tunes are about equal. I think I
might make a living in this country.
Well, who knows what may happen
one day.? I have plenty Of time 10
think of it, =
4 think your cousin deserves bet
ter than that, and you ought to be
in love with her"
What! Love at first sightl I
do think Clara is pretty, but-plen-
ty OF time plenty OF timep
Everybody seemed happy at the
mill--eyen Clara, who listened with
pleasure to the compliments Of her
cousin whenever he CHANGED to be
with her, and she thought him SO
witty that she quite forgot to show
ner own wit before him.
In the meantime she was hoping
that he would propose before going
back to Paris, but the last day dawn
ed, and he had not sa;l the least
word about marriage.
Albert gave kisses all around and
said to her: fI will come back next
year. I ! will write to you and send
De Musset's works, as I promised"
She plucked up courage and said
to him, SIS. that all you want to
promise, Albert P"
He understood what 'sne meant,
but would not promise more, and as
his eyes rested on the clock he said !:
HGoodby, cousin. The train is here.
1t cannot wait"
The life Of a student, especially
that of q student who does not
study, is just as tiresome as any
other.
There comes time when he gets
tired of beer, wine and cigars.
Albert was in one of his dark
days Since morning he had felt
cross and would not even smoke.
His pipe lay on his table with pile
of books and dusty papers. His to-
bacco pouch reminded him Of Clara.
She had embroidered it for him dur
ing the week he had spent with her.
Then he was also reminded that he
had promised 2, c,-c::ssiiiss5d 10 write and send De
Mussets works. He felt unhappy
at these thoughts, and remorse made
him go out to repair his forgetful-
ness.
There is knock at the door.
The servant brings up letter to
him. 1t is from his mother. 5.3 az
His drowsiness gives way as he
reads the lines. He gets up in a
passion, upsetting the table and ev-.
erything upon it. .,5
Clara IS to be married, and in;
week too! And he is expected to
attend the weddingl
s'And whom does she marry, I
wonder p? exclaims he. aSome com
mon country lad, I.suppose. No, it
cannot bel / must 90 there and
stop it. She cannot be sacrificed in
this way. 2 81 81
M Two hours later he started with q
valise in one hand and a bundle un-
der one arm. It was Musset's 8 works.
Clara met him at the garden gate.
She was looking as fresh as tho flow
.ers, and be, being conceitea, thought
that the hap pinaas expressed on her
