THE LION'S CLAW. LIeit. Julian do Rho had -returndr trbm:bis station In Coohin -China In a sad plight,'ibut now, after three lodg, months of illness, he had corimenced to imaprove and to be able to take the air on the terrace over-looking the Loire, supported by. the arm of his mother or sister. The fresh air of the river, hovver, growing chill wth the approach of autumn, wade the youn man cough and shiver. "He must winter in a warmer cli. - mate," the physician had said. "Send him to Pau, and In: three moriths he will return' to, Lorraine and to you, it.e. la'M arquise; entirely restored." This was why Juliande Rie, leaning from his sun lighted. window in the Hotel de Garderes, contemplated the t magnidcent panorama of the I'yreaee3 and shoked the cigaratto of returning health with so much enjoyment. It seemed to him that he had resumed his youth and the feelings of s1xteen vears, "Tiensi but thi pau is full.o1> )vely women," said Juliao to bimsel', as, loitering ii- the sunshine before the statfe of King Henry on the Place Royale, he looked about him and list ened to the trains of the military band. weither a coxcomb nor in aiy sense a- libertine, our young sailor was . blessed not only with a strong love for the beautiful in life, but the -vanity of his age as well, and. he hastened to seek out and don his uniform, cap asid jacket, with its three goldenstripes addl its rosette of .the Legion of Honor, with a pride in which one as never too old or too Ill to indulge. S.me way or other, Jullan was conscious of an over recurring sense of, pleasure that it was entief It was exquisite, thid golden sdnshine which warmed without burn log; this azure sky, the enchanting andscape and distant amphitheatre hills, their peaks of -snow nestling among the clouds. Besides,- it was amusing to mingle with the cosmopol itan crowd, among these beautiful foreigners, and to listen to them cha'. tering in all the tongues of :Europe, like the different songs of the birds in an aviary. Breathing the warm sweet air in deep full draughts, basking in content went and a constant sun, carefully at tired, freshly shaved and proud as a boy of his glittering rosettes, JTulian <te Rho was happy and grateful for 'he boon of life in a world to beautiful. Throwi'ng pennies to the beggars, watching with glowing eyes the lovely S women who crossed h.is path, playing with the children In their long black' stockings, red shoes and flying skirts, dancing beneath the trees of the Pa. lace Royale, time sped on, the hours Into days and days Into weeks and months. 9.-f* * 9 * * .10achanting conditions under jvhich to fall in love, were they not? Anti this happy convalescent received the C Barbarine, the most beaiutiful girl of the Russian colony, descend from her * horse before the door of the Hotel Gas sIon, where she resided with her * mother. It was about 5 o'clock In the afternoon. She was returning from a fox chase, and the five or six red. coated adorers who accompanied'her leaped to the ground, almost upsetting - each other in their eagerness to asslst her to dismount. She let herself glide 9 -indi$Nrently into the arms of the first comers tnd stepping intO the veranda ordered them to serve her with a cup of .milia at once, which she drank where she stood, the graceful curves of her elen#ler figure displayed by the wel,l fittinr iding habit, the heavy braids of her copper colored hair escaping fro'm the chimney pot and aprading over her shoulters. A moment later, With a nod of dlsnissal to the galhints ~who. attended .her, she passed Into the hotel, Three dlays later Juhian do Rho, who had spent the intervenuing time saying to his acquaintances, ''Who Is she?' I pity'p namo'tejl me, for 1 am madly iin loVe with her--I adore hern" was pre ,' ented, n,okrvery dilicult thing to ac - amwpi sh athe house of the ladies lBar bgrrine, anid at once took his post in the equadron of lovers surrounding this beattttil Ruissian. lDut wa5 she a Rtts eav after ill, this fascinating creatur e, 7 vho sluCO the commencement of the eson galloped all day and! walized all 9.., . ,i1gj9'e0, by'lher reputea father, the Count Barfbarine, the first hush>nd of her modtWe,'.though everybody ,knerv thaul)h C6La94Ss Barbarule was d! yore otethe irth'ofthla child, ud or sf fioio hAd t edh thle mor ganatio wife o' a noble from the udith a Christian or an Osoar-something. The countess:herself was the daugh ter of a Now York banker by the pam of Jacebson.

AlasI it Was true, slie liad 'no doune try,.this.strange.. girl, who combined within herself t.h- modesty of a: virgin with the, boldness of a boy. "I am neither of London, of ,iaris, Vienna nor St. Peterrburg," she would say with a smile sadder than any teat "I am only of the table ,d'hote." Had she any family?- yotiea 't ; ll' her real father, the Ohiristian or Osca of the north, of whom the Countosb Barbarine was never weary of talking; had been dead for many years, and as for the I usslaii count,, her father in name and law-provided you stretch8d it a little--he never troubled' hirnself about her; Utterly ruined in-fortune, he had really no means of existende save his unerring gun, and gained a living by going from.city to city and winning the prizes at the pigeon ' shootings, a sort of civilized Leatherstooldng, in fact, to be found in more places than' between the leaven of,0ooper'e roman tic novel. And Olga's mother? In spite of her periodical and maternal .. tenderness; which grated upon .all and deceivec tiono, she was adowed with an ego.. tism, a selfishness, absolutely sublime, and which never for a moment found itself at fault. Julian 4e Rho learned- all these do. tails only after he was enrolled in the flying,squadroit, maneuvering ceaseless ly in the wake of Olga 3arbatine. It would have made no differenco, hiow ever, had ]he heard .themn be fore, for ha had. - begun - to love, to truly love, this strange yet ir" iresistible girl, who loope ii 1, t,e1 eyes ivitlj the candior of s. icc.hId, and "Au, it isyoi-t-vbo Are so iluc in love with met How do you do, sir?" and she gave him her band and a clasp as (irm as a man's. Yes, this brave and honest sailor be gan to love her, and to love her all the more as he heard aAd understood her story; but he was not deceived. Olga wan fanciful-badly brought up, yet free from coquetry, and with a heart that was both proud and true, Perr haps sho felt as keenly as. he felt him Felf the humiliation,of bet poltion and the life she was forced to lad. One thing was certain: she jdged, and judged severely, the score or more of suitors for her favor who esiacoled Se side her In the daily fox chase asidev.6ry night inscribed theit inimes- upo'r her dancing card: "They aidmired her,iejy adored her-pour niasser l.10 temps not one among them ester.4h0r uif ficiently td ask her hand in instri4goi" Fior this reason she treated them dis dainfully, and quickly broughit "them to their senses at the slightest dttempt to pass the limit she had placed upon their approaches; they should at.leest respect her! J3ulian, t6 whom delicacy 'of feeling lent a rare penetration, recognized he neath the .brusque exterior the true worth and loyalty of this girl, so beau tifut yet so unfortunate, -but'bearing her troubles and her m nortAfication with the courage of a,etrong, reserved nature. Did ho wish to marry her? Yes, an& to take her from a life so full of peril to carry her to his mother, a tender, loving woman,iwho would surround her with the peaceful atmosphere of i home; In a word, his love should savd her. N~ay, more than this, ho dreamoed that Olga' divined his hopes, and th~at at thqse "4 to 0 teas" of the Count#gs Barbarino's, whxere all of her aidorers were treated with the careless frank, ness of a "bon canmarade," her eyes met hers with a look in their depthstbat responded to his generous pity, his in finite .love. "Yes, Mille. Barbarine, my leave of absence expires in ten days. I leave Pau to-nmorrow to epentl a few houre with my sister in Toui'aine; after that I depart for B3rest as .aid.de-cainp to the Marine prefect.

They were alone' in a corner of the Gassion'e.reading room, standrng at-au open .window lookinp out uipomi the night -and a sky that spa;gtedn .llh millions of stars.
