"Can you speak Englishi" the tired
traveller asked.
The mulatto shook his head, and then,
showing Allen bath, made him understand

tired editor found good bath quite re-
freshing, and when he had dressed, don

brought him, he felt almost himself again.
The mulatto then conducted him 10 the din

house. Two colored walters, who spoke
nothing but French, brought him an ex-
cellent repast, towhich he did ample justice.
When no had satisfied his appetite
the same mulatto boy conducted him TO a
bedroom, where he was made 10 understand
that he was 10 sleep and rest himself for
awhile. He now remembered the sealed
letter which the old woman had given him
10 bring 10 tho mademoiselle, and taking II

boy.

CHAPTER XIV.
an II Won pnCn

Allen was informed by signs that he was
TO remain at Mile. Camiles house for a few
hours, he supposed until he and his horse
had had time to rest. A negro boy took
the horse round the house to the stable, and
the hostess, in polite French, which was
Greek TO him, invited the tired traveller into
the house. The good lady, evidently some
maiden relative of the little dumb boy, was
in ecstacies at the arrival Of the child, but
not more delighted than the little fellow
himself His laughter, clapping his hands
and dumb show indicated excessive pleas
ure.
Aliens arrival seemed TO have been ex-
pected by Mile. Camille and her servants.
II seemed to HIM that she was standing In
the door waiting for them. The mademoi-
selle was pleasantlooking old lady, with
large dark eyes and soft, iron-gray hair.
She did not possess single feature that In
dicated distinct family resemblance to
either Bertha or the child. Yet those tears
and those emotions of joy at sight Of the
little dumb boy was proof positive that he
was very dear to her.
"He is IN good hands and will be vol
cared for" thought the editor, his heart re-
lieved by an approving conscience.
He was ushered into the house by mu-
latto boy, and conducted TO the end Of along

And the dairy, cool, with its tins and Jars,

And through the window see the light

And catch, in fancy, the faint perfume

And under dusty, twilight sky,

OF the desolate whippoorwill.

CHAPTER XIV,
THE MAN WITH THE HoRsE.wHP.


Wholly unprepared for the sudden attack,
Allen Gray was quick To think and equally
as quick TO act. His movements had TO be
with lightning-like rapioity 10 seize tho
wrist OF the descending hand which held the
murderous dagger, but once he had the
arm he clung TO IL with an iron grasp.
Next, with his hand that was free, he seized
the hand Of the would-be assassin, which
was clutching at his throat until he was al
most suffocated, and tore II loose. The
assailant had one knee on the chest Of the
man he had hurled TO the earth, but not
knowing how strong he really was, the
young fellow actually sprang from under
him, and In moment was on his knees.
He clung with wonderful tenacity 70 the
hand which still held the dagger, for he
knew that II was certain death 10 release
his hold.
The struggle was silent anddesperate, fol-
both wero strong, determined men. While
Aliens opponent was taller and heavier
than himself, the latter had an advantage
In activity and skill in wrestling and box
ing. From their knees the struggling mcr
rose 10 their feet
The dagger fell to the ground and neither

and soon brought the tugitives to the nearer
route, where he received his promised re-
ward.
"Jist go right ahead y said the boy, "thar
hain't no other route 10 take We off1
"Where are you going" asked Allen.
"East.n
"At oncel"
ayes, zur.n
"You are in hurry, are youf
aye bet we l am. or I'd take We right
plum to Frenchtown myself"
IF there is no road to lead us off we can
make Il without any more trouble now. Go
on, and good luck to you," said Allen,
watching the boy until tho thin. sorrel mare
had galloped out of sight. III am glad he is
not going back, for he might meet those
men and put them on eur trail"
The fugitive held the child close in his
arms and put his horse into run. The
gallant steed almost few along the wooded
road. On, on he sped like the wind. A
high bridge which spanned narrow, deep
stream burst into view. The gallant steed
thundered over the bridge and ascended the
tall hill beyond.
Frenchtown was near; this journey would
soon be ended, but where was he to conceal
himself from those wrathful pursuers when
It was ended! He had a very complete de-
scription of Mile. Camille's cottage, and
thought he could find it without trouble, but
would 1t afford either himself or the child
shelter from their pursuers when foundf
When the top of the great hill had been
reached the village appeared in sight The
boy, recognizing the landscape, clapped his
hands with delight, as the tall church spire
was seen above the trees.
When they had reached the top Of another
hill they saw tho village lying below them.
Not wishing to attract any attention Allen
reigned in their horse and rode quietly
down into the town.
Utterng gutteral cries CT delight, the
dumb boy pointed toward uncovered
cottage which Allen at once recognized by
the description to be the house OF Mile
| Camille. He rode quickly to it. A negro
man opened the gate and motioned him to
enter.
Entering tho gate he found himself in q
sort of court surrounded by wall ten feet
high. The place looked not q little like O
fertilization. A woman about forty years OF
age came out from the house, and taking
the little dumb boy who had been lifted to
the ground in her arms almost smothered
him with kisses.
Allen had hoped that he would meet some
one at this end of the journey who was able
and willing to enlighten him on the perplex'
inc mystery; but he was soon doomed to dis
appointment, for there was not one Of the
household able TO speak English.

Astonishing Appetite Displayed by tho
French Soldier Tararo.
In the "Dictionaire des Sciences Medi-
cales,n Dr. Percy tells Of soldier named
Tarare This man was born near Lyons
and came up to Paris, where his first ex-
plot was to eat q basket Of apples at a
friends expense. On various occasions he
swallowed a series Of corks and other
indigestible materials which produced such
violent collie that he was obliged 10 attend
the Hotel Dieu, and while being examined
almost managed TO swallow the watch
chain and seals Of the surgeon in attend
ance, NJ. Giraud On the occasion Of ono
Of these attacks of collie 1t was tried
to frightcn him out OF his gross habits
by declaring that II would be necessary
to open his stomach, and the doctor
proceeded TO arrange his instruments
accordingly. Tarare, however, found an
opportunity to run away, and relieved him
self by taking copious droughts Of warm
water Soon after he found that his ap-
petite had really increased TO an excessive
amount, probaSly owing to the irritation
produced by these absurd tricks. At seven
teen years Of age, when only weighing one
hundred pounds, he could eat twenty-four
pounds OF beef In rs many hours. He now
entered the army, and, being recognized by
the Surgeon. Major, NJ. Codrville, Of the
Ninth Regiment OF Hussars, was detained
for the sake Of cui iosity. From the day, Of
hisadnission he was ordered quadruple
rations, with pickings end waste meat, but
often slipped into the dispensary and laid
hands on any thing eatable: One day he
was observed 10 seize large cat, and,
after sucking his blood, left in very short
time only cleanly picked bones, the
hair being rejected in the course
Of half an hour like that OF other carnivora-
He was fond Of serpents and eels, swallow

consumed In few minutes repast spread
out for fifteen German work-people OF milk
etc, after which he was blown out like Q

he swallowed at one sitting thirty pounds
| Of liver and lights. His Unsuitable appetite

of trimming is nominal. We find it not only
