Waterbury evening Democrat., 1888-01-12

In spite of all the efforts of the two broth CTS, Suzanne did not regain consciousness, and they looked at each other in despair
 "We must get help," said Raymond. "She will bleed to death. Go bring Catharine and tell her husband to bring the calriole."
 At last Suzanne opened her eyes, though the pain ill her head was so great that she could scarcely see anything. She tried to rise but sank back again. Then Raymond tinaidly spoke telling her that she had had an accident and must keep still, that help would soon come. Then he brought water in his hunting cup and wet her handkerchief and placed that also upon her head. While he 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; Gplease tell me your name, so that my father can thank you"
 My name is Raymond De Noirville, but 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 q doctor, who declared that OnOuoH OAo WOulIu was U tSlHl SuS letu lOSb l much blood, she would be all right in fort night. but that she would probably have fever.
 Raymond and Pierre were both anxious, but dared not go to inquire about her, so each ill 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 inquires Yours or your mother's?'
 My mothers, of course" each answered.
 "Ah," thought Catharine, "this is not good outlook. Both brothers are certainly head over heels in love with that young American. It is sorry day when brothers become rivals"
 Catharine had presented herself as coming from Mme De Noirville, which, under the circumstances, made it incumbent upon Roger to go to Meridon farm to thank Mme De Noirville for the care her sons had given his daughter, and he wished also to satisfy himself as to tho question of their identity.
 He put off the evil day as long as he possi- ply could, fearing that his suspicious would take form and Mme De Noirville prove to be 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 l rides, and had already made two or three discreet allusions to the duty he owed his ncighbors of Meridon farm. Laroque under stood that the moment had come, and he must accede to the demands of etiquette and also to discover if his fears were justified or not They drovc 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 ii the deepest mourning Pale, aged and bowet' 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. tained his emotion with the most painful effort, and he half looked to see Lucien ap. pear.
 "Madame.n said the ~poor man, ayour sons have doubtless told you of the accident which happened to my daughter, and was anxious to thank them for their care of her without which most probably she would have died there alone"
 aYou cxaggerate tine littlo service we could render her, sir" replied Raymond.
 Pierre was slow of speech at all times. and now ho could do nothing but devour Suzanne i; with his eyes.
 II As Roger spoke Julia shrunk down in he, chair, and there was on her countenance ( visible expression of fear, which, however mono remarked. Though she had no idea o1 l Rogers identity tho sound of that voice haf never changed, and her thoughts wandered to the days when Rogzr was still alive Hi, slyss Msst Mptn LuSien. Al Id Biased ts
