She snatched the hat from the head
of the astonished girl.

''She calls me a thief,' cried Gabri-
ellie, pale, tremb bling. and throwing
her arms around her mother as if for
protection ''She says / stole this hat
Mamma, you know / made it of your
old lace scarf"
Are you mad. madame?" Mime. De
Kernion said. Indignantly. How dare
you accuse my daughter of theft? l
gave her the lace and she made the hat"
Madame uttered a scornful laugh and
cast a contemptuous glance around the
poorly furnished room.

had your deserts you would be lodged
in Jail Thank me that you are not.
And, Gabrielle, never show your face in
my establishment again.
She swept away, leaving mother and
daughter as much astonished as en-
ragged.
When madame reached home she dis
patched a special messenger with the
hat to Miss Lambert, and heard moth
ing more of it that day. But early the
next morning she was surprised by the
entrance of the young lady.
What did you mean, madame. by
sending me two hats?" Miss Lambert
asked. And you deceived me by say
ing that mine was the only one in the
city. They are as much alike as two
peas. Miss Stoll brought me one on
Saturday noon. She said she was ill
and was going home. and, as she lives
only short distance from us. she was
kind enough to leave my hat on her
way. But. madame, it was a shame in
you to deceive mel
Madame Louise gasped for breath.
Her explanation was not clear, but it
satisfied Miss Lambert that cruel in
justice had been done to an innocent
girl.

anne she laughed. why, they could
arrest You for robbing them Better

The humble pie was a bitter morsel to
Madame Louise, but as Gabrielle posi-
lively refused to return to her estab-
hsbment they never met again Cir
cumstances since then have changed for
the better with Gabrielle. but to this
day she remember the humiliation of
that Easter morning.
