A Clever Sparrow.

A tree sparrow on one occasion built
its nest in a tall elm just beneath the
more bulky erection of crow. Not only
did the large nest screen the smaller, but
it afforded q means of protection from
the vagaries of the weather. Some time
after the crows nest was plundered of
its contents. while that Of the three

had it been any other man than Lucien
Barthelemy, this scholar and thinker,
whose wonderful insight into human
nature made men afraid of him, no
doubt there would have been some one
to lay hand upon his arm, to utter q
gentle protest, to sound low note of
warning; but as 1t was, who could be
bold enough to counsel or advise, to
warn or admonish? And SO the we'd
ding day came on apace. 1t SO hap
pened that a few weeks before the APP
began a series of performances in the
town. Madeleine was passionately fond
of music, and with her intendeds
knowledge and consent, in fact some
mes in his company, she attended ev-
cry representation. Lucien noted how
the singing stirred her very soul and
was gratitied by the keen enjoyment
she drew from it. The tenor singer,
Angelo Liverno, a strikingly handsome
young man, who walked the stage like
an Apollo and sang with the deep feel
ing of an Orpheus, soon became the
rage of the town. Petted and feted by
every one, and entertained by the best
families, he set hundred hearts aflame
on his triumphal course, but seemed to
take no hurt himself until he was pre-
sented to Madeleine. In an instant the
two warm souls flashed together, the
two children of the southland met after
many long years OF separation.
One evening, when Lucien entered
the home Of his af1ianced. he found
Madame Duclos lying senseless on the
floor and her husband kneeling beside
her, himself but little this side of de-
mentia. Madeleine had eloped with
Angelo LiverinO!

CHAPTER III.

It had only struck 9 when Lucien
had parted with Monsieur and Madame
Duclos, and yet it was midnight when
he presented himself at his apartments.
Here were three whole hours absolute
ly cut out of his lifetime. During this
space of time he had been dead to him
self, and he only came back to life when
his servant, in response to his knock,
opened the door and called him BY
name. Then he remembered who he
was and what had happened to him,
and although these three hours had
been cut out Of his life. still they were
not without effect upon him. His
clothes were covered with dust and his
feet 80 swollen that his boots had to be
slit open TO get them of. Manifestly
he had walked many miles, for his
strength, great IS 1t was, was gone. He
staggered to q chair and asked for
water. He was burning up with thirs..
His servant begged for psrmissisn

popular twenty eight dollar collins and
