1ue SUN nc MN up, 100, ana showed
unrelentingly every wrinkle, every
ugly shade of color on his worn counte-
nance, which, when the leaden lids
were lowered, had something deathlike
about it. His slight form was envel-
cned In n fur cloak
Was it the sun or was 1t my gaze that
affected him-he opened his eyes sud-
denly. Now his face became animated,
but it was not an Improvement; it ap-
peared better in it's dcathlillc calm.
The man seemed to be aware of 1t, for
he drew out pair of spectacles, and
his piercing eyes disappeared behind
them.
This face dispelled every morning
dream, and I felt very sober and re-
membered that l was very near Nice
and Monaco, where one could walk I'M
der the palms at ones pleasure, and
need not be SO particular about form
ing ones friendships. With this thought,
and having in mind my former drowsi-
ness, felt for my portfolios; it was
there. 1t almost seemed as if those
spectacles had watched my movements,
and as If hooking smile lurked under
his black mustache.
Yet several tunnels, from whose gates
of rock one grects the sea with new
delight, and we were at Nice.
1t was still early, for Nice very early;
my chronometer, which l had set at
Geneva, pointed to half past seven.
A servant in livery stood at the coupe
door.
stepped back, In order to allow tho
others to pass out.
The gentleman, who was nearest me,
passed me by with polite bow. The
young lady drew her cloak closely
about her delicate form, and as the soft
material brushed me, and the delicious
perfume flOatcd about me, saw love-
ly, pale check, shcll-like ear, and
golden curls in the near distance.
AS both forms, followed by the SER
want, disappeared in the crowd, con-
solcd myself with the hope of again
meeting the handsome blonde; of course
only because she reminded me of my
little cousin!
In the meantime 1 entered n cab me-
chemically, and the coachman was
obliged to ask twice where Monsieur
wished to go before 1 remembered that
l had some luggage. At last every
thing was all right, and we drove
through the as yet quiet and deserted
streets.
The awakening of nature is truly
magnificent. In German beech forest
or in mountain village, where the
growing Of the cock and the reed of the
shepherd rouses the inhabitants, it is
grand; but in city, and in such n city
rs Nice, which has no peculiar char
actor Of its own, Int is cosmopolitan,
and serves as Il bathing resort, these
early hours have NJ charm. 1t is al
most rs if one were to surprise an
elegant woman of TIC world before she
has made her toilet. The incxplicablc
spell, the famous 'jc ne sails quot" is
still wanting, one is let into all the
secrets of the art.
On the little marllet-place all was
bustling, mountains of flowers were
being piled up-fruit, vegetables, poul-
try, and, amongst all these, flowers,
flowers, everywhere.
Yes, Nice is the garden of Franco;
everything is poisoning and growing
there, while with us the Christmas
roses send forth their pale buds from

thoughts become unbearable; that Is
why you see me unhappy about him.
We are fast friends, although we do
not converse much. We both spent
last winter here; then he was sadder
and more reserved than now"
l told her that we had been together
yesterday. She was pleased.
THAT is NICE" said she; "that will
do him good. He is forgetting alto
gether that he is still young and avoids
young folks. Towards you he could
fill the place of friend and mentor"
cas- am so utterly inexperienced, so
to say, groom said playfully.
"Well," she said, smiling, you can
not deny that you are young; be glad Of
it. You have so much to anticipate;
leave experience to your elders, who
have often bought it dearly"
While my old friend was speaking, I
saw the beautiful eyes of my pretty
neighbor at table, whom had so faith
lessly deserted to-day, fastened upon
me with peculiar expression. AS our
eyes met, she did not withdraw hers;
my pulse began to quicken and the
blood rushed into my face. She turned
away, and soon the full, supple figure
in the close-fitting jersey, passed by
arm-in-arm with her prim husband. My
eyes followed her to the door and was
rewarded for my perseverance. At the
moment of her exit the lovely woman
turned her head very naturally and
I received glance from her dark blue
eyes. "Do you know that 1ady?" I
asked my friend.

fresh sea air, the atmosphere seemed so
oppressive that mist passed before
my eyes, and feared that was about
to faint.
After n glass of wine the attack
passed off, and began to examine my
surroundings.
"Are you better nowQ" asked gentle
voice.
Surprised, yet grateful for SYM
pathy, turned toward the speaker and
looked into fine, elderly face and o
pair of dark brown eyes which still re-
tanned their warmth, though at the
same time they were very piercing.
''Our friend Louis, here" continued
she, pointing to the waiter, "has
already informed me that you are
q countryman of mine, SO I no
ticed you at once on your entrance
and was startled at your pallor. Now,
compose yourself; Louis offers you o
dish of which we are very proud
macaroni-than which one could not
md better in Naples"
With friendly smile she turned
away toward her neighbor, a COM
Portable, rosy Englishman with gray
hair and beard. She addressed him as

spotless linen, his fine teeth and his
enviable appetite, was such an excel
lent point de vue" that was well sat
isfied with this vis-a-vis.
The old lady chatted to him in Eng
lish and he listened, smiling pleasantly,
without allowing himself to be inter
rupted in his meal. She ate very little,
but appeared to be an honored guest,
for Louis often recommended her q
dish; and with her roast, instead of a
salad, she received a small dish of apple

watched the old lady with delight,
as she talked and her fine features
lighted up. She must have been charm
ing in her youth-she had still some
thing attractive about her. Over her
gray, simply arranged hair, she wore a
black lace cap, tied under her chin; it
framed her countenance nicely. Now
she conversed in French with her
other neighbor, tall Russian, whose

"Ahl I believe you are ridiculing an
old lady-you look so sincere, but are,
Us they say, more cunning than you ap-
pear. But wait; you shall not escape
me. Ishan watch over and guard you,

mothers sake, who, feel certain, is an

think it? There sits the anxious mother
at home, and wonders if her.dear boy
has arrived safely and If the journey
has done him no harm, and the
naughty boy-pardon, baron-the son
has been here since yesterday morning,
enjoying himself, thinking of brown
and golden curls, but not of his moth
er's gray ones. Ny gracious! how red
you are. Have accidentally touched a
tender spot?" I laughed and defended
myself as well as could. Then rose
and said that 1 wanted to write home
before twelve o'clock breakfast.
THAT is WE'LL" said the old lady;
"now I can fatter myself that I have
done good deed, for your mother will
receive her letter day earlier" She
nodded to me kindly and descended
the steps. Just at sharp angle col
lided with the young lady who had
been reading English poetry, and was
running up the steps like wild thing.
1 raised my hat and begged her par
don, smilingly. She blushed deeply,
made timid bow, almost like a school
girl, and away she ran, probably up to
the old lady. She did not look unhap-
Ply, but pretty-very prettyl
At breakfast the Russians seat was
vacant, and Miss Rennert said, sadly,
that he had gone to Monte Carlo, and
would not return to dinner either. I
took his chair and asked if he were a
professional gambler, as she seemed
worried about him.
81 am not troubled on account of his
playing" said she. "What can it hurt
him? He is wealthy and can afford to
lose thousands; but know from his own
words that he only uses gambling as a
means of forgetting. He has a great
sorrow; and only plays when his

''Come," at this moment said my COM
panion in an undertone; shat is real
trouble; it needs no witnesses. I am
ashamed to have seen it,
had like feeling and felt deep
compassion as well for the lovely girl.
Or was she woman? l asked myself
the wife of that dreadful person?
That would explain her tears.
just as we were standing in the full
light of the cafe, man passed us by
it was he.
"What ais you?" asked the Russian,
astonished. "Did that glance from
those spectac1es startle you?"
Eyes; were they not dark blue glass
es? I cannot be mistaken, it was I'M
doubtedly the gentleman who accom-
panied the young lady in the train
yesterday. Did you notice that he en-
tered the cafe?"

my companion, that our fearful blonde

serious, rather melancholy face bright
ened up as he answered her. A delight
full old lady!
From my vis-a-vis I turned to my
neighbors:
At my right had dear, little
woman with dark, curly hair and
a wonderful complexion. She was the
wife of an English clergyman, who sat
next her very dignificd in his long,
black coat with broad, white tie-this
couple looked as If they were on their
wedding tour. But if that was her
husbands honeymoon face and temper,
then pitied the lively little wife later
on! lie was n vcritable icicle, even
under the fire of her eyes he did not
thaw.
Hers were the loveliest eyes that one
could picture, dark blue with long
lashcs, which lay SO languishingly on
her blooming checks.
As passed her dish she raised the
dark curtains for a second, and looked
into the blue stars, then she turned to
her husband again, and there was moth
ing left for me to admire but the move
ments of the lovely white hands with
their dinples. The wide wedding ring
seemed far too heavy for the dainty
finger.
My other side was less interesting.
There sat q pale, fat, scrofulous boy,
who dangled his legs, ate with his knife,
and stuck his fingers in all the dishes.
He was the youngest member of the
family, which consisted of six persons,
occupied the lower end of the table and
ended next Mr.. White with lanlxy,
lean, bread-and-butter miss. They were
countrymen of mine-alas! that should
have to admit it-for was an involun-
tary witness of their family manners!
Next to Edward, such was my youth
full neighbours name, sat his youngest
sister, according to my opinion q not
very wise arrangement, for the two
sweet cherubs quarreled necessarily.
AS they handled their knives and
forks very carelessly, I was at times
| quite nervous, but their mamma
seemed accustomed to it; it neither dis
turbed her peace of mind nor her ap
petite, both being of unusual durability
Between the mother and father, q
timid, little man, sat their oldest daugh'
ter, probably SO placed that the society
of the frivolous people of Nice should
not contaminate her, so that no bolc
neighbor could address her. AS far as
could tell, such great care was not
necessary.
Il assure you, good people, the races
will be positively grand this timer
heard said at my right In rather snarl
ing tones: "You should certainly not
neglect to obtain carriages and placesv
My eyes sought the owner of thi:
voice and easily found him in large
very light complexioned man of elegant
carriage and dress, whose sharp feature:
and inflamed eyelids might tell of some
sorrow, but more probably of nights
spent in gaming at Monaco.
Suffering spoke palmer on the face O.
the lady next him; one might doub
whether it was of the mind or body, per
haps both.
She was neither handsome nor young
and sat alphabetically at the table: occa
sionally noticed that her eyes were
fastened with sorrowful interest on thu
children next me.
"My God" thought I, chow desolat'
must be the heart that can turn long

beneath the snow, and instead of fresh
figs and oranges, the baked apple sizzles
in the oven!
"Hotel ct pension SUISSE" situated
close to the sea, was my destination.
The house proved to be very good.
For comfort things might have been
arranged better; the drawing-room was
unoomfortably small, but the location,
with the view over the sea, was splen-
did; then there was the tcrraccd garden
with its innumcrable hooks and cor
ncrs, where the sun shone so warmly,
and where one could be sheltered by
the wall from strong winds!
There sat the poor invalids under
blooming oranges, palms and other
evergrcens, and drank in once more the
beauty of Gods earth before leaving it
forever.
The proprietor of the hotel was Swiss,
and the dear little Swiss maidens with
their rosy compilations and white
aprons, who attended to part of the
work, were much pleasanter to look
upon than the dark walters with the
indispensable froch coat and doubtful
linen.
The guests at "Hotel Suisse" first
met at dinner; did not make my APP
pearance at the twelve o'clock break
fast.

dining-room, coming direct from the

my undisguised establishment at the

We sauntered past the lighted win
dow and stopped opposite the last.
BY the light of hanging lamp, I saw
indeed the familiar, handsome face,
though it was much paler than former
" when it was breathed upon by the
rosy morning sun.
One delicate hand supported her head,
about which the golden curls fell. She
was not reading, as I had thought, but
stared before her meditatively. Sud-
denly>her lips quivered and q couple Of
tears triclxled slowly down her cheeks
I started and turned to go.
