FITCHBURG. MASS. Blood h's, watchim; them at their work; smiling much but speaking Ut ile, and teaching as much French aa ihe learned: English. To this day, Durham, people laugh and repeat her iranae foreign words ana phrases. Alexis, the father, was steady at bis or gardening and haying; Marie, elder, bis wife, washed and ironed ind sewed and swept, and was a many households; now and Sunday they set off early in Inn and walked to the man ufacturing town whence they had the Summer, when they felt prosper- thev sometimes hired a horse ana wagon and drove there with the child them.

uuinam vmage was the brighter and better for their pres ence, and the few old-fashioned bouses that knew them treasured them, and French Mary reigned over her klng-L lorn with no revolt-or disaffection -to1 he Summer's end. She seemed to ful-ail all the duties of her childish life by some exquisite insgnct and infallible sense of fitness and propriety. One September morning, after the first frost the Captain -smd-hlff-frleiias were sitting in the store with the door shut The Captain was the last comer. "I've got bad news," be Baid, and they all turned t9ward htm, apprehensive and forewarned. "Alexis says he's going right away" (regret was mingled with the joy of having a piece of news to teiu.

"Xes, Alexis is going away; he's packing up now, "and has spoke for Foster's hay sart to movents stuff to the railroad." "What makes him so foolish?" said Mr. Srfooner. "He says bts folks expect him In Canada; he's got an aunt livln' there that owns a good bouse and farm. ind she's glttln old and wants to have him settled at home to tak cai "lv heard these French folks only deylre to get forehanded a little, and then they go right back where they come from said sdine one, with an air of disapproval. "He says he'll send another here, he knows somebody that will be glad of the chance, but I don't seem to like the Idea so well." said Capt.

Weathers, doubtfully. "Wve all got so used to Alexin and bis wife; they knjw now where we keep everything and have got to be so handy Strange thev don't know when they're well off. I suppose It's natural they should want to be wth their own folks. Then there's tne little g.rL" At liiis momett the store door was opened and French Mary came in. She was dressed in her best and her eyea were shining.

"1 go to Canada ze cars!" -she an. nounced Joyfully. nnd came dancing flown between the two long covi toward her regretful friends; they had never seen her so charming. Argument and egret were Impossible -the forebodings of elderly met and their experience of life were of nt use at that moment, a gleam of youth and hope was theirs by sympathy stead. A child's pleasure In a Journey movjs the dullest heart: the captain was the first to find some means press Ion.

"Give me some o' that best candy for l.er," he commanded the etorekeepi "No. take a bigger piece of paper, and tie It ud well." "Ain't she dressed a little thin'' gruff Mr. Spooner anxiously, and for his part he pointed the storekeeper a small plaid shawl that hung ov head, and stooped to wrup It hlmselt about the little shoulders. "I must get the little girl something. too, said the minister, who wa grandfather and had Just come in his mall.

"What do you like best. dear?" and French Mary pointed shyly, but with Instant decision, at a blue silk parasol, with a white handle, which was somewhat the worse for having been openly displayed all Slimmer. The minister bought it with pleasure, like a country boy at a fair, and put into her hand French Mary kissed the minister with rapture and gave him her hand to shake, then she put down the parasol and ran and climbed Into the old tain's lap and hugged him with both arms tight -round his neck Shethoug-it for a moment whether she should kiss Mr. Ezra Spooner or not, but happily she did not decide against It and said an affectionate good-bye to him and all the rest. Mr, Staples himself out from behind the counter to say farewell and bestow some raisins They all followed her to the door and stood watching while she tucked her bundles under her arm and raised the new asol and walked away down the street In the chilly Autumn morning had taken her French gayety and charm and all her childish sweetness and dignity away "with her.

Little Frnch Mary had gone Fate had plucked her like Sower out of their -lives. She did not turn but when she was half way home she began to run and the new sbawl was given gayly to the breeie. The captain sighed. "I wish the little girl well." he said, and -turned away. "We shall ml3s her, but she doesn't know what parting is I hope shell please them Just as weU In Canada." ronami!

IET3.J The town of Dulbam was not used to eeein foreign 3 of any "rt. oe tc bearing tolr voltes In its streets, so that It wsi In ssrae cnse a. matter of public Interest when a Canadian fam ily was rcporica to nave uie white house by the bridge. This bouse, fcinall and low storte-X, -srith a bwby little garden in front, had -een standing empty for sevsral months.

TJsaalts when a house was left tonantless julbam it remained could fell Into do- ca. and, after eorae years, the cinnamon -rose bushes straggled Into the cellar, and the dutiful gross grew over the mound that covered tbe chimney bricks. rmiham was a quiet place. where the population dwindled stead ily, though such citizens as remained had more and more reasan to thlnjt it as pleasant as any country town in the Some of the old men who met every oay to talk over the town affairs were much Interested in tbe newcomers. They approved "the course" of the strong-looking young Canadian laborer who had been aulck to seize upon bin opportunity; one or two of them had already engaged him to make their gardens, and to do odd lob3.

and were pleased with his quickness and willingness He had come afoot one day from a neighboring town, where be and his wife had been made III by had drainage and factory work, and saw the little house, and asked the postmaster if there were any work to be had out of doors that Spring In Dulbam. Being assured of his prospects, he reappeared with his pale, bright-eyed wife and little daughter tbe very next day but one. This srsrtllns promptness bad given time for but few neighbor, and as one after another a(ne -over the bridge- and along the road there were many asked. The house seemed looking outyof Its small -paned windows. there were clean white curtains, ana cblna dogs on the window sills, and blue smoke in the chimney the Spring Bun shining in at tbe wJ de-ope dor.

There was a chilly east wind on ai April day, and the elderly men wer gathered inside the postomcc, which waB also tbe chief grocery and dry roods store Each wrs In his favorite armchair, and there was the excuse a. morning fire hi the box stove to inaki them form again Into the close group that was usua.ly broken up at the ap-pioath of Summer weather Old Capt lexis, i (tire did and was say for tbe third or fourth time that mare wfrk you set for the Frenchman the better pleased be seemed 'HeloetL'em to lay a carpet yesteiday at oar houe, neat as said the Capdln, with approval. "Made the garden tbe front yard so It hash looked so well for years.

A-lexiS would, quick an' will" "They say Canada French ain't spoke the same, an wwty" began the Cap tain's devoted friend. Mr. Ezra Spooner by way of assurance, when thi door opened and a bright little figure stood looking in. All tbe gray-headed men turned that way, and every thenAmiled. "Come right In, said the tflnd hearted old Captain.

They saw a charming little about years old, who smiled back again from under her neat bit of a hat she wore a pfnk dress that made hei look still mow like a flower, and said "Bon Jour" prettily to the gentle men as she passed. Henry Staples. th Storekeeper and postmaster, rose behtiu the counter to if she had been a queen, and took fron her- hand the letter she brought, will the amount of Its postage folded up In a. warm bit of newspaper. Tbe Captain and his friends looked with admiration.

"Glv-i her a piece of candy no. give It to mi an' I'll give It to her." said Captain eagerly, reaching for his and leaving his chair with more than usual agility, and everybody looked while he took a striped stick of pepper- "mint from the storekeeper and offered It gallantly. There was something the way this favor was accepted that savored of the French court and made every man In the store a lover. The chnd not only made a qualm bow before she reached out her hand with childish eagerness for the unex pected delight, but she stepped forward and kissed the Captain. There was a murmur of delight charming-courtesy man -then would not have liked to fin cuse for walking away with her, and there was a general Blgh as she shut the door behind her and looked back through the glass with a parting smile "That's -little French Mary, Alexis' little girl," said the storekeeper, eager to proclaim hl3 advantage of previous day and did an errand for her mother a nice as a grown person "I never saw a little creator' with prettier ways," said the Captain, blushing and tapping bis cane on the floor.

This am appearance of the little foreigner on an April day was like the coming of a young queen to her kingdom. She reigned all Summer over every heart In Dulham not a face, but wore Its smiles when French Mary came down the street, not a mother who did not ay to her children that he Wished they had such pretty man- Jttffl-AftA. kept their frocto ma neat CO.
