"Say, ya big stiff, cut out that rough stuff, see?" cried little Freddy in the only language of chivalry that he knew. Howard whirled upon him furiously, calling him a name that Freddy did not understand, but Florette flung herself between them and caught the blow. "He certainly looks as if he had fallen asleep," Miss Nellie Blair repeated. "Better run out and get him, Mary.

Brannigan said as if he were apologizing for her. He sat down and continued to mop his brow mechanically. The two sisters stared in dismay at the clown who had brought bad news. "W'at I don' know is how to tell the kid," said Bert. "He was nutty about Florette; didn't give a darn for no one else. I bin on the bill with them two lots of times, an' I seen how it was.

This displeased him, and he made her feel it bitterly, for he was steadfast in everything, even anger, and when he bore ill-will it was not for hours, but months, nor at such times could he be conciliated by coaxing or tears. By degrees Florette learned to meet his discontent with a shrug of her shoulders, and to arrange her life in her own way.

"But why didn't Miss Le Fay write to us?" asked Miss Nellie. "If she was in difficulties we " "Naw, Florette wasn' that kind; nev' put up any hard-luck story y' un'erstan'. But she'd bin outa work, sick. An' w'en she come back it looked like her ac' was a frost. I run up on her in K.C., an' " "What is K.C.?" "Why, Kansas City! We was on the bill there two weeks ago.

She had looked exactly like it when a young girl, she said; it was strange how precisely he had hit the color of her hair; but she was afraid it was blaspheming to paint a Madonna with her face; she was a poor sinner, nothing more. Florette was glad that the work was finished, for restlessness again began to torture her, and the mornings had been so lonely.

That very evening Florette became his betrothed bride, and the following Tuesday his wife. The wedding was celebrated in the midst of the turmoil of the fair. Strolling players, jugglers and buffoons were the witnesses, and there was no lack of music and tinsel.

But the only hardship he really minded was the loss of Florette, for of course the pretty Miss Le Fay, who was only nineteen on the agents' books, could not appear on Broadway with a great big boy like Freddy. However, the bad times always ended, and Florette and Freddy would set out gayly once more for Oshkosh or Atlanta, Dallas or Des Moines.

Ulrich now saw the fulfilment of Don Juan's words, that power was an arable field; for there were many full ears in Aalst for them both to harvest. Florette still nursed, with maternal care, the soldier's orphan which she had taken to her son's house; the child, born on a bed of straw was now clothed in dainty linen, laces and other beautiful finery.

The mother fled from the child, but she cannot abandon her new-found son. Oh, maternal love, thou dost hover in radiant bliss far above the clouds, and amid choirs of angels! Oh, maternal heart, thou dost bleed pierced with swords, more full of sorrows than any other! Poor, poor Florette!

"He told me all about how your father fought in the Franco-Prussian War," Tom went on, "and he gave me this button and he said it was made from a cannon they used and " "Ah, yess, I know!" Florette exclaimed delightedly. "He said if I should ever happen to be in Alsace all I'd have to do would be to show it to any French people and they'd help me.
