"That clii.d would want a father lnully.
"That i my opinion also."
'Would you have any objection to mv
.kiii the mother to marry nic?"
"Whv should I. In fact, I was thinking
nf ili.niii the Mine inye!f; but since you
liave spoken first, follow the notion up -lint
on the condition that you will let me
, l.ii.ie as often an I like. 1 lore that
thi.il as much as if she were my own."
"Kn!noth! You will live with us."
The question agreed upon, the two broth
er" i!ri"rd in their best, went to call on
Mine. Ktienne, whom, however, they found
tun lined to bed. The evening before die
hail walked very rapidly, in order to take
lunic work back to the Hhnp on time, on re
turning she had caught a chlil, passed a fr
verish night, and was not able to rise in
the morning. Mie Indued her neighbors to
go fur a doctor; it was no time to M'l.'ik
of marriage.
Inll.iniination of the lungs carried away
the poor woman in ten days.
The funeral over, they took charge of the
little one, kissing her. They aid to one
another, at the same time:
"If you wish, we will never get married
u"
Thev went to live at Yirci lines, so that
l.iliie might have plenty of good air and
take walks in the wood. They were very
iiroinl of their little adopted daughter. When
people stopped to look at them, and asked
in a casual way which of them was her
father, they replied: "Itoth of us."
l.iliie deemed to like one as well ni the
other, and called them Uncle John and
Uncle .l.ime.1.
When the was l.l vears of age she was
the first to suggc.-t that hc should stay at
home for the future, at which, of course, the
brother, were enchanted. What a charm
ing little housekeeper thev had then, and
with what joyful tenderness she greeted
their return every evening! jo say that
the spoiled child never abused their good-
Ties would be saying too much; but at least
ihc seized every available opportunity of
Jilia:ni them.
Two year passed over so quickly for all
of them, that on the day the two men
brought a cuke and a bouquet to celebrate
Lillie's birthday, they exclaimed:
"Seventeen year, old! Is it possible?'
Hut, yes, it was possible. And .James
iml John thought so much about it that it
made them anxious and unhappy.
It was the younger who said one even
ing to the other:
"Do you know that Lillie is getting more
beautiful every day?"
"Kh! Yes. I know it well. And other
know it, too. There must be a good many
dmirers prowling about lure after her.''
Ami it I. certain one of them will take
her a way from us before very long."
1 nor uttle thing!
"Yes, if she w ere to get a bail husband."
"Oh, 1 should kill any man who would
treat her badly."
"There is only one way of escaping that."
"Ah!" said the elder brother, without
Making any addition to the exclamation.
"And then," continued the other, "think
how tad it would be for us to part from
Lillie. Never again to see her trotting about
the house, never to hear her merry voice
ltitfing after we return from work of an
(Veiling."
"I have betn thinking of all that for a
lcng time, my dear John."
"And it must be put an end to."
"And you plan;"
"It is very simple if it pleases you.. I
hall marry her before she get. fond of any
ne else."
"Zounds!"
The elder brother tood up, aliuot threat
Ming. "Well! What i the matter?"
"1 also have thought of that plan. I was
ouui going to speak about it, but alwa)
field back."
"Why"'
"liecause I wanted to marry Lillie my
elf." The two brother, looked at each other far
trom amiably; then the younger .aid:
"111 is is the same a. with the mother for
inirly. J)u you. remember, James? 1 gave
jer up to you. It is your turn, now, to give
hillie up to me. You lire three year, older
man i."
"W hich, nevertheless, doe. not make you
ry young."
A song was heard ascending from below
'ta'rs. l.iliie wi coming back from her
uoiy shopping.
"Listen." said .Tolm. mnidlv. "The child
ho has made our happiness up to this must
uui ue a cause of disunion between u. Let
choose the nut she likes host."
. "All right," .aid the other, "that is quite
.air."
bilSe entered, took the two men by the
"ik, kissed them, ami, drawing a chair be
tween them, .aid:
wish to speak to you seriously.
. 'he face of the young girl looked quite
J')'nus.
"Iwish to get married."
'John and I were just speaking about it."
But you have not found me a husband."
As a mutter of fact we have. You love
"ivery much, you my?"
Tike father and mother at once."

. ')Vll'ch of us you will marry."
Joe young girl burst into a tit of laughter
10 Joyous, so prolonged, that the two broth-
" remained quite diimfounded. Then,
