The location is excellent, the table uue1-
ceptiOnabie, and the people charming. But
those who come for a short time cannot
now expect such good luck. By the time
this is in print the city will be so full that it
will have TO be taken to the station house.
Speaking Of hours for returning to ones
lodgings, 7 know that I hurt myself at the
hotel where first stopped by getting in
the first evening at 1890 o'clock. The con-
cierge was a viOiet-eyed French girl. She
gave me the key and the One-franc candle
with which intensified the gloom of my
d width boys size room. She looked at me
reprOachfully. She was panied to see a
man with such noble mien and such q
scope of brow go to bed at 1890 at night.
She mentioned it in pure English to me
and I could see that [ had lost a good
friend I could only promise her that it
should not occur again. 1 did so, and now
whenever am tempted to retire early I
can see those blue reprOachful eyes again,
and my solemn promise made to that sim
pie gentle girl while the hot candle grease
ran down over my arm comes back to me-
and I smother the wish and scOrn the
temptation.
will now pause in my literary career to
90 and get shaved again. What like about
the French barber is this: if you do not
like his lather you can spit it out,

beautiful Algerian girls who dance the

ferred to above are natives Of Paris and

came nearer, Blanche recognized among
them the young officer VINO had visited
her during the afternoon.
Without hesitation she crossed the ter
race and descended the fight of stone
steps IN front of the chateau. Hubert,
the picture Of misery, followed closely
behind her. She then crossed the flower
garden and met the officer as he emerged
from the plantations.
at is all over, mademoiselle!" he
cried, smiling. We nave beaten them "
Was it a battle, monsieur" asked
Blanche in her simplicity.
Nay, mademOiselle, only a little Skin
mish. MademOiselle, where are you go
ing?" cried the young officer.
Il wish to see for myself, monsieur,
answered Blanche, nervOusiy. The Doc
tor is there, is he not?"
"Yes, mademoiselle; bat, if you viii
pardon me, you had better retire into the
house. It is no sight for such as you.
But look! they are carrying him this way.
He pointed as he spoke, and Blanche
saw the men approaching, headed by Dr.
Huet, and carrying in their midst what
looked like a rude litter. They came on.
rapidly; and as they did so she advanced
to meet them.
My dear madsmOiselle!" cried the Doc
tor, as they came face to face, what are
you doing here? Pray take my advice and
60 to the chateau.
So saying, he cOntriYed to interpOse his
person between Blanche and those who
followed him.
But, Doctor, have heard, Blanche
cried, some one is wounded-dying!"
Only one of the enemy, answered the
Doctor, dryly. Il have bound up his
wound as well as possible.
Where are you taking him?"
ITO one of your Out-hOuses. 1t is
freezing hard, and we could not let him
die on the cold ground"
%The accursed Germanl" muttered HUI
bert, from close by. Why don't they
knock him on the head?"
Scarcely knowing what she did, and
paying no heed to the Doctors interpOsi-
ton, Blanche pushed quickly by him,
and approaching the group of soldiers,
saw in their midst several country fellows
in blouses carrying the prisoner. He lay
upon rude litter or stretcher, hurriedly
constructed out of portion of a wooden
fence. AS she drew near they placed him
on the grass and drew aside.
The man lay upon his back, his eyes
half closed, his mouth partly open, his
face stained and disfigured with mingled
mud and blood. One hand hung over the
litter, the other was placed upon his
shoulder, pressing the discOlOred bandage
which had Just been placed upon his
wound. His figure was tall and power
full, clad in the uniform of the Uhlan
cavalry; his hair and beard were chestnut
| brown; his features, though pale as mar
bic and distgured with pain, beautifully
formed.
Trembling and half-fainting, Blanche
bent over him. As she did so, she recog-
nized him in a moment.
He was the German officer who had
spoken to her SO gently few nights be-
fore.

A Samoan Maids Romance.

In the book of Mrs LauIii Willis,
the Samoan woman whose husband,
contractor, left Alameda several days
ago and has since been missing, occurs
the following quaint story of how she
fell in love with her husband:
"The first thing I saw when we went
alongside the ship was a white man
with a bald head That looked very
funny to me, as I had never seen a
bald-headed man before. He was real
fat and nice-looking, but he did not
have any hair on his head, and I got
my brother, who could talk English, to
ask him, Just as we got aboard, where
was all the hair that belonged on his
head And the white man told him
that he lived in California, and they
did not have any cold weather there,
but had what they called "a glorious
climate and the climate had taken
all the hair off his head. We got very
well acquainted, and I liked him, be
cause when another white man kept
talking to me this one with the bald
head quarreled with him and knocked
him down so he should not bother me. 2
