REMIND you once more that
j the Czar is due to arrive at
2 o'clock sharp. You will
wait for me at the Care des Inva )
lides.”
“Yes. your excellency.”
“I believe that is all for to-day. All
revoir.”
“Au revoir, your excellency.’’
When he left the Prime Minister,
whose private secretary he was, No
blet found Cormontreuil waiting for
him in the antechamber, with a smile
on his lips.
Now it was very much against the
habits of Cormontreuil to smile as
well as to visit the antechambers of
ministers. Noblet understood that
something extraordinary must have
happened. What? He had a sus
picion
“I Have Succeeded I”
“Have you succeeded?” he waked.
Cormontreuil buret out:
“Yes, I have succeeded. T have over
come all obstacles; color photography
reproduced from an ordinary single
negative is now’ a fact, thanks to the
Cormontreuil process.”
“That means fame and wealth to
you,” Noblet replied. *1 congratu
late you most heartily."
“Thanks. I ran up here right away,
because I wanted to tell the news of
my success to somebody who loved
me.
Noblet felt embarrassed. He did
not love Cormontreuil, and while they
walked together through Avenue
Marigny he listened to his words
without interest. What did he under
stand about all these chemical pro- )
cesses of which his friend was always
gibbering. Noblet had been violently
in love with the late Mme. Cormon
treuil and to get near her had al
ways pretended to be immensely in
terested in photography and chemis
try.
Now that Suzanne was dead he
could not very well declare that he
did not care a bit more for chemis
try than for Cormontreuil. Certainly
this wr8 not the time to throw over
board the friendship, w’hen Cormon
treuil was about to become famous
and might help him in his political
career.
So Noblet cried enthusiastically:
“This is indeed one of the happiest
days of my life.”
“Thank you. my friend, thank you.'
said Cormontreuil. with tears in his
eyes.
“T wish I could do something to
help your discovery along.” went on
Noblet. *
“I Counted on You.”
“You are the only man who tan,"
said Cormontreuil, “and to tell you
the truth, I was counting on your
assistance."
“But how am I to help you?"
"Listen. Noblet. My ne,w invention ,
must create a sensation. Now, since
the Czar comes to Paris to-morrow,
I thought that a fine portrait of him
In natural colors and sent to a num
ber of Influential people—"
"But I do not see what I can do.”
"Walt, The police arrangtments to
morrow forbid the public to get near
the platform when the Czar arrives,
but you, as the Minister’s secretary,
can get very close to the Czar.”
"You want me to take a snapshot?*’
“Yes. I wUl give you a small cam
era, which nobody will notice; It is
easy enough.”
“But I can not use my position to do
such a thing.”
"Well, let us say no more about It,”
said Cormontreuil. evidently annoyed
“It Is the first thing I have ever asked
from you, and I really did not Imag
ine you would refuse to do me this
slight service.”
Noblet felt that he had made a mie- <*
take; he must remain the friend of
this new Daguerre.
“You don’t let me finish," he said.
"I said that it was not quite in or
der to use my position to do such a
thing, but I will do It for your sake ”
• * *
The next evening Paris h«#trd that
an attempt had been made to murder
the Czar as he left his car.
The account in one of the evening
papers read:
"At the moment when the Czar ap
proached the Prime Minister, the lat
ter’s secretary, M. Noblet, fired a shot
at him from a revolver concealed in
a camera, but fortunately the bullet
went wild and was found imbedded
In the side of the car. The murderer
was seized on the spot and fainted
When he recovered consciousness ha
swore that he did not know that the
camera had concealed a revolver, and
said that it had been given to him by
a certain Cormontreuil, who claimed
to have invented a new photographic
process.
Bombs Were Found.
“While the Czar, greeted with en
thusiasm by the crowds outside, drove
to the Palais Elysees, the police
searched Cormontreutl's rooms, where
a laboratory for the manufacturing of
bombs and infernal machine® was
found. The anarchist, of course, had
fled as soon as he knew that his plan
had failed.
"Ib Noblet an accomplice or a vie-
tim? He claims that Cormontreuil act
ed from personal motives, and that he
suspected him of having had a love
affair with his wife. Thus he hoped
to get him into trouble. Noblet has
been unable to prove the truth of
this. So much Is certain, however
that M. Noblet Is not a fit person to
fill the position of private secretary to
the Prime Minister.”

Lucky for Him.
AN amusing story is being told of
- 11 an incident of Lord Curzon’s
school days. His handwriting In those
days left something to be desired In
the way of legibility, and he once had
the misfortune, after writing two let
ters, to put them into the wrong en
velopes.
One was to a relative; the other to
a chum with whom he was in the
habit of discussing his relatives
The relative received the criticism
which should have gone to the chum
and the young Etonian was wonder
ing how on earth he could get out of
the scrape when a letter arrived from
the relative in question containing a
note reading something like this:
"Can't read a word of your four
pages, but guess you
holy Smoke
MY wife ! *
SHE AikTT
Home.,
she's OUT-

Accompanying the note wag a wel- K
