Pierre. "Our turn may come yet"
There is IL chance of escape, per-
haps," whispered Poupard, restlessly;
'they are all so sure, it might be easy
to surprise them one night. Where
are the others?"

"Lay your plans more cautiously,
messieurs," said voice beside them,
the voice of the Uhlan whose approach
they had noticed "we understand
French as well as you here"
CONSERVATION depicted itself on
?oupard's face. From that time
he lay silently on the straw, med
itating his plans in his own mind
and more convinced than ever that his
foes were in league with the powers of
darkness, since actions, movements
and language were alike known to
them. He wondered if his thoughts
ever escaped that secret espionage.
AS days passed on, however, the
wild plans of escape which he had
formed grew more apparently hope
less. Food was scanty, his wounds
and bruises tormented him more and
more. The way was long and the
weather terrible. Hardships and
privations weakened his frame and
dampened his ardor. He was sepa-
rated from his companions after those
rash overheard words, and in silence
and solitude he suffered now, till cour-
age forsook and misery crushed him.
IL shall die soon" he said TO him
self, and his words seemed as If they
were to be speedily verified.
He and Pierre Leroux were in the
hospital ward together small

born and delicately nurtured. fitted to

tering angels to the poor broken
hearted sufferers, who they tended
with untiring patience.
One morning one of the sisterhood
came quietly up to Pierre's side as he
lay weak and feverish on his narrow
bed. "Your friend died last night, "
she said, gently. "He babe me give
you this letter, with the request that
if ever opportunity offers you will give
it to his mother. He was from your
own part Of Normandy, believe"
Pierre took the letter from her hand
in silence, then turned his face TO the
wall and sighed.
Even he dies" he cried, in the
depth OF his desolate heart, "shall /,
to whom life is hateful, alone be
spared?"

Early IndiscretiOns.

ut is strange how a man is obliged
to pay for his early exposurers or indis-
cretions," said Senator Davis, OF
Minnesota, recently, while lying i'll in
Washington. when l was young I
was strong and vigorous. During the
war constantly exposed myself to all
sorts of weather and to numerous
fatigues. laughed at sickness, even
as possibility But I'll tell you that
within the last ten years I've been pay
ing up for it. My physician says that
all these twinges and almost unbear-
able aches and pains are the result OF
those exposures of more than a quar-
ter of a century ago."

waste OF treasure and blood which such
a conflict would i'.volve would be q
detriment TO all the South American
suites, and the cause seems the moro
unreasonable because it is the posses
sion of little less or little more of
unoccupied land. Brazil knows how
severely she suffered from the Para
guayan war; She has just recovered
from that shock to her finances She
d Dos not want war, put she teels con-
strained and in honor bound TO obey
her treaty stipulations with Paraguay;
and, however reluctantly, she will do
it if Paraguay and Bolivia cannot come
TO some settlement OF their respective
claims.
The fathers OF our republic, and
especially Washington and Jefferson,
warned our countrymen never to make
a treaty constituting an offensive or de-
fensive alliance with foreign country,
lest we might become involuutarily in
volved in u war. For by such treaties
we are no longer our own master, but
subject to the whims and caprices OF
another country. This advice was both
grand wisdom and true prescience; for
an adherence to it has saved us from
countless troubles. In 1917, when Mex
leo lay at our feet, it was suggested by
some of our statesmen that the United
States should establish protectorate
over Mexico. Wisely that was not
done. Had that protectorate been es-
tablished by treaty stipulations we
should have become involved in war
with both Austria and France when
their armies invaded Mexico In 1868.

The Most Valuable American Coin.

'There is something curious about
the American silver dollar and half
lar of 1904" said a numismatist. There
were about 20, COZ of the dollars coined
but not one of them ever got into cir.
culation. Two of them are in we'll
known coin collection today, however,
and they are the most valuable OF all
American coins. Why the dollar oil
1904 was never seen in circulation after
leaving the mint is one Of the unsclyed
Government mysteries. 1t is asserted
as good authority that the two 1904 dol
lars now in existence, while having
been made from the original die. were
in reality not coined for many years al
ter that year, when they were surrepu-
tiously struck, and, it is supposed, Is
sued to person in high authority, from
whom they subsequently passed into the
collection referred to. The half doliar
of 1904 is surrounded by mystery
equally prof ound. There were l5o'oOO
of these coined, but not one was ever
known to be in circulation. On inc
other hand, but 1000 quarter dollars
were coined in that year and specimens
of these are in every collection and n0'

These hats are knit very closely from
the finest Panama straw, and the knit
ting of them is very tedious. They can
be knit only in the cool of the day, as
the he ut of the sun causes the straw to
draw loose from their holds. 1t some-

to knit the most valuable ones, which
cost all the way from $50 to s125.-At.
