was a very long one, and she had to
stop now and then, to spell some of the
long and more difficult words, she had
not quite finished it, when several
knocks on the garden gate were heard.
There is no one to open in, grandpa,
said the little girl, interrupting her
reading.
You must 60 then,E said the Baron.
The garden gate was not far enough
from the piazza to prevent the old man
hearing the following dialouge, which
ootk place between yhis niece ands a
lady-astranger:
Does not a young lady, teacher of
the piano, live here?' asked the lady.
No, madam Julietta replied
1T must be here, certainly, my dear.
| had the exact directions of this house
given me. She may be boarder, whom
you do not know, my little one.'
In the whole house, there is no one
but my grandpa, who is Blind ans
wered Julietta in the impatient tone of
a little girl who liked not her word to
be doubted, and Adela my oldest SIS
ter; and Marianne the cook, and her
husband, the gardener, and my little
sister Mary, and the dog, and I: and
no one else, But sometimes a young
lady comes here who teaches the piano,
and perhaps she is the one you want to

1 wish to see Miss Adcla St. Andres,
who teaches the piano in the family
I never tell fbs, ma'am!' said JUL.
eta, impatiently interrupting her; my
sister Adela is not teacher of the pi-
ano. Don't you think I ought to
know!'
Does the Baron St. Andres live
here? asked young man, stopping
also at the half open gate.
Yes, SIR
Then, certainly, the young lady for
whom you are enquiring, lives here,
madam he said to the lady who was
questioning Julietta; land doubtless,
the Baron St. Andres, whom I seek,
is her grandfather And to the intense
surprise, and even anger, of Julietta,
who still insisted that her sister was
not a teacher of music, the young man
made his way to the piazza, approached
the blind grandfather, and, having as
sured himself that he was speaking to
the Baron St, Andres, said, Baron, I
have the pleasure Of announcing to you
that your pension is restored
Sir, sir, you must certainly have
mistaken me for some one else,' the
Baron said, his surprise almost as great
as that Of Julietta, for my pension has
never been taken from me. How then
can you say, it is restored?'
Are you not the Baron St. Andres,
who served in the reign of Louis XIV,
and Louis XVI, in the Vendean wars;
who had lost five sons in the wars Of
Empire?'
Yes, SIR the Baron answered.
Your grand daughter-the young Ia
dy Adela St. Andres-does she not
give lessons on the piano in the house
Of the Minister Of WARM fact, to my
sisters!'
Explain yourself sir! explain your
self the old man exclaimed. NV
lost! Adela! Three times day! 0! !
entreat you explain
1t is a very simple NATTER the
young man said: but how can you be
ignorant Of all this?-It is a fact that
have two sisters, and about year ago,
when they were seeking teacher Of
musit, your granddaughter, the young
lady Adela offered her services; she
was recommended by the Countess de
Bricourt, whose daughters she was al
so teaching. After some months had
passed, knowing that was in the war
Office, and that ! am the minister's
nephew, she told me that your pension
had been discontinued for two wears
