cultivated tate as tt la a cultivated smelt sold a leading iea expert when I asked hi to to tell me eome thing about hla profession Of course we sometimes taste but tba fumes from a cup ot tea generally enable us to Judge ot the value of the aample from which It la brewed The export waa seated at a round table around tho edcu ot which were ran gad a circle ot ordinary lea cups Beslda each

In which the Abbe waa seated made a motion a though be would stopt some exhortations addressed to him from tba carriage with a swevtness which was almost paternal tha animal continued bis short and

hi master had never beaten blm for tha excellent reason that be had no whip and contented himself with a kind word or a pull on tha reins when ha dealrad to hasten bis pace Dut this evening a depressing stormy night In June without stars or moon the Abbe wisbeJ as they say In poetry that bis atecd bad tba wings of Alcyon found blm slow1 and was mindful to urge blm onward as they bad several teaguea to go and tbough they had been on the road for an hour they wore atill not halt way on their Journey Lesprlt tba messenger of Chauvlgny it was at this placo that Abba Lalne bad fulfilled the function of Cure for the last ten arsj returning that evening from bis dally Journey hd about 9 oclock carried the news to tha priest that tha Good Wlfo Doradoux the flag woman at the Thiezy crossing would probably not live through the night and aha was very much exercised about dying without confessing her rtns and rocelvlns communion The Abbe had dressed himself at once and bad awkened Holo pherne who was in tho midst of a dellgatful dream of thistles but who was accustomed however to these night Jaurne which the administering ot th last sacraments ao often Imposed upon hlra As soon aa his carriage was harnessed Abb Lalne bad gone straight to tho church and standing on tiptoes by tho dim light ot a solitary candle ba had taken the consecrated host from tha white painted wooden tabernacle with everything that waa necessary for administering tho Mat leu in At this lite Lour SSO all the vlllase children were In bed and asleep Although Lacabasso the beadle had offered with a generous 1 nil stance to accompany him to hold the boly oils for him and assist In hla duties Abbe Lalne would not consent to iUcabassea touching proposition Ho wa not Icsa than 71 yeara old and notwithstanding tho old mans exclamations joined to tbe most sinister predictions of his servant ho decided he would go alone all alone to Doradoux and that ha ran no danger ai tha forest had not a bad reputation llasldes would not the Don DIeu accompany him on bla journey Consequently thero was nothing to tear He had tbo little stiver box which enclosed tie I lost carefully wrapped up and safely buttoned lu tna Inside pocket ot his coat and a rein la each hand he drove Holo pbarna out Into the night his lips moving In prayer A lantern bad been tied before ho set out to ona of the wagon shafts and gave blm Just light enough to prevent him from lng upset In one ot the dltthes on Vie elde of tbe road and tha Abba thought that without tha faint light of this beacon he would never have been able to escape them the night was so dark a real dood Friday Tetteure service He bad passed tho FoupPendu woods when ba thought be heard tho noise of steps a little In advance of hlin At that moment llolopberno stopped short The Abba had nover known fear having the Idea ot death always before him anl being In tho habit of saying without knowing IIwith Hamlet A eparrow falUth not without permission ot tbe Almtght Ha bad always considered that the moat redoubtable assassin were our own vice and that there was no treatr danger than sin Doing a very sltnptomtnded man ha did not get

under the weight of heavy leap and the prlcat fell a man It down beslda him A man whom ha alsa pueseeJ to be tall and strong As soon as was seated tho Abbe could vaguely dlstlrrulsh tha feature of bis faco In the cbutirlty anlch enveloped them It was tbo face of a laborer of a man of tha people accustomed to heavy and rude labor upon which was Imprinted a ferocious and resolute expression He on his

heard on the boards And then nothing more than the terrible and grave sllenco of art don of crime committed a silence which almost aeemed regretful The Aggressor armed with a knife had not yet struck hie victim be held blm under his knee he hesitated however to kill this inoffensive pnn who without fear bad met him in the darknesa on hla road whon suddenly but two feet away burst out the most frlfihttul bowlings a tempest of great sobs which seemed to try out for help end to call tbe eighteen leagues of forest to witness this terrible deed Holcpherna bad commenced to bray Upon bearing
