The ,tIiunp was already lighted in the elraw-jjlng-room; the door to the terrace stood open. He paused upon the threshold Itojhear a man s voice say: ' will entice him here with an old Russian folks song lie used to love. If 'ever so deep in study it was sure .tojbring him. 1 will sec if it still has jibe olden power." 'tffA. tall, slender fijjrrrc seated itself le Iforc the piano, and a rich, cultured Sritone sang in Russian the song of .fto "Three Span." intrancing as were the tones, they lid not divert Marianne from her irrochet-wofk. She sat at the round Stable, her full, rcd-cheoked face un- i, Tmovcd as usual. Arnim's glance swept , '.Tjpast her. Where was Tapillon? She i .7 sat drawn up upon the sofa in the win- 'iSKlrm' ivrs. lnr lip.iil linnt. forward. land listened intent, almost breathless. ln the wide-open eyes, the naive aston ishment of the child was blent with the vrlmti-.ittnn nf tlu nnnriMMiitlvn wonuin. jFrom the lips of the singer the stream tof melody poured calm and full. fHeine's song of the troubadour, Bert- tram ue uorn, met ine ear oi uie llistener in tlie doorway. His "Welcome Hilmar!" fell almost like a discord into the midst of these beautiful tones. THE WELCOME. The singer broke off with a shrill ac cord, and springing up cried: " Annm, dear old friend! Marianne gazed in surprise at her cousin, aim seemed displeased at his late return. Rut Papillon grasped his arm and cried, exeitcdlv: "You are ' mliere at last, uncle! We thought you Khad "rot lost in the forest." Then she gazed at him with glowing face, and burst into tears. This remarkably tender reception pleased and touched him. "I believe mv friend's sinjrinir lias made von nerv ous,' lie said, smiling. "Hilmar, how could you thus disturb the peace of this house?" Tho two friends then embraced, and Arnim added: " Now we will go lo my study and smoke un til Marianne summons us to supper. Papillon will help my cousin." "How glad I am to be here," said Hilmar, taking his friend's arm. "The ladies in your absence displayed your German homo in its fairest light. Later 1 vo will continue our festival of song. Auf Wicdcrschcn !" As tho study door closed behind tho two men, Hilmar asked: "Rut where is your little girl?" "Marianno introduced j-ou to her. "Wo call her Papillon. She was deeply amoved by your singing. My cousin and l are unmusical, nut uesireu is 3 Tory susceptible) to all artistic impres sions. In this resncct sho is more $ French than German." "Do you call her a child? Well, if that means a being of unspoiled fresh ness and grace, sho is certainly a child. Hut you will allow mo to treat your Papillon as a grown woman?" "Certainly, but do not show her gal lantry which sho will not understand. She has lived in a subordinate place as governess, poor little thing! and is just beginning to recover from the pressure. Leave her in peace, I implore you! Now let us speak of j-ourself. You do not seem strong. Wo must tiy and make you well. You must remain hero so that I can watch over you. I demand from you perfect obedience. My first prescription is reef Ivan entered, and with ecstatic grins announced in Russian that sup per was ready. What a delight to meet somo one lie could address in his native tonguo! In spite of Marianno's secret misgiv ings and doleful prophecies to Desiree, tho supper was excellent. The table was charmingly arranged as usual, and it contained ouo unusual adornment, a glass of flowers and sprays from the gardeu, arranged with great tasto by .Desircc. Hilmar took a carnation from tho glass and placed it in his but-Von-hnlc. At table ho showed himself a wonderful raconteur. His descrip tions of tho elegant circles of the Rus sian capital ami of the musical and ar tistic lifo thoro wore entrancing. Desircc listened in rapt attention, but aid little. Later, tho guost at Marianne's ro- uest. Bang 6omo more songs. As he so to withdraw, Deslroo asked: Is it diuleult this Russian lan guage?" So difficult that vour uncle never jwoiuu loam it. i myself despair of 1 mixing ii ourio jitti.i always spoke tho beloved German in her family, and in society pcoplo speak French." "I only wish to understand your Russian songs." "To-morrow I will translate them for you, MHo. Desircc." CHAPTER V. RINGS went on as usual in the house of the Rus sian doctor. De- siree took herdailv sketch-book, declaring that the forest and its environs offered an inex haustible store of interesting subjects. The terrace was his chosen place for aquarelle painting: in the twilight hours he sang to his own accompani ment on the piano. Marianne, who never allowed her hands to be idle, took refuge in her crochet work. Desiree' s wanderings with Arnim ceased :us tho gentlemen look frequent long walks together. The two women passed much of their time in the garden. "Uncle told you that our guest Hare led the usual frivolous life of rich young men in St. Petersburg," said Desiree one day to Marianne, as they sat together in the garden, and the young girl's deft lingers fashioned a breakfast cap of true Parisian elegance. "What did he mean by that?" she added, bending low over her work and blushing deeply. "He must have meant that the young baron had done little else than Hit from one ball and assembly to an other that he squandered much money and indulged in countless flirtations. One must not look deeply into the lives of men. There are few model men like my cousin." " But Ussikow looks melancholy and ill. I can not understand why he has found no woman to lovo him and be loved by him in return." " He has found plenty, dear child, but such love lasts on neither side." "A love that can not remain true is no love at all. This poor man has not found the lovo he sought," "Hilmar is not in the least to bo pitied, you foolish child. He is happy and content. He will somo day marry a rich wife. I do not understand why women think him handsome, lie can in no way compare with my cousin, who bus the only beauty needful in a man that of perfect health. "But uncle has gray hair and his whiskers beirin" "Tfiat is because ho has undergone so many fatigues," interrupted Mari anne, " because he still studies so hard. He is in all ways tho superior of Hilmar von Ussikow. Now let me try on the cap before the glass. It is charming. But that ribbon over the top must come off. It looks too coquet tish for me." The same hour found Hilmar and Arnim roaming through the forest, and talking over Hilniar's choice of his fut ure home. "The physicians recommend the environs of Lako Geneva," said the ui valid. "That is the best air for your nerves," replied Arnim. "In winter you can go over the Alps to Lake Como. With proper care and the right atmflsphere you may soon be restored to perfect health. Most of all, you need rest." "Wherever I have sought rest it has seemed that of the church-yard. How happy you are. What a housekeeper you have in Marianne." "Does sho please you?" "I envy the man to whoso comfort she ministers." "Then woo and win her. She may be tho wife you need." "Possibly. But hero wo aro in my favorite haunt, tho forest-meadow. Just look at that enchanting group of old beeches! Trees grow more beauti ful and interesting with age. Pity it is not so with men! I wonld like to sketch a little here." "Then I will go back to the house. Do not. stay out late, Hilmar." Arnim Elbthal walked slowly home; moderate as was his step, his heart beat violently. Ho half regretted hav ing so spoken to his friend, yot the thought that Desiree might ono day take Marianno's placo in his houso fill ed him with a quiet happiness. Where could sho bo more safely guarded, more lovingly cherished this precious jewel of his lost Hortonso than In the vine-wreathed house whore hor mother had passed such halcyon hours? "Heaven has arranged all," cried a voice in his heart, "we havo but to calmly wait." From this day the doctor seemed more absorbed in his work. Hilmar was given over mostly to tho society of Marianne and Desiree. It gave him pleasure to know that his guest took daily walks with tho two women, that lie sat with them on the terrace, reading aloud by tho hour, that his conversation was mostly with Marianne. What would Papillon say when called upon to greet Manannt aa Hilmar's betrothed? The morning shadows foil obliquely on tho strawberry bed, a light wind was stirring. P.ipillon went with a UttlolnwKe'V on her arm to gatner the wonted store. Sho had thrown back her straw hat. Her brow was thought ful, her head bent forward. Stops ap proached. ' "May I help, Desiree?" asked Hil mar's voice She turned toward him a faco suf fused with blusluts, and placed her foiolinger on hor lip. "Hush!" sho whispered. "I will show you a happy family." W" 1 while the "&jt'&l&' Kwt wandered forth with his LSI . " ' V 0 fMFT raw "Ill'Sll!" SHE WHISl'KUKl). lie a'rew nearer. Looking sideways over her shoulder, he met two round bird-eyes, fearless and yet entreating. A ground-sparrow was feeding hot young while her mate looked on from a bush near by. "Why do you think this little brood bo happy?" he whispered, in French. "Because they have a home a father and mother." Something in tho voice and glance ol the young girl moved him deeply. "Aro you not sheltered hero as in your father's house?" he asked. "Certainly. But it is a refuge no home. Still I am more than grateful. Now let us observe this little family. The mother-bird gazes at you as if she would say: 'I know you will do mo no harm.' " "That is becauso I am with you," said Ussikow. "O no! Children and animals have an instinct in these things. It is be cause you aro a good man, and would not harm any living creature." "Do you really think mo good?" She looked at him with dilated eyes, and said, simply: "You aro a friend of Arnim Elbtlial." "But it is tho naturo of man to laj low all that stands in tho path of his ambition and his dreams." "Ho lays low only to build up anew,' paid Desircc. "How many a little nest is destroyed by man's hand how many a home full of peace and joy. Ask the mothors they will tell you It is so. A strangei enters tho united family circle, the heart of tho daughter, tho precious, carefully guarded jewel of tho house. inclines to him lovo rends it iron: father and mother the domestic hap piness has an end. Tho beloved chile goes forth with tho stranger m fulhll ment of tho command of Holy Writ 'Thou shalt forsake father and mothei and clevo unto thy husband.' " A shudder passed over tho 3'ouni. girl's form she trembled like the sap ling in a sudden gust of wind. Ther. sho said, calmly: "Thic must bo so il lovo is what 1 Imagine it." "What does Papillon know of lovo?" asked Hilmar, gravely, his dark oyei seeking to fathom the lovely faco before him. "My mother had an old book about love. It was written by Constance Salm, a Princess whoso father lived .il tho court of poor Louis XVI. and hi beautiful Antoinette. She calls love the fever of the soul, and passion iti delirium. She declares also that the experiences of a woman in this mos important chapter of her lifo can b understood only by women." "I know this book. It once fol into my hands and I reael it through It is beautiful and noble, but its ideas o love are French ideas." "Is not lovo love cvcrj'whero, ane just the same?" askenl Desiree. Then slowly turning from tho nest, sh passed on with light steps. Hilnia remained at her side gazing elown a the boweel head, with glowing foreheai and throbbing heart. "17"' ENOUGH OV UEItnY-I'ICKINa. "As j'ou have read tho Princes. Salm's book, yon must know he favorito song the ono sho learnei from her mother," ho said. "It ux presses infinite yearnings In a few simple words." "Yes. and I know tho mcloely Mamma taught it to me." And, lighth as u bird, sho warbled the iirst twi lines: "Comma le jour me duro Passer loin Ue toll" "Sho may oro long know by experi ence what tho peetsung," ho thought, lost in contemplation of this youthfu' form There was something so touch, lug, so original, so almost childlike it her whole personality, in thoexpresslnr of her face, that it seemed impossible for tho waves of passion to ever brtial at her feet. Ami yet what blossedncw to awaken this heart U lovo! Thoy had reached tho strawberry bed a mass of glowing reel amoiij green leaves. Deslroo gavo a little or; of elellght. Sho was again Papillon.

In New Orleans Times- Democrat. Trying to IUforn tlie World. Mrs. Elizabeth Ceuly Stanton recently told a story nbout the way in wtiirh she began tier work of reforming the world. Vlin she was a girl of 10 or I'J, slio used to see her father, Judge Cady, administering Ian from the bench. Sho noticed thut the judge, in laying down tho law or giving bis decision, always referred to bis law books for guidance. Sho sot to work In his library rending these, books, and ns sho thought lie could not say anything but what ho found there, sho care fully tore out and Imrneil those Kiges that contained principles of decisions of which slio disapproved. How could he, whiU on the bench during n trial, uinko application of anything not to bo seen in tho books by which ho was guided f She discovered a great deal tlint was otfensivo in overy law book that sho iusMcted in his library (Jut emtio tho pages, which she cast into the tiro until tho book suited her, ami sho telt sure that her father would Ikj compelled to coiillne himself to such law ns sho left.
