AUBURN, N. Y, April 27.-With
all the democrats and half the repub-

of Judge Alton b. Parker as the

about the man.
Even in his own state, everyone is
talking Parker. In the capitol at
Albany senators, assemblymen and
state officers wear the little white

picture, For President. Alton b.

The walters at the hotel wear them,

but as yet none of them had succeeded in touching her heart. Most of them she liked and the society of many Of them she enjoyed.
 Among the many she had met who had paid court to her, the man she most liked, and who was, in fact, per- haps the finest among them. was the young sailor to whom in fear of her love for Grafton, she had just engaged herself. She had refused his suit many times before, but with undaunted gale lantry he had persisted in his att tentions.
 How her grandfather, the marquis, would regard the engagement upon which she had so suddenly and cap- riciously entered was problematical. In fact, she felt that he would disap- prove; but while she was wholly French in her training and in her ideas she was not for nothing the daughter of an American mother. She combined determination to exercise a certain liberty of choice as to the disposition of her heart and person with the stub- born, indexible will power of her grandfather. Therefore, she could meet the certain antagonism of the marquis with two weapons his own and her mothers. She trusted also that he might be won to her view; she was sure he would rather see her dead than have her marry an English man, an enemy, and she hoped, when she explained to him that in utter despair she had thrown herself into the arms of the one to escape the prompt ings of her heart which would fain have thrown her into the arms of the other, that he would acquiesce
 She had no one to advise her, poor child! The ancient relative to whose care she had been committed, had died few weeks since of the cares, anx- tettes and prSvations brought about by the seize. An ordinary French girl would have gone to 8 convent under | the circumstances, but Anne possessed certain amount of self-reIiance and independence, and she resolved, for the time being, at least, to remain at her own house with old Jean Renaud and Josette. If the English were driven away she made up her mind that at any hazard she would take ship for France. If, on the contrary, the Eng fish captured the town she would prob ably be sent back prisoner So she awaited the issue of the campaign, in the meantime busying herself with caring for the sick and wounded.
 It was evening. She stood by the dormer window looking out on the street. Grafton watched her closely from the bed. She had stopped mo- uaant 10 .innlaira. Gnr him. her third and

But at last he thought that the explanation of this tnfatuatoin must lie in his weakness and her beauty, for with singular fatuity he had not succeeded in discovering any other reason for his interest.
 In the first place, owing to the pre- cautions she had taken, he had not yet had that clear, full sight of the girl for which he longed. She had always been in a half light, or concealed in some shadow or with face turned away, when she had been with him. He might have looked upon her care fully in the hall of the Chateau St. Louis, but his mind was bent upon other things then, and his physical weakness and the resulting collapse had possibly impaired his judgment as we'll as his vision.
 Besides all this, she had informed him that her name was de Couedic,
 VAASA %sSpG4AGkAOA GQA0 OAAA A0bA4AES but had actually thrown him entirely on the wrong track. By no possibility could he have imagined that the Coun- tess de Rohan, whom he had left a child few years before in the Cha teau de Josseiin in Brittany, would be found now inside the walls of Quebec in America.
 Josette he had scarcely seen since he was wounded, and he paid no att tention to her anyway in the pres ence of Anne-one does not look at the moon when the sun is by. The same might be said of Jean-Renaud. The sergeant had not impressed himself very deeply upon Grafton's conscious ness when he had been held a prisoner at the chateau, and the changed uni- form and dress, together with the lapse of time, had prevented his be- Ing recognized. Anne had been very careful not to call the names of her l two servitors in his presence after she had recognized him, and during the ! day he had not seen either of them. Luck, too, vas against him. Indeed, how could he have recognized in this ' glorious specimen Of glowing woman { hood, the thin, undeveloped little girl of other days?
 Anne de Rohan was now 1S years of age and in the first flush of beautiful womanhood. Of medium height, with a figure which combined the lovely proportions of her American ancestry with the daintiness and delicacy of the women of France; with clear, cool, pale yet not pallid face, exquisite features, scarlet lips, proudly, ay, even .isdainfully elegant in their graceful curves; deep blue eyes, so deep that they were almost violet when filled with feeling or glowing with passion, ana the whole framed In her uaidnight

 serly unable to bring about Indeeu, his thoughts had been so busy with her personality and her image, that the time, which might have dragged as only time can finger, leaden-footed in the sick chamber, had passed be- fore he noticed It.
 Yet he was very dissatisfied with the situation There was something about the young demoise1le which could not explaip. The thought of her betrothal to de Vitre filled him with certain jealous dismay-he could not exactly tell why. It was hardly pos sible he could be in love with her him. self, a girl he had seen but a day since! He seemed to have known, or to have met her before, though. How was it? De Couedici And yet
 But what could he do? Nothing. He was master of himself now-in the full possession of his faculties, with no excuse of weakness, wounds, or fever, that is-and there could be no possible reason for so personal an ap- peal to her as he had made when in feyered confusion he had asked her If she loved de Vitre.
 During the day he was attended by strange servant. and saw neither Jean-Renaud nor Josette, either of had not both been kept from him by the orders of their mistress. The con- versatton between the two, therefore, on the occasion of these two visits was necessarily brief: confined on her part to inquiries as to his well-being, his needs, and desires, and upon his part to expressions of gratitude, for her kindness, and earnest deprecations of the trouble he was giving her and her household

With the passionate aban- ] don of French woman who loved lit orally for the first time, who found herself in the actual presence of a l long cherished ideal, before realiza- ton Of her girlish and maidenly dreams, she would fain have thrown herself upon his breast-into his arms. She longed to gather him to her heart and lavish upon him those treasures of affection which all the gallantry, courage and devotion of de Yitre could not evoke. And all this in the face of the keen jealousy she suffered over the locket he wore, and the resentment she felt, in despite of the precautions she took to prevent 1t, that he had not recognized her-which was unreasonable but essentially gem- mine.
 But she had controlled herself like an American. The marquis himself could not have been more coolly and coldly polite than she. As for Graf kau- he had not yet, to use his own

 He lay there so white, so pale, 50 weak, so happy. with a love that waa as strong as hers looking from his eyes. His one free hand she held tight ly, pressed it to her breast, kissed it. fondled 1t again and again.
 And how beautiful she was! One look in the unfathomable depths of those great eyes might have told him the truth before. The sound Of that voice Quivering with joy that was all most pain should have spoken to him. How blind he had been-a fool! He forgot i've years of separation and grieved that he had lost one day! The past faded away. the future lay in tho distance. the present was their own.
 Presently, as the first fierce intensity of her passion spent itself, she laid her head upon his breast and listened In sweet surrender to the beating of his heart, hearing that heart throbbine for her, only for her. The room was very still Words were never coined to express what they felt, and neither spoke.
 It was dark outside. The night had fallen. Clouds had swept across the face of the moon, hiding its splendor. The sky was overcast, muttered peals of thunder rolled swiftly through tha chamber. The candle had burned it. self out, 1t fiickered away; the gray shadows grew into darkness. IL was deep and still there. In that silence heart whispered to heart in language which gods and lovers may under stand Bye-and-bye her arm was slipped from beneath his head Had hours or moments passed, or had they lived an eternity since the kiss of rec ognition? Her head, that had lain so 1 lightly upon his breast, was lifted. The sweet lips, whose color he could dream of even in the darkness, melted once again upon his own-and she was gone.
 He had not moved or stirred After she left him the sweet illusion was still heavy upon him. He could feel tho presence of her head, the perfume, the fragrance of her hair, the beating Of l her heart. He closed his eyes in the darkness. Her lips seemed to brush his own again again.
 Did he sleep, did he dream? All night long she seemed to be by his side.

hair; she was indeed rarely beautiful woman. The performance of her ma turity was indeed greater than her childhood's promise had been. Only prophet might have seen the one. in the past, or seer recognize the other in the present.
 A strange confederation of circum- stances had brought the girl to New France. After Grafton's departure from the chateau de Josselin she had dropped and faded. She was growing too rapidly, thought the marquis and those who advised him., who never suspected the real reason for her i'll health. She actually had pined for the young man who had left her be- hind and yet had taken her childish heart with him. But of this, of course, she said nothing, so the wise men con- cIuded that she had studied too hard, had been too closely confined, and so on. The physicians who were con suited, after the simple remedies of the time had proved unavailing, finally recommended a sea-voyage.
 !, As it happened, the marquis had just then been summoned to the King to take part as 9 commander in one of the campaigns of the Seven Years war, his experience and ability being too valuable to allow him to be neg lected. The old man, therefore, had taken advantage of the departure of q heavy French squadron, carrying gen. eral, the Marquis de Montcalm, his suite, and some troops, to send his granddaughter to Canada under the charge of the general, an old friend. who had been appointed to the supreme command in New France. An ancient relative of the house of Rohan lived In aff1uence and ease in Quebec, and to her the marquis consigned the young countess.
 She had remained in New France with this estimable lady ever since her arrival, for two reasons: One, it had been difficult well-nigh impossible. indeed, on account Of the number of English ships cruising to intercept the traffic between Canada and France to get away: and the other, as the marquis was still engaged in the French army, she would have no place to which to go, no place where she could have lived so comfortably and safely if she returned to France. The marquis was determined that he would not throw her into the hotbed of dissipation and intrigue of which Louis XIV. was the focus, in Paris or at Versailles.
 Her health, much beneftted by the voyage, was soon completely restored, and with her great beauty, her ancient name,. her powerful grandfather, the great estates to which she was sold heiress, she became, as childhood gave way to womanhood, the undoubted belle of New France. The officers of the army, the sea officers from the var lous ships or squadrons which, from time to time arrived from France, the young Canadian nobIesse, all laid their hearts at her feet. She could have chosen any one from among them.
