We all know of the old superstition that it is ominous for thirteen people to sit down at t talilo together. Even now it 9 something that very sensible people do not like to do, and in Franco, a hundred years ago, it was not to be thought of; and there wero men of gentle appearance who kept by them a dinner dress and hired themselves out to hosts who found it impossible other wise to avoid the dreadful number; so that nuatoiriemc, or fourteenth, was actually a calling. When Madamo Verno'a Graiid- daughter Hnrtcnso wa3 betrothed to Monsieur Moran, it became nccesnry to celebrate the occasion bv a little family supper. No strangers were to be tasked gradmammn, grandpapa, pa, who since his wife's death, had led a fort of bachelor's life in l'aris, leav ing his little daughter with her grand parents; Madamo Noir, and her husband ; M. Mornn, and the aunts and uncle's, and cousins generally were to come ; no one else, llut when Madame Verne had counted Ilium till, she leund to her Lorror, that they numbered thirteen. Something must bo dono. She bethought her to invite M. Tlodeu, tlio priest, who had christ ened liltle Ilnricu-e. Surely that was quite suitable. So M. linden was invited, nnd all went well until two days before the supper, when nn unimportant young cousin bethought hi in to break a limb, and reduced tho parly again to thir teen. The tini3 was short, but madamo made t Ii 3 best it. She invited the mu sic master, who accepted with delight. It wa3 certainly proper that one who had taught the pretty Hortenso so many years should bo one of the par ty. Matters were arranged onco more so that t'er.th should havo no chance to count his own at that table, when a message came to Uncle Pierre which demanded his presenco elsewhere. Again there were but thirteen guests, nnd but half a day remaining. Ma dame Verne was equal to tho emerg ency. She sent a noto to a deaf old geutlemau of her acquaintance, repre senting the supper as an impromtu affair, and begging him to come. And now all was well again. The fourteenth guest was in the house, tho rest were arriving. Tho ladies were adding the finishing touches to their toilettes in tho dressing-room, and Hortenso, nil blushes, was receiving the congratula tions of her friends, when suddenly screams were heard to reuouud through the house. The maiden aunt Mademoiselle Iio sine, had caught her dress on fire. It was extinguished before she was hurt, but the dress was spoiled, her nerves upset, and she could not and would not remain to the supper, and there was the supper awaiting tho guests w ho were again thirteen. Madamo Verne was in despair. How could she go to a friend aud guy, 'We i id not mean to invite you to sup with us, but wo are thirteen ; come, aud make haste for it is on tho table.' Plainly she could neither d.o this ask one of her guests to depart, nor stay away herself. A quatoriemc must be had ; but how and where on so short notice? Suddeuly Madame Verno remembered her notary. Sure ly a man who had transacted all tho family business would do them the lit tle favor of saying a life. A carriage was at tlio door. She tossed on a hood and shawl am) hurried into it. Drive to No. 'J lluo Koyah,' she said to the coachman, 'as fast as you can.' 'riio coachman obeyed. It was only five minutes' ride to the building in which the notary's office was located a many storied edifice, of which he occupied the second floor. M. Morau IlorteusVs hclrothe husband, occu pied the first. As sho hurried past their door, Madame Verne glanced to wards then anil saw a lady in black, speaking to a servant, w ho at tho same instant shut the door in her face. Madamo Verne, having mounted the stair-', was doomed to disappointment. i'Iic iioturv w is in, but ho was suffer ing from an attack of gout. He was in 110 condition to 'line out. However, he could L'ivo her the directions of a quatorzioirfffrw ho. if he was disengaged would be happy to hire himself out for supper lituo. lie wrote on a piece of papec and again madamo hurried down stairs. As she reached tho foot, however, she paused. A woman, dress ed in black, sat upon the lower otie, rocking herself to and fro, and moan ing.' Madame Verne had a kind heart. She paused, stoope 1 down, touched the figure upon the shoulder and said, 'My poor child, what is the matter?" As she spoke, a face, beautiful.swcwt. and n.-t past twenty, was lifted to hers; but there canie no answer. 'This is an odd place to find a girl alone, thought madamo; 'but she must be a lady. I cauuot roUlakeher expression." She s'loke u -j;t in. Rates of Advci i.

'Oh, you look so kind!' she said 'so good! perhaps you will advi?o me. I havo come from the country; I am an orphan ; I have no relatives; I cair.o to find a friend who promised tno everything; I cannot. I know 110 one here. Yesterday I spent my inet coin. Is there anthing for me but tho river? I know there is not ; but you look kind, and I I could not help telling you. 'The river nonsense !' said tnudanie. 'You will fm l your friend, or you caif" go back to your old Lome, can you not? Yo nro not heathen hero in Paris; we'll int let you starve A girt si youug should never havo tra?. ltd alone; but you can return if you have the expenses for the journey, can' you not ?" . " . The girl slir.ok horhtftd. 'No,' sho said 'no I can never i- back. 'You have not been in tho Lab it of working?' said the madamo. 'You are a lady ?' '1 havo neTcr worked at anything,' sho answered. 'My father died two' months biro. He was a surgeon. But I would work gladly. I would dif anything to earn my bread.' .Suddenly nn idea flashed ujkju ma diimo'u mind. 'At least, you shall cam your sup per,' she said. 'Conio with me.' She hurried tho girlj into tho car riage, and drove away with her, ex plaining as they rode, the emergency in which she found herself. You will wear a dress of my grand daughter's,' sho said a black laco which may be thrown over your own. Your splendid black hair needs only the brush, and I will pin 11 roso in it. To-morrow I will find you eonio em ployment. I believe in face), mademoi selle, aud you aro a lady aud an iu nocent one. No ono cau doceivo rno, and so I trust aa others dare not.'
