Good day, sir.
The Marquis bowed respectfully and
went out.
Arrived at home the Marquis dis

ing him not to say another word about
or to the lady in the blue hat without
his permission.
THE FRIEND AND COUSIN.
The Marquis found his friend Paul at
his house.
"My dear Medcric,'' said Paul, 8. /
have a confession to make. When I
came here, three weeks ago, swear
by my hoary-headed ancestors that /
had the most disinterested desire to
see you married. had pearl in my
hand that l would have given you on
the spot; but it is we'll to distrust your
first thought, because that is only good
1t is second thoughts which are best.
When found myself alone, I still said:
Yes, Mederic shall be happy. Haven't
better friend in the world But as I
was walking along l began to reflect:
Yes, have better friend, now, than
Mederic- that friend is myself Ire
turned to the beautiful widows, and
begged her not to 60 to the Church Of
Saint ROch, or, If she couldn't possibly
stay away, at least not to wear the pref
ty hat she wanted to wear for the first
time, for good luck. She laughed, she
blushed. She laughed again. Then I
mustered up all my courage. SAID to
her, I love you, my cousin And she
said, My cousin. l know it, And so.
my dear Mederic, have come to invite
you to the wedding. But, now, take
my head, for have betrayed friendship
One word, however: I have come and
come again, several times, in hopes of
meeting you. believed you had closed
your doors on me, and felt like taking
ofense. but finally contented myself
with writing to you.'' %
II did not get your letter.
II thought you were furious at not
meeting the lady in the blue hat"
II did meet her, and met her to such
purpose that I am engaged to her and
now ask you to my wedding. Only it
was a white and blue hat. =.
" did not get your letter.
II don't understand it," cried the
two friends in chorus, with as much
unison as if they had been actors at the
Opera Comique.
IL want to own up muttered the
valet, falling on his knees before his
master. "There is only one culprit
here, and that's me! First, I told
Monsieur the Marquis that Monsieur
the Viscount was out of town; second,
closed the door on Monsieur the Wis.,
count. suppressed the letters of both
gentlemen. To be brief, acted like q
rascal and, what is harder to admit,
like fool. l wanted to prevent my
master from marrying, and was ass
enough to put him in the way of it. If
it hadn't been for my folly you two
gentlemen would have met the next
day after that fatal Sunday. You'd
laughed q little about it at the club.
Monsieur the Marquis would have re-
tired from the affair as soon as he per-
ceived the feelings of the Viscount to-
ward his cousin and there would have
been an end of it.
"The rascal is right" cried Paul.
I" He has been the necessary obstacle
which makes these things successful"
"Well," responded Mederic, - my
wife doesn't take q dislike to him, IN
keep him.
"Monsieur the Marquis does me
great honor" said the valet, but
am bound to leave his service. I have
sworn to follow the example of my an
cestors, who died bachelors, every one
of them, and who never would consent
to 20 out to service with married peo-
pie: must religiously keep the prom
Use I made to myself"
CONCLUSION.
Mederic married the lady with the
blue hat. Paul married his cousin.
The two households are perfectly hap
py. Mcderic has given up his German
lessons. The little girl has an excel
lent teacher, but she thinks he doesn't
begin to teach her as much or as well
as her dear papa.
!" l have been intending for several
years. said the Marquis one day to
his wife, ito ask an explanation; but
we've always had something else to
talk about when we've been alone.
