Perhaps not" said Mrs. Hart as she
began to put on her bonnet and cloak.
She was, perhaps, the poorest person Of
refinement and education in the town
and tho most benevolent. She was o
widow, whose only dover were a boy of
l2 and q girl of 0 years. BY sewing al
most night and day she managed to keep
tho wolf out OF sight.
Accompanied by Robby she went over
to Hunts to see the hermit, and at once
knew that nc was sick unto death. Al
the sled which was to transport him to
Johnstown drew up ut the door Mrs.
Hart touched the arm OF Judge RUSSELL
who seemed 10 be clothed with more
authority just then than any of the other
prominent citizens" who lowered about,
and said:
az will take care Of Weaver II you win
send him to my house. He Is a very sick
man, already greatly exhausted by his
journey down The mountain The drive
to Johnstown might kill him" EM
Really, Mrs. Hart, you're always do
ing too much for others. Young DIR.
Clay was In hero n bit ago, and he said
the old fellow oughtn't to be moved so
far. But you'd better think twice before
you take him. He'll be an awful
charge
81 know that" she answered.; "but /
will take him and do, the best ! can for
him." So the hermit was put upon the
sled and delivered Mt Mr.. Harris like a
bale Of merchandise. The widows I'M
sel1shness kindled temporary flame OF
tho same nature in other breasts, and for
the moment volunteer help was plenty.
She took advantage Of some Of this to get
her patient bathed and barbercd and put
to bed in comfortable, Christian way.
Then began for her weeks OF care,
work and anxiety. The sewing machine
was silent. with the unpleasant conse-
quence of low finances. Contributions to
the comfort of the sick man fell away as
time passed and the affair became an
old story. Young DR.. Clay alone re-
NAMED faithful. The donations of others
had dwindled down to advice. All i'm all
Mrs. Hart had "a hard pull Of It."
At last the hermit became GONZALES
cent. Finding himself In a home where
refinement and kindness prevailed, he
fell into the ways OF its inmates rs nat
urally as II no had been accustomed to
civilization all his life. He talked geni-
ally and charningly, and seemed pos
man OF the world. CIad in his right
mind and conventional clothes, he lost
his character of hermit entirely. Many
Of the signs Of age, too. had disappeared
under the good Offices Of tho tailor and
tho barber. He did not look day over 45.
He was quite we'll now, but he showed
no disposition to return to his serni-sav-
age life, so far as any one outside Of Mrs.
Harris homo knew.
Christmas was almost at hand. Hills.

a New French EiilC.

The armin% Of the French infantry
with the Lcbcl riilo il now going on
rapidly. St. Eticnnc and Tul!c arc the
chief c"ntCrS Of tho manufacture, and
the government works at the former
place have Of late been nearly doubled in
size. For some weeks past the weapons
have been finished and delivered at th"
rate of 800 Il day. and 90, 600 are alrcad
in the hands of tho troops.
The anxiety of the French gOvcrnmcr,
TO keep secret tho details of the invention
is still extraordinary. Soldiers are not
allowed to touch their rifles save in tho
presence of commissioned officer, and
the cartridges that arc from time to time
served out are counted, receipts are given
for them, and those which are not cX-
pended have to be inspected every three
hours during the period that clapscs be-
fore they can be returned into store. 1t
is said that the regulations have been so
strictly enforced that not private in tie

Senator Turpir, Of Indiana, voted
with German. Morrison, therefore,
served notice upo" the lndianians
that if Turpic persisted in that
course Gray would not get the

five waited on Turpic and notified
him to appear before the Indiana
delegation in the morning to show
