A BIT OF HUMAN NATURE.
BY DAVID CHRISTIE MURRAY.

la than 1t would have done IN the case of a
young lady and gentleman who had been
bred to know better. Her coming was re-
lief to them, for the silence on both sides
was felt to be oppressive.
At dinner which came shortly afterward,
Lawrence talked to the BarOnial brethren
with unusual animation, but he said little to
Olivia, and she said little to anybody. Love
is droll little deity at times, and this was
one of the fogs he takes pleasure in making
for the unhappiness of his vOtaries. The
cloud rested all day on Olvia's spirit, and
Lawrence dared to do nothing to liftit. The
elders, who were not unusually blind per-
haps, after all, saw and imagined nothing.
To their minds things were going in quite
the established way, and Lawrence was just
as much an accession as he had been from
the first. Only for Olivia there was nomOre
sisterly freedom with this new and charm
ing friend.
Lawrence played and Olivia sang in the
evening In the manner now growing CUSTOM
airy, but he was still in wrath with himself,
and still thought himself in disfavOr, and
she was sensitive to the sudden difference
which had come about in his manner. So
they went to bed dOlefully, and thought
about each other as they lay in the dark.
Why had he looked at her so? Why had she
blushed and futtered at the look? And why
had he since been so changed?
what do you suppose Love to be, you
Jackanapes" Lawrence demanded Of him
self. Love, my misdirected young friend,
is the sacredest of household fires. The
young man who is in so great hurry to
light the fire that he must needs put car
tridges amongst the Goals is likelier to blow
the CRATE to pieces than to warm the hearth"
He took as many airs with himself as If
he were Superior Person with fool for
pupil, and lectured himself pitilessly, to
very small effect, since at the end of all his
exhortations and advices he was as hope
Iessly in love as ever.

CHAPTER VI.

1t was Suzette, the elderly nurse from the
village, who had been retained to attend
Chi Lung, who first set abroad the theory
that that interesting Pagan was devoted to
Olivia, and that he worshiped the very
ground she trod on. The aged nurse in
stanced many things in support of this opin-
ion. 1t did not matter, so she said, how
crazy the Celestial might be (and he had
many lapses into delirium before he finally
came round), he would stop chattering
when Olivia spoke to him, and would listen
to her voice. II he happened to be sensible
on her entry he would smile on seeing her,
however much he had groaned and moaned
before she came, and while she remained In
his chamber he would watch her like dog,
following her everywhere with his elongated
eyes. When he had refused food or medi-
cine from the nurse or from Olivia's aunt,
and had protested against 1t in his shrillest
manner, he would accept it from Olivia
without murmur. He was not grateful
patient. He was not tractable. He was in
all other respects an unpleasant object to
contemplate, but the heather loved Olivia.
This was SuZette's constant song in the
village, whenever she could escape thither,
and nobody in the village was at all disposed
to wonder at 1t. 1t came easy and natural
to everybody to love Mademoiselle Olivia.
Her ideas of money were English and not
Belgian, and so when she opened her purse
to relieve distress she opened it to a width
which astonished the recipients Of her
bounty. Her smile gladdened all sad places,
and sorrowful and joyful hearts both well
coined her. Suzette's statement Of Chi
Lungs attachment surprised nobody.
When his malady took a decisive favor
able turn the Pagan still mended as slowly
as il he had known into what good hands
he had fallen, and was determined to stay
in them as long as possible. Christmas had
come and gone again with no special observ-
ances at the Chateau. The New Year fes-
tiyities had been held, and the new year was
a fortnight old when Chi Lung, who had al
ready been permitted to potter about in
granary, corridor, and kitchens, was first al
lowed to face the fresh air. He wore an old
coat of the elder Baron's over his cotton gar
ments, and supported his steps, yet feeble
and tottering, with a big stick.
Now that he was at liberty in the small
est degree to display his own predictions,
Suzette pointed triumphantly to the fact
that whenever he saw Olivia he would go
toward her and follow her as well as he
might, and when she saw him would express
by smiles, and a curious kind Of cringing Of
the shoulders, the pleasure he felt in be-
holding her. He even made quaint ap-
proach to the pronunciation of her name,
and would repeat 1t in her presence as IL he
felt pleasure In it.
Lawrence had given him an old pipe, when
his eonyalescenee began. and had since
