five or thirty years through tho clamors
of tho advocates on his circuit, ho had
obtained iho favor of withdrawing to his

Monsieur Zaeliarina was approaching

other distraction than to cultivate a few
flowers and road tho morning paper.
Tliia was well enough for a tinio, but
there caino a morning when the world
vemed a blank, llo said to himself
that he needed something moro exciting
than to watch flower pots in a window
and befog himself in the mazes of stupid
polities. Ho waa very thoughtful for
ome days, but ono evening, after sup.

"1 have it; 1 will go fishing," he cried,
clapping his hands to loud (hat Theresa
called out from the next room: "What

The idta thus suddenly born proved
to fi a stubborn ono, and tho morning
on which Monsieur Soiler first set out,
provided with a polo, a big straw hat, a
fishing bag and other accessories, was a
veritable allair of state. Thcrese was
greatly displeased at th s new turn in

had moments of impatience, ami was
obliged to go to confession twice oftcnor
dur.ng a month than had been her cus

to conform to the now order of things.
For example, whenever monsieur was
acied wilh a dosire to go fishing, the
excellent man, who deplored to himself
Id feebleness, would look up at tho skv,
and say with a melancholy sliako of the
head: "It Is very tine this morning,

silent valley. He had sat thus for an
hour, whon something like a volley of

"What Is that?" demanded he in

"Charlotto, Charlotte, it ia I," re

Zacharias trembled, and as he listoned

"I am here," said the old man, turn

with a ra sed voice, the youth said in a
loud whisper: "In the name of Heaven

"Yeri Foorster never told mo any
