She used to tall me stories whilst
she darned the linen with her long
tient finger* which moved so quickly
while her eyes, which I
only saw ’krough her big
specter las. teamed to me to be mor
mon*, and they alway* looked so deep
and full of cipreaston. From what I
ran remember of the things she used
to tell me and which Interaated m# so
much at the time, she must hatrr been
• simple minded hind hearted woman.
She would tall ma ail the events of tbs
village; the story of a cow which got
out Its shed and which bad been found
the next morning standing In front of
Prosper Malefs windmill watching tha
salts go round. Then I remember a
story she told ms about a hen’s egg
which had ben found In the church I
steeple and no one had eyer dlaeovered |
what hen oould have got up there
Then there wa* the history of th#
faithful dog owned by Jean Pilaa.
Ills master'* tron*er* had been stolen
and the dog had traced the thief and
brought back th# trousers, which the
guilty man had hung on the handle of
his door to dry during the night, af
ter having been caught In a thunder-
storm.
She told me these absurd stories In
such an Impressive way that they fix
ed themselves on my memory like ver
itable A*-amas and mysterious poems.
The clever stories invented by celebra
ted authors, which my mother used to
tell mem In the evenings, did not seem
to me anything like so thrilling and
wonderful as those related by the peas
ant woman.
One Tuesday after spending all the
morning listening to Mere Clochette*
tales, I had been with one of the ser
vants to the woods near the Nolpre
farm We had been gathering nuts,
and I can remember everything as
clearly as though It had all happened
yesterday.
As soon as I reached home I ran up
stairs to the sewing room and to my
horror, on opening the door, I saw OTB
Mere Clochette lying full length on the
floor, her face downward, her arras
stretched out, holding her needle
clenched between the fingers of one
band and a little garment of mine In
the olher. I can remember now no
ticing her blue stockings and her spec
tacles, which had rolled against the
wall as she fell. I rushed down
stairs shrieking as I went and mother
and the servants were soon with the
poor friends. Presently I heard them
saying that she was dead and I shall
never forget the terrible heartrending
grief I felt, child though T was. I ran
away quietly into the v.ig drawing
room. and hiding In a dark corner T
knelt, down by a low armchair, and,
burying my head in a cushion, cried
bitterly, until I was tired out with
emotion, t must hpve been there for
a long time; it began' to get quite
dark.
Presently the door opened and some

swered the old man
"Whereupon he went out again,
locked the door from the outside and
descended the staircase In search of a
candle.
"The young man, who wa* a verita
ble coward, was perfectly furious now.
and too excited to know what he was
saying or doing.
"Hide yourself. I tell you,* he said
to the poor girl, ‘I shall lose my sit
uation *aod all through you. My life
will be ruined by yon; bide yourself,
can't you?’
"Just at that moment they heard the
key being put Into the lock again.
Hortense ran to the little window
which looked out upon the street. She
opened :t quickly and then In a low,
resolute voice she said: 'When he goes
away you will come around and pick
me up, won't you?' Without waiting
for reply she sprang from the window
Per# Qrabu was very much surprised
to find that Hlgisbert was alone and
he soon went downstair* again. A
quarter of an hour later the young
man came and told me the whole sto
ry
"The poor girl was lying by the wall
and could not. stir. She had fallen
from the second story. It was raid
ing In torrents. I went with M. Slk
isbert and we brought Hortense to tny
house. Her leg was broken In ttsrpe
places and the bone had come through
the skin. She made no complaint,
but just murmured In a resigned (one.
‘lt was my own fault, it is my just
punishment.'
« isent for a woman to come and
nurse her and then sent for her par
ents, to whom I made up a story about
a horse that had taken fright and a
carriage running over the poor girl
near the door. Everybody believed my
story and the police were engaged for
a month trying to-find out the ownen
of the runaway horse. That is tht!'
story, then,” said the old doctor, "and
I maintain that woman was a heroine.
She never had another love affair —but,
died an old maid. I mean 1o say that
woman was huhllme. She was just a
martyr, and it is because of my great
admiration for her that I have told
you her Btory now. During her lifetime
I never would breathe it to anyone.”
The old doctor said no more. - Mv
mother was crying and my father said
something which I did not catch.
Presently they all went out of the
room again and I stayed there kneel
