I entered with a sigh of re- lief. Finally I had a refuge. But where was I? What was going to happen? I drew my lamp from my pocket and walked ahead. There was a long passageway then to the left a furnished room. I called aloud to awaken the occupants. No voice re- sponded. The house was- empty. Since I was the sole possessor for th night and there was little chance that th owners would return In such weather, I decided to install myself as comfort- ably as possible and go to sleep I | found copper candlesticks on a raan- l tel-plece. I lighted the candles. In j the room were chairs, a table and * peasant clothes closet. But all the furniture seemed to have been chosen J by a city person with rustic taste rath- er than by country people. "It is a lucky chance which brought me here," I said to myself. "At dawn I shall get out, for after that I might not find a welcome." The tempest raged outside. I was so tired that I closed my eyes as soon | as I sat down on the bench which I j Intended to make my couch, and I ; thought I was dreaming when I heard i these words: "What are you doing in my house "!"

She spoke so audaciously aad had the air of being so little frightened my presence that I did not know what to answer and contented myself with looking at her closely. She was a young woman and yery good-looking, as far as I could Judge, for the water was streaming from her clothes. Her locks, escaping from under her hat, were matted against her cheeks. But even so, nothing could alter the purity of her profile, and I could see her wide blue eyes glitter like two pale sap- phires. "Well." she continued, "are you afraid?" As she said this she drew a revol- ver from her pocket. I jumped up. "But, madamoiselle" "Don't be afraid. It is not for you. It is for me. So I am going to give BRITISH WARSHIPS TO TOUR WORLD.

In the days of our fathers and grand- fathers, rheumatism was thought to be the unavoidable penalty of middle life and o'd age. Almost every elderly person had rheumatism, as well as many young people. It was thought that rheumatism was the mere effect of exposure to cold and damp, and It was treated with liniments and hot applications, which sometimes gavo temporary relief, but lid not remove the trouble. In these days there were many cripples. Now, medical science understands that rheumatism is a dis- ease of the blood, and that with good rich red blood any man or woman of any age can defy rheumatism. There are many elderly people who have never felt a twinge of rheumatism, and many who have conquered it by nent for his great size.

She expressed herself calmly, without bir.vado and toyed with the weapon in ber hand as she might have toyed with a pendant to her necklace. "You want to kill yourself?" "Yes." "Why" "For reasons which don't interest you." "Nevertheless, what Justifies you in killing yourself?" "No no moralizing. If you please. There is something so ridiculous in our dialogue at this hour and in this place, that I almost feel like leaving you here and killing myself outside on the road." "But it is raining too hard.
