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.

afternoon. She was returning from a
fox chase, and the five or six red.

leaped to the ground, almost upsetting
- each other in their eagerness to asslst
her to dismount. She let herself glide

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

beauttiful,'rian' tili"in siilte 'of her
made up complexion, had promenatled
for twenty-year3 with all her worn out
airs of coquetry, her samovar and her
cage of pampered inonkeys?
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.

flying,squadroit, maneuvering ceaseless

would have made no differenco, hiow

"Au, it isyoi-t-vbo Are so iluc in

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

free from coquetry, and with a heart
that was both proud and true, Perr

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
