HER new HUSBAND
An Old Man Marries Young Girl,
That He May Teach
Her Wisdom.
nY FLORENCE :. CAMPBELL.

Man'zelle Lisette Guitard was weep
ing in the hyacinth beds, and Monsieur
Castor Drouet wept, too, unreserved-
ly. But then he was only twenty-five
-four years older than Mamzelle,
nevertheless Outside the night air
was fragrant with the odor OF hya-
cinths and jonquils. and the moon
shone as brightly as it always shines
in New Orleans in spring-that is to
say, twice as brightly as anywhere
else.
Ma'mzelle had stolen out Of the
house in which her father and mother
and the two uncles and the maiden
aunt and Sister 'Toinette and Brother
Robert and the four bridesmaids and
the ushers were busily rehearsing TIE
part that they were to play at Mann
zelle's wedding on the morrow. Mon
sieur Thiboult was fifty-seven and
enormously rich, and it was to be a
fashionable affair. Ma'mzelle did not
love Monsieur Thiboult, but her pa
rents did.
Poor Gaston!" she murmured, lay
ing her warm hand upon his icily cold
one. Tonight we must say goodby
for ever"
And, being only eighteen, she could
not help but feel a thrill of romance
In the sadness OF the separation
"AngelI Beloved! Adored one!"
exclaimed the young man, Il cannot
let you go. Come with me now and
let us be married somewhere. You
do not love him, that old pig of a
Thiboult."
mo, poor CASTOR, love you only"
answered the little bride-to-be. "But |
consider, Monsieur Thiboult will give |
me much money and / shall make my |
parents rich; poor parents, who have |
shaved SO hard for me-"
"You shall not marry the pig!"
shouted CASTOR. II will kill him
frst!"
Hush. Gaston!" exclaimed the girl.
He will hear you. He prowls about

ticed how red his face was, how white
his beard and hair. He was an old,
old man. and she wished he were
young like CASTOR. And suddenly the
sense OF her lnexperience OF life. the
tragedy of Gaston's sorrow, and her
own little fieeting happiness which
had been accomplished at such a cost
to him overwhelmed her. She began
crying. and she looked at her husband
timidly. as though she had done some
thing that she ought not to have
done.
Monsieur Thiboult had been smo-
king in the darkness. Now he laid his
cigar aside and Lisette saw the red
rim of it circle and descend and rest
upon the rail of the porch. Her hus-
band took her little hands in his and
spoke to her.
do you love CASTOR very much,
Lisette?" he asked
She started and then began sobbing
convulsively. He knew then! He
knew! How wicked she had been.
Yes, knew for long time, my
dear" said Monsieur Thiboult. ut
must be quite two months since you
have loved CASTOR. And before that
1t was Leon Brevet; and before that
Charles Bourget; and before that
who was 1t before that?'
Lisette was shaking with fear. He
had known all the time, then, of these
little childish love affairs!
my dear little Lizette," said mon
sieur. caressing her cold hands, listen
to what am going to tell you l have
never thought that you loved mean
old man like me. old enough to be
your fathers father But love you.
just as though you might be my cwn
daughter, and married you because
/ knew that If did not you would
some day run away with CASTOR or
some other foolish young fellow and
live hard life and taste the realities
OF existence. And you are not made
for hardship, my little Lisette. So
considered, and thought to myself:
If only she we're a few years older
and wise and knew the world, and
had plenty of money, so that when the
real love came she would know him
and go to meet him. Then said to
myself: How can you help her. you
old fellow? And the answer came to
me: Marry her yourself, but let her
be like your daughter to you, so that
when you are dead she can inherit
Ill your money and marry some young
fellow whom she really loves" He
paused. my dear" he said, Il shall

One night he saw a poor peasant
walking by singing as he drove home a

to him the thought of the cottage on

simple life. Tears rolled from his eyes.
Useless seemed all his wealth. for his
heart was empty. and his neighbors
hated the man who lived in their midst.
'T will go home tomorrow" he cried.
and so he sold his lands and mines and
set out over the seaes for his old home
on the side of the mountain. But safe
in his bag was the old. wooden harp.
After a months travel he arrived at

And there in the yard was his mother

Aral saw the simple happiness of the
family In their home and realized that
here was what he had gone over the
world to find, leaving it always behind.
But it was a merry party that night as
they talked over old times and welcom-

THE HARP OF HAPPINESS.

TT WAS May in the Swiss mountains.
The whole country was full of the
tender green of budding bushes,
and over all hung a golden mist OF
sunshine. The snowcaps of the crests
cleaned high and white. but below the
fields were full of fiocks of goats that
fed about in the ravines and climbed
over the crags that jutted far above.
On the side of the peak perched a
tiny cottage, in which lived a couple
and their boys, who were twins. Aral,
the tallest, helped the father tend the
goats, but he did not like his mountain
home. Far below he could see the vii
lagos and the roads by which travellers
went out into the great world beyond,
and he imagined that 1t would be the
greatest thing in life to wander away,
to follow the path till it led to the seas.
Roda, the smaller lad. was happy in
working about the cottage, in tending
the tiny garden, and milking the goats,
for his parents were old and he knew
they needed his care.
One day both boys went up to the
very top of the mountain in search of
a lost goat. In following the animal
they discovered a chest hidden under a
log. and in II was a harp about a foot
high, fashioned of rough wood, with
strings of coarsea leather. On the
corner of the harp was written In tiny
letters:
When a heart that is happy strikes
these strings so old,
The wood and the leather will turn into
gold.
Aral seized the harp at once.
Il will try it, he cried. Il am the
stronger. and it is my right" He
struck the strings. but they remained
rusty and ugly.
of course he exclaimed angriIy
NO one can find happiness in lonely
place like this mountain. / will set out
what happens
So without even telling his parents
farewell, the boy hung the harp ON his
back and set out down the mountain
path. Roda watched him disappear in
the streets of the village below.
II would like to have tried once my
self" sighed Roda. but it is right to
let Aral have the first chance can be
happy here in my home, yet | fear he
will never find happiness anywhere"
So Roda went home and spent her
time doing double work, no wthat AraI
was gone. And Aral wandered far from
home into strange lands, sailing over
distant seas. seeking fortune and happi-
ness
He worked hard all day and at night
slept on straw TO save his money. The
poor he never noticedt, but his whole
time and thoughts were for riches.
Hard and cruel, he began to grow veal
thy. Lands and focks, mines and
houses came into his hands. He lived
in a big house when he saw his money
flowing in. he began to spend his money
for fine living. the walls of his home
were covered with paintings. his stables
full of horses and al about were liveried
servants-but Aral was not happy.
Every few onths he would take out
