the famous painting was to be her
wedding present to Suzanne and its
value would increase every year.
Perhaps there were other treasures
among the rubbish, and the attic was
carefully searched and a few more
valuable articles were found and sold
to dealers, but there were no more
paintings.
Nine de Lourdy never grew tired
looking at the pastel and always told
how she had come near letting IL lie
on the floor, because It was so dusty;
that fortunately she had known
enough about paintings to look at it
more closely.
In the meantime the Paris papers
heard about the painting and from
all over France art lovers came to
look at II and admire it.
Very Restless.
Nine de Lourdy had 1t fastened to
the wall very securely and always
went along when visitors came to see
it. The thought that somebody might
rob her Of It became a fixed idea with
her and made her restless
When Mona Lisa was stolen from
the Louvre she bought a couple OF
blOodhounds had new locks put on all
the doors and steel shutters outside
every window in the house.
At last she ordered the painting
hung in her bedroom in kind of safe
built into the wall.
The fear of losing It ruined her
health, and when Suzanne at last be-
came engaged and had received the
painting as a gift, Nine de Lourdy
took TO her bed from which she never
arose.
Suzanne's iance was a rich young
man, who greatly admired the picture
for it's own sake, but he did not think
II genuine Latour. He believed il
to have been painted by Houin. a pu-
pill Of Latour.
one day when he was sitting in
the sickroom with Suzanne and the
nurse no took the picture down, re-
moved the wooden back and under
meath he found Houin's signature.
He called Suzanne and showed it to
her.
Just at that moment Nine, de Lour-
DIV opened her eyes, and when she
saw the two young people examining
the picture she was seized with
sudden fear and asked in a trem
bling voice, What is the matter, Su
zanne?"
The young girl. with wonderful
presence of mind, smiled and replied
Imagine, grandmother, Lucien has
found Latour's signature on the pic
ture and says that 1t is now worth at
least four hundred thousand francs"
-Four hundred thousand francs"
whispered the old lady with a happy
smile.
The same evening she died with the
painting standing on a chair next to
her bed

A CHARMING SHORT STORY COMPLETE.

"a ME- DE LOURDY had no idea
MI of where to begin or where to
end when she came up into
the immense garnet Of the large
house near Meaux, which she had in
herited from an aunt.
Good Lord, what am / to do with
all that trash?" she exclaimed and
full of despair she looked at the
heaps OF broken armchairs, old couch
es with torn covers, cracked china =
ware, legless chairs and old trunks,
piled almost to the roof
For perhaps a century or more
everything that was broken In the
house had been thrown up here.
Quite accidentally Nine. de Lourdy
moved an old armchair, looked at her
hands and was about to push the
chair back when something dropped
with a noise OF breaking glass.
Nine. de Lourdy stopped and picked
up an old painting. She could not
see what ii was right away, as 1t
was covered with a thick layer OF
dus., but when she had taken II 10
the window and blown the dust away
she saw II was pastel in carved

II was hung and those who saw It
said It was very pretty, but paid no
particular attention TO IT,
Nine de Lourdy rather liked the
dreaming eyes Of the picture and the
mocking smile about the lips and
thought It a family portrait, executed
probably by some local artist

who was a widow and devoted her

HONESTY HAD ITS LIMITS
Woman Desisted Temptation for a
Time, But Finally Proved Her
self Human.

Somebody on the back platform
dropped a bundle. A woman saw 1t
and picked it up. She was an honest
woman; nevertheless she opened the
package. 1t contained a waist pattern
of very pretty silk. When she saw
that she thanked her guardian angel
she had been created honest.
IF 1 had been an ordinary dishon-
est thing" she told her husband, Il
should keep this silk as sure as any
thing and make it up for myself"
But since you aren't" said the
man, what are you going to do with
it?"
"Oh, take it back to the lost and
found department of the store where
it was bought. The purchaser will
probably inquire for it there"
One evening about two weeks later
the woman appeared at dinner in a
new waist.
Hello said the man admiringly,
seems to me I have seen that before.
Isn't it something like the piece of silk
you found?"
1T is just like it, sighed the WON
an. 1T is the same piece. I took it
to the lost and found department, but
II couldn't stand it. 1 went around
the next day and asked for it my
