After a moment Lucy epoke.
Terse, don't you want Nina here with
you? I am sure Madam Bertrand
would let her off without a notice, and
we can get her sewing to do here in the

come!"
When Lucy began speaking Trese had
opened her eyes. They had a strained,
faraway look, but as Lucy talked they
grew large and bright: At the words,
"Shan't I write and tell her to come?"

tears gathered, and, sitting up, Bbe
stretched out her arms, crying: "Mon
Pere! Mon Fere! then fell back white
and trembling.
Lucy was frightened. Hurrying to
the kitchen for some water, she came
back crying, "Trese! Trese! What is the
matter?"
It was some time before Lucy could

Btood on a bracket below a print ot the
Virgin at the foot of the bed. It was
the picture of a youDg girl with curly
hair and great laughing grey eyes.
Trese looked at the picture, and then at
the Virgin, and murmured "Ma petite

her lips moving as though in prayer.
Then she spoke. "No, Miss Lucy, my
Nina must not come here. These neigh

my little one. It is right where she is.
A long pause, while Trese breathed
heavily. "I may live a long, long time.
She would lose all chance." Here Lucy
broke in, but Trese continued:
"She is good, but that would not be
right."
Then placing her thin hand on Lucy's
soft white one: "Your father and you
are so good. I want not. She fs young
and happy; I am old, so old."
There was a step across the kitchen
and Father Marand entered.
