"The fault was partly mine, too," he whispered, at last raising her head and kissing the tears on her lashes and her fair hair. "Mine too, Lucie!" CHAPTER XXXV. As he descended the stairs a few minutes later he found utademoiselle looking very pale, and waiting anxi- ously for him at the open door of her room. "Is it so bad? 'Y ou were upstairs such an eternity!" -The child is asleep," he answered. "It is a slight sore throat. You can go up without any anxiety, ma- demoiselle; indeed, I beg you will. It will do my future Ntife'good to see you. She is very much worn 00 t ." "Comment?" asked the little French woman, and looked at him as if tillable to understand him. Ile held out his hand to her. "Lucie is mine again," said he. ••Mais non—[ mean—I think—are you engaged?" "Certainly we are! Cood-night, mademoiselle." Ile kissed her little plump hand and went out. The old lady stood a moment quite bewildered, then she mounted the stairs, and went to I.ucie's room. The girl was sitting again in the arm -chair by the bed and gazing at the sleeping child; her hands were folded, but on her face was a happy, peaceful expression. "Lucie! quelle surprise!" cried ma- demoiselle. "I most be dreatning; how can it be true?" "Mademoiselle," she whispered, taking the hands of the astonished old lady, ''if you want to seea hap- py, thankful being, look at me--" "Really, Lucie? Mais je no comp - rends pas. Why only now? You could have been as happy as this. a ou m o a e long ago? What, odd creatures you German women are!" "Oh, mademoiselle, my heart was so weak and sick; have you never heard that sick people see everything differently from well ones?" "And now the crisis iS over?" Instead of answering, the girl threw her arms round her neck and kissed the good kind face. ••Wonderful," murmured the old lady. ''But lie down—he wishes it; you must be fresh for 1 o -morrow morning. If it is not infectious— really not infectious -1 Will watch the little one." "Oh, no," Lucie declared.

Frau Adler looked at her friend in surprise; she had already been much annoyed at her son's disappearance fro.it the ball. What was this now? Fraulein Selina was sitting in her tumbled green dress in the corner by the stove, sobbing. "You may well cry," scolded her mother. " Your father w ill see to drying your tears, you ungrateful child!" ''I can ' not help it," sobbed the girl. about her lips, and requested some coree. .
