might lead you to list him almost anywhere

contemner OF the conventional For the third
time now the poet had left his writing desk
the top of which was strewn with papers and

was evidently expecting some one. Each time
as ne made his way back to his easy chair he
paused to gaze upon the face OF a sleeping in

Count Charles had had chance to press a

The crowd fell back respectfully and the
poet, accompanied by his mother and Aurelie,
passed out upon the veranda. The COOL nigh,
air was deliciously refreshing. The moon had
risen and the pleasure grounds Of the villa
looked enchantlngly beautiful Charles awoke
from a sort OF dream to find himself wandering
through them, now passing beneath an arbor,
now skirting trellis heavy with Towering

Suddenly faint, peculiar perfume reached
his nostrils. He shuddered, for it was the per-

poisoned him. His first thought was to throw
himself into the pond by the side of which they
were walking, his next was to strangle the
beautiful creature by his side. his last to fee
from her as il she were contagiou. He did
none OF these. He staggered to q seat and
drew the young girl down beside him, half
upon his lap. Her head fell backward on his
breast and her mass Of golden hair, upon which
ray OF moonlight lay at that instant, seemed
adame-ahame with . ire which thrilled him
with ecstacy while it consumed him.
.'Aurelie, Aurelie!' he whispered hoarsely.
In ANOTHER instant his lips would have reached
hers, but that instant never came, for the cry

"oh, my son, my son." sObbed the countess

"And, mother, and Mademoiselle de sey-

and conducting Irma and little Robert toward
them, "when you both have learned to know
how much Countess Irma is worthy Of your az
lection am confident you will not withhold it
from her."
'Grandma, are you angry with me?" inquired
little Robert, still ciinging to his mothers

But before the countess dowsger could reply
Irma had taken step forward and was about
to throw herself upon her knees, but 9 strong

aglow with suppressed indignation, where

"Not for forgiveness, Charles" said Irma, in
that glorious full and mellow voice of hers,
'but in token of respect and devotion TO your

and action? Are parasites good for

Botanists tell us that in the great
forests of the tropics there is an inno-
cent looking vine which starts up
closely nestled beside a stalwart oak.
When it has grown foot or more,
leaning against the tree, it throws out
two slender arms, which Irvine about
the oak for support. 1t grows on until
it again begins to totter, when again
two arms steal slowly forth and creep
round the strong tree to borrow of its
strength. And thus, ever dependent
upon another to lift it up towards light

at each stage, it climbs toward the sky
