Never! You understand"
AS the master mason paced up and
down the dining-room turning about
like bear in a cage his wife bent
| over her plate and her eyes were moist
as she mechanically munched her al
monds.
| FOR the last two years the same dis
pute had come up between the couple
at intervals, for 1t had been just two
years since they had discarded their
! son Edward because he married a girl
picked up, no one knows where, in the
Latin Quarter, where he was finishing
his studies. How they had dotted on
this Edward, their only son, and spoil
ed him from childhood He had come
TO them after ten years of marriage
when they had renowned all hopes of
offspring. After his birth Bourgeuil-
already a builder on a small scale
had said to his wife:
You know, Clemence; Paris is to be
reconstructed from one end to the
other Building will be lively, and if
1t keeps up 1 will have made a for
tune in ten or fifteen years. So 1 hope
that this little chap won't have to
mount scaffolding as his papa has
done. and come home nights with
spots OF plastering on h;s gray coat
Well make a gentleman of him, hey
Bourgeoise?"
Things turned out as the father had
predicted. Edward was brilliant
pupil at the Lyceum Louis lie Grand,
and Bourgeui1, the Limousin peasant,
who had come to Paris with two gold
pieces tied up in the corner of his
handkerchief, had the pride of seeing
his son congratulated by the minister
as he received the prize of the Con-
cours General. He would certainly
have no trouble in the future in OBJ
tanning lfcentiate's or doctors de-
gree, which would open to him almost
any career.
We will leave the youngster 5000
good livres,' said Bourgeuil, patting
his wife on the back with his broad
hand. I'VE must soon look about for
wife for him, hey? We must find a
pretty girl, as we'll educated as he is,
who will make him happy and be a
credit to u.s.
Alas for these fine projects!
The young man had already met a
girl who had inspired him with love.
Yielding to his ardor he had neglected
his studies, and at 25 he had not vet
obtained his degree. Very sad and dis
heartened the old parents had not
yielded to despair.
They said to themselves: Youth,
with its follies. will soon pass away"
One day, however, the foolish boy had
the audacity to tell them that he adored |
his doll and that he wished to marry |
her. 1t was wonder that Father |
Bourgeuil did not have a stroke of |
apoplexy. The hot blood rushed to his |
head as he drove his son out and cut |
OF his entire allowance "If you give
my name to that creature" cried the
old man in his anger. you will not get
\ sou from either Of us till after our
death" The wicked, ungrateful boy
followed his own desire to the end and
broke off entirely with his parents.
Now he was married and lived on a
clerks pittance in the outskirts like
any other poor man.
1t is true that the old folks had suf-
'ered much during the two years since
hey had seen their son. Lately the
situation had grown worse. It was

ment. which begins in July, and is con-
tinued through August.
Once in New York, the bulbs are
sold by the thousands to seedsmen
throughout the country, who in turn
dispose of them Immediately to the
florists and growers. The recent crop
OF 100000 bulbs was worth to the
farmers about s125,OOO. The importers
disposed OF the stock at good profits,
and the price of the seedsmen to the
florists is from $35 to $3.50 a thousand.

numbers, close to 100000.

shouted out never" which made the
windows rattle, and forbade the poor
woman to ever mention the subject
again.
She did not obey him but still tried
to plead the cause of the offender
Every time there was fresh scene
There was continual discord in the
house which had hitherto been so
peaceful. These two old people who
had lived and worked together for
more than thirty years and who de-
votedly loved each other became al
most enemies. Every evening at the
end of dinner hostilities commenced.
The discussion generally ended by
words that cut deeply.
well, I must tell you, Bourgeuil
that you have heart Of stone"
And I tell you, old lady, you are
a simpleton.'
Saying this the master mason went
out, slamming the door after him.
Then, sitting down alone by the even
ing lamp, the old mother softly cried
over her knitting. Bourgeuil, who
could not endure the sight of her sad
face, took refuge in neighboring cafe.
where he passed his evenings at cards.
In the pauses of the game he bemoaned
the degeneracy of the times, when the
authority of parents was despised by
their children, and when every day
saw family respect grow less. He, at
least, would set a good example and
would be severe to the last with the
disobedient son. AS this was his sole
topic of conversation, in spite of the
prestige given him by his fortune, his
companions did not hesitate to call
him behind his back a "bore" and an
old "miser." In his presence, however,
they praised his frmness. One, whose
pipe was especially offensive, invari-
ably responded to the old mans i'm
precautions with the remark:
Bravo, Father Bourgeuil! You de-
serve to be a Roman
Now, Father Bourgeuil possessed
very confused notions concerning an
tiquity. Still, he had a vague knowl-
edge of the story of old Brutus, and
the thought that he was man of that
stamp f1attered his vanity exceedingly.
For all that, when he left the cafe and
found himself alone in the darkness he
said to himself-very softly-that that
same Brutus had a hard heart, and
