LETTER NO. I.

Well, dear Blanche, it's all settled,
and settled, believe, by gracious and
all-wise Providence, which takes far
more interest in the affairs of this world
ihan such scoffers as you are would fain
admit. Now that it is all history. I'll
play the historian and give you n plain
locital without word or comment. You
no doubt remember my telling you Of
The genuine friendship which sprang up
between Caslmir and Rene. The more
They saw of each other the more they
liked each other, and would you believe
It, was often obliged TO send a servant
the second time TO call them when was
waiting for their escort so fond did they
become OF each others society. One
morning, TO my great surprise, Casimir
didn't make his appearance, although
the post brought 10th OF US letters.
When l say both of us mean that there
was letter for Rene, too, as he and
Casimir were to go hunting that after
noon.
The day was chilly, and there was
fire burning on the hearth. Rene was
standing leaning On the mantel when.
the servant handed him Casimir's let
Ter. took no note of him l was so
eagerly deciphering my letter from
Casimir, who, by the way, writes awful
scrawls. The letter was very tender.
A sudden business engagement had
interfercd TO prevent his coming. 1t
was full OF those sweet nothings which
woman so loves 10 get from the man
who is dear to her. | wanted to press
1t to my lips, but l was ashamed-no,
unwilling TO hurt Reno's feelings so
heedlessly. But suddenly, as / glanced
ut him, was startled Ly the change
that had taken place in his face. 1t was
rs il his old ailment had come back
Upon him, and l thought it hal. He
was deathly pale, and his hands trem-
bled as he tore up Casimir's letter and
threw it into the re.
"Renel" l exclaimed, spring'ng to-
ward him, you're ill. Let me call one
If the servants.
"No, no, C usin, he stammered; its
absolutely nothing. I'll be better in a
moment. Come to think, I'll go and
lake some Of my medicine and join you
later.
The moment the door closed behind
him a strange chill came over me.
stepped toward the fire. There lay
Casimir's note, only half burned An
Irresistible impulse prompted me to
Btoop and pick it up. What remained
ancharred read as follows:
"Old Chappie; You and-cruel indeed
INTENDED to-sweetheart, but can re-
luse you-keep seat-besido the divine
Cola.
AS read the words the cold perspira-
lion started out on my brow, my limbs
bent under me; l came near falling.
Great heavens, l whispered, "can it
be possible that Casimir is decoying
Rene to Paris2 Oh, no, that would be
100 terrible; it must be that in his haste
he has put tn wrong letter in the en-
velope addressed to Rene.
Rene now made his appearance quite
himself again. l thrust the remnants
Of the letter into my pocket and we
went out for ride. Once in the open
mir his gayety and good humor came
back TO him. Once or twice | turned
the conversation to Casimir's failure TO
keep his engagement.
-Oh. cousin" said he, tits of no i'm

portance; we shall have him TO NOR
row."
After dinner we all strolled out on
the terrace, but after half an hour or SO
mamma and aunt complained OF the dew
and went in. Rene end l were left
alone. The night was wonderously
beautiful. We talked of many things.
In STOPPING to pick up my fan his face
came so close to mine that felt the
warmth Of his breath on my cheek. Our
hands touched. 1t seemed as il the
world was slipping away beneath me;
that terrible letter burned upon my in
ward sight in letters Of fire. l clung to
Rene's hand as if l were drowning and
it were held out to me.
Rene" l whispered, Rene. you re-
Join your regiment next week; we may
never see each other again. Have you
nothing to say to me2"
Yes, yes. cousin, he replied, speak
ing with great difficulty. "Casimir will
make you very happy. God bless you
bothl" And springing up, he seized me
by the hand and dragged me toward the
house.
The next morning mamma came TO
my room before l was dressed. She
was greatly agitated.
MY darling she fairly gasped, I
have sent a messenger TO NJ. de Ville-
long requesting him to discontinue his
visits.
Discontinue his visits9" 1 exclaimed
in mock surprise.
"Yes, my child" she continued, Il
have positive evidence that he attended
a dinner given at the Cafe Anglals last
night TO that Infamous Gio.a."

All the time. told Rene freely and
'rankly everything in regard TO my in

so doing made 1t possible for me to
ak about him at any and all times, Just
as IL he were present. | knew l cou d
Iust Rene, that he wouldn't mention it
either TO mamma or to his mother
wasn't right in doing so2 Suppose my
marriage shouldn't take plaee-an alb
'urd supposition, but everything is pos

ever.
In thus making a confidant of my
cousin would have the satisfaction OF
seeing how he took it-what effect it

feigned not to understand Could she
nave had, thought /, some scheme in
view in thus visiting US with her son?
10 tell Rene everything would be to
end his hopes then and there. Would
t not be more loyal9 But all this time
here was nothing forbidding me TO
Seep an eye on him, TO observe how he
acted. If was ever in his thoughts he
must have had splendid control over
himself. He didn't draw a muscle. He
thanked me for my confidence in him.
and asked me to preserve it always and
lnder all circumstances. Under all cir
,umstances? Did he foresee something
which did not? Did he have differ
ent opinion from me in regard to CAST
mir? l made up my mind to observe him
very closely when they were together,
% see If he manifested any spite, any
,oolness.
He grasped his hand with genuine
eordiality, and from the moment he
earned of my affection for Casimir he
appeared to take the greatest interest in
aim. It's quite likely that he has never
given me thought and that he is not
his mothers scheme at all; that he
ooks upon me as his little cousin, as u
little girl, in fact.
Meanwhile I'm delighted with the
effect of my frankness. Casimir has
completely gotten over his alarm and is
perfectly at ease with Rene. They've
become the best of friends, and take

zeal pleasure in being together. And
so We three pass our time walking, talk
ng and riding. Rene is a fine artist,
md CaSimir is a good musician. Now
hat Rene is with us there was no rea-
son why Casimir should keep up his

invited him TO come and spend n fort
hight with us. And. in the mean
jme," said she, Il shall, as occasion
pliers, let our friends know the truth Of

But, dear Blanche, have asked for a
ielay. My soul is so deeply and mysr
.eriously enraptured as l am, tha5fs,
when don't get terror-stricken at my
position. l protest to you that Rene
las not made Casimir lose in my ewes.
but still Casimir's rights have not
blinded me as to Rene's qualities.
When one of them is away lack some-
thing. How shall | express myself?
They are complementary to one an
other. One is light, the other is dark:
one is Partisan full of wit, the other
Is an Oriental full of melancholy; both
are handsome, brave, intelligent, re-
lined. Need l assure you. Blanche,
that If had been Casimir's wife be-
lore Rene arrived l should not have
glanced at my cousin, for I'm quite
sure of my own honesty; or had l been
Rene's wife l shouldn't have noted
Casimir. To sum up, dearest, incred-
Ible as it may seem, I'm as happy with
Dne as with the other, but when they
are both with me my happiness is much
greater. Yes, it is perfect.

TO compare these two beings. l see

they are, completely different, but

Blanche. give ear but keep my secret:

full seriousness, its dread solemnity. /
can well imagine q person smiling at
the news OF the loss OF fortune, | can
even conceive of dying person being
so frivolous as TO push the holy sacra-,
ment aside with ribald epithet, but /
cannot imagine a woman who has ever
truly loved man as iesting over the
pang of a sister. No, Blanche, like tho
eyeless fish of the black waters of some
subterranean lake, the glory of the sun
shine is lost upon youl love you still,
dear Blanche. / always shall love you,
but you're not the woman l stan in
need of just at present. Many thanks
for the suggestion, but never carry
copper coin in my portemonnaie.
