The cuckoo clock struck nine. Hav-
ing swallowed glass Of claret, tb,s inn
keeper arose, saying:
We'll, wife, if you are not going to
ask Nine. MERCER for a loan, We'll
have to close the inn. I'd rather do
that than borrow from Tom, Dick or
Harry, and set the whole village talk
ing"
do as you please, husband, but I
cannot ask money of person with
whom l am not really acquainted"
"Ah! see you are not certain that
she is the kind of person you would
like to be under obligation to. Per-
haps you're right. l notice she acts
little queer. Haven't you noticed that
her letters do not come addressed to
the inn, but to the general delivery?
1t looks as If she was trying to con-
ceal her true name?"
"And who knows if she has much
money, anyway?"the wife replied.
True enough. Fine clothes often
cover a good deal of poverty"
Here MichaePs eyes glanced towards
Nine. Mercier's' dust coat that hung on
peg behind the door,
THAT may contain the explanation
of the mystery" he said to his wife, at
the same time pointing to the coat.
"Oh, Michael" cried his wife, antici-
pating his thought, Ito search guests
clothing would be awful"
You speak as if l meant to commit
a robbery" was Michael's reply, as
he seized the coat.
Already his hand was in the pocket
and soon brought forth letter.
AS he unfolded it and saw the writing
his eyes opened wide with astonish-
ment and his face turned pale.
He showed 1t to his wife. There was
no mistaking it. How often they had
welcomed letters in that hand when
their son was in the army.
Husband and wife stared at each other
in wild surprise. Then they read the
following, wife Marion peering over
Michaels shoulder:
MY Dear Genevieve: You are more
than right. AS soon as your health will
permit, go and pass week or so at
Chandesse. The inn is about three miles
from the railroad station. You can't
miss it. On it's signboard is a white
cat, hence its name. Get the square
room on the second floor that looks to-
ward the south. 1t has good view Of
the road. used to sleep in it up to the
time left home.
You will easily recognize my father
and mother from my description Of
them. They are dear old folks, who
have only one fault, fault common to
many others, of not knowing anything
beyond their own fireside. I am sure
by this time they are sorry they OPP
posed our marriage. But, thank God,
we do not bear them any illwill. Time
will make everything come out all
right. Pass some days with them, but
under an assumed name. Under no
circumstances, speak of me. know
your tears would betray you.
81 have heard it from friend that my
parents are in need of money. Give
them what they need, and when you
are going away, kiss both of them for
me, and bring me home the kisses while
they're hot. Lovingly, CHARLES"

The fame of the candle began to flick
er. The old man looked up from the
paper he held in his hand. Like one
trying to atone for a crime, he put it
back in Mime. Mercier's" coat"
Glancing at his wife Marion, he saw
that she was weeping. Then he, himself,
began to cry like a child, and kept re-
peating through his sobs:
81 have been a terrible fool! /
wouldn't blame Charles if he never
spoke to mel"
But the tears Of Landlord Michael and
his wife were showers that cleared their
life's sky of storm clouds which had
troubled it for years.
Tazewell Republican. [volume] (Tazewell, Va.) 1892-1919, 1905-09-28

Michael could not forgive his only
son for daring to pick out wife for
himself, wife whom neither father or
mother had ever seen. The poor mother
would have given great deal for q
look at her, but Michael was inlexible;
hence, Charles did net dare to bring
his wife to Chanusse.
Michael also cherished q strong an
tipathy to the Parisians, whom he re-
gardedsa as all given over to follies. and
Charles wife was probably as bad as
any Of them. Nevertheless his guest,
Nine. Mercier, from Paris, had, without
trying, removed some Of his preiudices.
She's fine young woman" he said,
more than once to his wife. IF Charles
had only married q girl like that,
wouldn't have a word of fault to find.
There's probably some nice folks In
Paris, after all"
