WHAT JEALOUSY DID
AFTER THE HUSBAND HAD RE-
pENTEo He WAS GLAD OF IT.

Pretty Little Story That May or NAV
Not BE True-It Is a Yarn, However.
That Teaches Very Impressive Les
SOMA Pretty woman's Sacrifice.
Near the Park Monceau is q pretty little |
house that seems to hide in n bush Of elem |
ATS the home of young and charming |
widow of twenty-five. She had as a pet |
and companion delicate little Mexican
poodle. His name was Nito. NJ jacques de !
Beauchamp entered the garden The little
widow perceiving him hid herself behind
an orange tree, but Jacques ran to her and
surprising her kissed her on the forehead
All, NJ de Beauchamp," she cried,
that is not nice OF you"
| Louise was of medium height. She had
very small hands and feet, white shoulders
and thick black hair Her teeth were SO
white that when she laughed they glistened
like pearls How well she carried her
widowhood, and in way to honor herself
The young maiden is generally too timid
and bashful; she bushes and casts down
her eyes at the least word of compliment
The widow, on the other hand, has the
right to hear everything, and when one
speaks to her of love she knows readily
what that means
Louise leaned upon the arm of M. de
Beauchamp and they went into the parlor,
followed by Nito, who threw some jealous
chances at him who was to be the future
husband of his mistress Of course the
poor little animal could not have known
that. 1t must have been jealous instinct.
Louise and Jacques agreed so we'll that
they had planned to be married Never
theless each of them had defect NJ. de
Beauchamp was jealous and Mime. de
Viry was coquettish.
Louise" he said to her, "you will drive
me to despair. You say that you love me,
but how can l believe it when | see you
smiling at every admirer and giving to
every conner so sweet a reception? When
see you in society SO full of life and gayety
and hear your ringing laughter from the
midst of circle of ardent admirers, it is
impossible for me to tell you the fortunes
and anguish l endure"
"What can l do, dear?" replied Louise
II am gay, it is true, but is that a crimes
And why should be cold to those who APP
proach me only to say pleasant and agree
able things?"
"You are a coquette and your laugh
makes me despair, because if you laugh
thus against my wish it must be only to
show your teeth. You know very well how
adorable you are when in laughing with a
fixed purpose you throw back your head
and show your pretty white neck"
'But what must l do to prove my love
for you? 1t is becoming desperate. Ask Of
me what you please, but do not ask me not
to laugh any more. / am only happy wheI
am glad and free to be light hearted"
M. de Beauchamp assumed solemn air
"You said to me one evening that yor
would make for me the sacrifice of YOU
life. i do not ask SO much as that. Bu
listen. Do you wish to make me the hap
piest man on earths"
You have but to speak"
"Even at the price of suffering?"
, Eyes, at any price"
swell, then make me the sacrifice of on,
tooth"
barbarousp'
''Only a tooth, the smallest one, in tn
front, and afterward you may laugh a
much as you please"
But you will think l am ugly and vii
, not love me any more"
II swear to you there is no other way t.
assure my happiness"
The countess rang the bell. John, he
valet, took her orders, and came back
quarter of an hour later with II gentleman
CARRYING in his hand "a leather case such a
: Is used by surgeons.
5 WHO is that persona" asked NJ de Beau
: champ.
The countess answered:
:, st is Mr.. James, the American dentist.
;, The little countess entered her boudoil
!, followed by Nito, his tail between his legs
as if he understood that something seriou
t was about to happen. Louise returne
shortly afterward, ashamed and humblet
g and gave to NJ. de Beauchamp little toot
as white as milk, which he carried to h
t lips and covered with kisses. Seeing tn
? tribute of affection Louise ran away.
" Jacques had the tooth set in the med.
lion aud carried it around his neck as a sol
yenir.
From that day the little countess becan
very sad Only upon rare occasions WI
her face lighted up by a smile. She kel
d aloof from society as much as possible, bI
u when she was forced by her social duties
n appear among her friends they saw h
" keeping apart from the Others or sitting
: the corner with a serious air, her moui
closed like prison door.
70 Jacques did not easily recognize her;
70 fact, she was greatly changed.
u 'Poor countess" said some evil mind,
a ones; "she is getting old. How change
IT she isl She seems to be mourning t
a dead"
,s And Jacques felt his love diminish lit
a by little. He began to understand tn
- what he loved in her was especially b
II smile, her playfulness, her gayety, and
e also became sad. The more he tried to
n gain his love, which seemed to be leavil
lg him. the more he realized that he hims'
le had killed his passion.
a. One day he went in despair to Nine.
Viry.
70 Louise" he said, throwing himself
her feet, do you love me still?"

~ the stiller you are the better" she &
y swered.
d. Twill you prove to me the sincerity
u your words?"
ed II ask nothing else"
i. "Well, then, if you love me, have t

u would not love me any more. That is j
ct like you men, And you reproach us for
