" Wetr; he is an old friend of !Ocir family, who
wa.s always very tiech troubled, by my ,marriage
with M. de Hendon:- Since my .widowhood he
has offered me his hand several' times ; but 1 was
pleased with my liberty, and waii alarmed at,a new
union, and have always refused. Finally, when
the mule of Rovemboorg was put into a lottery, he
witnessed my trouble, and proposed,to tee, laugh,.

afraid that he would gain it; and to-day lam in
despair that Rovembaurg has passed into other

A thought passed like en arrow threTAftheAnd
of Bardanod. He looked at Madame de Ratidenut,
who was playing with a minuet of wild flowers—
She seemed charming. He remembered, at the
same lime, that she possessed a fortune double in
value to the domain of Rouremlx•org, and that she
belonged to one of the most noble families in the
Duchy.
All these ideas wailed him at once, and threw
him into a stupor. The widow gave as interpreta

it What do you n:ean, M. de • Barclanou I I do

with an embarramment which protested against this
affirmation.

" Since Rovembonrg has so many charms for
Madame de Putudnux,': replied .the Provencal,
warmly, " she might resign herself, perhaps, in or.

" Come, you are joking," said the widow, laugh•
log constrainedli.
" A joke if my proposition offends Madame de
Readonz," replied the Provencal ; " a serious thing
it - she receives it without anger."
" But do you Lot think, M de, Bardanou— have
you not previous engagements widi Mademoiselle
Nicene ?''
" None, Madame ; every thing is confined •to
vague plans. 3
" Meantime if the child has conceived hopes?"
" Reason wilt make her renotince them. Nicet•
