HISTOIRE
-D'UN
FORESTER.
UNE FAMILLE D'oRPHELINs.


Que croyez-vous, dlt-ll en- repre-
nant son recit, que fit Suzanne Les
secours ne lui manquaient pas; nos
paysans mont pas generalement lie
ceur tendre, mais comment rester
insenslble devant un tel malheur
LIE maire propose de prendre les trols
orphelins la charge de la commune.
Joseph, rafne, un bambin pas plus
haut qu'une botte, devait etre charge
de conduire les vaches au parcage
communal ct a rabreuvoir on verrrait
plus tard ce qu'on ferait de Paul.
Suzanne refusa rargent. Ellie nae
cepta que lie meter de patre pour
Joseph, ct ellie deciara tout net la
barbe du maire que pour lie reste ellie
trouverait moyen de Sc tirer daffaire.
Ellie est toute seule. alors ?
-Toute seule, CONNIE tn dis,
Pierre, avec ses deux petits freres.
Sutterlin ct sa femme n'avaient pas
pu laisser de crosses economies, celia
Sc comp-end; mais enfin IL y await la
cabane, assez solide pour durer long
temps il Y await une chevre ct de
lherbe; il y await un petit jardin
avec quelques ruches. On Wit de peu
au bord de la foret. Suzanne trouve
moyen de battre lie beurre, de tricoler
Ges chaussons, de ravauder lie linge
que Catherine lui envoie de Framont
ct que lui procurent les bonnes
femmes de Natzviller. Ellie cherche
des fraises dams la bonne saison,
pendant que Joseph ct Paul gardent
lie troupeau de la commune Ellie va
les vendre a Foudey, Walderspach,
Bellemont; parfois meme, ellie
pousse sa pointe jusqu'au Hohwald,
quite revenir dams la mutt. Lhiver,
ellie fait de la dentelle. Jamais une
minute de perdue. Et avec celia la
maman de son petit monde; auss
quand ellie passe dams les rues du
village, ellie recolte presque autant de
saluts qu'une grande personne.
.C'est un tresor que lie c9ur de cctte
petite. Vous pensez bien que k
pere Josue feil a la chose (; quand
il nest pas chez lui, il ne faudrait pa:
lie chercher bien loin de Natzvillel
pour lie rencontrer. ST Suzanne s'es
montree 81 courageuse, mes conseils J
ont bien un peu aide. Jaime le

pour ne pas arriver au but avant i

aboiement joyeux ct disparut a

Ellie ALA droit au pere Josue ct,
sans faire nj une nj deux, ellie appli-
qua sur chacune de ses joues deux
baisers sonores.
La dit-elle, c'est pour vous

longtemps
-C'est vrai, Suzanne, il y un
steele ou peu sen faut; mais je ne
suis pas lie seul a gronder; c'est ce
gaillard-la qui me prend tout mon
temps. Je te presente mon eleve,
Pierre Blind, lie fills du percepteur de
Framont, un petit gareon qui, pour
devenir tout a fait sage, n'aurait
be soin que de passer huit jours a ton
ecole.
Apres Suzanne, ce fut Joseph, &C
fut Paul, qui, debarrasses de Char
lotte, demanderent a etre embrasses

Suzon nous accusera d'avoir laiss,

LIE grenier, on Ion montait par une
echelle, renfermait les provisions
auelqucs legumes, des toiles pendues
a des cordes, un amas de foin pour la
chevre.
La place qui reste, dit Suzanne,
sera pour les raisins ct les pommes
en- automne. J'ai mon moyen pour
garder les fruits, ct lis Sc vendent
tres bien, rhiver, a la vile.

-Cette Suzanne disait-il, est-elle

fourmi Et pas aware du tout; nous
a-t-elle donne un assez bon dejeuner

habituel ct Suzanne, les yeux bril-
lants de plaisir, lie laissait dire.
En- attendant, 81 nous voulions

que temps de partir.

Suzanne au moment des adieux; 81

To CHECK Fee EATING The time
of year that we have found most

journals are advocating elaborate
methods of arrangement of the nests

life is too short to put all of the sug-
gestions to the trial. There is one
method which we believe both simple
and sure. Make the nests dark. We
have never seen hen eating eggs
from dark nest, and do not believe
that they will. Besides, the hen
naturally likes a dark nest and will
mot object to this arrangement in the

if the plants thus surviving the cold
were selected for seed, and the young
plants grown from such seed were
