CHAPTER VI.
So much to do that is not'e'en begun,
So much to hope for that we cannot see,
So much to win, so many things to be.
One evening in the late autumn Count du
Val sat before a blazing fire of pine -cones in
kis own private salon in the chateau. It
was a dismal enough night without, for a
cold penetrating, rain was falling, matting
together the falen leaves in the forest, and
wetting to the skin whoever ventured forth
under the inclement sky.
Forbidding as the evening was it had,: not
Ieterred Victor from an intended visit to
he chateau.
It was now some time since Count du Val
zed come among his people, but to many of
hem he was stili a stranger. It was not
ften indeed, that he conoerned himself with
he affairs of his estate. M. Timbale had
►eeu'his trusted agent too long for him to
eel the need of any personal supervision of
Lis affairs.
Indeed, it is doubtful if he, who had been
eft so long in indis uteri control of his mas-
er's interest, would have brooked any but
he most superficial. advice. Usually the
ount seemed absorbed in the books and
rapers he was always engaged over, and
pent but little time outside his own attrac-
ive' library.
Nevertheless, on one or two occasions
had appeared among -the villagers—Rota
n the occasion of the vintage fete, wh
as usual, was held on the vast terraces
roaching the chateau. After the fear
the -day and before the merrymaking
he evening had begun the Count had c
al the peasants ,gathered for their 11
ay, speaking a few: words of greeting
heer here and there, and thanking all
heir loyalty and faithful service in the d
f his absence.
The words were fewindeed, but there
n indescribable charm about the mas
at called forth deafening cheers fr
hese simple folk. Over and over ag
Vive; vive !" rent the air, echoing amo
he hills. and sounding back until
trouts penetrated even the thick walls
ie castle. .
It was then that Count du Val for
Id • time noticed the lithe young v
resser and the .gentle -eyed Babette,
hose side he never seemed weary of -ling
g. If Babette had failed to attract him
ie same degree that her companion tine
iously did, it was not to be wondered

mmunity. His companions declared th

zee possessed half his grace or untiri
ill ; riot one of them could hurl the quoi
th his precision and strength, they al
id. - And as; to vaulting or running
playing at skittles, it was Victor who alto
won the prizes, they proudly owned.
Count du Val had in this way learn
their champion's name. Once afterward
in one of his.infrequent visits to the villag
he had strayed into the Chapel of Sain
Eulalie, and had there been told of Vietoz
great and peculiar gift. In the rude anode
ling of the Madonna the cultivated man
the world perceived even more than w
apparent to the lad's most partial neighbor
And so it had' come about that Victor
this dreary night in November was toilin
up the slippery dark road that-woun
around the base of the hill, 'with the ligh
from the chateau gleaming above him like
beacon.
The flashing light from the blazing cone
lit up the room where Count du Val sa
pplayed upon his quiet perfect feature
)cringing out their lines against the dar
background of his chair until they resemble
some wondrously wrought portrait by
master -hand. He did not stir from` his re
poseful attitude beside the fire, until a soft -
voiced servant announced his visitor.
" Ah ? Victor, is it you ?" he asked, look-
ing up. " Come nearer to the fire," he add-
ed kindly. " The storm is beating wildly,
and. your walk must have drenched you to
the skin. I am glad you. have come,
nevertheless, for it shows you are not easily
deterred by obstacles, or shrink from climb-
ing hills."
" Oh, no, M'sieu, you do zne honor �n
commanding me. I never• thought to stay
away. It is a pleasure to `serve the master.
All in the village feel like this," he replied
simply.
he Count bowed slightly, but continued
his own thought.
'Are you content, Victor, quite content-
withed, your life in the village ?"
Victor changed his soaked beret from one
hand to the other before replying. This
was a comprehensive question, and for a
moment the firelight seemed to flash and il-
lumine only one image in his mind ; soft
grey eyes looked into his with pleading
trust. He hesitated before he spoke.
" I cannot tell, .M'sieu. That is a difficult
question to meet without. thought. I am
fon(
of m3 home and kindred. I receive
Hutch affection from them. T ` can find no
cult with my neighbors, who are giving me
more praise than I deserve. . The village has
lways been my home, M'sieu. I make no
omplaint."
But Victor's eyes had the look of deep
waters that are stirred below the surface ;
his voice had lost something of the fresh
you
intonation of cheerful unconcern.
And your work," queried the Count,
does that satisfy you: ?" •
" Ah ! that cannot be helped," replied
Victor. " I must work like all the others.
They
is no escape. It is my lot, as it has
that of my father and mother before
e, but—" he hesitated ; was it too bold to
suture his a own aspirations in- words ?—
tbuI have thought sometimes that if I
had been born elsewhere and could have
learn
from childhood the art my fingers
I might have had greater skill, and
made the fashioning of beautiful forms
and faces my only occupation. I can see
stn," he continued, carried away by his
sions, • ` beautiful as one dreams the bless -
Madonna must be, seated on high, guard -
by all the hosts of heaven."

remembered only the wonderful' faces that
visited hunt when, in idle moments; .he
moulded the rough embodiments of his izn-
agination. ;
" Had I been born outside the village,
possibly in some great oily, I should have
known better how to form the perfect lines.
that live in my imagination, and how to
breathe .into the clay that breath of 'life `I
feel is lacking."
His listener did not reply, gazing still into
the gleaming firelight.
Victor," he, said at last, "'I feel that
you are endowed with a great natural gift
which should not be buried beside the Tarn.
It is well enough at first for a lad to follow
the impulse of his talent here among his
own people, giving himself up to the study
of those wonderful lessons that Nature
alone can teach. But when he has grown
o manhood there are other masters and bet-
er models to follow than can be. found in
Vie rough outlines of the peasantry."
I Victor stood very silent as he liatened,but
his cheek . had become colorless, while his
eyes shone.like stars.
The Count continued : " I cannot feel at
ease, knowing that you possess a gift of
whose value you can have but the • slightest
realization, without helping you to obtain
its development. I cannot leave you in this
obscure corner, wasting, yourself on uncon-
genial labor, when there may be in store for
ou the sweetest draught man ever tastes.
o ; the decision lies with you, Victor. I
wish to assume your education and the un-
folding of that genius I believe you to pos-
sess. Are you willing to give up home,
kindred and friends, and to go out by your-
self among strangers, to carve your ori n
destiny ?"
Count du Val had turned in his chair, and
was regarding the lad searchingly.
Victor had become white even to the lips,
while his eyes were now filled with rising
mist. His lips felt dry,and he could scarce-
ly utter the words they formed.
" M'sieu is most gracious. I real4se the
future that M'sieu offers me. It is wonder-
ful. Sometimes I have prayed for a miracle
such as this ; but I had never thought the
Saints would hear, and send a benefactor -
like the good Seigneur. But, forgive me,
M'sieu, there is a reason. Surely you could
not know. It is my own secret. 1 have
never told it to any one, not even to her—I
love Babette."
He spoke tremblingly. He was weighing
all the ambition of his boyish days, all the,
undefined longing of an artistic tempera -
meat, in the balance against the gentle heart
of the young girl from whom all the village
held aloof.
The Count broke the stillness ; he spoke
gently.
" Who is Babette ?"
A crimson flood rushed from Victor's beat- :
rng heart and suffused his white cheeks. The
question was a startling one—=one he had
never before faced with the necessity for
definition. He hesitated.
" Babette !" he said ; " Babette ' is the •
grandchild of Paul Laroche. All in the vil-
age know who she is ; she is his only grand-
" Not the daughter of—" „vs�• 1
The Count left the sentence unfinished..
"He had but one child—his • daughter
1arie," Victor explained.
The Count passed his hand wearily acrost
is brow.
"Ah ! she married then. I am glad to
ear she married."
" Marie has no husband," Victor replied ;
`and Babette has never known; her' father's
name."
"MyGod !"
Count du Val stood facing the young man
with his hand tightly clenched on the back
f the chair he had risen from. Victor made
step towards him, startled; by the expres-
on of his face.
" You did not know that Marie left her
pane long ago, and was lost to her father
and child for many years ? No ; how could
ou know ? Pardon, M'sieu ; one forgets
ow little you must have heard of the people
the village, and of how small consequence
ur lives must seem in comparison with the
eat world outside."
His listener had sunk again in his chair,
d his face had assumed the impenetrable
-pression of reserve which was usually
amped upon it.
" You will, then, give up all prospect of a
eat career for the sake of a boyish love ?"
asked. " Weigh it well, my lad. Love
asses and- the heart grows cold, but there
no change in Art. As she is to -day she
as in the ages past, and will be in the cen-
lIries to come—enduring, enchanting, soul-
tisfying, Undying, the only mistress worth
fife's devotion ; the only love faithful
ke in youth and age.
Presently he turned again towards Victor.
" Carry your love with you as a talisman
len you go out into the world. If it is
thful, you will he protected from evil ;
d if it is true, you will be drawn hack to
r you love as surely as the needle points
rth. Try your heart, and if the passion
your art does not fill every longing, every
ire, then return and dwell }among the
santry. The weight of your decision
st rest with you When it is made you
1 return."
he interview was ended. As Victor
gilt the door and once more faced ,the
ipping night, he felt that years had pass -
over him since he had mounted the
pery path an hour before. In his hands
held his future ; but how could he leave
bbette ? •

CHAPTER VII.
Say to her that Time
And Death have healing hands, and here there conies
To the forgiven traregressor only pain
Enough to chasten joy !
or
The season bad been a trying one—inces-
sant rain fell, with scarcely a ray of sun-
light to brighten the short November days.
No one in all the commune could remember
such an autumn. The wise shook their
heads and the aged bent themselves double
with the weight of their prognostications.
Indeed, there seemed a likelihood that
there would be no aged ones left to pro-
phesy, so extreme had been the sickness in
the valley, the weak and the olcl succumbing
first to the damp and unusual cold.
Marie was ailing. At all times delicate,
she had not escaped. She made little com-
plaint, and there seemed no definite ill at
at work ; but Babette was alarmed at the
change a few weeks had produced in her
mother. She still went about the cottage
performing light tasks, but she .grew
visibly weaker, and less able to perform
them.
Babette watched her with tender solici-
tude ; but Marie required little nursing, and
always shrank from any attention shown
herself. She seemed to have grown even
more silent than before, and would some-
-times sit for hours scarcely speaking.
But Babette, looking up from her knitting
or other occupation, would find her mother's
eyes fixed upon her with a singular regard.
Ahnost one would have thought she was on
the point of breaking down that barrier
which had so long divided them. But the
words were never spoken the -eager light
-in Marie's eyes would die or become over-
clouded by the deadly drowsiness of the
slow fever that consumed her.
On the afternoon of Victor's visit to the
chateau Babette had gone to consult `tante'
Rosalie, the faithful servant and friend of
monsieur le cure. She, as every one in the
commune knew, was well skilled in the use
of simples, and better than any one in all
the country round knew how to brew a heal -
tisane.
The visit had lasted loner than Babette
intended, for tante Rosalie.was not as (!nick
in her movements as before the rheumatism
had settled in her joints. - But at last she
had sorted the various herbs whose merits
she volubly extolled, portioning each, and
the fortieth time had given Babette rhrougl
minute directions as to their decoction ; heat.

Scarcely had. Babette departed on
rand t e tante Rosalie before the
Iight in Marie's eyes grew to a look
perate resolve. Hastily tying a h
chief over her head and knotting t
shawl she wore more closely, she clo

With swift steps she fled along the

enshrouded` chateau. To the servan

hend her wish she had passed him c
like a shadow.
Following the windings of the stair
dnnly-lighted corridors, she went wi
curious directness—yet want of co

knowledge, she found without hes'

The crimson handkerchief had fallen
her hair, which, damp and matted,
about her brow ; her shawl had becom
fastened, and fell back from her coarse
gown, showing in relief the delicate o
of her wasted form ; from her face
vestige of color had fled, leaving a pallo
the seal of death.
Her eyes gleamed like living coals.
The Count's face betrayed annoyance
unwelcome an intrust n, and his voice
twined an accent of rebuke as he dem
of the strange woman before him a r
for her visit.
At the tone of reproach Marie rec
she had never, even to herself, pictur
meeting with the Count du Val, but cer
ly she was unprepared for the repulse w
awaited her.
She put out her hand deprecatingly,
in g humbly,. "Pardon, M'sieu."
Something in the gesture, perhaps, or
some tone in the trembling voice, caused
-Count du Val to regard his visitor more
,closely. Was she there, he wondered, in
:answer to his thoughts, or had his consci-
ence, stirred by Victor's words, played him
this trick of imagination ?
He spoke her name doubtingly. In the
-woman's worn sad features he found scarcely
a trace of the girlish face he tried to recall.
But the drooping figure, steadied by the
chair against which she leaned for support,
had some of the old-time grace and beauty.
He did not need her words to tell him who
she was. v:,�... - vasa
" Yes, M'sieu, it is I—Marie. I cannot
Wonder that you forget ; I am sadly changed,
and noblemen like M'sieu le Comte cannot
be expected to remember as we poor peas-
ants do. Sometimes there is nothingin our
lives to remember but a few short days of
brightness and glory, and then the sun is shut
out, and clouds, clouds, and blinding storm
to the end. We cannot forget."
" I do not forget 'either, Marie. I have
never forgotten. Our lives are not,perhaps,
as differentr as you would think. I, too,
have known little enough of happiness.
Some of the gifts the world . tries to cheat
men with—fortune, fame, a life of change
and excitement—have all been mine, and
many men have envied me. But from first
to last it has been a mockery, a- pretence, a
deception.- My life is voice and my heart un-
satisfied."
