Reel d'Espagne
Nice lively tune for dancing. I transposed it in D but the original sounds like E and can be heard here as recorded by Isidore Soucy in 1928:

Note the double strings in the B part, which sounds a bit like american bluegrass.
It's another one of those tunes with half bars. To return to the A part from B you play the d/e/ notes of the pickup.
My father used to play a version of this tune on his melodeon when I was a small kid.
