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.

And mounting the six steps before tho door he cried out: "Christina, Christina, run to tho cellar, Jud"e Zacharias Seiler has come to repose un der our roof." j At this a very little old woman, with a figure as stiff as a ramrod, but still fresh and imiling, appeared upon tho threshold and disappeared Immediately, murmuring: 1 "Oh, deart Is It possible!

' "Ah, my good people," said Zach rias, "in truth vou receive me too kindly." , , ".Monsieur," repliod the forester, "if you forgot the good you hare done others do not " Well, if the truth must be told.

"IJaino Christ na," replied Zacharias, 'vou Possess ft treasure. Mniliiiiriull Charlotte merits all I have said of her."

At this time the good man seated himself, drunk with hope, his el bow on tne window-sill, his eyes wide open, and hearing as in a dream the frogs croaking under the moon In the silent valley. He had sat thus for an hour, whon something like a volley of pebbles, or of dry peas, rattled asalnst tlio window-glass and aroused him with a start. "What Is that?" demanded he in low tono, rail ng the window a little. "Charlotto, Charlotte, it ia I," re plied a tender voice. Zacharias trembled, and as he listoned with staring eyes, the foliage stirred. and a young man stepped out into tho moonlight. The old man raised him self indignantly, and threw tho window wide open "Have no fear, Charlotto," said the new comer, "I come to toll you good news, juy latnor will bo hero to-morrow to arrange with Yeri Foorster about our wedding. Receiving no response he asked alter a niinuto: "Where are you, Charlotte?" "I am here," said the old man, turn ing very pa'e and looking fixedly at his rival. And as tho judge began to speak with a ra sed voice, the youth said in a loud whisper: "In the name of Heaven do not cry out." I am not a thief. I am Charlotte's bethrothed." "Yeri Foorster never told mo any thing about this, the wretch!" gasped Zacharias. "No, ho does not know yet that we are betrothed. Ho said when 1 asked his consent that his daughter was too young; that I must wait. Hut we have engaged ourselves, anyhow. I hava told my father, and ho is coming to morrow to seo Yeri, and, as I knew it would please Charlotto to hear this, I thought I would stop undor her window and tell her the news."
