"It Is a pretty song; you are a great

village he hummed continually a little
tune.
He was mid-way bstween Pontorson
and Dol whan suddenly a dog barked.
The dog yelped when Michel called, and
Michel put his fiddle to his shoulder
and began to play.' He had never play
ed this tune before; he played it as It
came to him. The dog was silent now.
When he finished the dog whined at
the closed gate, and Mlchsl heard the
scratching of his claws upon the wood.
He was ready now. and quite certain.
-Jean had come back then, near to the
former home. And Jean came down to
the gate and opened It.
"Get away with your fiddle,” he said,
gruffly. "We are poor folk here."
"I am rich, then—now!” answered
Michel, and sprang at his throat. It
was all so quick that there was hardly
a struggle; and then a pretty girl came
down the path and screamed. Long
hours of loneliness bad made her
strong and brave. Jean had not been
good to her, and she said, simply: "You
Iiavo killed my brother. If you do not
stop here, I shall send men after you."
■I cannot stay " ■
’ said MIcheL "1 must
go," and he was writing on a bit of
paper against the back of -his fiddle.
-Send after me If you like. Give me a
minute before you read," eaio he, and
the gate closed.
She stood there dased, as ytt hardly
understanding what had happened. It
must have been' ten minutes before her
fingers felt the place of paper, and she
hsld It close to her eyts and read. In
awkward writing: "I, too, am your
brother, little sister whom I loved."
She ran through the gate. "Mlchsl!"
she called. "Michel!”
But tka moonlight mocktd her.
Michel the Fiddler was striding on the
road to Dol, bound for the roads be
yond and away, and a whits dog swung

LOVE AND SHOES.
(Copyright, 1906, by tho Henrat News
Service.)
The elevator boy was asleep. Dick
Mostyn felt Inclined to wake him. but
on second thoughts considerately elect
ed to walk upstairs to hi* room. Ha
had forgotten which floor it was on, hut
he could Util by the numbers on tho
doors.
At the third landing he stopped
regain his breath.
•'Tired," he muttered, as he tilted his
opera hat to the back of his head.
"These hotels are like Jocob's Ladder
when it corns*.Io stair climbing."
He sat down on the stairs for a mo
ment: there was no senes In risking
an attack of Indigestion after a bache
lor's dinner party. He almost wished
he had roused that sleepy attendant.
Still, Dick felt good tempered; he
glanced down the corridor. How gro
tesque all the boots and shoes looked,
to be sure, ranged like sentries outside
the bedroom doors. Then he fell to
studying them; there were all shapes
and sixes.
Suddenly his eye was arrested by the
dantlest pair of shoes he had ever
seen. Dick advanced for a* closer in
spection. y
"A girl with a foot like that.” he
apostrophised, "must be
dream of a foot! I should
that girl. I’ve never seen anything
prettier than those tittle shoes!"
Dlek Jotted down the number of.the
room on his cuff, and then finished his
Journey upstairs, and dreaming of the
owner of the shoes, fell asleep.
Next day he made friends with more
waiters between breakfast and lunch
time then he has previously met In
of travel—until he had found the right
one. '
Then he learned who “she was.” At
three tables’ distance Dick Mostyn
capitulated to the charms of Miss Beryl
Ferney the same evening at dinner.
She was prettier even than he had Im
agined she would be-Jfrom her shoes.
In the smoking room later on Dick
contrived to give Ferney pars ths Im
pression—afterward communicated to
Ferney mere—that “be was a nice
young fellow with do "sld#' on
cerlty about them.
They were often together In the days
that fallowed umi each nljlil Dick
walked upstairs to his room after he
had finished his last cigar. Those
dainty shoes on the third floor lending
appealed to ids sense of the artistic.
Besides, he was very much In love.
"Door M nw, he said to Beryl,
one evening, "that very small things
frequently shape one’s destiny?”
"I suppose they do, sometimes,” she
replied..
"I’m sure of It,” said Dick emphat
ically, "for Instance. I fell In love
with you before I saw you and"—
“I didn't know"— she began, with a
pleased blush.
"No; I hadn't told you In so many
words, but you must have seen It all
along, darling," said Dirk, and there
was no one to see him when he klasod
her.
"ft’s ,ro romantic, darling," he said.
"But I did. Two dear little shoes out
side a certain door on the third land
Ing captivated me, and I fell In love
with the owner on the spot, for 1 knew
she must be an angel."
"I'm net an angel." said Beryl al
most tearfully, as a deep flush roughed
her cheeks.
"But 1 think you are, dearest,” said
Dick. And there's no doubt he did.
Next day Beryl was confined to her
room with a severe headache. Dick's
agitation was pitiable. Beryl was evlr
dently too ill ever, to scribble an an
swer to his endearing message*.
Then he heard she had been out. Dick
was at once a prey to all the anxieties
which beset a lover. She must b»
purposely avoiding him. But why?
Dick waited about for hours In like
ly placfs. Even the dainty shoes had
disappeared from the third floor land*
Ing.
At last, when reduced to the depthf
of a young man's despair, he found her
hiding In u corner of the drawing room.
A glance told hlnf she had been cry*!
ing.
"tVhat doss this mean?" he sskei
tenderly, and before she could run awki.
he hud firm hold of her little hands.
"Why have you been playing hide-and-
seek and making me miserable? ' *

a mother and a lorgnette hovering In
the vicinity.
When Dick had ewltched off the pat
ernal conversation, and Mrs. Ferney
had gone to finish a letter, he and Beryl
got on well enough. i
Before they parted he had learned
that rubles were her favorite stone, that
she thought tbs "Veronlque" waits the

she Intended "shopping tor mother" in

Dick also “shopped" In Bond street
