At this moment appeared two tall. powdered
lackeys and a lady's-maid, who inquired
whether the little girl bad got ready the cos
tune asked for by the Queen and the Princess
de Lambale
When these visitors had gone, and the COM
motion they caused had subsidized, was left
alone with the Cure, Pierrette and her mother
having withdrawn in great excitement to "try
or" the contents of the box which the Queen
had sent in exchange for the little girls frock
and cap.
My guardian then requested me to relate to
him the occurrences of the morning. which I
did, somewhat more briefly than / have told
them here.
And it is for this you would leave Us, nay
son?" said my old friend, when l had ended
my recital, holding my hands in his. For
long time he pleaded earnestly with me, setting
forth the numerous hardships, perils, and
temptations of soldiers life, which, said he,
would uRfit me for becoming the husband of
such good. pure little being as Pierrette.
To all which l replied, doggedly:
II wish to be a soldier"

She did not say, He will return after having
been a soldier"
But suppose" said Michel, "tbe Queen
were to provide you with the means of marry
ing. would you not accept her bounty?"
No, Michel! Even if such an unlikely
thing were to happen, ! would not take her
money"
And If Pierrette herself earned her dot?n
Then, Michel, i would marry her at once"
Well! returned he, i will tell that to the
Queen"

My parents had never known, for they had
died in my infancy. both about the same time.
of the smallpox. But the Cure had been a
good father to me. At the age of Is ] was wild
and foolish, but ] knew a little Latin and
much about music, and was moreover, fairly
skillful gardener. Ny life was q very happy
one. for il was passed at the side of Pierrette.
One day, as was engaged in looping off tho
branches Of one of the beeches in the park and
tying them together into a small bundle,
Pierrette suddenly exclaimed:
"Oh, Mathurini / am so frightened! Look
at those hne ladies coming towards as through
the alleyi What can they be going TO do?"
Looking in the direction she indicated, saw
two young women, who were walking at a
rapid pace over the dead leaves. One, who
was a trife taller than the other wore a gown
OF rose-colored silk. She ran rather than
walked, and her companion kept lust a little
behind. Like the poor peasant lad was,
was seized with a kind of instructive papiR
and said TO Pierrette:
Let US hide ourselves!"
Bat for that there was now no time, and my
terror Was redOubled when / saw the rose
colored lady making signs to ny bIushing
Plerrette. who remained as if rooted to the
spot, grasping my hand tightly. ] pulled off
my cap, and stood leaning against the tree.
This lady came straight up TO Pierrette, and,
touching her under the chin, as if to show her
to her friend, said:
Was ] not right? Is this not the very
thing for my milkmaid's costume on Thurs
day What pretty little girl it is Ny
child, will you give all your clothes Just as
they are now, TO the servants whom | will
send for them? 1 will send you mine in ex-
change"
oh, madamep was all that Pierrette could
say.
The other young lady now came forward,
and, laying her hand upon Pierrette's bare arm,
encouraged her with gentle words telling her
that TINS lady was one whom everybody
/ obeyed. Then Madame Rose-color spoke again:

"Be sure that you alter nothing in your cos
tune, little one" said she. shaking at the girl
her dainty Malacca cane. See Here is a
handsome fellow who will be soldier and to
whom l will marry you"
SO beautiful was she that almost went on
my knees to her. She had the appearance Of q
little, good fairy.
She talked fast and gaily. Bestowiug play
ful pat upon Pierrette's check, she turned aud
tnpped away, followed by her companion
Hand-jn-haud, according TO our custom, we re-
turned home, in silence but with happy hearts
went straight 10 the Cure, and said TO him /:
Monsieur Je Cure, wish to be soldier"
The good man was astoUnded.
How is it, my dear child" said he "that Won
desire 10 leave me? DO you no longer love
me? DO you no longer love Pierrette? What
have we done 10 you that you have grown tired
of us? And is all the education ! have given
you to be thrown away? Answer you naughty
Boy" he commanded, with a shake of nv arm.
With my eyes fixed upon my shoes, re-
peated:

not angry with me, for she knew well it was in

assured him upon that point, and conveyed to
him Her Majesty's guarantee that sum equal
to the half of the nights receipts should be paid
to him for the use Of his theater. Evidently,
the whole affair had been gotten up by the
Queen.
Their dialog was interrupted by sudden
hustle and commotion, and the Queen entered
so quickly that l had barely time to present
arms. With her was the other young lady
whom had seen at Montreuil
The performance commenced at once. All
the time that Irene was going on, the Queen
laughed and Chartered but as soon as the oper-

OF course, being followed by everyone in her
box.
Suddenly heard womans voice which
thrilled me to the heart and set me trembling
SO that l could scarcely hold my gun. Surely
there was but one voice like that in all the
world!
Through the game curtain drawn across the
tiny window of the boz, got glimpse of the
performers. 1t was little lady who was sing

FULL-JEwELED, NICKEL MOVEMENT
At the Lowest Price Ever offered.
No. 315, Price s16.

THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE, true to its
long-establshed policy of offering to its
subscribers the greatest bargains that can
possibly be discovered, has contracted for
100 Waltham Watches, which it offers at
prices that will insure their speedy sale.
These are full-jeweled gold watches. In
the works are Is jewels, four pairs in set
tings, stem winding and setting apparatus,
compensation balance safety pinion, patent
micrometer regulator, 80 simple that even a
child can regulate the watch, Logan's re-
nowned Breguet handspring, and the greatest
improvements known in the manufacture of
watches at the present day. The works are
full nickel, while the full plate, which covers
the interior works, and a.patent husband,
keep every particle of dust from the delicate
mechanism within, thereby saving many a
bill for repairs. The case Hunting only is
made of solid lax. gold in two plates, stiff
ened between with q sheet of fine compost
ton metal. 1t is named and stamped by the
Waltham Watch Co., in honor of New York's
best-known wholesale dealers. The Ma
TIoNAL TRIBUNE positively warrants that
this is a genuine full!jeweled Waltham
Watch, and gives to every subscriber 10 days
for examination. At the end of this time

been in former days a notable singer and choir
master at Notre Dame, kindly taught me my
notes
Listen, Mathurin," he said TO me one day
"you are only peasants son, but you know
well your cstechsm and sofia, and some day,
perhaps if you are good and industrious, you
may become a great musician"
This speech filed me with pleasure and
pride, and l twanged more frequently and
vigorously than ever upon my teachers shrill
and discordant old harp.
The fsvorite recreation of my leisure hours
was to walk TO the farther end of the park of
Montreuil, and to eat my dinner there with the
workmen who were building, in the avenue of
Versailles. little music pavilion, by order of
the Queen. 1t was charming spot.
used to take with me upon these excursions
little girl of my own age named Pierrette,
who because she had such pretty voice, was
also taught to sing by the Cure. In her hand
she would carry a large slice of bread-andbut-
ter with which her mother, who was the Cures
housekeeper, had provided her. Together we
watched with great interest the growth of the
pretty little house
Pierrette and / were at that time about Is
years of age. She was already so beautiful
that strangers would pause by the way to pay
her compliments, and have seen grand ladies
descend from their carriages in order to caTess
her. She loved me as a brother.
From our infancy we had walked always
hsnd-in-hand, and this grew into such a settled
habit that in all her life / cannot remember
once giving her my arm. Our visits to our
favorite spot won for as the friendship of a
young stonecutter some eight or 10 years older
than ourselves. He was a gentle-natured fell
low, sometimes, but not often, mildly gay.
While he worked we would sit beside him upon
stone or on the ground. He had made a
little song about the stones that he cut, in
which he said that they were harder than the
heart of Pierrette, and he played in hundred
ways upon the words Pierre, Pierrette,
PieTrerie and PierrOt, TO our endless amuse-
ment and delight. For our new friend was a
poet. His father had been an architect but in
some way Il know not how had come to ruin,
and it fell to Michel TO retrieve the family for
tune. With his rule and hammer he supported
q mother and two little brothers. He worked
bravely at his stones, making couplets all the
time; with each large block he would begin a
new poem. His full name was Michel Jean
Sedaine.

any great hardship"
Pierrette was so much more than satisfied
with the bargain that she could have embraced
the Queen in the exuberance of her gratitude.
AS she was posing for Madame de Lamballe
two men entered the room. One was stout, the
other tall. At sight of the tall one she ex-
claimed: why it is" then stopped her
self.

ut is Rose herself!" replied Sedaine.
"A single note, madame" said the other, M.
Grevey, land shall know if she be as per-
fectly Monsigny's Rose as she is Sedaine's."
Then, turning to Pierrette, he said to her:
Sing the scale after me thus: Ut, Re, Mi, Fa,
SOL"
The girl repeated his notes.
"She has divine voice, madame" was his
verdict.
The Queen clapped her hands and jumped
for joy, as she exclaimed:
She will gain her dot!"
