Gance made me afraid of her; for

1 must tell you that when she came
into the drawing-room that evening she
threw to every one, even to the most
humble person—myseif—a crumb of her
smile. 1 could not keep that my gaze I detected away

by instinct and without being aware
what 1 was doing, to conduct her back
to her seat, and to take my place be*
side her. Inhaling the perfume oi: her
robes, I closed my eyes, 8he asked me
if I was fond of music; h r voice made
me tremble from head to foot. I
opened my eyes and saw that she was
looking at me; that look made me lose
whatever brains l had.
“Yes. sir!” 1 replied in my confusion.
If the ground did not instantly open
and swaliow me up, it was only because
nature always remain deaf to the most
ardent prayers of men.
I passed nil that night in my room
atone, calling myself an idiot with and a
brute, and thumping my face my
lists. In the morning, after long reflec¬
tion. 1 still refused to be reconciled to
myself. 1 thought: “To wish to toll a
woman that she is beautiful, that she is
more than beautiful, that she knows
how to draw sighs and sobs an l verit¬
able tears from a piano, and yet after
all be unable to say more than ‘yes, sir.’

Alas! i could not even myself
altogether. I had to appear at table,
at school, in public.
Those two words—-Yes, sir—forever

articulated the
“Yes, sir." It was no remorse that tor
lured me;—remorse is nothing at all
compared with what 1 felt. I remained
in a black melaneholly for six whole
weeks.
Only this summer 1 again met
Madame Gance at a water-place. Half
a which century caused now weighs upon the beauty
mo my first blushes and
the most delicious -embarrassments of
my life. But that ruin beauty has
grace still. And I, myself gray-haired,
had long annulled the vows of my
* vouth.
Madame “Good-day, madame,” I said to
Gance.
And this time, alas! the emotion of
other years troubled not my gaze nor
my voice in the least.
Vhe recognized me without much dif¬
ficulty. t ur memories united us; and
we aided each other to while away the
commonplace hours of hotel life in fa
miliar chat. New ties soon formed of
their own accord between us—ties only
too strong— the fellow feelings of fa¬
tigues and tho pains of age. Every
morning we would t ilk, as we sat on
some green bench in the sun, about our
rheumatisms and our mournings for the
dead. It was an an inexhaustible topic.
In order to divert ourselves a little w*e
began to mix up the past with the pres¬
ent.
“How beautiful you used to be, ma¬
dame,” I said to her one day, “and how

How He Got Even With the Town.
Ulallowell (Me. ) Register.]
Edmund Dorr was an oddity who
lived in the suburbs of Hallo well half a
century ago. On the 14th day of Feb¬
ruary he .ogged into town on his horse
sled and was arrested for v olating a
city ordinance requiring all sleighs and
sleds to have bells attached. Dorr was
arraigned before a justice of the peace
and lined. He paid his fine, but swore
he would have revenge. And on every
Hth day of February for twelve years
Dorr.made an annual visit to Hallowed,
seated in an ancient cutter and driving
a ringboned mare, to whose harness
nearly 200 jangling bells of all sizes and
degrees of discord were fastened. There
were sleigh bell ', and cow bells, and
dinner bells, and all sorts of bells on
the rigging, and the old man made as
much of a commotion as if he had been
a full brass band. 1 e repeated this per¬
formance annually till ho died, and
took a grim satisfaction in thus squar¬
ing his account with the city that had
lined him.

A great many cattle in southern Kan

it, or rather affected by eating loco, a
species of plant dreadful very numerous there,
and whi li is a scourge on the
herds of c attle roaming over the ranges.
They never recover alter eating it, or
rather after they once commence to eat
loco they never cease until it kills them.
It affects them about the same as “fire¬

feel as the “whole prairie belonged to
