7 A BRIGAND’S BALL.
My dear friends, you remember, do you
not. the Countess Etiennette de Repey—
the young one of course, not the old one—
my black eyed demon? When I say “my,"
it is a form of speech, for she is not mine.
You, be, I, we all know her. We have all
‘ sighed for her. but none of you has had the
. happiness that I have had of being in the
dead of night with her in her own carriage.
It is true that her maid was there also, but
nevertheless it was a great happiness. And
yet I would willingly have deprived myself
of it. .
We were at her country house at Kerch-
var. It was already very late in the evening
when she suddenly remembered that there
was a bail on the following night at the
Casino of fired. and than shelled positively
pi’omised to be there. She ordered her one
rings, and as I was her only guest she beg-
ged me to accompany her. «
“My dear baron, will youcome with me?"
What could I answer!
“My dear countess, the night is very
dark. we shall be upset, we shall break
some limb. and how can we dance after
that! We have the three Kmrass to pass,
the bridge over one of them isnot firm, and
there is every chance or our being drowned.
The forest near Szalouta is s nest of brig-
anda How can I defend you all alone?
And. then. what is the necessity of going
this evening! We can start tomorrow
morning after we have had our tea, your
superb dapple greys will put usdown at
And in the afternoon, and we shall have
plenty of time to think about your toilet.”
" That in word for word what I mid to her,
but I spoke in vain. The more I tried to
dissuade her the more firmly she held out.
“She did not want to drive post haste—she
wished to rest after her journey. She did
not care to jump from the carriage, worn
out and heated, into the ballroom. Then,
too. she thought that there was nothing
more beautiful than the stars, the frogs,
and heaven knows what else. Iicr whim
must be gratified though the world should
come to no end.
I could choose: I might citheramompany
her or remain in the chateau alone. I went
with her, and as a compensation she
granted me the .or of sitting opposite to
her in the carriage. The joumey was a
charming one. The countess lowed me
with favors. First of all, she placed a but-
box on my knees, to which she soon added
her muff; then she burdened me with some
other package. and finally went off to sleep.
It was in vein that I spoke; she did not
answer. Nevertheless when too sudden a
jolt shook the earrings she condesmznded to
ask me a series of questions about her
workbox. her satchel, her basket, and made
inquiries as to whether I was not seated on
her betbox. Upon being reassured she
went off to sleep again. lier maid moaned
about her headache I. in my turn. made
believe to sleep.
Suddenly a more violent jolt than any
of the others woke us all up. The marriage
seemed to have half upset. The countess,
who was still drowsy, asked what bad hair
med. The footmcu got down from the
and came to the carriaae door.
“Excellency, we have lost our way."
"Well. what done it matter? Is that a
reason for stop lug? If there is a good read

Edison's Boyhood.
From an article on the boyhood of Edi-
sun in St. Nicholas we learn that young
Edison never had any bnyhoml days. his
earlier: amusements being liis‘fllll engines
and mechanical forces. lie left marbles,
bull and liupncnlcll to less ingenious ur-
chins and eonstmcted plank roads or dug
tunnels and caves along the shore. Like
many of the world's greatest men, Edison
owes much of his fame to his mother. to
whom he was is devoted son. She taught
him his lessons at home. impressing him
with the lore and purpose of study.

nineteenth century.
Mollle's Problems.
There‘s lots of things I cannot understand,
It really makes no nmitcrbowl try.
Ono's why the brown vouws on my little hand
because the sun in but up in the sky.
I never understood why birds cat worms
Instead of pie and puddings full of plums.
I can't see why a baby always squlrms.
Or why big boys are ‘fraid of little sums.
I cannot understand why dmlcs bark
Instead of talking sense like you and me.
And why the min don't shine when it is dark
instead of When It's light I eannotsec.
i wonder what it is makes children grow. .
And why tin y haw no wings like little files:
But purnliuw-e I n: all the things! know
