sweetly. / never saw anything 80 love-

why, the man Ia In love, exclaim-
cd Edward Dubois, the heir to the muir
dered mans property
Half; and what's more, Edward, do
you know I'd marry that girl tomorrow
IL she'd have me, but know she would

by my faith,n said Edward, "you
amaze me, and am not easily amazed.
or course you are joking"
"Time will show. But now, my dear
fellow, adleu you follow that path In

"Adieue, q demdia."
Yes. You breakfast with me ut the

Agreed, my philosopher Adleu."
And Edward Dubois gallopped down
II narrow path leading to the chateau of
certain Count de Session, who that
day gave grand dinner and evening
party. AS soon as Arthur saw that he
was out Of sight he turned his horses
head toward the charcoal burners
hut.
When Madeline returned to the hut
and began making fire she told her
mother what had passed and showed her
the gold piece. They were used to this
kind of treatment, and the mother did
not feel IL much now. The scorn of flf-
teen years had made her despise the
world. But Madeline seemed hurt.
/" do not care" she exclaimed aloud,
mt last, "for what the young Monsieur
Dubois said; but am vexed that the
good-looking stranger should have said
that was not woman"
4" You are not woman butan angel"
exclaimed Arthur, solemnly. He had
approached on foot and had heard por-
| ton of their conversation.
The mother and daughter stood still In
dumb amazement.
a" You seem surprised, madam :" said
the young man, addressing the mother.
"You will be still more 80 when / add
that have returned with the deliberate
intention of imploring you to give me
YOU daughters hand in marriage not
now, instantly, but when you know me
better"
" Monsieur ~ exclaimed the mother,
Indignantly, "this is too much. Go. The
felon's daughter is still too good for in
suit"
" Madam" said Arthur, respectfully,
"perhaps your astonishment will cease
when i add that your husband is inno-
cent, and that have come 10000 miles
to prove it,"
=" You are speaking seriously p"
gasped the poor woman.
"On my soul and conscience" said
Arthur, solemnly.
"Oh, joy! oh, joy !" shrieked the
girl, clasping the man round the neck,
"the savior has come at last"
6 BE calm, my dear young lady, and /
will tell you my story in few words
You will then understand my motives
In coming here. 1 scarcely expected to
find you at Solenthal, but at least deter
mined to try. / came yesterday night,
and soon heard of your resignation and
courage. BE seated, dear girl, and listen
to tidings that will be joyful indeed to
your filial heart"
Madeline, blushing, her color going
and coming, obeyed, and seated herself
on log near the young stranger
