THE CHEVALIER:
We all came to the old chateau for
grandmother's luueral children grand
children and great-grandchildren. She
was burled In the corner of the ceme-
tery which she had ckorn long ago
and after the sad ceremony we return-
ed to the old house. Here .were mem.
ories for all of us. For three genera-
tions she had held children In her
arms soothed their sorrows listened
to their joys and now they were all
xmet to mourn her absence from the
old place so dear from its associations
with her. "
I mounted the great staircase and
entered the room from which they had
just taken her. Here were my earliest
recollections of her. 1 recalled how as
a little girl I would come in in the
morning as soon as I was dressed say-
iug "Good morning grandmother." I
always found her dressed for she was
an early riser: She would leave her
chair by the window and go to the big
old fashioned wardrobe which looked
so immense to me and take from it
the expected dainty.
With what awe and respect had this 1
wardrobe filled my childish heart! It
seemed to me a perfect treasure house
for all that a child holds dear.
With these remembrances in my mind
I opened it now. It was full of fra-
grant linen scented with lavender ex-
cept for a little shelf atone side where
lay several papers. I picked up a roll
of yellow writing paper tied with a
pink ribbon and carried It to the light
Had I any right to read the pages?
They were discolored by age but 1
knew the writing. Could grandmoth-
er have any secrets which she would
wish to keep after death? Even as I
debated I had untied the ribbon and
discovered that I held a diary in my
hands and the first words in It were
of love sweet pure and tender the
first love of a young girl. I could not
resist and I read the pages as I stood
thero In the fading light which laid
before me the romance of my grand-
mother. It was In the month of June 1S12
on a beautiful evening when even the
flowers exhale more strongly their sub-
tle perfumes and the human heart has
a desire to open. Here in the twilight
of the old garden grandmother heard
the first words of love.
Beneath the deeper shadow of the.
trees wrapped in the sweet odor of
the flowers two figures a young girl
and a young man walked side by side
with slow steps.
"Yes CJarisse I am going" said the
young man. "And what difference does
It make? Suppose I never return from
the war. Who would care? I am
alone In the world."
"You have friends Horace."
"None."
"And I?" said she very low.
"You!" cried he. "You would care
least of any.
There was a long silence. The grav
el sounded beneath their slow tread.
The night fell little by little. Horace
heard a stifled sound and turned.
"You are crying Clarisse!"
"You hurt 'me so!"
"Do you love me?"
She faltered and his arins caught
her and held her against his beating
heart. Unresisting she raised her face
to his. and their lips met in a long
kiss the first.
Horace left the next morning.
Clarisse waited long for him. The
remains of the grand army returned
without him. Still she hoped on. Years
passed and the war ended. Many who
had been Imprisoned returned but still
he delayed. She pictured him burled
beneath the snow with numberless
others who had dropped exhausted
along the line of the terrible march.
Her parents urged upon her the duty
of selecting a husband from the suit-
ors who surrounded her. She resisted
as Ung as possible theu yielded van-
quished by their insistence and by the
certainty of his death. She gave her
hand to Count d'Estrarville.
It was ten years since the kiss given
beneath the trees. She was sitting on
a bench In the garden when a stranger
approached her along the path. As
he neared her Bhe .recogpized him. It
was Horace.
He came toward her with Out-
stretched arms then stopped as
though surprised at the coldness of
her greeting.
"It is too late" she said. "I am al-
ready married."
He explained the reason of his long
absence captivity. Siberia the mines
all the frightful sufferings he had
gone through sustained always by a
belief in her love and her loyalty to
the unspoken vow made In the twi-
light of the garden.
"You lied to me that night when
you said you loved me!" he cried the
bitterness" of his disappointment mak-
ing him cruel.
"No" she said. "I loved you and I
shall always love you. It Is just for
that reason that you must continue
dead to me. I cannot trust myself
with you."
And he left her.
This was the story of grandmother's
life as I read It from the old diary. I
remembered an old man who llvd in
the neighborhood and whom we chil-
dren called "the Chevalier." I identi-
fied him with Ilt.mre. When grand
mother became a widow and when f .
she ws an old I.-'y to us he came
to live near her and 11-cy spent many
long hr'urs together l'i the sweetest
and purest companionship. I. under;
slocd that the two old friends were
dear to ae onotker because their af
fection had been founded upon some-;
thing inore than friendship. They
were too old to have might to fear !
from pnssiping tongues and tbey had J
so uni"h time to make up that they Jf o
could not "deny themselves the sad-
dened pleasure of daily Intercourse. !
-I puf.tbo little diary safely back in
the old wardrobe and left the dear
old room. From the French.

Croker May Quit Turf.
There Is much curiosity as to what
Richard Croker will do In the present
dat racing season in England and Ire-
land. The number of horses at the
Glencalrn stables has been considera-
bly cut down and racing men say
Kbodora Is the only animal worth
311(11 consideration that Croker pos-
sesses. The belief Is general that he
will not be mi:-h heard of In the rac-
ing world this year.
It Is stated in Irish racing circles
that eroker practically has made up
his mind to quit the turf. Croker ha3
declared that tlie only successful rac-
ing man is he who breeds fceds.tralns
and rides his own horses.. Moreover
he has been badly bitten several times
by men be trusted to look after his
stables.
Sheppard May Quit Track.
Mclvlu W. Sheppard champion mid-
dle distance runner of the world and
holder of two Olympic records has in

If be intends to hold on to his present

ed States customs service he must quit
running. Sheppard made a bit with
former President Itoosevelt and soon
after the return of the Olympic team
he was appointed an Inspector at New
York. Slrice then be has participated In
several races but he-has failed to show
his old time form. Sbeppard sayshe

hs he desires to ad ranee in the cus-
toms service be will obey the order.

HER GREAT HAUL
The Female Burglar Wasn't Looking
For Diamonds or Greenbacks.
It was 2 a. m. on Easter morning
nnd all was not well.
Quiet reigned supreme however 0
Fifth avenue the scene of our tale
and only occasionally was the silence
broken by the moans of some female
who tossed and turned and dreamed
that the bull pup had devoured her
new Easter bonnet.
As the hour rang out a man and wo-
man in uf lied up to the ears and glanc-
ing suspiciously about them turned In
from a side street and that they were
not out to b-y a piano on the Install-
ment plan or to view the scenery
would have been evident even to a
policeman had one been In sight. The'
couple had walkfcd a distance of three
or four blocks when the man nudged
his companion and softly said;
"That's the house Lll; four doors
ahead there to the left."
"I see it. BUI." she whispered.
A moment later' they stopped hty;
front of a large brownstone residence
and after a careful look up and down
the street the gate was opened and
they were soon at work. As thejjtf
stood iu the handsomely furnished
front hall the woman said:
"You remain here on watch BUI
while 1 get the swag. If all goes well
we may be able to buy out that gam-
bling house and become honest peo-
ple." "Take no chances Lll" he cautioned
her. "I'd do the trick myself only I
want to be near the door where I can
watch the moon."
With a dark lantern In one band and
a revolver in the other she softly tip-
toed up the broad stairway and it was
half an hour later when she returned
to her companion with a large bundle
In her band.
"Anything doln'?" he asked.
"The best hanl we ever made!" she
excitedly replied. "Come let's get out
of this."
An hour later they were safe at
home and as the man removed his hat.
and overcoat he remarked:
"Sparklers and silverware I sup-
pose." "No. Bill: I didn't see a diamond in
a room I searched."
"Well it's just as well. Bank notes
are good enough for us. and It's no
trouble to get xid of 'em."
"Nor did I come across any bank
notes." said the woman as she began
to unwrap the package.
"But but I thought you said you
had madejhe haul of your life. What
have you Kotrrbeie anyway?"
"Look. Bill JusG look at that!" And
she held up a woman's hat for him to
see. "Isn't that just the swellest Eas-
ter bonnet you ever laid your eyes on?
And today's Easter too!" A. B. Lewis
In Judge.
Called.
When they drew near an ice cream
soda sign he started up an animated
conversation to divert her attention.
However she was wise to the trick.
"Darling." he whispered rapturously
"you are the prettiest girl I ever met
Yon are as pretty as" a picture postal
card "
She smiled sardonically.
"Indeed!" she responded. 'And do
you know. Percy that you remind me
of a picture postal card."
"Ah! Because I am so handsome?"
"No. Because you are so cheap."
And after that there was nothing to
do but take her back to tbe marble
counter and set up the sodas. Chicago
