and placed that also upon her head. While
be was occupied with her she noticed be-
tween her eyelids his fine and delicate face,
his large, honest eyes, and she felt herself
perfectly at ease with him, which she had
not done with Pierre.
"You are very kind, sir" said she; Hplease
tell me your name, so that my father can
thank YOU"
any name is Raymond De Noirville, but I
have done nothing to be thanked for"
Suddenly Suzanne grew pale again and lost
consciousness. At this moment Catharine
and Pierre came, and in few minutes the
carriole arrived. They made all haste to get
her to the cottage, where they placed her in
bed and brought doctor, who declared that
though the wound was grave and she had lost
much blood, she would be all right in fort
night, but that she would probably have a
fever. s ......
Raymond and Pierre were both anxious,
but dared not 60 to inquire about her, so
each in turn, and unknown to the other, be-
sought Catharine to ride over to the White
House and find out how the young lady was.
Catharine said:
"In whose name shall inquirer Yours or
your mother's"
"My mothers, of course" each, answered.
"Ah," thought Catharine, "this is not a
good outlook. Both brothers are certainly
head over heels in love with that young
American. 1t is sorry day when brothers
become rivals"
Catharine had presented herself as coming
from Nine. Do Noirville, which, under the
circumstances, mado it incumbent upon
Roger to 60 to Meridon farm to thank Nine.
De Noirville for the care her sons had given
his daughter, and he wished also to satisfy
himself as to the question of their identity.
He put off the evil day as long Us he posi-
bly, could, fearing that his suspicious would
Julia, and he dreaded any possibility that
either Of the young men might touch the
heart of Suzanne.
She had now been up and about several
days, and even began to take her customary
rides, and had already made two or three
discreet illusions to the duty he owed his
neighbors Of Meridon farm. Laroque under
stood that the moment had come, and he
must accede to tho demands of etiquette, and
also to discover if his fears were justified or
not. They drove over to the farm and were
shown in, when Raymond and Pierre re-
ceived them with effusion. Pierre then went
for his mother and she came in, dressed in
the deepest mourning. Pale, aged and bowed
and with her once raven tresseS almost white,
yet Roger knew her instantly, but her great
dark eyes were raised to his face without
recognition Of him. Nothing had told her
who stood before her. As to him, he con-
tanned his emotion with the most painful
effort, and he half looked to see Lucen ap-
pear.
MADAME" said the poor man, "your sons
have doubtless told you Of the accident
which happened to my daughter, and I was
anxious to thank them for their care of her,
without which most probably she would
have died there alone"
"You exaggerate the little service we
could render her, sir" replied Raymond.
Pierre was slow of speech at all times, and
now he could do nothing but devour Suzanne
with his eyes.
As Roger spoke Julia shrunll down in her
chair, and there was on her countenance
visible expression of fear, which, however,
none remarked Though sho had no idea of
Rogers identity the sound Of that voice had
never changed, and her thoughts wandered
to the days when Roger was still alive. His
eyes were upon Lucien. AS he ceased to
speak she listened still and she looked at him
with searching glance. But though it was
Rogers voice she was positive that the man
before her was not Roger.
Presently Raymond proposed that they
