my sister, Mau0e. AM nefriotVc,
would you force me to argue on such
q subjectw
A torrent OF tears stopped her words.
Some people in landau going TO
lunch at Pourville looked with stupe-
faction upon this old lady to whom
this charming girl was talking between
her sobs before this tall, pale young
man. The governess wagged her gray
head under her straw bonnet, without
saying word. with the resigned stub
bornness OF an old mule. But she
couldn't help grumbling:
"But the wishes Of my lord"
"But the supplications Of Missp re-
piled Daisy, excitedly.
charlotte, you must decide between
my father and me. You have often
declared that nothing in the world
would tempt you to leave me, and
that when am married you hoped to
live in my house TO take care Of my
children. All well, Harriette. If,
rather than TO please me, you should
insist on doing your duty should be
very, very sorry--but, Harriette, that
would end everything between u.s."
"Daisy," groaned the governess,
bursting into tears; '.oh, Daisy, IL is
all for my love Of you, my dear, you
know. II you asked my life-But
a thing so improper, so disobedient.
What would your father say IL he
should hear of itY"
~ shall tell him myself. Come, no
more. Harriette. love you; you are
good old dear"
And with her rosy lips she kissed
her goyerness' red and fearful face.
~ shall never forget, no never, what
you are doing for me. M. Stenio Mar
ackzy, my brother-in -law, will not for
get II either, / am sure"
The stranger lowered his head grave
ly, and turned toward Daisy.
"Do you wish TO see your sister,
Alas! you will not find her the same
as when you knew her. She is sadly
changed. Poor Maud, she is very ILL., !"
The little miss looked at her
brother in-law with eyes full Of an.
guish.
"In dangerY" she asked.
"Yes, Daisy, in danger"
She uttered half-stifled sob.
And followed by Harriette, who
seemed in great distress, the two
young people entered the courtyard
of the hotel. AS they went toward
the square pavilion which rises at the
right side of the facade they met a
very stylish young woman accompanied
by a reiigie,iSe wearing the gray gown

the Poor. Daisy turned with sudden
movement of the head and quickened
her pace, drawing Stenio along as II
she was afraid TO be seen in his COM
pany. But these precautions were
useless, and she heard the young wo-
man behind her say with an expression
OF much astonishment:
"Miss Mellivan and Marackzy.s
Daisy felt at her heart a sudden In
quietude, but she was sustained by
sentiments so powerful that she quick
ly mastered 1t. Stenio opened the
door of the pavilion, and followed by
her governess, the young miss entered.
The religieuSe had stopped and
gazed after the stranger intently.
Then, lifting her eyes to the sky, she
exclaimed:
.'Ah, if NJ. Marackzy would only let
us put his name on the programmes
of our concert what windfall IL
would be for our poor little orphans"
"You know, then, who Marackzy is,
Sister Elizabeth"
sIs his name not universally known,
like those OF List and Rubinstein."
Eyes, but unfortunately for us,
while his wife is so Ill he will not APP
pear in public. At Vienna recently
he declined to play for the Emperor,
to whom he Is greatly attached, for
Francis Joseph was his first patron"
"What he has refused TO sovereign
he will not accord to our wretched
children"
There is only one person who might
persuade him to--yes, Daisy Meliivan.
oh, wouldn't IL be magnificent? We
would put the seats at 40 francs and
would fiji the house. Receipts, 1000
francs at least"
Sister Elizabeth crossed her hands
over her breast In ecstasy, and her
lips moved as II in prayer.
