Having no relations with Parisian society, and seeing in the department of the Aube no other husband for Cecile than the youthful Marquis de Cinq-Cygne, he was asking himself whether by the power of gold he could surmount the animosities which the revolution of July had roused between the royalists who were faithful to their principles, and their conquerors.

At great expense the Taffy King had terraced the bluff and had made to grow several blades of grass where none at all had been able to gain root before. The girls saw the queer-looking Betty Gallup helping their brother out of the sloop. "Say! something's happened to Ford, I guess," Cecile cried, stopping the car short of the porte-cochere. "Run down and see," commanded Marian languidly.

If Lizzie comes and sits by the children, perhaps they will go to sleep. I can carry Sandy back later. Louie paused irresolutely. Then she went up to the bed, knelt down by it, and took Cecile in her arms. 'You can take him away, she said, pointing to Sandy. 'I will put her to sleep. Don't you send me anything to eat. I want a doctor.

The guard, too, had paid the fare; and Cecile was told that in about half an hour they would all find themselves in snug quarters. "Will they give us breakfast in 'snug quarters'?" asked Maurice, who always took things literally. "I wonder, Cecile, if 'snug quarters' will be nice?" Alas! poor little children.

All his small world did attend to Maurice at once, so Cecile ran to him, and after supplying him with milk and bread and butter, she took his hand to lead him to bed. There were only two years between the children, but Maurice seemed quite a baby, and Cecile a womanly creature.

Oh, you can say 'Cecile' and 'dear Cecile' instead of your everlasting 'Citoyenne'. "It seems I am doomed to be always misunderstood by you," he laughed, and at the sound she started as if he had struck her.

Ah! how truly had Boutan spoken in saying that people ought to wait to see the real results of those victorious operations which were sapping the vitality of France. Cecile, however, with eager affection, kissed the three children, who somehow continued to grow up in that wrecked household.

"All of which means," said Goulard, point-blank, "that you will never marry Cecile, my old fellow." "Why not?" said Giguet, ironically.
