"No, I won't wear it"
-But why, Alice?"

"If that's so," Buld Rene, "you and 1

"Don't you rather think, M. Reno

calm, advisory tone, "that you had

things to mo and JURt bo my very good

with tho girl ao suddenly become his
commanding superior, but tho effort
disclosed to htm ns well an to her that
be had fallen to rlso no more. In his
abject defeat ho accepted tho terms
dictated by Allco nnd was glad when
sho adroitly changed her manuer and
toao in going ou to discuss the ap
proaching dance,
"Now, lot me mako otto request of

jponded. "I positively do pot wish to

pnrtcnalrc at this dance of Papa Rous
slllou's, but It is understood between us
that Adrlenno la your sweetheart I
am not and I'm not going to be either.
So for your sako and Adrlenno's, ns
well ns out of consideration for tho rest
pf tho girls who havo no flue dresses, I
am not going to wear tho buff brocade
gowu that belonged to Papa Houssll
Ion's mother long ago. I shall dress
Just as tho rest do."
It Is snfe to say that Reno do Ron
rlllo went home with n troublcsomo boo
In his bonnet. He was not a bad heart
ed fctlpw. Many n rlit good young
man before hint and slnco has loved an
Adrlonuo and been dazzled by an Alice,
A vlolot is sweet, but a roso is the gar
den's queen. The poor youthful fron
tlcrsman ought to havo been stronger,
but he was not, and what have wo to
say?
Tho danco did not como off. It had
to be postponed Indefinitely on account
of a grnvo chango In tho political rein-,
tlons of the llttlo post. A day or two
before tho tlmo sot for that function
a rumor ran through tho town that
something of Importance was ubout to
happen. Father Olbault at the head
of a smal) party, had arrived from
Koskaskla, far away on tho Mississippi,
with tho news that Franca and the
American colonics had mado common
cnURO agnlnst tho English In tho great
war of which tho people of Vlncennes
neither knew tho causo nor cared a
straw about the outcome.
It was Onclo Jazon who cnnio to the
Rousslllon place to toll M. Rousslllon
that ho was wanted nt the river house.
Alice met him nt tho door.
"Come In, Onclo Jazon," she cheerily
aid. "You ii ro getting to bo a strnngor
nt our houso lately. Como In. What,
nows do you bring? Tako off your cup
and rest your hair, Onclo Jazon."
The scnlpless old lighter chuckled
raucously and bowed to tho best of his
ability. He not only took off his queer
cap, but looked into It with a startled
gaze, as If ho expected something In
finitely dangerous to Jump out and
seize his nose.
"A thousand thanks, m'nm'sclle," ho
presently said. "Will yo plenso tell
M'hIpu' Rousslllon that I would wish
to see 'ImV"
"Yos, Onclo Jazon; but first be seated
and let mo offer you Just a drop of cau
do vie, Home, that Pupa Rousslllon
brought back with him from Quebec.
He says It's old and tine."
Bho poured htm a full glass, then,
setting tho bottlo on n llttlo stand, went
to ,11ml M. RousHlllon. Whllo sho was
absent Onclo Jazon Improved his op
portuulty to the fullest extent At least
three uddltlonul glasses of tho brandy
went tho way of tho ilrst IIo grinned
atrociously and smacked his corrugat
ed lips, but when Quspard Rousslllon
came In tho old man wns sitting nt
some distance, from tho bottlo and
glass, gazlug Indifferently out across
tho vcrunda. He told his story curtly.
Father Olbault, ho said, had sent hliu
to ask M. Rousslllon to como to the
river bouse, us he had news of great
Importunco to communlcato.
"Ah, well, Onclo JazOn, we'll havo a
nip of brandy togothcr before wo go,"
snld tho host.
"Why, yea, Jes' ono ag'ln the brollln'
Weather," assented Onclo Jazon. "I
don't mind Jes' oue."
"A very rich, friend of mine In Que
bec gave, me this brandy, Onclo Jazon,"
said M, Rousslllon, pouring tho liquor
with a grand flourish, "and I thought
of you as soon as I got It Now, says
I to myself, If any man knows good
brandy when bo tastes It, It's Onclo
Jazon, nud I'll glvo him a. good chance
of this bottle Just tho first of all my
friends."
"It surely Is delicious," said Onclo
Jazon, "very dollelous." Ho spoke
French with a curious accent, having
spent long year with English speuklng
frontiersmen In tho Carollnas and Ken
tucky, so that tholr lingo had becomo
. his own.
