A FRENCH WILL STORY. ** Is she dead, then?’ *: Yes, madam,”’ replied a little gentleman in brown coat and short breeches. “* And her will?” “Is going to be opened here immediately hy her solicitor.” “Shall we inherit anything!” “It must he supposed so; we have elaims.”* “Who is that miserably-dressed personage herself here?” “Oh. she,”’ said the little man, sneering. “she won't have much in the will; she is sister to the deceased.”* that Anne who wedded in 18120 man officer.” “She must have no small amount of impu- dence to present herself here, before a respect- able family.” *: The more so as Sister Egerie, of noble birth, had never forgiven her that mesa//iance Anne moved at this time across the room in which the family of the deceased were assem- Wed. She was pale; her fine eyes were filled with tears, und her face was furrowed by eare Neral on wrinkles. ~ What do you come here for?”’ said, with great haughtiness, Madame de Villeboys, the lady who, a moment before, had Scen interro- grdng the little man who inherited with her. *» Madame,”’ the poor lady replied, with hu- mility, I do not come here to claim a part of what does not belong to me; I come solely to sve M. Dubois, my poor sister's solicitor, to in- quire if she spoke of me at her last hour.”’ “What! do you think people busy them- selves about you ’”’ arrogantly observed Mad- ame de Villeboys; - the disgrace of a great house—you. who wedded a man of nothing, a soldier of Bonaparte’s'’ ‘Madam. wy husband, although a child of the people, was a brave soldier, and, what is better, an honest man,’ observed Anne. At this moment a venerable personage, the notary Dubois, made his appearance. “* Cease,” he said, «to reproach Anne with aunion which her sister has forgiven her Anne loved a generous. brave. and good man who had no other crime to reproach himself witk than bis poverty and the obscurity of his name. Nevertheless, had he lived, if his fam- ily had known him as | knew him, I, his old friend, Anne would be at this time happy and respected.” *: But why is this woman here ?’ ‘Because it is her place to be here.”’ said the notary, gravely ; ‘I myself requested her to attend here.’ M. Dubois then proceeded to open the will “<I, being sound in mind and heart, Egerie de Damfreming, retired as a boarder in the convent of the Sisters of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, dictate the following wishes as the ex- Pression of my formal desire and principal clause of my testament. ~‘ After my decease there will be found two hundred thousand franes in money at my no- tary’s, besides jewelry, clothes, and furniture, also a chateau worth two hundred thousand franes. ~ In the convent where I have been residing there will only be found my book, ‘“ Heures de ta Vierge,” holy volume, which remains as it was when I took it with me at the time of the emigration. I desire that these three objects be divided into three lots. «The first lot, the two hundred thousand francs in money. ‘The second lot, the chatue, furniture, and jewels. = The third lot, my book, “ Heures de In ““L have pardoned my sister Anne the grief which she has caused to us, and I would have comforted her in her sorrows if I had known sooner of her return to France. {[ comprise ber in my will “Madame de Villeboyz, my much beloved cousin, shall have the first choice. “M.

Could you not leave her this lot, and take the book of prayers. which the eccentricity of the de- ceased has placed on a par with the other lots.” You must be joking. M.

A month afterward they met Anne and her son, exeeedingly well yet not extravne ginily dressed, taking an airing in a two-horse chariot. This led them to make inggiries, aud they ascertained that Madume Anne had re- cently purchased a hotel for one hundred and righty thousand franes, and that she was giy- e education to her son.
