`°' It was done in the night. I tore the Husband, and little Julie, their child.
There was a fair close by with more
wine shops, and there we went later in the
day. People were drinking all around me,
and I touched nothing but water. It sick-
ened me ; it made me faint : but still I
resisted, growing weaker and weaker, while
the craving grew stronger and stronger.
The faces of noy friends were flushed, even
the mother's face as she tossed her baby in
the air, In fear lest the little one should
fall and be injured, I took it from the
mother's arms. She laughed, and said:
" " Yes, you are right. But it is only
for to -day. Tomorrow we shall be our-
selves again. Don't be afraid. This is not
the first time, and I hope it will not be the
last."
" `These words had a singular effeet
upou me. " It is not the first time, and I
hope it will not be the last." She had no
fear of herself, for she said, " Don't be
afraid" ; and, "'To -morrow we shall be
ourselves again."
" 'If they had such confidence in tlhetn-
selves, why not I? Surely I was as strong
as they. "You are, you are," whispered
the fiend. "Do not be shamed by them.
You are town bred, educated, a lady ;
they are country clowns. See how merry
they are. Follow their example, and be
happy."
" "I pressed any fingers to my ears ; I
talked loudly to little Julie, to drown the
voice of the tempter ; but it was like dust
it would not be denied. It whispered and.
whispered, drawing me on, maddening me.
And still I resisted.
" " We entered a booth, but I did not see
the entertainment. I wanted neither to
see nor to hear; all I wanted was little
Julie, my shield, close to my breast. The
show was over ; we trooped out. •
" " " Come' Madame Straightlace," said
little Julie's father, " It is your turn to
treat now. Look at my pockets."

laughed his wife.
'I offered him a few small pieces of
money, but he cried •

" " " Show your friendliness," said the
man, "and drink with us. It is the only
sheets from my bed into strips, and tying
them together with Gabrielle's help, fasten-

dare to descend to the ground by that
means; it was done only to save Gabrielle
from being implicated, and to lead them to
believe that I had escaped by the window.
I went oat through the door of my room
and the street door, which Gabrielle unlock.
ed, and I stood, a free woman in an un-
known laud, surrounded by darkness.
" 'I had received some instructions from
Gabrielle which I endeavoured to follow.
Her sister lived a dozen pules away, and
Gabrielle gave me a letaer to her which
would ensure for me food an=1'-'shelter as
long as I was able to pay for thein. I was
to follow the high road till it branched out
left and right and my directions from that
point were sufficiently clear to lead hoe to
the cottage. But in the dark I was too
frightened to proceed, so I walked only a
hundred yards or so, and waited for the
sun. It was weary work, and I was not
as strongI thought.I had alterna

" ` In the matter of money Thad deceived
Gabrielle, as I am deceiving everybody. My
life, indeed, is now nothing but deceit. I
told Gabrielle that when I was free I should
be able easily to obtain what money I
required, and the simple soul believed me.
Perhaps that was the reason why she elected
to be my friend, I cannot say. There is
only one being in the world who is absolute-
ly truthful and good—the lady I once called
mother.
"'The first tinge of daylight showed Inc
the road, and I proceeded as quickly as my
numbed limbs would allow. I was fearful of
being pursued and caught, but I had resolved
to fight for my freedomwith all my strength.
Nothing of the sort occurred. So far as I.
knew I was not followed, nor was I molest-
ed by any of the workpeople I met, though
many gazed in curiosity after me. My feet
were tender and my frame weak, and when
the full sun rose I was already exhausted. 1
stopped at an inn and had something to eat
and' drink, a dish of eggs and brown bread,
and twoglasses of a kindof sherry brandy.I
would have drank more, but I had strength
this time to resist the craving. Helpless, I
might fall into the toils again. Iknewittobe

—that was my only reason for resisting.

was some distance from the cottage. At
another cottage I succeeded in obtaining
shelter ; they had no bed to 'offer me; but
they spread straw upon the earth which
formed the flooring of their home, and there

In South America the banana is not
thought of as a luxury. In fact, it takes the
place of bread and meet and vegetables
among a large part of the people. Every
garden has its banana patch, just as we have
our indispensable rows of potatoes: On the
Isthmus of Panama the cars spin past hills,
covered from base to summit with the
beautiful broad-leaved plants, their great
clusters of fruit hanging from the stems just
under the leaves. The banana plant looks
something like an immense callalily. Its
stem is made up of the bases of the leaves,
so sheathed or folded around each other and
Hardened as to sustain the weight of
the mass of foliage above. It will in
some localities attain a height of twenty
feet, When twu years old it' bears fruit
and then dies, but a number of young shoots
spring up from the base of the old stem, so
that it continually renews itself, and the
farmer, who is usually an Indian or negro,
has no trouble, except to keep the weeds,
and the old withered trunks cleared away

Thus lightly to be cast aside,
Her bonnet or her gown, for love
Like mine would nearer her abide.

But, oh, I'd be her bathing dress
And cling
