But, gentle reader, you and I are not of the hastening I;:ruug, \ ilt- gar impatience we never feel, and when 1 tell you frankly that you must not expect to read this unpretenliuus bleu in half tin hour—unless, indeed, you are reviewing it as a critic --you will meet my stutctnent with that calm court- esy that belongs to your makeup as a personage of leisure. The fact Is that 1 want you to go back with ate some years, that we may in- • estigato one of the Most important events In the uueeciting history of Pat- onket. Al first sight, it may seem strange to you that the overthrow of Napoleon 111. of France could in the most remote degree affect a community In an out-of-the-way corner on New Eng- land. But steam, electricity, and mod- ern restlessness have bound tight the Iles that unite continents and notions in these days, and when the Empernr of China winks some syndicate in Bos- ton may collapse. At all events, when the French Republic had become an es- tablished fact, Patonket, a "down East" village situated six miles from a rail- road station, and presenting but few at- tractions to a European's eyes, was called upon to welcome two strangers s --three, if we may count an old wo- man, a servant, In sabots and coiffe— who caused a sensation in that sedate and secluded neighborhood. As the old-fashioned stage -coach roll- ed into the village one waren Septem- ber day In 187-, the few Patonketans who happened to be at leisure were start - Jed to find that the lumbering and time - scarred vehicle contained an elderly, well-dressed man; a little girl. six or seven years of age; and an old, petite, and sharp -featured woman. The astonish- ment caused by thLs discovery was the greater because in those days a stran- ger was a rara avis in that locality. Nov and then in summer n peripatetic artist would spend a few days at Pat- onket, or nn adventurous "drummer" would invade the neighborhood. But the summer boarder, that aggressive and insatiable conqueror who has cap- tured nearly every sea -shore town in New England, had as yet spared this picturesque locality. When, therefore, It was learned that a French exile had brought to the place Itis daughter and her attendant, not merely for a few days' visit, but for the establishment of a permanent hone, there arose a fever of excitement in the community. The Nev Englander of the type to be found In Patonket looks up- on a European with eyes of suspicion. • Vhen, indeed, the foreigner In question happens to be n Frenchmnn, the Yan- kee prejudice against him amounts al- most 10 hostility. Captain Gardener, whose experience as a seaman made hire more cosmopolitan than the majority of his townsmen was of the opinion that the new -corner was Napoleon himself. ile maintained this theory with a vast deal of spirit, and made many converts to his views. The fact that the captain had once landed ot a French port gave great weight to his arguments and silenced all who were inclined to dissent from his ex cnthedre assertions. Then again, the thin frame of the Frencrmnn and his hungry -looking face seemed to offer n historic vi him an l r •sus , for giving t gond e. r g g nickname, and from the day of his ar- rival he was known to the village as Money." But though the gossips who gathered *1 Hill Edward's store 10 discuas_s 'lie strange event that had stirred Patonket to its depths were not especinlly re- •pectfnl in their treatment of the 3'nrnchnon, they spoke with enthusi- asm of the beauty and grace of his lit- tle girl. The sunburned, rugged features of their even children seemed cornmon- plm'e niter they had gaud upon the countenance of the handsome F'renct, maiden. "I lied t. liev'ed," avid Edwards, "the!

Yvonne de Kere;abelee was especially given to this peculiar habit of mind. The loneliness of her lite had moth to do with it. She spent a vast deal of time wandering by the shore of the sco, and the ubsence of companions of her own age begot in her a e:erlatn morbid mental tendency. To some extent this vvus counteracted by the natural ga_,ay of her disposition, and the intense en- Ihu.;ia..in with which she devoted herself to the means of culture at her disposal.
