We are very tired, this little child and I. We can walk no more, monsieur. Take care of us, I pray you.” I spoke brokenly, for in an extremity like this it was diffl. uit to put my re quest into French. The priest ap;«eared perplexed, but he went back and held a short, earnest conversation with the driv er, in a subdued voice. "Madame,” he said, returning to me, ”1 am Francis Laurentie, the cure of Ville- en-bois. It is quite a small village about a league from here, and we are on the road to it; but the route to Granville is two league* behind us, and it is still far ther to the nearest village. There is not time to return with you this evening. Will you, then, go with us to Vi!le-en- bois?—and to-morrow we will send you on to Granville.” He spoke very slowly and distinctly, with a clear, cordial voice, which filled me with confidence. I could hardly dis tinguish his features, but his hair was silvery white, and shone in the gloom, as he still stood bare-headed before nie, though the rain was falling fast. “Take care of us, monsieur,” I replied, putting my hand in his; "we will go with you.” “Make haste, then, my children,” he said cheerfully; “the rain will hurt you. Let me lift the mignonne! Bah! How little she is. Now, mailgme, permit me.” There was a seat in uhe back, which we reached by climbing over the front bench, assisted bv the driver. There we were well sheltered from the driving wind and rain, with our feet resting upon a sack of potatoes, and the two strange figures of the Norman peasant in his blouse and white cotton cap, and the cure in his hat and cassock, filling up the front of the car before us. "They are not Frenchwomen, Monsieur le Cure,” observed the driver, after a short pause. “No, no, my good Jean,” was the cure's answer; "by their tongue I should say they are English. Englishwomen are ex tremely intrepid, and voyage about all the world quite alone, like this. It is only a marvel to me that we have never encoun tered one of them before to-day.” "Monsieur,” I interrupted, feeling al most guilty in having listened so far, “I understand French very well, though I speak it badly.” "Pardon, madame!" he replied, “I hope you will not be grieved by the foolish words we have been speaking one to the other.” After that all was still again for some time, except the tinkling of the bells, and the pad-pad of the horse's feet upon the steep and rugged road. By anil by a vil lage clock striking echoed faintly down the valley; and the cure turned round and addressed me again. “There is my village, madame,” he said, stretching forth his hand to point it out; "it is very small, and my parish contains but four hundred nnd twenty-two soul«, some of them very little ones. They all know me, and regard me as a father. They love me, though I have some rebel sons.” We entered a narrow nnd roughly par ed village street. The houses, as I saw afterwards, were all huddled together, with a small church at the point farthest from the entrance; and the road ended at its porch, as if there were no other place in the world beyond it. We drove at last into a square court yard, paved with pebble«, Almost be fore the horse could stop I sa w a stream of light shilling from an open door across a causeway, and the voice of a woman, whom I could not see, spoke eagerly soon as the horse's hoofs had ceased «crape upon the pebble«.

RAISING MACARONI WHEATS. Well Adapted to tlie Semi-Arid Plain, of the West. About 15,000,000 pounds of foreign macaroni are imported into this coun try each year, solely because, being made from true macaroni wheats, it is considered to be of better quality than our domestic macaroni, which is made almost entirely from bread wheats. Moreover, the imported macaroni sells at a much higher price.
