Ono evening a« the Min went down Among the golden hills. And silent, shadows, soft, and brown. Crept over vales and rills, I watched the dusky but a a-wing Dip down the dusky lea, Hearkening, hoard a maiden sing, •‘And you'll remember me.” “When other lips and other hearts" Caine drifting through the trees, "In language whose excess imparts” TV as borne upon the breesu. Ah, love is sweet, and hope is strong, And life's a summer seat •A woman’s soul is in her song, “And you'll remember me." Slill rippling from the throbbing throat, Withjoy akin to pam. There seemed a tear in every note, A liob in every strain. Soft as the twilight shadows creep Across the listless lea. The singer sang her love to sleep With, “You’ll remember mo.” —Cy Warman Lu New York Suit. AUNT HERISSON. Two young men, mounted on valuable steeds, burst into laughter as they left the Vichy yoati to take tho one through tho forest They certainly lacked generosity, but Cyrillo, the maid of Mlle, de SointJuirs, made an odd figure, mounted on the stiff old maro Leda, riding behind her mistress. Her silhouette was that of a warlike woman. The young men rode past her into tho forest, laughing and joking. Mlle, de Skint-Juirs overheard their silly banter. She turned her horse around and waited. She was handsome. Tho ride, tho brisk air and also the indignation hail beautified her complexion and given brilliancy to her blue eyes. Her nostrils palpitated like the heart of a wounded bird. She bit her lip and stood up in her stirrup, all trembling with anger. The young men approached her a little abashed. Ono of them opened his mouth, but had not time to speak before a young man rode up behind them and gave their horses two vigorous cuts with a whip. Being fine .animals, they tore down the road on a gallop, resisting the efforts of their chagrined riders terstop them. , * “Now, cousin, ” said the young man, saluting her, “let us return. ” And the ride back to the chateau was a happy one, for George de Semay and his cousin Mlle, de Saint-Juirs were engaged, and neither doubted that the little incident was ended, not knowing how much sadness it would cause them. The parents of the young cousin lived in a veritable chateau, but like Cyrille and Leda it had seen better days. The gardens were dilapidated, but the interior of the castle was still very beautiful Mme. de Saint-Juirs had died when her daughter Marcelle was 8 years old. Her sister Herisson had cared for the child as though she had been her own. Mlle. Herisson had never cared to marry. She was very pious. She was continually in a discussion with M. de Saint-Juirs because years before he fought a duel in the, garden behind the chateau, and she looked upon him as a criminal When Marcelle was 20, her aunt tried to induce her not to marry, but nil influence was useless. Marcelle, after overcoming Aunt Herisson’s numerous objections, was affianced to her cousin, George de Semay, an amiable and brave young gentleman. The day after the ride George was seated at a table in the Casino of Vichy when two young men approached him. ‘ ‘Pardon, but were you not yesterday on horseback in the forest?” “I was, monsieur.” “We were also, my friend and L ” “That does not interest me.”, “But it interests us. ” “Well, you two converse about it and leave me in peace. ” “If I am not mistaken, you were the protector of the stout servant” "Whom you insulted. You were the impertinent person who” “I do not receive personal lessons, monsieur. ” “It is a pity, ” said George, “for you need them. ” “You are an insolent person. ” George raised his arm, but controlled himself and said between his teeth: “Consider yourself challenged, monsieur.” Cards were exchanged, the seconds conferred, swords were chosen and the encounter to be the next day. George demanded that it should not be made public. He spent the night in writing to his parents and his fiancee. It was his first duel, and he was a little afraid. The next morning at the rendezvous he found the places marked off and the referee holding the swords by the points. He presented them to the duelists, and drawing back quickly said, ‘ ‘Proceed, gentlemen. ’ ’. George heard a bird sing joyously near him. He thought of Marcelle and advanced. His adversary stood still, held his sword out straight and simply warded off each blow George gave without any . attempt at retaliation. George nearly laughed. “Halt, ” said the referee. They took the first position again. Three times theyswent through the little farce until (jfeorge lost patience and resolved to finish it He threw himself on hia adversary, whose sWord’s point cut deep into his hand For arfew minutes it was a fist | fight; then some one separated the com- ; 1 batanta. Although George was bleu ling | badly, ho yrishfjd to continue, but his I friendi would not allow .it.. The Sec .ads ' and his adversary Were pate as death, and all the rest except George ‘gate a sigh of relief. 4 In the evening two days later the family were assembled in the salon of the chateau. Aunt Herisson read the newspaper. M. de Saint-Juirs and his daughter were making out a list for the invitations to the soiree following the betrothal?' George was drinking a cup of tea To explain his wound and his arm being in a sling—Aunt Herisson had already eyed'.it suspiciously—-he Z - ;

told that he had fallen from the top of a long flight of stone steps. His wound was made the .pretext for a thousand little attentions from his gentle fiancee. Marcelle put the sugifl- in his tea, stirred it, and I believe had her aunt’s back been turned she would havo tasted it for him, tho rogue! Suddenly as Aunt Herisson read she became very pale and trembled with emotion. She held the paper close to her lamp mid then dashed it on tho floor. “What is it?” asked M. do SaintJuirs. “It is, monsieur, that I do not wish an assassin in my house. ” And turning to George, “Go immediately, never to. return!” M. do Saint-Juirs took up tho paper and read aloud the paragraph of yesterday’s duel and of George receiving a wound H ' - Profound silenco followed. Aunt Herissoh watched George and said at last angrily: “Do you deny it, monsieur?” “No, madame.” “Theji'l have told you what to do. Marcello commenced to sob. “Marcelle, go to your room!” “It is not possible, ” said George in a voice that was choked by tears. “Go!” Marcelle went to her lover’s side, and with a tranquil courage said in a hollow voice: “George, we must say gqodby. I love you and will never love any one but you. Embrace me.”

The aunt was surprised at this audacity—to see an assassin embrace her niece before her eyes. Marcello tlirow a last look at her lover and readied the door as her. father’s voice said: “Stay, Marcelle!” The aunt turned to her brother-in-law. “I swear to you this man shall hot marry my niece. ” “I would let you know this house is mine, not yours.” “Very well” said the aunt; “it is for me to leave. ” Then he said to George: “Be a good fellow. Go now and return tomorrow, and I will arrange everything. ’ ’ George was about to leave when Marcello reopened the scene and raised her voice to defend him. • “If he had killed the other man, I could understand, but when he is the wounded one and you call him an assassin it is very hard!” “I have sworn,” repeated the aunt, "and I will never consent to this marriage. ” M. de Saint-Juirs, knowing her obstinacy, then said: “Very well You will not stay her& " “So let it be.” But now Marcelle spoke: “If, my aunt, you will stay, I will not marry without your consent. You replace my mother and have given me all the kind attentions of a mother. Though I will never cease to love George, I will not disobey you ’ ’ “But it is all wrong,’ said M. de Saint-Juirs. “No, papa, it is my duty.” And the young girl broke down and hastened to her room, where she gave away to tears. George went to Paris. Marcelle little by little lost her color, her'animation, her life. She was failing rapidly, and it worried Aunt Herisson. She confided in the good old cure, and the result was that Marcelle was surprised the next morning by a loving letter from George. They were now to be allowed to correspond under cover of M. Barbon, in Vichy. The letters came with perfect regularity each month, but with no postmark. Marcelle discussed this point with Cyrille, who watched one night to see how tho letter reached Marcelle’s table in the little blue salon. She saw Mlle. Herisson herself put it there. This was made known to M. de Saint-Juirs, who arranged a little counterplot. The next month when Mlle. Herisson opened the door of the little bine salon to carry in the letter she saw M. de Saint-Juirs, George de Sernay and Marcelle, who was half laughing, half crying. The young people dropped before her on their knees, kissed tier hands and said: “Your heart has melted toward us. Now do no more and take on# two heads in your hands and bless us. ’ ’ “Yet I had sworn, you rogues, ” said Aunt Herisson. ‘ ‘God will not reproach you for breaking your word. ’ ’ —Translated From the French For Cincinnati Post Aa Others See Us.
