then his attention was more pleas
antly distracted. Mile. Henriette, the
landlords daughter, came bringing
in the soup. The two exchanged a
smile. Pauly, ever since his arrival
at Foissy, had felt n strong attrac-
ton for her. He found her far more
congenial than the other country
girls, inasmuch as she did not speak
their rude patois; for, since her
mothers death, she had not only pur-
sued course of study with the Sis

They looked into each others eyes,
and their glances plainly showed
their pleasure, their mutual interest.
and also their reluctance to say, per-
haps, too much as yet in words.
The beggar in his corner looked up
and spat upon the floor. With a
questioning glance. Pauly called her
attention to him. Henriette bent
down her head, and still leaning on
her hands, said in a low voice that
answered his unspoken question:
II haven't the slightest idea. It's
n whole hour, now, that he's been
sitting there beside his glass without
drinking drop. When he came in
he looked at me in such strange
way that he fairly frightened me.
I'm awfully glad that you came. for

really quite uneasy. But that's no
reason why you should leave> your

She turned away after a rapid
glance in the direction of the beggar.

aren't going to leave me all alone,

spoonfuls of soup. she by his side
near the end of the table. The in
significant chit-chat of the village
formed the staple of this daily talk
of theirs, which both Of them alike
looked forward to each morning with
certain eager expectation. Henri
cite took a lively interest in Pauly's
pupils, and he gravely narrated to
her all their tricks, as well as the
tasks and the punishments that he
had imposed upon them.
Jean Rousseau has really a good
deal of talent. He wrote a dictation
for me today without making a sim
gle mistake; and would you believe
it, Mile Henriette, he came to me
this morning to ask me how to pune
tuate! It's pity, really pity, that
he's so harum-scarum."

you have lost your lover, just consid-
