The L'Anse sentinel. (L'Anse, L.S., Mich.) 18??-current, 1894-09-08

I Everywhere It appeared to be as
sumed that--cousins or no cousins
Molicr, at least, was up to his eyes in
| love.
A mile from the hotel Adolf passed
Sulphur creek, and stopped the car
riage to admire diminutive cascade
which poured out of "a cedar-crowned
limestone cliff, and dashed itself to
spray on the rocks below. At the base
of the cliff, under little squirting
stream, some ingenious boy had fixed
a mimic water mill which lifted and
dropped by turns, small hammer
on the bottom of an old tin pan.
Thump, thump, thump, all day and all
night long, the busy hammer struck
the tin tambour with rhythmic blows.
80 beat my heart when the cholera
fell upou me-" said Adolf.
Not quite so loud, cousin" replied
Vivettc.
II am afraid, my dear Vivette, you
left all poetic sentiment behind you
when you came to the Springs? Now
my heart is beating again;will you not
minister to it as willingly and success
fully as before?"
"Why. cousin ADOLF You are not
pale now, but blushing red! What
questionable smile.
IL can bear this suspense no longer"
passionatcly declared Adolf Say
you will be mine, Vivette, and end it
now"
II can not say it,"
"You mean you will note"
81 feel, cousin Adolf. that an honest
caudor is best for both of us; and,
while it troubles me to tell you so-you
can never be my husband, Adolf
never!" ~
His countcuaucc fell in sheer despair.
He felt that these words would never
be recalled. And, assuming n self
control which lie had not, he said in
reply:
THAT is straightforward at least;
and ought to thank you. But you
should have left me to die Of cnolcra.
But too am a Molicr, and hcnccforth
my lips arc scaled. We will be cousins
If we never can be more"
Then, cracking his whip, he drove of
down the valley, over the stony road
by the bridge, and round the tobacco
fields back to the hotel, Not word
was spoken bv either on the way.
"Uh, uhr said old Winny, as they
passed the laundry, hes done got
shucleed, he Isl"
The hostlcrs looked Mt each other as
Molicr drove rapidly by, and, through
the cvcrgrccns, up to the hotel door;
and one said:
"Dc gals shocked him, shoa!'
Gentlemen on the vcranda looked
insignificantly at each other, meaning
much, but saying nothing. Molicr's
tcll-talc face betrayed him almost as
plainly as words.
had heard his fate with certainty, lie
began TO think of bringing his stay at
the Springs to an end; and, going into
DR.. Goforths Office, was received with
courtesy. On asking for
his bill, Dr. Goforth urged him to be
seated, saying that it would be unsafe
for Molicr to attempt n journey with
in a humor to accept the doctors in
vitatior and soon found that under a
rough exterior, DR.. Goforth was really
n warm-hcartcd gentleman.
"You thought me pretty crusty," he
said to Molicr; but you had the uni
vcrsal panic, and it was necessary to
get rid Of that first OF ALL
"But DOCTOR" replied Adolf with o
smile, do you talk to all your paticnts
that way?"
"Oh, no, treat each according to
his temperament. ! saw you were n
gentleman and sensitive to insult; and
| knew you would die lfl did not drive
Off your panic. No man is big enough
to hold two conflicting passions at
once, SO reused your Indignation, and
let your sense of insult drive out panic |
you understand"
Certainly, doctor, do now"
"You arc of the New Orleans Molicrs,
I Think" said the doctor, interroga-
lively.
"Yes; do you know thcm?"
81 know of them. They stand "A
No L. But how unfortunate they
should generally be small. Now that
doesn't hurt woman, but it is bad for
a man."
what is that, doctor? have not
thought of it."
''I.ccausc n little man never gets
credit for half he really is, and a large
man gets credit for much more than hc
is, in most instances. And, phrenology
or no phrenology, there's something in
the influence of magnitude, and peo.
pie feel 1t without knowing why"
81 guess that's SO, doctor" said
Molier.
.'Of course it's so. You yourself
