refuse and scorn him he would be the
laughing stock of the parish to his

to the tippling, good for-not othing lout
that supposing his cal al11lln1nies were
even half true, he, Caliste, was smart
enough to get Jaquette's preference.
What . beautiful revenge! His heart
|ssOftened a little toward Dece;; but lie
quickly reassured himself with He's

the girl! Oh Holy! She was lovely.
He believed he was more In love with
her than he had ever been with Sabine,
his first wife. Then he reverted to the
first dreadful hypo pothesis: All! but, il T
he We're mistaken in regard to her
vanity! IL she should refuse! The
thought fairly stihed him, SO he could
get no relief save to burst into the
cabin and, so to speak, get away from

Caliste's arms immediately when he
entered, and, planting Kiss fairly
upon his reddening cheek, cried she:
