"Why, s she talk ?" Quite a pretty pieco of mtchnnism," said his mint "Very well put together." Lefebvro looked at them in amazement and indignation. "Really," said he, "it is wonderful what women are made of." "Not this one," said Helen, deliberately putting up her glass. "She is false from the crown of her head to the solo of her foot How can you be so taken in? I dont know what you are made of, Lucian, to think ot Introducing Mich n creatine to yoursistersj nor how she made her way here. lie was just turning on his heel in speech lcs anger' but remembering he bad left the side of the lady in dispute for the avowed imrnose of brin-ing his sisters to her, be ex- laimed : "Whatever she is, some of you I legation say, dressed. She is visiting pcoplo just on the 1 verge of society, Mrs. Vaughn, says, but sho doesn't seem to belong to them, It Is my belief that she has had money, run through nearly all of it, and that is her last throw for station nnd a husband." "Laura, whero In tho world," cried her displeased -aunt, "did you pick up such" "French novels," said Belle, who had run over. "I must say, Laura, I think you took a great deal on yourself. Now she will re turn 'he call." "She sho would like to bo respectable," stammered Laura. "And you know very well that If you want Lucian to go and mar ry such a woman nut of hand, you htjve only to persecuie ner." "Persecute her! You do use select terms. We let her alone which you bad better have done." "I I didn't want Lucian to be morti fied." "So you mortify us." And by tho time Lucian came homo Laura was inn flood of tears, and sobbed out, In reply to his amazed inquiry : "Oh, they are abusing me sol" And then every one laughed at tho idea of their abusing little Laura, the darling of the house. "Well, well, Laura," said ho "I'll not abuse you. I Invite you to our picnic to morrow to Great Falls. Mrs. DeDerrian will chaperon you." "Mrs. Dellerrian I" rose tho chorus. "Madam Arroyo, the Spanish minister's wife, invites her." "Well, to be sure,"sald Belle catching her suspended breath, "nobody knows anything about her cither an adventuress, nil the mint come witli me and be presented to her as I am here for that purpose, and I will not have her insulted." Indeed 1" said Helen, looking over the topot her fan into infinite space, but not stirring. "I will go, Lucian," said Laura, who had not spoken. "Come, Hell, help uie out." "Well, Laura, for a little goose I How ever I will never desert a companion in arms. Do you suppose she has observed our coun cil of war ?" as they moved off beside Luci an, witli his chin well in the air "She is a fine picture.

Thero was a familiar fling of a scarf. Good gracious i was that his cousin Lmra ? Tho sight of her made him fall back on his pillow and begin to recall the events of the evening before. It was just then that some ono camo rustling by bis closed curtains a ady who wished to make her toilet beforo the rest of tho car was astir. Tho sound stopped short ; the person did not go on. Instinctively Colonel Lefebvre glanced through the crack of his etirtians. A net ting of tho lady's fringe had caught on tho hook ef some projected valise the porter was disengaging it an oldish, frowzy sort of woman. One uplifted hand grasped the curtain for support ; upon it shone a gleam ing sapphire. Tho drops started out on his forehead. Was it Impossible I He sat up and glared at her. Sho held a toilette-case in her other hand. Sho was making for the little dressing room. Thero was the same bronze green luster silk, tho same black lace Corslcan Fnncral Kites. In Corsica walling and chanting Is kept up, off and on, from tho hour of burial. The news that the bead of a family has expired is quickly communicated to his relations nnd friends in tho surrounding hamlets, who hasten to form themselves into a troop or band, that aro locallyjcalled the Sclrrata, and thus advance in procession toward the house of mourning. If the death was caused by violence, tho scirrata makes a halt when it arrives lu sight of tho village, nnd then it is that the Corslcan women tear their hair and scratch their faces tilt the blood flows, just ns do their sisters in Dalinatia nnd Montene gro, Tho widow awaits the scinata by the door of tho house, nnd, ns it draws near, ihe leader steps fuith and throws a black veil over her head to symbolize her widowhood'; the term of which must offer a dreary pros pect to a woman who has the misfortune to lose her husband white she is stilt in the prime of life, for public opinion insists that she remain for years in almost total seclu sion. Tho mourners and as many ns can enter the room assemble round the body, which lies stretched on a table of plank sup ported by benches ; It is draped in a long mantle, or it is clothed in the dead man's best suit.

You can imagine his surprise when, as he reined his liorse up nt tho steps of the house wher i Mrs.De Ilerrian was visiting, he saw his cousin Laura coming down with Mis. Vaughn, a leader of the fashions, with whom she sometimes went out j for Laura was an heiress, and but littlo gain said in her wishes. DEALERS IN "Our turn now." "He would have made Laura such a good husband," said one. "But now this demoralizing woman." And while they were bemoaning bis de cline aud fall, the subject of their complaint was whirling away in a palace-car.surround-ed by wraps and rugs and lunch basket and periodicals and French candy and Mrs. De (Soman, the wax-lights shining softly down from above on the charming picture the lady made, as, having rcmsved her hat, she leaned back among her cushions under the shelter of the rose-colored scarf passed over her dark curls. Mrs. De Ilerrian had been summoned to New York on important business ; Colonel Lefebvro bad suddenly found that he had business there too. Mrs. De Berrian perhaps meant to give him some business before he returned. Neither of them was aware that behind the curtains of a neighboring section, whoso berths had sing room, crimped and curled nnd powder ed, a blooming, smiling picture, seated her self in her re-arranged section, and awaited her cavalier, She waited a long while. While she was in the dressing-room that cav alier had stepped off the train at Elizabeth. As Colonel Lefebvre sat in his aunt's roopi in the Brevoort that night, he replied to her query concerning his glrom : "Let me be. I have a right to bo a little disturb ed. I have lost a friend. I have escaped a terrible danger. I hao found an invalua ble possession that I had mislaid. What did you bring Laura here for? Her summer finery ?

Sixty persons is not an extraor dinary number to be entertained at a ban-1 quet, and there is, over and above, a gener al distribution of bread and meat to poor er neighbors. Mutton in summer, and pork in wiutcr, are estimated the viands proper to the occasion. In happy contrast to all this lugubrious feasting is the simple cup of milk drawn by oach kinsman of the shep herd who dies in the mountains : in which case the body is laid out, like Robin Hood's, in the open air, a green sod under his head, hii loins begirt with the pistol belt, his gun at Ids side, bis dog at his feet. Curious are the superstitions of the Corsicin shepherds I touching death. The dead, they say, call I tho living iu the night time, and be who an swers will soon follow them ; they believe. too, that, if you listen attentively after dark, you may hear at times the low beating of a drum, which announces that a soul has passed.
