One cloudy afternoon, toward tbud o'

"Madame lllouet, air."
Iloinville rose eagerly to greet hi visitor,
and iu.iiird, with a alight bluali, fur her

"She i very well, ir," wa the answer,
"and your visit brought ber lurk; ahe re

"Do you go soon''
"In January, (jood-by, sir; you hav
been very kind to u, and Claudott begged
me to thank you in her name."
The deputy governor was thunderstruck,
aud answered ouly In monosyllables, and
wbeu the good woman had left blm he sat
motionless for a lot.g time with his bead in

That night he slept badly, and th next
day wa very taciturn w ith his employe.

"I have come to see, not your grand

and then hi thro.it accmcd to chaw and he
could baldly s-uk.
"You are going away next moullir" b

Tte girl noililed assent.
"Are you not norry to leave PoriPH
"Y'l-a, indeed, I um. It grieve me to
think of it; but then, this ositlon Is a
fortune to us, and grandmother will be
able to live in pence for the rest of her

"Suppose I should offer you the mean
of remaining in I'arii, at the same time
assuring comfort to Madame liloueU"
"Oil, air!" i-xrluiniitl tho young girl, her

She wit silent, but there was no mistak
