About ten o'clock, the Prussians
were evidently worsted. Their fanling

resumed the offensive. Our mitraiQeuses

A Broken Tale.

The following extract is a portion of a
thrilling story Of love, revenge, benzine
and dry bones that the local editor re-
ceived yesterday from talented young
writer, whose star is in the ascendant,
and beginning to twinkle above the hills
of Red Hot. Our usual custom hereto
fore has been to publish original tales at
our regular advertising rates of so much
per line, and as we are determined not
to deviate from this rule, we only print
as much of the story as four dollars and
forty cents enclosed by the fairauthoress

The late September twilight was loath
to leave the family starred, dim blue
Heaven. Waits of fragrance AOated
down over the town of Titusville from
the sweet scented acid works of the hill
brewery, midst the golden jungles Of sun
sauerkraut in the raw. Low above the
ragged line of forest that fringed Kerrs
Hill hung the young silver crescent.
Two lovers stood at the garden gate.
The woman fresh and fair as that Of
the Sistine Madonna, and from the same
cause-paint, laid on by master hand.
You can Gf not near sighted) see dis
tinctly the lustrous richness Of her hazel
eyes as the soft light of the new moon
falls aslant her aquline nose. The man
is handsome, too tall and symetrical as
a telegraph pole, well shaped, and
muscular as the sheet iron statue Of Will
liam Shakespere or Parshall Opera
House, aud with face Of graceful con-
tour, slightly oval, like that of hub
bard squash. II is Elise De FergusOn's
voice that breaks the stiffness Of the
glooming,
"And SO Paul, you have signed the
contract not to drill any more wells for
thirty daysS"
"Yesl Yesl of course, l have" he
as he takes her hand in his
while murmuring his words, and at the
same time removing a chew Of fine cut,
which he slyly hides ON the gate post,
and stoops to kiss her white forehead

"But what are you going 10 do for
livingl" said the unsuspecting maiden.
Elsie did not see the sinister smile
that fitted across Pauls faes as he heard
the question, nor did she catch the nut
tered words, "three queens beats one
