In point of fact, I could not keep my eves off her. I passed her aul repassed ucr as I paced tho dock from end to end, and avow timn T niwsfld her 1 locked at her. What lovelv dray eyes !

As the song says, "Her voice was low and sweet." I was too flattered to auswer her. I could only lmvu .mil rrrili nn .1 make u bolt for tho steward's den. Of course I took the Cognac to her myself. You should have seen how prettily she thanked me. She sipped it as a canary bird might do, if that bird wero in the habit of drinking bmmlv.

Sho pressed her handkerchief o lier eyes as sho spoke, now micrent inc. nav. how touchinir. was tho simple confession. This wistful sorrow in her eves was at once accounted for. oulil hat it had been my happy lot to com fort her. There was a camp stool close by. Pres ently I ventured to draw a little nearer and sit down on it, blushing nt my tem erity as I din so. Sho did not seem at all offended, and wo wero presently in the midst of an animated and interest ing conversation. Thore was no hauteur about Madame. On the contrary, sho was candor itself. Sho had only been three davs. sho told me. in London. She had been stiivina' with Sir Henry I itz Evans, who had charce of her late hus band's interests in England. She was now going buck to seclusion, going back to the little cottage in which she dwelt ever since her husband's death. Sho would not bo able to go forward by the tidal train, she told me, having a ousi ness call to make in Calais. She would go forward by tho evening train. All this was told me with a charming Irankness. There was no reason why I should not wait and go forward by the evening train if she would only allow me to do so. When I threw out a hint to that effect, she offered no objection. She admitted at oneo that she was fond of so ciety, and then she looked at me, and well, I could almost have sworn that she blushed. I had already told her that I was bound for Taris on a special errand for my father; but I had not said a word about the ring, or had she ever seen it. I had put on my gloves before leaving the train at Dover, and I still wore them. A little while longer, and we found our selves in Calais. When we landed, mad ame admitted that she was hungry, and that luncheon would be a desirable fea ture of the programme. Accordingly, while she went about her bnsiness, I took a voiture and drove to the Hotel Dessin. There, in the course of half an hour, madam joined me. Xow, one can't very well partake of luncheon in kid gloves. The question as whether I should partake of mine with the ring on my finger, or whether I should put it carefully away in the bx and hide it out of sight. If you have any knowledge of what human nature t 21, especially when there's a pretty womin in the case, you will know the de cision arrived t. Madame pecked a little at this and that, but hardly ate moie than a sparrow might have done. How swiftly the min utes seemed to fly 1 I could have linger ed on in that cozy little room for a year When the cloth was drawn and we were left to ourselves, with a bottle of hock on tho table between us, somehow our chairs seemed to gravitate towards each other. Or, perhaps, it was the stove that attracted us, for the afternoon was chilly. In any case we found ourselves in closer proximity, 'men sua maciame. 'Do von smoke, monsieur? "les, con siderably more than is good for me, I am afraid." "Then smoke now. Oblige me. I like to see a gentleman smoke." I rose to get a cigar-case out of tho pock et of my overcoat. Madamo laid her hand lightly on my arm and what a charming hand it was! "Tenez. I am going to make a confession," said sho. I smoke, too moi. Cigarettes. I lived for several years in Spain, where nearly all the ladios smoke. You aro not shock ed at the idea of a lady smoking cigar ettes?" "Shocked, mndame "No. of course not. You are too much a man of the world. You are above such insular prejudices. Eh bien, you shall snioko one of my cigarettes." From the satchel by her side she drew an embroid ered ease which sho opened, ami bade me choose a cigarette." I did so, and she took another. Then with her own lair fingers she struck an allumetto, and held it. uliiln T litrhtod the weed. Then she lighted her own. She could not fail to son mv viiicr as sho litrhtod tho match. "I dare say you find the flavor a little peculiar," said madamo a minute or two later. "These cigarettes are made of per fumed tobacco. 1 never smoKO any oiu ers. I hope you don't find yours disa creoabla." "On tho contrary, madnme, I am quite in lnve with it. As vou say, the flavor is slightly peculiar, but aromatic and pleasant very pleasant." To tell the truth, I don't like it at all, but I wouldn't have said so for worlds. We smoked on in silence. W hat would tlii HiniPi-h creature sav to mo, I wor- rWf,l' if T were to tell her how madly had fallen in love with her? or would sho I gave a sudden start, and was shocked to find that I had been falling asleep. Fortunately madamo had not noticed me. Her large, melancholy eyes wero bent upon tho stove. There was certainly something very soothing, some thing that inclined to slumber and happy dreams, about niadame's peculiar cigar ettes. If I had but 2000 a year now, and this sweet creature to share it with me, how happy could I be! Certainly she must have been somo six or seven years oldor than myself, but I never was one to care lor your ciuvs or siuiuui kiiio who set up for being women beforo they aro out of their teens. Here was an angel u lin hail lxnn east on a bleak and unfeel mo' worl d. who had pined for a heart and a home for a heart that brimmed over with love. Gracious goodness! I had a heart that yearned toward her that that why, eh how was this? And where was . , xi I awoke with a shiver. But for the onnvf-vnnl Hie room would have been quite dark. My head was aching fright fully. I got up and Btaggered to the window. When 1 looked our, anu saw ti.n f.miiliar enurt-vard. everything came back to me like a flash of light. Where was madame? Why had I slept so long? WW. a lmnr sho must take me to be? I groped for the bell and rang it violently. Up came a waiter with acandlo. "Where is madame?" I demanded. "Madame, ho answered, "went out -nearly three hours ago, saying she wanted to make a few purchases, and would be back in a little while, un no account, ud buiu, wna liov lirnther. who had suffered tern bly from mnl de mer in crossing, to bo dis turbed.

"Because she was paid to do so. lie cause she was hired by me, through the agency of a private inquiry office, to act as she did act. Madame, by profession, is not a thief, but a thief-cnteher. lou hail grown so half-conceited of late, Master Ned, you had got such a mighty tall opinion of yourself and your abili ties, that I thoupslit that it would do you no harm to take you down a peg or two. I hope I have succeeded in convincing vou that there are people in the world "quite as clever, or it may be cleverer, than a certain young nincompoop of one-and-twenty years. If you will profit by the lesson, my money will have been well spent." An hour or two later I said: But wasn't it rather a risky thing to do with a ring worth j00 ?"

Every time two women meet on the -i J v;. tho thermometer sinks BLTCCfc BUU mw, . seventeen degrees and pcopi" hnstle around dowv and bank up their cellar win - Tho onlv character in which Mine, de Maintenon becomes really lovablo is as a school mistress. Her first foundation at Kueil was chiefly for poor children, and to do her justice, she loved and tended them as carefully as ever sho did the young ladios of St. Cyr; but in the end the greater anu moro ansiocraue es tablishment swallowed up the less. Her children are to be well fed ; to have as much bread as they can eat. This sho inSlSTS UU BUVU1U1 UlllUO. -liU'J UIU kJJ warmly clad, in uniform, if possible, for Mme. de Maintenon loves order in all things; but if the expense would bo great he will bo content with a partial one as that all tho girls should wear tho same headdress and aprons, or handkerchiefs of the same cut and color. She wishes them to bo gayly dressed, and indeed this elemont of brightness and choorful ness is a leading feature ih her schemo of education. "I think tho black aprons very lugubrious," sho writes to Mme. do llrinon; "lets give them green or nine serge." St. Cyr was brilliant with light and color and song. Madamo has a hearty contempt for "tho meannesses and littlenesses of convents." Sho wishes her dear children to grow up to be "rea s mnblo persons." They aro to live in tho world, and accordingly even their school frocks aro to be cut in the fashion and their "eoiffuir" to be that of the day. When tho so-callod "reform" took place at St. Cyr sho thought it very hard that "tho tailors were liencetorth exciuuea. We find muslins nndribbousand even "a ri nming ef laee" as part of the uniform. Nuy, peails and girdles were not un known. The education was as uncon ventual as tho dress. "A solid piety, far removed from tho trivialities of tho con vents, perfect freedom in conversation, an agreeable spirit of raillery in society, elevation in our religious feelings aud a great contempt for tho ways of other schools." Tho young ladies read Moliere and Scudery; tho religious world held up his hands in holy horror. There was a reaction for a time, but tho blow had been struck; a new ideal roso before the world, and tho sablo throno of Ignorance and lloutine received a shock from which it will never recover. Madame is always writing little notes to Mmo. do Brinou. Now it is to beg a holiday, now to an nounce a sudden visit and to ask "for some little treat for our Sisters of Char ity. Let mo seo them dino properly." When the children were ill she sends M. Fagon, the first physician in Europe, to prescribe for them and a whole list of curious remedies for their disorder. When they uro well sho despatches by bearer "one pot of butter and eight pots of jam," but tho careful soul begs to have her jam-pots returned, ami tho "demoiselles" are to get twice as much jam as the little peasants, for is not noble blood to be respected in all things? No wonder the children were free with her, as sho boasts with pardonable prido. Sho has a special fondness for tho naughty trirls. "I don't too much disliko," sho says, "what aro called naughty children I mean self -satisfied, boastful, quick tempered children, a little wilful and obstinate, for theso faults may bo cor reeted bv reason of pictv." However, they won't get theso rosaries they aro so anxious for, if they are not "ueuer man they wero Monday at work-time." They must Lnvo been better behaved when Madame wrote to the school mistress, "Haven't you some pastry-cook at Noisy or Bailly whom you cau help to a job when your children aro to have a colla tion?" The woman who habitually wrote and thought in this strain cannot have been altogether bad and heartless, ns her enemies would havo us believe. It is in trifles like these, whero thero can bo no hope of publicity and no desiro to de ceive, that we can best discern tho natu ral working of Mme. do Maintenon's heart. ' These thincs which seem noth ing and which aro nothing really mark character too much to bo overlooked." This pregnant sentence from her arch foe must bo our apology, and with it we closo our article on ono of the most inter esting characters in modern history. Bangor Whig: "The sweetest voice ever heard, said tho Bishop, "was a wo; man's. It was soft and low, but penc trating, musical and measured in its accents but not precise. Wo were on a steamer and she murmured some com monplace words abont tho scenery, do not remember what sho said, but can never forget the exquisitely tender, musical voice.
