ranks of the guards who had been
paraded underneath the great gate

outlandish costumes which reminded
Grafton of the pictures in some old
book, this is my castle, these my re-
tainers. Here my will is law. Within
these walls am supreme, saving only
the feudal rights of my over-lord and
master, Hts Most Christian Majesty,

You are free to come and go where
you will within the walls, and should
you not attempt to pass the gate, you
will find nothing to remind you that

added, turning to the sergeant of the
guard, 'Monsieur Grafton is an Amer
lean gentleman who honors our poor
house by accepting its hospitality.
Mark you-and you, too, monsieur,
pray give heed-he is free to go any

often been bestowed upon a young
demoiselle of France.
In but one particular, indeed, the old
mans scheme of education, in the
carrying out of which he was assisted
by the best masters that money could
procure. might have been deemed
faulty. The marquis, as he grew old,
lived more and more in the past-and
as he went backward in time he took
the little maid back with him.
The same strange fancy which led
him to restore medieval usages and
customs as far as possible, and which
made his favorite study the ancient
tales of chivalry, the stories of the
hardy adventurous knights like the
great du Guesclin, some of whose blood
indeed ran in his veins, gave an un-
usual turn to the thoughts of his
granddaughter. She, like him, was
stepped in the romantic lore of an
cient days. The traditions of their an
cient house, the deeds of daring, de-
votion, and courage which had made
the de Rohans illustrions, were as fa-
miliar to her as fairy tales and childish
rhymes are to other children. Her
own maidenly vision dimly compre-
hended the future through the windows
of the past
1t was to this ancient chateau with
its suggestion of history, its atmos-
phere of romance, and its Breton wild
rose, scarcely reaching the dignity of
a bud>yet, but still inclosed in the
soft calyx of innocence and inexperi-
ence, that Grafton was brought at the
request of de Kersaint through the
complaisance of the marquis.
1t was evening when the two gen.
tlemen, attended by a numerous re-
tinue, rode up to the great gateway.
The few miles that intervened between
Brest and the Chateau de JosSelin
had been passed in animated CONVEX
sation, and the acquaintance which
had begun on the decks of LIE Thesee
under such strange auspices, had rip
ened into a pleasant intimacy The
dashing young American sailor had
been attracted by the evidences of cul-
ture, the keen but kindly humor, the
rich stores of knowledge, possessed
by the marquis; and the latter had
been touched by the pleasant defer
ence and open frankness, as well as
the shrewd common sense and grace

Something of a sharper.

Two old fellows in New Hampshire
were the sharpest things in the way Of
bargaining. Cy Pettingill made brooms
for living and Ezra Hoslzins kept a
store One day Cy came in with d load
of brooms and the dickering began,
relates the Columbia Record.
Cy was a man who could see bar
gain through six-inch plank on q
dark night, and Ezra could hear dol
lar bill rattle in bag of feathers a
mile off. Well, they began, and their
conversation was something like this:
Ezra, I want to sell you these
brooms"
"All right, Cy, I'll take them"
Cy said: Il don't want any store
bargains, I want cash for them"
They talked and gadded a while.
and then Ezra said: s'I'll tell you what
I'll do, Cy, I'll give you half cash and
half trade"
Cy took a fresh chew Of tobacco
pulled straw out OF one of the brooms,
and said:
'That'll be all right, Ezra"
After he had put the brooms in the
store, Ezra said: Here's your money,
Cy, now what do you want in trade"
Cy looked around for spell, cooked
his eye up to the ceiling, stuck his cud
in his cheek, and said:
"Well, if it is all the same for you.
Ezra, I'll take brooms."

poured upon him completed his awak-

walked to the window.
1t was heavenly morning. The
breeze, laden with the sweet fragrance
OF summer, blew softly across his facs
through the easement An enchant-
Ing garden, which might have boasted

Half concealed by the interlacins
boughs of the tree he could detect
two figures beneath the window, sit
ting on a bench under the shadow Of
the beech.
He watched them. They were sing
ing. That wild, plaintive, yet primi-
tive chant came from the two little
girls there. The deeper contralte
tones of the peasant girl afforded a
sweet accompaniment for the girlish
treble Of the other. The birds twit-
tered in the trees of the garden, and a
gay robin on a branch near the win
dow poured out his brave little soul in
brilliant bursts of song. 1t was .
chorus OF nature harmonizing with the
natural song OF motherhood, which
seemed not inappropriate, though is
suing from the lips of children.
'Toutouie, la, la!" What was ths
queer little refrain? He leaned far
out over the window-sill and listened
to the singers. He was wont to be
awakened by the creaking of tire tim
bers of a heaying ship, and the ex-
perience Of this morning was as novel
az it was delightful. 1t was inter
rupted, however, by knock upon the
