"I am so happy with yourself, hut should I enjoy the same happiness, the same jMiace and the same contentment, when I change your fireside for an other ? I doubt it. No, no, I have plenty of time yet; I am only eight een years of age. While I am much honored hy the attentions of M. le Baron de Merillac, I repeat that I must refuse him." "My dear child," replied Mme. Odiot, "yon should reflect that one of these days you will lose nie. I have been suffering for a long time, and very little would suffice to carry me off. You will then find yourself without support, since your dear father is gone, and a husband is the natural support of a young girl when she has lost her parents. Bar on de Merillac is a very estimable young man. You will probably nev er get such another offer. He is enormously rich." "Then you know him?" asked An toinette, with surprise. "Without doubt." "Yet I have never seen him here," persisted the girl. "No, he has never been here, but I have met him several times at the house of Mme. de Saverny, where you would never accompany me, un der the pretext that she displeased you, and it was Mme. de Saverny who spoke to me of the baron as a man who would be suitable for you from every point of view." "I shall like Mme. de Saverny still less now," exclaimed the girl "What business is it of hers? If she is so anxious to get M. de Meril lac married, let her take him her self. She is a widow." "You are foolish, ma bonne cherie. M. de Merillac is twenty five years old, and Mme. de Saverny is fifty. She might be his mother. But you should not get angry. One would almost think that you had some other reason than the one you ive bo vehemently for refusing M. e Merillac." "Some other reason," stammered Antoinette, lowering her eyes, while a pretty little flush came into her cheeks. Mme. Odiot watched her smiling ly, and several minutes passed in silence. Antoinette took up her sewing again and, being aware no doubt that her mother's eyes were fixed upon her, presently rose and went over to the piano. Mme. Odiot stopped her as she went. "We will settle the matter once for all," she said, "never to return to it. The reason you refuse M. de Merillac is because you don't want to marry. Is it not?" "Mais oui, mamah," said Antoi nette in a voice that nevertheless lacked the ring of sincerity. "So that no matter who else may come to me to ask your hand I may tell him no and send him about his business ?" "Oh; I didn't say that perhaps later when I am older if the if I liked him," stammered the young girl, much embarrassed. "So be it. We will talk of some thing else. For instance, my dear nephew Gaston has now been with us for three weeks and has nearly finished his picture. He has been very busy making some sketches in the woods for another one he has in view. I think he is with your uncle at this moment. Let us go across and see him I mean my brother. He has not been very well of late. "Oh, no, mother; my uncle is quite well again," said Antoinette quickly. . "Ah, you have some news about lim?" Antoinette bit her lips. Her an swer had slipped out too ajuckly. . "The gardener told me," she add ed naively. Mme. Odiot pretended not to no tice her daughter's embarrassment "Will you come with me? I am coin at once. - As he is your guardi in I ought to let him know at once of your decision with regard to Ai de Merillac, for he knew all about him." "Oh, my uncle knew "Yes." ' "And he approved?" "Yes" "Then Gaston knew that It was proposed I should marry this bar- """Terhaps.'' . . . ; "But he has said nothing to me 1 thcTght you had not seen him!" !

"M. le Baron de Merillac and his son," she said. Then she withdrew. Antoinette hurriedly made up her mind to conceal herself, when there appear ed upon the threshold of the room her uncle and Gaston. She stood gaping at them without moving and examined them. "What does this mean?" she stam mered, turning toward her mother. "Ask your uncle and Gaston him self," replied Mme. Odiot. "It means," said M. Lambert very seriously, "that I come as your guardian to ask for you in marriage to the Baron de Merillac." "But the announcement just made by Justine?" interrupted An toinette, who could not understand why the baron and his father did not make their appearance and why her uncle made this request when they were evidently both waiting in the next room. Her interrogating glances passed from her mother to M. Lambert and Gaston, the latter of whom appear ed a little disturbed and nervous in spite of his smiling face. An toinette had dried her tears, but her eyes were still red and swollen from crving. Gaston noticed this. "You have been crying, Antoi nette?" he asked her while M. Lam bert and Mme. Odiot stood apart and conversed in low tones. "Yes," she replied to her cousin's question. "Why?" "1 cannot tell you." "Oh," was all he said. "Well, Antoinette," interrupted M. Lambert, "you have given me no answer." "Mother has already spoken to me about this gentleman, uncle, and I and" "And?" questioned Gaston's fa ther. "And," continued Antoinette, playing nervously with a skein of wool she held in her hands. "Well?" insisted M.Lambert. "Is it difficult to say ?" Gaston made a step in the direc tion of the young girl as though to encourage her. "Tell them, mother, what I an swered you," murmured the poor girl. Gaston's attitude was torture to her. "Well," began Mme. Odiot, ex changing a glance with her broth er, "my daughter does, not wish to get married!" Gaston made another step toward Antoinette and seized her hand. "Not even with me?" he asked, with a trembling voice. "With you?" cried the young girl, blushing and growing pale by turns. "Yes, with me, for I love youl Do you not know it?" ' "I was sure of it," replied M. Lambert, with a wink. "For goodness' sake, explain your selves !" exclaimed Antoinette, look ing at all of them in turn. "It is easy to explain," said Gas ton. "I thought I had guessed your lovo for me, and I told my father, confessing my love for you at the same time. He and your mother talked it over and laid this trap to see if your love was strong enough to resist a rich and titled lover." "Oh, Gaston ! And you have fall en into the trap V "Yes, petite cousine, for I, too, wanted to feel quite sure that I was being loved for myself alone. Now I know and can no longer doubt, can I? You will be my wife, won't you" ' "But she has not said so," inter rupted Mme. Odiot mischievously, without giving her daughter time to reply and having hard work herself to keep a serious face. "Yes, I have, mother f cried An toinette, with delightful simplicity. .... . .... IntmnaHa' An, auiuuiniei iii.u.v.. Thank you, my darling little cous in I" exclaimed Gaston, mad with jov. The young girl had flung herself upon her mother's neck snd em braced her with all ber heart "Naughty mother 1" she mur mured in her ear as she kissed her. "You are crying still V asked Mme. Odiot happily. "Oh, no, chere petite mere. I am laughing now." . An4 turning her radiant face to ward her uncle and cousin, she placed her hand in that of Gaston and aUowed him to draw her to hie shoulder in a warm embrace. From the French. A DRAMATIC INCIDENT.

New ork Press. H.r Identification Mark. A charmingly dressed young lady with a certain knowing air about her was seen to enter a Chestnut street bank the other day. The writer was just behind and, having busi ness at the same financial institu tion, followed this attractive daugh ter of Eve. She hurried to the first window, only to be told to take her place in line. As she had entered the building first, the writer allowed her to- take his position. The lady showed a certain amount of impa tience owing to the delay in getting to the head of the line, but once she had the paying teller's attention she offered him a check. "But," said the officer, "you must get some one to identify you." The lady looked at him a mo ment, but a solution soon presented itself to her, and she replied: "Oh, certainly; you can identify me by this mole under my lip." And when she left that window after five minutes of useless argu ment her face had lost that charm ing smile which it originally wore. Philadelphia Telegraph. Tha Paator and the Paoola.
