BT IABAH OB.SE JKWETT.
The town of Dulbam was not used to
seeing; foreigners of any sort, or to
beamier their voices in its streets, so
that it was in some sense a matter of
public interest when a Canadian fam
ily was reported to have come to the
white house by the bridge. This I
house, small and low-storied, with a
bushy little parden in front, had been ,
standing empty several months. Usual-1
ly when a house was left tenantless in
Dulham it remained so and fell into
decay, and, after some years, the cin
namon rose bushes straggled into the
cellar and the dutiful grass grew over
the mound that covered the chimney
bricks. Dulham was a quiet place,
where the population dwindled stead
ily, though such citizens as remained
bad more and more reason to think it
as pleasant as any country town in
the world.
Some of the old men who met
every day to talk over the town affairs
were much interested in the new
comers. They approved tbe course of
the strong-looking young Canadian
laborer, who had been quick to seize
upon his opportunity; one or two of
them had already engaged him to make
their gardens and to do odd jobs, and
were pleased with his quickness and
willingness. He had come afoot one
day from a neighboring town, where
he and his wife had been made ill by
bad drainage and factory work, and
saw the little house, and asked the
postmaster if there was any work to
be had out of doors that spring in Dul
ham. Being assured of his prospects,
he reappeared with his pale, bright
eyed wife and little daughter the very
next day but one. This startling
promptness had given time for but few
persons to hear the news of a new
neighbor, and as one after another
came over the bridge and along the
road there were many questions asked.
The house seemed to have new life
looking out of its small-paned win
dows; there were clean white curtains,
and china dogs on the window sills,
and a blue smoke in the chimney the
spring sun was shining in at the wide
open door.
There was a chilly east wind on an
April day, and the elderly men were
gathered inside the post office, which
was also the chief grocery and dry
goods store. Each was in his favorite
armchair, and there was the excuse of
a morning fire in the box stove to make
them form again into the close group
that was usually broken up at the ap
proach of summer weather. Old Capt
Weathers was talking about Alexis,
the newcomer (they did not try to pro
nounce his last name), and was saying
for the third or fourth time that tbe
more work you set for the Frenchman
the better pleased he seemed to be.
"Helped "em to lay a carpet yesterday
at our house, neat as wax," said the
captain, with approval. "Made the
garden in the front yard so it hasn't
looked so well for years. We're all go
in' to find him very handy; he'll have
plenty to do among us all summer,
oueiu to kuow what you want tbe
minute you p'int, for he can't make ou
very well with his English. I used to
be able to talk considerable French in
my early days when I sailed from
southern ports to Havre and Bordeaux,
but I don't seem to recall it now very
well. He'd have made a smart snilor,
Alexis would, quick an' willing."
"They say Canada French ain't spoke
the same anyway," began the captain's
devoted friend, Mr Ezra tipooner, by
way of assurance, when the store door
opened and a bright little figure stood
looking in All the gray-headed men
turned that way, and every one of them
smiled.
"Cume right in, dear," said the kind
hearted old captain.
They saw a charming little creature
about six years old, who smiled back
again from under her neat bit of a hat;
be wore a pink dress that made her look
still more like a flower, and she said:
"Hon Jour" prettily to the gentlemen
as she passed. Henry Staples, the storo
keeper and postmaster, rose behind tbe
counter to serve hi customer as if t-lie
had been a que-n, and took from her
hand the letter he brought, with the
amount of it postage folded up in a
warm uu of newspaper.
The captain and his friend looked on
with admiration.
Give her a piece of candy no, give
it me an I'll giv It to her," said the
captain, eagerly, reaching for his cane
ami leaving hi chair with more than
usual agihty; and everybody looked
on while he took a striped stick of pep-
prrnntii from the storekeeper and of
icrea 11 gallantly. There was acme-
thing- in the way this favor was ac
cepted that aavored of the French
court and made every man in the store
a lover.
The child not only made a quaint

with childish eagernraa fur the nnei-
peeled delight, but h stepped for
ward and kiftted the captain.
There wa a murmur of delight at
thi charruimg courtesy; not a man
there would not have liked to find
ome riciiae for walking away with
her, and tlnre wa a general sigh
a she shut the door behind her and
liMiked tt'k through the glaaa with a

"That' little French Mry. Alexl'

to prurlaim hi advantage of previous
acquaintance. "rh came here yester
day and did an errand for her mother

ing and walked to the manufacturing
town whence they had come, to go ti
mass; at the end of the summer, whe
they felt prosperous, they sometime
hired a horse and wagon and drov
there with the child between them.
Dulham village was the brighter ami
better for their presence, and the few
old-fashioned houses that knew them
treasured them, and French Mary
reigned over her kingdom with no re
volt or disaffection to the summer's
end. She seemed to fulfill all the du
ties of her childish life by some exquis
ite instinct and infallible sense of fit
ness and propriety.
One September morning, after tht
first frost, the captain and his frieiid
were sitting in the store with the dooi
shut. The captain was the last comer
"I've got bad news," he said, anti
they all turned toward him, appre
hensive and forewarned.
"Alexis says he's going right away'
(regret was mingled with the joy o
having a piece of news to tell). "Ye?
Alexis is going away; he's packing uj
now, and has spoken for Foster's ha.
cart to move his stuff to the railroad.'
"What makes him so foolish?" sah
Mr. Spooner.
"He says his folks expect him ir
Canada; he's got an aunt livin' then
that owns a good house and farm, am
she's gittin' old and wants to hav
him settled at home to take care o
her."
"I've heard these French folks only
desire to get forehanded a little, and
then they go right back where they
come from," said some one, with an air
of disapproval.
"He says he'll seDd another man
here; he knows somebody that will be
glad of the chance, but I don't seem to
like the idea so well," said Capt.
Weathers, doubtfully. "We've all go
00 uaeu 10 Aiexis ana his wife; the;
know now where we keep everythin
and have got to be so handy. Strang,
they don't know when they're well off
1 suppose it's natural they sbouh.
want to be with their own folks. TheL
there's the little girl."
At this moment the store door was
opened and French Mary came in. She
was dressed in her best and her eyes
were shining".
"I go to Canada in ze cars!" she an
nounced joyfully, and came dancing
down between the two long counter
toward her regretful friends; they hac
never seen her so charming.
Ajguiuout auu regret were imr.
Bible the forebodings of elderly men
and their experience of life were of no
use at that moment, a gleam of youth
and hope was theirs by sympathy in
stead. A child's pleasure in a journej
moves tbe dullest heart; the captain
was the first to find some means of ex
pression. "Give me some o' that best candy for
her," he commanded the storekeeper
"So, take a bigger piece of paper, auu
tie it up well."
"Ain't she dressed a little thin?" said
gruff Mr. Spooner, anxiously, and for
his part he pointed the storekeeper t
a small plaid shawl that hungovei
head and stooped to wrap it himsel
about the little shoulders.
"1 must get the little gitl something,
too," said the minister, who wa
grandfather and had just come in fo:
his mail. "What doyoj like best. in
dear?" and French Mury pointed shyly,
but with instant decision, at a blu.
silk parasol, with a white handle,
which wus n mvhat tbe wore fot
haviug Wen openly displayed all sum
mer. The minister bought it with
pleasure, like a country boy at a fair,
and put It Into her hand.
French Mary kikaod the minister
with rapture, and gave him her hand
to shake, then she put down the para
eol and ran and climWd Into the old
captain' lap and hugged him with
both anna tight round hi neck. She
thought for a moment whether ahc
should klk Mr. Ezra hjHMiner or not.
but happily she did not decide again
it, and said an affectionate good-by u
hint and all the rrst Mr. Maple
bimikulf came out from Whlnd the
counter to ay farewell and Wttow
otue raisin. They all followed her
to the door and ttood wttch ng while
he tucked her bundle under her arm
and raised the new parasol and walked
away down the treet In the chilly au
tumn morning. Mie had taken hi
