Unexpected From the French, for the ew York Sun. On the pleasantly shaded elope that encircles Ingonvllle and leads to the villa named Lea Ormes, Edward one of the passengers who had landed that morning from the trans-Atlantsteamer, was reading the folrelowing letter, which he had Just ceived : Veslvet, Aug. 6. My Dear Edward: Your aunt and I are anxious that we ahould be the flrst to welcome you home to our had great country of France. We alas! even decided to surprise you, but my rheumatism hud other designs. Your room is all ready and waiting for you here at Veslvet, where we have been staying for a month. Do of Chicago, hurry and come to tell ussuccess. You the exposition and jrour received a gold medal, so the papers told us. Naughty fellow; you left us to find it out! By the way, hurled though you are to take the train for Paris, you would do me a real pleasure If you would spend an hour or two in calling upon my old friend Bujard, who lives at Les Ormes in Ingonville. I have promised him for years to come and see him, and now if my nephew goes in my place he will be sure, at least, that I am thinking of him. They tell me he has a most charming daughDan-villle- rs, ic ter. The same old game," thought putting the letter in his pockIs the dear old man as keen on et. match making as ever?" He looked up Just then, to see an English pony carriage containing two persons drive by. One was an eldershoulders ly gentleman, with broad him sat a and white hair, and beside slender young girl, in decided contrast to the other's air of health and strength; she was scarcely to be called even pretty. Those two had the air of landed thought Edward, gating proprietors, after them. Perhaps it is M. Bujard himself. If so, the lady would be the Oh! uncle, uncle! charming girl Never mind, the walk will do me good, and if it was M. Bujard I can leave my card and the deed will be done. Edward Danvllllers was a splendid looking fellow of 25, with the broad, vigorous build of an athlete and the head and brow of a thinker and inventor. The villa was a beautiful house, surrounded by the tall trees which had given it its name. To the east lay a terrace, looking out upon the ocean, and on the land side, a doorway of wrought Iron gave access to the house. At the moment this door stood wide open. on the The young man paused threshold to ring the bell. From the end of the corridor a voice, fresh and delicately modulated, called to him: 1 Purdon me, but come right in! have some syrup boiling here and I v can't possibly leave It." adEdward a for second, Hesitating vanced to the end of the wide hall and entering a door found himself in a large kitchen whose polished pans and kettles glistened in the bright sunlight. Bending over the stove a young girl was superintending the boiling of a reddish liquid in a copper kettle. The polished gold of her hair was scarcely restrained by the ribbon at her neck, her blue eyes were clear and beautiful and the slight upward tilt of her nose gave a piquant touch to her lovely face. She was dressed In a dull blue gown, with a white apron about her waist. At the sight of the stranger the young girl drew hack in confusion. Excuse me, sir, she cried. Oh. for the love of mischief, the syrup is boiling over." In fact the goseberries or raspberries she was cooking were on the point of overflowing the kettle. The pretty cook, her hands and arms covered with thick gloves to the elbows, tried in vain to move the syrup away from he Are. She looked Imploringly at the young man Just as the latter, dashing forward, raised the handle of the caldron and moved it gently further back upon the stove. For a moment the two young people, speechless, gased at each other. Then they broke into a merry laugh. "It was surely my good genius who sent you to my aid, monsieur, cried the girl. I was counting on Marianne's strong arms to lift the kettle, but she hits not yet returned. Truly, I am very grateful to you." "I am only too glad that I could be of service to you, mademoiselle," replied Danvllllers, but allow me to Introduce myself, and he laid his curd on the table. I came to call upon 51.

He was the gentleman In the pony carriage with a lady, his daughter, I should Judge?" and he looked inquiringly at his companion. Yes. his daughter," the pretty cook replied, suppressing a mischievous smile. "They have gone to the city for an hour or two. May I ask you to await their return?" Many thanks, mademoiselle, but 1 leave this afternoon for Paris. Only I should be extremely obliged If you would give my regards to your to M. Bujard." "Say my master, for. such as I am. 1 am devoted to his service," interrupted the young girl, lnughlng. Then, with a gracious gesture, she opened a door leading out upon the veranda. Will you not rest for a moment T and, pushing forward a comfortable wicker basket chair, she disappeared quickly into the house. What a delightful creature!" murmured Edward, sinking down among the plllowa What grace and what ease! It is Impossible that she should be a mere servant. Still, devoted to his service' is what she said. Anyway, she is charming." He had reached this conclusion when the pretty girl reappeared.

Half an hour luter Edward Danvil-lier- a returned to Havre, this time singularly preoccupied. a I am afraid I have committed most tremendous break," he said to himself, if she is not what she appeared to be, a simple servant. She was certainly charming, but perhaps I made a mistake to do as I did." For, as he left, he had laid a shining gold piece upon the tray beside his empty glass. appliances, not one of which did he see. Instead, there rose a pair of blue eyes, a mass of tangled hair that glittered In the sunshine and a laughing, saucy mouth. Maid, nurse, whatever she is, I love her," he was saying to himself.
