two Sgareo which hnve cnaght the pop-
alar Inaaglantloa not only of Fraace

read.
IN THE year 1726 a young man of
Normandy brought to the Isle de
France his young wife, whose fam-
ily was of noble blood. Shortly after-
ward he was taken with the fever and
died, leaving her alone on the Isle.
F"trangea from her furnlly and with-
out means, the young widow madj her
way to an uninhabited island whore
she could cultivate the soli without
the payment of rent, and there sh
built a rude home for herself and her
little child, a daughter whom she
named Virginia.
At the same time another woman
with a son tamed Panl settled on the
same island, and the two women, mu-
tually grateful for aid and comfort, be-
came fast friends, although they had
been of different stations in life.
Marguerite's servant, named Domin-
go, a powerful black man, wan the
husband of Marie, who was Madame
de La four's hand maid. Bound to
each otfc by similar needs the two
lonely women spent much time togeth-
er, and the two children were almost
Inseparable. Their attachment was
very marked even from the cradle. If
Virginia was in trouble, the cries of
Paul made It known. When they
learned to speak, the first names they
learned to give each other were broth
er and sister. For the rest, ihey went
almost naked, and could neither reaJ
nor write.
From the beauty of their hare llmbR
one might fancy them two of Nlobe's
children escaped from the marble.
As Madame de La Tour saw the un
folding charms of her daughter she be-
came alarmed for her future and hum-
bled herself to write to an old runt In
France asking for aid for Virginia's
sake.
The aunt replied coldly, commending
her to the governor of the Island, add-
ing: "Your disgraceful marriage has
brought Its righteous punishment"
Deserted by her kinsfolk, the poor
widow took Paul and Virginia to her
arms.
Paul became a planter, busy and
skilful, while Virginia spun or tended
the goats and helped In the house.
Thus passed their Innocent youth.
To them Madame de La Tour read
the stories which time had hallowed,
teaching them to find their happiness
In serving others.
Their lives seemed hound up In that
of the trees. They knew no historical
epochs, no chronology save that of
their orchards. No care wrinkled ♦heir
brows, no Intemperance poisoned their
blood. They had all the freshness of
the morning of life. They loved each
other naturally and purely.
It was wise Marguerite who said:
"Let, us marry our children. Soon
I'nul will be a man, and tben we will
have much to fear."
Madame de La Tour hesitated. "Let
us wait. Let us send Paul to India
for a time. There he will be able to
cam money with which to provide a
home for himself and Virginia."
To this plan Paul would not consent.
"I am needed here. Domingo Is old
and our mother* are alone. I shall
atay."
At this moment came another letter
from the aunt Id Normandy asking
that Virginia be sent to her for edu-
cation. "If she follows my wishes,"
the aunt wrote, "she may look forward
to being my heiress."
Virginia was alarmed at this offer
and Paul was angry. The madame de-
cided against It.
The governor of the Island now
urged that Virginia he sent.
A missionary of the Island joined the
governor In urging that Virginia go to
her kinswoman, and at last with a
heart tilled with anguish, mother and
daughter, thinking It God's will, con-
tented.
Paul was puisled by >11 this secret
■ouncll.
Meanwhile Virginia's consent had
nought from her aunt gold to pay for
clathee and Jewels snd her passage,
and she was a transformed being. In
her muslin and taffeta, with her hair
la the manner of the period, she looked
the duchess, and Paul was thrown Into
despair at sight of her beauty and her
allen magnificence.
Distressed by his grief and hoping
to cure him of his false hores, Mar-
guerite now told him that he was only
the Illegitimate son of a peasant, while
Vlnglnla was the daughter of a noble-
woman.
Paul, pressing her In his arms, as-
sured hjr that as he had ne other
relative, he would love tier the more
"But I see now why Madame de Ls
Tour avoids me."
As the thought ef losing Virginia
came to him, Paul lost control ef him-
self. Clasping her In his arms, he
said: "I am going with you. Nothing
shall part us. I swear It by the sea
that I must cross, by the air, to which
I have never breathed a lie."
Nevertheless, Virginia was tsken
away from him while he was wander-
ing In the forest mad with his fears.
When be returned to the cabin and
found ber gone, be rushed to a high
point from which the outgoing vessel
could be Men, and there he stood till
the darkness fell and the night wlnd«
began to sing their songs In bis ear.
Thereafter when he saw the two
mothers weeplpg, he bitterly said.
"Seek someone oise to wipe away your
tears."
At last he turned his thought to the
garden snd to a new task. He de-
termined to learn to read. He wished
te be able to read of the country to
which his love bad gone. In a very
short time he was able to read, and
when at last a letter came from Vir-
ginia he was sble to read It for him-
self. It- was a sweet letter, but not s
cheerful one. The girl's heart was
In her ' <-uy Island, and she asked
Paul to l it the Bower seeds which
she sent, upon the spot where they had
last talked together—a place she called
Farewell Rock.
As the months passed, envious i'olk
began to whisper that Virginia was
about to marry a nobleman, and Paul
was a prey to doubt and despair.
One morning at daybreak Paul saw
a white flag flying on Mount Discovery.
It was a sign that a ship was In the
oiling. A little later a letter from
Virginia to Madame de La Tour wus
handed to Paul. Rapturously kissing
It, he thrust it Into his bosom and
hastened to his home! To all the
household madame read the tetter.
Virginia was coming home I She would
soon land. Masters and servants all
embraced.
"My son," said Madame de La Tour,
"go tell alt our neighbors, Virginia ls
coming home."
To this happy household a negro
messenger came to say that the ship
was In distress and firing guns for
help. A storm was approaching. By
midnight the sea wss hammering the
rocks with fearful roar. The Bound of
the signal guns was dreadful In Paul's
ears. All night long he and his falthfu'
Domingo waited for the dawn In sil-
ence and dread.
At dawn the governor with a file
of soldiers arrived at a point near
which the ship could be dimly seen In
the fog. All signs pointed to a hurri-
cane, and the people gothered In the
.hope of assisting the ship to land Its
passengers.
At 9 o'clock a whirlwind swept tho
harbor clear of fog and the ship was
seen moored near the rocks. Her head
was set toward the billows which
rolled from the open sea.
Suddenly, In the midst of a terrlhle
rush of sea, the cables parted. The
'ship was thrown upon the rocks. A
cry of despair arose among those who
stood on shore, Paul, in fremy, was
about to throw himself Into the sea.
when a strong hand prevented him. In
order to save his life, they bound him
fast with a long rope and let Mm leap
Into the water. He tried to reach the
Milp, only to be flung back upon the
sands.
The crew threw themselves Into the
sea. Those on shore saw a young
woman stretching out her arms In
piteous entreaty. It was Vlrglnls, al-
most the last to remain on board. In
a moment she, too, was struggling In
the cruel sea.
Paul, unconscious and bleeding from
his last attempt to reach the ship, was
carried to a neighboring house, while
old. Domingo and other friends
searched the beacb for the body of
Virginia.
At last In despair they started back
to tell Virginia's mother of the girl's
tragic death. On the way some ne-
groes told them that wreckage had
been driven In at Palm River valley,
and so Domingo and his companion
turned aside to look once again for the
body.
There on the sand, half hurled, yet
with a serene and beautiful face, lay
the maiden, richly clad. One hand
rested upon her gown, the other was
pressed to her heart and covered a
fclcture of Paul.
Lifting ber gently, the servants car-
ried her to a fisherman's but and left
her.
In the morning Paul was brought
home. He had regained bis senses but
he could not utter a word. His com
Ing brought a ray of hope.
After a beautiful and touching cere
mony, In which the black people tool
a part, they burled the lovely bod>
on the western Bide of the church, at
a point where she had often rested
when on her way to mass, with Paul
and there a few weeks later they
brought bis body In Order that he
might rest forever by her stile.
