The moment he found himself at liberty
he took off his hat and feathers, and wrap
ping them in his silk mantle, rushed through
the streets towards ST. Gregory's, carrying
them under his arm. There stood Rose al
ready, in corner of the high church door,
expecting his arrival.
s.Ah, Pilip, dear Philip" she said, press
ing his hand, how happy you have made
me how lucky we are! l was very un-
easy to get away from my friends house,
and have been waiting here this quarter
of an hour, but never cared for the frost and
snow-my happiness was so great; l am
so glad you've come back" s-.-
aAnd too, dear Rose, thank God that
l have got back to you. May the eagles
fly away with these trinl.um- -trankums of
great people. But rll-tell you some other
time of the scenes I've had. Tell me now,
my darling, how YOU are, and whether you
love me stillIr -Hsf., ..f,,,- sd. ..-
"Ah. Philip, you've become great man
now, and it would be better to ask if you
still care anything for me-"
Thunder! How came you to know so
soon that I've been great man" 7" .r.,.s
',Why you told me yourself. All!
Philip, Philip, I only hope you won't be
proud, now that you've grown so rich. |
am but a poor girl, and / have been thinking
Philip, if you forsake me, | would rather
have had you continue a poor gardener. l
should fret myself to death if you forsook
me-" ..r ....f ...f.s. ..,.......
'What are you talking about, Rose ?
'Tis true that for one half hour have been
a prince, twas but a joke, and l want no
more of such jokes in my life. Now am
a watchman again, and as poor as ever.
To be sure have five thousand dollars in
my pocket, that l got from a Mameluke-
that would make us rich, but unfortunately
they don't belong to me" i.
';You're speaking nonsense, Philip" said
Rose, giving him the purse of gold that the
Prince had given her-"Here take back
your money, It's too heavy for my bag"
What should l do with all this gold
Where did you get it, Roses" I--r
"You won it in the lottery, Philip"
"What. have l won? and they told nue.
at the office that my number was not yet
out had hoped and wished that it
might come to give us setting up in the
world-but gardner Redmau said to me as
went a second time towards the office,
.sPoor Philip blank Huzza! have
won! Now will buy a large garden and
marry you. How much is it." ags.,.
care you crazy, Philip or have you
drank too much ?-You most know better
than can tell you how much it Is, ! on
ly looked at it quietly under the table at
my friends, and was frightened to see so
many glitering coins, all of gold, Philip
All! then l thought, no wonder Phiip
was so impertinent-for, you know,
you were very impertinent, Philp,-but
I can't blame you for it. o, l could
throw my arms round your neck and cry
for joy" ~ 4
= "Rose, if you will do it shall make no
objections. But there is some misunder-
standing here. Who was it gave you this
money, and told you it was my prize in the
lottery? l have my ticket safe in my draw
er at home, and nobody has asked me for
it." @ ~ i - fH .r.
'Ah! Philip, don't play your jokes on
me! you yourself told me it half ali hour
ago, and gave me the purse with your own
hand"
"Rose-try to recollect yourself. This
morning saw you at mass, and we
agreed to meet here tonight, but since
that time have not seen you for an in
stant." sH-4 gore fit. Hl1ot
"No except half an hour ago, when l
saw you at Steinmsn's door. But what
is in that bundle under your arm why are
you without hat this cold night Philip Phi
lip! Allthat gold may turn your BRAIN
You've been in some tavern, Philip, and
have drank more than you should. But
tell me, what is in the bundle? Why
here's woman's silk gown. Philip
Philip. where have you been?" 7N-l
"Certainly not with you half an hour
ago; you want to play tricks on me, fan
cy;-where have you got that money, l
should like to knows"
= "Answer me first, Philip, where You got
that woman's gowns" 'E H.
They were both impatient for cxplana-
