I shall dress Just as tho rest do." It Is snfe to say that Reno do Ron rlllo went home with n troublcsomo boo In his bonnet. He was not a bad heart ed fctlpw. Many n rlit good young man before hint and slnco has loved an Adrlonuo and been dazzled by an Alice, A vlolot is sweet, but a roso is the gar den's queen. The poor youthful fron tlcrsman ought to havo been stronger, but he was not, and what have wo to say? Tho danco did not como off. It had to be postponed Indefinitely on account of a grnvo chango In tho political rein-, tlons of the llttlo post. A day or two before tho tlmo sot for that function a rumor ran through tho town that something of Importance was ubout to happen. Father Olbault at the head of a smal) party, had arrived from Koskaskla, far away on tho Mississippi, with tho news that Franca and the American colonics had mado common cnURO agnlnst tho English In tho great war of which tho people of Vlncennes neither knew tho causo nor cared a straw about the outcome. It was Onclo Jazon who cnnio to the Rousslllon place to toll M. Rousslllon that ho was wanted nt the river house. Alice met him nt tho door. "Come In, Onclo Jazon," she cheerily aid. "You ii ro getting to bo a strnngor nt our houso lately. Como In. What, nows do you bring? Tako off your cup and rest your hair, Onclo Jazon." The scnlpless old lighter chuckled raucously and bowed to tho best of his ability. He not only took off his queer cap, but looked into It with a startled gaze, as If ho expected something In finitely dangerous to Jump out and seize his nose. "A thousand thanks, m'nm'sclle," ho presently said. "Will yo plenso tell M'hIpu' Rousslllon that I would wish to see 'ImV" "Yos, Onclo Jazon; but first be seated and let mo offer you Just a drop of cau do vie, Home, that Pupa Rousslllon brought back with him from Quebec. He says It's old and tine." Bho poured htm a full glass, then, setting tho bottlo on n llttlo stand, went to ,11ml M. RousHlllon. Whllo sho was absent Onclo Jazon Improved his op portuulty to the fullest extent At least three uddltlonul glasses of tho brandy went tho way of tho ilrst IIo grinned atrociously and smacked his corrugat ed lips, but when Quspard Rousslllon came In tho old man wns sitting nt some distance, from tho bottlo and glass, gazlug Indifferently out across tho vcrunda. He told his story curtly. Father Olbault, ho said, had sent hliu to ask M. Rousslllon to como to the river bouse, us he had news of great Importunco to communlcato. "Ah, well, Onclo JazOn, we'll havo a nip of brandy togothcr before wo go," snld tho host. "Why, yea, Jes' ono ag'ln the brollln' Weather," assented Onclo Jazon. "I don't mind Jes' oue." "A very rich, friend of mine In Que bec gave, me this brandy, Onclo Jazon," said M, Rousslllon, pouring tho liquor with a grand flourish, "and I thought of you as soon as I got It Now, says I to myself, If any man knows good brandy when bo tastes It, It's Onclo Jazon, nud I'll glvo him a. good chance of this bottle Just tho first of all my friends." "It surely Is delicious," said Onclo Jazon, "very dollelous." Ho spoke French with a curious accent, having spent long year with English speuklng frontiersmen In tho Carollnas and Ken tucky, so that tholr lingo had becomo . his own. : As they walked elda by sldo down the .way to tho rlyer house thoy looked llko typical extremes of rough, suuburuod and weather tnnuod mnnbood-Ouclo Jazon n wizened, dlmlnutlvo scrap, wrinkled and odd In overy respect; Oaspanl Rousslllon towering six feet two, wUo shouldered, massive, lumber ing, muscular, a giant wltb long curl- i Ing hair nnd a superb ward.
