She made no reply. She couldn't.
And the old man remained ebsessed
with his idea:
II may die of this stroke and

He thought only of that. You
could read it in his little narrow
eyes. He could have accommodated
himself to the thought of no longer
owning the land, since even the most
avarlclous person knows that he
can't carry the fields with him into
the next world. But to see some one
there beside him who was going to
replace him when he was gone.
some one who would acquire all his
rlghts-that was too much for him.
And the more that thought pos
sessed him the angrier he grew.

The notary asked nothing better.
He posted notices of sale. There is
no lack of money in the country

and the notary bought government

bundles of certificates arrive he put
them on the table and explained to
Ti6nette:

read it in the doctors face. When
they spoke in whispers in the room
he pretended to be asleep in order
to find out how matters stood. He
saw Tienette weeping. He saw the
priest coming with his oils. They
gave him extreme JUNCTION.
II am lost" he said to himself.
He had the air of taking the mat
ter in good part, Of not worrying
whether he should go to heaven or
to hell, like a man who had other
things in his mind, something much
more important to attend to. After
the priest went away he said:
my poor wife, there is nothing
else to it. I am going. The good
Lord alone could save me now, If He
had a mind to. I rely on Him. But

good heart should ask him to save

She was reluctant to leave him.
"You would rather have me die,
wouldn't you? Wicked, wicked
woman!'
He urged her so strongly that at
last she obeyed. When she was out

lied that he might die and that she
would be his sole inheritor.
People amused themselves at his
expense, as was natural. More than
one in the village had a grudge
against him, for he had always been
an opprcssor of the poor. They
took pleasure in batting him.
"You don't need to worry, Pere
Michel! If you should die, things
would go on just the same.
Tienette has good judgment and
courage and health. If she can't do
everything, she has cousins who will
be willing to help her"
"Certainly," said another, "thcy
won't refuse, since it all will go to
them some day"
He ground his teeth as he lis
tened. He ragged inwardly and
writhed in his bed. He was like a
chained animal trying to break the
chain with his paws. 1t would have
killed him if he had stayed there.
So he got up, his anger giving him
strength. He began to walk about

For himself. For the pleasure of
owning the land, of regarding it, of
walking over it. The land-it gets
its grip on you. But this old mans
love of the land was too passionate.
The older he grew the more fiercely
jealous he was of his possessions.
You could see that when he had
his first stroke. T6nette looked
after him and took the greatest
trouble to make him comfortable.
But he, always peevish and snarling,
kept doubling her burdens. "Do
this! Don't do that" He never left
her moments peace. When she
had almost broken her back nursing
him in the daytime, he did every
thing he could to prevent her sleep
ing at night. When he saw her close
her eyes he aroused her to ask her
some trivial question.
Pull up the covers, Pm cold.
Take off the spread. I'm too warm.
Rearrange my pillows, my back is
