close set lip and anxious eyes; a bent,
little old man who could do nothing
but play the organ. And the bride- '

the bent old servant had remained .

too slow to be of assistance. Aud now ;
It was morning a pi in.

the chapel. Aunt Marguerite saw him
as he entered the pate. She was wait

She cried softly: I
"My poor brother?' j
-Come, mn'm'.elle." said Louise; j
"one must not give up hope that she
has been safe all the time."
"Safe:' eiclaimed Mile, de Valette.
"Little Madeleine alone in the forest!
And all 1 may do is to pray that my
brother has found herT"
Louise shruig-d her bent shoulders. '
"That cold blooded M. liaoul there
he does not need any one to pray
for him: See him: Uow calmly be .

up the search pretty early, eh? Ah. '
that Is one sort of bridegroom: And
1 think If one sort of misfortune has
befallen bm he deserves It."
"One sort of misfortune." repeated
Mile, de Valette. "What do you mean
by "oae sort of misfortune J" '"
"I have my ideas," replied .old
Louise sa-ely. "Now It is mure than
twenty-four hours that Mile. Made

Why did she do that? Was it be
cause she did not HUe this marriage, '
perhaps? You want the answer. I "
think you can see it, sitting on the
porch yonder."
"Silence." commanded Mile, de Va

The " old servant watched her go. i
Bhe did not see M. Raoui de Valette
as be left his chair upon the porch
and came toward her. He was be
side her when, at length, she repeated
to herself:
"Fool."" j
He said, smiling at ber shoulder:
"1 trust you address yourself, good ;
woman."
She turned.
"It might be that I spoke to the
blind. M. itaoul." j
"And who is blind here?"
She shrugged her shoulders. i
"All of you perhaps," she returned.
"Because we have not found Mile.
Madeleine ?'
"Perhaps because you search only In
the woods for her."
He asked slowly:
"Where do you think we should look
for her?"
She answered deliberately:
"Nowhere where you are, M'sieur
, Raoui."
"Then." he said musingly, "you do
not think that she la lost."
"Oh, maybe."

"1 find the Idea singularly unflatter

himself face to fai-e with Father
O'Mara. tired of face, with broad
shoulders bowed a little.
"You bring good news. 1 trust, sir?"

O'Mara shook his bend.

close to him and was looking at bin)
with his grim eyes.
"M. Raoui de Valette." he said, his
voice low and tense, "yon sneak of a
demoiselle De Vnlette. I could forget
that you are my cousin: I cannot for
get that you are a guest In my honse."
He turned on his heel and left hint,
and Father O'Mara followed.
Raoui de Vulette watched them go.
He smiled a little, flickering from silk
en hose with cambric handkerchief an
imaginery hit of dust. The sound of
singing came to blm. It was a voice
tbat he knew. He listened to the
words:
"I'ete de nult est le tempe le plus.
Pour lesctseaux imanu qui cherchant le
repose.
Le coucou a vole le nld de I'orlor.
Pauvre p'tlt marl!

He repeated the words, translating:
"In summer at night the matins Is best.
At twilight they're winging their way
borne to rest.
The cuckoo has stolen the oriole's nest.
Poor little husband!
Poor oriole!"
And then she came following ber
song. She saw him; she stopped; the
mocking smile was on her hps.
He said sternly:
"1 told you to go!"
She returned with great pretense of
sympathy of concern:
"Ah. my Raoui: Could I leave you
alone, unprotected, among these peo
ple! They might fool you. They might
marry you. after all. to that little one
who yesterday was a child:"
"What do you know of her?' he de
manded swiftly.
She laughed wildly.
"M'sieur Itaoul de Valette Is quite an
old gentleman!" she cried. "Quite an
old gentleman!" Her mirth rang loud.
"If M. de Valette bears that you
know anything of his daughter," be
said through bis teeth, "he'll not stop
at half measures to get it out of you."
Again she laughed, this time scorn
fully. "Half measures!" she repeated.
"They are not needed. 1 came to tell.
Only I stop to observe that M. Raoui
is not half so young and not nearly
so pretty as"
"As whom?' he demanded violently.
She looked at him over one rounded
shoulder tantalizingly.

The Festive Codfish.
A correspondent of the New Tork i
Tost says that the codlish frequents I
"the tablelands of the sea.". The cod
fish no doubt dftcs thin to secure as
nearly as possible a dry. bracing at
mosphere. This rure air of the sub
marine tablelands gives to the codlish
that breadth of chest and depth of
lungs that we have so often noticed.
The plad. free smile of the codfish is
largely attributed to the exhilaration
of this oceanic altiioodleuiu. The cor
respondent further says that the "cod
fish subsists largely on the sea cherry."
Those who have not had the pleasure
of seeing the codfish climb the cherry
tree In search of food or clubbing the
fruit from the heavily laden brauches
with chunks of coral have missed a
very fine sight. The codfish when at
home rambling through the submarine
forests does not wear his vest unbut
toned as he does while loafing around
the grocery stores of the United States.

A High Priced Fricassee.
Lord Alvuulcy. a noted wit nud high

party golug up the Thames. Being
one of a dozen men dining together at
a Loudon club where each was re
quired to produce his own dish. Alvan

the advantage of being entertained
free of cost. This benefit was gained
at an expense of $540, that being the
price of a simple fricassee composed
entirely of the "uois." or small pieces
at each side of the back, taken from
thirteen kinds of birds, among them
being 100 snipe. 40 woodcocks nud 20
pheasants lu all about 300 birds.
