mans heart run like wax In the fire.
He never made happy yet, and
I'll swear no woman ever made him
happy. If you gave him the moon, he
would want the stars for a garnish. He
believes nothing; he laughs at every
thing; he is a false m~onkey-and yet, ]
wish / had borne such q child"
There was a sudden pain at Villon's
heart, is IL the girls fingers had seized
1t and squeezed II, but he replied
lightly:
LET us speak no more of this rascal.
He believes more and laughs less than
he did. He is so glad to be alive that
his forehead scrapes the sky and the
stars fall at his feet In gold dust. Paris
is we'll rid of such a Jackanapes."
You are a merry gentleman"
II would be more gentle merry
with you. Will you wear this ring for
my sake2 Fancy that 1t comes from
Master Francois Villon, who will al
ways think kindly of your wild eyes"
Let me see your face" she requested
but Villon denied her. He signed to
Noel lie Jolys, where he stood apart,
and the young soldier came hurriedly to
him.
Captain" he said, give this lady
honorable conduct"
He moved away and left the pair to-
gether-the mannish woman and the
WOmanlSn man, lOOhlHS at SdCn OlieI,
the man In admiration n the woman
in yelled disdain.
You are a comely girl" Noel af-
flrmed roundly.
Huguette laughed.
This is news from no-man's land"
Noel spoke lower.
Where do you lodge?"
Huguette was a woman OF business In
an instant. She flashed in Noel's face
the ring the grand constable had given
her as she answered:
at the sign of the Golden Soul, hard
by the Fircone. Will you visit me?"
Noel clapped his hands together.
LAS / am a man, / Will"
A good understanding being thus es-
tablished. the pair drifted away to-
gether and were soon lost to sight.
Villon looking after them unused:
Heaven forgive me, / am becoming
a most pitiful loud preacher. Every
rogue there deserves the gallows. but
so do !, no less, and J have not swallow
ed enough of this court air to max me
a hyprocite. Well, all this justice is
thirsty work, and, mad or sane, sleep
ing or waking, let me drink while l
can"
He returned to the golden lagons,
poured out a cup of Burgundy, watched
it glow in the sunlight, and lifted 1t to
his lips.
ITO the loveliest lady this side Of
h~eaven!" he said for a toast, but ere he
touched his lips to the cup, he lowered
IL again.
