the revolver from the drawer of the table. "But not just yet I will work at those things for Clarle." be said. There will be time for that other afterward." He slipped the weapon in his pocket He picked up the water Jug and dash ed Its contents over his bead. "So! That cools the oven." he said. "How do you like ih Mile. Absinthe?" The water streamed down his shoul ders. His face was varnished with it. He seated himself at the table, where there were a dozen pointed pencils and a quantity of dusty paper. "Honer!" He took a pencil and drew It across the paper.' ' ' ' i . "Jean Paul Marat was born' he wrote, when he let the pencil drop. He picked It up and, wrote again: "Jean I'aul Marat was born" lie threw the pencil aside.' "Of coarse be was born." be said, "or bow else did be get here?" He selected tvitli care a new pencil. ins ungers grapea ix uu me suucaies whitened. He drove it over the paper, Hhit after sheet was filled with writ- lug and fell to the floor. The pencil wore out.

' At 3 o'clock In the afternoon tbe last word was et down. The tm biographies or dered by M. Clavie were finished. II! band was cramped. Ilia neck had pains darting through It. , Every tDe In hi body fteetned wrenched. It waa too late to deliver the manuscripts tbat day. He threw himself across tbe bed and t ted abouj. At last be slept. He awoke with a start. AU was dark round him. . Night had come again. Toti hare gained a day, my little heart,?, he said. "If I had but one small glass! But, no. I must keep cool of - head, for I must hare more for these articles than a hundred franca. I have made them twice as long as I Dromlsed to do. The extra money will eonsole Mamzelle for the " trouble I shall cause her In this room. He tap- ped on his pocket. "And I will . not look on Mme. Smithandwesson till I have been to Olavie, or I should surely t tempted." He tried to light his lamp and found fliat the oil was exhausted. He went round in the . dark and gathered the sheets of paper from the floor. "Honorl" . "With the first arrow of light he ar ranged the pages In sequence. When the light was more fully come, he left the house. In many v months he had not seen the streets at this hour of the morning. The noise had scarcely be- gun. a blue frocked ourrier here and f. . . there was going to work. A commer- 1 tial traveler, with his bag of samples, i was hurrying to catch an early train ! at the Gare d'Orleans. Two pea sheil- makln fc markets. The.markeU! He had once thought le would write up the markets 'In the twelfth century they were pretty near where they are now. In visit fco easily, and so get rid of the time. He wondered into the older part "Do not be like my father," she pleaded softly. of the town, now rapidly becoming the newer. He had once thought he should like to write a history of old Paris. How far off the time of that thought seemed now as far off as everything else! Tet how Interesting Paris was! At half past 10 he found that It would be close on to 11, even if he walked briskly, by the time he reached Clavie's. Francois was alone in the office. M. Clavie had been out of town for a few days, but was expected at the office that morning. "Good!" said Bcsson. "I will wait." When 11 struck, he asked if this were not the usual time for Clavie to arrive. I Francois answered, "Before this ' some . days, but then he might have come home late last night and slept an ; hour or so beyond his usual time." j "True," said Besson and fastened his eyes on the clock. Mamzelle had said she had promised the money to the tombstone man at noon, so there was a full hour yet. i Francois drummed on the table In front of him. A messenger entered with a letter. Francois read It. ' "Unfortunately," he said, "this In forms me that M. Clavie will not re turn until tomorrow." 4 Besson bounded to his feet. ; "But, he said, "I have brought the biographies." "I did not like to mention it," return ' ed Francois, 'Taut you will remember : they were- promised for the 15th. To j day Is the 25th. We could not wait longer thtin the 20th. Then we gave or ders to have them written elsewhere. Some are already done, the others promised in a week." Besson was dumfounded. Mamzelle had said she must pay the money at noon today. He had no means of get ting the . CO francs save through the biographies. He had expected to settle his backfttanding rent when he was paid for his papers on the Sorbonne, but that would not be until next month. He had trusted 'his food and drink even till he was paid for these papers on the Sorbonne. "Monsieur," he said to Francois, "It is urgent. I must have the money." "It Is not my affair," returned Fran cols. "Yes," argued Besson, "but the biog raphies were ordered from me." "By a certain date," Francois retort ed. "True," urged Besson. "But I have written them. I will let you have them for GO fra ncs. Really GO francs Is nec- egBary to me. I must have the money j before noon Qh do not say no! See j the manU9Cripts" are much longer than j woris. They are correct in every particular. I will vouch for It. Only m fraiics! Surely, you will not refuse me? Seo now well they look! Sixty ; franes! Monsieur. I must have the , coney by noon. An honor Is at stake. Praneoia had irrown nale sa he lis tened to the words that drove like the wind. . - r It Is not my. affair," he said more courteously. "We have already threes of the biographies in the hands of the : printer. : You did not? keep your con tract as to time." "But 60 franca," Besson cried, "only 60 francs!" . "1 dare not, protested Francois. "But "Monsieur," said Francois, I will take a risk on myself. I will accept j two of these for 40 francs. It may be f a complete loss from my own purae. i "Siaty francs for them alll" "Forty franca for Roland and Tin tiller The clock: struck the half hour. Bes son looked down at the manuscripts. The ting on his finger caught his eye. "Take them, he said. , He threw the papers on the table, grasped the money held out to him and hurried from the place. He had only 30 minutes. He tore off his ring as he went along. He meant to pledge It. He darted&rto a. shop. They would advance no more than 10 francs on it. If he wished more, he might go to an honest man in the Rue Scareile, who would buy it by weight for old gold. Out . hurried Besson. A clock In a window told him that ten minutes of the half hour were gonel Only 20 min utes till noon! . ' - The Rue Scareile was another ten minutes off, but then It was only five or six minutes from there to the Place Labrosse and Mamzelle. ' , He ran now. At the corner of the Rue Scareile he stopped abruptly. He was; dripping with perspiration; his face was ghastly. : He looked at the ring lying In his palm. It had been Marie's ring. She had given It to him when she had thought to marry him before he had begun to make those mistakes which forced her to cast him off. - He had always kept the ring. No pri vation had caused the suggestion that he should part with It. It had belonged to her. She had worn It. It had been warmed by the blood that coursed from her heart, and the possession of it had seemed to keep her not quite so far away. To part with it, it appealed to him, would sever him entirely from the past, when he had been hopeful and respected and loved. - "But Mamxelle's word would be bro ken. She relies on me my honor." He made for the shop. He was offer ed 25 francs for the ring after it had been tested with acids. "Of course," said Besson. "You take it merely as old metal?" "Of course." "And you would give as much for It If it were broken?" "Certainly. "Will you lend me a hammer? The hammer was given him. He stooped to the stone floor.' He looked inside the ring and saw Marie's name there. Then he laid , the ring on the floor and with a powerful blow of the hammer crushed It into ' a shapeless mass. The ring had been the last tie. ; He was now Irrevocably separated t from the past. " j He handed the gold to the man and j received 25 francs. "The timer he asked. "It Is 5i minutes to 12, was the an swer. '.' ' - Besson left the shop..!: He now had the 60 francs, and 5 over, "Yes," he said, "the, 5 ' will get me several small glasses. . u t need them. What! ' From the' proceeds of that ring!'. ; f v'lv:;- - , He dashed the 5 franc piece into the road, crowded with vehicles, and press ed on to the Place Labrosse. He en tered the house as the noon hour sounded.' Mamzelle glanced at him and nodded pleasantly. "The 60 francs." he said and laid the money on the table among the blos soms of her manufacture. "There, now, Dalcour," she said. A man Besson had not noticed came from a corner and pointed to the little flower maker. ' "Mamzelle never breaks her word," he said. "The tombstone goes up this afternoon.' Bon jour. Mamzelle! Bon Jour, monsieur!" And he took his leave. Mamzelle laid aside the flower whose petals she was forming and rose to her feet. She put out her hand. "You have saved me so much," she said. "Let me be your friend. I am old enough to be your mother. I am not learned, like monsieur, but we wo men give love, and that is sometimes as valuable as learning. You have helped me so much. Let me help you. Monsieur, my father was as you have been. He died, and he was forgotten before he died. You are young. You must live and vindicate your worth to the world, as you have vindicated your word to me." Besson stood there, tall and grim. For a moment a smile twitched the corners of his mouth. Mamzelle took his hand and held it up to her cheek. "Do not be like my father," she pleaded softly. "Honor is dear to you. You have shown me that.' You will promise me? A shiver passed through Besson. Marie's face seemed to loom in the dis tance, j Mamzelle regarded him with stream ing eyes. "You promise?" She appealed to him. "Surely there is some one you love. If it be a woman, think what your honor must be to her. You promise ?" Marie was near, so very near that he felt that he might touch her, and she was smiling, pleading. "I promise," he said, "Marie!" and fell at" Mamzelle's feet, pressing the hem of her common frock to his lips. CkararlnK For Pewa. Accounts which date back to 1533 show that In English churches the principle of allotting sittings to par ticular people and charging for the same was then In force. At St. Law rence's church, Reading, there is an entry under date 1547 for reforming the mayor's seat, and at Rye the churchwardens expended 5 shillings for making a new pew for the magis trates, wives. . v . In 1736 the churchwardens decreed that women occupying seats in certain favored positions should pay fourpence each. . For still better positions near the pulpit the charge was sixpence. At Dorchester, In 1625, Robert rol den's wife is noticed as paying Is. 6d. for a seat in the "women's square." So there Is reason for believing that originally pew rents were charges made every time particular seats were occupied.

An Ideal Climate The first white man to set foot on Utah soil, Father Silvestre Velez de Escalante, who reached the GREAT SALT LAKE on the 23rd day of Sept., 1776, wrote in his diary: "Here the climate is so delicious, the air so balmy, that it is a pleasure to breathe by day and by night."
