But when Sam krlna retired to Vaighbrand, ah with ilrew th girl from school, and r-vbsd her ever to Ing irin whether from the bitter memory of her own uffer Ing, or from omo vagus Jealousy of the future, th poor child did not know.

When h fait herself to b dying, ahe called Jame Aubinot rr.d her daughter to her, and whispered to him: lit . A t .a m i. ia nnianea: l am going away. I leave my daughter to your care. She Ms voice, and ahe feel It profound ly. Terhap the mill be a great artltt but do all you can to prevent It. She must not live and die a I hav done. It I too full of misery. Aubinet solemnly avowed to her Ma lav j for hr oaughtcr, and his deter- mlnatlon to make her happy. He fwt un that, a a wife and the mother of a family, ah mould never heroine an opara-Bingnr. He comprehended that auoji a career would be the ruin w nis na.ppines. it waa not hard Tor him to promise to watch crasleasty to avoid the Jangir. The dying woman murmured. "Thanks," nd pressed his hand to signify her belief. n. A year later, Luolle became Mad.tme Aubinet. She wi submissive and Iw Ing, and somewhat lacking in spirit, but her husband liked her all the bet tor for that He invested all his little avings In the villa at Carriers, and asked her affectionately, "Art we not lodged like kings? Art thou content?' "Oh. yea! only "Only what?" "If w could only go to the theatre now and then," He scowled, and she looked troubled "Only one would dol Only once!

Perhaps sometime we may be able to do it But they never went She had no maid. All day she was busy about the housework amd In the are of her garden. In the evening she aevotod herself to her husband, Khe aid nothing more of the theatre, When walls had been built about the garden, ah gratified the Irresistible desire to sing which was alwaya spring. Ing up within her. At first, the sound of her own voice frightened her. Then ah would grow bolder and fill the air with trill, Ilk a fork intoxicated with hi own music. At such times, if her husband heard her, she saw a shadow settle uoon his face. Sometime he would say to her gently, "Remember what your mother sold, and sing no more Just tfhlnk how she suffered for her staging!" Then Luclle would stop filled wltn inexpressible sadness. When aha had been married thirteen months, a babe wa born, one eve ning whan she wa holding him upon her lap in the garden, her husband aid to her, "I have made a little more " than usual this year. I would like to gpend It to give thee pleasure. What is there that thou d estreat most of JIT' Blushing, ahe turned to him, but he said nothing. "What 1 it? Tell me thy wish?" "But it I something which thou dost not like." "Never mind. Tell me Just the vme." "Hire a piano for me, for Just one month! I have not played since I was at tho bo&rdlng-aohool. Oh, James, If thou only knewest how It would please I me!" It wa plain that she had made him suffer. He dropped upon the bench beside her and after repeating again to her the dying worda of her mother, he added to them a full expreewlon of his Jealous fear that, even after all the proofs of tenderness end loyalty that the had given 'him, she might some day, If he did not discourage her in every possible way, become desirous to leave him, their homo, their child, everything for the sake of the mimic Whloh she loved so much. She comprehended him at last. His affection, even hie fears, touched her deeply. She promised to try to forget her longings for a piano. Still, during the long days, when she was alone with her child, she oould not help thinking of thait which sho loved so muoh; and If she sometimes fancied that a cold had injured her voice, or that it wa losing Its sweetrers, she could not rest until she had satisfied tierself of her mistake by a few trills. The child was charmed with her sing ing. One day he said to his father, "Ah, If tbou only knewest how my mother ln when thou art gone to Parte!" But Aubinet received tho In nocent remark with so stern a face that the child shrank from blm in terror. The little wife redoubled ber exer tion to make her home attractive, and tried to sing leas and to dream lean of music. Thus the years passed away until Luclle waa thirty, and the boy become old enough to enter tha Lyceum. UKlt their aloador income, tba extra ' .r it k.

I will let yon sottio everything, and win pay you forty thousand francs tho 11 ret year. After that you may make your own terms." Luolle, dazzled at tho splendor of his offer, felt all her dally care and drudgery slipping away from her. She saw ber dcur son supplied with all that ho needed, her home made luxurious her husband relieved of hla terrible burden of anxiety. And It was really true!
