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.” JOUft OWN y LlL&STd TTAM//HGO’- Kineek.

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- want eomi money, you young rascal.” Accompanying the note wag a wel- K come check. • - ...
