Working throughout the your among the vines, he had acquired the wine color of an onion. He went to Revigny now and then to put by some money that he might have a good dowry for his daughter Rosetta, a pretty lass, blond as the harvest field and as fresh as a May morn. Rosetta had entered her eighteenth year and was much sought. after. Sho drew some lovers by the hope of finding in her a “good match.” Others she at- tracted by her beauty and fascination. Time lostl Rosetta only laughed at her suitors and found much to ridicule in this one and that one. She laughed besides for that best of reasons with a young girl—that her heart was no longer her own. At a country festival she had danced several waltzos with Paolo Laurient, the son of a rich dealer in Ligny. Tho brown hair, large dark cyes, regular profile and co- ressing voice of Paolo had produced upon Rosetta an inclfacvahle impression. His gentle and affable manners cou- trasted especially with the roughness of the youths of Iicviguy. Having received a good education, ho tallml with mar- velous facility, and Rosetta was not slow in listening to him. 0n the cvcning of the festival this true daughtcr of l-Ivc. having lost her family voluntarily in the crowd, rc- turncd to Rcviguy on l’uolu's arm. Tllcy were at least two hours on the way, walking slowly and uompullod from time to times to pans:- when the wind blew too strongly livnuath the great. poplars which lined the twonuc. They arrived at the village, which was dcscrt. cd, and under the field of azure studded with stars cxchangvd their first kiss. Very frequuntly after this Rosetta had met Paolo. Then his father had sent him to Paris to study medicine, and the lovers, cxchanging vows of mutual fealty. sadly separated, and this was why Rosetta laughcdeat tho suitors who came in handsome, l’aolo’s absence. For the first months after his (lcpar- turc he wrote regularly to llosctta. Thou the letters lwcamo more rarc, with in- tcrvals of a month. Gradually they be- came laconic billets, scribbled, nndonbt, in illll'ilt‘ at ibvcnrnvrof a iablcin a cal-- and giving lvidvncn of growing indifv forencc. At last tln-yccascd entirely. Paolo had forgotten her. It “'38 an old story. At first Paolo had refused to take part in the diver- sione of his follow studcnts, the balls and lirvw'rry Hummus. Then they tuner-d him and act-used him of having lcft u love in the country. This made him angry; but, lining fund of plcasuru, he soon docidml intake hispart in lhoplny, “After all, ” humid to himself, “tiny shave rczuiou manor-r. Whyquarrcl with pleasure?

But ltosvtlatv‘as not to ho consoled. On tho mntrary. sho sum-rod terribly at. this abandonment and many limos tnrnrd her mnnrnt’ul cycs toward Paris. Rovcral years went by. Paolo had known how to divert himself and yet study. After having passed lilscxnmina- tion with honor ho wroto to his fathcr for permission to establish hlmsull in Paris. To this, howovm. Father Lou. ricnt could not consent. llo desired his son to return immmlintoly to Ligny and establish himself there. "As for tho rcpugnmico you seem to manifest for your natiVo country.” he wrote, “that is not the point in ques— tion. The Workshops of Ligny have mm’lo you a gontlcmmi. and you lmlong to the people hero. You owo assured debt to your country. and as sure as you are a gentleman this debt, my son, you will certainly pay. " “Thorium-cl" thought Paolo. "Fa- thcr Lauriont will be hard to convince. But I must make him yield. Besides, if I return there, i shall see Rosetta, whom, I must confess, I have treated barely. i hope she has not starteda scandal to meet me at Ligny. But Fo- thcr Lnnrient would have spoken of it if she had. i shall stay here. “ ,, Photo’s foam Weft! groundless. Rosetta had rcsignml her-self to the inevitable. She dared not aspire now to be Paolo’e wife. Would it not be a very astonish- ing thing it the little Rosetta Dcunot shouldbeoome the hrldeof Dr. Loorisuti There would be laughter for to leagues about at such sweddlng. be sitereeign- sd mu without anger, without bitter- ness, emanated, when stone, to haunt stinti burnished »fltlflt “It is Bitten." , . The Bonnets, however, consulted the most celebrated physicians of the region. None of them could discover the cause of the trouble. But some good country friend had been behind Paolo and Rosetta at the time when they made their pledge of love. Father Donnet was at last in- formed of their betrotbal. It was to him like a flash of light. He know now what oiled Ros to. He knew, and he could bring the remedy. At down he harnessed his mare. at- tached her to his old carriage and de- ported in the direction of Ligny. . I i i i Q If you are not in ngny in three dayabeware of my anger. Lauauar. Such was the telegram that Paolo re- ceived one morning. He knew his stern father well enough to understand that he must obey him. Evidently the old gentleman was in a rage, and it would be imprudent to trifle with him. “On my faith, there is nothing but to resign myself, ” he murmured. “I must return to my country.” The next day he was in Ligny. "At last you are here!" exclaimed FathcrLaurient upon his arrival. “But not of your own will; The gentlemen of the faculty may be remarkable for some things. but they seem to have lit- tle respect for paternal autlmrity. But we will speak no. more of that. Now that you are here you will allow me is present you as a future physician at Ligny, thus guaranteeing your ability. ” “But, dad, I have my diploma.” “Our friends would laugh at that or at two diplomas. It is for me to assure them of your ability and for you to verify it. Well, let us learn what they think: of you. You shall make with me your first round of visits. ” A moment after father and son were seated side by side in a carriage which was being rapidly home along by thr vigorous horses attached to it. Lauricnt smoked a cigar with an air of satisfaction. Paolo, pleased within his heart at seeing his country again, turncd about. to look it over. Suddenly the carriage turncd sharply into an avcnuc flanked by poplar truce -—tho uvmuc that Paolo had follovml with Rosetta uudur tho starlit sky. It was llic road to Rcvigny.

Thcn he pushed the coitugn door open and (-utcri-d. Paolo followed him into a large room upon the lower floor. A cry burst from the young man. Upon an iron lwdstoad, curtaim-d with lace, Ro- setta lay in a half slulnlwr. Thorn was an indescribable expression of sadness upon her swept face. Beside her out her white haired parents. Fathor Laurivnt advancml in the bed, laying his rough, toil \roru hand upon tho girl's forehead. , ”Rosetta, my child, arouse yourself. " Tho girl trrmblcd, passed licr hand orcr her brow as if to banish some im— pnrtuimtc dream, and ihrn as her dim cycs opined was stupotlml to row the good face and gray whiskers of Father Laurivnt and to incur the worthy man say: “I have coum, Rosetta, to giro your pursuits hupv.

"Yes,” responded the vine dresser, "I recollect also the old mover-h "rho Word of a blacksmith is worth the oath of a king.’ " "Exactly so, " said Lnurient, straight suing himself.
