FANCHETTE,
BY ROB MccHEYNE.


 Copyright, 1908, by Daily Story Pub Col
 The slopins vineyards along Ontario were lightly yelled in the mists of Indian summer. In the air was that languorous warmth that steals into the veins and lnlls the brain to dreams and reminscence The giant cataract could be heard faintly, a drowsy. distant hum of monotony-a sound that seemed to pervade everything and reach the bewildered brain. strangely as sociated with the heavy odor of grapes, full ripe; the rich clusters hanging everywhere so hsrmonized with the amethystine haze in which the whole scene was bathed that the mind was some way dulled to externals. like muffled drum, and yielding to the soothing enchantment of all about it. yet failed to distinguish clearly between sound and smell and sight.
 It is only by such psychological analysis, whether scientific or not. that an explanation can be found for the startling fact that Fanchette, going home from the days picking, allowed Ponpon the jester the clown. the great laughing registering Ponpon. to imprint upon her pretty. upturned scarlet lips. kiss. thinking all the while it was Antoine
 And such kiss group of gay young girls turned at the sound .only to see the demure Fanchette. blushing to be sure but smiling in serene inconsistencies of the fact that 1t was Fonpon who had slipped up behind her and tipped her chin back as An tolne sometimes did. when he was not too serious, An old man gathering sticks rais- cd himself at the sound. only to see Pom pon's laughing face disappear among the bushes at the side of the road. little bird heard the sound and burst into joyous song. tall girl, with eyes like black berries, coming around turn in the path behind them. heard 1t and saw. too, the whole performance, and her heart. leaped exuItantiy.
