Scatter-.! aout on tho firm whs to s inds are un.ny littlo red and white tenia, in tho Mia'ie of which people hit through loiiir . summer hours reading, talking w ith each other, or, what is far ir.oro profitable toacoutemplative iiiind, watching the sea. Wilfred does not find '! ti'i " hanging hea i!y on his hands down here on the lie knows every t no aV.ut hi:n, and as ho is fairly good lookir.g, with cheerful, acrri ea'.lo man ners, h.o is a pr-ieral favorito and a wel come guest under any or all of the rod and white tents. Tho fishermen like to have him stop and chat with them whih; they are busy alout their boats, and tho baro-legtred fisher - girls, crossing the sands wnh their ni ts across their shoul- lers, often exchange a cheery Uni'ir i:h Llm when they so r.atun d, generous soul. e him under tho Ho is a simple- generous soul, wto would suf fer torture himself rather than pn.in any one else by word or deed. Every day, nearly, ho writes a letter there in his tent to his far-o IT fm-ue in America; ani when tho year of wait ing is over in which ho has promised r.ot to see her, top-ratify some absurd whim of her piother's, ho will return to America and they will lo married in di e time. Meanwhile he is amusing him self in fin ling out all sorts of attract ive nooks and corners of travel, with tho intention of bringing Eleanor to t'p.eru next jear. Eleanor will bo suro to like Arroinanchf s, ho thinks, as ho pace-, the hard white sands or rambles along the cliff. Sometimes at evening ho h aves tho Aubergo Chretien for a chat with tho fishermen sitting about on their updrawn boats, just out of tho reach of the tide. Tho liyhts on the cliff above twinkle cheerfully, ani through tho lino of spars and tangled rigging tho sea flashes white in tho moonlight. Tho young man takes a placid enjoyment in it all the gleam ing s.-a. the tw inkling lights, the gossip ing talk of the Csherfolk. lie knows by this timo tho family history of half the i i a. r . . . . ' dwc-lliTS in Arromanches. He knows why Jeanne Vauvray will not marry cither Simon Cauchon or his brother Alphonse, Imth of whom havo ben in love with her from their childhood; why Louis llumt.nt goes every Sunday to Et-rnay; how much nioniy Henri Ser ment made from bis fish the year before and jut what fish tho cure prefers for his Friday dinners. At least, if ho does r.ot know all these thimrs, it is not fer want of hearing about them often. And he is communicative in his turn, ar.d lolls the in much, alout America and of the nary places he has viitedin his travels, to all of which they listen in tently, but with an inward convic tion that Arrv.i.ani 1 es ii V tier to live in than any on of thoso strange? foroigTi plai't-.'i.

Muio. Chretien tikes a personal intt n-st in her lodt-r, like" every ouo rise in ArTonianehes. and is quito dis tressed to hear of his kss.

Wilfred easrorly responds that it is. "I found it on the 'te hut now," says the irl. "as I was corning hack to the c.ill with my net. Alphonse; Cauehei., it v. as he r ho said to toe thai the American Monsieur at the Auberye Chretii n had lost it, and Monsieur wiil iee that I have troug-ht it at once to him." . - - "It ii very pood of you tf take c( much truuli'r," says Vilf.-t-d. j.r,mt'.i.. and Lo is ikiKjut. to orTer her a coin for th-5 s rvieo she La-s r reiend hiai when tue pirl shakes i.. r heal dtcidt-dly.

And, staying this, fce hands her a small, veivft-lnmea picture of tho Si-tine Madonna which sa:;ds on a tahlo ly h:ra and on which yes happ, n to fall at that UiOment. L.h U.-i i; LctaliLg.. "Surely,- t.ho .ay. "Moaiour can not f"r Tj lrlv0 ""is!" An-i t,h looks fr.-m the picture to Wilfred, an 1 fr-"" ' ok to tho picture, in he- wilderment. "i os, that Is just what I do mean," Elsie looks about tho room, with its many li'.tie devices for oo-nfort and lux ury for W.ifre.l hr.s somethiiiif of do sv harito in his c..:u position and then at tho irood-iookiiirt owner of ticm ail. and see -is for a mo men l lost in thought. 'Monsieur is very kind," tho sa. sai Ir-nirth, "and he may 1h- sure thai Eli-twill not forget hiiii."' And then she bids the American good-oveninc, and goe-s down the steep gallery stair-an to the inn yard, and disappears in the twi light, holdii'tr the velvet f.-umo fa-t in Lit hard hand. Wilfred is too plr-.d to retrain Eh-anor's gift to think very mil oh about tiio man lier of its restoration, but tin next morning, as he sits under his u-ui, he sees tho fisher-girls cros.-dng the sands not far away from him. Arm :.j- them is Elise. "H in jour. Monsieur," they call out as they pass. Eliso is the las one. and she turns her head for another look at him. H i wavs his hand kindly, and t-ho smiles and hurries on to her com panions. Tho days go on quietly at Arro manehes. One day is just like another, but tho young man does not mind that. Tho walk lioiin tho after break- fa-t; the reading and wilting under tho red and white tent; tho chits with the occupants of tho other tents; the walks towards Rayeux or elsewhere in the afternoon; tho evening spent among tho fishermen and their loat.s these things are what fill up his harmless, if not severely profitable, days. Every day the lines of hare-legged fisher-girls crosses the silvery sands and every day ho waves Lis hand lightly to Eliso and thinks of her not again till the next time ho sees her. Eliso's memory is longer. Indeed, ho is nevt r far out of her mind. When sho is alone she repeats seiftiy to herself the words he said to her, and wonders vaguely if all Americans arc like him. So tho days go by with her; each with a little pain, the causo of which she does not quite know; each with a littlo sweetness in it when she sees him under his tent on the;.i-7, or catches a glimpse of him in tho village. But August comes at lentrth to its end, and Wilfred makes up his mind to leave Arromanches. Every one is sorry to hoar that ho is going, and fully haif tho village gathers about the diligence in front of the Aulrgo Chretien on tho moming of his departure. All the Chretien household are there in full force, of course, and with them many of the fishermen and fisher-girls, and a greater number of small children than ono would have believed existed in tho entiro hamlet. It is an exceedingly pleasant thing to be young and a gen eral favorite, and Wilfred enjoys very much this spontaneous eviaenco oi TTTh popularity. The farewells take up a y - I a -i gen! deal of time so much, indeed, that the diligence is at least twenty minutes la to when it starts for ISayeux. "I shall come again next year," calls out Wilfred from the diligence, and then, amidst a general cry of "Bon voy age. Monsieur," the diligence rolls away. At the Chateau de Tracy the diligence stops to take on another passenger, and here, by the roadside, Wilfred sees Eliso. He does not dream that sho has taken an early walk along tho Eayeux road that sho may see him once more after all the others have said their farewells. Ilut so it is. and fortune has lioen kind to her, for the stopping of the diligence Las given her the opportunity for a word with him while the liiggnjrc of the new issMinpir is being taken on. Sho has on her sabots now, and is very neat ly dresstsL Monsieur must know that I had art errand at tho Chateau, and so I could not bid him farewell, as tho others said they should do at tho Auberjo Chre tien." Sho smiles as the say3 this, and Wil fred h- liev 'S h-, says afe.v hind worls, hopes ho shail m o her there nert year, clin.hs hack into tho diligence, and bho is left standing' alone at the pate of tho Chateau dn Tracy. Then, and not till then, her eyt-s fill with tears. A year rries by, and Wilfred Js ore's more in Arroiiiancln's. Things have gono well with him mean whtle, and Eleanor accoi-ipanies him this tiiii'.'.

'.Soo, Eiise," said Wilfred, gayly, "hero is my wife; she who gave m the littlo hook y.iu foui.d last sum ner." Eiiso stops short. 'Uis wife'." JSho bhivors slightly, althoutrh the day is tAT.rm.

'My husband has told mo of you," sho says, kindly, "and wc are both glad to seo you." Sho wins the girl to say a few words, and then they move away, and Eliso is left alone as she was a year r.go at tho jjatoof tho Chateau do Trey, but this li'r.o not even the faintest gleam of a shadowy hope stays with her to brighten the future. And Wilfred will never know. Tho Eecn t was safe w ith Hl.-ar.or, who read it instantly when sho looked in the eyes of Eliso. Sho is euro of it hen they m.-fot Elise ngain with the same look: of dumb pain in her eyes. They loavo Ar-orr.ar.rl.es In a week er two. and from behind a hedge on the llayeux road Eiiso watches their depart ure she has nevt r put her thoughts into words, s-he is conscious trly of siiifoi in;" that she can not help, F:T-rir.tr that is no one's fault, unless it !- a fault to If handsome and kind and unob brrving.

Gonel'.a watched tho fray with great com placency, and when the beggars were all bruised and bleeding ho went on to church with a clear and calm conscience. The Duke of Ferrara fell ill, and the doctors declared that only a sudden fright would restore him to health. He was too great a man for any one to play tricks on except his fool. Gonella was with him in a boat, and cleverly pushed the Duke into the water. Aid had boon previously provided, and tho Prince was drawn ashore and put to bed. Tho fright and th hath and tho bed cured the invalid, but he was so enraged with (lonella that he exiled the man. who was both a fool and a physician. (Jonel La returned in a cart filled with Pad nan Boil; an evasion of tho edict of banish ment said to have lieen practiced by many a jester. The Duke ordered him to be beheaded, but saying privately that he would only repay fright with fright, he directed the executioner not to use the axe, but to lot fall a singlo drop of water on tho culprit's neck. Gonella was led to the scaffold; all tho usual gloomy preparations wero made. Ho was blindfolded and made to lay his head upon the block. Tho executioner, from a vial, let fall a drop of water cn Gonella's neck. Then, amid shorts and laughter, tho jester, silent now, was bidden to rise and thank tho Duke for his clemency.

Mi- crusin, ITarvey Lewis, Lad said. tho evening before: "l.ittlo coz, I'm 'ur.ir.g totake you for adiivo to-morrow, i th. wrath.-r is fine." and tiio weather 1 i: g fine, we went. lb- was only my second cousin, but wo had always made a great deal of the rc !at;.;.:iship, and Le seemed more liko a hrot;. r thaii so distant a connection, '.'.ut on that day ho told mo how he loved n.o ani how I only could mako his lifo ha; t-y and would I he his wife? t At first I could not believe him; yet Nu.-eiy he could not bo in sport; and L, as usual, began to cry. Then, when ho tried to siueeze try hand, I drew it away, and sat, after I had recovered from mr first outburst, looking red, and tear ful arid abashed. 1 felt as though Cous sin Harvey, whom I loved very much, but not in that way, had really dono something very ru lo and unkind. To tell the truth, it was my first offer; an i I wanted some in-ire solicitations tml more fiirtinj.. V-fi.r. I ti",l mys.-lf down to any particular individual. To l.o an oi-1 lady it tight;-.::, fo-rsooth! Irde. 1, I was not going to do any such th-iTig; and I, who never kept a secret fii-m my mother, wisely concluded, in my new dignity, that I had better not m-ntion the matter perhaps Cousin II trvey would prefer that I should not. So I dn s- c i myself a.- usual and went low n to tho parlor wherv maumia sat at her work. 'It :r. to mo that your rid was unusually short.' s'r.e sai l, as I mercd.

Hut t.s I waa ep.'ctirg company no ether than the son of the wealthy hank Mr. l'oynter Smith I speedily donned my t.wectest smiles and my Eiost enchanting manner for his benefit. Hut Mr. l'oynter Smith, junior, Fpitc of 1-r-ing tctiU rized and barbi-rizeil t- the last d- irr.-o, was undeniably romr:on pl &" in appearance, and not loss co in conversation. His reiT.rks had never c.4ei:.e-l so tri'e and vapid. I was p-sl-ively ahau.i 1 of him: and "'hen h- .1 to !'o to the the-iicr vi: !- 1 iissisp-ron a certain eve-.uni: it v.as only the recollection of his great rumo. n-l great explication. that fiuailv" led mo to accept tiio invitation. '('ousin Harvey Lewis is a great deal InJ I lovo him dearly:" and 1 began to feel very miserable again: "t.ui i do not think I could marry my cousin: and, besides, just think of Poyn f r Smith's wealth! Any girl would bo jlad to get l'oynter Smitn. or Harvey Iaw is either!" and my mind reverted to several of my friends who wero always raving about him. Nearly a week passed, and Cousin IIr.rv y, who Twer absented himself mo-c than two days at a timo, had nut mado his appearance, and, worst tif all. he was at tho theater the night boforo with that horrid litile Bessie Baker and her brother. I was so angry fhat I could havo torn hf-r eyes out, but I pretended to bo per fectly fascinated with Poynter. 1 wanted Harvey to seo me, but I was not sure lV,it. l.eid. Sovorr.1 t'tnos T detected him looking in that direction, where upon I instantly became absorbed in l'oynter. Coming out wo wero just a little in advance of them. I managed ifc so, and I was in the gs vest spirits, quite convulsed with laughter, in fact, and clinging to l'ovnter's arm as though I loved him dearly instead of utterly de spising him. We had received invitations to a party for tho next evening. I would not have stayed at homo for worlds, though I had nearly cried my eyes out, add had a violent headache in consequence. On 6uch occasions Harvey had al ways been my escort; but, of course, ho would take some ono else now, and l'oynter had asked me. I had always run down to exhibit myself to Harvey before tho final wrapping up, but I could not do so for l'oynter, and was as sulky as sulky could be when I presented my self. What did I care for his old richos? I never would marry him, and he might as well find it out first as last. So, when ho remarked on tho beauty of the nicht, as we proceeded in the carriage, I de-clared that it was the coldest, blackest and most wretched night of tho season. An answer so full and exhaustivo ad mitted of no reply, and there was a si lence of several minutes. Mr. Lewis was probably not to bo present at the party, as ho was general ly my escort, was tho next remark. I was sure I did not know whether ho was to to present or not! I was not kept informed of all my cousin's move ments. A silence somewhat longer than be fore; but Mr. Smith was not to l.o thwarted. Ho had set out with the do terrcination to lc agreeable, and slight obstacles should not discourago him. "Mr. 'Lewis appears to bo ory at tentive to Miss Baker lately," ho said. "They were riding in tho park on Tues day, I noticed.' Such a pang shot through me! I had not tho heart to lc cross, fao I merely said: Indeed." and 'coughed, and laughed, and choked, and swallowed, to keep back a burst of grief. Of cu'krsv' thv firat ici-soa I fcaw ori entering the room was Cousin Harvey, with Bessie Baker upon his arm; but I affected the must svpremo devotion to Poynw-r and utterly ignored Harvey's presence. I was perfectly wild that itig-U dancing, Cirting and laughing as thouirh I never had a care, iua-n. uch as I heard a gentleman remark to another: "I thit.k Miss Lewis is the most 1 ight heartel err aluro I ever saw. What a sunbeam sho must be at home." After awhile Harvey and 1 met face to face, and ho said ' Good evening" with a careless stnllo and turned to his. part ner. So the winter months passed and Poyntc-r was usually my cavalier, though now that Harvey's attentions had ceased, other gentlemen began to mako ad vances. But none of them pleased me, and l'oynter disgusted me so that I could hardly treat him with necessary civil ity. In fact, I was often excessively rudo to Mm, which had an effect tho reverse- of that desired, and his visits and attentions increased every day. Harvey, in the meantlui"-, was as at tentivo as possible t Miss Baker, and it was soon reported that they were en gaged; and own I wos compelled to be lieve it when she di-mlay.-d an engage ment ring. llarv y hr.d rot been to tho houco since tiiat last day. over t'ureo months ago, and n-.w mamma and papa did not nioution him. I tc-vir told them the Causo of our quarrel, and they soon ceased to question rro, thoutrh I could not help suspecting that they knew. At last, one day, l'oynter Smith asked me, in a stupid, blundering sort of way, if I would ho his wife; whereupon 1 in formed him, in a manner sufiiciently positive, that I most assuredly would net. His surprise was immense, and he seemed to think I must havo made a mistake; wanted to know if I really meant it, and said that I should havo every thing- I wanted. But tho more ho insisted tho mero Ol.iphatic I be came, and ho at length took H ave, saying that if I should char.go my mind I must let him know. As soe.n as ho was gone I told mamma all about it; and tin n she drew from me ho story, told with many tears, of liar- voy "a declaration, and howl spurned it, I p-nd how miserable I had been ever j since- and now ho was engaged to some- I body else, and I would never marry I anybody.
