words are coming to pass. did not Ike
the job, can assure you; have an
antipathy to graves and cofnns and all
that reminds one Of death, and would
not have taken that picture for untold
gold, but that I was enslaved by the
beauty Of the lady who asked me to do
1t. Monsieur has not seen such another
tall, shapely, with eyes, hair and skin
perfect, and her voice soft and sweet like
a silver bell. .,ne coaxed me to do 1t
against my will, and crept into the VIII
lage graveyard one morning at 3 o'clock
with my camera, before even the busy
sisters were out of their cells, and took
the picture for her. You may see how
imperfect the picture is, how many
tlemishes it has, and you must not judge
of my usual work by it, for my hand
shook with fear" The soul Of the
artist was ousting the shade of the aris-
'.tocrat.
''Never mind the blemishes, Senior Cas-
tellan," interrupted Mr.. Mallett. The
photograph is good enough for my pur-
pose. i want you now to tell me the
name of the lady who gave you the or
der, the name of the convent where the
grave is, with directions for getting
there"
Castellan's hands went up in dismay.
"You cannot get there! 1t would be
sacrilege. No man is permitted to en-
ter the gates but on two days in the
week, for couple of hours at visiting
time, you understand, when the holy
sisters are all shut in their cells at pray
ers."

help me-"
Two hundred francs! 1t is a large
sum here in Villa Silentio. There is
servant woman who does the errands
for the convent ladies, with whom l am
acquainted, who might be induced
He paused thoughtfully.
''That is settled then. And now how
far is it, and how are we to get there?''
Mr.. Mallett asked, rising briskly from
his chair.
CASTELAR, motioned him back to his
seat.
''You must leave this to me entirely,
monsieur. One ill-considered step might
balk your plan, and rob the servant and
me of our reward. 1t must be done
during yespers if at all; and in the mean
time | must see this woman and make
my plans. 1t is now two, and, if / might
advise refreshment and rest before We
start on our expedition, monsieur would
be more fitted for it."
''One moment" said Mr.. Mallett,- as
CASTELAR, rose to call his daughter ito
their guest. "Tell me the name of the
convent before you CO."
ut is called the Convent of the Holy
Assumption, and it is but FIVE minutes

''And the name of the lady who or
dered that photograph"
''Ah, that I never knew My accom-
plice managed all the business part Of
the affair, as she will do now, and the
lady's name was never mentioned"
Senior CASTELAR, went through the front

lips, to say:

The girls are missionaries daugh-
ters. Their parents are Americans,
but Helen and Belle were born in Asia,
and never visited the land of their
fathers and mothers until a year or 80
ago. They have been attending school,
but they have seen good deal of So
cial life, too, and now that they are
preparing to return to the East, their
friends have been curious to know
what IMPRESSIONS they are taking
home.

Helen, the elder and more sedate 1.-The
first thing l noticed here was the ex-
traordinary habit the young men have
Of forcing food upon one. 1t seemed
that their idea of entertaining girl
was to buy her something to eat. Any
little outing at any time Of day was
made an excuse for luncheon, and IL
you consented to lunch, you were ex-
pected to eat enough for full dinner.
II puzzled over this until l happen
ed to recall the wicked old saying that
The way to a mans heart is through
his stomach and then / fancied l un-

they think about said | to myself,
and so they take it for granted that an
elaborate meal will please girl"

terrupts, with ripple of laughter.
mo, not just them" Helen continues.
But l began to notice what manner
of entertainment the girls offered their
friends, and found that girls who
were popular seemed to encourage
young men . talk about themselves.
OF course ! reasoned backward then,
as I had III the other instance. The
would not have ministered to the con-
ceit Of persons they wished to please.
That did make me cynical"
"Since the young men were glutton-
GUS, and since the girls were egotistic,
Helen wanted to know what hope
there was for the United Statesv' Belle
explains.
Exactly. l was very gloomy about
it for while. Belle brought me to
my Senses" Helen adds, with an affcc-
tionate glance at her cousin. "She got
impatient, suspect She asked me one
day how it was that these greedy
young men were so anxious to spend
money for other people, and why these
vain and conceited' girls were SO will
ing to let their friends affairs take
the conspicuous place.
II couldn't answer that question
until at last it dawned upon me that
/ had never been getting below the
surface. The underlying truth was that
the. young man offered you luncheon
because he was generous man; and
the girl who encouraged her friends

herself large-minded and unselfish.
Possibly some of the talk seemed

loo-ed coarse; but the important thing
was that the motives were sound aud

Down in the kitchen shed you find
the old muzzle-loading rifle, the box

hollows sparkle with moisture. Tne
moss on the north side of the white
beeches look like ink. A chipmunk
whistles and scurries into his hole at
your feet. A red squirrel springs his
rattle furiously from nearby limb.
A crow pitches from the bare top OF a
dead elm, with horrible Cav!
None of these is your game to-day.
To-day you are hunter. There's no
fresh meat in the house. 1t has been
Goldfish or salt pork pretty much all

! What's that? Something run down
that maple! Thump! thump! goes
your heart. Pshaw! 1t was only q
falling leaf, but you step softly and
the humming of the bumble-bee, who
has been drunk all night on that thor
oughwort, over at your left, sounds
like the beating of bass drum. There!
Stand still! Don't move muscle! A
small head Of gray, with two alert
ears, two bright eyes and a mouth full
Of something, is peeping around the
trunk of that shag- bark hickory. It's
an awful small mark! Stand like

conspicuously on your person, regard
less of blood and dirt, and walk back

self-glory and most other vanities save
food. And Lord! how hungry you are!
You take your game to the chip pile:
You chop off head, feet and tail OF
