' The more so, as sister Egnie, of lhI
oble birth, had nover fi rgiven her for ar
hat mis-alli~nce.'
Anne moved at this time nacrss the a
room in which the family- of the de
ceased were asscnblcd. She was pale;
her eyes were filled with tears, an l her n
face was furrowed by ,care with pro- 1(
cocious wrinkles.
' What do you come hure for i' said tl
Madame de Villeboys, -with haughtil- ii
ness, who, a moment beffore, had been 'i"
interrogating the little man who inher

with humility, 'I do not come here to a
claim s part of what does not belongto 1
me; 1 came solely to see M. Dubois, I
my sister's solicitor, to inquire if she
spoke of me at he last hour.'
' What ! do you think people busy
t hmselves about you ?' arrogantly oh
served Madamo de Villeboys; 'the 1
.disgracA of a great house--you who I
wedded a man of nothing, a soldier of
Bonallarto ?'
' Madame, my husiand, aithogh a
child of the people, was a brave sol- I
.dier, and, what is better, an hronest
lalan,' observed Anne.
At this moment a venerable person
age, the notary D)ubois, made his alp
pearance. r
'C'ease,' le said, 'to repraeh Anne
with a union which her sister has for
given her. Anne loved a gernrous.

Mr. Dubois then proceeded to open

I compromise her in my will.

'Ah, ah '.' said Vatry, 'sister lgrie A
was a very good one- that is rather th

'Anne will, then only have the

The eyes of those who were present
were filled with tears, notwithstanding
their efforts to preseirve4Oippearance Ba
of indifference.
The child embraced the old book 1M
with boyish fervor, and opening it
afterward : M
' Oh,' mamma,' he 'exclaimed, 'what
pretty pictures !' Ta
' Indeed,' said the mother, happy in
the gladness of her boy.
'Yes. The good virgin, in a red
dress, holding the Holy Infant in her S,
arms. But why, mamma, has silk pa
per been put upon the pictures ?' Or
' So that they might not be injured,
my dear,' she replied. Rc
' But, mamma, why are there ten
papers to each engraving ?'
The mother looked, and, uttering
a sudden shriek, she fell into the arms
of M. Dubois, the notary, who ad
dressing those present, said :
' Leave her alone, it won't be much!
- people don't die of these shocks. As
for you, little one,' addressing Hector,
'give me that book; you w":;tear the
1 engravings.'
The inheritors withdrew; making
various conjectures as to the cause of
Anne's sudden illness and the interest
r the notary took in her. A nmnth after
ward they niet Anne and her son, ox
ceediugly well, but not extravagently
dressed, taking an airing in a baroucho T
This led them to make inquirieo and
they learned that Madame Anne had
recently purchased a hotel for one
e hundred and eight thousand francs. and
that she was giving a first rate educa- 8
s tiomn to her sonr. The news came like a
thunderbolt upon them. Madame y
ir Villeboys and M. Vatry hastened to
call upon the notary for explanations. I.
Mi. Dubois was working at his desk.
