Until now I did not know!" be had murmured all tfae way. He aaid ao dreamily to the cabby, halt dizedly to Mr. Guligan on the third floor, and reached the little landiBg with the Are of hie sonata still hot upon him. Then the door of the blue room open ed for the Fraulein Dorothy all dre9eed for her journey. At the eight of Herr Baueru.ektef, bow in hand-before her, he stopped confused, and put out her hand with a new shyness. "Good bye," she said; "I reckon I must leave you for awhile for a long while." The lore song was throbbing louder and louder in Herr Hans' brain; he beat it down and bent over her band with foreign courtesy; then, all of a sudden, a great wave of emotion swept through him, the violin flew one way, the bow another, and, on his kBeee,"Meine Dorothy!" he. cried; the violin went bing-banging down the stairway, and the Sbaughess; s could be heard scurrying about at the clatter. Dorothy, with a frightened little cry, jerked her hand away and fairly run down the steps. "Now have I ruined all," groaned Herr Bauermeist er, and got to his feet like a man who bad lost the world and played the fool besides. But Dorothy had stopped at the land ing. "Not all Hans," said she, softly. "I reckon I don't know but three words in German, but" she blushed to the eyelids "Han, Ich lithe dick.'' Nick Lensen, toiling upward, gasped as she 2ed past him, and found a mad German, dancing, Binging with a half dozen wild red-heads on the little land by the blue room door. 'Henry Seidel Canby, in the Outlook. HERMANCE. (mariax smith. Santiago de Chile.) As I sat in my room one Sunday after noon with the warm Chilean sun (out for its firstlholiday after the gloom of the wet season) streaming across the floor from the western window, an orange came rolling in across the floor and with it, through the open door, the sound of t subdued giggles. A moment later the giggles were no longer sub dued and a young girl in red came bounding into the room, deluging my face and neck with the warmest of vol- VOL KlflBBO She had come to ask which of the three onewou!d say in English, "From ise to love," -Swear to love," or "Vow to love," and also if I had not some extra tickets for the school concert, and while she talked about other things 1 recalled a Etrange caballero who wanders along oar streets at night and either whistles plaintive airs or warbles tender verses with an ardent refrain of "Amar," and there came to mind also the photograph of a young man in the fancy drees of a cavalier, the center of the elaborate boarding school decorations in her room. The school gossip subsided, and the little things of her home life, which are so dear to a girl away from.it all. came into the conversation; her home in Peru, thegay brother at school in Paris, the box of linenforher own trousseau, her mother's beautiful embroidery, and than her mother's young romance, all told in a qaaint mixture of Spanish and English, but svsry gesture and every line of the dress which her mother had fashioned for her bespeaking her be loved and glorious Frapce. Her father and' mother had been mar ried on the Isthmus in the early days of the French excitement. I could re member so wsll Colon and Panama and a quick trip between them on the little railroad, every tie of which had casta human life; a trip through bristling alsMaad beat and houses built on -stilts, with a station forevery mile; with Gsuaese'shops and bleached Europeans and languid negroes in every stage of dress and lack of dress; then the long, hot docks at Panama, with the blue bay all fringed with palms and dotted over with fisniDg pelicans. Her grandfather had come to Panama to join his friend, the French consul, leaving his own motherless children be hind in France, but bringing with him the youngest, a daugher, Marie, and at the same time came seventeen young engineers and assistants sent out by the French government for work on the canal. The consul's wife undertook to complete the convent education of Marie and taught her the most wonder ful embroideries and the demureness of behavior becoming to the only young French girl on the Isthmus. When tbey had been there only a year a .feast was given in the big white French consulata in honor ot the great day, the "Taking of the Bastille," and the seventeen heroes and one heroine assembled. The negro servents warned the company not to eat bananas, which are the principal fruit of the Isthmus, f jr fear of the yellow fever, but Marie was wilful and passed them to her fath er and to a young can near her whom she had found to be "Mury sympatica," and they three ate the forbidden fruit. In ten days one young man fell ill with the dreaded fever, and one by one they all sickened and died like sheep, all except one, Hypolyte, who had eaten with Marie. "From that day," said Hermance, ''they two began to love, and, one day, the consul, dressed in his finest clothes, appeared at my grandpapa's and said; 'Epoleeta today has been saying that he can be no more happy without Maria.' and my grandpapa be say, 'He ia a good young man. He make my daughter happy and I am gettiDg old, so set the day.' And now myapa he laugh and say to my mamman, 'I marry you be cause of the banana."
