Now, sir, I donot wish to run any such

“So much the worse. What do you
want me to do about it?"
Passersud retired in much distress.
Banging the doors after him, M. Lamam
tin exclaimed: .-
"Not a cent! No position! Asks
for my daughter. Ah, really, it is quite
interesting."
This visit, which had such an unfa-
vorable result as regards our friend, left
very slight traces on the mind of M.
Lamantin. What brought. several
days later, an anxious look to the lat:
ter’s face was simply the fact that his
parlor chimney smoked.
In the middle of the month of De-
cembeuvand just as he was preparing
to arrange a reception in honor of his
daughter’s nineteenth birthday his par~
lor chimney began to smoke. A house
holder could scarcely havo'hsd a more
disagreeable thing happen to him. M.
Lamantin sent for his architect. who
hastened to come, smelling an order.
“is that all?" be said. vexed when he
learned what the matter was.
"I think that is quite enough. It is
not amusing to own a chimney that
makes my wife and myself weep all
23y long, like a family recently afflict-
)I
‘f Your chimney was built on my
plans. That means it does not smoke. ”
“But it does smoke."
“Because you burn Mons coal. Don’t
burn Mons. Burn wood, and you will
have a clear lire."
“Perhaps you are right. "
The change to wood in place of coal
did not make the chimney’s breathing
easier. M. Lamautin, who was a reso«
oeed?" .
“Wewm see. I do not want toyield
on compulsion, but I am a just man.”
Once alone, Pasaeraud wasted no
time in foolish proceedings rather out
of place, the gravity of the circum-
stances considered. An attentive spec-
tator-what Passeraud bad banished
spectators—Would have heard him hum
the air: .
Clout icl que Rose resplrel
The same surprised spectator would
have seen him go from one piece of fur-
niture to another with a delighted air,
walking as in a dream among the beau-
tiful furniture, extend himself at full
length upon the sofa—here Valentine
must have anti—then install himself in
a small chair—this low seat is with-
out doubt the one she prefersl~then
gaze for a long while at a young girl’s
portrait—that is her dear picture lwand
throw kisses to it——to you. even to you!
These frivolous proceedings having con-
sumed the appointed 60 minutes, Pas-
seraud opened the doors and called ev-
ery one.
“Have a fire made, sir.”
Passeruud was obeyed. The chimney
had now a dear, strong dmft. A gentle
warmth breathed through the chilled
and frosty room. There was not the
least smoke. Passeraud’s genius shone
out like the sun; he who could not see
it was blind.
"It is too delightful!" cxclalmed M.
Lamantin radically. “Valentino, this
dear young man is a great engineer.
He shall be my son-iu-law, with your
consent."
A year after those miraculous events
Mme. Passcraud—nee Lamantin-had
seen as beautiful as the morning. Up-
on this occasion M. Lamantin made the
following speech:

mained motionless in the middle of the
landing for five minutes with his mouth
open.‘ as though he expected that the
vision of his peerless neighbor would
present itself to him anew.
The next day, by a coincidence
which we would like to believe quite
fortuitous, Passeraud was on the same
landing exactly at the same hour again.
The young girl passed, and as it seemed
blushed in passing. Fearing that he
had wounded her, Passcruud resolved
never to come down the staircase at
that hour again.
The following day, however, here-
Iuemhered 'that urgent business com-
pelled him to go out at a moment or.
lctly identical with that when leaving
the house was quite forbidden him by
fhil decision of the day before, He took
up his hat. annoyed at this business
which exposed him to the danger of
embarrassing with his presence 8 per-
son whom he would not have troubled
for the world. What he dreaded hapo
ed; a new meeting took place, and
asseraud was inconsolable, the fair
maid having blushed more than before.
He was accordingly enraged against
himself; the unknown one, scandallzed
at being thus followed, would very
probably take stem to keep herself out
of his way. In order to convince him-
self of this misfortune, Passcrsud sought
the same place every day at the same
. hour, and every day drew aside on the
staircase to let his neighbor pass.
Brought up politely by his mother, he
bowed at each meeting. At the end of
some time it seemed to him that the
slight inclination of the bond which he
received in return took on an unmet ul-
mcst friendly.
Having noticed this. he want to look
at himself in the mirror of a shops-«in
his form there was nothing of the sort
-—in order to know if his person was
such that it might please so accom-
plished a young girl. Then he saw
that. even though the cut of his 0vor«
' cost was bad. there was nothing repul-
. also about his looks. Next he inquired

floor. He did not know why, but he

was Valentino, he was quite enchanted.

"What a simple matter it is. after

"It only needed a little thought."
The operation completed, the chim-
ney smoked as before. But the great
architect took care of his bill.
“Hang it. what a bill!" M. Laman-
tin could not help sighing as he paid it.
Disgusted with architects, the house-
holder turned to bricklayers. The first
one called in ordered the addition to
the fine of a piece of sheet iron in the
form of a serpent.
The chimney continued to send out
its smoke into the parlor.
A second bricklayer arrived; with
disgust ho had his colleague's cement
removed and substituted for it a sort of
helmet of the some material.
The chimney did not pay any atten-
tion to the helmet, but smoked worse
than over.
But here the concierge interweod
with these consoling words: “Sir, you
are wrong to despair. I was just this
moment talking of this matter with
one of the minute—oh, I must say it,
such a nice tenant! He told me that
he would undertake to disenchant your
chimney in five minutes."
“Let him come to me instantly. or I
give him notice to leave."
As quick as lightning Passeraud put
himself at the orders of M. Lamantin.
He found his landlord trumpingup and
down his parlor, which was as cold as
ico.
“Ah. it is you, young lllllll, who flut-
