The beautiful Mademoiselle-do Limou
sin is as lair anil as Iran as a niv.
French blonde, whose deep blue eyes
darkened almost to purplo by long lash
es, it goes without saying that sho is tho
belle of the ball, llulbho is something
more than that, sho is almost a siren with
that bewitching look which seems td
I Hatter all who woo her lo say that the
beautiful world of Paris was at her feet
was scarcely to exaL'creralo. Sho siiread
the intoxicating fever of lovo wherever
sho went, and seemed to live upon
admiration.
And what, perhaps, heightened her
charm was the general belief that her
heart was affected not by love, fair
reader, but by disease. The, doctors were
I generally c.ercif-ed in mind upon her.
llow loud they are ol studying simply
of course, m tho interest ol
science the malailies ol youi
beautiful women, needs no comment.
Amont; the number were two voting
gentlemen duly aimed with powers to
go forth and cure or kill. And one of
these M. Thibaut, who sought distraction
from tho monotony ol sitting over a big
fire, and waiting lor rings Irom the sur
gery hell, was an inviuil guest ol M. tie
Limousin. Deeply wounded by tho fas
cinations of Cclimene, ho detei mined lo
know tho woi st or best at the very earliest
oppcilunity.
'I will not ask you to dance, lie said,
bending over her. "You know well, ii
I had my way, you should not dance at
all."
"It is uugallant to twit mo with my
shoilntss of breath.
'Como with me. You know mo bet
ter than that," and ho led her through
the largo hall, which was hung with
pictures, up a massivo stone staireaboio
a dimly lighted landing, bordered with
choico but sickly smelling tloweis.
Placing her tenderly m a huge chair,
ho stood beside her, looking down at tho
fair bosom, which heaved tumiilliioiifily.
It might havo been tho staiis.or a predic
tion of what was coming. These crises
in a woman's life stamp her
For although sho knows perh
that an offer is about to bo made, she al
ways aflects surprise.
M Thibaut clearul his throat and
piobnbly felt the awfulness of tho posi

family is recognized as among the most
distinguished local society. Within
tho mansion tho exterior promise of lux
uiy is fulfilled, taste and ait and culture
having kept pace with tho liberal expen
diture of money which beautified this
home. A genial elderly gentleman is
tho master. Uipo in the experience of
many years of contact with the wprhl,
with tho warm, hoartvriohnoss of nature
green within him, this man enjojs the
esteem and regard of all who know him
or aro honored by his hospitality.
There is something of romance about
his life, and now and then it is good to
tin it over tho-pages of tho past to read
how men have battled against tho adver
sities and triumphed over obstacles too
stupendous for efl'oits ot tho majority.
