Sao NINON'S PRINCE. /.

twas the siege of Paris. Eugene
had fled from the Tuileries, the .provi-
sional government been organized un-
der Trochu. All Paris was in state of
wild alarm, and the Prussian armies
were steadily making their way toward
the city, investing one point after an
other, and rapidly cutting off all COM
munication between the besieged city
and the surrounding country q Winter
was coming on; food and fuel becoming
scarce; business was entirely suspend
ed; the boulevards were filled with
idle, airnless lOungers, gazing with sad
and hungry eyes upon the long defiles
of troops that marched before them.
The heavy rumble of the artillerywagons
echoed through the streets, and the
ambulances formed sad procession,
1, with their terrible suggestions of the
dead and wounded for whose convey
ance they were prepared. The air was
heavy with sadness; Paris shuddered
at the thought of the suffering that it
must encounter, and bitter wall arose
from the lips of the poor.
Into the quiet and aristocratic pre-
yeinets of the Faubourg St. Honore the
grim ghosts of famine and bloodshed
had not made their way, and the lux
uri0us entresol of the fashionable hotel
where Ninon, the gay little Baronne de
ValcQur, took up her usual abode during
the gay Partisan winters was all alight
with sunshine and flowers. Ninon her.
self was the dullest thing amidst all the
J, brilliant glitter of ormolu, gliding and
looking g-glass. She was leaning back
in her cushioned fauteuil, with the toes
OF her slippers extended toward the fire
and her. head thrown back wearily,
looking thevery personifcation of ennui.
aa "Would madame eat her breakfastp"
inquiries Fifne, with solicitude, as she
arranges the inevitable rolls and coffee
on a small table by her mistress's side.
Il Nirlon opens her eyes and shuts them
again, and the coffee grows cold. Fl
ilne knows her fate. If this cup of cof-
Zee Is spoiled, in half an hour she will
I" be called upon to prepare fresh one,
so Rhine ventures another suggestion.
~. Madame has no appetizer g..
.Fltine, you bother me. Go away"
Fifine departs, but returns again in
the space of two minutes. ta4~t9g
u Madame, voici monsieur
Madame turns her pretty little head
ana takes a comprehensive glance at
we tall young officer in the uniform of
ne, National Guard who enters the
- salon and makes his way to her side.

q .paa she does not take the smallest pains

Not yet. Would it be great source

, Don't you care for me at all,
don't be silly, my child. Tell me
sAal nus Excellency General Trochu is
