a shadow darkened the glass. He looked up and

window. She not pressing close from curiosity
he knew enough about women to know that size

and lay across his doorstep.
He ran out and brought her into the shop-a hard
task, for she was tall and he was short. He managed
to get her the hard little sofa and to gather up
her trailing members and get them to the sofa
too, and then he held camphor to her nose and
splashed water over her freely until she came to

fed her as tenderly as if she had been baby.
| am cold" she said when she had eaten, and at
that he straightway helped her to the little
which his parents had occupied and lit fire in the
tiny fireplace, and leaving her to rest ran to the
neighbor who had sometimes ministered to his
mother and brought her to the sucCor of the poor
girl.
1t was only then when he had done all that the
dictates of his good heart had commanded that
Gaspard began to reflect the white white skin,
and thick black hair of her whom he had taken in
But it true about her skin and true about her,
and IN two days time the pink came to her cheeks
and the red to her lips and with wondrous bound,
overpowering all the goodness in his heart, Gaspard
saw that he had had model given him which would
send Alphonse, his waxwork, and his rich widow
clear into the shade. He begged permission to do
her hair at once, and made gorgeous wall of it
above her brow, having outwork of cunningly
Topped braids then he sat her IN his window and
rubbed his hands with joy, and before an hour half
the town had walked by and woman who had
hair to speak of had come in, purchased fine
switch and requested that la c0tr0HHe DANCE"
(the coiffure) be forthwith placed over her.
That the real turning point in Gaspard's
career. He seized his opportunity with avidity, and
Dinette, his visitor, doomed forth in a head
dress daily. He arranged for her to live with his
old neighbor and taught her to curl mustaches
The business doomed at once Every man raised
mustache, and every woman bought a switch. When
the whole town was switched Gaspard banged
Dnettes hair and curled the fringe Then the whole
town bought curls 1t all shows what tremendous
amount of business talent may be hidden behind
good heart. Gaspard waxed rich, and Alphonse
waxed poor. In August when one may properly go

French town particularly small frisepv of
the name of Gaspard. A frisew is a hair
- dresser, and Gaspard was a hair dresser
by inheritance and by inclination by
inheritance, because his six elder brothers had pre-
ferred to go the Colonies rather than to remain
parents; by inclination, because all who had ever
come in contact with his work were forced to adj
init that he true artist.
| have said that GaSpard was small; but | must
qualify the statement by stating that he had
good heart He small that he respected
and looked up to individuals five feet nothing;
but, his heart the best in the world and really
the only thing that stood in his way to world
ly advancement for if it had not been for that good
heart he could have bought himself wax lady, and
might then have snapped his fingers in A1phonses
face several years betore-but am getting ahead
of my tale
Alphonse was the rival frisem 1t is bitter
fate that gives frisew a rival. 1t would have
seemed to the casual observer that Gaspard
sufficiently handicapped by his good heart, without
having Alphonse thrown in for good measure But
Alphonse (who was doubly barbed by being espe-
cally tall moved into the town three weeks after
Gaspard superseded his father and he remained there
until events of which you shall learn removed
him out of dear little friends path. The rivalry
was sharp and cruel and as Alphonse's cleverness
lay chiefly in adaptation, and as he had from the
first lady to adapt them on, 1t will be readily
comprehended that Gaspard suffered sadly IN the
way of business competition.
1t is difficult to so arrange wig on a pasteboard
cone that it will produce the effect on those
who look in windows as the same arrangement

loose will never cause an outsider the emotion
when it lies carelessly creamy shoulder
And he who tells that any front view is feasible
with pasteboard cone tells something which
causes me to deeply doubt the soundness of his
intellect.
OF course Gaspard realized all these facts keenly;
of course he half mad in his desire nay, in his
absolute need, of a lady, but waxen ladies cost
money, and hero never seemed able to

children, to give pennies to unnvestigated beggars,
and to invent coiffures for poor but pretty
girls these were also reasons and good reasons for
poverty and to these further accusations he
also forced to plead guilty
1t was a Sisyphus task to support good heart
and a rival with wax lady at the same time, but

poor Gaspard seemed doomed to nothing
better, try as he might to better himself.
There was a day when he had perfected
his truly remarkable couture of the ten
separate curls drawn up on top with
ribbon-that couture to which he gave
the name " la PrfncesSe imPrfSonnee," and
which he fondly hoped might carry his
name far out into the universe-that day
his heart fairly sang with hope. But the
next day Alphonse his rival adapted :" la
1rfucesse lmbfiSonn6e," constructing it
with eight curls and their ends tied in a
bow-knot. named it " la refine Lfbree, and
exhibited the whole on his wax lady.
Heavensl what blowl
l am not going to harrow your soul by
giving the details of Gaspards life for all
those first years. He kept having his
mothers teeth repaired and his fathers
heart regulated, and a board laid here and
a single nailed there in the shop, until
it seemed to him that life was all de-
fusion. Naturally, if he could have had
wax lady he could have found comfort
in displaying his art on her artifcially; but
as it was he needed only to give forth an
idea over his pasteboard cone, and Alphonse
stole it at once and embellished his model
with it. I tell YOU it was Grazing and
Gaspard would often have CRASHED his
teeth only he was scared to death of any
more dentists bills He could not help
designing coiffures for he had the nature
of a genius in hair and everything he saw
or heard inspired him to a new management
of that matter; but the want of a wax
lady fell never so keenly over him, and
nothing in the world but his good heart
kept him from becoming a cynic.

But now at least Our hero was tree and

what he was capable of doing
About this time rich widow came to llv'
town, and as she required to be waved
Gaspard felt that perhaps his luck had tu
last / do not mean by that that he entertain
mercenary ideas regarding her w1doWhood
i only mean that he regarded her as
source of steady income. She was fat and
unattractive, and SO large that he had to
stand on a footstool to do her summit prop
perly; but she was SO faithful and such good
paw that by October he was out OF debt
and ready to begin to lay by for the
cherished ambitions purchase. BY Christ
mas he had again saved almost enough
for the first instalment, and he was so happy
that he made the rich widow a holiday
compliment by naming his newest conceit,
a roll of braids winding neatly to peak
wherever a peak was most becoming, Ia
pyramid a la 5e1e5e" But a1as the effect OF
this feat was entirely other than anticipated
A1phonse stole the idea as usual and
crowned the peak with little bunch OF
trickling ringlets. He put the whole on
top of his model, christened it " Ie chdrnte de
la 1en0e, and poor Gaspard lost his best
client at once as a consequence Two days
later his one chimney fell in, and the future
looked dark indeed. When the chimney
was rebuilt all the instalment money was
gone and Madam the Wax Lady was again
as a mirage in the desert. Sad, was it
not? Gaspard had no doubt as to the
adjective. He wondered if a cocoanut
would not perhaps be better than paper
cone, bought one and tried it. Oh, Heavens
only for his good heart he would have COM
mitted suicide.
1t was April, wet day. The little
fyiSeur was setting his window in order.
His kindly nature showed itself in his
earnest endeavor to combine bottles, pins,
and switches in manner calculated to give
the passer-by a pleasant sensation rather
than shiver. He shook out the fringes of
the curls and laid them artistically about

placed a rhinestone star on the apex of
the paper cone. While he was pinning the
