DEAR BLACK HEAD.

Dear black head, will you go with me Where the Tir na u'og shines mistily? Ciimbii:}? the mount&iiM or sailing the sea, Dear black head, will you ?,ro with me?

On fc.'iH uncharted though wc sot s:iil I will not tail you when nil things fail I'd drown liirhtiicartcd your love to be. Dear black head, will you go with me?

It w:us about ton years ago. in the month of December. The lay was cloudy and dull, and tlie wind was roaring anion:,' the oak trees. I was going to dine with Maitre le Bitouze, who in those days lived on the Hunt Putois farm on the farther side of the Nehon moorlands.

The dinner was to bo served at 6 o'clock. As I left the forest of BelleGarde and took the little cross path that led to Monroe Ilie ircl the church bells in the valley striking 4.

As I went along the idea came to me to get shaved. It was quite a natural idea, for my beard was hurting me—the cold wind seems to bite an unshaved skin. My beard v.-as eight days old. and there were to be other people at dinner. so I sin raid be move presentable if shaved.

At the entrance of the village on the right- hand side stood a picturesque littie inn. The wind was rattling the leaves of the 1 lolly trees that stood in front of I it. Inside I could hear the sound of loud voices. I went ill, and ordering a glass of wine asked the host if there was a barber in the village. "Parhleu oui cried an old peasant who was sitting with his feet- in the stove and lighting his pipe with a firebrand. "There is old Bridevent, who shaved tiie whole camp of Nehon during the war. If he is at bona—and he ought to be. for as I passed the church just now I saw his dog Ronflot running down the street—ho will do the trick for you

first rate, and very quickly too!" "And this Bridevent." said another peasant, who was stirr (55c his cup of coffee at the end of the table, "evidently means to live and die here. I thought lie went away to his vegetables and his I cabbages in the country when the camp left Monroe. He comes from the neighborhood of Piron. doesn't lie?'' "So he always says, yet he never goes much farther from his little shop than a rabbit does from its burrow. "And how does he live? A little poaching on the sly and oceasionallv dressing a beard are not enough to fill the pot. Yet lie does nothing else, so far as

I can see. "Bridevent is a sly one. Maifr? ic Hodey, and lias put aside a little money. He used to keep a cantine, and has done other tilings than shave chins.

Satisfied with what I had hoard. I asked the proprietor to show me Bridevent':- house and left the inn. I found it. as he had described, a low, picturesque cottage, standing alone far back from the road, with its broad, sloping roof giving to it a somewhat lugubrious appearance, not... lessened by its lonely situation.

When I was within a few feet of the porch., which was partly concealed by low bushes, the door suddenly opened and a figure appeared.

It was that of a small man. a A*ery small man. sonat. dark, thickset, with

arms and tremendously bowed logs. enormous head, which did not set straight on the massive shoulders, was cove.ed with unkempt- black hair. The neck was .-iiort and thick, and there was I scarcely any on-head to bo seen.

Add to tills feature that b^/l the appearaiic1 of having boon crusl a large mouth with thi'-k lips that urooped at one corner and tv.'o large gJe.imin black eyes, and you may have some id' of this singular individual. ight seeing this hideous to a and retrace my {might oil past the house, •lance at the person, show-

A tall kitchen clock, a mirror, a table, several chairs and a kneading trough composed the rest of the furniture in the room. Two or three dingy looking pictures hung on the sniolce stained walls.

From the rafters hung smoked hams, dried plants and sausages, long and black. In the corners stood fishing rods and fowling pieces, and two guns rested their long gleaming barrels against the, mantelshelf. "A little bit of fire is not bad in this weather, liein. Is it, monsieur? I'll see, to the stove while your water is boiling. It won't take long.

And as lie stooped to throw a bundle of fagots into the stove I was amazed at. the breadth of his shoulders and the enormous size of his hands. Without, doalrt, this strange fellow us possessed of tremendous strength. He rase from liis shxjping position and •went into a neighboring room, shutting tlie door carefully behind him. When he returned a few moments later, I heard a stealthy Efep goiug down the passage. "Warm yrrawolf, monricur." ho said

to me again, placing a little stone jar filled with water, preparatory to shav-

ing. "Don't fear to burn the wood. Wood is not expensive in the country. It only costs the trouble of gathering it.

Then lie opened a cabinet and took out a pair of razors, which he began to strop

This fellow Bridevent'»did not belong to this part of the country. No one seemed to know whore he came from. Beside his ostensible avocation of barber, which surely did not bring in enough to pay for the wood that burned in the great stove, no one knew of any other means of livelihood that he possessed

And his manner, too, had roused my suspicions. Why had he gone into the other room and closed the door so cautiously behind him? And those steps I had heard, what were they?

Some one had doubtless been in that room whom lie had thought it well to get out of the way. All manner of old tales of persons who had disappeared and left no trace behind, of mysterious assassinations at night in lonely houses, awoke to life in my mind until I began to feel that at any rate it was not pnt-

walked stropping his famous razors and every few minutes stopping to listen.

Every time he passed the half open door I saw him look nervously out over the lields to the right :aul left.

Presently his step became more hurried and feverish, and his face betrayed marked impatience. He appeared uneasy, undecided. Was lie hesitating? "I began to feel very uncomfortable indeed and cast frequent glances at the door.

The darkness was coming on rapidly, The room was only lit up by the flickering light of the burning Wood. Long ago the water in the stone jar had begun to boil. It had half boiled away and Wiis nearly empty.

Evidently the man was trying to gain time! Perhaps waiting till the shadows of f:ust approaching night would aid him in his ghastly scheme.

Suddenly he placed the razors upon the edge of the table, looked into the steaming little stone jar, and without a word passed hurriedly into the next room. When he returned, v. moment later, he found me standing up ready to bring the adventure to the point. "All things considered," I began, looking him straight ill the face, "I do not- care to get shaved tonight. It is get- I ting late, and I am expected to dinner, I will look in tomorrow morning. Here are aO centimes for the operation. I pay in advance!"'

But. without appearing to lieiu- me— I think he was a little deaf—he ran to the door again, and putting his head out listened intently for several seconds.

In tlie distance I could hear the barking a dog that was coining nearer and nearer, f-'r.ddenly a big dog sprang past

"Down, Ronflot, down!" lie cried angrily. Then a child came in out of breath. with her hair hying like leaves be (ore a storm. She held something in her hand wrapped in paper.

"(•jive it lu re, ouick!" cried Brides' ever

vent. "Monsieur has been waiti so long. I-Iet'o. give if to mo!" It was a piece of si tap!

I sat down again. All was in readiness. Bridevent. shaved me, and 1 must honestly say that' even if I was a good d"al fri.vhloned I have never been better shaved, in wv lift*.—From tlie French.

What Mo For.

It came to pass, then, when Macallister Mcllhenny preferred his simple request for her heart and hand, she respectfully but firmly declined, saying in that gui!el"ss. disingenuous, original way of hers that she would not be liis wife, but would be a sister to him—oh, so gladly!—extending her lily white hand with a string tied to it.

That was only hist night, and this night he had conn1 to gather up tlie rich and costly presents he had given her, and she was sitting in the drawing room with her mother, when there came a pull at the doorbell, like tlie sluggish pull of a mud turtle at a frisky fishline. "Who can that be?'' asked the maiden's mother as she waited for the butler to respond to it. "It is Macallister Mcllhenny, mamma," replied the girl. "What is lie coming here tonight for? I thought you gave him thebou—excuse me, I mean rejected him last night. "I did, mamma. "Then what is he coming here tonight for?" "I suppose, mamnuL," said the fair creature, gazing tenderly 011 a photograph of her fiance, "that he wishes me to hold ail inquest on him.

conscientiously. I "Famous razors these,monsieur. This one especially is an English razor, which, if properly ground, could cut your neck through without spilling a drop of blood!"

This pleasantry I had often heard before, but from the lips of this strange individual it took on a peculiar character. There was a sound in his voice that made me shudder.

As I sat. there poking tip the smoldering embers of the fire the conversation of the peasants in the little inn came forcibly back to me. And the more I thought of it- the less I felt reassured.

SOMETHING NEW.

An Originally Trimmed Frock of Cheviot For a Growing Girl. Frocks original in design and adapted for growing girls are hard to find even at this season of the year, when new gowns for children are so much in evidence. The frock shown in the illustra-

tion will interest all mothers who are planning their daughters' spring warclrobe. "It is a little gown of tail and brown I mottled cheviot, with the light- color predominating. The gored skirt is trimmed with bands of green velvet arranged in rows and caught to the material by gilt buckles. The round waist is tic-'ht-

dent to help the murderer to his task by fitiing, and buttons in the back. It is offering my throat unprotected to his trimmed like the skirt, with velvet razors. straps caught with gilt buckles.

From this moment I carefully watch- The collar consists of a band of velvet ed every movement of my man. He fastened with a buckle, and another velup and down the room, ever yet .--"trap joins the puff to the deep cuff the sleeve. The gown is suitable for

There is no more dignified ornament for the hair than a broad tortoise shell comb, either plain or handsomely carved. .Middle aged women who have preserved their hair look most stately in combs of this kind, and they nu ke an admirable support lor the smart little arrangements of lace, and ribbon termed "caps." Young girls look very quaint with their shining tresses dressed around tlie wide, demure Queen Anne comb that hoars little resemblance to the lowering irregularly shaped comb of tortoise shell or its imitation which for so long it has been the fashion to thrust, through the coils or braids of hair at any angle, however erratic. The new comb admits of no such frivolity. If stands erect and dignified, with no nsense about it. To the piquant iaoe if affords a pretty contrast by its rather austere appearance. To the grand dame if :rives an added look of dignity and importance.
