. fl Riser's Daughter Cy HON RE CHAPTER VUI. fContinued.l Eujfeuie said o.nt;iu. and raised her eye to heaves. Hrr nenen.us instinct, so long repressed am dormant bad been suddenly awakened, and every kindly thought had been harshly checked a it had arisen. Outwardly tbia evening paawsj just aa thousand of other had passed in tbeir monotonous lives, but tor u" l" me most pamrui that they had ever suent. Eueenie ed without raising her head; she took Bonotiec of the work box which Charles tad looked at so acorn filly I yesterday evening. Mm. Grandet knitted away at her cuffs. Grandet aat twirling his thumbs, absorbed in schemes which ehonld one day bring about results that Would startle Saumur. Nanon was spin ting; the whirr of her wheel was the only sound in the great room beneath the fray-painted rafters. "Our tongues don't go very fast, aba Mid, showing her large teeth, white aa blanched diamonds. "There ia no call for them to go," an swered Grandet, roused from his calcu lations. He beheld a vision of the future he aw eight millions in three years' time he had set forth on a long voyage upon I golden sea. "Let us go to bed. I will go up and pish my nephew a good night from ou -a, and see if he wants anything. Mme. Grandet stayed on the landing outside her room door to hear what her worthy husband might say to Charles. Eugenie, bolder than her mother, weut a tep or two up the second flight , "Well, nephew, you are feeling nn pappy? Yea, cry, it U only natural, a lather Is a father. But we must bear our trouble patiently. Whilst you have ibeen crying I have been thinking for you; I am a kind uncle, you see. Come, don't Jose heart. But you are all in the dark,' Grandet went on. "That's bad that's bad. One ought to see what one is ' ing. What, a wax candle! Where have thoy fished that from? I believe the wenches would pull up the floor of my fcouse to cook eggs for that boy." Mother and daughter, hearing these words, fled to their rooms and crept into their beds like frightened mice. , Mme. Grandet, you have a lot of money somewhere, it seems," said the ivine grower, walking into hia wife's rooms. "I am saying my prayers, dear," fal tered the poor mother. "Very well. Good night. To-mfrrow morning I shall have something to say to you." CHAPTER IX. Mme. Grandet betook herself to flecp !ike a schoolboy w ho has not learned his essona and sees before him the angry face of the master when he wakes. Sheer yerror led her to wrap the sheets about er head, but just at that moment she It a kiss on her forehead. It was Eu uie, who had slipped into the room in he darkness and stood there barefooted It her nightdress. "Oh, mother my kind mother!" she aid. "I shall tell him to morrow morn ing that it waa all my doing." "No, don't. If you do, he will send you away to Noyers. Let me manage it. He will not eat me, after all." ( "Oh, mamma, do you hear? He ta crying still." "Go back to bed. dear. The floor is damp; it will strike cold to your feet." 8o ended the solemn day, which had brought for the poor wealthy heiress a jjreioog '"me!i or sorrow. .ever again Crould Eugenie Grandet sleep as soundly r as lightly as heretofore. ,' The trouble and excitement of the day disturbed her rest; she woke again and gain to listen for auy sound from her cousin's room, thinking that she still lieard the moans that all day long had Vibrated through her heart. Sometimes he seemed to see him lying up there, dy ing of grief; sometimes she dreamed that he waa being starved to death. Toward jBaorning she distinctly heard a terrible rry. She dressed herself at once, ond in khe dim light of the dawn fled noiselessly jup the stairs to her cousin's room. The idoor stood open, the wax candle hail burned itself down to the socket. .Nature bad asserted herself; Charles, still dress- fi, was sleeping in the armchair, with ia head fallen forward on the bed; he had been dreaming as furnished people dream. Eugenie admired the fair young face. It was flushed and tear-stained; the eyelids were swollen with weeping; Jie seemed to be still crying in his sleep, and Eugenie's own tears fell fast. Some (dim feeling thnt his cousin waq prevent iawakened Charles; he opened his eyes land saw her distress. ) "Pardon me, cousin," he said, dream ily. Evidently he had lost all reckon Jiig of time, and did not know where he WM. j "There are hearts here that feel for yon, cousin, and we thought that you jnight perhaps want something. You should go to bed; you will tire yourself oat If you sleep like that" "Yes," he said, "that is true." "Good-by," ahe said, and fled, half in jtonfnsion, half glad that ahe had come. i An hour later she went to her mother's room to help her to dress, as ahe always did. Then the two women went down stain and waited for Grandet's coming In the anxiety which freezes or burns. The cooper came downstairs, spoke In an absent-minded way to hia wife, kissed ugenle, and sat down to table. He temed to have forgotten last Bight's iren's. "What has become of my nephew? The Mid ia not much in the way." "He ia asleep, air," an id Nanon. "So much the hetter; he won't want a .wax candle for that," aaid Grandet, fa leatkmely. His extraordinary mildness and satir ical humor puxxted Mme. Grandet; she Booked earnestly at bar husband. He Jtook tip bis hat and floras with the re al ark: ' "I am foisg to hart a look round in kks saarkst place; I want to moat the OaetMts. Qraadat always stent bat llttte, and prss was to spaod half Us sight la re alris and autarkic scbamos, a process r which his flows, observations and was gaiaed aiaaisalr la c lea mess a ad this wss the sac ret of which waa the ad- DE BALZAC miration of Saumur. During the night this excellent mau'a ideas had takes an entirely new turn; heuce his unusual mildness. He had been wearing a web to entangle them in Paris; he would envelop them in his toils, they should be as clay in his handa: they should hope and tremble, eonie and go, toil and sweat, and all for hia aniute- i nient, all for the old cooper ia the dingy mom at the head ef the worm eaten staircase in the old hou at Saumur; it tickled his sense of humor. ' - m-.s wcttu uu i Li & 1 1 1 g i 'U I u IK nephew. He wanted to save his dead He had been Lhinkinr about his bnrther's name from dishonor in a way that should not cost a penny either to his nephew or to himself. He was al-out to invest his money for three years, hia mind was quite at leisure from his own affairs; he really needed some outlet for his malicious energy, and here was an opportunity supplied by his brother's failure. The claws were idle, he had nothing to squeeze between them, so he would pound the Parisians for Churies" benefit, and exhibit himself in the light of an excellent brother at a very cheap rate. As a matter of fact, the honor of the family name counted for very little with him in this matter; he looked at it from the purely imperwmal point of view of the gambler, w ho likes to see a game well played although it is no affair of his. The Cruchota were uecexsary to him, but he did not mean to go in search of them; they should come to him. That very evening the comedy should begin the main outlines were decided upon al reaoy, lo-morrow ne would he Held up as an object of admiration al over the town, and his gen-rosity should not cost him a farthing! He returned in time for the midday meal, which he took standing. Then the keeper, who had not yet received his promised reward, appeared from i'roid lono. nnnging with him a hare, some partridges shot in the park, a few eels, and a couple of pike sent by him from the miller's. "Aha! so here la old Conioil!r; you come just when you are wanted. like salt fish in Lent. Come. Xanon, look alive! Just take this, it will do for dinner to day; the two Cruchota are coming." N'anon opened her eyes with amaze ment, and stared first at one and then at another. "Oh! indeed," she said; "and where are the herbs and the bacon to come from V "Wife," said Grandet, "let Nanon have six francs." "Well, then, M. Grandet," the game keeper began (he wished to see the ques tion of his salary properly settled, and was duly primed with a speech) "M. Grandet " "Tut, tut, tut," k.-.M Craudet, "I know what you are going to say; you are a g'Mwl fellow, we will see about that to morrow, I am very busy to-day. Give him five francs, wife," he added, and with that he bent a retreat. The poor woman was only too happy to purchase peace at the price of eleven francs. She knew by experience that Grandet usu ally kept quiet for a fortmgbt after he had made her disburse coin by coin the money which he had given her. There, Cnrnoiller," she said, as she slipped ten francs into his hand: "we will repay you for your services one of these days." Madame," said Nanon, who by this time had a basket on her arm, "three francs will be quite enough; keep the rest I shall manage just as well with j three." 'Let us have a good dinner, Xanon, my cousin is coming downstairs," said Eugenic. "There is something very extraordi nary going on, I am sure." Raid Mme. Grandet. "This makes the third time since we were married that your father has aked any one here to dinner." It was nearly 4 o'clock iu the after noon: Eugenie and her mother had laid the cloth and set the table for six per sons. Charles came into the dining room looking white and sad; there was a pa thetic charm about his gestures, his face, bin looks, the tones of his voice; his sor row had given him the interesting look that women like so well, and Eugenie only loved him the more because his fea tures were worn with pain. Perhaps, too, his trouble had brought them near er in other ways. Charles was no long er the rich and handsome young man who lived in a sphere far beyond her ken; he was in deep and terrible dis tress, and sorrow is a great leveier. Charles and Eugenie understood each other without a word being spoken on either side. The poor dandy of yester day, fallen from his high estate, to-day was an orphan, who sat in a corner of the room, quiet composed and proud, but from time to time he met his cousin's eyes, her kind and affectionate giance rested on him, and compelled him to shake off hia dark and somber broodings, and to look forward with her to a future full of hope, in which she loved to think that she might share. The news of Grandet's dinner party caused even greater excitement in Sau mur than the sale of his vintage, al though this latter proceeding had been a crime of the blackest dye, an act of high treason against the vine growers' interest It was not long before the de Gra sins heard of Guillaume Grandet's violent end and impending bankruptcy. They determined to pay a Tisit to their client that evening, to condole with him in his affliction, and to show a friendly inter est; while they endeavored W discover the motives which could have led Gran det to invite the Cruchota to dinner at such a time. Precisely at 5 o'clock President C. de Bonfons and his uncle the notary arriv ed, dressed up to the nines this time. The guests seated themselves at .table, and began by attacking their dinner with remarkably good appetites. Grandet was solemn, Charles was silent, Eugenie was dumb, and Mme. Grandet aaid no more than usual; if it had been a funeral re peat, it could not well hare been less lively. When they rose from the table. Charles addressed his aunt and ancle: "Will yoa permit me to withdraw? I have some long sad difficult letters to writs." i "By aB When HistIcs bad left tbe r-w.m, sn4 I' - au. table relathe couid fair:' asum that he was out of earshot, Graudet gave lii il"e a sinister glance. "Mme. tjraudet. what we are soiug la say will be lirwk to you; it is half past 7 o'ciu. k,( you ought to be off to bed by this time. Good night, my daughter." He kissed Kugeuie, and mother ud daughter left the room. CHAPTER X. Now, if ever in his life, Grandet dis played all the shrew due which he had acquired in the course of his long expe rience or men and business, and all the cunning which had gaiued him the nick name of "old fox" among tboe who had felt hi teeth a little too sharply. "M-ui-monsieur le P-p-presideut, you were assaying that b-b-bankruptcy " Here the trick of stammering which it had pleased the vine grower to assume o long ago mat every one believed it to be natural to bim, grew so unbearably tedious for the Crux-hot pair, that as f " - "" to catch the syllables they made unconscious grimaces, movine their lips as if they would fain finish the words iu which the cooper entangled both himself and them at bis pleasuie. The present busiuens required more deafness, more stammering, more of the mazy circumlocutions In which Grandet waa wont to involve himself, than any previous transaction in his life; for. in the first place, he wished to throw the responsibility of his ideas on somo one else- some one else was to auggest hia own schemes to him, while he was to keep himself to 'lixself. and leave every one iu the dark as to his real iiitenli-jiis. "Mou-sieur de B it Uonfous, you w ere s-s-s-xaying that in certain cases, p-p-p-pmceeding in b b-baukruptcy might be s s-s-stopped b-b-b-by " "At the instance of a Tribunal of Com merce. That is done every day of the year," said M. (.. de Bonfons, guessing, as he thought, at old Grandet's idea, and running away with it. "Linteo!' he said, and in the most amiable way he prepared to explain himself. "I am listening, ' replied the older man meekly, and his faee assumed A demure expression. He looked like some small boy who is laughing in his sleeve at his schoolmaster while .ppcaring to pay the most respectful attention. "When anybody who is in a large way of business and is much looked up to, like your late brother in Paris, for in stance, is likely to find himself insol vent " "lus -s-solveiit, do they call it?" "Ves. When his failure is imminent, the Tribunal of Commerce, to which he is amenable has M)er by a judgment to ! appoint liquidators to wind up the busi ness. Liquidation is not bankruptcy, do you understand? It is a disgraceful thing to be a bankrupt, but a liquidation re flets no discredit on a man." "It is quite a d-d -different thing, if only it d-d-does not cost auy more," aaid Grandet "Yes. But a liquidation can be pri vately arranged without having recourse to the Tribunal of Commerce," said the president. "How is a uiau declared bankrupt ?" "Yes how?" inquired Grandet. "I hate n-u-never thought iilmut it" "In the first place, he may himself file a petition and leave his schedule with the clerk of the court; the debtor himself draws it up or authorizes some one else to do so, and it is duly registered. Or, in the second place, his creditors may make him a bankrupt But supposing the debtor does not file a petition, and none of his creditors make application to the court for a judgment declaring him bankrupt now let us see what happens then!" "Yes let us s-a see." "In that case, the family of the deceas ed, or his representatives, or hia residu ary legatee, or the man himself, if he la not dead, or his friends for him, liquidate his affairs. Now, possibly, you may in- tenu to co tEis it. your srst&rr x case 7 inquired the president. "Oh, Grandet!" exclaimed the notary. "That would be acting very handsomely! We In the provinces have our notions of honor. If you saved your name from dis honor for it is your name you would be " "Sublime!" cried the president, inter rupting his uncle. (To be continued ! FIRST PAPER EVER MADE. Early New England Journal Cuts Its Circulation to Conform to Supply. Zcnos Crane was the first paper maker In the United State, and it Is recorded hi the archives of Massachu setts that he spent hbj first night In Berkshire at a little wayside Inn, with in a stone's throw of where the hand some residences and thriving mills of his descendants now ataud and almost on the identical spot where his grand son, formerly Governor of Massachu setts, superintends the rast machinery of the famous mill where all the paper for the United State money is manu factured. But the pioneer, weary from the long journey on horseback and without any capital save brains and an independent spirit, could scarcely have prophesied the proportions to which the seed he was about to plant would grow. In fact it was not until two years later that the money was raised and partners secured with which to tart a little one-vat mill. At the time the establishment of a manufactory in auy part of America was considered a hold and daugeroua experiment and hailed by press and people as a patriotic act Skilled work men were rare and it was more diffi cult to reach a market a few miles dis tant than it now I to encircle the globe. There were only a few paper mills and these were obliged to shut down frequently for lack of operator! or of raw material. There was no sys tematic method of collecting rags and much of the product of the mills waa carted about the country and ex changed for rags and a little money. While the colonies were under Engllab rule It was the policy to repress colo nial manufacture. The few that grew up were forced to their full capacity during the revolutionary war and threatened with extinction when the peace of 1783 permitted the Importa tion of foreign goods.
