Then the tombstone goes up. The rest '
of the money I pay In a year, which Is '
certainly most reasonable of Dalcour. j

Ilesaoa was rolling the ring round
and round on his finger. He looked
down at the little faded creature who
used such fine expressions.

Mamzelle was on fire In an Instant.
-Tea. honorr she cried. -What have

cares for me. I have only honor. My

one who let his honor fall to the dirt.

She was panting, ber hand up over
her heart. Besson waa looking straight

eyes.

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

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

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"

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

f. . .
there was going to work. A commer-

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

Praneoia had irrown nale sa he lis

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

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." The climate of
Utah is one of the richest endowments
of nature. On the shores of the Great
Salt Lake especially and for fifty
miles therefrom in every direction
the climate of climates is found. To
