SANGEROT'S FICKLE MEMORY i a M ti How It ISronslit .Joy to a Rtrauger ,j A' and Pain to m Frluud. $ Mine. Vermandols mid Lor pretty daughter Clotilda lind just seated them selves before their embroidery frames In the bright, cozy little nioiulng room overlooking the garden when M. Sau gerot entered the rooui like u rushing wind not unusual for Saugerot, ns lie was always lu a hurry, though, frankly speaking, hp was a gentleman of elegaut leisure nud hnd absolutely nothing to occupy him except the agreeable task of collect in;: his divi dends. But ho had a mania of creat ing 'for himself a multitude of fictitious obligations, which never left him fice for a moment. Ho breakfasted hurriedly,- bo dined hurriedly, and when ever his acquaintances accosted him on the street they were invariably greeted by the stereotyped phrase, "I'm sorry, my dear friend, but I cnu't stop; haven't the time." This harmless eccentricity, however, would not have caused the slightest inconvenience to any one had not this Ueedi'ess restlessness produced lu the otherwise excellent and well meaning 'iangerot frequent lapses ef memory, particularly lu regard to names and addresses, which he seemed to forget almost as soon ns they were given and which, in his perpetual hurry, be did not take time to note in his memoran dum book. "Ah, what happy chance brings you hero today, my dear Hector?" snld the amiable Mme. Vermandols. as she looked up from ber embroidery nud greeted her brother-in-law. "It is not chance that brings me here, my dear Horteuse," breathlessly ex claimed Saugerot, "but an uli'iilr of the first Importance which I shall tell you lu two parts." "Sit dowii, at least," said Mme. Ver mundols, pushing a chair toward him. "Haven't the time, my dear: haven't the time," said Sangerot. taking his stand near the mantelpiece. "Hera It Is nearly 2 o'clock." he uddod. glancing hurriedly ot his watch, "and by half past I should bo at the auction rooms, where the furniture of a certain Com tesse do Vertuluro Is to be sold. I un derstand that she has a rare collection of curios and bric-a-brac and odd little Unickknacks, picked up In her many travels, and I wouldn't miss the auc tion for the world not for tho world, my dear Clotildo!" "Aro you go his to buy anything, my dear Hector?" quizzically inquired Mme. Vermandols. "Ituy? Not the sll;'.l;tet.t Idea of pur chasing nuythlu;;." hurriedly answered Saugerot. "but I must be there for a very important reason, which If would take me too long now ij explain. Ah. my little ClotiMe," continued the effer vescent Saugerot. addressing hia niece. "Is not this the hour tVr your water color lesson V" "Which means, my dear uncle," said Clotilde, rising from her chair, "that I nm do trop, for the mysterious affair which you have to communicate to mammu." Then, lacking at M. Sauge rot with her extremely pretty eyes, full of ro.TUlr.h witchery, she asked If the Importaii. affair were a blond or brunette with a mustache or beard, and coquettish!' Intimated that she preferred mustaches only, mil very dark ones. And with a 1! .lit, musical !augh Mile. Clorl!,U hmT'e.l from the room, quite convinced tlr.t her uncle was dliout to propose n rmi!d.'te for her hand-nud tu.t In tlie h :st fr:.;ht enod at tf.e prciipect of ma'.rluxny. "The cunuin.c; little (or.'." ev.elalmeil Saugerot to Mme. Vortnaudois, as soon hh the doer liud closed a.'ter III -i pretty I'1":'!'. "Phe has actually defined the ob ject 01 my visit! Well, I'm glad to know that Hie proposition Is ngreeatilo. This saves time and avoids the nou s sity of a long preamble. Vim, Indeed, my good Horteuse," hurriedly added Saugerot, "I've found the right man for Clotlldo-a marvelous opportunity! How did ( find blm? purely by the merest chance, which I shall explain to you another day, when I am more at leisure. Ho Is a charming young fel low, dignified, grave, of excellent landing; a clever lawyer with a prom sjtt fi"i:', "K years eld, wth loD.OUO . - , ;) -, - .. . cj.. !Ur.r)y ni.ire " iv.s.e f : on a ;.'i.J r.uiii, wl:o is p.irnlyzed and loves him as an own son. 1 spoke to him of t'lotildo. lie found the conditions s;it isfacioi y and desired an Interview, which I am hem to iirringe. Write hhn to come here and se: you. Kind k-i: le pretext, for I haven't the time to l."vent one. I know that ho will respond ns soon us the Invitation Is given. If ho pleases you, I can nrrnnge tho affair very sim ply mid very quickly. As to myself, my dear Horteuse, you know that I niu always at your service-that is, ns far ns my occupations permit." Mme. Vermandols listened with an amused smile to her brother-ln-law'8 proposition and took advantage of a slight parse to Inquire if lie really meant that she was to Invite tho pro posed suitor to her house without even the formality of a previous Introduc tion. "To bo sure, to be sure," hastily re plied Snngerot. "It will be time gain ed." "But, my dear Hector, you do not stop to reflect," protested Mine. Ver mandols, a lit t lo excitedly. "Would It not bo more conventional to arrango for Clotilde and myself to meet the young man at some soiree or enter tainment nud follow the Introduction by nn Invitation to call?" "P.ut hnvo I the time, my good wom an," hotly argued Hector Saugerot, bristling with indignation, "to go galli vanting about with you and Clotilde to soirees and balls, I who am rushed, crushed and overwhelmed with a mul titude of affairs, which leave me abso lutely not one minute for myself?" And with nn injured air Sangerot paus ed for a second nud looked at his sls-ter-ln-law, and as she remained silent lie hurriedly continued: "Take my ad vice, and don't let the opportunity slip. It Is the chance of a lifetime. Catch the bird while you can. Write to blm! Look about you for a pretext. The whole nffalr Is so simple, and women nre geniuses where excuses ore con cerned. I must go now, for it is ten minutes past 2, nnd I shall never reach the auction rooms, Itno Drout, by half past." "Hut another question, dear Hector," said Mme. Vermandols, detaining her brother-in-law by the lapel of his eoat. "What are tho young man's tinme and nddress?" "Ah, to bo sure!" exclaimed Sangerot. "I certainly forgot thut detail, but how can I be expected to remember every thing, with so many Important duties to think of? Ills name Is ah. Just let me think a moment, Horteuse. Yes, I'm sure his last namo Is Dupen. and his lirst Is either Georges, Charles or Jules." "It is very Important, my dear Hec tor," said Mine. Vermandols laughing ly, "to have the first name, for there are doubtless hundreds of Dupens in Paris, uud there is certainly a vide dif ference between Charles, .IuIlm and Georges." "Quite right, quite right, my dear. Well, lot me think. Ah, yes: 1 have It now. Ilia name lu Jules Dupe;;. I am quite positive of this, and his address In 123 yes. I am positive it is 12a or oli, I cnu't for the life cf me think of the name ef the street.'- And he de spairingly turned to his sister-ln-iav.'. "Help me. my dear Horteuse, help me!" Hut Mu.e. Vermandols pleaded her in ability to do so. "Ah. at last I have It!" Joyfully ex claimed Saugerot. "It Isn't a street at nil; it'sa boulevard. and there's a saint's name mixed up with It. Let me think. Is it St. Martin, St. Denis. St. Marcel or St. Michel? Ah, at last!" cried San gerot triumphantly. "It Is Boulevard St. Michel. 12;!, and the young mau's name is Jules Dupen." Mme. Vermandols gave a sigh of re lief. "Write to him at once," urged Sange rot, "and goodby, or I shall never reach the auction lu time for the sale." And. with a frantic wave of his hand, he rushed from the room. As soon as her brother-in-law had disappeared Mme. Vermandols. who possessed a keen sense of the ridicu lous, threw herself Into the uruichnlr and burst Into a hearty laugh, for the counsel given her was so delightfully unconventional. A widow of many years' standing, she hud led a quiet life, going out but little. Naturally she desired to marry her daughter off. ami Mile. Clotilde herself was not averse to matrimony. P.ut her opportunities to appear at fashionable functions had been few and far between; hence Mme. Vermandols debated long whether it would be wise to allow such a desir able offer as' her brother-in-law pre sented to slip by. for, notwithstanding Snngorot's eccentricities, she hud gnat confidence lu his Judgment, particular ly In the selection of an eligible hus band. So the next day tho anxious widow iient by the morning post the follow ing missive, which she addressed to "M. Jules Dupen, 123 Boulevard St. Michel, Paris:" "Mine. Vermaudols would be ex tremely grateful to M. Jules Djpen 1? he would kludly call on her at 1 !2 Bo naparte street on important business any time from 3 to ," Having rud and reread the note, t he decided that as M. Dupen was a law yer she would tall; to him cl.cut he: many lawsuits with her hushr.nd'H rel atives. Tills subject lit t'.Kir.t. she thought, would n fiord n hr.ppy oppor tunity of coming to the real l u.ihuss. M. Juloi. Dupe.i the ,: ...ted p.-iinie:1 Bud laureate of tho rvaool of Pine Arts, residing at 123 ISoulcvard St. Michel, was greatly surprised, but highly de lighted, to receive the pressing Invita tion to call upon Mine. Vermandols at 112 Itonapiirle street. "Vermandols, Vermandols?" ho repeated to himself as he threw tho note on his writing ta ble. "1 really do not think that I ever met any one of thnt name. However, I shall certainly call, for Jules 1 lupin was never known to miss a rendezvous with a lady! She has evidently heard of my fame as a painter and no doubt desires to give me an order for a pic ture." The next day, after having dressed himself most carefully for the occasion, M. Dupen called nt. the hour named by Mme. Vermandols. For tho time being Mile. Clotilde hud boon provisionally stowed away, but this did not prevent her mother from feeling terribly em barrassed as to the proper way of open lug the Interview. It must also be ad mitted that Dupen, though a man of tho world und thoroughly accustom!, , to society, felt equally ill at ease. : ' Flnallyfttmo.

Hector Saugerot, wns the real cul prit, who bad advised her to write the note. Per a minute the uit.tt looked puz zled, for he had never before heard of Saugerot; but, quickly recovering his self possession, be said gayly: "Ah, nnd so It was Sangerot who And how is tills dear, delightful Saugerot i" "Very well. Indeed, thanks, mon sieur," replied Mmn. Vermandols. with one of her most gracious smiles; "but, as usual, always in a berry. Of course, you understand. It Is n little way of his. All his friends do." "Yes, yes, I understand perfectly, niadame," answered the nrti.rt, who un derstood nothing at all; but, seeing his hostess smile, ho burst Into a loud, hearty laugh. "Well," thought Mme. Verm::n.!o!:i. as she listened to Dupen's peal of laughter, "Hector told mo that he was a very serious, grave young man; on the contrary, be Is quite gay." Then, continuing her conversation. Mme. Yor mniidols ventured: "I want your ad vice. My brother-in-law sug.T.st'd" "Your brother-in-law!" exclaimed Dupen, thoroughly amazed. "To be sure," replied Mme. Verman dols, somewhat surprised ft the art ist's quizzical expression. "Ah, Sangerot! Your brother-in-law! Yes, yes. I understand perfectly." "A poor widow. M. Dupe:i, frequent ly stands In need of counsel." "Then you are a widow. i:i,::l:;:.:o'" "Why, certainly. Didn't :;a::;-rrot toll you? Perhaps he h-.ii'.'.'t C: ." "No, I must confess." said .'.:!..

"Precisely the contrary, sir." said Mme. Yorniuiidols, "for It wr,;i only aft er my widowhood that my troubles berjan. My husband's father possessed a magnificent picture gallery." "Ah, hero we are at lust!" thought tho artist. "The paintings had not yet been dis tributed among the heirs when my dear, darling husband died, nud now his relatives nre questioning lit rights." "It Is positively shocking, uiadame," exclaimed tho artist sympathetically, but thinking to himself, "Well, what l:i the devil does she expect me to do about It?" "They merely consented." continued tho wiiio-..-. In doleful tones belli ling the occasion, "to nllow me to have a Grea.e. a Prugonard and a series of sketches by David." "But tho:..' are real treasure, ma dame!" replied Dupen enthusiastic ally. "Then you really thlui:, monsieur" Inquired Mme. Vermandois. Jules Dujv. ti was pcrhnps Just on the point of faying what l:e really did think, when Clotilde, in a crisp, pink organdie gown and loe!:iug ns fresh and pretty as a spray of r-ini-tine. en tered t lie, drawing room. "Sapriste!" said the r.r:ist to him self. "Uchold a Gtouze. living one nnd far more beautiful than anything tho master ever painted!" The arrival of the young girl Inter rupted the conversation for a few mo ments, but Dupen was too much at home to allow the subject to drop and adroitly brought the cotiverr.ntiou back to art and paintings. Mme. Verman dols listened attentively, entranced by his eloquence. Sangerot was certainly right, tho young man. was perfect and would assuredly make his mark in the world. Clotilde appeared equally fas cinated, and when she displayed her water colors the artist enthused over her "masterpieces." "You have real talent, mademoi selle," declared Dupen, and he began to explain in technical terms the par ticular niceties of Clotllde's brush. "Then you also palutv monsieur?" royly asked Clotilde. "A little," said Dupen. though In wardly jimazed that she had not heard of his fame. "Ah. how delightful!" exclaimed Clo tilde, who understood perfectly the ob ject of the stranger's visit and who was already captivated by his dark mustache. The Interview was now at au end, and Mme. Vermandols graciously ex tended her hand aud invited the artist to call agalu. Jules Dupen had under stood absolutely nothing and was still puzzled to know why he had been re quested to call. One thing, however, was quite clear he had received a sec ond Invitation, and as the visit would afford him the opportunity of studying the living Greuze, which nt that mo nieut he was devouring with his eyes, he hastened to reply: "With the great est pleasure, madame. But when will i you permit mo to come again?" "Whenever you please," cordially re plied ids hostess; "for we shall ahvayB be glad to see you." "Call again tomorrow," ventured Clotilde, with a roguish twinkle lu her eyes. Fifteen days later Sangerot, durlug ono of his flying Journeys through Tarls, happened to stumble over M. Jules Dupen, lawyer, who, strange to say, gave htm n very cold reception, and remarked reproachfully, "Well, I'm still waiting." "Waiting? Waiting for what?" In quired tho innocent Sangerot, his hon est face wreathed in smiles. "For the letter frjim Mme. Vermun dols," curtly answered the lawyer. "Now, look here, my dear friend, do not Joke with me, for I have heard all about your Jully visits to my sister-in-law's house, thut my nleco Is desper ately In love with you, and that on Tuesday next a dinner will be given, When the engagement will be formally announced. Unfortunately, I have been so much occupied of late that I have not been nblo to be present dur ing any of your visits. But I shall make an effort to bo there on Tuesday, if I can find time." "My dear sir," said the lawyer, with dlguilted reserve, "I ussure you thai I huvo never put my foot In your sister-in-law's house." "What!" cried Sangerot "Can It ho possible that I made a mistake and gave the wrong address? By the way. Dupen, where do you live?" "One hundred and twenty-threo Bou levard St. Germain."
