"Hut how 1 It, Uoupart?" asked tho marquis, after the party bad become calm. "What bring you bore into thla wllderneT" "Of a truth, my old friend, I cam to aeek my fortune," returned the young man. "You know my futhor lust bla all In hi meddling in tho affair of Hpaln, and when he died, three year ago, I found myaelf not only alone In the world, but nearly pnullt. The little catato at Heianne, in Lower Maruo, waa the only thing left. I aold It, and after paying off all dcinanda, I found mrivlf the owner of tho cnormoti mm of ten tuouaaml franca. What ahould I do? That would tiot kit me a mouth if I remained amongat my old asaoolatca. The lat of my father' wealth be lout In Law'a great Mississippi acheme; and now that I waa loft alone, I waa not long In turning my eyea bltber.

"But didn't you know that w were here?" aaked the marcjul. "Why, no. I thought you were In Canada." "Yea here w are!" cried the old man, joyfully, "and now w will live over aome of the happy day again." "Ay," added Uoupart, "and forget all the dark onea." After tbia, the converaatloa turned up on affaire in the native country, and for three houre the marqula kept hi visitor anawerlng queationa aud retailing the new of the pant six year. It waa at late hour when they eeparatcd, and with tear In hi eye, Brlon St. Julicn called upon bcaren to bleaa hi young friend. mere waa aometning in Uoupart a pre cnee that bad called up the brighter dya of hi pat life, and he waa hnppy In the hope that he might keep the youth a long while with him. Iulse retired to her chamber, and for while, only a bright joy aeemed to mora her; but gradually her thought arem to take a more aerloua turn, for her counte nance changed to a aober, thoughtful caat, and with her hand clnaped upon her boaom, ahe bowed her head, and thin alio remained for a Ion while, the color of her face changing like tho deepening twilight. But there waa one more whom we hare aeon affected by the young man'a pre once. Simon Lobola retired to bla cham ber, and for autne tlnio ho paced np and down the apartment with quick, nervou siriues. uis race snowed tnat fie waa ill at eaae, and tho clenching of tho hand aeemed to apeak ot a war within. "What brought him hero?" ho muttered to hlmaelf. "Now we'll have more boy's play and monkey-dnnclng, and It will all end In his falling In love with Louise. And If he does ao, and should ask for hor band, I am simply sure that tho old man would tell him yes. But what does she, want with tho young popinjay? I'll be' ahead of blm. And If I should be he who treads upon me may tread upon dan gerous ground! Let thorn beware I" CIIAPTliK III. The morning of the next doy dawned brightly, and at an early hour, Goupart and Louis were astir. The latter took his friend all over the buildings, showed blm the defenses, and would have passed out through the northern gate had not the marquis joined them just as they came out of the stable leading two horses by the bridles. "How now, you young rascals!" cried tho old mnn. "Are ye going to run off with my horses?" i "Not at all," returned St. Denos, with a merry laugh. "Wa were going to let the horses run off with us. But we won't go now, unless you'll go with us. Here, Louis, hold this animal of mine while I help your father to saddle big; for I know he'll love to snuff the fresh air before breakfast." The old man joined In the plan joyful ly, and ere long the three were galloping off over the country. They laughed and ahouted merrily on tho way, and tho for est rang with the echoes of their glad voices. When they returned to the house, they found Louise upon the piazza, her face radlont with smiles. Simon Lobols had been a spectator of tho morning's sports; and when the party sat down to the table he was silent and moody. Several times be tried to bide bla emotions, and finally he so far suc ceeded as to engage In quite an animated conversation. After the meal was done. Simon took the first opportunity to call the marquis one side, and as be said that he wished to have a few moments of private conversation, the old mun retired to his library, whither Simon followed Win "Now, what la It?" aaked St. Jollen. after they bad both become seated. It was som moment before th nephew replied; but at length ba aeemed to collect bis mental forcea, and h com menced! "M. fit. Jullen," bis vole trembled at first, but It g rw mors steady aa b went on, "I bar now been In your fam ily a long while, and my attachments hav become atrong and fixed. Six years ago you placed your children under my charge, and I hav don' all I could for them." "I know I know, Simon," ottered ths old man, "and I hart told rou thou aand times bow grateful I was." "Yea, air; and your gratitude has been a choice blessing to me. But remember the boors I bar spent with tboss two children" "And haven't they been happy sours, Simon T' , , : , "ludeed they bave, air, been very hap py one. But, alas! th thought has often been with m of late-mut they all end In misery now?" "How, Simon? misery r ottered the marqula, In astonishment. "What mean yon?

"I did not fear that You- do not understand me. Ite member, air, that Louise St. Jullen has grown op under my care that I have seou each opening beauty as It baa trad oally expanded Itself Into life, and each bud of promise I bare aeen blossom Into the full rose. She baa now grown to be a woman. Think you I bare scca and known all tbia unmoved? No. sir. My heart baa been caught In the snare of her charm, and I am but aa an outcast now, if I pie her not for mine own. Yon understand m now?" Brlon St. Jullen understood, but he made no reply. He atarted when the truth flrat broke upon blm; aud when 81 moo ceased apeaklng be aros to bla feet and commenced to pace the room. The nephew watched blm for a moment, and then, in a tone aa aoft and persuas ive aa he could assume, be resumed: "Reflect calmly upon thla, my lord. Re member, you are growing old; your call aren are yet young " "Too young for thla, Simon," whisper ed the marquis. "And then I am not old. either. I am but flfty-flve that'a all." "I know," pursued the nephew; "but Louise la not young. Her mind la that of a woman." "But you are one year over and above double her own age," auggeated the par ent "atiAt nl.l a ..V. . - ..11. 1.t enough to be her father." "And yet I am not old, nor have I yet -reached my prim; only five-and-thlrty years, nut wbat or all thla? Speak plainly, air, and let m know yonr mind.

He knew that his nephew would work well for pay, but he bad long uouoieu me irutn or bis beart the pure- neaa or nia motives; and what waa more, be bad moments when he almost feared mm. Xbla latter emotion wa a aort of aim, vagua worklug . of mind, without point and without ahape; but yet It worked, and bad It influence. "Simon," be aald, "when I left France, I left all the rotten, useless usages of society behind me, and here I resolved to form world of my own. First among me miserable raiseboods or old society, I meant to caat away that plan which makes the marriage of the child a work of the parent. When my child la old enough to marry, she Is old enough to se lect her own husband; and until ahe is old enough to use her own judgment in that respect, ahe la not old enough to per form the duties of a wife. Upon the mar riage or my children may depend the whole weal or woe of their earthly fu ture. Such being the case, I most leave them to choose for themselves, only hop ing that they will seek my counsel, and listen to my advice, so far as my judg ment is good." "What am I to understand by this, sir?" asked Simon, not able to conoeal hia chagrin. "Simply that Louise may choose ber own husband." "But you will exercise aome authority? You will speak In my behalf?" "First, I would know If the girl chooses yon." . "But but you might Influence her choice." "Not now, Simon." "Yet you will speak one word?" "Why so soon? Louise is young yet Why, bless you, man, there's some time yet some years ere she'll be of lawful nge. "Not quite a year, sir." "I mean ere she'll be able to do bust ness as an heiress. Let the matter rest now." no I cannot. I cannot live In I must know what my fate la to Then waa sometbi jg lu th look, the tone, and the words of tb speaker, thst struck a transient feeling of awe to Si mon' aool, and la a moment b conceal ed all trace of hi anger. He found that there was much of tb old blood yet left In tb old noble, and that hot words woold only serve to blsst bis own hopes. So be assumed a repentant tone, and witn a more modest look, be ssld: "Forgive jne( sir. I mesnt not to speak 111 of any one, but my tongue rsn awsy with me. Out of my deep love for your noble child apraog a dreadful fear when I saw St. Denis come. But may I not speak with Louise? - May I not ask her to M mm ' , "Of coarse yoo msy." . , ' - "And if she say r ,x'. "Then I abould simp! bid her follow ner own wisnes." Simon Lobols thanked bis uncle, and then' left the room, and when be waa alone, bis hands were clenched and bis brow wss dark. CHAPTER IV. All that day did Simon Lobols watch for an opportunity to apeak alone with Louise, and it waa not until towards evening thst b gslncd tb wUhed-for opportunity. She was standing In the hall, her brother and Goupart having gone oown to toe river, while the marquis was somewhere among the blacka, giving di rection for th next day's work. Simon touched the maiden upon the arm, and aaked ber to follow him into the atudy, aa ne wisned to apeak with ber a mo ment The beautiful girl smiled a reply, and laughingly tripped along by his aid to tbe designated apartment. "Louise," be commenced, in a very soft winning tone snd be couid speak very swee(ly,. too, when be choe "I want you to listen to me candidly, now, aud weigh well what I aball aay." "How now, good master?" cried th happy girl, with a merry twinkle of the eye; "am I to take a lesson for not get ting on to-day?" "No, no. Listen, snd be sober, for I would be serious. You know bow our lives bave been' spent here for the last six years, and how we have moved about in our little world here in th wilderness. You have been my constant companion." Then Simon Introduced the aame speech, word for word, that be had made to th parent In the morning, about the expand ing beauties and budding promises, and he ended thus: "And now womanhood haa come upon you with Ita loveliness snd goodness all nobly developed, and my beart hat become captive, and la all your own." Good Simon, sweet cousin, I am glad you love met" aald the maiden, with a bright amile. Are you, Louise T' the tutor cried eagerly. "O, and will yoo be mine?" "Be youra? Be your what?" "My wife, moat lovely girl my wife!" Louise St. Jullen gazed for aome mo menta Into Simon's face, and then buret into a long, loud laugh. "O, you do not mean so?

Washington Legislature Selects the Man from Walla Walla. uiympla, Jan. 30.- Levi Ankeny, of Walla Walla, became United States senator from Washington yesterday, re ceiving 09 votes on tbe 13th joint bal lot. After tbe action of tbe caucus tbe voting waa merely a formality, but it brought with It more oratory of an ex planatory nature than has ever before been beard at Olympia on tbe last bat lot of a senatorial contest Tbe sodden deatb of John B. Allen, who In years gone by had fought fierce political bat tles on this field with tbe man now en- joying the plaudits that go to tbe victor, threw a sombre spell over tbe joint session, and mnch of tbe rancor and bitterness which has marked tbe closing boors of tbe fight bad van ished before tbe shadow of death wbicb bnng heavy over tbe hearts of the men who bad stood by tbe dead leaden in many a similar contest. This almost tragic closing of the life of one who had made so much political history in Washington, coming simultaneously with tbe long-deferred victory of bis rival of many years' standing, gave an intensely dramatic air to the situation. and at the joint session tumultuous ap plause for tbe living mingled with elo quent and heartfelt tributes to tbe dead. Tbe final ballot was: Levi Ankenv. 99, Harold Preston 9, John L. Wileon 2, W. L. Jones 1, George Turner 23. Preston and Wilson were pat on tbe committee to introduce Ankenv. and all three made epeecbes, in which there was a note of sadness on account of tbe death of John B. Allen.
