As I was making the last stretch along the river road --for 1 went by horse, a barge on 'the river being too slow—I was wildly accosted by a man who spoke French. There was some- thing familiar about the fellow's voice but. I was inno mood to renew ac- quaintances; and I galloped on with his meaningless, "Monsieur! Morf- sieur•!" ringing in illy ears which. heard' nothing. Before making the plantation I reined down to a walk and recovered some of my cof ipos- ure. On my way up the winding drive I saw a young woman at one side, standing by a hedge. She soft- ly called to me, and a closer glance revealed her to be mademoiselle. She was dressed inthe mode, and inost wonderful to gaze upon; a sev- ere little person, withal, for a travel- siained ratan to approach. I turned my horse loose for a black boy to catch and stable and . hurried across the lawn and stood beside her. "Mademoiselle, some time agog I do not know how long, I received your message. T started initnediately. I have tarried none along the way." I said. She haddifficulty in adjusting some twigs of the hedge to her liking, and her voice' was so low I could scarcely hear it as she said: gaarade!" In her moods she was as "I told, you once that should yoti irresponsible as a butteifl}, and as feel the same as you did that time on the fiver—that second time on the second !'1t'er—there could be no harm Ah, I put shame on myself to speak more," a: "And I repeat I atn 'a very foolish pian and must have love where I love," 1 stammered.
