tinuously. the theater and shops were
elosed, flags were hung at half mast
and the street lamps lighted and draped
with crape. The whole of the inhabi-
tants, however, treated the occassion
er and better for their presence and the
few old-fashioned houses that knew
them treasured them, and French Mary
reigned over her kingdom with no revolt
or disaffection to the summer's end.
She seemed to fulfill all the duties of
her childish life by some exquisite in-
stinct and infallible sense of fitness and
propriety.
One September morning, after the
' first frost, the captain and his friends
were sitting in the store with the door
shut. The captain was the last corner.
"I've got bad news,” he said, and they
all turned toward him, apprehensive
and forewarned.
"Alexis says he's going right away.”

having a piece of news to tell). "Yes.

was a quiet place, where the population
dwindled steadily, though such citizens
as remained had more and more reason
to think it as pleasant as any country
town in the world.
Some of the old men who met every
day to talk over the town affairs were
much interested in the newcomers.
They approved the course of the strong-
looking young Canadian laborer, who
had been quick to seize upon his oppor-
tunity: one or two of them had already
engaged him to make their gardens and
to do odd jobs, and were pleased with
his willingness and quickness. He had
come afoot one day from a neighboring
town, where he and his wife had been
made ill by bad drainage and factory

asked the postmaster if there were any

promptness had given time for but few
persons to hear the news of a new
neighbor, and as one after another came
over the bridge and along the road
there were many questions asked. The
house seemed to have new life looking
out of its small-paned windows; there
were clean white curtains, and china
dogs on the chimney sills, and a blue
smoke in the chimney—the spring sun
was shining in at the wide open door.

them form again into the close group
that was usually broken up at the ap-
proach of summer weather. Old Cap-
tain Weathers was talking about Alexis,
the newcomer (they did not try to pro-
nounce his last name), and was saying
for the third or fourth time that the
more work you set for the Frenchman
the better pleased he seemed to be.
"Helped 'em to lay a carpet yesterday
at our house, neat as wax,” said the
captain, with approval. "Made the gar-
den in the front yard so it hasn't looked
so well for years. We're all going to
find him very handy; he'll have plenty
to do among us all summer. Seems to
know what you want the minute you
p int, for he can't make out very well
with his English. I used to be able to
talk considerable French in my early
days when I sailed from southern ports
to Havre and Bordeaux, but I don't
seem to recall it now very well. He'd
have made a smart sailor, Alexis would;
quick ar.' willing.”
"They say Canada French ain't spoke
the same anyway," began the captain's
devoted friend, Ezra Spooner, by way of
assurance, when the store door opened
and a bright little figure stood looking
in. All the gray-headed men turned
that way, and every one of them smiled.
"Come right in. dear," said the kind-
hearted old captain.

A noted American singer is fond of
telling of a little experience she had in
Boston once upon a time. She was to
sing at an evening concert, and a car-
riage was to be sent for her. She was
staying at the time with a friend, who
had a suite of rooms in a large apart-
ment house, in which the tube system
of communication with the outer
world prevailed. It was past the time
when the carriage should have ap-
peared, and the lady was growing a
