Viva la Franct. inn tiiiclc nf A morion Imi come- to a coiifti'loii of t tic sox be tween I'lorru nml me from n in fU-s memory mm mo ivrllliiK of my Imnil. which In of a Krciit IjoMih'xk, liiit not to bo easily ri'iid," 1 explnlnod iih I rrnil tlio loiter aloud to I'lorie unit .N'linnotte. It tool; mi' Jui-t one hour by the rlocle. sitting tliore on the lle nf steamer wraps -with the small I'lorro in tlio hol low of in- iinii, to fAplaln unci trans- Into thi souse of t lint letter to old Nap. iictto, mill I fiel sure sho would lmvo been slttlmr uiioii Unit cpot jet. Im moviible, rather than let mo depart from her If I had not put all of my time mid force uikiii the picturing to lier of a 1'ieiio who could coino down with her later to mo In a condition to J mi through I ho cardeiiH of Twin Oales, which wax the homo of his American uucestoiH. With that vision constantly before her hIio let the porter and mo Insert her Into a taxlcab and extract her at the door of the Ktnnll private hoHpltal of the pood Dr. Hums, who was to perforin the miracle for the buck and hip of Miiall mid radiant IMerre. "Hut what Is It that I do to permit tlio Jciiuu II He of my belocd mlnticss to depart Into ttilN city of wicked sav ages not attended by me? 1 cannot. Do not demand It!" Mere the words with which 1 left her nrsulnic with that very Nympathctlc nnd hciihIIiIc doe tor of America. He had not noticed u confusion of sex was between I'lerro and me, and ho had dent out the check of my wicked undo nnd procured the American money for me. AIno ho had Klven me h few directions thnt ho a poured to think of a prcnt nuttlclciiey nnd hud ordeied a taxi to be In readi ness for me, "Nonsense, nurHe," he said to Nan notte briisipiely, but not "lib unkind lies, when 1 had translated to hi in Nunnette'ii eeplujr protests. "A Rreiit "trapping girl like that can cot down to tlio llarpeth valley all right by her Belf. Nobmly'H going to eat her up, and fioni the hIzc of the biceps 1 de tect under that chiffon I think sho could give a good account of herself If anybody tried. How like you are to what Henry was at your ago, child, Cod bless you! I'd go to the station wllh you, but I've n patient nil pre pared Tor an operation. Shall I tend a nilr.se with youV "No. please, good doctor, and good- by," I said, with n gioat hat-te, as I hurriedly embraced both Nauuette and the M.mll I'leire and departed down the broad steps Into the taxi with tlio open door. "Your train may not leave for hours, but you can get your baggage togeth er. (loodby," mild that good doctor as ho shut I ho door and returned to his pursuit of making human beings either whole or deud. "And now, Uoberta Cnrru thorn, no lotigor Mnrqulso of (Ires nnd B.u you aro In your Amerlcu, hiiiI let's eo you do Home bunding." And whllo that very swift taxi con eyed mo to tlio law Million (hat Is its beautiful us u cathedral 1 did mhiio whnt 1 iinmo "lull tlilnLlng." What would bo the result of my womanly arrival In that state of Harpeth of my wicked tmMoJ Would ho bo forced to mimler mo us his letter hud said? And If In his anger out tlio mistake ho hnd made from my letter, written In that very bold nnd dltllcult hand writing, ho Nhould turn from mo and the good Nnnnetto and Pierre us well, what would I then do? All must be innetod Unit u cure for IMerre bo ob tallied. With wilt energy I hnd been thinking, but I did not know what It was thut 1 should do to pre twit Ids migor when 1 arrived to him as a woman until suddenly the good Dr. Hums' kindness In marking tho ro embalnro of me to my fnther In Ida extreme jouth made uu entry luto my mum mm was received with tho great ly tlio daredevil who L--' -"' somo young man of fashion. The mnn who assisted me to buy was very large, with n hcml only ornamented with a drjpery of gray hnlr around tho edges, nnd he spoke much of what his son deemed suitable (o make appearance In the prevailing m'ode. "He's at ten wllh n Indy Mend thli afternoon, nnd I wish you could tinve wuv him when he left the store to meet her," he snld ns he laid the Inst of tho slllc scarfs nnd hose Into one of the largo lint bags I had purchased and which he had pneked as I selected. "Ho had on the mntch to these gray tweeds and was fitted out In lavender from the skin out. Now. what nro you going to do nbout shoe, mlssi" "That I do not know, kind sir." I made nnswer, with grent perplexity. "I think thnt the feet of my iclntlvc are nbont the'slze nf thoe I pness." "Most wnmen would wear shoes near tl'e-1 Izo of their brothers' If they didn't prefer to wnddle nnd limp along with their feet scrouged. Go over to tho shoe department nnd the clerk will lit you out with what you need In about two sizes larger than you wenr. If they nro not light you enn tell Just nbout what will bv. nnd exchange 'cm by special messenger. I'll pack nil this shlpshnpc bcfoio you come back." With which direction 1 left tho kind mnn nnd made my way to another of equal kindness. "I have hnd upon my feet the shoes of my brother when In nccldcnts whllo nt hunting nnd fishing, nnd I think I enn ascertain n good fitting." I made n falsification to tho very polite young mnn who stood with attention and sympathy to wnlt upon me. "We'll make n selection nqd then try one pair on," ho advised me. And ns I gnvo to him n line descrip tion of the clothing I bad purchased ho brought forth in nccord many won derful boots and shoes for tho riding nnd n walking nnd also for the dance. 1 hnd never observed that the shoes of men wcro of such an ugliness, but when ono wns upon my foot In ploco of the shoe of much beauty which I discarded both 1 and tho young mnn hnd n lino Inugh. "Mnls. they nro of n grcnt comfort," I further remarked. "And they feel about as did thoso of my brother, who Is of n small frame." "Well, If they nro not right, send 'em bnck nnd I'll chnngo 'em," ho answer chI, with great Interest. After the exchange of much money between us tho young mnn went with mo to tho other kind old man of the wlilto hnlr, nnd together they mndc places In tho two bags for the shoes. "Just $700 nil told, nnd tho like of that outfit couldn't bo bought In any other place of stylo In New York for lens than n thousand, miss," remarked (o mo tho elderly clerk ns ho closed nnd mode fast with keys the two bags. "Shall I send 'em special'" "I'll thank you that yon call n tnxl for me. monsieur." I nuswercd, and ns ho had mentioned n grout hotel In coiiversntlon earlier that tery wicked daredevil that resides within menwoko nt attention with the Inrgo cars of grcnt mischief. I felt In my pocket that there was still much gold, and tho mnn from whom I had purchased the ticket to the state of Harpeth had assured mo that tho train did not do pait until tho hour of 0 In the evening It then transpired that one hour from tho time that the young Mile. (ire.. who had registered tit that lingo hotel with all of her luggnge from tho steam er whllo by lies her father was ropio semen ns still engaged with tho oils toniN, entered her room there emerged young Mr. Itoert Cnrriilhers. who. after paying his bill In his room, had a hall boy hcml his bags on ahead of him to the railroad ktntlon while lie sauntered luto tho ten room. I have iiout again met with the wondeiful dresses 1 left In that hotel room. I The lady Is nervous," snld tho con ductor of the car n little Inter as ho handed inc another ticket. "I beg your pardon, conductor, but upper nine Is ongnged for my son. who Is to get on nt Phllndclphln. I must have him Just opposite my daughter and mo. Wo nro nervous," snld n Inrgo stout old Indy who vns nccor.i- pan led by nn even stouter dnughter. It wns n very funny sight to behold that ntnnl) conductor Stand with my Inrgo bags nnd overcoat nnd look nrouud nt that enr full of ladles for n plnco In which to deposit mo and them whleluwns not previously occupied by some femnle of grcnt nervousness. "Madam. I will have to use tho upper of lids section." he dimity turned and snld to the occupant of the number of sevdi with a very line dotermluntlnn, "Ceitniirly. conductor! Let mo re mote my lint nnd cont." en me back tho nnswer In n voice of very grcnt sweet ness ns tho conductor deposited me nnd my bugs down In front of tbo most beautiful ludy In nil America, 1 am sin e. "Thank yon for much graclousuess. ma (lain. I said, keeping those gmy tweed knees straight out In front of mo nnd cry still to prevent trembling, "Not nt all, sir. I bought only the lower half of this section. I am not nt all nervous." And I could sec her mouth, that wns curled like the petals of nn opening rose, tremble from n mischief ns hlio regmded the stiff black fill: back In the front of tho enr nnd tho two huge femnles on our right, whoso son nnd brother wns to.nrrlvo In I'hilndelphlu for their protection. An equally gny mischief roso in my eyes nnd responded to thnt in hers ns I responded also by word: "For which also let us be In grati tude." Many times In (ho months thnt fol lowed lmvo I thought of tho luro of tho laughing mischief In those ejes (lint wcro Ilka beautiful blno Mower set In crystal nnd how they were to lead me on Into tho strnngo land of men In search of thosn forbidden fruits. And from that moment on 1 did very much enjoy myself in coiiversntlon with thnt Madam Mischief, whllo we together did wntch (ho retirement of nfl of tho persons In tho train. She hnd ninny funny remarks to mukc and mndo mo merry with them, io thnt Clio hour of 11 o'clock hnd nrrlvcd before wo hnd summoned tho very black male chambermaid to turn our Rents into beds. All others were In sleep that was n coifuslon of sound from every where, nnd wc must stand In tho nlslo whllo tho beds wcro being abstracted. (To Bo Continued.)
