L'ENYOI.

Leon Monprat had for once performed courageous action. At imminent risk he had sought and secured admission to the pres- ence of the victorious and returning sove- reign, and with utter forgetfulness of self poured out to him the history of his daugh- ter and her husband.
 stern lover of justice and equity himself, the Prussian monarch heard him with deep attention, and moved by the story of the mans patient heroism and the girls long martyrdom, he sent an order for the delay of the sentence, until he himself had inquired into its details. That order would have come too late save for the fact of Ninette's desper- ate sacrifice and Bohmer's artful stratagem. Determined to give his unfortunate friend a last chance of escaping his fate, and with some mad superstitious idea that Heaven must intervene ere sentence so unjust could be carried out, he had, unknown to all , drawn the bullets from the muskets of those soldiers appointed to carry out the sentence. and when the reprieve came Leroux was saved, and Ninette had only tainted from the shock of the fearful ordeal she had under gone. Angry as the commandant was, he could say nothing in the face of that pow erful mandate, and wien Von Brand- stein heard of all that had occurred, and knew what the inquiry that would follow might mean for himself, he sent in his resig- nation and left Berlin with all ossible speed.
 The fate of Peirre Leroux was soon decided. What tho king might not havo yielded to any persuasion, he yielded to the lovely face and pitiful entreaties of the girl wife who had suffered so deeply and so long. With the conclusion of the war he gave them permis- sion to return to their own country and their own home, not even allowing of a ransom.
 Reunited, happy, safe, the long tried bus . band and wife once more found themselves in their own fair homo, with the freedom and the peace, and the sweet delicious sense of liberty and love alone filling their hearts Like an exile restored to his birthright so Pierre Leroux feasted his eyes on the waving golden fields, the glad green dewy earth, that had never seemed so full of peace and beauty as it seemed now. Then his eyes rested on the fair face beside him-on the deep lustrous eyes from whence all shadow of suffering had de- parted, leaving only love!
 l Sweet as the light of day looked the future before them, all the sweeter for pain long | endurcd-for sorrows weary martyrdom.
 "Nothing shall part us again, dear love, he murmurod tenderly; 'nothin4, need have done so had I but trusted you moro. Now we have endured so much, it seems as if our very | joy had been snatched from the jaws of the grave"
 "Does not that make it doubIy preciousY she asked, ciinging yet more closely to the | arm she held.
 And she was right; for there is no love like that wal"h r.ses victorious over doub and pa l., !id in the cruelty of despair, lives on and ou, unconquered and undismayed, tc find it's paradise of joy even amidst the shad oVS of death

''Take heart" he said kindly, in his rough German accents, "it is better that he die thus than that he lives on to boar the life ho has led here."
 She raised her head and looked at him. So might the dying look, he thought, with that unearthly horror in their glazed eyes, that muto despair upon their silent lips.
 In tho stiffness came the sound of march ing feet, the rattle of musketry, the long solemn roll of drum. That sound awoke her from her trance. She sprung to her feet and gazed wildly round. Tho soldier had turned to the window to watch the process sion. She looked over his shoulder, and the sight froze her blood to ice, and held her limbs nerveless and powerless in tho horror and remorse that consumed all other feel ings.
 She saw tho man she loved as he walked slowly steadily by. A priest by his side, murmuring the service of the church-his executioners beside and around him. In the open square they paused, turned, halted. Her eyes saw every movement-her ears caught very sound. She saw them bind his eyes. She saw the golden sunlight pour down its rays on his bare head-his erect and tranquil form. She saw the leveled muskets awaiting the signal. while over all that mockery of justice, that tragedy of revenge, shone the rosy warmth of the glad new day.
 "Wait-oh wait?"
 The cry burst from her lips! With the next instant she was on the spot-her arms around his neck-her head on his breast whie through tho air a crash of sound thrilled and thundered. and a rolling column of heavy smoke hid them both from sight. As the crashing echoes died away, there came a command, loud, stern, and ominous.
 ''Wait-in the Kings nameW An orderly, with breathless haste and armed with a mis- sive, whose purport none could doubt, stood before them.
 "The prisoner is to await His Majesty's investigation into this matter. Am I in time?"
 The commandant approached, pale and troubled. "I regret you are too late," he said "the sentence has just been executed"
 He pointed to where the smoSc-waves still hung in heavy, misty folds; but even as he pointed a great cry rent tho air, for there be- fore them stood the man erect, and un- harmed, and clasped in his arms was Il woman's slender form. In that moment all discipline was forgotten. This silent, rigid, phalanX threw aside their muskcts and rushed to that spot where, with an agony and dread beyond all he had yet known, | Pierre Leroux bent over that lifeless, silent 1 figure.
 You have killed her p he cried in his wild and terrible grief "My love, my life, my | own! What my life worth that you | should seek to preserve it at such cost?" Hush p said a voice in his ear; eff she be | indeed dead, it is not from ball or powder of l ours. The bullets were drawn!'

there any doubt in your mind but that
every available lot will be picked up?

second time last night, and, consider

Phoebe Davies was delightfully."-
earnest in the role of the impetuous,
warm-hearted girl, Diana Dorsie, and
Joseph r. Grismer, as the nonchalant

The "Danube"-"AIliancen Investigation

PORTLAND, May This morning
Mrs. Catharine Scott, of the Gilman
house presented petition to the

why he should not give her monthly
allowance of $3.50, and an additional
sum with which to pay man to look
after her one half interest in the Gil

G. W. McIsaac, accused Of forgery
by Waddell, McCully & Co., did not
have an examination to-day, as per
appointment, but will be heard before
justice Tuttle tomorrow morning at
930 o'clock; so far McIsaac has been
unable to furnish bonds, all his
former friends seeming to have for
saken him.
1t is settled fact that Judge Catlin
will not appoint Gen. Rufus Ingalls,,
guardian of Linda and Ben Holladay.
notwithstanding it was the expressed
wish of their parents, and it is now
the hearty desire of the children that
he should act in that capacity. A de-
clsion was to have been rendered to-
day, but judge Catlin postponed action
in the matter.
Tom Ward the pugilist seems to
be out of his element when not en-
gagged in a row of one kind or another.
This morning warrant was issued
for his arrest for threatening to kill
Edward Haight, an International
hotel runner.
Ferguson and McDermott, local in
spectors, have returned from The
Dalles and began to-day an official in
vestigation of the recent collision be-
tween the Canadian Pacific steamer,
Danube and the steamer Alliance.
The intention of the inspectors is to
see just where the blame properly lies
and then nail it fast.
The Alliance is to be raised at once
and put in order.
This afternoon at a few minutes
after one o'clock an accident occurred
at the new Grace M. E. church, at the
corner of Tenth and Taylor streets, in
which Derrick Demars was very badly,
if not fatally injured. Demars is a
carpenter, and at the time of the acci-
dent was standing on scafold on the
big tower, fully sixty feet from the
ground, when in some way he lost his
balance and fell to the bottom. He
was taken at once to his residence, Ga
Jefferson street, over Eresser's grocery
store, and a surgeon summoned
promptly. His injuries were found
to be principally about the hips and it
is feared that he is badly hurt intern
ally. He is in intense agony, but re-
tanned his senses all the afternoon.
