I reciprocate your gool evening, mid I trwst to tint) you improved In temper, dress, manners aud appear ance the next time I have the honor of meeting you. Ooodby, M. Cuillnuiue." These scraps of dialogue were inter changed on n lovely summer evening lu the year 17) before tlie back door of a house which stood ou the banks of the Heiue about three .miles westward of the city of Kotien. Tho one sia-aker was lean, old, crabbed and slovenly; the other was plump, young, oily man nered and dressed lu the most gorgeous livery ruKtutuc.of the period. The hist days of genuine dandyism were then rapidly approaching lu Prance. Valet Justin was In his own way dressed to perfection, a living illustration of tho expiring glories of bis epoch. After the old servant had gone the valet occupied himself for a few min utes lu superciliously contemplating the, bock view of the house before which be atocil. Jmlglug by the win dows. It did riot con Uil n inure than six or eight roon . Instead of stables nud outhouses there were n conservatory attached to ti e building ou one side und n long, low room, built of wood, gayly painted, on tfie other, due of the win dows of this room was left uncurtain ed, and through It could be seen oil a sort of dresser inside bottles of strange ly colored liquids, oddly shaped utensils of brass it ml copper, one end of a fur nace nud other objects, which pro claimed that the apartment was used us n laboratory. "Think of our bride's brother amus ing himself la Niich a place as that with cooking drugs lu saucepans," muttered Justin, peering Into the room,. "I n nt the least particular man In the world, but I must say I wish we were not going to le conuected by marriage . with an amateur apothecary. Halt! I cau smell the place through the win dow!" With these words the valet turned from the lab'irutory In disgust nud nauntcred toward the cliffs overhang ing the river. Arrived lit the summit, the vvholo view of the Seine, with Its lovely green islands, itn batiks fringed with trees. Its gliding boats and little scattered waterside cottages, opened before him. Westward, where the level country ap peared beyond tlie farther banks of the river, the landscape was aglow with the crimson of the setting stm. Eastward the long shadows nud mel low Intervening lights, the red glory that quivered on tho rippling water, the steady ruby fire glowing on the cot tage windows that reflected the level" sunlight, led the eye onward and on ward along the winding of the Seine until It rested upon the spires, towers and broadly massed houses of Kou en, with the Wooded hills rising be yond them for background. Lovely la look upou at any time, the view was most beautiful now under tlie gorgeous , evenlug light I At little hollow, beyond which tho ("round sloped smoothly to the b.-lnk of the cliff, three persons an eldeily lady, a gentleman and .a young girl were seated on a bench watching the sunset. Near them stood two gentlemen. "There they are still Mine, Danville, la the same place on the seat; my mus ter, tho bridegroom, dutifully next to her; Mile, liosc, the bride, bashfully next to litu; M. Trudalue, the ama teur apothecary brother, and M. I.n lnaitie, our queer hind stewrrl, olll clally In waiting on the whole party. Ther they all are wasting their tiinn ID looking at nothing! Yes,' con tinued Justin, lifting bis eyes wearily, "locking at nothing all this while." If the valet had ventured near the re prisons whom be bad been npos tronhizlng from a distance, and If lis had iwcn oscscd of a little renne meiit of observation, he could hnnll have failed to notice that the bride and brldi groom of the morrow nnd their companion were I i a greater or less degree under tlip lull Hem of sonic secret restraint which affected their con vendition, :clr gestures nnd even the expression of their faces. Mme. Danville, handsome, richly dressed, with bright eyes uud a suspicions man ner, Icokcd happy enough as long as her attention was fixed on her son, but when she turned toward the bride an mieasiiiess roitld Is; disocriiol, which deepened to ixislthe distrust whenever ROSE or 1 , . .' vV.V.:.

Iu the eai.ie way her son. who was all smiles and happiness wlille be was speaking with bis future wife, nltoretl visibly In manner .and look whenever looking at M. Trudalue. Lomaque, the land steward -uulet, Bharp, skinny Louaqne, with the sub missive manner ond red rimmed eyes never looked nt Ids master's future brother lu-law w ithout appearing un easy and would begin drilling holes in the grass with bis long, sharp pointed cane. Even tho bride, tlie pretty Inno cent girl, Willi her childish shyness of manner, seemed to be affected like the others. Ioubt seemed to overshadow her face from time to time, and the band which her lover held trembled a little when sho accidentally caught her brother's ye. Yet there was nothing to rejsl In the look ami munuer of the person whose mere presence seemed to exercise such an Iniluenee over the wedding party. Louis Trudnino was handsome. IIi expression was kind and gentle, bis. manner winning nud frank. Ills words seemed cs unlike ly to give offense as his loots, and be spoke only In courteous reply to questions directly addressed to blm. Nevertheless, modest and self restrain ed as he was. there Mas u reproving or saddening influence lu his presence which affected tho spirits of every o:io near blm and darkened the eve of the wedding to bride and bridegroom. "Hose," suid Charles, "that magnifi cent sunset is a good omen of our mar riage; it promises another lovely day toluorrow. "Do you really believe in omens?" asked Itose laughingly. "My dear," interposed the mother be fore her son. could answer, "If Charles does believe In omens it Is nothing to laugh at. When you are his wife, yu will know better than to confound blm with the common herd. All bis convic tions are well founded so well that If I thought he really did believe lu omens I should most nssuredly mnku up my mind to believe In them too." "I beg your pardon, madame." Itose began tremulously. "I only nieaut" "My dear child, hove you so littlo knowledge of tho world as to supjiose that I could be offended" "Let Itose speak," snid the young, man. IIo petulantly turned to bin mother. t "Am I to blunic, Charles, for trying to mnke bcr worthy of you?" ." Her son only reiterated sharply, "Let Itose speak." "I really had nothing to sny," falter ed tho girl. "Oh, but you had!" There was such nn ungracious sharp ness In bis voice that the girl seemed frightened. A smile puckered up Lo ni in ue' s lean face as he looked demure- "There thev r.'l arc rv.-'.'- f'.o'r ime in lunlUll'J nt 1io.:.irfj! ly on the ground and bcsa:j drilllnr; a fresh hole in tlie turf.

"I was about to tnl;e uiioii niy-lf tlie blame of Hope's want of re spect for believers In omens bv con fessing that I l ave always etu ooraed ber to laugli nt superstition of every kind." "Yon a rldlctiliT of s'tpersiltloT '." said Imuville, tiMiiliig kly n I . ! i i "You who have built a lulxirnu v y.

"More Jealous than ever of your tak ing her an ay from him!" whispered Mine. Danville lu her son's ear.

They sat on the bench vacated byvthe other tluve. - An awkwurd pause fol lowed. I.omaiiue was too discreet to for.-ret hi place and did not venture to start u pew topic. Truduiue was disinclined to talk, but It was necessa ry, iu common politeness, to say sonie thing. Hardly utteinllng himself to ula own word?,, ho said, "1 regret, M. Lo niaque, that wc have not bad more op portunities tr bettering our acquaint ance." " . "I foci di eplylndcbted," rejoined the land steward, "to the admirable Mine. Danville for bavins choucu uie as ber escort hither from lies sou estate near Lyons and having thereby pro cured f or mc the honor of this introduc tion.". - Lom.'tque'a red rimmed eye were ceized with a sudden lit of winking. Ills enemies were accustomed to uy( that whenever be was particularly lu fiincerc or particularly deceitful he took refuge In the weakness of bis eyes nud yo evaded the ordeal of being obliged to look tuendily nt the person with whom he was speaking. "I beard you mention my late fa ther's name In terms of high respect," continued Trudalpe, keeping up tho conversation. "Were you .well -quuinted with hliu'r" "I am indirectly Indebted to your ex cellent father." answered Loinaque, "for tlie situation which I now bold. At a time wheu the good word of a man of substiiucc and reputation was needed to save me from poverty and ruin your father spoke thut word. Since then I have. In my own small way, imeeceded In life until I huve riseu to the honor of superintending the estate of M. Danville." . "Your father, I believe, was a mer chant, us Danville's father was a mer chant. The only difference between them was that one failed aud the other realized a large fortune. Why iihould you speak of yourself ns honor ed by holding your present place?" "Have jvu never beard." exclaimed Loinaque, "or can yon have heard nnd forgotten. Unit Mme. Danville Is de ucended fnvn one of the uoble houses of France? Has sbt never told you, as she has often told ine, that she con descended wlien she married her late husband aud that ber greut object In life la to get tlie title of her family (years since extinct In the mule Unci gcttlcd on her son?" "Yes," replied Trudnino, "1 remem ber to bavu beard something of this, hut I paid no attention to It, having little sympathy with such aspirations. You have lived muny years In Dan ville's service, M. Loinaque. Have you" Ho hesitated a moment. "Have you found him a good and kind mas ter?" loumquc looked at bis host for an Instant; then his eyes got weak again. "You seem to hay smno special Inter est," he quietly remarked, "if I may say so without offense, In asking me that question." "I deal frankly with every one nt all hazards," returned Trudulne, "and, stranger ns you nn-, I will deal frankly with you. I acknowledge that I have au interest In asking that question the dearest, the teuderest of nil Inter ests." At those last words bis voice trenilihil for a moment, but he went on: "I'ioiii the beginning f my sister's engagement with Danville 1 made It my duty not to conceal my own feel lugs. My conscience and my affection for Itose counseled me to be fandld to the last, even though my candor should distress or offend others. When I first discovered thnf M. Danville's atten tions to Hose were not unfavorably re ceived, though it cost me a bard effort, I did not cou.-eal tuy astouishment from my sister." "Astonishment, did I hear yon say? Astonished, M. Trudnlne, that the at tentions of a young gentleman possess ed of all the graces and 'accomplish ments of a highly bred Frenchman MiouM be favorably received by a young lady! Astonished that such a dancer, such a singer, such a talker, neb a notoriously fascinating billies' man as M. Danville should succeed lu making some Impression on the heart of Mlh. KoaeT .omaque's eyes grew weaker than ever and winked luces- tantly. "When iu the course of time," contin ued Trudalue, 'paying no attention to the Interruption, "when the offer of mairiiige was r.iii'le and when I knew that Itose had 111 her own heart accent ed it, I did nr;t conceal my objec tions" "What objections?" Interposed Lo muque again. "What possible objec tions to a yt ing man so well bred and with an Immense fortune? I liar heard rf these objections. I know they havo made bad blood. What can they le?" "God know I have often tried to dis miss them from my mind as fanciful and absurd," s ild Trudalne, "but I havtt always fulled. I cannot descrilw In aria. i what my Impressions have been from the lirst of the master you serve. Let it be eiiough if I confide to you thut I cannot even now persuade my self of the sincerity of his attachment to my sister uud that I feel -In spite of myself, in spin- uf my earnest desire to put the in. ist Implicit confidence In Hose's choice a distrust of Ids charac ter nud tcmpvr. You have lived for yturs under the Fame roof with this lunu. you hfivr iM-en hi tu lu bis most unguarded aud private moment. I tempt you to betray no coiilhlenee.

"When we sat i fWn here, had bo thought of iraklutitltlriiuppeal, no Idea of talking to oil 1 Itu pursued the other. "My wort tiaj a eat-uts-d me tin-, wares.

My life, tuy clearest holies, my highest x levtutloiist hlVB bH-u centered In her. An uu.ku.artl pause 1nl lowed. T'was past Tlie period of "my boyhood when my mother put my little sister's hand In mine and said to me on her deathbed, 'Louis, be all to her thut I have been, for she has uo one left to look to but you.' Since then the loves and ambitious of other tucu have not been my loves aud ambitious. Itose has been the one aim of my life.

Eveu If her choice of a husband bad beeu my choice, the necessity of parting with ber would be hurd and bitter. As It la, think what my feeliugs must be on the eve of her marriage!", "Suppose," answered Lomuque, told you that yon wronged him, would my testimony really be strong enough to Bliuke opinions which have taken such firm root? Suppose, ou the other hand, thut my master bud his little"-' Lomaque hesitated "his little Infirmi ties, let me say, nnd suppose I have observed them and was willing to cou hdo them to you, what purpose would such a confidence answer now, with tho uiurriugA fixed for tomorrow? No, no! Trust tue" "I thank you. M. Lomaque," broke In Trudalne, "for reminding me that It is too late to make Inquiries. My sister hits chosen, and ou the subject of that choice my lips shall bcucefortu be sealed. 1 apologize, M. Lomaque, for having thoughtlessly embarrassed you by quei-tions which I had uo right to ask. . Let us return to the buuse. will allow you the way." Trudalue led the way hack to the house- lu silence, the land steward fol lowing slowly at a distance of several paces and talking In whispers to him self. "Ills father wag the saving of ine," muttered Lomaque, "That Is the truth, anil there Is no getting over that. His father was the saving cf we, and Jret here am I no, It's too late too late to speak, too lata to do anything!". .CII AFTER III. N ISvej GAR the bouse they were met . by the old servant, "My young lady bad sent me to Ciiisl call you In to coffee, mon sieur," said Uiiillatnne. "Sho has kept a cup hot for M. Lomaque." "For me!" exclaimed Inuaque. "Ma demoiselle has troubled berself to keep a cup of coffee hot for me?" "What Ih there so very surprising," Trudalne asked, "In such an ordinary net of politeness on my sister's part?" "Excuse me, M. Trudulne," answered Lomaque. "You have Dot passed sued nn existence as mine; you are not a friendless old man; you have a settled position tu the world aud are used to being treated with consideration. I am uot This Is the first time I bava ever been an object for the attention of a young lady,, and it tnkes me by surprise." On entering 'the parlor Lomaque walked straight to Rose and, apparently uot noticing that Danville was sitting at the harpsichord aud singing at the time, addressed her confusedly and ear nestly with a set speech of thanks for his hot cup of coffee. Rose looked per plexed and half Inclined to laugh as she Jlstencd to him. Mme. Danville, who sat by her side, frowned and tap ped the laud steward contemptuously on the arm with her fan. "IV to pord as to keep silent until my sou has done singing." she said. Iniinqtic made a low bow and, retir ing to a table in a comer, took up a newspaper. Dauville' had finished bis song and quitted the harpsichord aud was talk ing in whispers to Itose. Mine. Danville was adding a word to tlie conversation every now and then, Tniduine was seated at the far end of the room, reading a tetter, which he bad taken from his pocket,' when on exclamation from Lomaque, who wo still engaged with the newspaper, caused the others to lock tip. . "What Id It?" asked Danville. "Shall I be Interrupting If I explainr Inquired I-onmqu, ' deferentially ad dressing himself to Mme. Danville. "Yon have already Interrupted us," aid tlie madame sharply, "so you may as well explain." "It U a passage from the Scientific Intelligence which will be good news for every one here." Saying this, Ioinaipie looked significantly at Tru duiue and rend: "'Aodciuy of Sciences, l'aris.-The vacant subprofessnrshlp of chemistry has lieeo offered, we sre rejoiced to hear, to a giutleman whime modesty has hitherto preveutcd his scientific merits from hvcoiiiluf sufficiently prom inent In the world.

"Uear Louis," alia cried, clapping tier lianas, "let ine Le tbe lirst to congratu late you! How proud aud glud 1 am! You accept tue professorslilp, of course?" "I have not made up my uilml, Itose: at least, not yet." Dauville, without the slightest an pearauce of interest iu I.oiuai-ue's news, asked what the paper suid alwut the tnuruiuiiutjs of the people. . "Wliut are the last accouuts from 1'arls? Any .more symptoms of a geueral revolt?" Loinaque turned to another part of the paper. "Bud, very bad, prospects for the restoration of hiw and order," be said. " 'Necker, the people's minister, Is dismissed. I'lucards against popular gatherings are posted all over l'tnls. 'J' lie Swiss guards have been ordered to the Champs Elysccs with four pieces of artillery, -No more ' Is yet kuowu, but the worst Is dreuded. The breach between the aristocracy aud the people la widening every hour." Lomaque laid down the uewspaper. Trudalne took It up aud shook his bead forebodingly as he looked over the paragraph which bad just been read. "Bah!" cried Mme. Danville. "Tlie people, Indeed! Let those fonr pieces of artillery be properly loaded, let tbe Swiss guards do their duty, and we shall hear no more of the people!" . . "I advise you not to be too sure of that," said her son. "There are rather too many people In Tarts fur the Swiss guards to shoot conveniently. Don't hold your bend too aristocratically high, mother, till we are quite certain which way tbe wind really does bio. Who knows if I may not have to bow as low one of these days to King Mob as ever yon rourtesied In your youth to King Lonis XV.!" He laughed complacently as he end ed and opened his snuffbox. His luoth er rose from her chair, her face crim son with Indignation. "I won't hear you talk so! It shocks me! It horri fies me!" she excluliued. witb vehe ment gesticulation. "No, no! 1 de cline to Lear another word! I decline to sit by patiently while my son Jests at the most sacred principles nnd sneers at the memory of nn anointed king.
