THE PITTSBURG- DISPATCH, SATURDAY, MARCH 15, 1890.
10
flinging himself on his knees at her feet,
implore her to give him her daughter's hand.
But of course such an extraordinary pro
ceeding was quite out of the question. Con
Tentional usage, born ot modesty, dictated
that the principal should sit quietly at
home, while a trusted family friend con
veved the weighty petition to the beloved
object' mother. Alphocse had never
heard that there are cases on record in
which a young Englishman has taken upon
him to address the girl ol his choice herself
without ever consulting the parents
on either bide at all; and if he
had. he would not have believed it even
of Britons. The idea of doing such a
thing never crossed his mind.
'You have, 1 hope, made a good break
fast?' he said to M. Jules as his friend drew
the napkin from his collar with a sigh of
content.
'Excellent; I thank you,' replied JL
Bernier. 'With your permission, I will
light a cigarette, and you can inform me
regarding your pecuniary position, that I
bit explain it to Madame Mesnildot.
Keeping caretully in mind that he had
taken his lather's" consent for granted,
Alphonse instructed his friend to say that
his allowance when he married would be
12,000 francs per annum, and that he ex
pected to inherit not less than half million
of francs at his parent's death. He
had nothing else to sav, except that
a life's devotion would be Mademoiselle
Adrieune's, and he should be glad
to learn whether her dot was
not to be 110,000 francs, and the furnished
house on the lioulevata oaucnoise.
M. Jules Bernier elevated his expressive
evebrowsashe heard this. 'One hundred
and fiftv thousand francs and that beautiful
house burnished, parbleu! on the boule
vard is much toexpect, Alphonse, my friend,"
he said.
'Nevertheless, you will say that, if you
please,' replied Alphonse. It was a matter
of business, and Alphonse was no child.
'As you wish, answered M. Bernier with
a shrug, as he rose from his chair and ad
justed his cravat at the mirror. It is now
1:30 o'clock. I will go to Madame Mes
nildot's, and return direct to you here, at
perhaps 3 o'clock.'
"I ill await you in the salon, said Al
phonse with dignity, and he followed his
iriend to the door.
"We need not dwell upon the suspense of
M. Alphonse Thevinet, or upon the eager
ness with which he received his ambassador
when he reappeared two hours later.
'You were long gone," he said breathless
ly 'But do not delay; tell me Madame
Mesnildot's reply.'
'Her reply,' answered M. Bernier, with
the smile of "one who loves to bring good
news, 'is, Yes. She assured me that Made
moiselle would be overwhelmed with grati
tude for her good fortune, and that her dot
would not be less than 100,000f.'
'And the furnished house?' queried Al
phonse. 'Madame said nothing of the house,' an
swered M. Bernier, M. Bernier had done
this kind of office be ore, and knew better
than to drive bargains at the first interview.
A cloud gathered upon the brow of Al
phonse. He had persuaded himself that M.
and Madame Mesnildot would have prom
ised all be chose to ask, and he had de
manded thus much, that he might make as
surance doubly sure when he came to re
quest his father's permission to marry Made
moiselle Adrienne. He was disappointed.
'A hundred thousand is a small dot for
Monsieur Mesnildot to give his only daugh
ter,' be said.
'I wonld counsel you to let that side of
the matter remain for settlement between
Monsieur, your father and the
parents of Mademoiselle," replied M.
Bernier. 'When does Monsieur
Thevinet return to Rouen ?"
Alphonse could not tell for certain. He
was traveling in the country near Bordeaux,
and had no fixed address at present; but he
expected him to return at the end of the
month.
'Well, I will offer yon my congratula
tions, and take my leave for to-day,' said
M. Bernier. 'It has given me great pleas
ure to have had the honor of conveying
your message to Madame Mesnildot.'
Alphonse hastened to express his grati
tude lor the service his Iriend had done
him; the indebtedness, he said with sincer
ity, was all on his side. Without Jules, he
had been quite at a loss to address Madame
Mesnildot; thanks could not repay M.
Bernier for what he had that day per
formed. He kissed Jules upon both
cheeks as he bade him adieu,
and having seen him depart, threw
himself into a chair to dream of Mademoi
selle Adrienne.
Two weeks later, M. Georges Thevinet
returned home from his travels, and was re
ceived with effusion by son.
'I have news for thee, Alphonse,' said the
old gentleman as they entered the salon
arm-in-arm.
'And I for thee, also,' replied his son.
-But first of all, give me yours.'
M. Georges Thevinet beamed upon Al
phonse with paternal pride as he answered
in impressive tones: 'I have found for my
on a wife. I promised my friend Monsieur
Laguerre that you shall espouse his daugh
ter, Mademoiselle Clarisse.'
'Mademoiselle Clarissel' exclaimed Al
phonse. 'Sir, she is 40.
'She is but SS,' replied his father in cor
rection. 'She has a sqint,' said the son.
'She has 750.000 francs,' said the father,
fixing upon Alphonse a look in which affec
tion and cupidity were happily blended.
'It matters nothing, cried Alphonse; 'for
I love another.
'Eh! What's that?' inquired old M.
Thevinet, who was a little hard of hearing.
'But two weeks since, I received Madame
Mesnildot's sanction to marry Mademoiselle
Adrienne.'
'Then you must write and apol
ogise for vour mistake. I have
already told you that you are
affianced to Mademoiselle Clarisse La
guerre," replied M. Thevinet firmly.
Ueverl' cried Alphonse with a gesture ot
despair.
'But you are. I absolutely refuse to
sanction your marriage to any one else.
Mademoiselle Mesnildot will not receive
one-third mark me, boyl not one-third of
the dot with which Monsieur Laguerre will
endow his daughter.'
'I care nothing for the dot,' cried Al
phonse wildly. ('Thebovis mad!' muttered
M. Thevinet, senior.) 'I will marry no ouo
butAdricnne,A-dri-enne." And at this point
the -eelings ot Alphonse overcame him and
he sobbed.
Coercion, diplomacy and persuasion were
tried by M. Thevinet in turn with barren
results; and finally there ensued a quarrel
so violent that Alphonse packed up his
portmanteau and left the house.
'To think: of the boy's contracting a matri
monial engagement without a word to me 1'
said M. Thevinet to himself as he retired
that night. 'What on earth can have got
into his head? What is the world coming
to?'
'To think of my father giving away my
hand like thatl' said Alphonse as he strode
down the Boulevard. 'I might as well be a
Turkish slave at once!'
Fortunately, Alphonse had plenty of
money in his pocket, and he had soon in
stalled himself in pleasant lodgings in the
Boulevard Jeanne d'Arc 'It is indeed
luckv,' he said to himself as he unpacked
his clothes, that 1 am over -a vears ot age.
Were I but a few years younger, the course
I must pursue, repugnant as it is to my
filial leelings, would be closed to me.'
Alphonse bad already decided to take
such steps us would render his marriage
without his father's consent a legal union,
though he shrank fron the process, and
cha.ed at the delay it would entail. Had
he been under the age of 25, his lather's re
fusal would have bound him hopelessly, ac
cording to law. The proces-verbal is a legal
weapon denied young men below that 3ge.
But Alphonse, as we have already re
marked, was 28, and he knew the power the
law con erred upon him.
I wish I had been an Englishman.' he
said to M. Jules Bernier one evening a week
later at the cafe.
Why so?' asked M. Bernier.
'Could I not then marry Adrienne at once
without my father's consent?' asked Al
phonse. 'Certainly you might," replied M. Ber
nier. 'But were you an Englishmao you
would have other things to consider, my
friend. The lady might decline to marry
vou; and Monsieur your father might exer
cise the brutal privilege of an Englishman,
and "cut vou off with a shilling." No, no,
Alphonse"; he thankful that you are a citi
zen of the Republic'
But Alphouse did not feel thankful or
pretend to be so; he said in meaning tones:
'I yesterday took the first step.'
'You do not mean to s ay' . The rest
of M. Bernier's speech was spoken in an
awe-struck whisper.
Alphonse pressed his lips together and
answered: 'I did.'
It was true. On the morning of
the previous day a gentle
man " who pursued an honorable
calling analogous to that ot sheriff-officer,
had waited upon M. Georges Thevinet with
a document of portentous size in his hand,
and demanded audience of that gentleman
in the name of the law.
'What have you there?' M. Thevinet in
quired of this official as he produced his
paper.
'It is the proces-verbal, Monsieur. On be
half of your son, Monsieur Alphonse The
vinet, do you consent to his marriage with
Mademoiselle Adrienne Mesnildot?'
'Ho, I don't!" replied M. Thevinet with
much asperity.
The legal gentleman requested that he
might be furnished with a pen; and having
received it, wrote down M. Thevinet's an
swer with great care upon the document.
'I have the honor to bid you respectfully
adieu, Monsieur,' he said, as he rolled up
the paperand put it under his arm. 'Itwill
be my duty to call upon you once more
in i. month s time. 1 iear you will have
the trouble ot calling also a third time,'
slid M. Thevinet, forcing himselt to be
calm. 'Is it not so?'
The polite official shrugged his shoulders
in deprecation. 'If Monsieur did not give
his valued consent the second time the
proces verbal was presented," he said, 'doubt
less it would be the wish ot M. Alphonse to
have it presented two months hence for the
third time."
'And then?' inquired M. Thevinet, who
knew all about it, but was anxious for fuel
to feed his wrath.
'Why, then, if Monsieur withheld his
permission on being asked a third time, M.
Alphonse would be legally able to marry
without.' The polite official made a pro
found bow and hastily withdrew. M.
Thevinet's anger hadmastered him. and he
appeared about to vent it upon his visitor.
Had M. Thevinet been an Englishman
with an Englishman's power over his own
property, he would most inevitably have
seut for his solicitor and altered his will
that day. But he could not; a French
parent's estate is, irrespective of his wishes,
divided by the law among Ins children or
heirs at his demise; so M. Thevinet could
not enjoy the remote satisfaction. However,
he did the next best thing. He wrote to
Alphonse, and told him that until he re
turned to his roof, penitent and prepared to
marry Mademoiselle Laguerre, he should
give "him only the baiest pittance upon
which to exist.' If you think,' wrote the indig
nant father, 'thatMonsierand Madame Mes
nildot will accept a penniless suitor for their
daughter, the legal steps you have taken to
set the necessity lor obtaining my consent
aside, will have served their end. But I
doubt whether in your new position you will
receive the welcome which they accorded
your representative, M. Bernier. I should
advise you to think this over at your leis
ure.' When Alphonse received this letter, he
recognized the weakness of his case, and
proposed a compromise. If his father would
not call upon him to many Mademoiselle
Laguerre lor three ypars, he on his part
would renounce his intention of marrying
Mademoiselle Mesnildot. Would M. The
vinet receive his sorrowing son upon these
terms?
The language in which the
old gentleman indulged when his
son's answer reached him was
dread "ul to hear. He would agree to no
conditions whatever, and Alphouse might
take his choice Madamoiselle Clarisse, or
poverty in solitude until the end of his
lather's lifetime. He wrote at once direct
ing his son to choose, reminding him that
this was the sole favor he had ever as ted in
return for all he had done lor him. It was
a powerful and pathetic letter; the heart of
Alphonse was touched by it, and he gave
way. After a bitter struggle with self, he
made up his mind to obey his lather; lie sent
the sheriff-officer his fee, and directed him
not to serve the proces-verbal again; re
packed his portmanteau, and went home in
a cab.
How old M. Thevinet called upon Ma
dame Mesnildot and explained that M.
Jules Bernier's visit had been paid under a
misapprehension; and how Madame Mesnil
dot said she was lorry, but that it didu't
matter, because she had not mentioned
the subject to Adrienne yet, it boots not
to tell. We have only to conclude the his
tory of the wooing of Alphonse by the bare
statement that his father took him down to
Bordeaux a month afterward, stood over
him while he agreed to the promesse de
mariage which Monsieur le Kolaire had
prepared and saw him espouse Mademoiselle
Clarisse Laguerre at the bureau of Monsieur
le Maire. Mademoiselle Clarisse promises
to be a model wife iu all respects, and every
body is contented and happy.
K0 BALM L GILEAD.
The Wail of the Allegheny Comity Farmer
Not Loud, but Deep.
The farmers have plenty of water, but
some of them fear the distribution may
prove unequal, and that next summer may
be very dry. The blue birds are twittering
in situations where the plaguey English
sparrows will let them the notes of some
birds are heard daily in the woods and
copses, making one think he might have
made a mistake in his calculations, and
that St- Patrick's Day had passed and the
latter end of April instead of March was
here. The peach buds arc as dead as Adam,
and so are the buds of most flowering
shrubs, and there may be an absence of the
"flowers of May." Some farmers in the oil
districts who have not leased or a big bonus
are in despair. They have neglected their
farms on account of the oil excitement, and
expected during the winter to put their
teams at profitable work hauling oil well
supplies, but the roads have been impassa
ble, so they hate neither crops nor money.
Last season's big hay crop is almost
worthless, they say. Hay is so cheap and
the roads are so bad that they cannot even
make wages hauling the hay to market, and
they say it will not pay to bny stock and
feed it. It might, however, pay them to
feed their crops and enrich tlieir farms.
The return might not be immediate, but it
would come in time.
'Squire Handel tells of a farmer who
sent a load of produce to the city, and on
the way his w?gon broke down, and he did
not realize enough from tht'sale of his load
to pay for the repairing of the vehicle.

MARVELOUS SUCCESS.
The Great Work Performed for Mr.
Frederick Raetz.
HIS TESTIMONY GIVEN IN FULL
"Two years is a long time to suffer from
a trouble and not ue able to obtain a rem
edy to check its progress. That was my
case exactly," said Mr. Frederick Raetz.
"My trouble commenced with a cold at first,
caused by exposure at my work. Cold fol
lowed cold. My head ached constantly,
and my nose discharged a thin, acrid fluid.
"I remained iu this condition for some
time, then I noticed that the trouble was
extending through my whole system. My
eves were weak and watery. I could feel
the mucus dropping into my throat. There
were constant buzzing and roaring noises in
my ears.
Mr. Frederick Itaetz, US Spring Garden
Avenue, "
"I could not sleep at night. The muens
wonld fill up my throat, and I would have to
sjt un and hawk and raise in order to obtain
relief. Kight sweats set iu and weakened me
tern lily. Such nights as these left me entirely
unfit for work. I would arise in the morning
feeling nnrefreshed, in fact more tired than
when! went to bed. My throat was so inflamed
and sore thatl could not eat anything in the
mornings. I had no desire for lood; the very
sight ot it caused a nausea at ray stomach.
"Sharp pirns wonld shoot through my chest,
stabbing like a knife, often so severe as to
cause me to gasp for breath. There was a feel
ing in mvstomach asofaheavy weight pressing
down. My heart woold beat rapidly. The
palpitation wonld be followed by a slow, irreg
ular beating and a feeling of faintness. I grew
weaker and weaker. 'Hie. slightest exertion
would make me short of breath. When I
would stoop over and raiso up qnickly 1 would
become dizzv, and was often compelled to sit
down until this feeling nassed away.
"My body was racked with aches and pains,
and 1 despaired of ever getting well. I bad
read with interest of the wonderful success
Drs. Copeland & Blair were baving with cases
tun liar to mine, and decided there was the
place for me to go. I foundtheir charges lower
than the prices of patent medicine, and placed
myself nuder their care.
"Jly progress was truly marvelous, and I can
not say enongh in favor of their treatment.
My head is now clear, and no longer aches me.
The roaring in my ears, dropping in the throat
and pains in my chest haro all ceased to bother
me. 1 sleep well and can eat a liaarty break
fast. I am now feeling as well as I ever was,
and owo this change to Drs. Copeland 4
Blair."
Mr. Itaetz lives at No. 118 Spring Garden
avenue. Allegheny. He is employed as a glass
blower at the works of Messrs. J. T. & A.
Hamilton, Twenty-sixth and Railroad streets,
Pittsburg, and this statement can bo easily
verified.
HOME TREATMENT.
Mr. William Barnes, of Hickman, Pa., in
speaking of his catarrhal troub'.e, said: My
head was stopped up. My throat, chest and
lungs affected, and I had lost all sense of taste
and miil'11, when I was advised to try Drs. Cope
land & Blair. The result was a surprise to me.
1 ?ra now perfectly well, and owe my recovery
to their treatment.
Some time ago Mr. Harry Phillips, ot Hulton,
Allegheny county, Pa commenced a course of
home treatment for his catarrhal trouble, un
der the care of Drs. Copeland & Blair.
At that time his trouble bad assumed a very
aggravated form. He stated to the writer as
follows:
".My nostrils would clog up. My head ached
constantly. I had severe pains in my chest.
Theiewas a dropping of mucus from my head
to my throat. I had night sweats. My heart
would palpitate rapidly, and be followed by a
slow, irregular beating and feeling of faintness.
I was daily growing weaker. The slightest ex
ertion tired me and I was unfit for w ork."
"How do you feel now T"
"Like another being. All the symptoms I
have described to you have disappeared, and I
feel as well as I ever dm in my life."
