ONE OCTOBER MORNING. A Story of Old Quebec. BY WM. H. S. ATKINSON. N the Province of Old Quebec, deep hiilden iu the re i esses of the moim iuins, lies tho prim little out-of-the world village of a u e s a i e with its tiny church, its weather worn and its short-petti- wooden el'UrlliMlS. coated housewives. At Jacques Cartiei I resided for many years, although it was n very poor place for a do. tor, and I grew to really love the sleepy old place, to gether 'with tlie simple, genial French people and lialf-breeds who lived there. Very little variation entered into the monotonous life of tho e quaint folks in the St. Emelio Valley, and yet 1 believe I was able, while among them, to study a good many phases of human nature and many of the strange workings of human passions. Detached from tne rest 01 the village, there used to be, and is now, for aught I know to the contrary, a long, low, vine- 1 covered house, not much larger than a cottago. An old-fashioned garden, full of the sweet flowers somewhat despised iby modern horticulturists, lies nil around ,it, divided from the orchard at the back by a straggling fence and a merry little stream of clear water. The whole place gives one impressions of sweetness and freshness, though hardly of trimness. V They would require, this garden and or chard, tho constant care of two strong men to render them as neat as the lawns and flower-bods of city lots, whereas the sole attention they rece ved, when I knew them, was the very unmethodical care of pretty Mario Gambier. Well, Marie had more important work to do than garden ing. She kept house for lier father, and for the girl that moaut cooking, cleaning, sewing, and sometimes oven milking. Old Paul Gambier was the last of a long line of descendants of an ancient Paul Gambier, who had settled in Canada with the first of the French colonists, and al though oulv imperfectly educated ho prided himself oa the fact that he wm a gentleman who had never been obliged to work. It did not occur to him that, be cause he choso to exist upon a iltry three or four hundred dollars a year, a frail and Blender wife had been hurried to her long rest nor did he pause to consider that his daughter Maiie, instead of being at the convent school aud enjoying herself as young girls should, was growing up to succeed her mother as a household drudge aud in total ignorance ol all the accom plishments usually so dear to young ladios, even iu the back townships of the Blow French province. Marie was very simple nnd very igno rant, but she possessed pleasant traits of character. All the dogs, cats, cows and horses in the village knew Marie Gambier, and in their several ways showed their ap preciation of her kindly notice of them. Besides, Marie was very pretty, and in the mountains lived a strapping young Frenchman who was as ignorant of litera ture and the fine arts as Maiie herself—a jnau who had never yet trodden a city pavement and who had never so much as beheld LI fashionable dame. But he loved Marie—nav, in his quiet, unassuming way ho worshiped the girl. So, as he was about us good-looking as any of the boys within a horseback ride of Jacques Car tier. aud as he drove a fairly goo 1 team and "owned land,'' Marie had promised to marry Jean Coutellier, while the bob-' capped gossips of-the St. Emelie Valley decided that it was a fitting match. Yes, Marie was very pretty—and so thought a stranger who approached Jacques Cartier from tha mountain-side one summer afternoon. The girl was standing under one of the ^14 gnarled aj)j?le-tree» in the orchard. I & Bach a lovely rounded form—«ven though it wan only covered by an oft-washed cot toii dress—with tho Miulight playing in gleams and flashes upon the bright brown hair and fair young face. As the stranger drow near he fully imbibed and thoroughly uppreciftted the benutipx of the picture, for he was somewhat of an artist and keenly alive to all things beautiful. But he was so much engioxscd iu the pleasant center-piece of the picture that he did not notice wheu a breeze from off the moun tain struck the valley and lifted Marie's lar^e, untrinmied straw hat from the ground, blowing it right under the nose of his horse nor was he prepared for the frightened plunge of the animal, who reared fo suddenly as to instantly throw his preoccupied rider. It was not much of a fall, but the strangor's leg was fractured, and Paul (iambic and his daughter car ried the young man into their house, whero I attended him in my professional capacity. The stranger's name was Walter Penrith, a New York man, who had been traveling through the woods and valleys of Quebec in search of health and pleasure. He was wealthy, and when he discovered that he could not be moved from his couch for many weeks, he ordered luxuries of all kinds from the great metropolis, until tho cottage home was piled to overflowing with rare books, wines, fruits, etc., while none but the finest cigai-s came for Mon sieur Gambier's especial nse. Before long costly presents began to ar rive for Marie, and—well, it was only an As for Peniith, he was a man of the world but he undoubtedly grew to care considerably more than ho should have cared for his pretty nurse. I say "more thin he should," because it was a fore gone conclusion with Walter Penrith that he would never marry any girl—no matter how good or how beautiful—who was not a lady by birth and education. Certainly, a French-Canadian peasant girl, who could speak neither his language nor her own correctly, could hardly hope to be come Mrs. Penrith. So he toyed and amused himself with Mario, while the girl threw her whole being into her love for him. How much he promised will never be known, but when the time came for Penrith to leave Jacques Curlier he cer tainly did piomise Marie to return soon. And all this time honest Jeau Cou tollier had never littered one word of com plaint of the gill's treatment of him. Each Sunday lie drove over to the old cottage just the same as ever, only his visits were short, and most of th-i time was spent iu discussing a pipe ar.d local allairs with Marie's pompous old father. Of course Jeau could see how Marie was entirely engrossed in tho handsome Marie Gamb'er soon learned to love lilm. stranger from the city, and although he said very little, he watched him very closely—so closely that wheu, two months nfter tho accident, the stranger took his departure, Jeau met him outside the vil lage. "You will come back, Monsieur?" "Yes," replied Penrith, very shortly and coolly—"that is, iu a few weoks." "Y011 will marry Marie?" At first Walter Penrith was disposed to resent what, although asked as a question, almost sounded like a command. But as lie raised his eyes to those of the stern looking Frenchman before him he was compelled to say: "Yes, I shall marry Marie." "You will pass me your honor, Mon sieur," persisted Coutellier. "My word is good, sir," replied Penrith, rather haughtily. Only your honor is good now, Monsieur, because it is Maiie," said Coutellier, with all the stubbornness of his nature. "See, Monsieur Penrith I, too, love rie, and she was my petite Ma affiance. You came hero, and of a purpose, yes, deliberately, I would say, stole from me her confidence, her trust, her love. For that I have noth ing to say. Y'ou may have Marie but re member.'Monsieur, I love her still, and she is Marie still. There must be noth ing wrong—no what you would call gossip or scandal. You pass your honor that you will return soon and wod Marie, and we part friends. Is not that fair and good, Monsieur?" "I give you my word of honor," said Penrith, but there was 110 genuine manly ring in his words. Still, Jean Coutellier, innocent of the world's worst forms of wickedness, took Penrith's proffered hand, and then rode away to his lonely home in the hills. Weeks passed and no Walter Penrith came to redeem his promise to a manly man, or to call back the roses to the fast paling cheeks of pretty Marie Gambier. Weeks stretched away into mouths, and one morning Marie was missing from Jacques Cartier. She had gone away in tha night, 110 oue knew whither. No tid ings came of Marie, and no city lover came to the shocked village, or wrote to shield the woman whom he had wronged so deeply that she had gone to seek him iu the far-away city. The snows of wiuter passed away, and. when the spring flowers were blooming in the old garden, a saddened girl returned to the cottage for the shelter and comfort refused her in the outside world. The old gossips talked loudly and often, and whispered many uukiud things, while none of the virtuous villagers went near the cottage any more. Soon old Paul Gambier, who h»d .lived through years of respectable poverty, di»d from sheer loneliness and a deep sense of shame for he had lived to seo disgrace overtake n name known in Jacques C'MV tier for more than one hundred years. Poor Marie was alone in the world notr. Alone? No, not quite. Thote was one wfco was pitiful—one who loved and pitied, without upbraiding or judging. Jenn (.'outlier knew of a man whom he had sworn to kill 011 sight, as he would ft fox or a skunk, but for Marie, his old love, he retained none but kindly feelings and loving memories. I do not know how he managed It, though yon may be sure it was with kind ly tact and gentle persuasion, but in the face of adverse opinion—public and pri vate—Jean married Marie (jambier and took her as his honored wife to his moun tain home. Marie was never her old self, but she settled quietly down with honest purpose and endeavor to be a good and faithful wife. And she succeeded—if not to her own satisfaction, at least to Jean's, who treated her with all the native chivalry of his noble nature. So two eventful years passed away. oft-told tale. Not onlv wero the presents brought to bear upon Marie, but Penrith impassable except for pereons on loot or himself, who was, without doubt, one of i horseback. Wagons and other \ehicles the most fascinating men I ever met, brought his powerful personal magnetism into plnv, and Marie (i ambicr soon learned to love him. Yes, it was no dream or fancy on the girl's part she loved Waller Pfenrith, and loved him truly. Indeed, she loved him so well, and for himself alone, that after she had known Penrith a month she would ive cared to.' the man just as much had he never given her another present—had he suddenly become poorer than simple Jem Coutellier,,. now thrust so far into the background of Ma rie's thoughts and affections. Jean Coutellier's unpretentious homo was twelve miles away from Jacques Car tier, away up in the bracing atmosphere of the foieit-c!ad hills, ltight in front of the house was a rocky mountain path, which at the distauce of a few hundred yards threaded the verge of a doep gorgd or defile. It was only a narrow path and had to be taken by a more circuitous route to roach the pike load in the valley be I neath. One gray morning in October, Marie— I Madame Coutelliernow—was pacings'ow lv up and down the porch in fiont of her husband's cottage. Everything looked melancholy enongh up there on the hills. Ominous clouds were sweeping down the mountains in sheets of mist aud vapor, and the red loaves hung damp and life less on the trees. Tha sunshine and the summer were gone from nature, as the sunshine and summer of her life had gone from Marie. She looked very sad and old for a giii of twenty-two for, although she tried sincerely to make her husband happy and to repay him as well as she could for his great love, she found it hard work. Down the nurow mountain path she could see Jean mending a fence which ran along the edge of the path where the gorge was particularly deep aud danger ous. He was whistling at his work, and was apparently happy and contented. Presently up the tiack came a horse man. At first only his head was visible to Marie, but, as strangers were rare in that remote neighborhood, sho watched him until he was in full view, by which time he wfiS quite clo e to her husband. Very keenly she eyed him, for his face seemed familiar. Could it be? Ah, yes there was only one man just like that in I all the world. Jeau recognized Walter Penrith, too, and with an oath called upon him to dis mount. Penrith refused, and upon Cou tellier catching his horse by the bridle, used his liding whip over the Canadian's shoulders, whereat Jean sprang at Pen rith and literally dragged him from hie horse. Few words were spoken, but many blows were exchanged, aud at last they clinched and struggled with arms olosely locked. Both men were in imminent dan ger of falling together into the rock-bound gorge, from tho edge of which their feet were less than twelve inches distant. Neither of them saw .Marie as she stole up, drawn by some irresistible impulse. But as, for an instant, they loosened their hold upon each other, she stepped behind them and deliberately used her strength, rendered extraordinary by excitement, to throw her husband over the precipice. It was no mistake or slip. It was broad day light, and the woman had been a specta tor of the struggle for several moments. She had perceived that for oue or both of the men certain death was close at hand. By interfering, she knew that Bhe could save one of them a terrible fate so she saved the man she loved, and that man was not her husband. As she had once given up father, home, honor, and peace of mind for the fellow Penrith, who had shown 110 appreciation of her sacri fice so for his sake she becamo a mur deress, while he, without a word, mounted his horse and rode quickly away. Next morning a woman, weary, footsore, heartbroken and almost dead, was found lying in the apple orchard, at the back of the old home iu Jacques Caitier. Some neighbors picked her up and carriod her into a cottage near by, whero I attended her aud tried to bring her back to life. But, old as I am at the profession of hea'iug, I have no cure for broken hearts, and in a week we buried poor Marie in a grass-covered grave under one of the large apple trees. Even in her last moments the dying girl's thoughts were all of Penrith, for it was from her own lips that I learned the story of Jean Coutellier's death—told solely with the object of shielding Penrith from suspicion and possible punishment. The strength of her love was Marie Gambier's greatest weakness. Marriage Is a Failure Sometimes. Brown—I met Mrs. Jenkins to-day. Poor tiling, she seems awfully un happy.

Thirty years »go a Christmas tree was seldom seen ex cept in some home of the richest class, and the adornment of churches for the festival season was confined to the Catho lic and Episcopal denominations. But the Immense increase of our German popula tion has popularized the Christmas tree throughout the length and breadth of the land, and with the waning of old Puritan ideas the decoration of the churches of all denominations has become customary. The extent to which materials for these liurposes are required is shown by the fact that a single dealer in New England last year disposed of 10,000 Curistmas trees, S.j.000 yards of wreathing, and 800 barrels of evergreen spray. The smallest trees that are sold bring, on the ground, ten cents apiece, while the largest—twenty-five to thirty feet in height—bring from $4 to #6. 1 The earth will pass this time through an attenuated part of the meteor ring and will not encounter its thickest part until lH'.t'J. While, therefore, no such star shower as was seen Nov. 13,18C6, can be now expected meteors enough may be ob served to show that we are in the orbit of the Leonids. If the weather is favorable a large numler of meteors may be counted radiating from the constellation Leo, which rises about 9 p. m. The best hours for seeing what is to be seen will be after midnight, when the moon sets.
