FACTS FOR PHOTOGRAPHERS.
' 'What is needed nmnng amateurs Is
nore study and thought nnd not to
many photographs.
I'oor slides often make excellent cov-
er glasses if they arc free from bubbles
and well cleaned. Thus they are not
total losses.
Toning in photography means tint-
ing or giving n slight change of color.
3t might just as well be called gilding
for in the toning bath a thin layer of
gold is deposited on the surface of the
picture.
It is n point to bear In mind in
slidcmnklng that slides which arc just
right for a lantern with oil light are all
wrong for the oxygen jet. Again Uioho
that are suitable for the latter are not
the finest for the electric light.
It is a rule of photography that
breadths of shade should if possible be
linked together by other accidental
flhadows and the toning bath is some-
times manipulated to put the desired
linrmony there. This recalls the old
story of the artist who was asked what
the dog was doing in his picture.
"Why" said he ''hc Is carrying the
(light and simile through it."
A marvel in the line of rapid pho-
tography was performed In New York
when blograph pictures of the p.inule
of Astor's battery tuken In the after-
noon were shown the same night at
Keith's theafcr. The pictures 1000 in
numhr.r were taken in 25 seconds ten
minutes after four o'clock. They were
iscnt to Uobokcn for development and
wero back at the theater at 9:15
o'clock. This is said to be the fastest
work of the kind on record the best
previous record of seven hours having
been made in London on the occasion
'of the return of Gen. Kitchener from
Egypt.

Is In temporary command appointed by
3cn. de ltone to examine Into a charge
against d'Aurlac. Nlcliolis a sergeant
brings In a man and n'oman from king's
camp at Lo Fere prisoners. D'Aurlac
ingeredby Insulting manner of deClomeron
toward woman strikes him duel follows
ind prisoners escape. Duel Is Interrupted
y appearance of do ltone ar.d d'Aurlac 1
told he will hang If found alive fc.t close
OC morrow's battle. Hiding over Meld next
day d'Aurlac finds Nicholas victim of de
Oomeron's malice. In Imminent danger of
3cath nnd releases him from awful pre-
dicament. After battle In which King
llcny utterly routs dc Hone's forces
d'Aurlac lying severely wounded sees two
forms moving through the darkness- rob-
bing tho bodies of the dead and wounded.
They find golden collar on de Leyva's
corpse and Habctte stabs Mauglnot (her
partner) to gain possession. Henry with
retinue among whom Is fair prisoner who
had escaped from de Gomeron and d'Ayen
her suitor rides over the field. Madame
rescues d'Aurlac ar.d afterwards visits him
dally In hospital. Here he learns his friend
Is heiress of llldache. When well enough
he Is taken to her Normandy chateau
where he kurns from Maltre l'alln
nadame's chaplain tho king l about to
force her to marry d'Ayen. He sets out
with Jncques his knave for l'arls to
prevent this marriage. Delayed at Ezy he
he cmts upon Nicholas his old sergeant
who says de Gomeron Is In neighborhood
with associates from army and nobility
plotting treason against the king. They
go to dc Oomeron's retreat where they
manage to overhear detail.? of plot. Hurn-
Ing with revenge Nicholas shoots at de
Gomeron. Flying for their lives the two
men think themselves beyond pursuit
when suddenly they arc face to face with
Illron one of the traitors whom d'Aurlac
cuts down and with de Gomeron who
makes short work of Nicholas; d'Aurlac
(scapes. Arriving In l'arls the chevalier
lays what he knows of treasonable plot le-
fore Sully master general of ordnance.
Calling on de Jlclln a friend d'Aurlac se-
cures from him a servant ltavalllac who
had previously been In service of d'Ayen.
D'Ayen's marriage to Madame dolaI3!dache
Is to occur within fornlght dc Belln to
stand sponsor. l'alln and madame arrive
In Paris. D'Aurlac has suspicions aroused
concerning Ravalltac; later witnesses
meeting with do Oomcron therefore dis-
misses him. The chevalier Is Introduced at
court by de Belln where he charges Illron
with being traitor to Trance and king. For
hts pains Henry gives him 21 hours to quit
France. King now commands marriage
to be celebrated on tho morrow making It
Imperative that flight occur that night. If
madamo be saved. D'Aurlac therefore
meets her secretly when masked men
swoop down on pair and carry them off
bound and gagged. De Gomeron places him
In what llabette who Is here assures him
Is the safest room In the Toison d'Or. De
Gomeron and IJabetto offer d'Aurlac hla
freedom on condition that he will r lgn paper
holding de Gomeron guiltless of nny de-
sign against either hlmseir or the madame.
D'Aurlac aks to be unbound and St hours
In which to decide. Habctte comes for his
answer. Ily artifice he compels her to open
I1I3 dungeon door.
CHArTEIl XV. Continued.
The door swung outward so thatall I
had to do was to fold my prisoner's arm
from the elbow along its face as I
pushed it open. It kept her perfectly
secure and enabled me to take a precau-
tion that it turned out was needed;
for as I pushed the door 1 drove the
death hunter back with-it and the mo-
ment it was sufficiently open to let me
pass I sprang out and seized her left
arm. Quick as I was however I was
not quite quick enough to avoid the
blow of her dagger and received a flesh
wound which however was after nil
but slight. Then there was- another
struggle nnd affairs were adjusted be-
tween Habctte and myself without any
special harm being done to her.
"Now listen to me" I said. "What-
ever happens I will kill you first if
there Is any treachery. Take mc
straight to madame."
"She is not here" was the sullen re-
ply. "Then I take you with me to the
Hotel de Ville. Come to your senses."
She broke into the most terrible im-
precations: but time was precious and
I quenched this readily enough and at
last It was clear she was utterly cowed.
Again I repeat that no harm was done
and it was only dire necessity thatcom-
pelled me to use the violence I did.
"Come" and I shook Iter up "where
is mndame?"
She looked from right to left with n
quick uneasy motion of her eyes. "1
do not know she is not here."
"Look here!" nnd I gave my prisoner
a shake. "I fully believe that madame
Is here and If you wish to save yourself
from the rack It hurts more than what
I have done to you you will see that no
harm comes to her. You follow."
She was speechless; but her eyes were
blazing with wrath as bIic made a sul-
len movement of her head.
"You had better tell M dc Gomeron
your master that I refuse his terms. It
will save him the trouble of knowing
that I have escaped you under-
stand." This time sue nodded eagerly
enough.
"Now" I went on "we will open the
last door."
I took the bunch of keys and after a
try or two succeeded In hitting on the
right one. After this I pushed llabette
before me Into the small flagged yard
and saw to my surprise that It was
night nnd that the moon was out.
Then I gave the fact no further thought
beyond an inward "Thank God!" for
the uncertain moonlight that would
cover my escape. As I pushed my cap-
tive along tho shadow of the wall until
we came to the entrance gate I looked
around nnd above me carefully but
there was nothing to indicate where
madame was. A hundred times was 1
tempted to turn back nnd risk all jn
searching the house for her and it was
only becaube I was convinced that the
sole chance of saving her was to be free
first myself that I did not give In to my
desire. On reaching the gate I dis-
covered that there wa.s a wicket in it
large enough to squeeze a man's body
through and that this was closed but
by a heavy pair of iron cross-bars a
secure enough defense from the outside.
Holding Habctte at arms' length from
me I put down the bar and opened the
wicket. Then still keeping my hold on
her I freed her hands nnd bending
slightly forwards and looking her
straight in the face said: "Itemembcr!
nd adieu Mine dc Mauglnot."
At these words which brought back
to her memory her crime on the battle
leld of La Fere she shrank back her
yes seemed to sink into their sockets
ind as I loosed my hold of her shoul-
Jer she fell in n huddled heap on the
lags of the yard.

CHAPTIilt XVI.
A COUNCIL OP WAIL
As I slipped through the wicket 1
cast n hurried glance around me nnd
then acting on the impulse ot the mo-
ment ran forwards along tho road for
about 50 paces with Uabettc's dagger
clenched in my hand. There I was
brought to n stand by a dead wall
studded with Iron spikes at tho top
which rose sheer above me for fully
20 feet nnd barred all further progress.
It was evident that the Tuison d'Or
stood In a blind nllcy and that I had
taken the wrong turning. Not even nn
itpc could have scaled the moss-grown
nnd slippery surface of those stones
nnd leaning ngnlnst n buttress in the
darkest corner of the wall I stood for
n moment or so and waited determined
to sell my life ns dearly as possible
should I be pursued. There was no
sound however; all was still as the
grave. So I stole forth from the shadow
of the buttress nnd keeping the dagger
teady to strike retraced my steps past
tho Toison d'Or and along the winding
and crooked passage keeping ns far
away from the walls as possible to avoid
any sudden nttnek until at last I found
myself In a cross street down which I
went taking note of such landmarks as
I could to guide mc back when I phould
return with vengeance in my right
hand. The cross street led Into other
winding nnd twisting lnnes whose
squalid inhabitants were cither flitting
up and down or quarreling nmongst
thcmslver or else sitting in a bttllcn
silence.
How long I wandered in that maze of
streets I cannot say but at last I camu
upon nn open space nnd finding it more
or less empty stopped to tnke my bear-
ings. My only chance to get back to my
lodging that night and It was nil Im-
portant to do so was to strike the Seine
nt some point or other; but in whnt di-
rection the river lny I could not for the
life of me tell. At last I determined to
steer by the moon nnd holding her
track to the southwest of me went on
keeping as a landmark on ray left the
tall spire of a church whose name I
then did not know. So I must linvc
plodded on for nbout an hour until at
last I was sensible that the street
which I was In was wider than the oth-
ers I had pnss"d through and finally I
saw before mc a couple of lanterns evl-
J -'M b0 '$tfi!4t&i

dently slung on a rope that stretched
across a street much broader still than
the one I was la. That and the sight of
the lanterns convinced mc that had
gained ono of the main arteries of the
city and It was with an Inward "Thank
God" that I stepped under the light nnd
looked nbout mc uncertain which direc-
tion I should take; for if I kept the
moon behind me ns I had done hitherto
I should have to erss over and leave
tho street and I felt sure that this
would be a serious error and that would
only lead mc Into further difficulties. It
was ns yet no more than n half hour or
so beyond Compline so the street was
full; and unwilling to nttract the atten-
tion of the watch which had a habit of
confining its bent to places where it was
least required I began to stroll slowly
down determined to inquire the way of
the first passer-by who looked in n mood
amiable enough to exchange n word
with so bedraggled a wretch as I was
then.
I had not long to wait for in a short
time I noticed one who was evidently a
well-to-do citizen hurrying nlong with
n persuading stnlf in his right hand ami
the mufllcd figure of a lady clinging on
to his left arm. I could make out noth-
ing of her; but the man himself was
short and stout of figure nnd I ran to
tho conclusion that he must be a cheery
soul for as far as I could sec by the
light of the street lamps ho looked like
one who enjoyed a good meal and a can
to follow and approaching I addressed
him:
"I'nrddn monsieur but I have lost
my way."
I had hardly spoken so much when
loosening his arm from the lady the
little man jumped back a yard and be-
gan flourishing his stick.
"Stand back!" called out tho little
man dabbing his stick at me.
"lie still Mangel. So you wish to
And the rue de Hourdonnais sir?"
"Ho had better find tho watch" in-
terrupted Maitre Mangel "they have
gone that way towards the I'orte St.
Martin."
"Then this is the"
"Hue St. Martin."
"A hundred thanks. I now know
where I am and have only to follow my
nose to get where I want. I thank you
ouco more and good-night."
At last I was once again in the rue des
Deux Mondcs very footsore and weary;
but kept up by tho thought of what I
had before me aud ready to drop dead
before I should yield to fatigue. There
was no ono in tho street aud seizing
the huge knocker I hammered at the
door in a manner loud enough to waken
tho dead. It had the eilect of arousing
one or two of the Inhabitants of the ad-
joining houses who opened their win-
dows and peered out Into tho night and
then shut them again hastily for the
wind blew chill across the Pubseur aux
Vnclies. There was no answer to my
knock and then 1 again beat furiously
at the door with a little sinking of my
heart as it came to me that perhaps
some harm had befallen these good
people. This time however I heard a
noise within and presently I'antln's
voice inquiring in angry accents who it
was that disturbed the rest of honest
people at so late an hour.
"Open l'antlnl" I shouted. "It is I
do you not know me ?'
Then I heard another voice and a
sudden joy went through me for it was
that of my trusty Jacques.
"Grand Dieul It is the chevalier!
Open the door quick man 1"
It was done In a trice and ns t stepped
in Pantln closed it again rapidly whilst
Jacques seized my hand in his nnd
then letting it go gambolled nbout like
a great dog that has just found its mu-
ter. 1 noticed however nt the first glance
I took around that both l'antin and
Jncquea wens fully dressed late as It
was nnd that the notary was very pale
nnd the hand in which he held a htntcrn
was visibly trembling.
"Monsieur" lie began nnd then
stopped but I understood the question
in his voice and answered nt once:
"Pantln 1 have come bnck to free her
come back almost from the dead."
"Then monsieur there are those here
who can help you still 1 hnd thought
you brought the worst news" and he
looked nt mo where 1 stood soiled and
wet "This way M. le Chevalier" he
continued.
"In a moment I'nnttn" cut in Dame
Annette's voice aud the good woman
cumc up to mo with n llagou ot warmcfl
wine In her hand.
"Take this llrst chevalier 'tis Maltre
I'antln's ulghtcup; but I do not think
he will need it this night. God be
thanked you have come back safe."
I wrung her hand and drained the
wine nt a draught and then with Pan-
tin ahead holding his lantern nloft wc
ascended the stairs that led to my apart-
ments. As wc went up I nsked Jacques:
"Did you manage the business?"
"Yes monsieur; and Mario and her
father arc both safe at Aurlac. I rode
back almost without drawing rein nnd
reached here but this aftcrnoou; and
then monsieur 1 heard what had hap-
pened and gave you up for lost."
At this juncture we reached the smnll
landing uciir the sitting-room I had
occupied nnd Pantln without further
ceremony flung open the door and an-
nounced mc by name. I stepped in with
some surprise tho others crowding
after mc nnd nt the first glance recog-
nized to my astonishment de Helln who
hnd half risen from his scat hts hand on
his sword hilt as the door was flung
open nnd In the other figure seated in
armchair and staring moodily into the
fire saw Pnlin who however made no
movement townrd turning his head
nnd looking coldly ntmc. NotsoUclln.
for he sprang forward to meet me in
his impulsive way calling out:
"Arnldieu! You nro bnck I Palln
tnke heart man! He would never have
come bnck alone."
The Inst words struck me like a blow
and my confusion wns Increased by the
demeanor of Palln who gave no sign
of recognition nnd there 1 stood In the
midst of them fumbling with the hill of
my sword nnd facing the still motion-
less figure before mc the light of the
candles falling on the stern drawn fea-
tures ot the Huguenot.
My forehead grew hot with shame
and anger ns I looked from one to an-
other and then like n criminal before
a judge I faced tho old man nnd told
him exactly what had happened all
except one thing which I kept back. At
the mention of Itavalllac's name nnd of
his identity with the capuchin the vis-
comptc de Belln swore bitterly under
his mustache; and but for thnt excla-
mation my story wns heard in stillness
to its bitter end. For a moment one
might hnve heard a pin fall and then
Palln said: "And you lefther there!"
The dry contempt of his manner stung
me; but I could say nothing save mut-
ter: "I did whnt I could."
"The one ewe lamb of the fold the
last and tho best beloved" he said as if
speaking to himself and then in a sud-
den fury he sprang to his feet; "but
why do we stand prating here? There
are five of us nnd wc know where she
is come."
Hut Belln put his hnnd on his shoul-
der. "Patience Maltre Palln pa-
tience." "I have hnd enough of pntienco nnd
enough of trusting others" and fJhe
Huguenot shook off the hand and looked
at me with a moowl. "Come M. d' Au-
rlac if you would make amends lead
me to this ToIpoij d'Or and we will sea
what an old arm can do."
"I am ready" I answered.
But Belln again interfered.
"Messieurs this Is madness from
what I 'liavo gathered d'Aurinc will
prove but a blind guide bnck we are
not moreover sure that madame i
there sit still here you Palln neither
you nor d'Aurinc are fit to think. Fore
Gad I It was lucky I thoughtof this for
our meeting place to-night Palln sit
still and let me think."
"I can think well enough" I cut in
"and I hnve my plan; but I nhould
like to nsk a question or two beforo I
jpenk."
"And these questions are?"
"I presume I am suspected of this ab-
duction?" "And of more. Norn tie Dlen! Man!
your mare was found dead and beside
her one of the marshal's guards run
through the heart" answered de Belln.
'Then of course if I am seen I van in
danger?"
"A miracle only could save you. The
king is enraged beyond measure and
swears he will let the edict go in its full
force against you. The camnrgucr has
made a fine story of It saying how he
tried to stop the abduction but failed
in the attempt."
"In short then it would ruin all
chances If we adopt Maltre Palln's sug-
gestion." "You are saving me the trouble of
thinking."
"Again" I went on "It is not certain
If madame is still at the Toison d'Or
and apart from thnt I doubt if I could
find my way back there to-night unless
anyone could guide mc" and I loohed
ot the Pantins who shook their head
sorrowfully.

PRIMITIVE FIRE-MAKING.
Intrrratlnir Descrliitlnii nf So mo nf
the Mlniplriit Device of Uncivil-
ised Tribe.
It Is n curious fact that tho African
in lighting tho flro in which to smelt
the Iron from which ho makes his re-
markable steel weapons uses neither
stono nor metal in obtaining the first
spark. It Is Interesting to observe tho
flre-mnktng tools thnt hnve been used.
They may bo divided by tho sort of
motion required into four classes. In-
dians. Australians Ksklinos Hindus
nnd others use the whirling or drilling
motion. Malays Burmese nnd others
uso a sawing movement. Polynesians
Papuans nnd others use a plowing mo-
tion while tho custom of obtaining flro
by striking n light seems now as com-
mon nmong barbarous as civilized men.
In nearly nil tribes several methods
nrc used according to circumstances
and the means nt hnnd. A very fine
collection of fire-making implements
may bo seen. In tho National museum
in the Smithsonian institution nt Wash-
ington. Nearly every method is rep-
resented there.
The simplest nnd probnbly tho old-
est and most widely used device is
called tho two-stick apparatus. It has
been used everywhere nnd nt all times.
It consists of n rough plnnk or lnrgo
stick which rests on tho ground ob n
hearth and n smooth round stick from
one-nnd-n-hnlf to two feet long which
wc will call the drill. In the gradual
improvement nf this simple but neces-
sary tool the different tribes show their
mental development their ingenuity
or power of thinking. The wood chosen
for the hearth is dry worm-ridden
pieces of the juniper white maple or
cedar. Drills nrc nlso chosen of dry
inflammable wood. Many tribes pre-
fer tho starchy stem of boiiio flower-
ing plnnt.
The hearth has one or morc usually
many holes or shnllow sockets drilled
In its upper face and nnrrow slots lend-
ing from these sockets or lire-holes to
the tinder beneath. The tinder Ik made
of shredded bark or fungus which will
catch fire quickly nnd burn slowly llko
a slow match.
An Indian kneels witli ono knee on
each end of the hearth which is of n
convenient length and placing the
end of the tire-stick upright in one of
the sockets or Are holes twirls it
rapidly between his open palms by rub-
bing them back aud forth past each
other almost to the linger tips. At
the same time he presses the drill firm
ly into the fire-hole letting his hands
move down the drill until they nenrly
reach the bottom when they aro
brought back to the top with a quick
deft motion and move swiftly down
again.
Soon you will see thnt the wood is
being ground olT the end of the Are-
stick in a flue powder thnt collects in
the narrow slot leading from tho lire-
hole to the tinder beneath. As tho
amount of powder Increases It grows
darker and darker until It is almost
black. You will notice the odor of
burning wood nnd nfter tho stick hns
been twirled from 15 to 45 seconds a
little curl of queer-colored smoke will
begin to nrisc. Combustidn has begun.
The Indian will then tap his wooden
hearth and the Binoking pellet will
drop out of the slot to the tinder below
where it can easily bo blown into a
blaze. It is necessary to keep the line
friction-heated dust In u close heap
if fire is to be generated from wooden
tools. II. L. Jerome in St. Nicholas.
Coatly Coiluiiii-a of Jupnnesr Calrla
Japanese parents take great pride in
dressing their daughters nicely and
cleanly and have them behave like little
ladles. The long and wide sleeves which
reach clear down to the knees and tho
long sash or obt (generally IS feet loug
and 14 inches wldu) uud the Iongkimo-
na aro the pecular points of the Japan-
ese dress. The common dress is made
cf cotton nnd Is only worn by the poor
people. The silk dress Is usnally worn
by the well-to-do people. Thero is a
great variety in the price of u silk dress.
Though silk Is bo cheap in Japan a
good obi or sash (not the best) very
often costs $100 but of course
this lasts its wearer many years
frequently a lifetime. Tho aver-
age expenditure for a girl's dress is
about 300 yen which is tho equivalent
of about 300 silver dollars. Onoto
