ugly creature with a Worn-out dress,
Med black gloves and eyeglasses over
her nose."
He hurriedly pulled on his tunic again

' She was paieand very gentle in appeer-

wonderful eyes of a deep sea green with
lids that seemed to palpitato on her
cheeks when she dropped her eyelashes.
“Mademoiselle Jeanne Ozy. I believe,

‘ “Oui, Monsieur."
“Be seated, pray, and let us have e

sweet voice.
‘ ”That is a great deal more than is
necessary for a young lad like Robert.

much time in the garrison. But the
child is very docile and obedient and is of

teaching him easier. What hours can you
give him?”
“0h! mousieur, whatever you wish.
Choose those that will be most convenient
for you.”
”Do you not give any other lessons?”
noted the Unpteln with surprise.
"Oh. yes, monaieur—that is to say—

“Mademoiselle,” cried (i'l'lpcval with
impulse, "no far as the question of money
is concerned there will be no dillicully

He pronounced this sentence in an
ne'er voice, and he was himself surprised
et the warmth that he had put into it.
It was as if he had DDClJII:~4'lnursiy made
hit-ll other of service, flfit‘l'lillll and de—
votion. To escape from this feeling,
which rose up in e confused sort of
.g manner in his breast, he allili more
" brusquely:
“You had better see Robert, and make
the acquaintance of your pupil."
Ho rang the hell, and the child an-
peered with his nurse. lie was a veritable
Velasquez, with his curly light heir
falling over a black Velvet coat, topped
with a [mule Xlll. yollar and old lace.
At the door little liohert stopped, as if
infiltrated, mulling, amazed at what he
saw before hurl. 'i‘lxen, chipping his
hands together, he cried out:
. "Oh, papa. pupa, what lovely eyes she

And spontaneously he rushed up to her
l and oflered his lips to her to kins, while

There was a silence broken only by the
mud of papers and copy books that
Jeanne Ozy turned over to ascertain what
her pupil could do.
A seen of awkwardneus manned to

one exuuiined the strokes and flourishes
oi the euyy hook sentences, the other
cello to the conclusion that the young
girl pleased him very much, indeed-
Inuch more, in feet, then should have
i been the case. '
Although not yet 40 years oi ego the
Captain had already turned his house in-
to e sort of cloister. No Women, other
then those of his own family. had ever
crossed his threshold. Never had he rov
oolved any one in his rooms but his own
well-chosen friends, for he wished his boy
to grow up among the very best nurruuuuo
lags.
And now, suddenly. the change oi life
compelled him to introduce into his
house a women, young, seductive and in.
dieputehl y attractive.
Obviously. from the fact alone that she
would he uhlmoil with the education of
‘ Robert, she would be sacred to him. But
would he be able to conquer and control

The young girl had risen. She was
paler even than when she came in. She
kissed the boy once more. lie clung to
her blue skirt and tried to hold her by
the strength of hit little hands. But she
bowed gravely and withdrew without e
word. without a single gesture, without
a complaint.
This had already happened to her sev-

Scott used to say. when talking of his

for continuous labor was even more ex.-
treordlnary. To him, indeed, an perhaps
to all such men, work was a refuge from

heard at 8 o’clock in the morning, and
lir. Cuehman’e green frog has not left
the spring yet for the deep well.
"There are other signs he eeys in the
prediction and all indicate an open and
mild winter. He says we will have but
one freeze up and that will be limited to
twoyeeks in January.
“Mr. Cnshman IdVlC"! all farmers and
icemeu to gather their crops of ice at the
first freezing, as there will be no second
freezing up this season. He also predicts
a second indien Summer in December,
from the fact of the appearance oi straw-
