BEBEE;
TWO LITTLE WOODEN SHOES
Bj tUIDA.'
CHAPTER XX1L
One day In tbe May weather she sat within
dour with a great book upon her table, but
no tight for It In her aching ejes. The star
ling bopped te and fro en the sunny fleer;
the bees boomed In the perch; tee tinkle of
sheep's bell carqe In en the stillness. All waa
peaceful and happjr except the little weary,
breaking, desolate heart that beat In her like
a caged bird's.
"tie will comer! am sure he will come,"
the tald te herself; but ahe waa te tired, and
it waa ae long eh, dear Ged! se very long.
A hand tapped at the lattice. The thrill
volee of llclne, the sabot maker's wife, broken
with anguish, called through the hanging
Ivy:
' ' Bebee, you are a wicked one, tbey aay, but
the only one there b at home In the village
this day Get you te town for the love of
heaven, and tend Dr. Max hither, for my
pet, my flower, my child Ilea dylug. and net
a foul near, and the black aa a (Sen! with
choking go, go, gel and Mary will forgive
you your sins. Save the little one, dear Bebee,
de you hear? and I will pray Ged and.'spcak
fair the ncighliera for you. Geln
Debee rose up, startled by the new unfa
miliar sound of n human voice, and looked at
the breathless mother with eyes of pitying
wonder.
"Surely I will go," she sold, gently; "but
there is no need te bribe me. 1 nave net
sinned greatly that 1 knew."
Then the went out quickly and ran through
the lane nnd Inte the city for the sick child,
and found the wise man, and sent him, and
did the errand rnthur In a tort of sorrowful,
sympathetic instinct than In any reasoning
consciousness of doing geed.
When she was moving through the once
familiar ami happy ways, as the sun was set
ting en tbe golden fronts of tbe old houses
and the chimes were ringing from the many
toner, a strange reuse of unreality, of non
existence, fell ukih her.
Could it In she she, indeed, who bad gene
there the your before the gladdest thing that
the wirt h bore, n itb ue care except te shelter
her flowers from the wind and keep the fresh
est hlofeems for the burgomaster's beiuwifel
Bhedid net think thus te herself, but n
vague doubt that she could ever have been
the little, gay, laborious, happy Debee, with
troops of friends nnd endless joys for every
day that dawned, cams ever her as she went
by tbe black front of the Broedbuls.
The strong volee of Lisa, the fruit girl,
jarred en her as she passed the stall under Iti
yellow awning that was flapping sullenly In
the evening wind.
"Ob, he, little foell" the mocking voice
cried. "Tbe rind of the fine pine is full of
pickles and stings the lips when the taste b
gene, te be sure. Crack common nuts like
me and you are never wanting lintels grew
free In every cepse. Prut, tutl Your grand
lever lies a-dying se the students read out of
this Just new and you such a simpleton aj
net te gut a roll of noeleons out of him be bo be
fere be went te ret in Puris. I dare say b
was peer as sparrows, If ene knew tbe truth.
He was only n painter after alL"
Lisa tossed her as she spoke a tern sheet, in
which she vv as wrapping gentians; It was a
piece of' Vspaper some tbree weeks old, and
in it therV A3 a single line or se which said
that the artist Flatncn, whose "Gretchcu"
was tbe wonder of the Salen of tbe year, lay
sick unto death in his rooms in Pari.
Brbcu steed and read; the strong, ruddy
western light upon the type, the taunting
laughter of the fruit girl en her ear.
A bitter shriek mug from her that made
even the cruelty of Lisa's mirth step in a
sudden terror.
She steed startrg, like a thing changed te
stone, down en the eue name that te her
filled all the universe.
"Ill 'he Lt 111 de you bearPsbe echoed
piteeusly, looking at Lisa; "and you say be
is peer J"
"Peer! for surel Is he net a painter I" sold
the fruit girl, roughly. Bhe judged by her
own penniless stedent lads; and she was nn nn
gered with herself for feeling sorry for Ms
little silly thing that she had loved te terture.
"Yeu have been bad and huse te me, but
new 1 blew you, 1 leve you, I will pray for
you," said Debee, In a swift, broken breath,
and nit ha leek upon hcrface that startled
Inte pain her callous enemy.
Then without another word, the thrust the
Caper iu bcr besom, and ran out of the square
rratliless with hoste and with a great ro re ro
selro. He was ill and he was peer I The brave
little soul of bcr leaped at ence te action. He
was sick, and far an ay, and peer, they said.
All danger unci all dlfllculty faded te nothing
befere the vUlen of his need.
Debco was only a little foundling who ran
about In wooden shoes; but she had the
"deg's beul" in her the soul that will fellow
faithfully though te recelve a curse, that
will defend loyally te meet a blew, and that
will die mutely loving te the last.
Bhe ncnt home, hew the never knew; and
nltheut the delay of a moment packed up a
change of llncu, and fed the fowls and took
the key of tbe hut down te old Jebnn's cabin.
The old man was only half witted by reason
of his nlllictien for his dtad daughter, but he
Husbhrend enough te undentaud what the
wanted of bun, and honest enough te de It
"I mu going Inte the city," she told te him;
"and if 1 am net back te-night, will jeu feed
the starling and tbe hens, and water the
flowers for me I"
Old Jelian put his head out of Ids lattice; It
was 7 In the evening, and ha was going tc
bed.
"What ero you after, little onel" he asked;
"going te show the flae buckles at a student'!
ball! Kay, fie that Is net like you."
"1 am going te pray dear Jeban," the
answered, with a sob In her threat, and the
first falsehood she had ever told. "De what
I nsk jeu de, for your dead daughter's cake
or tbe birds and the flowers will dia of
hunger and thli-tt. Take the Ley and prom prem
lsu ma"
He took tbe ksy mid preinUed.
"De net let tticui tcetbeMi buckles thine;
they will rob you," he added.
Debco ran from htm fast; every moment
that waa lest was te precious 11&I se terrible.
Te pausea second for fear's take never oc
curred te her. Bhe went forth as fearlessly
as a young swallow, born In northern April
dajs, flies forth en instinct te new lands and
ever unknown seas whn autumn falls.
Necessity nnd action breathed new life Inte
bcr The hardy aud brave pensunt naysel

tba Iren ways. Bhv bad never been there
before, but she knew It was by that great
highway that the traffic te Paris waa carried
en. and she knew that It would carry people
also at well.
There were bells clanging, lights flashing,
and crowd pushing and shouting as she ran
upa llttln gray figure, with th lantern
spark glimmering Ilka any tiny glow worm
astray In a gat lit city
"Te Parler the asked, entreatingly, going
where tha saw ethers going, te a little grated
wicket In a wall
"Twentj-eveu franca quick I" they de
manded of her.
Bebee gave a great cry, and steed still,
trembling and trying net te nub aloud, She
hail never thought of money, she bad forgot
ten that youth and strength and love aud
willing feet and piteous pruyen-all went for
nothing as this world Is made,
A hope Dashed en her, and a glad thought.
She loosed the silver buckle and held them
out
"Would you take thesel They are worth
much mere."
Tlieie was a derisive laughter, some ene
bade her with an oath begene; rough ahoul aheul
durs jebtled her away She stretched her
arms out plteeusly.
"Take me eh, pray take met 1 will go
with the strap, with the cattle only, only

Hut In the rush nnd rear none healed her;
reuie thief snatched the silver buckles from
her hand, and made off with tbem and was
lest in the throng; a great Iren beast rushed
by her, snorting flame, nnd bellowing smoke;
there was a mil like thunder, ami all was
dark, the nlgbt express bad passed en Its way
te Paris.
Detice steed still, crushed for a moment
with the notse and the cruelty and the sense
of absolute desolation, the scarcely noticed
that the buckles had burn stolen; she had
only ene thought te get te Paris.
"Can I never go without mencyf" tbe
asked at the wicket; the man tbere glanced a
memeut, with a touch of pity, at the little
wistful fnre.
"The least Is twenty francs surely you
must knew thatr he said, and shut his grat
ing with a clang.
Debco turned away and went out of tba
great, cruel, tumultuous place; her heart
ached anl ber brain was giddy, but the sturdy
courage of her nature rese te need.
"Theie U no wny fit all te go without
money te Paris, I suppose P she asked of an
old woman whom she knew a little, who sold
nuts and little pictures of taints nnd wooden
playthings under the trees in the avenue hard
by
The old woman shook her head.
"Kbl no, dear There 1 nothing te be
dene anywhere in the world without money.
Loek, I cannot get a litre of nuts te sell un
less I lay beforehand."
"Would it be far te walkl"
" IPeufii it be far te walkl"
"Farl Hely Jcsusl it Is right away In the

"And he walked into Parlsf"
"Yea, ten years age. He had nothing but
a few sous and an asb stick, and he had a
fancy te try hU luck there. And of ter all
our feet were given us te travel with. If
you go tbere and you see him, tell him te
send me something 1 am tired of telling
nuts."
Debco tnld nothing, but went en her read,
since there was no ether way but te walk the
would take that way; the dlstance and the
hardship did net npl two little feet that
were used te traverse te raeny miles of tun
baked summer dust and of frozen winter mud
unblcnchlngly year after year
The time it would take made ber heart sink,
indeed. He was 11L Ged knew what might
happen. Dut neither the length of leagues
nor the fatigue of Ixxly daunted her. Bhe
only taw his eyes dim with puiu and hit lips

She would walk twenty miles a day, and
then, jicrhaps, the might git lifts here and
tbere en hay wagons or In peddlers' carts;
people had always used te be kind te her.
An bow the counted the might reach Paris
well In fifteen days.
She Kit under a thrlne In a by street a mo

buckles that she might have told te get

Bbe had some twenty reus sod a dozen
eggs; tbe thought the might llvoen that; the
had wanted te take the eggs te him, but after
all, te keep life iu her until the could reach
Paris was the one great thing.
"What a blessing lt Is te have been born
peer; and te have lived hardily ene wants
te little I" she jheugbt te hcrtclf.
Then she put up the, sous In the linen broom

prayed a moment, with the het agonized tears
rolling down her tare, and then row and
stepped out bravely In the cool of tbe nlgbt,
ou tbe great southwest read toward Paris.
tier way lay out through the forest, aud In
that sweet green woodland she was net afraid
no mere afraid than tbe fawns were.
At Doittferd the thruuk a tittle, indeed.
Here there were the eien air restaurants,
and the cafe gardens all alight for the
pleasure seekers from the city, here there
were musle and laughter, and horses with
brass bells, and bright colors en high In the
woolen balconies, and below among the
blofwiemlng hawthorn hedges. She had te go
through It all, and the shuddered a little as
the ran, thinking of that one priceless, death
leu foreet day when be had kliKed her first.
Dut the pleateirs people were all busied
with their mirth and mischief, and took no
noticeof the little gray figure In the starry
night. She went en along the grassy reads,
under tee high arching trees, with the beet
of the owls and the cry of the rabbits en the
stilluetis.
At Grecnenilacl, In the heart of the forest,
midnight was striking as the entered the vil
la ga Kvery ene was asleep The lights were
nil out. The old ruined priory frowned dark
under the clouds.
She shivered a little again, and began te
feel cblU and tired, yet did net dare te knock
at any one of the elated house doers the bad

Be the walked en her first ten unknown
miles, meeting a few people only, and being
altogether unmolested a small gray figure,
trotting in two little wooden heea,
Tbey thought her a puuaut going te a falr

The barsa ran across tba path, and tba blua

gloom of plnewoed, aad sparkling verdure of
esn and elm. There were distant church

of sunshine streaming.
Bba often felt tired, and ber wooden shoes

Dut aba went en bravely, rarely doing lea

nere a new, strange, terrible, Incompre
hensible obstacle opposed ber; she bad no
papers; they thrust ber back and
spoke te ber as If tba ware a
criminal She could net understand what
they could mean, Bhe had never beard of
these laws and rules. She vaguely compre
hended that she must net enter France, and
stunned and heart broken, she dropped down
under a tree, and for the first time sobbed as
It ber very life would weep Itself away.
She could tee nothing, understand nothing.
There were the same read, the same hedges,
the seme", fields, the same white cottages,
and peasants In blue shirts and dun hued
oxen In the wagons. Bhe saw no mark, no
difference, ere tbey told ber where she steed
was Delglum, and where they steed waa
France, and that she must net psss from one
Inte tbe ether.
The men took no notice of ber. Tbey went
back into the guard house, and smoked and
drank. A cat sunned herself under a scarlet
bean. The white clouds tailed en before a
southerly tky. Bhe might die here be there
end nothing seemed te care.
After awhile an old hawker came up; no
was traveling with wooden clocks from the
Black Ferest, He stepped and looked at nor,
and asked her what she ailed.
Bbe knelt down at bis feet In the dust
"Oh. help mel" she cried te hlra. "Oh,
pray, help met I have walked all the way
from Brussels that Is ray country, and new
they will net let me pass that house where
the soldiers are. They say I have no papers.
What papers should I have I I de net knew.
When ene bes done no harm, and does 'net
ewe a seu anywhere, and has walked all the
way Is It money that they wantl 1 have
none; and they stele my silver clasps In
Drusnels; and If 1 de net get te Paris I must
die die without seeing him again ever
again, dear Gedl"
She dropped ber head upon tbe dust and
crouched and sobbed tbere, her ceurage
broken by this new barrier that the had
never dreamed would have come between
herself anil Paris.
The old hawker looked at ber thoughtfully.
He had scu much of men and women, and
knew truth from counterfeit, and he was
moved by the child's agony.
He steeped and whispered In her cart
"Get up quick, and 1 will pass you. It is
against the law, and I may go te prison for
it Never mind; one must risk something In
this world, or else be a cur. My daughter
has stayed behind in Mar bats sweetheart lug;
her name is en my passport, and ber age and

soul I whatever your wee is it Is real enough,
and you are such a young and pretty thing.
Oet up, the guards are In their beuse, they
havonet seen; fellow me, and you must net
speak a word; they mast take you for a Ger
man, dumb as weed."
She get up and obeyed bun, net compre
hending, but only vaguely seeing that be was
friendly te her, and would pats her ever Inte
Franca
The old man made a little comedy at the
ban ier, and scolded bcr as though she were
bU daughter for losing her wny as she came
te meet him, and then crying like a baby.
The guards looked at her carelessly, Joked
the hawker en bcr pretty face, looked tbe
papers ever, and let her through, bcllevlng
her the child of tbe cleckinakcr of tbe Hart a
Some lies are blessed as ti uth.
"I have done wrong In the law, but net be be bo

"Nay, de net tbauk me, or goon like that;

But Debco would net tell him her story;
she was confused and dazed still She did
net knew rightly what bail happened te bcr,
but she could net talk of herself, nor of why
the truvclud thus te Paris.
Tbe old hawker get cress at her sllctice and
railed her an unthankful jade, and wiebed be
bad left ber te ber fate, and parted ceinny
with her at two crew reads, saying his path
did net lie with hers, and then, when he had
done that, was sorry, aud being a tender
hearted tout, hobbled back and would fain
press a five frana piece en bcr; and Debeo,
refusing It all tbe while, k 10,1 his old brown
bands and blet&ud him, and broke away from
him, and se went en again solitary toward
St Quentin.
The country was very flat and peer, and
yet the plains had a likeness In them te ber
own wide Brabant downs, where tbe tall
green wheat was blowing and the barges
dropping down the sluggish stream.

Bhe was very footsore; very weary; vcrj

tense of that nearness te him.
After all Ged was te geed 'te her; thcre
were flue bright days and nights; a few
showers bail fallen, but merely passing ones;
tbe air was se cool and se tjaliny that It served
her almost as feed; and tbe seldom found
people se unkind that they refused for ber
single little seu te give ber a crust of bread
and let her lie In an outhouse.
After all Ged was very geed; and by the
sixteenth or seventeenth day the would be in
the city of Paris.
She was a Uttle light beaded at times from

Bhe was very dusty and Jaded. Her woolen

tbe fifteenth day from the night when she had
left ber hut by the swans' water Debee saw
Paris.
Shining away In the sun 1 white and geld,
among weeds and gardens she saw Paris.
She was se tlred-eh. se tired-but tba
could net rest new, There were belt ringing
always In her ears, and a heavy pain always
in her head. Dut what of thatf-she waa se
near te him.
"Are you Ul, you little thlngrn woman

In the outskirts of the great city
Debee looked at her and smiled! "I de net

And the went onward.
It was evening The sun had set Bhe had

The click-clack of her wooden tbem en tha
het pavements made none leek up. little rus

their fortunes Iu Paris. Seme grew Inte
golden painted tilken flowers, IheconveUull
of their brief tummer days, and some drifted
Inte the Bciiie water, rusted, wind lewcil
fallen leaves that were wan toil of no man.
Anyhow, It was te common te see them,
pretty but homely things, with their noisy
shoes and their little all In a bundle, that
no one even looked once at Debee,
Bbe was net bewildered. As the bad geue
through ber own city, only thinking of the
rose in her basket and of old Annemle In her
garret, te she went through Paris, only
thinking of him for whose sake she had come
thither.
New that she was really in his home she
was happy; happy though her head ached
with that dull odd pain, and all the sunny
glare went round and round like a great
gilded bumming top, such as the babies
tiapped their hands at at the Kertmws).
She was happy; she felt sunt new that Ged
would net let bim die till she get te bim. Bbe
was quite glad that he hail left her all that
long, terrible winter, for she bad learned te
much and was se much mere fitted te be wltb
hlra. "
Weary as the was, and ttrange as tbe pain
In her head made ber feel, the was happy,
very happy; a warm (lush came en her little
pale cheeks as she thought hew toen he would
kiss them, her whole body thrilled with tbe
old sweet nameless Jey that the had sickened
for in vain se long.
Though she taw nothing else that was
around her, she taw seme little knots of mess

said aves of praUe. Ged was te geed.
It wasquite idght when she reached the
street and sought the number of his heuse,
She speke his name softly, aud trembling
very much with Jey, uet with nny fear, but
It teemed te bcr tee sacred a thlug ever te
utter aloud.
An old man looked out of a den by the
deer, and told her te go ttrnight up the stairs
te the third fleer, und then turn te tbe right
Tbe old man chuckled as he glanced after
her, and listened te tbe wooden tlieia letter
ing wearily up the bread slone ttcps.
Debee climbed them ten, twenty, thirty,
forty, "no must be very poerl" the thought,
"te live te high," and yet tbe pface w as w Ida
and handsome, und hed a leek of riches. Her
heart bunt te fast, the felt suffocated; her

"He will be glad eh, 1 nm suie he will 1

carried te bim. "And if Ged w 111 only let

nis name was written en n deer liefei e her.
Thohaudleot a bell hung down, tliepulktl
ft timidly. The deer uncleu-d, tbe taw no
ene, and went through. Tbere were low
lights burning. Thcre were heavy scents
that were ttrange te her. Thcre w as a f an
taMia gloom from old urmer, and old wcojieus,
and old pictuieiin the dull licb chambers.
The teund of ber wooden shoes was lest in the
sef tneu and thickness of the carols.
It was net Iho home of u peer man. A
great terror froze her heart if the wtrouet
wanted here!
She went quickly tbieugh tbice rooms, see
ing no eue, and at the md of tha third tbere
were folding doers.
"It is I-Delx-e," she said softly, as tha
puMmd thun gently nart; and the held out
the two mom rnvebud?.
Then the words died en her litis, and a
great horror trote her, still nnd tilent, tlieie.
She taw the iliiky room asm iiilnam.
Bhe taw bim ttrttthed 011 tbe lcd, leaning en
his elbow, laughing nnd playing cards upon
the lace ceurtst Bhe taw- women with
leutc, tlilulng hair and baie limits, and rubles
and diamonds glimmering red and nhile.
She taw men lying about upon tbe couch,
threw big dice and drinking and laughing
with one another.
Reyend ull tbe taw ngaliut the pillows of

And above it all there nere odors of wines

She Meed litis n f re111 creature and taw

piercing cry the let the iWs fall, and turned

Frem Its brink seme man's strength caught

"tot me did let me diel-1 she shrieked te
bun, and strained from him te get at tha
cool gray tilent water that waited for her
there.
Then sbe lest all consciousness and saw the
stars no mere.
When she came back te any tease of life,
the stars were shining still, and tha face of
Jeannet was bending ever ber, wet with
tear.
He had followed her te Paris when they
had misted her first, aad htd come straight
by train te the city, making sure It was
thither the had come, nnd thcre bad sought
bcr many days, watching for her by the house
of Flamcn.
She shuddered away from htm as he betd
her, and looked at him with blank, tcarles
eyes,
" De net touch me I Take me home, "
That was all she ever said te him. Bha
never asked lilm or told him anything. Bhe
nover noticed that It was ttrange that he
should have been here upon the river batik.
Ue let her lx, and took her silently In thu
cool night back by the Iren ways te Drabant
CHAPTER XSIV.
She sat quite still and upright In the wagon,
wltb tha dark lands rushing by ber. She
sever tpoke at all She had a leek that
frightened him upon her face. When he
tried te touch her hand the shivered away
from him.
The charcoal burner, hardy ami strong
anion" forest reared men, cowered like a
child In a corner and covered his eyes and
wept
80 the night were away,
Bhe had co perception of anything thai
happened te Iter unltl the was led through
her own little garden In the early day, and
her starling cried te hoi- "Ikmjeur, Den jour I'
Even then the only looked about ber In n be
wildered way, and nevcr tpoke.
Were the tlxtecn diys a dreamt
Bhe did uet knew.
Th women whom Jeannet summoned, hli
methtir and titters, mid Mere Krrtn, and ent
er two otiiers, weeping for what had becu tin
hardness of tbctr hearts against her, un
dressed her, and laid her down en her little
bed, and opened the shutters te U10 radiance
of the sun.
She let them de as they liked, only the
seemed neither te hear nor speak, and she
never spoke.
All that Jeannet could tell was that he had
found her in Paris, and had saved her from
the river.
The women were sorrowful, and re
proached themselves. Perhaps the had dene
wrong, but they had been harsh, nnd the was
te young.
The two little sabots with the holes worn
through the soles touched them, and tbey
blamed tbemtclves for having shut their
hearts and their doers against her as they
tnw the fixed blue eyes, without uny- light In
them, and the pretty mouth closed close
against either teb or smile.
After all show-as Dcboe the little bright
blithe thing that hail danced with their chil
dren, and sung te their Ringing, and brought
them always the first reues of the year. If
she bad been led astray they should have
been gentler with her.
Be they told themselves nnd each ether.
What bail sbe teen hi that terrible Paris te
change ber like thlst they could nut tell
Sbe never speka
The cock crewed gay ly te the sun. The lamb
bleated In the meadow. The bees boomed
r.meng the pear tree blossoms. The gray
lavender blew In the open hotire deer. The
green leaves threw shifting tliadewt en the
fleer.
All things were just the same as they bad
been the year before, when she had weke te
the joy of being a girl of 10,
Dut Debee new lay quite still and tltsnt en
her little bed, as quiet as the waxen Gesu
that they laid In tha manger at the Nativity.
"If she would only speak I" tli6 women and
the children wailed, weeping sorely.
Dut she never tioke; nor did the seem te
knew any ene of them. Net even the star
ling, as he flew en her pillow nnd called her,
"Give her rest," they all said; and ene by
0110 moved away, being peer folk nnd hard
working, and unable te lase a wbole day.
Mere Krcbs stayed with her, and Jeannet
tat in the Krch where her little spinning
w heel steed, nnd rocked himself te and fro;
In vnin agony, (lewerlctss.
He had dene all he could, and It was of no
avail
Then pcople who had loved her, hearing,
came up the green lanes from the city the
cobbler and the tinman, and the old woman
who told saints' pictures by the Droedhuis.
The Varnbart children hung about the gar
den wicket, frightened and sobbing. Old
Jclinu beathls knees with his hands, and said
only ever and ever o.gnlur,"Auether dead
nnetbcssileadl tbe red mill audi tee them
all deadl" ,
The long golden day 'drifted away, and the
swans twuycd te and fro, and the willows
grew silver In the sunshine,
Bobeo, etdy, lay quite ttlU nnd nevcr tpoke.
Tbe starling sat abeve her heed; his wings
drooped and he was silent tee.
Towards tuntet Debco raised herself and
called aleud: they ran te her.
"(Jet me a rosebud eue with tbe most
round it," the told te them.
They went out into tbe garden and brought
her ene wet with dew.
Sbe kissed It and laid It In ene of her little
wooden shoes that ttoed Uxm the bed.
She kissed it and laid it in one of htr
Uttle icoeden iltee:
"Send them te him," ihe tald wearily;
"tell bim I walked all the way."
Then her head dropped; then momentary
consciousness died out, the old dull, llfelcti
leek crept ever her face again likolhethadew
of death.
The starling spread his bread black wings
above her hcail She lay quite Hill eiica
mere, The women left the rosebud In tha
wooden shoe, net knew lug what the meant
Night fell Meie Krelrt watched bctlde
bcr. Jcaunet went down te the old church
te beseech Heaven with all his tlmple, igno
rant, tortured tout The villagers hovered
about, talking In low, tud voices, and won
dering, and dropping ene by eue Inte their
homes. They were terry, very sorry; but
what could they del
It was quite night The HghU were put
out in the Una. Jeannet, with Father Fran
cis, prayed befere tbe thrine of the Heven
Sorrows. Mere Krebs slumbered iu bcr rush
bottomed chair; tbe was old and worked
hard. The starling was awake.
Debee rose In her bed and looked around, as
the hed dene when the asked for the met!
rosebud.
A tense of unutterable universal pain ached
ever all ber body.
Clie did uet tee bcr little borne, IU four
whlte walls, IU latttce shining in the moon,
IU wooden bowls and plates, IU oaken tbcll
and presses, IU plalu familiar things that once
had been se dear tbe did net tee them tin
only taw tbe brown woman with her arm
about his threat
She tat up In her bed and slipped ber feet en
te the fleer; tbe pretty little rosy feet that b
had used te want te clotbe in silken stockings,
Peer Uttle feet I the felt a curious ceinpas-
1I011 for them; tbey had served her se well,
and they were te tired. . ,
Bbe tat up a moment with that curious dull
aceny. aching every where In body and In
brain. Bbe tlwcd the rewbud once inore and
I4U it gently down, in, JJie wpcdenjhQft Bbj

Bbe felt a great dullness lhAt cloned in en hcr
a great weight that was like Iren en ber head
She thought she was hi the ttrange, noisy,
cruel city, with the river close te her, and ad
bcr dead dream drifting down it Ilea mur
dered children, whltit that woman kissed him.
Sbe slipped her feet 011 te the fleer, and roe
and steed upright Them was a deer open tc
the moonlight the deer where the had sal
spinning and singing In a thousand happj
days; the la vender blew; the tall, unbuddrd
green Hike swayed In the wind; she looked al
them and knew none of them.
The night air drifted through her lines
dress, and played en her bare arms ami ltttnl
the curls of her hair; the same air that had
played with her te many tlmea out of mind
when she bad been a little tottering thing that
mearured iu height by the red rosebush. Bui
it brought her no sense of where the was.
All sbe taw was the woman who klsseJ
him.
There was the water beyond ; the klndli
calm water, all green with the mess nnd tbt
ncsU of the ouzels and Iho heughs of tbi
barcU and willows, where thu swan wen
asleep In the reeds, and the bread lilies spread
wide and cool
Hut she did net see any memory In It- Bhe
thought It was the cruel gray river In tha
ttrange white city: and she cried te Iti and
went out Inte the old famtlar ways, and knew
nene of them; and ran feebly yet fleetly
through the bushes and flowers, looking up
ence at the stars with a helpless Broken blind
leek, llke n thing that Is dying.
"He docs net want meP she said te them,
"lie does net want me ether women kiss
him thcrel"
Then with a low fluttering sound like a
bird's when IU wings are shot, and yet It
trie te rise, the hovered a moment ever the
water, and stretched her arms out te It
"He does net want meln she murmured;
"he does net want me and I am se tired,
Dear Gedl"
Than she crept down, as a weary child
creeps te IU mother, and threw herself for
ward, and let the green dark waters take bcr
w here they hadTtmnd her amidst the UUea, a
little luughlng yearling thing.
There the toen lay, quite quiet, with ber
face turned te the stars, ami the ttarling
iled nlwve te watch her as the slept
Bhe had been only Dcliee the ways of Ged
and nmn had leen tee hard for her.
When thu tucRiCUgers of l:lamen came that
day, they took him back n dead mess msennd

with walking.
"One crrature loved me once," he tnys te
