my tears. Next day my uncle sent me back,
in the B diligence, to my respectable
parent--to whom, you may feel assured,
never breathed a word of my adventure
My uncle died. his house and furniture
were sold; probably the tapestry was sold
with the rest. But long time afterward.
while foraging the shop Of a bric-a-brac
merchant in search Of oddities, l stumbled
over great dusty roll of something covered
with cobwebs.
"What is that7" said to the Auvergnat
"That Is a rocco tapestry representing
Nine, Ouphale and NJ. Hercule; it is genuine
Beauvais, worked in silk and in an excellent
state of preservation. Buy this from me for
your study; will not charge you dear for
it, since it is you"
At the name Of Omphale all my blood
rushed to my heart
"Unroll thst tapestry" said to the mer-
chant in a hurried, gasping voice, like one
in a fever.

mouth smiled graciously at Inc, and that her
eye lighted up on meeting mine.

estry was no longer there. An Englishman
had bargained for it during my absence, Of
fered COO francs for it and taken it away
with him
After all perhaps it was best that it should
have been thus, and that | should preserve
this delicious souvenir intact. They say
one should never return to first love- or
look at the rose which one admired the even

And them am no longer so young or SO
handsome that tapestries should come down
from their walls to honor me.-Translated
