"Your news is good" said George.
" You looked coolly for the body of your
lover"
"I do not understand you" she said.
" You are as rude to me as | used to be

all. My nerve is good, because after the

all. Look round ut these poor innocent
young men, lying so quiet in the pres

There are terrible moments in each

bear repeating. What either of these two
people would ever have said to one anoth-
er can never be known now,
They stood looking at one another.
Their interview had been short, but they
had found out something in it; they
found that they cared for one another.
Still, the man had cast away his life on
the altar of avarice, and the woman,
as woman will, had dedicated hers to
religion.
Together, mutually helping one an
other what might they be yet? What
might their children be yet? They stood
face to face, close to one another know
ing that it was their last interview The
laws of honor and of the world would
take him from her; the laws of religion
would take her from him. Around were
the happy dead, with the feet turned up
to the sky.
A loud sound of talking disturbed
them. They retired into themselves.
The Bengal officer came up and said !:
One of these denominations of percus-
sion shells Is lying here unexploded.
Come up, Dickson, and look at it,"
She took his arm and went with him.
One gentle pressure told him the truth.
She loved him still
Delaval, the Pole, had the shell in his
hand. 1t was about nine inches long, and
pointed. The German laboratory is not
so good as the English; we are more
| clever in details. A comparatively large
number of the German shells never burst
when fired at a low trajectory. A hus-
bandman while blowing on the heights
above Paris, long after the siege, was
| killed, with both his horses, by turning
up one of them. Near where they stood
were four young men lying with theiI
heads together by the explosion of one OF
them, and, in all probability, five others
lying close by, were killed bv the same
shell. We only wish our readers to un
derstand that these shells are terribly
dangerous things, and that their time oil
explosion is by no means so ascertainablC
as could always be wished.
Delaval had the shell in his hand. A!
they advanced he was discoursing abou
it and holding it aloft. THE percussion
fuse in this one is gone wrong" hC
said. "See, will throw it down among
US, and you shall see that it will not eX
plode."
Before anyone could stop the madmar
he had done it. There was great blu,
flame and sound totally different from
the report of cannon. \ shattering

There was a burying party neal
across the road, composed mainly of tn
citizens of the town, who seemed to pre-
fer this dreadful occupation to watch

They carried them into Givonne, an

The English doctor attended to Georg,
and he tried to sleep; but the man on tn
left of him was restless, and, in trying t
soothe him, he found that it was DELAY;
groaning heavily.
