MARLETTE'S HAIR.
Little Mariette li:nl loiiff yellow hair.
It was no long that it fell almost t
her knees whenever t-lio pulled her
comb from it ami tossed her head, like
a bird shaking it- plmiic-. It w as as
yellow as ripened grain and showed
golden lights that made one imagine
that it had caught and imprisoned the
light of the morning sun whose rays
had indiscreetly lingered to kiss In r
white shoulder.- as she braided In r
hair before the window. Ah, the
lieiutifiil tresses of Mariette! Many
youthful gallants dreamed of them.
Among these was .lean, a young man
f twenty, and una line day dean and
Marieltu were married.
.lean was a clever, merry youth, who
'oukeil upon life as if it were a good
farce. He was gilted by nature with
a talent for drawing. It was by this
talent he expected to make his way in
the wa r! I.
Well, Muriel te and dean were mar
ried. Why? llei i'.uso they loved each
other, nf course. .lean, who treated
Marietle as a eniurade, carried his
heart in his hand, due evening, when
they had clasped hands for a longer
time than u-iial, Marhtte found his
heart in her little palm. The giddy
heaih'd .lean had forgotten it. To
punish him, Mariette kept it. That is
the whole story.
The day after their marriage .lean,
after .searching his pockets. It. mid
three franc.
They will lmt la-t u.i very long,''
hesaid.
Tiny hardly lasted until dinner,
which was somewhat abridged, .lean
and Mariette, how . vcr. recovered
themselves at supper ,i supper of fond
tresses and k'ses.
Two days afterward Jean was sur
pri cd hy the receipt of live hundred
Cranes. An mn-li- who lived in the
provinces had sent it t i him as a wed
ding gilt. Alter having piuehed '.I' ll
ether to assure themselves that tiny
were nut dreaming, the e uiplo hcgati
tv lay their plans, and talked of Inly
ing i vcrylliitig in Paris. Mariette
was the lir.st to become s- rimis.
Hive me the money," she said. "I
w ill lake eare of the cash box It is
nee. ssnry for n- to ven iinie and
th nk id the future."
.lean, with a n.yal gesture, handed
her the l ank notes, ami took no limie
thought of the money . tine thought
only troiil'led him a little. When he
went into the street and saw himself
in the large glasses of the store win
dows he found that he had a Imurg.ois
appearance and he w as i onstautly ex
amining himself to see if he had not
i educed his obesity somewhat. Then,
in erder to make himself slender, he
would run ahont Paris searching for
w irk.
At the end of a fortnight Mariette
Ii au t" pcrienee great uneasiness.
It could hardly l e helieved- the .MM
traiics were nearly eshausted. Was it
pnssilde? Was there net some magic
under it all? Mariette became grave
nnil rejected a k-ng time.
"You know," she said to Jean in the
vening, "it is eight days since you
..ave had work."
"I know that very well," he replied.
"Hut why that serious air? Have we
no more money '"
"Yes, yes," she answered, "only a
man ought not to he doing nothing."
"You are right. I will look fur
work, lmt it is not easy to find."
Kight days later Mariette hecanio
very nnxioii. She could no longer
conceal from herself the fact that star
vation was at hand. She said nothing
to dean, knowing that he was doing
his best to find work. She tried to
imagine what would he the end of this
terrible misery. She began to prac
tice the most extreme economy.
At the end of a week Mariette had
become a most prudent as well as a
most clever manager.
One morning, as .lean was about to
depart, Mariette was seized with a lit
of weeping. One hundred sous only
one hundred sous were left only
enough to last two (lavs -and then!
VOL. VII.
Pi'ciiledly everything looked black'
She made her toilet, however, but not
without sighing. As she was putting
up her hair before the glass she found
tli ll she had no hairpins left.
"Another expense!" she groaned.
When she went into the street she
entered the shop of the hairdresser al
the corner to buy a package of hairpins
for two sous. The hairdresser was
busy in a corner of his shop braiding a
plait of blonde hair which was fastened
by a nail to a wooden head.
'You have no need of tha'," hesaid,
glancing toward Mariette's hair.
"No; fortunately not," replied Mari
ette, "for thai must, !. dear.
"Oh, it costs twenty-live francs."
Indeed:"
"Yes, for the labor of arranging il,
you know, brings a good price."
"To he sure! hut the hair alone,
that is worth something';"
"Indeed it is! This now is worth fif
teen francs."
"Fifteen francs: How much would
mine be worth on my head?"
"Let Ilie see il."
Marietle drew out her comb, and, as
tilie shook her head, her luxuriant, hair
fell about her.
"Ah," exclaimed the hair dre-ser, "a
beautiful lle.nl of hair."
Then, suddenly red raining his en
thusiasm as l.c scented business, he
addel: -
"Thai is worth -well, a hundred
f rimes would .;y you well for it. I'o
yn'i wish to sell it y"
"Not to-day," replied Mariette, as
she put up her hair, "but one of the-e
days, perhaiis. For some lime it ha
tired my head very much.''
"I!ut we ciiuld arrange not to cut il
all at once. I would buy it by the
piece.
"That w ill be a good idea. Well, we
will see."
And Mariette went homeward in a
thoughtful mood, .lean had ju-t re
turned for dinner.
".lean," said Mariette, with a little
laugh, "d.i you know what the hair
dresser below has just proposed to nit V
"No."
"He wishes to give me a hundred
francs fur my hair."
"What an absurd idea "
"Oh, I don't know! When mir money
give out that would be a resource
worth thinking of."
.lean suddenly work"d himself into
an angry ssiou, saying that if ever
she ditl such a thing Well, What
would he tin? He did not know, but
Well, anyway, only a woman could
have thought of such an ab-urd idea.
Marielte made no reply. A fort
night later as she wan combing her
hair, .lean, who had forgitlen some
thing, hastily en ere I the room.
"lioi diiy," he said, embracing his
wife.
Tlem he suddenly paused.
"I. o -ik here! This is strange. One
would say your hair w as falling out."
"I in you think soy" answered Mari
etle, drawing her hair through her
hands. "Yes, it has seemed to me for
soin time ast that it has been falling
out somewhat."
"Then buy a nair ic-toraiive."
"Hah! they are worthless."
Kight days ai terward, as he leaned
over the bed to say good by to Mariette,
who was rather lazy that morning,
.lean said:
Decidedly, your hair is becoming
thin; you have not nearly so much an
formerly."
"Yes, y s," replied Marielte, sinking
back and burying her neck in her pil
low; "it falls out continually. Well,
win n 1 hav.' none left you will no
longer love me!"
"Yeinleserve not to he loved for
saying so. lint be patient. If I con
clude my regulations to-day we will
bring back your hair. I proniis you
that."
At mid-day .lean returned, entering
the room so hurriedly that he failed
to close the door I ehiitd him.
"There," he cried, "the bargain is
concluded. It appears that I have
talent, talent enough. I am engaged
for HitO francs a month. Peru anil
tioleomla! And to begin with, I have
received pay for half a month in ad
vance. Look at that! I am rolling in
wealth:"
And the triumphant .lean threw live
Louis on the table.
Marielte, astonished, looked at him
with admiration.
"Hut," said she suddenly, "why have
you all those bottles V"
"To restore your hair, madame," re
plied Jean. "I have a dozen bottles of
the best hair restorative. 1 have rilled
all tin' perfumers."
"And for that?"
"Yes. 1 paid only fifty francs; no
i Hurt'."
Mariette almost fell to the floor.
"Ah! you have done a lino thing!"
(.he exclaimed.
"II ow so'f"'
"Why, my hair is not falling out.
Here, look at it,"

And, taking her hair in both hands,
she pulled it without moving a muscle.
Then, as her astonished husband
stared at her, with open mouili, she
broke into a hearty laugh.
Hut Jean suddenly approae'ed In r,
and, seizing her haiuN, -.thru -t them
aside.
' It is not possible!" be said, in a
changed tone.
"Why not p is-diilc? ' an-wi red Mari
etle. 'rut! You hae cut your hair?"
'Well.it was necessary --to live, a
we were out of money a month ago."
Jean for a moment iimaim-l s lent
and motionless 'linn he tenderly
pressed his wife to his bo:,mn and
kissed her forehead.
As she let him du this without say
ing a word, Mariette peivcivd two
large tears fall upon her hair.
"Ah, foolish fellow!" she said, "be
I reasonable. My hair will grow again -I
have no fear--for those t wo tears will
do it more good than your do'en bot

A Fish Story.

Did you ever seo one?" asked
Jones.
No; but I've seen a man eating
pumpkin pie, and a whole crowd look

Then Jones laid down his paper ami
explained that a man-eating shark
was a large fish on exhibition at one
of the markets.
So you said,"answered Mrs. June
calmly, and if the man prefers shark
to other lish, I don't see as its any

Then Jones tore out a handful ol
his hair, but remained silent. - ''
