Fifty dollars a month is not much df a salary, but I hail arrived only a fortnight before, anil bail no acquaint ances in tlio country; therefore I cnulil not presume to ask for bettor ti int. My two miilrt. M. liabut assured mo, wero very well hohavoil children; t ho girl was just fifteen, already a young lady, and the ten-year buy was equally npl at Ktutly. After all 1 was only re quired to give live huiir.H a day to leaching; the rtst of my time was al together my own, to be devoted ei'her to work or sleep, as I pleased. "And remember." he said "your pa vilion is ai such a distant n from t ha family resilience that you can fed per fectly at horn there and pcrlectly quiet. Of course everybody will treat you wiili the cunsiileralinn due to j our position in the household. You will observe that my pour old mother's head is a little weak, but slid is the kindest of souls." I accepli d the situation. Ombrevillo is situated on the heights of Moka. The iniile itself walked quite cautiously up the ascents, and as I was careful to keep the ani mal at a walk on the descents also, I came to the conchi-ion that 1 might just as well walk. I got down. Without troubling himself further about my wishes, my black w ho guid ed the vehicle soon begun to urge his animal rapidly along the road, w hich made a shi'p turn at the bottom of a long sleep slope. When I reached the turn both vehicle and negro bad disap peared. I w as all alone. I reckoned that, there was scarcely another league to travel, and as it was not quite sev en o'clock, I would be able to be in time for breakfast. It was in April. A threatening Monn had been growling nil the day before on the other side of Lo Police summit ; mi either side of the mad tho trees drenched in torrential rain, shook down showers of water from the leaves with every breath of wind; the water of the ditches to right and left ran with a loud murmur under the shadow of the high grass; tho air was fresh and all impregnated with sweet smells; the sun still hung at the edge of the forest curtain; it was a delight to walk. Front the bottom of my heart 1 thanked the iuti'liigent black who had imposed this pleasure upon me, and I continued on my way. As J walked on I began to dream. What future did this new land hold in reserve tor mei I had not come to it with any idea of making a fortune - (although a young ni.tti of twenty five, 1 had acquired enough common sense to save me from such allusions) but only .to earn a good living, and lay by enough to enable mo, w hen an old man, to return to Franco and sleep at lust under the shadow of my own village spire. Meanwhile, after half-an-hotir walk, I had reached a point at which three different roads forked off from the main one. One, of them, I knew must lead to Ombrevllle -but which? I invoked the Triple Hecate, sat down upon a rock, and waited. A negro passing on the run, pointed out to me which road to take. Soon I caught sight of the lofty chimney of the sugar-mill then the house itself, buried in a thick grove of mango trees, and, as 1 feared being late, I qvickened my step. I'nder the veran dah, already crowded, I saw people rushing back and forward runninir, and no one noticed me as I ascended the front steps except a big fat negress crouching at the entrance, who sobbed and cried with renewed despair at my coming. There was on the sofa at full length, lay a young girl -almost a child ! Her long, bright hair, all streaming with water, fell over the back of the sofa, and had dripped up on the verandah until a little pool had formed upon the Hags. She was whit er than a piece of marble; the vlo'ets pf death were on her compressed lips; j. A .p. ii j"' --zi ri. t .UI..JMI-- i!iiiiuu...,..LUiiiiiiiiiiiii urn ' "ii J i" her lifeless anus lay rigidly straight by her side, nod M. II ibtlt, ou his knees beside her, was kissing one of her bands. "Drow ned, my dear sir, she got drowned," said a good old lady of about sixty years of age, who came t mo, holding out lu-r hand in the friendliest manner imaginable. "Hut you have walked here," she continued; "you must bo tired. Of course you will take something? Myrtil !" "M inima ! oh, mamma!" exclaimed M. liabut, raising his head. "You s-ce," ho said to me, with a sob, "you si e she w as out bathing; tho river sud denly rose, ami " His head fell forward again over the little whito hand, to which his lips clung. "Myrlil ! Myrtil !" again cried tho good lady, "bring a glass of Madeira to the gentleman. Or perhaps you would pr'fcr romcsliing else';1" 1 quest iutied the family. The girl lunl not been t wenty minutes under water. And yet they had done noth ing had not even tried to do any thing. I gave my orders brielly--!hey were obeyed. They had laid her on her back. I lifted her lo ad so that il leaned side, way on the left. Her teeth were clenched. Mow col 1 her hps te-iticd when 1 pressed my own upon them ! The poor father, senseless with grief, allowed us to doas we thought iiest, and the grandmother walked hurriedly to and Iro, busy, fussy, always calling Myrtil, and declaring "the break I at will never be ready, and here are all the people coining !" And a carriage in f.r t suddenly drew up before the front do r step. Two young gills descended with a happy burst, of laughter. 1 can see them even now as they stopped, look ed, turned pal and stood there with anus twined about each other's waist, and eyes big with terror- silent atei motionless. Half an hour had passul. What ! was not that a llush we saw, montring to the colorless cheeks. Oh .' how f r Vint apiaur I utter' d that moment to the goml ;. id ! And it seemed to me the arm 1 hi Id bad become b-.-s rigid. At that moment a horseman came up at full gafop. "Myrli.! Myrtil! take the doctor's horse to the stable !" cried the good lady, descending the steps to meet the physician. "Ah, doctor, 1 knew it ! -your powder could not t!o me any good. The whole night, doctor, 1 was in pain Ah ! how badly I slept ." The doctor came directly to us. "(iood ! young man ! - very good in deed ! That is ju.it w hat should have been do-ie. "Come, come !" he cried in a joyous tone, after a few moments had passed. 'We are all right now w e shall get tiff with nothing worse than a fright ! Why you old coward, have I not al ready told you so. Here ! let me see a happier face on you !" And he gave M. liabut a vigorous slap on the .shoulder. Then suddenly turning to me, he asked: " lint you when are you from! I don't remember tver seeing you here before." "1 came from Ihitl.tny, doctor, by way of I'aris and I'orl-Lonis." "Look ! -look !" - he had already turned his back upon inc "she is opening her eyes !" M. liabut involuntarily seized my hand, and dragged me to the sofa. Mio opened her eyes. They were blue - the eyes 1 always liked best. "Ilelene ! my ow n Ilelene .'" mur mured tho poor father, stooping to kiss her forehead. "(b ntle ! you !" e.vlaimo I the doc tor, pulling him back. "Let her have air, if you please ?" M. liabut drew back, without let ting go my hand. Myrtil returned from the stable. "Myrtil ! Myrlil ! well, how about that breakfast? Is it going to be ready to-day, or to-morrow ?" "Mttfoi ! I'm ready for it !" cried the doctor. "That gallop gave me a ferocious appetite." "Why, Myrtil ! servo the Madeira to those gentlemen !" This time Myrtil obeyed. It was four in the afternoon when I left my pavilion to return to the house. M. Kabul came to look for me on the verandah. "Come," he said, ft u can set her now." lie brought ine clote ij her bed. Her dear blue eyes still had dark cir cles about them; but the blood was circulating under the clear skin; for she blushed at my approach. "This is he, my Ilelene; if it hadn't been for him" and his voice choked. "D.in't Iret any more, papa. 1 am only sorry about my b eket. Do yon think they will eer be able to find it?" The locket, contain d her mother's hair. It was barely daylight when I reached the- river, Tho negro who had taken her out of the water had sdiown me the evening before tho pre cise spot where the current had car ried her away, and also the place where he had found her about fifty yards further down. It was a long narrow hasin, shut in by great jamro ses, whose tufted branches nu t above and stretched from one bank to tho other. The pale light, flickering through the loaves, made gleams here and there upon the water liko the re flection of molten lead; ln-yond the darkness was complete; it looked per fectly black there. I dived and brought up three flat pebbles ! lint breakfi'st would not be ready until ten o'clock; Iliad plen ly of time. 1 5 v eight o'clock (he bottom of the basin had no mysteries for me. There was not a single cabot lish that I had not disturbed beneath his rock -not a single camarotl that I had not com pelled to crawl backward into his hole. Hut the locket was not there accord ingly it must be further down. I left the ba-iin and followed the course of the stream interr igating all the roots, exploring all the boulders, ques tinning every tuft of grass. I was about to past nn, when I siw a little serpent, like a thin sill; string caught upon the roct of a wild strawberry plant, wriggling in the current. I seized it - it was the locket ! she would not come down to break fa -t; but M. liabut told me she would certainly come down to dinner. S'i') was still a little weak, but that was all. Man is a selfish creature; the medal lion remained in my pocket. While they were laying; the table that evening, I stole softly into the dining-room. When her father had led her to her seat, and she unfolded her napkin, she found a lift le ho in it. "What is this? Another of your attempts to spoil me, papa?" Hut ti e astonished lock of M. liabut must have convinced her more than In-, denial. Mi" opened the little box. "My locki f ! niv locket !" she cried, putting it to her lips and kissing it over and over again. I w atched every kiss I looked at her out of the cor ner of my eye. Finally, her eyes met my own she understood. I'.ul the little mysterious beauty did not even say "Thank you." And the long and short of It is, dear sir, that I never gave Ilclono, who be came my w ife, a single lesson. Ah, yes, wrl-lnil I taught her how to swim. The Chinese at Table. Chinamen consider the stomach the source of intellectual life, and there fore the fattest, mangoes for the w isest one. They all'tct to believe that for cigncrs come to China to cat because they havo not enough to eat at home. It is considered a mark of refined po liteness to treat, a guest or a visitor to a meal at any time of tho day. only those Chinamen who have families take their meals at homo; the rest eat at hotels. They usually have two substantial meals a day - one an hour after getting up in the morning, the other between three and four o'clock in the afternoon. The well-to-do class take three or four meals a day. often the father alone eats meat, while the lest of the family have to be satisfied with rice. I'.mr families usually get their meals from street enders. The well-to-do ones employ cooks, the lat ter getting their degrees and diplomas like men of science. The) Celestials use no tablecloths, napkins, knives, forks, spoons, dishes, plates or glass ware. Instead of napkins they use packages of thin soft paper, which also servo them for handkerchiefs. Al'tei using I hey throw thein away. Kadi guest has a saucer, a pair of stick, a package of paper and a minute cup with salt saucer. The Chioese women uevei" dine with the men. Kvervhody smokes during the eating of a formal dinner, and the dinner is crowned by story or legend narrated by some more or less known orator. No topic of general interest is discussed at such dinners; but a gastronomist who knows all about the prepariag of food re ceives attention. A tViicrous Little Hoy.
