WOODRUFF'S IMPROVED

CHAPTER XL WHAT THE AUTHOR SATS.

B r i g is a good dog, bat Holdfast is a better. Mr. LeMesurier, however, •hews himself inetpible ef being the latter; incapable of keeping to the wise and rational resolution expressed at the close of the last chapter. On the morning of the day following that on which Frederick preferred his re­quest, Paul might have been seen, walk­ing slowly and with a bang-dog air, in the direction of the Pension Leroux.— He is smoking like a chimney; his e;es are fixed on the ground, and his hands are buried deeper than ever in the pockets of his old gray shooting jacket.

"I would give any one twenty pounds to stand in my shoes for the next half hour," he says to himself, as he drags hie feet one after the other through tho calf-market, between the miserable calves, flung down roughly, with legs tied together, and heads mov­ing wistfully from side to side, to lie for hours together, baking, helpless, and unpitied, in the mid-day sun.— Paul need not have gono near the calf-market at al l ; it is quite out of bis way; but then it takes a little longer. He stands for a quarter of an hour staring in at the clever little terra-cotta models of men and beasts, in M. Noel le Quilleo's small shop window, close to the Porte St. Louis ; but, however, in­genious two clay pigs, sot up on their hind legs and walking arm in arm, or a donkey playing the concertina, may be, it is imposaibte to stare at them forever.

"Please God, she is out!" hq says, piously, turning with a sigh through the shady porte.

But she is not out.' As he comes in sight of tho salon-window he sees two arms resting on the s i l l ; a woman in a bright-blue gown, and with bright-brown hair, leaning out. I t is net Jemima. Jemima is not addicted to gay colors, save in the matter of that Connemara cloak that Providence has sent sailing down the Ranee to St. Malo. Tho cherry market i s held in the place St. Louis. Groups of snowy-headed wo­men, with great-eared caps, are trudg­ing about the little square, with huge baskets of piled-up cherries, shaded by great cotton umbrellas; little luscious black cherries, juioy red ones, pale, fleshy white-hearts. Lenore is in treaty for some of the latter.

"Tencz I" sho c m s , sending her dear English voice, fresh as the voice of a waterfall or of a blackbird on a green April evening, down through the sing­song French screams below, and point­ing with ber forefinger to a tempting heap. "Combein ?"

"Quat' some la livre," replies a weath-. er-beaten little housewife, briskly.

woman has bigger cherries than those under her notice, and, so wandering, they fall upon Paul's upturned face.— Instantly she forgets that such fruit as cherries exists.

"Anybody at home?" asks Paul, shading his face with his hand, and smiling up.

•'It depends upon who 'anybody' is," she answers, gravely. "If anybody means Madame Lange, she is out ; if anybody means Jemima, she is out; if

anybody means me, I am not out."

"I may come up, then 7"

"If you are sure that you can find your way," retorts she, laughing.

H e turns, and enters the house. Old Mdle. Leroux puts her head out from the door of the dining room, where she is sitting, mending table-linen, waggles her gray curls and yellow ribbons, and cries, "Bonjour, monsieur !" cheerily.

"Oh, for a brandv-and-soda*!" eighs Paul to himself, as he reaches the land­ing.

Screwing up his faBt-ooziDg courage, he marches in. Lenore ha j turned away from the window to greet him j sho looks as if she were a piece of the summer sky, all blue and smiling.

"You must not stay long," she says, stretching out a ready band to h i m ; "it is Wednesday, and on Wednesday we are obliged to evacuate this salon, because it is Madame Lange's day for receiving. Fancy receiving here !" (looking round contemptuously)*

with a bit cf blue ribbon, round the neck.

" Faites mendiant, Monsieur Charles!' cries the young girl, flinging herself on her knees on the floor before hias. "Up 1 up 1 Unfortunately, he does not under­stand English."

"Does not he V "He has been going through a regu­

lar course of exercises," says Lenore, gravely. "Just before you came in I put one of M. Caesar's bats on bis head and a pair of old Mdlle. Leroux's spec­tacles on his nose, and you can have no conception how like Frederick he looked."

A s she kneels there, with all her blue draperies spread about the floor, and the dimples appearing and disap­pearing in her cheeks, a spasm of un­willing admiration contracts his heart.

"Frederick is going," he says, brus­quely, turning his head away, and look­ing out of the window—"going home, to England, to-morrow."

"Is be ?" says the girl, carelessly.— "Why does not ho come and say good­bye to us, then ? or arc his feelings too many lor him V

"He is talking of coming this after­noon."

"I hope he will not ery, or have a great aocess to emotion; he generally has at this sort of a crisis; It always makes me laugh—don't you know ?— and that looks so unfeeling ?" she says, glancing appealingly up at him.

"You are unfeeling!" he blurts out, unjustifiably, with a mistaken feeling of loyalty toward his friend.

She looks at him quickly, to seo whether he is jokcing, but perceiving that he is serious, says, quietly and without anger :

"Am 1 1 What make.? you think so ?" "t gather it from your own words." "About Frederick'{" she asks, com­

posedly. "Poor little gentleman ! W e shall miss him very much—getting tickets and claiming luggago j but you would hardly expect mc to go into hys­terics over him—would you 1"

He is silent, meditating on tho utter bootlessness cf his errand.

"Would you V she repeats, pertina­ciously.

She has sunk down in a silting atti­tude on the floor j her idlo hands lie, white as milk, in her lap. Monsieur Charles has availed himself of tho di­version effected in his favor to abandon his upright position, hobble off on three legs to a corner under the piano, where he spends himself in vain efforts te bite off his blue ribbon.

"It would be much better for you if you had some one to go into hysterics about," says'Paul, drawing a small cane ohair near Lenore, and resolving to at* tack the fortress indirectly.

She blushes vividly. Some girls blush at a nothing, other gills blu'sh at nothing.

"Would it ?" she says. "You will not be angry with me tor

speaking plainly to you 1 W e have seen a good deal of each other, considering how short a time it is since we first met —have not we 1" says he, with a be ncvoleot sense of fatherly enjoyment in lecturing this fair delinquent, this embodied storm, whom only he can calm; "but you aro one of those wo* men who would be much better and happier married than single."

"Am I ?" (in s very low voice). "You ought to maiy either a tyrant

or a slave," continues he, surprised at his own eloquence; "either a fellow who would knock under completely to you, or a fellow who would make you knock uoder completely."

"And which would you recommend, may 1 ask I" she says, lifting her eyes archly, yet with difficulty, to his face.

"In your case, I think, the slave." She looks slightly disappointed, but

makes no rejoinder. "1 do you the justice to think " pur­

sues Paul, warmed by the fire of his own rhetoric, ' that a man's holes would not influence you much—that he would not be damned in your eyes, even if he had the misfortune not to be good-look­ing."

She looks at him again, bravely and firmly this time.

"You are r ight; I hate your beauty-men ; they trespass on our preserves" (laughing).

"If a fellow bad been fond of you, ever sincu he had known you, then," continues Paul, drawing bis chair three inches nearer, and half wishing,that he were not a proxy, "if he had never cared two straws for any other woman —if he were a real good follow at bot­tom, even though ho might not have much to recommend bim in the eyes of tho world, you would not send him away quite without hope, even though you do turn him into ridicule now and then."

"Into ridicule ?" she says, stammer­ing. "What do you mean V

"Well, we will not say any thing about that:—but, you would not send him away quite without hope, would you?"

Her lips tremble and form some word, but it is inaudible.

"You will at least listen to him when he comes this afternoon ?" says Le Mesurier, with a sigh at his own mag­nanimity.

"Listen to him ? To whom ?" she asks, lifting her head in bewilderment, while the color dies out of her cheeks.

"Whom ? Why, of whom have we been talking all along ? Frederick, of course," replies Paul, a little blankly.

There is a painful pause; the girl's face has grown ghastly, and hei eyes are dilated in a horrible surprise.

"I am to understand, then," she says, in a husky, choked, voice, "that you are his messenger—that you have been good enough to take the trouble of making love to me off his hands ?"

They have both risen, and are con­fronting one another. I t would be hard to say which of the two, considering their different complexions, was the paler.

"Tell bim," she says, making a strong effort over herself, and speaking eaoh alow syllable with painful distinctness, "to do his own errands next time."

As she speaks, she points to tho door. Half of Paul's vision is fulfilled. She has not boxed his ears—he wishes to Heaven that she would—but she has turned him out of the house. He is down-stairs and in the little hall before he perceives that he has left his hat be­hind him. He runs up stairs, three steps at a time, in his hurry to feteh it and be out of the house Ha enters the salon hurriedly, and is half-way toward the table, when he stops short with an expression of shocked astonish­ment ; for, on the little stiff sofa, Lenore is lying, long and limp, her face hidden in her hands, her body, and all her smart blue gown, shaken with great, vio­lent sobs.

'Oood God I what is the matter?" ha cries, hastily; "what has happened ? are you ill ?"

Hearing his voice, she starts, and buries her face deeper than ever in the little hard bolster, as if trying to hide it lorevor from the light.

"Lenore ! Lenore !" cries the young man, in high excitement, flinging him-

" 'Anywhere, anywhere out of the world ! '" answers the young girl, fall­ing back wearily on the bed, and di­shevelling the cool trim pillow on which her sister's chaste head is to re­pose. "To Guingamp, to see the par­don."

"And what is a pardon pray ? for I have not the remotest idea,", answers the elder, coming toward the bed, hav­ing finished her night-toilet, in the severe simplicity of which she looks at least twenty years older than in her day ono.

"If you had Dad novels less, and your Murray more, you would not have needed to ask that question," replies Lenore, rolling her head about. "A pardon is a sort of religious fete ; very dull,-1 do not doubt, but"—-with a tired sigh—"it all comes in the day's work; let us go 1"

self on his knees beside ber, entirely forgettiog his proxy charaotcr, and speaking now altogether on his own ac­count. "What have I dooe ? Tell me 1 Have I said any thing to vex you ? If I thought I had, 1 would cut out my own tongue,"

She does not stir; but through her fingers he sees the hot tears trickling, and, stooping over her, heirs her mur­mur, almoBtajunintelligibly, iu a voice of choked rago and shame :

"Leave me alone! Way have you come back ? Go away !''

"I will never go, until you tell me what I have done 1" cries Paul, quite forgetting himself, and, so saying, with his two hands, by main force draws hers away from her face. "Tell me— Lenore ! Tell me—darling !"

Her lovely eyes are drowned in tears; her cheeks are ciimsoned with shame­ful weeping—weeping for him—as, with a throb of irrepressible, passionate exultation, he feels. Whether divin­ing the exultation or not, she wrenches herself away from him.

"What do you mean ?" she cries, flashing at him through her tears. "I told you to go I I hate y o u ! Go ! I"

So he goes.

Evening again, and bedtime. Tbe market-women have sold ail their wares, and gone home again. The old priest in the white house has just opened his door, and let out two dogs, in a whirl­wind of excitement; but for them, the place is empty and silent. The two Misses Herriok are in the elder one's bedroom. Lenore is sitting on the edge of the low bed; her cheeks are as Hhito as privet-flowers, and there are red rims round her eyes. Jemima is devoured with curiosity as to the cause of these phenomena: but she does not ask.

"Jemima," says her sitter, ly, "let us leave this place! move on somewhere else!"

"Leave Dinan! leave Mr. Le Mesur­ier!" cries Jemima, archly, raising her eyebrows as she stands before the glass screwing up her pale, thin hair into a little lump at the top of her head, and drawing a white crocet-net over it , in preparation for her virgin Blumbers.

"1 am sick of Dinan and Mr. .Le Mesurier," rejoins Lenore, petulantly-

"Sick of Dinan! sick of Mr. Le Mesurier!" exclaims the other, now thoroughly astonished, turning round with her mouth open. "Since whea?"

"Since five-and-twenty minutes past eleven this morning, if you wish to be exact," replies Lenore, with candid bit­terness. "There, do not tease, but let us g o ! "

"Go w e

WHAT JEMIMA SATS. We are at Guingamp. We have

been here two hours. Two hours ago we arrived hot and angry; hustled by thronging groups of peasants, that are pressing into the little town to receive the annual pardon of their sins, and open a fresh account with God. The Hotel de France brims oyer with guests ; insomuch that we have been relegated to a stuffy little chamber au quatrleme into which the afternoon sun beats full; hotter then ten thousand Christmas fires. Just now we asked for hot water, to wash our dirty faces; and a woman in a huge starched white col­lar, and clear cap, brought in some in a tiny teapot. This has put the culma-nating point to our despair. I t is one of those days when one's very soul is hot, and longs to throw off the heavy cloak of the body; a day when one would fain take off one's flesh, and sit in one's bones, according to Sydney Smyth's time-honored waggery. It is not windless; on the contrary, there is a very perceptible air ; but it is such air as meets you at the mouth of a fur­nace. Lenore has abandoned the strug­gle with circumstances. She has ao knowledged herself beaten, and lies all along, in extremest dishabille, on the narrow bit of parquet between the two beds, where the hard oak communi­cates a little coolness to the back. Her head rests on a pillow that she has pulled down ; a white dressing gown is loosely wrapped about her. and her small bare feet wander about impatient­ly in tho vain search for a cool spot on the hot boards. Now and again, odd, sluggish, beetleish animals, with slate-colored bodies, crawl over her out-flung arms. She has just enough energy left to shake them off, and call piteously to me to come and kill them with my shoe-heel. Our two windows and our door are open; wo are trying to believe that we are in a draught. A regi­ment is passing through Guingamp; tho officers are billeted on our hotel. Every now and then one hears the clink of a sabre, and the sound of heavy feet coming down our corridor.

"Heavens, Jemima ! shut tho door !" ories my sister, unwilling to be exposed in her present sketchy toilet to the gaze of the French army. I spring forward and close i t ; and as soon as 'the large-busted, Bmall-waisted hero, in his hot red trousers and tight epauletted frock-coat, has passed, fling it wide again. I have been unpacking, my head buried in my small canvas-covered box; it is more than woman born of woman can bear. I rise and lean out of tho window. Out­side a lugubrious horn is playing "Part-ant pour la Syrie," very slowly; the omnibus is just driving into the court­yard.

"Poor omnibus! poor horses!" cry I, compassionately, "how many times have they been down to the station to-day ? What a heap of luggage!"

"Jemima, my head is not high enough y e t ; give me your pillow too I" calls out Lenore, lamentably, from the floor. I comply, and then return to the window, and look again at the omnibus, whioh is just beginning te empty its load.

"Good Heavens 1" ejaculate I , with animation. "Why, Lenore, there is Mr. Le Mesurier getting out! He has a puggry round his hat ; how odd he looks!"

Lenore is disposing two pillows and a bolster to her mind; she gives a great start, but her head is turned from me.

"I wish he would get a new port­manteau," pursue I , soliloquizing, "the P. Le M. on his is getting nearly ef­faced with age."

The omnibus still disgorges: an old priest in a broad felt hat, and limp sash

"They are parleying with the hind-lady," say I , leaning out. "No doubt she is civikr to them than she was to u s ; I suppose two maidle-s, oouric;r-le*s> h-j»bao<Jies* wora.n musf re-i^n them­selves to being snubbed! Ah , pool dear Frederick 1 How one does xSkW h i m l '

"Under which head did he ooBTtTf* asks Lenore, dryly; "maid, courier, 0 husband ?"

The luggage is carried into i h e h e t s s ; the pageant fades. I return to wj packing, and ten miaute3 pais.

"Lenore, dear, you had better be beginning to drtss," I say, hortatively; "the clock struck the quarter five mis-utes ago."

" l a m not thinking of dretsing,' ,

replies Lenore, looking enormously long, as she lies stretched straight dot.

"You are-going down to dinner as you are, in fact—bare legs and a dres-siog-gown ?" say I, humorously.

"I am not going down to dinner at all," replies she, clasping her hands underneath he head.

"Nat going down to dinner! What do you mean 1" exclaiu I , in high as­tonishment,

"Jemima, do French people ever open their windows ? Do not they hate fresh air ? Would it be possible to eat steaming ragouts in a close room with fifty commercial travelers to-day of all days?"

"Before the omnibus came from the station, you thought it quite possible," reply I , dryly.

Silence.

"Come, now, did not you ?" "Well, yes" (looking rather sheep­

ish).

"It is on account of Mr. Le Mesurier that you are going to forego your din­ner?"

"Well, yes" (much more sheepish). "Lenore! Lenore! what has he

done ?" cry I, kneeling down beside her, in a frenzy of curiosity; "tell me."

"Ele has done nothing," turning her face away, and plucking at the pillow with her fingers.

"What has he said 7" "He has said nothing*" "Did he tell you that y o t were aj f

good form, according to bis pet etpree-sion V (laughing).

•'No."

"Did he make love to y e t P "JVo / NO ! NO !" I can only see her ear, whiea %af

grown suddenly scarlet.

"Jemima," says Lenore, sitting fjf on tbe floor facing mo, and loaklaf very serious, "it I live to bo a hws> dred and fifty, I will neper tell y e t . *

"Ishall have to ask him , then; M will tell me quickly enough," answer ly nettled, and rising to my feet again.

"Perhaps; very likely," rejoins Sna, curtly.

"But you will come down to dlnaet, like a ^ood child," say I, coaxingly, i s I wrestle with a white mnslin Garibal­di, which has shrunk in the washinf, and is to small to contain my charms."

"I will not."

"But you have had no luncheon V "No." "Nor afternoon tea V "No." "You would prohably be at a dis­

tance of half a mile from him," says I ,

brusque-Let us

round his huge waist, with a yellow face and black teeth, yawning prodigi­ously. A peasant-woman with a queer baby in a tight calico skull-cap; then another gentleman in a puggry.

"The plot thiokens," cry I , with a sprightly air. "Lenore, I think the friend has turned up at last, I began to fanoy that he was a sort of Mrs. Har­ris ; but seeiog is believing, and here he is 1"

Silence. "How good-looking 1" say I , under

my breath, as the second gentleman joins the first, and indicates his worldly goods to the garoon. I hear a scram­bling noise behind me. Lenore is at my s ide; ber face is white, and she peeps obliquely behind the curtain, as the hot breeze blows back her loose bright hair.

"How ugly your friend Paul looks beside him!" say I , spitefully.

"When does not he look ugly?" re­joins my junior, with bitterness.

encouraging; "the table is as long as from here to England ; I saw it." " "Jemima," replies Lenove, gravely,

looking at me with her largo, solomn eyes, "I might Bit exactly opposite to him, and, that would kill mo on tbe spot.,'

I ehruk my shoulders. "He is ugly enough, certain," I say,

severely; "but he is hardly such a Medusa's head that it is deith to look at him.

But Lenore is obdurate. "I had tather die than go dowa,"

she says, with the tragic exaggeration of youth, shaking her head, and all the shining tangles of hair that ripple about her throat.

The bell rings, tingling and jangling through the open doors and narrow passages. I am obliged to go down alone, in my shrunk muslin Garibaldi and shabby old black-silk skirt, into a crowd of bearded English and shorn French who are gathered to raven like wolves in the sallg a manger. I leave Lenore lying prone on the parquet, hungry and gnawing, and slaying an occasional beetle with her slipper. A t dinner 1 sit between the landlord and a close-shaved little Breton, with ft vast and greasy appetite.

In silence and loneliness I Atqa. like my neighbors. Mr. Le Mesvisw fulfils my prophecy; he is half a m\% off. Now and again I have a vision erf his leonine beard between the thirteen or fourteen intervening guests, and a f a handsome blond head beyond him. On remounting to our garret I fine! that Lenore has resumed her clothes} and is setting on the window-sill, pelt*, ing a stray dog in the court yard w i t i cherry-stones. His eyes turned wifl a sort of anxiety to turn as I enter.

"Well, well," says I , spitefully^ "there was an excellent dinner; I hat* brought you a *menu,' to show y ^ i what you have lost:

"Pooh !' interupts my sister, imps* tiently, "What do I care? Well, did you—did you see him ?"

"I caught a glimpse now and theft of his chesnut curies," reply I , bantoi-ingly; "only a glimpse'though, as he was at least a killometre off."

"Did ho see you ?"

"Probably not; the dear fellow did

not seem to have eyes for any thing

but his dinner."

"He did not miss me, then ?" with

an accent of chagrin. -

"If he did, he disguised it admira­
