with his list on the counter, Jules was eject
ed through the doorway -fOr the time being.
The blow Of his hand had set the glasses
trembling, but it did not IN the least shake
Jeanne's resolution
a few days previous to this occurrence
Raymond had sent from Rennes picture
representing himself in his character Of arr
tlleryman. This photograph was indeed a
work of art. The stripes Of his pantaloons
and. the facings Of his coat were painted
red, and his big white gleved hands were
crossed on his sword Pale with anger, she
handed it to her father, SAYING: &
And it is this booty you would have me
marry. Very we'll; I viii answer you IN
your own words: never, never, neverl' And
she tore the card into pieces, thus venting
her rage. s9
She was threatened with an attack Of ILL
ness, and Simon yielded. That Is the way

One evening NJ. Pielinot entered the inn
in person. The notary spoke IN low tone,
blinking mis- eyes behind his blue goggles;
but as he was taking his departure, behind
the half open door, the strained ears caught
these words:
They must be married do YOU under
stand! Will leave him my Office do you
understand"
N. Pielnots do you understand" was
more effective than the most eloquent APP
peal. Pere Simon understood, and so did
Jeanne, who immediately recovered her
health and good spirits. When Raymond
returned home, his term having expired, all
was in readiness for TIL wedding, the day
nxed, the music engaged. A scene was an
tlcipated -some violent demonstration on
the part of the Tilted lover. His associates
anticipated no little pleasure in being wit
ness to so interesting combat as the one
in view. But, to the establishment of all
who knew him, Raymond received the news
With the utmost sang -trosd. He lost color
momentarily, drank in single swallow a
large glass Of brandy, then, changing the
subject Of conversation spoke Of the hay
about to be harvested, and Of the apple
crop, which was unusually late. On the
following day he went back to work, and
accomplished more than any four men.
Pere La Thlele, delighted to find hin, so
( calm, pointed him out fto me as he bent over

Delaporte walked of with long strides, and
soon disappeared in the light fog that
doated over the meadows. I then called
