were quite unfamiliar to her. She had
run forth without any definite object III
view, though a vaguely outlined thought
of finding Louis Doucet among the as.
sailing soldiers was certainly uppermost
in her mind. The dona followed her,
but SO swiftly did she fly she was soon
out of sight.
ooh, my poor, poor child" walled the
old woman, stopping all out of breath
and wringing her hands.
While she stood there Capt. Cortes,
leading small body of men, approached
her. The intrepid Young officer, seeing
that his vessel must fall into the enemy's
hands, had hurried his crew into the
small boats and brought them ashore
with view to taking possession Of a
small block house in the upper part Of
the town.
"You here" he exclaimed with the
bluntness and sternness of authority.
"And where is Mile. Pauline?'
"She is gone-I do not know where
she ran away OH Ohi' moaned the
trembling and weeping woman,
Gomez he echoed. "Gonel which
way? Where? Tell me--be quiekr'
Dona Hortense simply lifted her hands
and closed them over her ears, as if to
shut out the dreadful sounds of the fight
ing. The earth seemed to rock and pal
plate; the air was sulphurous with the
drifting films of powder smoke.
"Yonder is the young lady, " exclaimed
one of the men, pointing with his cutlass.
Pauline was standing in the middle of
the little street apparently bewildered.
Her head was bare and her long bright
hair was floating on the wind. She was
an. apparition to make a man forget battle
and danger and death. Cortes ran to her
and laid his hand on her arm.
ssMademoiselle," he said, very firmly,
but with infinite tenderness, sscome with
me-
Then he turned TO his men and bidding
them follow, he started toward the block
house.
Suddenly he thought Of the dona. De-
lay was full of danger at the moment,
but he halted again and sent man to
bring the old woman, who still stood
weeping where he had left her.
AS the little company resumed its
march toward the block house, great
increase of the din was observable up at
the fort and at the same time body of
men came charging down the street that
ran from the. hill to the beach Of the bay.
This was small detachment of French
soldiers, headed by a tall young officer,
who swung his sword around his head
and encouraged his followers by the most
vivacious example and spirit.
Cortes saw that it was too late toreach
the block house. He quickly put the
women in the rear and formed his men.
Pauline's eyes had seen and recognized
the young French leader

struggle, hand to hand combat with
sword and musket butt.

Two POINTS SETTLED.

Replies received by the Burlington Free
Press to the question, addressed to each
of the members of the legislature: DO
you favor the repeal of the Vermont pro-
hihitorv law confirm the opinion we
expressed the week of the election,
namely, that the probibitory law is not
in danger. OF these replies from mem
berS of the House, about ten per cent are
from Republicans and about 10 per cent
from Democrats who favor repeal, while
about G3 per cent are from Republicans
who emphatically do not favor repeal.
In the Senate over 50 per cent are for the
law substantially as it stands.
Another thing is made clear by the re-
port of Auditor Powell He shows that
the net revenue from the prOhibtory
law, that is, the excess of costs and fines
paid in over bills of costs in liquor cases
was almost $4,000 the past year. over

NEARING The END.

The close of the session of Congress is
near at hand. Prominent members of
both houses have informed the President
tlat .he tariff bill would be disposed OF
this week and that the remaining bust
ness could be attended to by October ].
1t has been a remarkable session "A many
respects, and the history of it will make
interesting reading. The most impor-
tant measure considered is, of course, the
Mckinley tariff bill, for that is likely to
be the law for many years to come.
Hence it has received careful considera-
ton from those who are responsible for
1.-THE Republicans. They doubtless re-
gard a Republican majority in the next
House as at least problematic. If the
Democrats are in the majority. it will not
be possible to pass bill like that Just
enacted but with a Republican majority
in the Senate, the Democrats will not be
able to destroy the law; so that the law
as left by this Congress will stand for
some time.

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 2G, 1890.
A DESIRABLE CHANGE.

1t has been decided to call special
session of the grand jury at the Decem-
that the cases of the numerous criminals
now in custody may be disposed of. The
desirability of having the grand jury
meet regularly in December instead of
June is so apparent that the effort which
it is understood will be made to effect
such change ought to succeed. The
jury is always composed largely of
farmers, and they have plenty of busi-
ness at home in June, whereas they are
entirely at leisure in December and so
can give all needful time and care to the
investigation of matters brought before
them.

Ground Hog Day.

The ground hog theorists will tell one
that the ground hog comes from out
the earth invariably ON Feb. 2, and
never before. He comes out with the
break of day, and if the weather be such
that he can at any time during the day
see his shadow he hies him back into his
hole, and sleeps for six weeks longer.
But if the weather be gloomy, rainy,
snowy, or if, in short, the sun is not
seen all day, the ground hog knows the
rigors of winter are over, and he stays
out to enjoy the early spring.
The ground hog prophecy was founded
on the old English saying regarding
Candlemas day, for Feb. 2 is Candlemas
day. The country folk always put much
faith in the indications supplied by the
state of the weather that day.
An old adage illustrates the mode in
which the day told the sturdy British
yeomen the future weather. 1t is as
follows:
If CandlemaS day be fair and bright
Winter will have another fight
If Candlemas day be clouds and rain,
Winter is gone and will not come again.

l will try"
Humbly and gently, earnestly and un-
tiringly, she strove from day to day to full
I'LL her duties as a wife, to minister to his
comfort and happiness in every way. In
SO doing she grew more and more to love
the generous nature that never spoke a
word of recrimination, and that always
showed appreciation of her smallest effort.
She grew to love her husband with hum
cry and despairing love-for she saw no
hope ahead. Although always gentle and
kind, there was ever gentle reserve and
reticence that seemed to say: "Thus far
shalt thou come, and no farther"
And she could not blame him! She dared
not. He was now giving her far beyond
what she had any right to expect.

Uncle Aaron grasped her hand still
tighter and answered: "Ye need not be,
child. Jacob has loved ye all this time"
Very humbly the beautiful head dropped
again and penitence that was complete
filled her soul.
They finally came into the town, and Rose
said, gently: 'Will you come to the
Mansion House and wait for me!'

something for Matthew, ye know. I'll
tend to that first, and send him word that

He went his way and she went hers.

CHAPTER VII.

The clerk in the small Office looked in
wonder ct the old man who asked him to
pen the message for him, saying, simply:
II can not write, will ye send it to him?'
They had about two hours to wait before
the boat would start, and this same clerk
in about an hours time came out of his
Office briskly hunting around with con-
siderable excitement for Uncle Aaron.
"Ahl here you are. Here's an answer" he
said, handing it to him.

Rose took it, looking very white, but one
glance, after she had unfolded it, was
enough. She gave a low cry and burst
into tears. This astonished the brisk clerk
very much, who, knowing what was in the
telegram, didn't see any thing in it to cry
about. He stood wondering at her, until
Uncle Aaron, taking the crumpled paper
from her fingers, said to him: "Read it to
me-"

On the grand old face, now so white and

that all was right with him. Jacob stood

Killed bY Prunes,

A peculiar death occurred at the house
of Charles Maltby, in the suburbs of
Plainfield, N. j., several days ago.
George Robinson, lad employed to as
sist Mr.. Maltby's gardener, entered the
buffers store room soon after dinner and
fed himself generously on dried prunes.
He then drank largely of water. In

skill could not lessen, and within an hour
after physicians had been summoned he
was dead.-Philadelphia Ledger.
