MORE THAN HE sARGAlNED FOR.
He Was Chief Surgeon, Physician and
Nurse Without Knowing 1t.

Nurse knowing
1--WE had case of smallpox in our lower
camp once" said the colonel, (which gave
us good deal of trouble. You see there
were only six of us, and we did not want
to lose any more men than possible. We
determined to send the case to the upper
camp, five miles away, but the problem
which worried us most was who should go
along as nurse
"'Bob' the cook, was hard drinker,
and as soon as he heard of the case he pro-
ceeded to drown his cares in whisky. He
was terribly frightened at FIRST but the
more he drank the more resigned he be-
came to circumstances.
"When Bob was drinking he could beat
any man in Colorado at boasting and be-
fore long he began to declare that smallpox
had no terrors for him. In fact he had
nursed nineteen patients at one time when
every one else had deserted them He had
brought them safely through, too. In the
end he gravely asserted that he couldn't
catch the smallpox anyway, for he had al
ready had it.
Give of the boys looked at me signifi-
cantly, and nodded my head. We bundled
the sick man up carefully and put him in
lished hospital at the upper camp, with
the cook as chief surgeon, physician and
nurse. The cook, by the way, was sleep
ing as peacefully as a child when we left
the hospital.
"The next morning we heard wild shouts
and saw Bob tearing for the lower camp,
half dressed. Weimmediately established a
shotgun quarantine.
"'Hold up, Bob,' one of the boys shouted,
this camp is quarantined. You can't come
past the whistling post
"'But, say pleaded the frightened cook,
that man has the smallpox
"'Well, you volunteered to nurse him.
"T?' he screamed incredulously.
Remember those nineteen patients you
nursed.'
"'What nineteen patients'
"'And then, you know, you had it your
self
"I never saw case BEFORE he howled.
"'Can't help it, You've started on it now
and must keep it up
1--WE chased him back from the post, and
left some whisky and provisions for him
on the ground. We told him to come down
every evening at shutdown for new sup
ply, and we never let him come near the
camp.
"He used regularly to come down and
beg to be allowed to come into camp, but
the shotgun policy was strictly main
tanned. Then he would take up his whisky
and provisions and shout out to us that he
would have every one of us hanged for de-
hberate murder"
"Did he catch the smallpox? No, nor
did that experience cure him of lying and
Dragging. He afterward boosted to people
that he had nursed us all, only he swelled
our number to nine, for five weeks without
closing his eyes, that he rode thirty miles
twice week for medicine and looked af-
ter all the cattle besides. New York Tri-

A seauTlFuL YOUNG WIDOW.
She Remains Faithful to the Memory Of
Her Warrior Husband.
Especial Correspondence


Especial Correspondence
PARIS, Aug. 27.-A we'll known Pa
risian dame du grand monde is the Ouch
esse de Luynes, the only daughter of
Duke Sosthene de la Rochefoucauld-B BIZ
saccia by his first wife, Princess Yo-
lande de Polignac, proverbial for her
beauty. When Mile. De la Rochefou-
cauld married the young Due de Luynes
she was still in her teens, and the united
ages of both man and wife scarcely fig
ured up thirty-eight years. The union
was happy one, but Of short duration.
The duke was killed at the battle Of
Patay, in the Franco-German war, and
the unfortunate wife was made a widow
at 81. She vowed never to exchange
the name she bore for another and has
kept her vow.
Dampierre, the family country seat, is
an abiding monument of the love she
bears to the memory of the young and
accomplished hero who fell on the field
fighting for his country's cause. Not a
thing has been changed in the old resi-
dence; every bit of furniture-the accu-
mulated art treasures and heirlooms OF
centuries-is still to be seen just as he
left it when he started at the head Of the
Mobile troops of the Sarthe, whom he
commanded. Yet, faithful as she is to
her widow weeds, the duchess is by no
means of a somber turn of mind. She
spends the winter at Cannes, the autumn
MT nn,,n IN a,.ic ND
the summer at Saint German, or in
England. She owns a fine hotel in close
proximity to her fathers sumptuous
mansion in the Rue de Varenne, and the
receptions she gives there during her
two months stay in the gay capital are
eagerly attended. The entertainments
given by the duchess at Cannes are the
talk of the Riviera for weeks before and
after; the guests, as in Paris, are the
flower of the aristocracy; and often
times the theatrical performances, which
are the great attraction at her charming
villa, only take place before parterre
of kings.
Although frail and delicate in appear
ance, with dark hair and expressive blue
eyes, the Duchesse de Luynes is active
in her habits, and makes the most of her
time. She rises early, dresses neatly and
well, superintends the education of her
children, organizes trips and excursions
for their benefit, rides, hunts and trav-
els with as much zest as any English
girl. Not three years ago she went all
over Algeria with Comtesse Patocka and
Nine. de Brantes But her chief delight
is in painting. She was one of a bevy of
aristocratic pupils Of Cot, among whom
were Miles. de Sartiges, De Banuelos, De
Segur-now Comtesse de Guerne-and
Mile. de Goulaine, now Comtesse de
Mailly-Nesle, One of her best friends is
the Marquise d'Hervey de SaintDenis-
in art Louise Internationally
constant attendant at the masters stu
dio. The duchesse herself puts the sigma
ture "Yoland0 Dalbert" to all her art
work. THEODORE STANTON.
