NO doubt th.- most absurd thing 1 could huvu dune after the departure of Professor Kero tfev and his singular friend would have been to settle myself be fore ray canvas again with the inten tion of painting, and that Is what 1 did. At least. 1 resumed tny camp etool and went through some of Uio motious habitually connected with tbo act of painting. Id tine, 1 sat there brush paddling my failure like an automaton and say ing over and over aloud: "What is wrong with him? What is wrong with htar I came out of my varicolored study with a start, caused by tho discovery that 1 had absentmlndedly squeezed upon my palette the entire contents of an expensive tube of covalt violet. The turpentine rag at least proved effective. 1 scoured away the last tokens of my failure with It. wishing that life were like tho canvas and that men had knowledge of the right ce lestial turpentine. After that 1 clean ed my brushes, packed and shouldered my kit and. with a flnal imprecation upon all sausage sandwiches, took up my way once more to Lea Trols Pi geons.

Yesslrl" I tarried no longer, but, bidding this good youth and tho generations of Baudry good night, hastened on to my belated dinner. "Amedee," I said when my cigar was lighted and the usual hour of consulta tion had arrived. "Isn't that old lock on the chest where Mmc. Brossard keeps her silver getting rather rusty?" "Monsieur, we havo no thieves here. "Wo are out of, the world." "los, but Trouvllle Is not so far away, and strange people go to Trou vUle grand dukes, opera singers, Jock eys, gamblers, tourists" "Truly." assented Amedee.

The benevolent gtue continued to rest upon tne, but u shadow' like n faint anxiety darkened tho Homeric brow. Finally ho wild abruptly, "It Is about him that I have come to talk to yon." "I shall be very glad." "lla. my dear sir." he cried, "but you are u mnn of feeling!

Ha. ha!" , f mitgrowing and fanniug localities chanting sonorously, "On Linden when strange people may come from Trou- the sun was low." 1 left the rougher boscages of the forest behind me and emerged Just at sunset upon an or derly fringe of woodland where the ground was neat and unincumbered and the trimmed trees stood at polite distances, bowing slightly to one an other with small, well bred rustlings. 1 Btood upon Quesnay ground. Before me stretched a short broad avenue of tur. leading to the chateau gates. A slope was terraced with strips of flower gardens and Intervals of sward, and against the green of a rising lawn I marked tho figure of a woman pausing to bend over Rome flowering bush. Tho lady upon tho slope was Mme.d'Armand, the Inspira tion ot Amedee's "Monsler has much to live for." On-e more this day 1 Indorsed that worthy man's opinion, for. though I was too far distant to see clearly. I knoflSUbat roses trimmed Mme. d'Ar mond'afhlte hat and that she had passdjme no long time since lu jho forest,- 1 haitcome far out of my way, so I retraced my steps to tho intersection ofttue paths and thence made tor the inn by my accustomed route. Not lar along the road from where I came Into it stood an old. brown, defp thatched cottage, a branch of brushwood over the door prettily beckoning travelers, to the. knowledge that cider was here for tbb thirsty, and as 1 drew near l perceived that one availed himself of the Invitation. A group stood about the opeu door, the lamplight from wltblii disclosing the head ot tbehouso filling u cup for the w.uytarer. The latter was a most mundane nud elaborate wayfarer indeed a small young man very lightly made, like a Jockey and point device In khaki, put tees, pongee cap, white aiid green 8 took-, a knapsack on his back and a bamboo stick under his arm. He spoke, though with a detestable accent, in a rough and ready, picked up dialect of Parisian slang, while Pere Haudry contributed bis share of tbo conversa tion In a slow patois. As both mou epoko at the same tlmo and neither understood two consecutive words tho other said, It struck me that the diu Jogumight prove unproductive f an highly important results this side of I Mlchnelrans. Therefore, discovering J that the very pedestrian gentleman was making somo sort of Inquiry con-, corning Lcs Trols Pigeons, i enmo t6 a halt and proffered aid. "Are. you looking for Mme. IJros sard's?" I asked In English. Thptrnveler uttered an exclamation and faced about with a Jujnp, bird llko for quickness. "Say," he responded in a voice of unpleasant nusallty, finally deciding upon speech, "you're 'ummorlc'n, ain't you?"' "Yes," I returned. "I thought I heard, you Inquiring for" "yoli, m' friend, you can sting me." ho lnYcrrupted. with condescending Jocularity. "My style French does f'r them v camels up in Paris all night But down hci'i I don't seem to bo gud enough, fr those sheep dogs. Any way, thby bark different. I'm lukklu' fer a hotel called Les Trols Pigeons." 1 pointed to the lights of the li'm flickuring tterou tho UJdn. "Yonder heyoud tho sclmiu turn of tin toad," "Oh, 1 ain't goin' tin .o tt lftl.t!
