MARGUERITE AND LOUISE;

A TRUE AND PATHETIC STORY OF PARIS LIFE,

I am going to tell you a story which happens to be true. It was told me by one

off dear," she said, "Walt-wait till to- morrow, but cut it off whatever happens, I should like you to have a good meal. But keep a little bit of it, if-if I die." And Marguerite, closed her eyes and went to sleep.

The operation succeeded against all hope. Marguerite kept her hair, and Marguerite of the two women in it to explain her great got well, Loulse lives with her still. But love for the other, a love which is like that they will never be in such straits again, for of Jonathan for David.

the Marguerite of this story, which happens Marguerite was twenty and Louise was to be true, is Marguerite Audoux, the author twenty-three. Marguerite sometimes earned of "Mario Claire."

as much as half-a-crown a day dressmaking, m which she preferred, although her eyes were weak, to employment in a factory, where she earned less though she earned it more regularly. Louise earned eighteenpence a day, sometimes, by painting scrolls on cheap: ARAGONIA, German str., 3,228, C. Moyer, th fans. And the two girls were starving. I said girls Louise had a husband and two children. The husband had left her, the children were babies, and she wonders now how she managed to keep them. The babies were out in the country, and it occurred to Louise and to Marguerite that they two would be more comfortable together than if they starved apart. So they moved into one tiny room, and they slept by turns on the one fold-up bedstead.

But they lived, did Marguerite and Louise. il. For Louise was the laughter-maker of They were almost happy until Louise fell the two. She was Parisian born and bred. Marguerite had been in Paris only two years. Marguerite missed the wind-swept fields, the little rivulets, the little woods, the open spaces, and the fresh air of the country, and she missed them very silently. Louise knew nothing of the "country" beyond the Bois de Boulogne, the Bois de Vincennes, and the dirty little terraced garden of the Buttes Chaumont. But she talked and laughed all day long, and Marguerite sat silent.

AS PRETTY AS A DOLL She was a tiny little bit of a thing, as pretty, Louse says, as a doll out of a shop. She had plump little hands with dimples in them, capable little hands, though, which knew how to use a needle. She had a little round face, and when she was in trouble here forehead wrinkled into puckers like a baby's. But behind the puckered forehead and the big china-blue eyes, which were not strong enough to stand the strain of needle- work. Marguerite dreamed and thought. Louise had no time and less wish to dream. Her one wish was to make Marguerite smile. She sang at lier works, she chattered, and every now and again she looked nt Marguerite and thought to herself that sho had the most beautiful hair in the "work!,

So when Louise fell ill and went to hos- pital Marguerite became very miserable. But Louise underwent an operation and get well very quickly. She was just the cheer ful, good-tempered soul to get, well quickly. But before she was strong again, a week sleep on the mattress, and Marguerite get after she had left the hospital, she had to

the small bed every day. For Marguerite fell ill and Louise knew that Marguerite could only live if she were operated on. that, Marguerite wouldn't hear of being taken to the hospital. She had a horror of the hospital, she said, since she had been to see Louise there.

But, as Louise told her, stopping at home meant money for medicine, and perhaps a doctor; it meant money for food, and there was hardly enough for the rent when only one of them was working.
