The blind man was conscious that some one was there, hut did not speak. "It Is a pretty song; you are a great player," said Father Dldler at last. -It is the song of the road,” said the fiddler. • . “I have dwelt in Paris fifteen years." said Father Dldler; "In Caen six.

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.

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?
