tire on miserable pittance, which an
aged mother and siste: shared. He
had forgotten the Jew Of Wilma, when
one evening in the spring of 1916, man
called at his humble abode in the suburbs
OF Paris, and having satisfied himself as
to 'he identity, placed in his hands

Colonel found bills on banker in Paris

GRATITUDE.

In the advance Of the French army, in
the fatal campaign against Russia,
French Colonel, whilst stroling in the
suburbs of Wilma, heard cries Of distress
from a house, and entering to ascertain
the cause, he found four soldiers engaged
in plumber and in ill-treating an aged Jew
and young girl, who appeared the only
inhabitants. He instantly interfered, but
the marauders, not being inclined to re-
linquish their prey, proceeded to blows,
and the Colonel, who was an excellent
swordsman, laid two Of his assalants
dead on the spot, and drove the other two
from the house severely wounded; he
himself received some slight wounds, and
a ball grazed his cheek. The old Jew
and his daughter were profuse in their
thanks, and the Colonel, at their request,
made their house his headquarters dur
ing the period his regiment remained in
wilma. On the return Of the remnant Of
the French army, oppressed with fatigue,
want, and disease, the worn out soldier
in rags sought the dwelling OF the Jew,
and with difficulty was recognized, SO
completely changed was his appearance.
Every service that active benes olence and
gratitude could prompt was instantly ex-
erted; the Jew, his daughter and house
hold, wept over him, watched his bedside,
nursed him with the fondest care, and
when the Russians entered kept him con
cealed till be was perfectly recovered
The Jew then completely furnished his
wardrobe, and contrived to send him
through the hostile armies to France. At
the peace the Colonel was obliged to re-
