One evening the doctor came homo
later than usual from his Walk. 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:

'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

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

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.

"I only wish to understand your

"To-morrow I will translate them

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."

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

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

and throbbing heart.
