ri Clairmont deepened with every-passing
hour.. From that night otstornis life - had
a new charm for Jeanne Dare. Under
her,paro the ruing offMergained rapidly,
but ere be was able to quit the cottage;
she had learned to love him with - all, the
depth and - fervor Of, which such natures
as heis are capable. The sunshine had
never seemed so bright as when it 'stole
through the latice, and wove a halo abOut
the , goldem.haired Clairmont.. the moon
had never looked so -fair as when. she ;
Brailed;at them is Jeanne sit singing at-i
his feet ; the froVence roses had. never ]
worn so rich 'a glow, , ,aslthen he had
.li:teethed them amid ber.tresses. .
.The four weekti of his stay were the
golden age.of her exiStence, and It was
with .a sad heart she looked for-ward to
the time when he should rejoin:his troops.
";Jeanne," he said dne evening„. as he
met her in the cottage porct„ "I can
-have no poisible eicuse for remaining
here another •day."
The *arm blood mounted to the girl's
cheek and brow, her eybi drooped, her
lips quivered. I A thrill of triumph ran
through•plairmont's fmme,•as he bent to
ward her, and, continued—
,
"Jeanne, cre I go-I would fain have do
ititerviaw with you. Meet me in' the oak
wood - beside the Fairy'a Fountain, in the
course of an hour." •
The' girl could not speak, but she bowed
assent, and they pitted.
. Not long afterward Colonel 'Clairmont
might have been
.seen pacing to and fro
beneath the great beech which overshad
owed the fountain. At length . be heard
a quick step, and jitt another instant had
clasped a lithe form in his ,arms.
"Jeanne, Jeanne," he eiclainted, "Jean
ne,'• etoile de ty4c.i . e. I could not leave
D6mremi till I bad told you how madly I
love you.- "Tell me that you return it—
that you will be 'nine, and I shall be the
haPpiest.man in alLFrancc. Speak, Jean
ne—this suspense, is torture:"
yon, I trust you, but you are of
noble des&mt; :Intl I a poor peasant-girl'.
Alas'? lam no match fur you. And she,
burst into tears.
Henri Clairanopt drew her closer to
him`, and sootlimyber with a thousand
fond words, and ere, they . separated. he .
had promised to come back in a month's . .
time; bringing a priest, who should.solem
nize their marriage in that shado‘i;? , old
wood.
lier heart beat with hope as she
received her lorer's parting kiss, and re-
traced her steps homeward: For three
weeks subsequent to his departere her
feet trod enehanf,ed ground,:but then dis
trust and tiorrowreame.
It wast.u . -nightl', and she stood in the
cottage garden, hard by the church, lis
tening to the music of its b 2113, of which
she was passions e 1 fond. .
" Jetoioc," n'altrirt*it
is Manchon, stalwart w young,, villager,
moved towavelsber. A - single &bee at
the hazel eyes which gazed sobomnfully
at 'her would haVe told that he loved her
with his whole soul, and.thougli'lle was a
sun browned shepherd, •there was some;
thing noble and Manly in his whole ap
pearance. The dreamy girl started at
his approach, but her manner was cordial
as she bade him' Welcome. - Still there
were none of the ilitting blushes, the trem
ulous_ smiles with which: she *had been
wont to greet.lliiiri Clairmont.
" Dear Jeanne,''resutned - Louis, "we
have been frienos ,.
`from 'our childhood,
-have we nol ?"
"Most assuredly.!":
"Then walk with me lilt° yori woods.
- Nay, do not hesitate-4 cannot be denied."_
Mechanicidly the girltook his arm, and'
they strolled into the ivoods. Louis scarce
ly poke till theylha& reached the Fai.iy's
Fountain; then, however, he began in a
tone which no effort could render firm—
I - "E4ersinee Yon and I came here,
when we were children, to - hang garlands
and sing round this fountain, I have loved
you *ith all my heart. No man. can love
you as I do—no than will cherish you so
I fondly as I would have done, had - .you rem
*turned my_ passidn. But such happiness
! was not. for. rile. !You love :Colonel Clair
' moot-you have !plighted your faith to
him iu secret—yd have promised to mar
-1 ry him in secretOreause forsooth, he es
! pects opposition from his family, should
they know be had wedded a shepherd's
daughter." • •
• "Jeanne trem,bled, but her face lighted
Has she acknoWledged the charge, for .
enri ClairmontiWas dearer to her than
aught else in the Wide world—nay, more-,
" he stood
. betw*n her and heaven." •
"Oh, - Jeaune,".gtoaned her companion,
"I pity. ou—l would spare you,ifl could,
but • Mon Dieu !G I cannot. 'Tis all a

Of -course yon are not St.

"Again Clairmont laughed.
"..‘Sericius ?" Oh! no,' he exclaimed ;-
4Would be madnesi to think 'of such a ,
match.- I only flirted with her whenkl
bad nothing else to do. It was plealiant
to unfold petal 'after petal:of 'her young

“ . There wet .1 deal more of gay talk,"
resumed Louis, "and Clairtnent invited
him to attend the w,edding." •
Jeanne Dare heard no more, 'but sank
unconscious beside the Mossy brim of the
fountain. The young shepherd tenderly
raised her, bathed her face in the fairy:
haunted waters,,and at last saw conscious
ness,restored. After a paroxysm of wild
anguish, she hid her hand" on his arm, and
said, horsely, ' •
"When and - where that wedding?"
Louis told her; and she sp frantically
begged him to accompany ber to the ClA
tears de Soissons that he consented.

was that lit up the,quaint old pile with
such pomp and splendor. There were
soldiers of stately pi wince, - proud dames
with nodding plumes a , sparkling - jewels,
il
and robes of Chang fill sheen, and maidens
bright : eyed, red ipped, and . blossom

But the gaze of Zeanne Dare Wandered
restlessly to the two who stood on the al
tar-stone, plighting' their marriage.vows..
One. Was ColoneltClairmonthe other
'Clestd, the peerlessi, daughter of a noble
line. How beintittil she Was, with her
superb form, het ditzlingcomplexion, her
sunny blue eyes, her fulh ripe lips', her
tresses ,of dusky gold. And then her robe
of costly lace, wort' over white satin ; her
veil, her jewells,her pearld3roideredgloves
—poor' Jeanne took them all in at a glance.
She saw the Proudsmile with which
'the bride-groom kigsed her after the bene
diction ; she heard the low " Celeste. my
and her-heart seemed sinking within
her.. - A mad impulse; seized her to rush
forward—to 'denounce •him—to tell the
bride flint this stately oflieer was false;
that his head, with
. its ending, gold-bro w r.
hair had rested on her shoulder ; that his
voice had'murinured softly in her earl
but her bettir judgment lipt her back.
As the colonel-led his young wife from
the chapel, the train of her "else became
entangled: He stooped to disentangle it
and• met. the -gate of a pair of great
dark, upbraiding eyes. The smile faded
from his lip,he grew pale,and his' tep wa •
unsteady as he moved on. ' • •
• At the wedding:banquet his laugh was
hollow, his gaiety forced, for he feared
Joann e Dare's - 'revenge.
• And she—how - was it with her? While
the Chateau di- Soissons echoed • to - the
merriment of the leveller's, she journeyed
homeward, palevd, silent. At the door
of hnr - Catlttfi''s hel&Atti, her
hand to her peasant lover and said in a
low, firm tone—
"Louis,you were right— , :the dream is
over. I hall never love again shall
live and die a maiden !"
With these, words she went into the
house, and how-she. kept the proud's° made
that eight in the presence of God, the
future phges of our stars must reveal:
With the shadow locks seer thy pale, yokkg brow,
And the world of dreamy gloom that Ilea
In the roily depths -of thy soft, dark - eye!, -
Thou haat loved, fair girl, thowbaet loved too well,
Thou art-mooning o'er &broken epell."
- From the tinse.when Jeanne bare- saw
her' love-dreams-vanish, she became an en
thusiast, " a live legend." Hitherto, ac
cording to Michelet, Jeanne bad assisted
her mother in honsehole affairs, while her
father and the other _children watched
their flocks ; but now the poetic tendencies
of her nature deepened;. her little room
often seemed to gro-w bright with the
splendor of gOlden wings, and-she fancied
she heard angel voices murmuring in her
ear.
Oita summer's 'day, as she.sat at noon
ti4e.in her father's garden, close to the.
church, She saw a dazzling light - on that
side, and hear.d-a•voice say—
" Jeanne, be a good and obedient child.
Go often to church." •
As time Went on, and every day brought
more vividly before her the troubles of
her country—" the tocsin - , the awakening
wth a start to see in the distant horiion
the lurid light of conflagration," she long
ed to have France delivered from such a
state ofthings.• She asked herself wheth
er God would not scpd a liberator, as he
had so often done for Israel—a *Gideon,'n
Judith ?
..She was aware that .God had
raised up a woman to save his peeple,,and
besides, there was a prophecy' current
that a Pucelle of Lorraine was to save
the realm.
All the 4 circumstances combined to in.
crease the visionary state of the young
girl,. and as she lay on . her simple couch, a
blaze alight shone • around • her, and in
the midst of tbaradiencedazzling visitants
appeared,one of whoni had glorions wings,
'and seemed to be St. Michael.
. " Jeanna,", said the angel, "go to the
succor of the King of Fiance, and thou
shalt restore his kingdom to him !"
Trgmbling all over, •the maiden replied:
"Oh, lam only a poor. girl; I• know
not how to ride, pr lead men-atarms."
