This celebrated antiquarian's labors in the
buried cities Of the Orient, besides being of
great value to science, have produced the in
cidental though important result of arousing
a general and widespread interest in this
branch of historical work and study. His
latest discoveries are noted with almost as
much interest as are the fluctuations of the
market prices or the latest news from the
White House. Yet how immeasurably more
important to these readers should be the means

to and dropped anchor. In the bow OF one
was big white poodle that parked joyously
on seeing the solid ground once more.
Firman Bonard saw the dog, and fancied
that he recognized in him old Capucin, and
his eyes filled with tears.
Still the barge approached. Capucin-it
was Capucin, indeed-evidently recognized
the island, looked round eagerly, espied the
sentry, then standing on his hind legs, gave
one rapturous howl and, plunging into the
sea, swan with all his might shoreward.
An instant later and the boat was within
hailing distance.
''Who goes there?" shouted Firman Bon
ard in a voice of thunder.
''Who goes there yourself?' answered one
of Davousts staff from the leading boat.
"Who are you, anyhow"
'Firman Bonard, private of the sixty-eighth
on the line, on guard"
"On guard? How long have you been on
guard?''
"Since y o'clock on the night of May -,
1907
AT this reply they all burst out laughing.
The first boats PROV had not touched the
strand when Capucin had scrambled up the
steep rock, and with a tremendous pounce
cast himself into the arms of his old friend
Banks, gomboling somersaults, licking of
hands, face, fetal imaginable demonstra-
tions of canine joy.
$50 on, old fellow sobbed the soldier,
with tears rolling down his cheeks; "tear my
coat and muddy it as much as you want to
to-day, and 1 won't say anything I remem-
Der when | struck you for showing me all
your affection and intelligence"
When he had somewhat recovered from
his emotion Firman Bonard, followed by the
faithful dog went down to the beach to greet
his old comrades and tell his story. Lucki-
| ly the corporal, now an officer on Davousts
| staff, was there and could corroborate it.
| The regiment Toasted him royalty, and he in
| turn invited every one to the farm where he
| and his wife did the honors cordially.
| 1t was not long ere the news reached Mar
| shall Davoust's ears. He laughed heartily at
| Firman Bonard's stratagem, and having sat
| isfied himself that the soldiers antecedens
| were irreproachable, ordered his disch arge
| to be made out in due form.
Ear be it from me-" said the marshal,
''after he had been on watch for five years
| without being relieved to send this gallant
| fellow before a court martial"
| Firman Bonard remained on the farm. He
visited France that year and brought his
| father back to the Island of Rugen. His
| children and grandchildren to-day hold the
most important positions there, and their
| family is known as ''the family of the French
| sentry"
| When the French withdrew from the is
land, Capucin resigned his commission in
| the 6Sth of the line. He had had enough of
| glory, and the quiet of the life of abundance
and happiness that his friend led at the farm
| was more to his taste. He came to under
stand-wise dog!-that life on the farm
might be quite as pleasant as life in the
camp, and that there were infinitely fewer
! dangers in it.
| So Capucin remained on the farm.
