FORGIVENESS by Kiusrois roei-m:. Tn the house, u lux hivo of work people, situated in the Kite Iciamhrc, where for six nnuitlis Tony Police hud occupied it I in, everyone thought that he wan n widower. H could not have been a widower very long, for hia little boy Adrien, w ho liveil with him ami who was always well enreil for, was not more than ti yearn olil. Yet neither of them wore mourning. Karby every day Tony Koliee, who was employed as a eoiiiiositor in n printing limine in the Ijunrtier Latin, left hia room w itli tin; child still half asleep on his shoulder. He left the little one nt school mnl called for him again at night when returning from work. Then they went shopping to gether, after which they shut them selves up in their garret, ami nothing more was seen of tle'iu until the fol lowing inorniiu . The kind-hearted gossips were full Of pity for the poor fellow. He coiihlil't he mole than III mnl was still good looking, although mu! ami pule and with silver streaks in his lilaek heard, ltehiud his hack they said: 'The man ought to marry again." They wished to make his neipiaiut auce. ( ieuerally this is not dillieiiit in tuich a house, where the tenants live with open doors. I'.nt Tony had a very reserved iminner, iiud bowed so distantly and coldly- although polilely to his neighbors when he met them on the stairs that they were afraid to approach him. "No, ladies," said the doorkeeper, who was inclined to lie sentimental, ' 'that widower will never many again, mark iny words. The other Sunday I paRsed him in the cemetery at Mont parnnf.se. His wife is doubtless liuried there. It cut me to the heart to see the poor man with the motherless little chap at his side. He must have doted ou his wife." Certninly Tony had licen very de Voted to his wife and would not lie Consoled now that he had lost her -lint he was not a widower. His life had been simple, hut not by any menus happy. Although a con scientious workman he was not partic ularly good at his trade, and therefore until he was !1(1 he had not succeeded in making a tolerably good living, and could not think of marrying. When ho did resolve to marry, he ought to have chosen n sensible, economical wife, who had known want as he had. But love does not occupy itself with such trifles. Tony lost his head over ft pretty, light-minded, light-hearted flower girl of 1'.', honest doubtless, but frivolous, and thinking more of her toilet than of anything else under the sun. It must he admitted, how ever, that she could make a dress out of a few scraps of stuff. He had saved a little niouey with which to start housekeeping. Among other things he bought a big cupboard with a glass door, in which his wife Could admire herself the whole day. They were married and at first lived Very happily. They had two modest rooms on the tilth floor of a house in the Boulevard de Port Koynl, with a little balcony from which they had a bird's-eye view of Paris. Hvery night on leaving work Tony Uobec disguised his workman's clothes under a smart overcoat and waited for his wife, who presently appeared from her little booth iu the U.ie Kaint-Hotiore, and arm in arm they returned to their bumble home. At last a son was born and was put out to nurse. The parents went to Bee hini onee a fortnight. Hut at the end of a year the child died of convul sions. The parents were, however. Soon afterward eiuisoled by the birth of little Adrii n. Having had such a aad existence, Clementine resolved to bring up the child herself, and gave up her little store in order to be able to attend to Ju r baby. She took iu work, but did uot make more thuu lo.lf of what, she had previously earned. Nevertheless, she continued to dress well. In vain did Tony work desperately; tho household becumo e'libaiTiisied and Kteopitcl ill debt. When the child was weaned ho was sent out during the day to a chil dren's asylum, and the mother often unoccupied, bee lino tired of her in activity, .lust think of her poor hus band, old before his time, worn out with working for and worrying about his giddy, pretty wife of 2U. One evening w hen Tony entered the house with the child, whom ho had picked up at the asylum as he had passed, he found ui! envelope on t!.C mantelpiece, from which, when ho op ened it, fell Clementine's wedding ling. In the letter she hade- gnod-by to her husband and child and begged their forgiveness. Tony's wife (led ill the beginning of May. At the end of July, Tony sold the grenti r part of his furniture in order to pay his debts, an I loved into the Hue lh-himbic. Toward the en I of September he received it letter from hi-i wife four incoherent and desperate juices plentifully wiedied with teals-ill which she announced that she had repented ami implored pardon. This was all very painful to Tuny, but he was proud, and the letter remained unanswered. He heard no more from Clementine. Christmas eve he went, as was his cus tom, to the cemetery at Monlpurinis.se, then" to place on the grave of his den I child a few froen viole. s and roses. For the first tine! Tony went alone with the child, and, strange as it may seem, mi entering the cem tery he sniveled more poignantly than ever be fore the absence of that wife who had so cruelly dec -ive I hi Ml. Where is she now and wliit is she doing?" thought he. On arriving at the grave he started, for at the foot of it were strewn sev eral little playthings such as the poor give to Heir children- trumpet, a jnek-iii-the-bov, and a whistle. They had evi lelitlv just been placed there, for tlcy were ipiite new. "Oh, what pretty playthings!" cried little Adricii excitedly. Hut his father, having detected a scrap of paper pinned to one of the toys, opened it and read : "For Adrieii, from his brother Felix, who is now with the child of Christ." Suddenly he found the boy pressing against him and murmuring, "Mam ma." There, only a few paces away, under a clump of cypress trees, knelt the mother. Sip' was clad iu a wretch ed dress and a thin shawl. Her eyes were sunken and her checks' hollow and pale. She was looking at her husband, and her clasped hands were stretched toward him in supplication. Tony pushed the boy gently toward her, saying: 'Adrieii, go kiss your mother," The poor creature strained tin' child convulsively to her breast and covered him with kisses. Then rising mid turn ing toward her husband, but always with the air of a Niippliant, she said : "How good of you!" Hut he, already at her side, said huskily, almost harshly: Ioii't talk. Take my arm." It is not far from the cemetery to the Hue Ihlambrc, and they walked quickly and without uttering a word. The child, engrossed in his newly found treasure, trotted along at their side, thinking only of his toys. When they reached the house the door-keeper was standing on the steps. "Madam," said Tony to her, "this is niv wife. Shehaslieen sixmonthsiu th" country with her mother, who was ill, ami now sh-t has come back to live w ith me." When they reached the room Tony made his wile sit down in the only iirm chair, placed the boy iu her lap, and opened a drawer from which he took an old cardboard box. Out of this he took the wedding ring, which he pressed ou his w ife's linger. Then, without a word of reproach or bitter ness about the sorrowful past, silently, gravely, with the overflowing gener osity of a simple, childlike heart, he gently pressed his lips to her forehead as the seal of his forgiveness.

The use of imitations of I'liited States money without criminal inten tion for advertising purposes is still prevalent, notwithstanding the efforts of the government to put n stop to it. Shopkeepers and m-uiufiie'.urcrs know that devices of this kind attract atten tion. I'liring the lust year, says the Washington Star, nearly $l,lMiit,iMM worth of such imit.ttioiis ot the nation al currency has been confiscated. The specimens thus secured run all the way from greenbacks issued by cheap eating-houses to supposititious wallets with bills sticking out of the cuds, which are scattered ulunj the street. People pick them up, find that they are made of paper, and rend the adver tisements inside. The Hat currency issued by business colleges used to make an immense amount of trouble, much of it being worked off upon tin Hiisjiectiug immigrants. Most thi; has been gathered in and destroyed. 'J'he secret service declares that there is a popular mania for imitating the currency. Tr lefts an- made alter the pattern of silver (punters, calen dars are ornamented wit h pictures of $) silver certificates an I clusters of coins are employed for paper weights. Coin counterfeiters have adopted tho dodge of always having a lew of these coin clusters ou hand.
