In 1876, that memorable year memorable as the year of the electoral commission Governor Gaston magnanimously declined the re-nomination, which a large majority of the convention was undoubtedly eager to confer. The nomination of Charles Francis Adams was to the rank and file and to the party managers a disappointment, and the enthusiasm that he was expected to arouse was not materialized.

"Wait!" she ran her eye down the page. "'Beautiful woman with a Past' that's the girl up in the other Masquerader's shack, that girl Joyce, you know, and Gaston and here's Peggy Falstar 'woman sunk to man's level and reproducing her kind' brief note of Billy Falstar as 'impish child' oh! here you are! "'Village Bacchus. Tall, handsome, but lost, apparently, to shame.

Of course, he only talked of the most general subjects to Mrs Villiers, and never by any chance let slip that he knew the seamy side of life a side with which this versatile young gentleman was pretty well acquainted. As a worker, Gaston was decidedly a success.

"Where have you seen me?" "In the picture on the wall, sir." "Whose picture, Falby?" "Sir Gaston Belward, Sir." A smile lurked at the corners of Gaston's mouth. "Gaston Belward. Very well, then you know what to say to Sir William. Show me into the library." "Or the justices' room, sir?" "The justices' room will do." Gaston wondered what the justices' room was.

I mean Mistress Joan Vavasour herself." "What!" cried Gaston in amaze "the maiden whom Peter Sanghurst is to wed? Sure that were a strange counsellor to choose! Good John, thou must be dreaming."

Her mother, left with an illustrious name and a small income, took for a second husband a member of the court, Gaston, duke of Orleans, to whom we have previously alluded, who was brother of Louis XIII. and uncle of the king. He resided at Blois.

The house was full of voices, and the sound of trampling feet went up and down from room to room; but all he heard was Gaston Carew's worn voice saying, "Thou'lt keep my Cicely from harm?" Until night fell they sought the town over for a trace of Cicely; but all to no avail. The second day likewise. The third day passed, and still there were no tidings.

"Ye need go no longer in that fear," cried Gaston, with a kindling of the eyes, as he bared his noble head and looked forth at the old man with his fearless glance, "for in me ye will find a master whom none need fear who do their duty by him and by the King.

Tell Henri to give you your lunch," she called out between The Dancer's idiotic prancings. He watched her ride away, with Gaston a few paces behind and followed by the escort of six men that the Sheik had lately insisted upon. The continual presence of these six men riding at her heels irked her considerably.
