The Promise.

Mon Dieu!" said the general.
It was six years later. It the new
chateau o a blade Of grass seemed
changed. The general stood in the
midst of close-cropped millions OF
blades Of grass rs he stopped short
on the sloping lawn which led down
to the white stone steps which led to
the sunken garden. Alike, in her rid
ing habit. with a feather In her hat,
and gauntleted gloves on her hands,
was SO lovely as to be startling. She
looked at the ground, half shy. half
laughing, and beat the grass with her
riding-whip. Francois was leaning
toward her and talking, and the gen.
eral, coming slowly down the lawn,
felt a food Of pride rise In him as he
looked at this successful picture OF q
boy which he had done 81 much to
fashion. The two had been riding to-
gether, and Francois appeared, as
most men do. at hiE best in riding
clothes With that as the general
marched slowly down the velvet slope.
Unseen by them. regarding them his
girl and his boy. this happy sister and
brother-with hat the brother lifted
his sisters hand and, bending over 1t.
kissed it slowly, In a manner unmis-
takably unbrotherly.
Nor Dieu!" gasped the general,
and turned on his heel and marched
back to his library.
All that afternoon he stayed shut
up in the library. At dinner he was
t~aciturn.
The next morning the general sent
for Francois to come to him In the
library. A letter had been brought g
short time before and was lying open
on the table by his hand.

deep abrupt tones, II am in trouble.

quickly.
