Their Strange
Guide
By DONALD GiAMBERLIN
Everybody iu Paris dines in a cafe.
That's what gives that city Its especial
flavor. After dinner this same "every
body" devotes himself to pleasure. Ed
ward Fawning, an American, and his
bride were in this city of joyful ad
ventures and were dining at u cafe on
Rue Rivoil. They had both heard of
the view of life to lie had In Paris
and had come there to witness It, hav
ing agreed that they would do so to
gether, the husband not goiug any
where that he could not take his wife.
Itut they did not know where to go.
What Is fhe use of being in a city
where strange sights are to be seen
without knowing where they are. what
they are or how to get to them? Then,
dinner finished, they were ready to go
forth to take a peep at this gay city,
but they still sat over their wine, for
they had no guide. A man sat at a
table near by. and Fawning, who spoke
French fairly. s::id to him:
"Monsieur, my wife and I are Ameri
cans who have come to Paris to see
what Is t > be seen, keeping within
the bounds of what a lady may wit
ness. Can you tell lis of some of the
places of Interest and how to get to
them."
"Would mosieur iiue si guiue?"
"Most assuredly."
"Then I nm at your service."
A bargain was struck wherein Fawn
ing: should pay r. > francs, or $10. and
the Strang >r should show them where
to go. A ta.vicab was ordered, and the
three enter. the stranger directing
the co.ichnr 'i v.'heve to drive.
"Are you :i '.'sslonnl "utile?" ask
ed Faivnlup as they rolled along.
"No. monsieur."
"I .-appose you took pity on us,"
rejoined Fa ^ -niiiir.
"I g.> witli you for company. I am
very alone in the world. I do not make
friends easily."
"What Is your regular business?'
"I am a surgeon."
Both brt.le and groom looked sur
prised. A r.tirgeou was not a man to
act as sruid • for a couple of Americans.
Besides, the man did not have a pro
fessional cut. On the contrary, he was
a very ordinary looking person.
"What is your name?" asked Fawn
ing.
"Call me monsieur. It wowd not do
for me to give you my name."
"I see. You. a surgeon, would not
Jlke to have it known that you have
been a guide. You need not fear for
us: we do not know a single person In
Paris. Hut I can understand your
fancy for taking up with n couple of
strangers for a few hours, especially
since you say you are In need of com
panionship. There is nothing so de
pressing as loneliness."
"Besides, my professional work Is
not inspiring."
"By no means. The severing of hu
man limlis. t<> inc. would be horrible."
They drew tip to a building where
the tango was being danced. Monsieur
told them to go up to a gallery and h"
would wait f»r them In the carria-re
Fawning asked him to go with them,
but he said that it would not do for
him to he seen. Fawning could not un
derstand where the companionship in
such a course came in. but acquiesced.
Indeed, there was something about the
man that gave Mrs. Fawning a dread
of him. and site was pleased that he
had remained behind.
Those foreign curiosities that one
bears so much about seldom come up
to tile expectation. Mrs. Fawning was
not cpeeially interested in the dances,
and they did not remain long. Mon
sieur drove them to several other
sights, but they were not especially
charmed. About 11 o'clock they stop
ped at a restaurant and invited their
guide to 1:0 in with them and driuk a
bottle of champagne.
"There will be no neeU tor you 10
pay for the Tvine." said monsieur. *'1
esteem myself honored by having been
admitted to your company. The fact is
that I must perform an operation in
the morning, and I dislike to be alone
in the meantime. I feel under great
obligations to you for keeping my mind
off my work."
They entered the cafe, and the guide
refused to take the fee offered him.
saying that he only agreed to it think
ing that Fawning would not accept
his services gratis. When the party
were seated at a table he ordered a
supper and champagne. Fawning In
sisted on paying the bill when It came,
but it did not come. Finally Fawning
said:
"Monsieur. 1 think we had better
pay for our supper and go; madame is
getting tired."
"In five minutes." returned the other,
looking at a clock. "I must go at 12
to prepare for my operation."
"What—an operation so early in the
morning!"
"The law prescribes the hour."
Mrs? Fawning looked at her husband
uneasily. There was something about
this strange man that repelled her. But
she held her ground till midnight, when
monsieur, bidding them good night, de
parted.
"Waiter, the bill!" said Fawning as
soon asftheir guide had gone.
"There is no bill."
"Why so?"
"Monsieur de Paris never pays. All
is free to him."
"Who is Monsieur de Paris? He said
he was a surgeon."
"A surgeon! Yes. he Is a surgeon in
a specialty. lie cuts eff the heads of
criminals."
Mrs. Fawning shuddered. "Come,"
she saI(L 'Met us get away at onee."
WILY WOMAN. WOH
She Made Up Her Mind to Gel
That News, and She Got It.
A FINE FIX FOR A PRESIDENT.
Anne Royull, the Mother of Newspaper
Interviews, Trioked John Quincy
Adams and Badgered Him Into Giv
ing Up the Information She Wanted.
i In Hearing the ground for some Im
provements In Potomac park Id Wash
lngton the contractor some time ago
j removed a stone that for nearly a cen
| tury was a quaint landmark In the na
tional capital. It is called the "Anne
Royall stone" and lay on the bank
of I he river just opposite tlie White
House, about twenty feet back from
the water's edge, at the top of a grass
covered knoll.
It was on this stone that Anne Roy
all silt when she had her famous inter
view with President John Quincy Ad
ams- nt least so runs the story that
has been banded down for three gen
erations by the inhabitants of Wash
ington.
And. according to that story, it would
appear that the good lady for whom
the stone was named was not only a
peiron of energy, but was endowed
i with considerable grim determination
as well. She evidently had a good
strong will of her own and an active
mind of her own. and when these two
started to work in concert in deadly
earnest results were bound to follow.
| Whether the, good lady's sense of hu
mor was cramped or extensive the
I reader must determine for himself.
! Anne liuyall was in a sort the mother
| of modern journalism She was the
originator of the "interview." She first.
| in lite little sheet that she published
In Washington in the second and third
decades of the last century, departed
from the dry forms that had always
ehiiriK terizeci newspapers.
She did not confine herself to a mere
summary of current happenings, even
spiced with careful essays on abstract
subjects, after the manner of Steele
or Addison She struck Ormly the "per
sonal note." She wrote and printed
tilings about public men as they were
In their daily lives—an Innovation the
startling effect of which we cannot re
alize today. Her paper was called the
Washington Paul Pry and afterward
the Huntress.
During the administration of John
Qulney Adams congress passed a cer
tain bill, the signing or veto of which
by the president was a matter of in
tense public Interest In those days
the interview of the president by a
newspaper man was unheard of. and
no one had the temerity to ask Mr.
Adams what he would do ln'the matter.
Hut there was one exception among
the timorous Journalists of that day.
It was Anue Ro.vall. She dared to ap
ply at the White House for a confer
ence with the president, the avowed
object of which was to learn from him
his intentions concerning the bill.
Poor Anne, however, was kept at a
discouraging distance. Day after day
she waylaid the president only to be
foiled by his attendants. But she did
not grow discouraged. She learned
that every morning. Immediately after
rising, the president walked to the
bank of the Potomac, some half a mile
in the rear of the White House, and
there, after taking ofi his clothes,
plunged into the stream for a switn.
One morning when the president,
after swimming far out into the stream,
turned to make his way back toward
the shore he was astonished to see,
sitting upon his clothing, which he had
left upon a stone on the bank, a spec
tacled female with a look of great de
termination. It was Anne Royall, and
beside her were a pen and bottle of
Ink. and in her band was a sheet of
paper.
"Woman, depart!" sputtered the
president as be swam op Into the shal
lows where he could touch the bottom
a-tlptoe.
"Yon know who I am, Mr. Presi
dent." said the woman, "and yon know
what 1 want. I'm going to sit here
nutil you tell me what you Intend do
ing with that Cherokee Indian bill."
"<io away, woman!" shot'ted the
presideut. "This Is scandalous!"
"It's scandalous." Anne Is reported
to have said, "that fbe people of a free
country have to resort to such extreme
measures to And out what their serv
ants are going to do. Yon give me the
Information that 1 am entitled to; then
I'll give you your clothes. Otherwise
I'll stay here—and you'll stay there!" I
There was only one outcome to such
a struggle. The shivering president
told Anne what he expected to do and
why he would do it Then, and not
until then, did Anne, armed with copi
ous notes, rise from the stone that she
bad made famous and hasten to bee

DEAFNESS MOT BE CURED

There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the Eustachia
Tube. When this tube Is inflamed
you have a rumbling sound of imper
f><-t hearing, and when it is entirely
closed, deafness is the result, and u.
less the inflamtlon can b e taken
out and this tube restored to its nor
mat condition, hearing will be de
stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by Catarrh, which is noth
