Martin Walker was Z grape grower
In the north Of France. Though be
lived 800 year. ago bis vineyard has
remained vineyard ever since.
Martins daughter. Marie. was = love.
y girl Of nineteen. In the autumn after
the grapes had been gathered and put
through the wine press her father al
wsys gave fete. inviting his neigh
bos. and Marie. dressed In the cos
tune Of the period. was regarded ~
the prettiest Of all the girls who danced
in the great room over the wine Gel
lars.
One autumn young man from Paris
attended o dance given by Marie's
father. saw her and fell violently In
love with her. Marie was pleased 10
make . conquest Of one from the
city. but. being a bit coQuettish. only
half encouraged him. However. she at
last reminded him that a French girl
did not dispose Of her hand: that rested
with her parents. The young man.
taking this for consent. went to Val.
kier and asked for Marie's hand.
Il don't know you. monsieur" said
Martin. ''or anything about you. What
y your occupation?''
Jules CARRIER. the person In question.
had not cared TO give bis real name.
and be did not now care TO give biz
occupation. Nor did he wish 70 admit
that he preferred to withhold either.
The stranger prcvaricated. He said
hs WAS an artist. and ~ he was. for
be was man Of great ersatility. but
this was not his profession. lie possess-
ed gift that had made him celebrated
In Paris. though It wns not Of such .
nature as would extend his ren0wn to
the provinces. The old man then ask
ed him u he had any fortune. and Jules
admitted that he had not more than
$1,000 francs $4,000. which was u
teggnrly sum 10 put up for the daugh-
ter Of prosperous wine grower. So
the suitor was rejected. lie said good
by % Marie. who was loath TO part
with him. for she had been more i'm
pressed by him than she had realized
Hut she could not give herself to him
without her fathers consent. and her
father had declined his proposition.
Not ions after Jules departure the
wine grower was riding on = road
leading through some wooded property
be owned aud which he thought Of
clearing to add 10 his vineyard when
be- heard shout for help Ia u thickct.
Dismounting. lie went To where the
sound had come from und found "a man
who had been stabbed TO the heart
On looking closer nt the body he saw
that the murdered man was Francois
Marccile. a former workman In his
alteration and whom hc had dis.
charged.
Il occurred TO Martin that II caught
over the body of Marccllc. with whom
be had Quarrclc,i. he would l~ sus.
f~.ctcd Of the murder. lie hurried back
when he heard q voice almost beside
him say:
'what IL your hurry. my fricndp
Walt n bit have something 10 say 60
you. ! heard n cry for help q moment
ago. and now I ind you coming from
where heard II In hot haste Have
you had fight with any oner'
Martin was 10 impressed with the
danger be was Ia that he stammesca Ia
his account Of what had occurred The
man i'ropcs-d that they 90 together
aud have look at the bpiy. Martin
reluctantly eonscntssi. Indeed. had he
be~n guilty of the murder he could not
have dcmesbci himself In n ms nn~e
