England and Prance.
It has been playfully observed that
the mutual antipathies and attractions
of England and France resemble to
curious degree those of man and wo-
man, perhaps one might say of man
and woman attached to each other by
a marriage de convenance—geograph
Ique. "We do all naturally hate the
French," Mr. Pepys observed long ago.
(Does any nation, by the way, love Its
neighbor?) France has never ceased
to Interest us, or indeed to Inspire
part of our Ideas and conduct. Right-
ly, declares George H. Powell, In Fort-
nightly Review, do her historians
descant of the glorious role she has
played In the general work of civiliza-
tion, of the "sympathetic genius which
has seized and translated for Europe
the ideas of reason, justice, and all
the theory of life, private and public,
which has "preserved even in the use-
ful and frivolous the tradition of art,”
of the idealist perseverance, whose
experiments have saved the world so
much suffering and "made of her fol-
lies the wisdom of other nations.”
The recent visit of the president to
his sons who are being educated in
New England has impelled a biograph-
ical statistician to look up the careers
of the sons of former presidents, with
interesting results. Twenty-one sons
of the presidents reached maturity,
nine of them have held prominent po-
sitions, and all but one or two have

CHAPTER V.—Continued.
I shrugged my shoulders and turned
toward Glenarm. My grandfather had
left me a cheerful legacy of distrust
among my neighbors, the result, prob-
ably, of importing foreign labor to
work on his house. The surly Morgan
had intimated as much; but it did not
greatly matter. I had not come to
Glenarm to cultivate the rustics, but
to fulfill certain obligations laid down
in my grandfather’s will. I was, so to
speak, on duty, and I much preferred
that the villagers should let me alone.
Comforting myself with these reflec-
tions I reached the wharf, where I saw
Morgan sitting with his feet dangling
over the water, smoking a pipe.
I nodded in his "direction, but he
feigned not to see me. A moment later
he jumped into his boat and rowed out
npon the lake.
When I returned to the house Bates
was at work in the kitchen. This was
a large square room with heavy tim-
bers showing in the walls and low
ceiling. There was a great fireplace
In an enormous chimney, fitted with
a crane and hobs, but for practical pur-
poses a small range was provided.
Bates received me placidly.
“Yes; it's an unusual room, ait. Mr.
Glenarm copied it from an old kitchen
England. He took quite a pride in
“T Ato/ateon
I crouched down on the wall and wait-
ed. In a moment a man plunged
through the wood an<f stumbled over
a low hanging vine and fell, not 20 feet
away from me. To my great surprise
it was Morgan, my acquaintance of the
morning. He rose, cursed his ill luck
and, hugging the wall close, ran
toward the lake. Instantly the pursuer
broke into view. It was Bates, evi-
dently much excited and with an ugly
cut across his forehead. He carried
a heavy club, and, after listening for
a moment for sounds of the enemy, he
hurried after the caretaker.
It was not my row, though I must
say it wakened my curiosity. I
straightened myself out, threw my
legs over the school side of the wall
and lighted a cigar, Reeling cheered
by the opportunity the stone barricade
offered for observing the world.
As I looked off toward the little
church I found two other actors ap-
pearing on the scene. A girl stood in
a little opening of the wood, talking
to a man. Her hands were thrust into
the girl, whose youth was, I reflected,
marked by her short skirt, the uncon-
cern with which her bands were thrust
into the pockets of her coat, and the
irresponsible tilt of the tam-o’-shanter.
There is 'something jaunty, a sugges-
tion of spirit and independence, in a
tam-o’-shanter, particularly a red one.
If the red tam-o’-shanter expressed, so
to speak, the key-note of St« Agatha's,
the proximity of the school was not so
bad a thing after all.
In a high good-humor and with
sharp appetite I went in to luncheon.

The Girl and the Canoe.
Bates did not refer to hiB encounter
with the caretaker, and I resolved to
keep my knowledge of it to myself,
always prefer to let a rascal hang him-
self, and here was a case, I reasoned,
where, if Bates was disloyal to the
duties Pickering had Imposed upon
him, the fact of his perfidy was bound
to disclose itself eventually. Glancing
around at him when he was off guard
I surprised a look of utter dejection
upon his face as he stood with folded
arms behind my chair.
He flushed and started, then put his
hand to his forehead, where a strip of
plaster covered his wound.
"I met with a slight accident this
morning, Mr. Glenarm. The hickory’s
very tough, sir. A piece of wood flew
up and struck me.”
“Too bad!” I said with sympathy.
"You’d better rest, a bit this after-
noon,”

cause
may be traced back to a mule, the row I
lhaving begun over the alleged theft
of one of the quadrupeds from Hon-
duras by a body of Nicaraguan caval-
rymen. If so, the matter was too j
trivial to lose time and temper over.
And if the row arose on account of a

break with the'i^JIerslys.
“She wishes toNjme to you here—
this afternoon, if are to be at
home. She asked me to say that her
business is important—and very pri-
vate.”
I hesitated, but I could think of no
good excuse for refusing. “I’ll be
here an hour,” said I. “Good day.”
He gave me no time to change my
mind. Something—perhaps it was
his curious expression as he took him-
self off—made me begin to regret
The more I thought of the matter,
the less I thought of my having made
any civil concession to a woman who
had acted so badly toward Anita and
myself. He had not been gone a
quarter of an hour before I went to
Anita in her sitting room. Always,
the instant I entered the outer door
of her part of our house, that power-
ful, intoxicating fascination that she
had for me began to take possession
of my senses. It was in every gar-
ment she wore. It seemed to linger
in any place where she had been, for
a long time after she left it. She
was at a small desk by the window,
was writing letters.
“May I interrupt?” said I. “Monson
was here a few minutes ago—from
Mrs. Lang#lon. She wants to see me.
I told him I would see her here. Then
it occurred to me that perhaps I had
been too good-natured. What do you
think?’’
I could not see her face, but only
the back of her head, and the loose
coils of magnetic hair and the white
nape of her graceful neck. As I be-
gan to speak, she stopped writing, her
pen suspended over the sheet of
paper. After I ended there was a
long silence.
“I’ll not see her,” said I. "I don’t
quite understand why I yielded." And
I turned to go.
“Wait—please,” came from her ab-
ruptly.
Another long silence. Then I: “If
she comes here, I think the only per-
son who can properly receive her Is
you.”
“No—you must see her,” said Anita
at last. And she turned round in her
chair until she was facing me. Her
expression—I can not describe it. I
can only say that it gave me a sense
of impending calamity.
“I’d rather not—much rather not,"
“"I particularly wish you to see her,” G’fCe^and U wiU be occupied
she replied, and she turned back to
her writing. I saw her pen poised aa
if she were about to begin; but she
did not begin—and I felt that sha
would not. With my mind shadowed

and theit four little children. They
had tired of the suburbs and decided
to move to the city.
Arriving in the metropolis, Mrs.
Gunbusta popped into the first real
estate office that confronted her, and,
going up to a ruddy-faced, chubby
man seated at a polished desk, she
gasped:

replied the man, wheeling about in hi*
chair; “there is a fine place two
blocks down, right on the corner; tako

She smiled, podded and turned swift-
ly toward the school. The chaplain
looked after her for a few moments,
then walked soberly away toward the
lake. He was a young fellow, clean-
shaven and dark, and with a pair of
shoulders that gave me a twinge of
envy. I could not guess how great a
factor that vigorous figure was to be
in my own affairs. As I swung down
from the wall and walked toward
