THE HELMET.

“But, uncle, I love my cousin.” “Get out.”’ “Give her to me!” “Don’t bother me!” “It will be my death!” “Nonsense! You’ll console yourself with some other girl.” “Pray ” My unue, whose back had been toward me, whirled around, his face was red to bursting, and brought his closed fist down upon the counter with a heavy thump. “Never!” he cried; "nevier! Do yon hear what I say 7” And as 1 looked at him beseechingly and with joined hands he went on: “A pretty husband you look like! Without a sou and dreaming of going into housekeeping! A nice mess I should .i;ake of it by giving you my daughterl It’s no use your insisting. You know that when I have said ‘No’ nothing under the sun can make me say ‘Yes!’ ” I ceased to make any further appeal. I knew my uncle —about as headstrong an old fellow as could be found In a lay’s search. 1 contented myself with giving vent to a deep sigh, and then •' em on with the furbishing of a big luuble-lianded sword, rusty from point to hilt. This memorable conversation took ;i*aci\ in fact, in the shop of my maerual uncle, a well-known dealer in annuities and objets d’art, 53 Rue des ’.laquettes, at the sign of the “Maltese Toss"—a perfect museum of euriosiles. The walls were hung with Marseilles and old Rouen china, facing ancient cuirasses, sabers and muskets and plcTire frames; below these were arranged > ; d cabinets, coffers of all sorts and -tatties of saints, one-armed or one■gged for the most part and dilapidat’d as to their gilding; then, here and i here. In glass cast's, hermetically closed and locked, there were kuiekkn&cks a iulinite variety—lachrymatories, tiny .rns, rings, precious stones, fragments »r marble, bracelets, crosses, neek-lai-es. medals and miniature Ivory gtatleltes, the yellow tints of which In the Min took momentarily a deshllke transparency.

Time out of mind the shop had belonged to the Coduberts. It pussed regularly from father to son, and my unde—his neighbors said —could not but be the possessor of a nice little fortune. Ile.d in esteem by all, a municipal councillor, impressed by the Importance and gravity of his office, short, fat, highly choleric and headstrong, but at bottom not in the least degree an unkind sort of man—such was my uncle Oorubert, my only living male relative, who as soon as I left school had elevated me tc i he dignity of chief and only clerk and shopman of the “Maltese Cross.” But my uncle was not only a dealer in antiquities and a municipal eouuellr. lie was yet more, and above all, ;ie father of my cousin Rose, with •.’horn I was naturally in love. To come back to the point at which I Tigressed Without paying any attention to the ghs which exhaled from my bosom , 'bile sconring tbe rust from my loug, wo-handed sword, my uncle, magni.viug glass in hand, was engaged In the examination of a lot of med&ls which ne had purchased that morntng. Sudlenly lie raised his head; 5 o’clock was striking. “The council!” he cried.

When my uncle pronounced that august word It made a mouthful; for a pin he would have saluted It bareheaded. But this time, after a moment’s ••onslderation, he tapped his forehead and added. In a tone of supreme relief; “No, the sitting does not take place before to-morrow—and I am forgetting that I have to go to the railway station to get the consignment of which 1 was advised this morning.” Rising from his seat and lying down his glass, he called out: “Rose, give me my cane and hat!” Then, turning toward me, he added, in a lower tone and speaking very quickly:

“As to you—don’t forget our converaatlon. If you think you can make me say ‘l'es,’ try It!—but don't think you’ll succeed. Meanwhile, not a word to Rose, or, by St. Barthelemy, my patron of happy memory, I’ll Instantly kick you out of doors!” At thnt moment Rose appeared with my uncle’s cane and hat, which she handed to him. He kissed lor ou the forehead; then, giving mo a last but eloquent look, hurried from the shop. I went on scouring my double-handed •word. Rose came quietly toward me. “What Is the matter with my father?" she asked. “He seems to be angry with yon.” I looked at her—her eyes were so black, her look so kind, her mouth so rosy and her teeth so white that I told her all—my love, my suit to her father ■od his rough refusal. 1 could not help i t- -after all, It was his fault He was f aot there; I determined to brave his an- I ger. Besides, there is nobody like timid persons for displaying courage under certain circumstances. My cousin said nothing; she only held down her eyes—while her cheeks were as red as those of cherries In May. 1 checked myself. “Are you angry with me?” I asked tremblingly. “Are you angry with me, Rose?” She held out to me her hand. On that, my heart seething with audacity, my head on Are, I cried: "Rose—l swear it! I will be your husband I” And as she shook her head and looked at me sadly I added: “Oh, I well know that my uncle is self-will-ed, but I will be more self-willed still; and, since he must be forced to say ‘Yes,’ I will force him to say it.” “But how?” asked Rose. Ah! how? That was exactly the difficulty. But, no matter; I would find a way to surmount It At that moment a heavy stop resounded in the street. Instinctively we moved away from each other; 1 returned to my double-handed sword and Rose, to keep herself In countenance, set to dusting with a comer of her apron a little statuette in Its faded fed velvet ease. My uncle entered. Surprised at finding us together, he stopped short and looked sharply from one to the other. We each of us went on rubbing without raising our heads. “Here, take this,” said my uncle, handing me a bulky parcel from under his ana. “A splendid purchase, you'll

The subject did not Interest me In the least I opened the parcel and from the enveloping [wiper emerged a steel helmet —but not an ordinary helmet, oh, no—a superb, a monumental morion, with gorget and pointed visor of strange form. The visor was raised and I tried to discover what prevented It from being lowered. “It will not go down—tite hinges have got out of order,” said my uncle, “but it's a superb piece, and when it has been thoroughly cleaned and touched up will look shall be your to-raorrow’s job.” “Very good, uncle,” I murmured, not daring to raise my eyes to his. That night, on returning to my room, lat once went to bed. I was eager to be alone and able to think nt nty ease. Night brings counsel, It is said, and I had great need that the proverb should prove true. But after lying -awake for an hour without receiving any assistance I fell to sleep and till next morning did nothing but dream the oddest dreams. 1 saw Rose ou her way to church In a strange bridal costume, a fourteenth century cap three feet high on her head, but looking prettier than ever. Then suddenly the scene changed to moonlight, In which Innumerable helmets and pieces of old china were dancing a wild farandole, while my uncle, clad In complete armor and with a formidable halberd In his band, conducted the bewildering whirl. The next day—ah I the next day!—l was no nearer. In vain, with clenched teeth, I scoured the Immense helmet brought by my uncle the previous even-ing-scoured It with such fury as almost to break the iron; not an Idea came to me. The helmet shone like a sun. My uncle sat smoking his pipe lin'd watching me, but I could think of nothing—of no way of forcing him to give me his daughter.

At 8 o’clock Rose went into the country, whence she was not to return until dinner time, in the evening. On the threshold she could only make a sign to me with her hand; my uncle had not left us alone for a* single instant. He was not easy in his mind; 1 could see that by his face. No doubt he bad not forgotten our conversation of the previous evening. I went on rubbing at my helmet “You have made It quite bright enough—put it down,” said my uncle. I put it down. The storm was gathering; I could not do better than allow It to blow over. But suddenly, as if overtaken by a strange fancy, my uncle took up the enormous morion and turned and examined it on all sides. “A handsome piece of armor, there Is no doubt about it; but it mußt have weighed pretty heavily ou its wearer’s shoulders,” he muttered; and, urged by I know not what demon, he clapped it on his head and latched the gorget piece about his neck. Struck almost speechless, 1 watched ! what he was doing—thinking only how ' ugly he looked. Suddenly there was a sharp sound—as if a spring had snapped—and—crack 1 —down fell the visor; and there was my uncle, with his head in an iron cage, gesticulating and swearing like a pagan. I could contain myself no longer, and j burst into a roar of laughter; for my ! uncle, stumpy, fat and rubicund, presented an Irresistibly comic appearance. Threateningly he came toward me. “The hinges!—the hinges, fooll” he yelled. I could not see his face, but I felt that It was red to bursting. “When you have done laughing, Idiot!” he cried. But the helmet swayed so oddly on his shoulders, his voice came from out it in such strange tones, that the more he gesticulated, the more he yelled and threatened me, the louder I laughed. At that moment the clock of the Hotel de Vllle striking 5 o’clock was beard. "The municipal council!” murmured my uncle, In a stifled voice. “Quick, help me off with this beast of a machine! We’ll settle our business afterward!” But, suddenly likewise, an idea—a wild, extraordinary Idea—came into my head; but then, whoever Is madder than a lover? Besides, I had no choice of means. “No!” I replied. My uncle fell back two paces In terror—and again the enormous helmet wabbled on his shoulders. I “No,” I repeated firmly; “I’ll not helj you out unless you give me the hand of my cousin Rosel” From' the depths of pM strangely

"If you do not consent to do what I ask of you,” 1 added, “not only will 1 not help you off with your helmet, but 1 will call iu all your neighbors, and i hen go and find the municipal eouu ell!" "You’ll end your days on the scaffold!” cried my uncle. “The hand of Rose!” I repeated. “You told me that It would only be by force that you would be made to say ‘yes’— say It, or I will call In the neighbors.’ The clock was still striking; my unch raised his arms as If to curse me. “Decide at once,” I cried, “somebody is coming!” “Well, then—yes!” murmured my un clc. “But make haste!” “On your word of honor?” “On my word of honor.” The visor gave way. the gorge piece also, and my uncle’s head Issued from durance, red as a poppy. Just In time. The chemist at the corner, a colleague In the municipal council, entered the shop. “Are you coming?” he asked; “thej will be beginning the business without us.” “I’m coming,” replied my uncle. And, without looking at me, he took up his hat and cane and hurried out The next moment all my hopes had vanished. My uncle would surely not forgive me. At dinner time I took my place at table on his tight hand, In low spirits, ate little and said nothing. “It will come with the dessert,” I thought. Rose looked at me, and 1 avoided meeting her eyes. As I had expected, the dessert over, my uncle lit hts pipe, raised his head and then- — Rose went to him. "Do you know what that fellow there asked me to do yesterday?” I trembled like a leaf and Rose did tbe same. “To give him your hand,” he added. “Do you love him?” Rose cast down her eyes. “Very well,” continued my uncle, "on tills side the ease Is complete. Gome here, you.” I approached. “Here I am, uncle,” and, In a whisper, I added quickly, “Forgive me!” He burst into a hearty laugh. “Marry her, then, donkey—-since yon love her and I give her to you!” "Ah!—uncle!” "Ah!—dear papa!” And Rose and I threw ourselves Into his arms. "Yery good! very good!” he eried, wiping his eyes. "Be happy; that’s all I ask." And, in,turn, he whispered In my ear: “I should have given her to you, all the same, you big goose; but—keep the story of the helmet between us two!” I give my word that I have never told it but to Rose, my dear little wife. And if ever you pass along the Rue des Claquettes, 5, at the place of honor in the old shop, I'll show yon my uncle’s helmet, which we would never sell.— Strand >fvine.
