Lugrln, in N. Y. Independent.A WINTER AT NICE.BV E. VOfl OSTEJ^.* CHAPTER VI.It was past ten o'clock, when wc eii'tered the gfaming , -halls. I scarcely recognizedthe rooms. They were flooded;lnasea of light, and the tables weresurrounded by a host of handsomewomen.Behind them in double, yes, threefold rows were the men; who, in orderto place their money, here bent over aplump shoulder, there were obliged to'touch a round, bare arm. for whichthey received an indignant glance.In the aisles between the tables peoplewere passing to and fro; long trainsrustled softly, laces and ribbons trembled,fans waved, diamonds sparkled,on painted faces pleasure beamed.Conversation would only be carriedon in an undertone, a welcome pretextfor drawing closer to the diamond-orna--monted ear and the perfumed hair.Through the soft rustling, motionand whispering pressed the monotonouscry of the croupier: "Faites votrejeu. Messieurs—le jeu est fait—rien neva plus!"; Many who stood there, to all appcarftneecalmly, were gathering togethertheir last hope of life, bitter doubtgnawed at another frivolous heart, andthe hardened gamester experienced thepleasant sensations which he soughtthere.I I watched the faces of the lovely•women gathered around the table.Their eyes sparkled feverishly: their•cheeks flushed or paled under theTouge; upon all lay the same strain,and gave them a terrible similarity. Iknow not, if in this assemblage therewas to be found a better element; jdid not try to find them out, the passionfor play, the greed for gold, made themall alike to me.They saw, heard and felt nothing butthe gold, the voice of the croupier, andthe emptiness of their purses.As this last stage arrived they awokefrom their intoxication and bethoughtthemselves of their beloved, theirfriend or patron, who had the replenishingof it."Do you not think," at this momentsaid Lapotin's deep voice in my ear, "itwould give one a strange sensation ifone should meet amongst these priestessesof mammon, a face, which onesaw the last time in a lilac bower, bythe pure light of the moon? Come,"eontinued he, "one must join them inthe game, or one begins to despise one'sfellow men!" In the sanctuary properwhere only true believers and priests ofthe idol congregate, in the hall of the"Rouge ct noir," everything wasquieter.There sat the veterans, refugees fromBaden-Baden, Hamburg, and so forth,who here found their last recourse.They seemed to play without any excitement,but when one looked into thedeeply-sunken eyes, when one watchedthe nervously twitching mouth, onefound the same disease there. Theywere all possessed, possessed bythat evil which is the worst andmost destructive to the soul. And, insteadof trying to do away with thisevil by all the means of progressivecivilization, a home is established for ithere by the prince of Monaco and MonsieurBlanc; a home that could nothave been better chosen for the spreadingabroad of the plague, and that inthe vicinity of Mentone. Lau Remo,Nice and Cannes, those resorts for sufferersfrom all landslYoung, thoughtless people are magneticallyattracted by those magicalrocks, where vice appears in such atempting form. Weak lungs breathethe air of the gaming rooms until midnight—nervesare strained to their utmost;these people do not stake theirmoney alone, they stake their lives.But what is that? What does it matterthat every year thousands of lives arcwrecked, hundreds commit suicide, andthe population are demoralized in a 'truly terrible manner?The main object is that Monsieur !Blano and his partnermillions in order to obtain princes fortheir daughters, and to divide theirbooty with the prince of Monaco, theproud Grimaldi, a scion of the oldestdynasty in Europe. Lapotin was right;U one did not play, it was not interesting.I breathed deeply as we stood onceagain under God's starry canopy, and thefresh sea air cooled our heated brows.The landscape was very peaceful inthe clear moonlight, which shed its silverybeams far over the sea.But not long did it remain so calmand peaceful. The last train to Nicewould leave in ten minutes, and fromthe marble palace a gay swarm streamedout, in wild bacchanal mood, andpassed down tho broad staircasetowards the station in wild confusion."A witches' sabbath," my friend hadsaid; the word suited this dissolute,midnight practice! Tho love of gaming,of intoxication, of love—great God,what love!—rages in these people, whomthe fear of not finding room in thecoaches makes still ruder.To my great surprise Lapotin got outagain, and I saw him for a second^ inthe thick of the crowd, next ourblonde. At the very last moment hojoined us, and away we sped throughthe darkness!On getting out at Nice there wasagain coarse laughter and women'sshrieks.A harsh, unmelodious voicesang:"Ach! wie waer's mooglieb dann,Dasz leh Dlch lassen kann—"This sentimental little folk song sungTRAHSUTtD FROM THE GERMAN BT HETTIE E MILLER. here and in such a manner was revolting.At length we reached the hotel, whichCopyright, 1891, by A.

Suddenlysho drew a few May flowers out andfastened them on her bosom. CountiA PAIR Olm y f J1IEAVT HANDS WERE LAID ONMV SHOUEDER.Degonfold smiled and swallowed a largeglass of Madeira. Tho secret alliancewas in full swing; what did it concernme?"Some one is asking for Monsieur leBaron," Louis whispered to me.I looked towards tho door and sawthere tho powerful figure of a manwith a fresh, red face, who was just inthe act of raising a gigantic eyeglass,in order to examine tho company. Itwas Uncle Wcchmar, my mother'sbrother. I arose and hastened towardshim."Well, here you are, my boy!" criedhe in his deep voico so that everyoneturned to look at us.I grasped his arm and led him to thodrawing-room, where two prettyyoung ladies, with fair hair and freshfaces, greeted me as "cousin." A delightfulsurprise for one who has justbegun to feel homesick."What brings '-ou here?" I asked, afterthe first greeting had been exchanged;"mother did not write meone word of your intention of traveling!""Ah! you see, my boy, the matterwas soon settled. Your cousin Leoniohere, began to cough, and mamma imaginedit something serious, because adistant aunt is said to have died of consumption!"Our old doctor is always of mamma'sopinion, and advised us to spend thewinter in the south. Well, my rheumatismis always troublesome in wintertime,hunting is not going to bo verygood, so we got ready and have beensitting at Mentone five days.""But why in that tiresome place, whynot here?""Dear boy, you know your aunt neverdoes anything by halves. Mentone isconsidered the safest and warmest spotin the whole lovely Riviera, and poorLeonic, us you can undoubtedly see, is agreat sufferer; so we must remain atMentone. Your aunt has a horror ofNice. I believe sho is.afraid that Imight get into mischief hero. Sho isvery much distressed that your motherscut vou to such a hotbed of vice, andcommissioned me to sound the ground alittlo and to find out about your acquaintances.""I'apa," said Erna, my eldest cousin,"how you tell everything! Could onebelieve that you had ever been a dipgamso many i lomat?"Although the treacherous locks worethis time entirely enveloped in a largogray veil, this veil would have recalledto my memory my traveling companion,even if the grace of her movements hadnot already betrayed her. They walkedside by side, apparently much interestedin their conversation.As we went out later I saw the ladyenter a boat and start off alone. OfLapotin there was not a trace to bofound.It was hard for mo to believe myfriend in his present mood engaged inany gallant adventure; still, what elsecould it bo?Yesterday at Monaco I discovereda secret understanding; though thomatter seemed plain enough, I wasworried thinking there might bo somethingelse, but what?My cousins found mo dull; they politelycallcd it "absent-ratnded." Theyaccused me of being in love, and declaredthey should certainly watch meat tho concert.Once arrived there, they wore so interestedin the audience that they forgotall else. Now I had to toll themabout this, now about that lady, whoseextravagant toilette struck them. I fellinto disgrace because I could not answerall their questions.3n order to save myself I made theexcust? that one must not know "oesdames.""Ladies of good standing do not remainhere, any more than you, thoughyou are two pretty girls."This compliment was of no avail."But," now said my eldest oousin,"there must be a nice and high-tonedsociety here. Nice is noted as the resortof such people; and we know fromtho papers that, besides many others.Princess Simonotti, Princess Trubetzkoiand Princoss Paulino Motternichand her youngest daughters are here,not to mention those of yet higherrank, such as their majesties of Wurtomberg,and so forth.""That is true, dear cousin; but aplain German baron, who is nothingout of the ordinary, is not admitted tothat society so easily. They boar analtogether French stamp, because theyall meet in Paris, and continue theirfetes here, at which tho chief amusementnow is 'matinees dansantos.' Onesees the ladies driving by in their carriages,but one does not know them.They did not show themselves once atRubinstein's concerts; tho maestroplayed for their highnesses at a privatesoiree at tho house of a Russian Croesus,who has an immense villa hero andgives magnificent entertainments. Icould easily have had an ; ntroductionthere through a Russian friend, but, totell the truth. I did not care about it.Whatever other of so-called good Germansociety there is. is to bo found atthe different hotels and boarding houses,and if one meets them it is only by accident.""Is there no chance for one to get todances?" asked Leonio, sadly.I laughed aloud.So that is the trouble! I might haveguessed it! You poor child, do youthink your mother would allow you todance with your dangerous disease?Why did you not go to tho capital tospend several months quietly?""Mamma did not wish it this year,"said Leonie, mysteriously, as Ernablushed and turned away. I suspecteda little romance.At that moment a pair of heavy handswore laid on my shoulders, and lookingaround I saw my uncle standing behindmo very much heated and with twinklingeyes."By thunder! but this Nice suits me,"cried he. "One does not see only invalidshere; does not hear that everlastingcough as in Mentone. Thecharming little women here do not look ill—wonderfully pretty faces everywhere,that I must say, and figures—if they arenatural," ho whispered so close to myear that it tickled mo. I laughed andshrugged my shoulders. "Only look,"continued he, briskly, "there comes alittlo woman who makes my old heartfeel quite warm."I turned around and saw in an elegantcostume of brown velvet and fur,her littlo cap set coqucttishly on herbrown hair, a largo bunch of white lilacat her breast, Mrs. Gifford on CountDegenfold's arm, followed by her husbandand the professor.Count Degonfold looked at us sharply.My cousin's pretty form had attractedhis experienced eye.I bowed. As the count returned mybow. Mrs. Gifford looked at us too. Herlovely eyes sparkled and a vivid blushcovcrod her face."Ah! you know tho couple!" cried mycousin. "Who arc they?""It is a Count Degonfold, who is stayingat Hotel Suisse.""And tho lady is his wife?""No," said I. a trifle embarrassed."His wife is a great sufferer and seldomgoes out. Tho lady is Mrs. Gifford,an Irish woman, the wife of tho Englishclergyman, who is walking behindher. and my neighbor at table."My uncle whistled softly and pinchedmy car."What is it?" I asked."I followed you when I heard thatyou were not going to cat at tho hotel,to warn you not to go to the club today;unpleasant surprises are being preparedthere; they wish to trace a dishonestplayer and catch him in tho act.It would not bo pleasant if your namewore to appear in tho papers as amongstthose present. Let mo beg of you tokeep this secret." I thanked him forhis thoughtfulness and added: "I canimagine who the dishonest person is; ifhe is not called Monsieur le Marquis doV illoboisnet. I do not give much for thestudy of physiognomy." Lapotinsmiled. "Perhaps you may bo mistaken."said ho. pressed my hand andleft me.CHAPTER VIII.At the depot I had just helped mycousins into a coupe and taken leave ofthem when I saw Lapotin on tho stopof the next one in earnest conversationwith one of the passengers.The train was in motion, when witha short "good-by." he sprang down. Hestaggered and would have fallen had Inot held him."Ah!" cried I, "I have been able toact as guardian angel once.""You here?" said he, astonished nndpressing my hand."Yes, I saw my relatives off," I answered.And I greeted some one passingthrough." Ho seemed to me unusuallyexcited. "Just think," hecontinued, "Iwas almost persuaded to go along.What would you have said if I had disappearedsans adieu? Would you nothave thought mo tho dishonest gamester?"I laughed, but asked uneasily: "Areyon really thinking of leaving so soon?""Perhaps in January, not before. Weshall spend Christmas together. It iscelebrated very nicely at the hotel.Hen- Metzlor, our landlord, provides theChristmas tree and dinner, and thoguests make one another gifts. Foryou, who are accustomed to a familygathering, it is a poor substitute."As Lapotin was chatting he suddenlyceased. Close by his side the dark bluespectacled man passed."Tho man has followed us," saidLapotin softly to himself. "I wonderif he watched mo at tho station.""I did not notice it." said I, "and Iwas there quite a time; ho must havebeen in one of tho coaches."Lapotin nodded."Yes," said ho; "that was tho trainfrom Marseilles that touches at Cannes.Did ho not get in at Cannes when youtraveled with him?""I cannot say positively. I was halfasleep. But what have you to do withhim, my friend? Have you a reason to—to—what shall I call it—to avoid orface tho man?""More than you think," said Lapotin,softly, "and in a different way fromwhat you think," he added with a faintTHE COUNT SAXQ FBTVOLOUS SONGS.smile. "I might easily bo in such a positionas to bo compelled to appeal toyour friendship. I could, could I not?""At any time, and in any place," Ianswered, warmly."No, no duel," said he. "Tho manfights against me with other weapons;but I am on my guard."It was almost eleven o'clock when woreached the hotel.

A ROW WITH CHILI.The Neir Govern ment Glring MilliliterEgan Much Trouble—The Junta NotifiedThat rccle Snm Will AfTord Ul«Subjects Every I'rotoctlon.WASHIKOTON, Sept 29.—For twohours Monday morning' the presidentwas in consultation with tho representativesof the state and navydepartments. Secretary Tracy, whoarrived in Washington Sunday night,nearly a week before the datefixe I for his return from thenorth, came to the white houseearly in the day. lie was joined thereby Acting Secretary Warton, of the departmentof state, and Gen. John \V.Foster, and later by Com. Ramsay,chief of the navigation bureau, whohad been snmmoned for the purpose.It is conjectured that the mattersunder consideration wcic statementsfrom Minister Egau and Capt. Schleyof recent occurrences in Chili, whicharc also conjectured to accord withspecial dispatches from Valparaiso tothe effect that three United States citizenshad been arbitrarily arrested inSantiago by order of the junta: that acordon of police had been posted droundthe United States legation building;that access to the legation had beencontrolled by the junta, and finally thatthe United States minister to Chili was"being harrassed and annoyed in his effortsto care for American interests.Just what Capt. Schley had to communicateto the navy department cannotbe learned from any of theofiicials, but it is surmised that itrelated to the treatment of refujrecs,or that the bitter anti-Americansentiment in Chili, resulting fromthe seizure of the Itata, has revealeditself in hostile or unfriendlydemonstrations toward the officers andmen of the Kaltimorc.Another cable was received fromMinister Egan Monday night. Whileall information as to the nature of thedispatches from him is withheld enoughof their contents are known to confirmthe statement that the junta hasgone to the point of serious complicationswith the United States. MinisterEgan has reaffirmed the sacrednessof the political refugees in thoAmerican legation, has energeticallyprotested against putting a policcwatch on it or requiring passports forthose having business with the legation,and is now looking after the interestsof three or four American citizenswhom the junta assumes to treatas spies. Instructions have been senthim direct from the white houseupholding his course and directingthat emphatic representationsbe made to the governing powersagainst any invasion of the rights ofasylum in the legation, whether undercover of police protection or local regulationsof any sort. Further than this,the rights of the American citizens allegedto be spies will be strictly enforced.Secretary Tracy says that no navalvessel will be ordered to Valparaiso atpresent, and this statement may betaken as correct, because in the firstplace it is not understood that there isany danger to life, and in thesecoud place no vessel is available.The aspect of tho situationat present is purely diplomatic,and the instructions sent to theminister are to meet a diplomatic complication.At present the United States" navalforce in Chili consists of one vessel—the cruiser Baltimore — commandedhy- Capt. Schley. The San Francisco{onched at Cullao, Peru,last week on her way northwardwith Admiral Brown in command.An effort was made by the navydepartment to communicate with her,but she sailed for Acapulco, Mexico,Friday, before the cablegram reachedher. Her bottom is in bad condition.and the vessel would bealmost ucserviceable unless dockedand cleaned. There are no othermodern vessels on the Pacificside that could be dispatched to Chiliand it is assumed that Com. Ramsaywas called into the consultation by thopresident for the purpose of explainingthe exact extent of the resources of thenavy departmentACROSS THE CONTINENT.llililonalre Mackuy lireakn the ItecordBetween San Kranclnco and New York.Nkw YORK.-Sept. 29.—At 10:50 o'clocka. m., Monday the private coach Grassmere.containing John W.

They are classified asfollows: Widows and daughters of revolutionarysoldiers, twenty-three;army invalid pensioners, 4liJ,o97; armywidows, minor children, etc., 108,537;navy invalid pensioners, 5,449; navywidows, minor children, etc., 2.508;survivors of the war of 1812, 7,590:s\irvivors of tho Mexican war, 10,379;widows of soldiers of the Mexican war,0,970.The aggregate annual value of the070,100 pensions on the i-ollJune30,1891, was SS9,247,200 and the averageannual value of each pension wasS139.99 and the average annual value ofeach pension under the act of June 27.1890. wasS131.51.At the close of the fiscal year therewere 88,574 pensioners on the roll whoremained unpaid for the want of tlmoand who were entitled to receiveSl,8S3,242, which will be paidout of the appropriation forthe current fiscal year; andthere remained at the close of tho fiscalyear in the hands of tho several pensionagents the sum of $5,713,852.84,which has sincc been covered into thotreasury This amount added to$J.G07,-138.22 of the pension appropriation notdrawn from the treasury aggregates$9,320,086.06 of the appropriation whichwas not expended. There will bo adeficiency in the appropriation for thopayment of fees and expenses of examining surgeons of about S300,000.Tho total amount disbursed on accountof pensions, expenses, etc., duringthe fiscalyear was 5118,518,959.71, a?compared with 8100,493,890.19 disbursedduring the preceding fiscalyear; so that it appears that 138,210pensioners were aculed to the rollsduring the fiscal year just closed, atan icreased cost to the nation of $13,-055.069 as compared with the expendituresfor the previous fiscal year, andsaid expenditure includes §4,357,347paid upon vouchers remaining unpaidat the close of tho year.The loss to the pension rolls by thodeath of widows and dependentmothers and fathers was at the rate of85 per 1,000 in 1891.

It isnot necessary to employ ice to maintaina low temperature in hot weather,sush houses being adapted to largeestablishments and requiring constantearc and much skill in their managementFor the smaller and cheaperstructures the essential requisites arenon-conducting walls and ventilatingwindows, provision being made for theadmission of cool air on cool nights, tomaintain a temperature slightly abovefreezing, and thus preventing decayduring warm seasons. W ith such aprovision we have found no difficultyin keeping such applfis as the Baldwinand Newton pippin through winter andinto the middle of June, and such winterpears as Nelis, Lawrence andMalines into February and March. Acommon practice is to erect a frame ofsix-inch studs and cover both sides ofthese with boards, filling the space betweenthe boards with sawdust; but abetter way is to nail on the buildingpaperstuds before the boards are applied,the studs being placed just farenough apart to give a slight lap to thePIG. 1.ANOTHER LEAK STOPPED.lIo\r to rr«TeOt a Source of CooBlUcrableI.ons on Many Furms.A source of waste on many farms isthe bags from which horses are fedoats direct These stand on the barnfloor or in the stable where they areplaced as brought from town, andmice and rats pick up the spilled feed,gnaw the bags, waste more and foulthe remainder.

Xhe first illustrationshows a common, tight packing box,with hinged lid and two or more compartmentsfor various feeds, salt, etc.It should be covered with old tin tokeep out mice and have a hook to holdthe lid down against animals thatmight break loose in the night. Thehook should be attached to the binand clasp into a staple in the underside of the lid. This fastening nohorse, however cunning, will open. AtA in the cut is a shallow box whichcan be slid back and forth on cleats atthe top of two compartments. It willhold bags, cords, etc., or can be usedfor a hundred weight of oil meal.The second illustration will give oflea fair idea of a much better arrangemedt,but one that requires more labor,f aper as the rolls are successively applied.The sawdust is omitted, as it is expense and ingenuity for building.liable to cause crevices by setting, and The feed has to be liftod to the secondto be attacked by rats and mice, story and emptied into small, tightli this air space and the two covers chntes holding two to three hundredwith boards and building-paper are not weight each.
