Of deep emotion, "what no living crea-
ture knows save ourselves, but what !
can no longer conceal from you-learn,
my friend, that Charles is not my s6hv'
CHARLES - is -no t-your sonr' re-
peated Germenil, while intense amaze
ment took possession Of every feature.
'My son in everything save in the tie
Of blood; but that, alas! is wanting"
"But-but," said Germenil, Il don't
quite understand how
Il will tell you the story from the be-
ginning. That will be the best and sim
plest way" said Dumont, interrupting |
him.
They seated themselves on one of the
benches under the lines, and leaning his
head on one hand M. Dumont began his
story, to the accompaniment of merry
laughter and tie sounds of cheerful
voices, which foated toward them from
the open doors and windows Of the au- !
berge.
"You know already" he began, ''the
circumstances under which l lost my
wife-now some 20 years ago-so there
is no need to go over all that. Shortly
after her death l left the place, taking
the child with me, and went to Grenoble.
where had relative with whom I in
tended to stay short time and in whose
care l thought of leaving the little one
until it was few months old and bet
ter able to bear the fatigue of journey,
as it was but fragile little creature
owing to it's premature birth. But an
other sorrow was in store for me. Very
soon after my arrival at Grenoble the
child died, and found myself alone
without either wife or SON I left
GrenOble on my way home.
EARLY on the morning of the second
day after had started l was going along
arather unfrequented road, when I came
to a wayside shrine. / had paused OPP

when l thought l heard faint cry.
Looking down perceiveda small bundle
lying at the foot Of the shrine. | alighted
from. horse and examined it, when
what was my anazement to find it con-
tanned a newborn infant wrapped in
shawl such as the country women wear
in those parts.
II looked around, but could find no
trace of any one. The little creature
seemed to have been abandoned there,
and as 1 looked at it the thought came
into my mind that heaven had sent
it thus to replace the one I had lost and
fill the void in my heart. So I said to
myself that would take the child and
bring it up as my own. You may be
sure no one put in claim to it, so I re-
sumed my homeward journey with my
little charge, and from that day to this
the secret has been buried in my own
heart till told it to the boy himself
last night"

whom the mother wasp asked Germenil

Then seated themselves on one of the
benches qt1dGT the lines.
They told me that the marechaussee,
were searching for woman who had
escaped from them while under grave
charge. She was probably the mother
of the little waif! Poor creature! she
doubtless died of hunger and exposure!'
"Was there no mark of any kind on
the child's clothes?'

then go into the garden and get tue uuu-
quets ready. Hurry now; M. Germenil
and Mile. Clementine will be here before
we know where we are"
Just then NJ. DumOnt, followed by
Charles, came out of the house.
M. Dumont wore his usual serene and
benevolent expression, but the young
mans face was sad and troubled
"Well, Pierre" said NJ Dumont,
chow are our preparations getting on?
You must bestir yourselves"
"Don't be afraid, not bourgeois, will
answer for everything, though indeed
if were not here to look after theselazy
fellows the guests would come and find
nothing ready"
"Well, well, Pierre, l rely on you and
have given you full powers. All [ say is,
don't spare anything; let there be plenty
of everything; above all, wine. Nothing
like that to make the violins throw off a
lively measure, and l want nothing here
today but love and pleasure. Eth,
Charles, what do you say?'
I'll be bound he agrees with that"
said Pierre.
Dear! dear! to think that you were
little baby in arms when l knew you
first, and here you are going to be mar
ried and have babies Of your own for old
Pierre to nurse"
Charles heaved deep sigh.
"Saperlotte! What a sigh! And you
just about to be married to the girl of
your heart-and such face! Why, you
look as melancholy as if you had been
drawn in the CONSUMPTION this morning!
What's the matter, M. Charles?"
Nothing, my good Pierre, nothing"
"Why, PIERRE" said M. Dumont, cit
is quite natural the lad should feel lit

sponsibility he is taking on himself"
"Of course, of course-only !

terrupting him, THAT you uTe chatter

"Quite true, patron. So I'll be off. It
would never do not to be ready when
the company arrives"
AS soon as Pierre had disappeared in
doors M. Dumont passed his arm affec-
tionately through Charles, and they
walked up and down the courtyard,
the younger man with gloomy, abstract
ed air, while the elder watched him with
an expression of kindly affection.

''My poor Charles! Iwould have kept

CHAPTER TX.
AN ANXIOUS MOMENT.

every one was on foot brave and early at
Les Bons Amis, everything inside and
outside was put in apple pie order, and
by midday all was pretty well arranged.
The best room was opened and aired,
for there the contract was to be signed by
and by. In the kitchen, where every
thing shone till you could see yourself
reflected in the very plates and dishes,
the long table was spread for the diner
du contrat, covered with a snowy cloth,
which bore testimony to the good house
wifery and industry of more than one
generation, for in those good old times
women spun the thread for their own
household linen, and the poorest girl in
the commune when she married brought
with her little store Of good homespun
linen, the fruits of her own industry.
Already the signs Of good cheer to
come pervaded the place. From a sim
mering pot au feu there issued an odor
more than ordinarily rich and appetite
ing. The best cured and finest ham had
disappeared from it's hook and now
dubbed peacefully in the biggest sauce
pan Les Bons Amis could furnish. The
savoriest ducks and plumpest chickens.
which lay stuffed with chestnuts and
favored with the piquant onion, ready
for the spit, and what a soupe ala cit
rouille, such as the cuisinere of Les
Bons Amis was famed for making, to
say nothing of the plats doux, the deli
cate frontage a la creme, the perfumed
melons, the piles of green and purple
figs, and such salad!
And then the wine. M. Dumont was
not the man to stint the measure on such
a day as this There was the good vim
du pays-more than one fat straw cased
flask which had come across the noun
tains from Italy-and to crown the feast
certain cobwebbed bottles of a special
vintage, which had been laid down in
view of such an occasion as this and had
quietly reposed for many a long year in
the farthest corner of the cave
Outside the house all was hustle and ex-
citement. A fresh bush adorned the door,
and the signboard with its announce
1nent that "Ici on vend lie Bon Vim" had
been decorated with green wreath; the
courtyard had been swept till not a
grain OF dust appeared; the little tables
and the benches under the tilleuls on the
side facing the house had been scrubbed
to spotless whiteness, while Pierre, the
old head waiter, who had grown gray in
the service of M. Dunont, hustled about
experimenting the proceedings of his
subordinates who were carrying the wine
out of the cave, the entrance to which, as
is usual in such places, is at the side Of
the house door.
"Depechez done mes cnfants, nothing
will ever be ready if you go on at this
rate. Hurry now and get these things
out of the way. Where do you think
people are to dance by and by if the
place is numbered up like this?''
Turning sharp round on one of the
walters coming out Of the cave with
basket of wine:
What are you doing there. Louis?
Here, give me thatr'
please, sir, I'm doing nothing, sir!''
Nothing! just so, nothing, but that's
not what you are here for. Here you

"Ah, yes! Your son. That name is in

"You must have more confidence in
yourself, my lad. Where will Germenil
find more eligible sOn-in-law or one he
would like as well? lie knows you are

auberge-the most fiourishing business

your courage and meet them with q
cheerful face Believe me, my old friend
is too anxious for his daughters happi-
ness to let this matter prevent your mar
rage"
Heaven grant it may be So" said
Charles.
AS he spoke the sound Of approach
ing wheels was heard, and NJ. Germenils
carriole drove up to the gate. Charles
ran forward to meet it, followed by M.
Dumont. He helped his financee to de-
scend and stood beside her while Pierre,
Francois, Louis and the rest. who had run
out ON the sound Of the wheels, lifted
down the numerous parcels which filled
the carriole, and which, from the interest
Clementine took in their safety, evident
ly contained her wedding finery. The
parcels safely landed, the servants car
red them into the house, and the young
people rejoined their elders, who had
walked toward the house, Germenil say
ing:
You did rot expect us so early, dare
say, mon ami, but Clementine WIS so
impatient l only wonder she did not il
sist on starting in the middle of the nigh.
SO as to arrive in good time"
well, well, neighbor, we were once
young ourselves, and we know how much
young folks have to say to one another
on these occasions"
DO you know think the little mare
Cocotte was as impatient as her mistress
to get here? She came along at such a
pace one would have thought she knew
she was coming to fete.''
By this the parcels had all been I'M
loaded to Clementine's satisfaction, and
she and Charles came forward.
WELL" said Germenil, "now that i'm
portant business is done, perhaps you
would give kiss to your future father
in-law?"
with all my heart, said Clementine,
throwing her arms round M. Dumont's
neck and giving him a hearty kiss on
each cheek.
''And you, Charles" added the farmer,
ARE you so bashful that you wait for
permission to kiss your bride?"
Charles, who had for moment forgot
ten his melancholy, started at these
words, and his face became again over
cast as he replied:
ITO be Clementine's husband, M. Ger
menil, is what my heart most longs for,
and if refrain from greeting her as my
bride it is because honor forbids my do
ing so till you have heard what my IA
ther has to tell you. When you have
listened to him, you will then be in po-
sition to decide whether you still con-
slider me worthy of such happiness and

what does the boy mean?" cried Ger
menil amazed, while Clementine, her
blue eyes full Of dismay, CALCULATED
"Ciel!'
Il will explain it all" said NJ. Dumont
meanwhile you, Charles, can take
Clementine indoors and show her what
we have been doing in her honor"
