Come, be still, silly one, 2 said Noel. in
his harsh, rough voice, at the sound Of
which the poor girl gathered up her skirts
with both hands, and pursued her erratio
course toward Saint Georges.
We seated ourselves OF, neiphborino

my request, after having first taken drop
to restore cheerf uIlness the keeper began
his narrative, to the hoarse ACCOMPANY

Jeanne's father lsaid NOEL is the host OF
the inn where you are now Shaving. Pre-
yious to her misfortune. Jeanne was uni
versally considered to be the belle Of all the
country hereabouts; nor was there within
raids of tea leagues an inn more frequented
than that Of Pere Simon. The line Of car
riages drawn up in the courtyard SUNDAY
after Sunday was sight worth seeing.
Calashes and omnibusses from Hayre, con.
veying thither gay parties attracted to the
inn by the fame Of it's ns0telote hunters,
eauipages, with their liveried coachmen;
to say nothing of travellers gigs Of every
description, and heavy farm wagons, whose
horses stopped Of their own accord before
the door. ll

were wont to assemble ia friendly cnnyersa

rows Of wine bottles. In short, everywhere

sOn the alert that nnthing might escape Her
eye or her ready. wit, and was aiWays ready
to laugh at good Joke. which no one conl1
better appreciate than herself.
Fl Pere Simon, seated at his counter IN the
midst Of many hued bottles. gathered insthe
earnings that cost him nothing but the
trouble Of clinking classes with his puasfa
