CHAPTER XII

But tho next noon time brought him to the
market stall, and the next also, and so the
summer days slipped away, and Bebee wa.
quite happy If sho saw him in the morning
time, 10 give Tin fresh roso, or at evening
10y tho gates, or under the beech trees, when
ho brought her now book, and sauntered
while up the green lane BESIDE her.
An innocent, unconscious love like Eebees
wants 50 littlo food 10 make IL all content.
Such mere trifes are beautiful and sweet to
It. Such slender stray glaans of light suffice
to make broad, bright, golden noon Of per
feet joy around it.
AL the dolirium, and fever, and desire, and
despair, that arc in fuaturer passion, arc far
away from IL, far as is the dash OF tho me-
teor across sultry skies from the b!ue forget
me-not down in the brown meadow brook.
1t was very wonderful 10 Bebee that he,
this stranger from Iubes' fairyland, could
como at all TO keep pace with her little clat
tering wooden shoes, over the dust and the
grass, in the dim twilight time Tho DAYS
went by In a trance Of sweet amaze, and she
kept count of the hours no more by the
cuckoo clock Of the mill house, or tho deep
Chimes Of tho Brussels belfrias; bat only by
such moments as brought her word from
bis lips, or even glinipSe OF him from afar,
across the crowded square.
She sat up half the nights reading the books
be gave hen, studying the long, cruel polysyl-
tables, and spelling slowly through the
phrases that seemed to her 90 craInped aud
tangled, and which yet were pleasure 70 un-
sSevel, for sake Of the thought they held.
y For Bcbee, Ignorant, little simple soul that
she was, had a mind in her that was eazer,

"Aou are cross, Jeannot, that Is what II
is," she said after awhile. "You should not
be cross; you arc too big and strong and good.
Go In and get my bowl Of bread and milk for
me. and hand II to me up hero It Is 30 pleas.
ant. 1t is as nice as being perched on an
apple tree"
Jeannot went In obcdiently and handed up
her breakfast to her, looking at her with shy,
worshiping eyes But his face was overcast,
and be sighed heavily as no took up his
hntchet and turned away; for he was tho
sole support Of his mother and sisters, and II
no did not do his work In Soignies they
would starve at home.
"You will be seeing that stranger acainf'
he asked her.
"Yesi" she answered, with glad triumph
In her eyes; not thinking at all Of him as she
spoke "You ought to go, Jeannot, now,
you are 80 late. l will come and soc your
mother tomorrow. And do not be cross, you
dear big Jeannot Days arc too short to
snip them up into little bits by bad temper;
1t is only stupid sheep shearer that spoils
the Gcece by swapping at it sharp and hard
that Is what Father Francis says"
Bebeo having delivered her little piece of
wisdom, broke her bread into her milk and
ate 1t, lifting her face to tho fresh winds and
tossing crumbs to the wheeling swallows, and
watching the rose bushes nod and toss below
In the breeze, and thinking vaguely how
happy q thing IL was to 1.-Two.
Jcannot looked up at her, then went ON his
slow, sad way through the wet lavender
shrubs and tho opening buds Of the lilies.
"You will only think of that stranger.
Bebee, never of any Of us-never again, he
said and wearily opened tho little gate and
went through it, and down tho daybreak

say; but when were lovers ever wisei
Bebee did not heed; she did not understand
herself or him; she ouly knew that she was
happy; when one knows that, one does not
want to seek much further

HONORED OLD MAIDS,

JOANNA BAILLIE, poet and play-writer ot great renown, was never married.
 SISTER DORA, the brave spirit of English pest-houses, whose story is as helpful evangel, was the bride of the worlds sor- row alone.
 JANE PORTER lived and died an old maid. The children of her busy braln were 'Thad- deus of Warsaw and 'sThe Scottish Chiefs," which have moved the hearts of millions with excitement and tears
 MARIA EDGEwoRTH was an old maid. It was this womans writings that first sug gested the thought of writing similarly to Sir Walter Scott. Her brain might well be called the mother of the Waverly Novels.
 FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE, most gracious lady, heroine of Inkerman and Balaklava hospitals, has, to the present, written Miss" before her name. The man who should marry her might well crave to take the name of Nightin gale.
 ELIZABETH, of England, one of the most illustrious of modern sovereigns. Her rule over Great Britain certainly comprised the most brilliant literary age of the English speaking people. Her political acumen was put to as severe tests as that of any other ruler the world ever saw.
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1889-04-08
STATED OF STATESMEN.

NOTHING can indu ce Senator Voorhees, to ride in street-car drawn by a white horse.
 SENATOR CALL will bury or burn pair of socks, one or both of which he has put on wrong side out
 WHEN Senator Harris, of Tennessee, is in doubt as to the course of action he decides it by splitting at a mark.
 SENATOR JOE BLACKBURN not only takes the white horse, but also one having white spot on it or one white foot.
 REFRESHMENTS KENNEDY, of Ohio, wears a voodoo charm which he obtained from an old negress in the swamps of Louisiana.
 SENATOR SHERMAN will not extend his left hand in greeting or receive one extended to him-a familiar habit with politicians.
 IF Senator Vest, of Missouri, meets a beggar in the streets before he has spent any money he invariably gives to the men, uicant.
 SENATOR EDMUNDs regards It as un- lucky if the first person he meets on emerg- ing from his house is women, and will re- turn for a fresh start.
 REPRESENTATIVE ALLEN, of Mississippi, the funny man of the House, is never with out the traditional rabbits foot, which he killed in the dark of the moon in d grave yard.
 SENATOR EvARTs is great admirer of the flaming beauties of the circus posters and theater announcements on the bill-boards, which taste he has in common with Hale, of Maine, Butler, of South Carolina, and Pascoe, of Florida.
 IF the first person Representative Breclz- inridge meets in the morning is a colored man or woman he crosses to the other side of the street. He claims that if he continues on the same siSe he will be hoodooed for the entire day.
