One night, on the mother's return, Kristian Koppig coming to his room nearly at the same moment, there was much earnest conversation, which he could see, but not hear.

Kristian Koppig shut his window.

And even thou, Kristian Koppig!for the window closed very slowly.

On this peculiar Saturday afternoon in May, Kristian Koppig had been witness of the distressful scene over the way.

As she did so, the marvellous delicacy of Kristian Koppig moved him to draw in one of his shutters.

Then the black eyes disappeared within, and Kristian Koppig thought again, and re-opening his shutter, stood up at the window prepared to become a bold spectator of what might follow.

"He is staring at me," said Kristian Koppig to himself;"but then I am staring at him, which accounts for it.

"Ah!" thought Kristian Koppig; "I will go down and ask him"Here his thoughts lost outline; he was only convinced that he had somewhat to say to him, and turned to go down stairs.

The window above, too,it was Kristian Koppig who noticed that,opened a wee bit, like the shell of a terrapin; Presently the manager lifted his foot and put forward an arm, as though he would enter the gate by pushing, but as quick as gunpowder it clappedin his face!

"I will go over," thought Kristian Koppig, "and ask him kindly if he is not making a mistake.

Breathless, dirty, pale as whitewash, he gasped a threat to be heard from again, and, getting round the corner as quick as he could walk, left Kristian Koppig, standing motionless, the most astonished man in that street.

"Kristian Koppig, Kristian Koppig," said Greatheart to himself, slowly dragging up-stairs, "what a mischief you have done.

"Kristian Koppig, Kristian Koppig," said Greatheart to himself, slowly dragging up-stairs, "what a mischief you have done.

Kristian Koppig, you have been such a dunce!"

Kristian Koppig, why did you not mind your own business?

"Oh! sleepy Kristian Koppig," was the young man's first thought, "such a dunce!" Madame John and daughter did not go to mass.

And, hoping they will seeing what he is meaning, remains, respectfully, "KRISTIAN KOPPIG.

Kristian Koppig strayed off, repeating the words for want of definite thought.

Behold Kristian Koppig standing on the floor of the Salle de Condé.

Speak quick, Kristian Koppig; do not stop to notice the man!

"Madame John"bowing"I am your neighbor, Kristian Koppig.

Kristian Koppig's fist rolled him in the dirt.

Then Kristian Koppig knew that he was stabbed.

Through the long, enervating summer, the contest lasted; but when at last the cool airs of October came stealing in at the bedside like long-banished little children, Kristian Koppig rose upon his elbow and smiled them a welcome.

" "And they died!" said Kristian Koppig.
