III.

But all her troubles had not been told,
for her younger son, a child of four,
was stricken with one of the cruel COM
plants that are 20 often found in Nor
mandy, a malady which wastes their
flesh, saps their forces and al last kills
them the local name OF which is cdrreTu
One evening, as little Jehan, pale,
weak, his visage sunken with pain, Law
moaning in his cradle. while Clotilda
and little Ludwig we're straining at the
bar chat turned the milestone. an old
man approached, walking with difficulty.
and seated himself on the stone bench at
the door. IL was sheltered but irdiffer-
emily from the sharp breeze of evening
in the folds of the remnant Of a torn
cloak and his bare feet were dusty and
bleeding. He did not speak, but his a.
pect spoke for MIN.
Clotlda ceased her labor at the mill.
and approaching him, said: NV faith
er, you are tired and doubtless hungry
God knows there Is little enough for the
children and me. but what there is. [ be-
seech you, come and share with Us"
:" Be blessed, my daughter" said the
old man, in 2 gentle voice: g YOU alone
of the whole cOuu try-sjde have opened
your door to me- And entering the
cottage he sat down to meat, not without
having cast q searching and plying
glance at the humble surroundings
Noticing the cradle of little Jehan, the
old man went to it, took the chit in his
arms. and laying his hand on Its hard
and swollen stomach, pronounced brief
prayer. There, woman, he said,
giving her the little one, on whose cheek
the rose of health had suddenly bloomed,
your child Is cured. This work Is TOO
hard for you; hereafter let the water
which runs before your door do the work
t you. 1t viii enrich you and they so
long as you and they remain as | have
found you, pious, compassionate, sue
coring the poor and trusting in God
At that moment the mean howell shone
with celestial light The old man was

But they had not laid hands on him,
when tremendous gust of wind smote
the country and laid everything level
with the ground-mill, trees, dwellings,
barns. The earth trembled, the skies
were black as ink; the roaring waves
ran up and swallowed the ruins.
The old fisherman was none other than
the great Saint Martin. The white
horse on which he now appeared casr a
lurid light, and the rider cuirass glOwed
ike lightning In the pitehy darkness.
William Coquin," said the saint,
sternly, "you have proved false to the
faith and promise of your fathers. Of
the fortune and wealth God gave you
you have made an evil use; you have
neither been liberal nor just towards the
poor and unhappy, who are the friends
of God. Therefore you shall become
poor and more wretched than the mean
est of them, and your name even. hith-
erto blessed and honored, become the
designation of all that are wicked and all
that are vile.
He said this, and disappeared at a
gallop, In the midst of a sheet of light
ming that cast a baleful glare over the
wrecked and ruined countryside.
On the morrow no trace could be seen
Of mill, stones or creek; nay, there was
not even the original riyulet left.
History records that the wicked miller
was reduced to such frightful restitution
that he was forced to dispute withgthe
swine the rotten apples that the farmers
cast aside as worthless; at last he vanishs
ed from the Norman country-no one
cared to ask whittier.

Pure Water and Cholera.

During the three epidemics of 1882,
1S49 and 1854, when the whole, or almost
the whole, water supply of Glasgow was
pumped out of the river Clyde, the mean
mortality of cholera was 1919 per 10, 900,
while during the epidemic of 1866 after
the magnificent supply from Loeb Kat
rine had been introduced, it fell to one
and six-tenths per 10000 of population.
These figures Prof. Bischof holds, prove
that pure water prevented the spreading,
while the river water was the chief car
rier of the contagion.

As the great saint had predicted, the
name of COquin assumed a new and dis
graceful meaning, aud when nowadays
it is said of man that he is a coqgjn I
there needs not to be said much more
about him. Nevertheless there still live
at Etretat family of excellent. honest
folk, descendants of Clotilda, who have
nothing in common with the unworthy
miller except the name
As for the river, if ever you 90 70
Etretat you can see Tor yourself that no
trace of it remains, neither is there q
mill, not yet any source of prosperity
save the tide of strangers that once a
year breaks upon the lonely and rugged
shore.
AT low tide, however, Saint Martin,
having pity upon the poor women that
needed soft water for their washing, has
permitted the lost creek to reappear here
and there in little pools among the
boulders of It's old bed, so that for q
little while daily or nightly they can
beetle their linen. When the tide
comes in, however, you see no more of
the stream than if there never had been
such a thing
Fin ally, as for the great Saint Martin,
it Is many long day since his appari-
ton in Normandy has been credibIy re
corded, possibly because Of his indifer-
ent success on g previous occasion. 1t
is, however, known that at the begin
ming of the last century family tracing
/ its descent from him, lived and fiourished
in Normandy, and it is altogether proba-
bic that Its representatives survive to
this day. Indeed, less than forty years
ago such representatives dwelt in the
chateaux of Lions-la-Foret and Neuf-
chateI, TO whom their great progenitor
had bequeathed the power Of curing the
cdrredu by the imposition OF hands; 20
! that annually, in the month of Septem-
Der, the sailors and peasants brought
their children from al parts of the coun.
I try TO invoke the protection of the saint,
through the instrumentality of his de,
scendants.

Fashionable FOOifshuess.

There is no modern fashionable notion quite
so absurd as the generally received idea that
TO be beautiful and attractive a woman must
possess wan, spirituelle face. and figure of
sylph like proportions-s fragility in nine cases
out OF ten the result of disease. By many
fashionable bellies it is considered a special
compliment to be spoken of as frail and deli
cate, They forget that the naturally delicate
face and petite figure are very different from
the pale and disease stricken faces that meet
us III the city thoroughfares, look out from
the luxurlant carriages Of wealth, and glide
languidly through cur crowded drawing rooms.
Ii disease were questionable, as it ought to
be, not lady in the land but would take every
possible precaution to secure the fresh, bloom
ing face and well rounded figure that only
health can give. Ladies should remember
that much as gentlemen may profess to admire
the face and form paled and emaciated by dis
ease, WREN they choose a wife they prefer
blooming healthful, buoyant-spirited woman.

Next morning, when Clotilda and the
children awakened they could not be-
lieve their eyes The little rill had be-
come broad creek and the shed great
stone building. A dam stretched across
the stream, whose pent-up waters drove
a huge wheel that filled the air with its
harmonious tic-tac and turned six beau
tiful sets of millstones-stones that gave
a -four so fine and white that never had
there been seen its like in all Normandy.
Besides this, the stream watered and
fattened the land through which it flow
ed, the fields it watered yielded triple
crops, and the cattle that pastured there
throve as none others did
The mill of Etretat became famous
throughout the country. There was no
farmer so far off but he sent his grist to
it, and soon Clotilda's poverty gave place
TO wealth, and she and her children died
rich, happy and full of days, after hav-
ing done great good upon the earth and
never having closed their doors to the
poor.

he wore the same fragment of a cloak
the needy wayfarer had wrapped him
self in.
Clotilda, pressing her two children to
her breast, fell upon her knees, for she
recognized the great Saint Martini who
often appeared in Normandy, where
still dweit descendants of his family.
Saint Martin stretched his hand to-
wards the stream-towards the hut; his
horse sprang forward, and the vision
vanished in luminous ray.

Long, long afterwards the pOSSeSSOr of
the famous mill, naturally a descendant
OF Clotilda, was one William Coquin.
He was rich, as none of his forefathers
had been, but he had inherited none of
their good qualities, being hard to his
servants, greedy of gain, naughty to-
wards his interiors and pitiless for the
poor and unfortunate. off they suffer-"
he would cry, cit is because they de-
serve to suffer" Unhappily, all the
countryside followed his sad and cruel
example, 50 prosperous and independent
had Etretat become.
One evening William Coquin was en-
joying the cool of the day in his arbor,
listening to the murmur of the mill
stream and the joyous whirr of the
wheel that never rested night nor day !;
on the table were fine mug of cider, a
fair, white wheaton loaf and a delicious
little cream-cheese. Looking up, the
miller beheld approach timidIy an old
fisherman, old and bent-so old and bent
that he seemed well nigh broken in
twain. He was tanned as brown as
leather and a ragged fragment of q
cloak was wrapped around his shoulders
" Master" he said, humbly, &" a NOR
sci of bread and draught OF cider-I
have walked a long distance to-day and
am worn out; my boat has been ship
wrecked and | have lost all but these
rags. Have mercy on me, and l will
pray for you"
'sOut of here! Get outI" screamed
the angry miller, falling into frightful
passion; away, you dog, How dared
you, miserable vagabond! enter my
grounds without permission? Go. Had
you behaved yourself you would not
bave had to beg and sponge on others.
Otto the devil with you'll"
And as the old man still begged bit
of bread the miller called his men to
drive him out.
