"The Harvey Gaddis hoy looked a Idt rocky when he showed up the next morning. •« ’Say. what did yon let me gamble for bisi night? - he asked me when he met me down town.

"He was out of the camp and bound for Denver with his $7,600 box of gold coin before noon, and before more than half a dozen of the boys In camp knew lie was going after Wingate to puc him for the uiiue Dtnsmore and Manley, when they heard of It. ex pressed natural regret that he hadn’t staved on long enough to Si'"'" a chance to get even, but they consoled themselves with Ihe reflection that he would he back in a couple of d«'s.

Henri Frantz quotes J.amnriine'a description of Baltnc. which, hr says In the Magazine of Art, Rodin absorb ed. and be draws attention to the close connection between it and Rodin« conception. The passage runs ; "He was not a tall mao. though the ra diance of his expression end the mo bility of bis pel son did not allow one to consider h’s figure, and tdst figure moved as fluently as his thoughts. ?He was stout, heavy, squarely built; his neck, his bust, his body, his thighs and all his limbs powerfully made. With a great deal of Mtrabeau'e massive ness, he wa» no * ln the "*® Bl heavy: there was so great a soul that it could carry all this lightly and like a plant sheath, and not as a burden. The weight seemed to give him force." Isimanne adds thnt he oft“n sat with bis betid belli forward and would throw It back with heroic pride as he grew animated ln speaking. In reading this passage one remembers that the sculptor has represented Balzac in his favorite attire. The bulky frame is wrapped in n monk's frock; the arms are not through the sleeves, but folded underneath: and die folds of tiio gftjunent and ihe structure of of the Imdy Is aalittle emphasized as possible.

In Kuasia the accret police are ever watch ful for the aafety of the Cxar. and. though *o few people are aware of It, Queen Victoria I* always protected by spec ial police, mostly in private dress, upon whom more than upon uniform**! officials, la laid the heavy ro-ponaiblli ty of Guarding Her Majesty. These are ihe pick of the men from the A Division of the Metropolitan po lice force, and are under the charge of a superintendent, who is duly noli-, fled of Her Majesty's arrangements in their entirety each day. The queen seldom knows he or his men are near, but they are rarely far away, and the closest watch Is kept upon any person In a crowd upon whom the slightest suspicion rests, or upon any solitary loiterer ihe reason for whose loitering is not readily apparent. These police men move about with the court, hut there is a special detachment of them which Is always stationed at Windsor. Arrangements corresponding more or less with these are in force in most countries on the continent. In Turkey they are of a most elaborate character. Of course, apari from this secret pcf>- tlon. armed guards stand on duty be-! fore every royal residence In Rnrope when the sovereign Is in it; and, con cerning the second rase referred to at the outset, on the occasion of public fetes and ceremonies the military pro-1 tection is usually very complete. In addition to which the private police men are still on the watch. When the sovereign goes abroad a few difficulties are presented, and very often it is considered preferable to go incognito, which very substantially decreases the risk incurred.

The German Emperor, however, sud denly felt that he would like to go to the great exhibition at Part* for a few days, and communicated hla desire to the French ambassador at Berlin. It wa* realised at the outset that It would be necessary to go In the strictest In cognito. The only people in France who were made aware of the visit were President Carnot, the minister of foreign affair*, the minister of war and the director of geverat safety. The latter told off 20 | sperlal police to watch and protect the traveler during his stay In the coun try. hut they did not know who he was. Rest fits the übove named, the Emperor only took Into his confidence an admiral, the captain of his yacht, the Hohensollern. the ahanocllor of the empire, a general of division, and two valets whom he took with him. The French ambassador first of all went home to Paris To Hake Arrangements, And then In due course ihe emperor embarked in his yaeht at Kiel, deelar ! lug to all that he was going to the North Cape Of course, he was doing nothing of the kind, but he purposely went by a most extraordinarily round about route to the French capital, ! landing at Arendal, In Norway, cross i ing that country and then the North Sen. Holland. Belgium and so to Paris. When traveling In Belgium he rode in a reserved compartment between two i others, also reserved, but empty. On entering France the latter were oceu i pied by the secret French police, who i surrounded him throughout his stay. He drove about in a common cab, and had for his personal use but a ) single room at a hotel. The day after 1 his arrival a man stared hard at hint and seemed to recognize him. The man was promptly seized by the police and hurried away to the police station, where lie was kept concealed ttil the emperor left.
