TO THE SIDE OF THE QUIvERING HORSE
in an excited group, while all their eyes
were fixed on the river.
With pardonable curiosity Wanda
opened the front door and called to ask
them what they saw.
''Oh, teacher, come here! Come.
quick!'' was the eager demand of the
little ones
''What is it?" she cried, not caring to
wet her feet unnecessarily.
There! by yondcr big icebcrg.''
Johnnie's ideas of icebcrgs were as
much at fault as his orthography.
Yes, certainly there was something
creeping over the snow in the far dis
tance, which in the indistinct light might
to Wanda's inexperienced eyes have
been wolf or q dog; but the urchins
were right, for as it got nearer, Miss
Arlington recognized it as a horse-a
black horse, with broken harness trail
ing in the snow.
By the time the poor thing had
reached the shore and stood with head
bent low at the foot of the bank-its
knees broken and bleeding, its coat COW
cred with frozen gouts of blood, and a
great cash visible on it's quivering
shoulder-James Dolman had Joined
the group.
''Jerushar he cried, his sallow face
turning even deeper yellow, ''ef tibet
amt one of 'Phonse's bashaws!!''
Wanda turned sick at the thought.
She would have fallen-the street
seemed to be reeling round her-had
she not chung to the arm of a girl
standing by, who looked with wonder at
the young teachers emotion.
''Are you sure. Mr.. Dolman," she
said as soon as her trembling lips could
frame the words: ''Arc you sure that it
is one of Mr.. Damiens' horses?"
''Sure.' sneered Dolman, "ther amt
another horse O tibet breed i the hull
county,
'.And some accident must have hap
pened?"
Like es not. I said how it 'ud be
last night, when they would start in
the blizzard. 'Phonse Damiens' wrists
is like steel, but he couldn't hold them

But you said last night they would
be quite safe, Mr.. Dolman. You urged
Mr.. Arundel to co. Wanda remon-
Strated.
Safe. I said no SIGH thing. But thet
horse must be helped to shelter, an
you'd better go in the house. Cryin'
won't do no good. Besides. how dye
know they're hurt? 'Tain't the fust

left u.s."
$50 tbs. Guess they must O. got hurt
ed-like es not they dropped in an air
hole-p'r'aps them wild bashaws kicked
'em silly es they broke loose"
Then, for heavens sake" Wanda
cried. give the alarm and get men to
go with you to their rescue! Oh, if I
were only mani the girl sobbed,
crazed at his elaboration.
''Oh, We'll go fast enough soon es
we've got this poor critter in the stable.
The boss is alive, miss-the men may
be dead, for all we know" and James
Dolman, not to be perverted from his
intentions by girls tears, climbed
down the bank to the side of tn. quiz
ering horse.
But by this time the news had spread
through the village and a little crowd
had quickly gathered on the river bank.
The men looked grave as they dis
cussed the situation, and Wanda gath,
cred no hope from their sad faces By
this time the mist was arising from the
river, and eager eyes were strained
along its northern channel.

GENERAL BOULANGER.

In the unhappy death of Bouianger,
one of the most CONSPICUOUS figures of
the century goes down to an unhonored
grave. He died over the grave of one
whom in life he loved and in death
cherished. IT'S sad commentary on
greatness that it should be extInguished
in such an ignoble manner. The dis
patches say that his death has caused a
tremendous sensation, obituaries in the
European newspapers, it IS cabled, do
not reflect upon his political career ex-
cept in the "Le Journal Des De-
bats" which says: "Gen. Boulanger
knew the intoxication of widest and
noisiest popularity. 1t was Boulanger
who SAID that the weakness Of one too
often influenced the decision of anoth-
err His end fully justified that die
tum." He had not courage to survive
her who sacrificed herself for HIM.
Gen. Boulanger left will and political
testament in his desk. 1t is stated that
in the latter he enjoins upon his friends
to prosecute great aims he had in view.
He ascribes his death solely to grief OF

Then the Democratic howl about every

no weight with me. The mortgages are
blessing to the country for this rea-
son: that three-fourths of the molrey

estate. For instance. a man saves two
or three hundred dollars. and buys n
house worth five or six hundred, by
making payment of what he already
has saved and giving mortgage for the
rest. Now that man has every incen-
tive to save money to pay off the mort
gage. He won't be at all apt to sQuan-
der money, and his mortgage is bless
ing TO him, for he knows that bv proper
care he will own his home in very

ing before q numerous attendance.
There is much in the opera that is REM
iniscent of "The Mikado," many Of the
chorus measures being very like that

Grand Rapids is accustomed to see and
the combined efforts OF principles and
choruses demonstrated excellent train
ing and musical strength that was i'm
presslve and inspiring. Every latitude
is given, as is the case in comic opera,
to the comedian, and this privilege is
cleverly assumed by Edwin Chapman
who received hearty hands for his in
cidental allusion to local matters. The
opera was exceIlenHy staged and ad-
mirably produced, the only drawback
being the miserable orchestration Of
fered on the part Of the remnants of
the orchestra of this theater. The
music this season reminds very much
of Detroit, where it is SO proyerblally
bad, that the audiences retire almost
en- masse during the entire act.
Tonight Kate Claxton, an actress we'll
known here for her impersonation of
Louise in The Two Orphans" will re-
vive this sterling French melodrama at
Powers Grand. She appeared here in
this theater many years ago when this
play was the talk of the country, hav-

cities. Miss Claxton guarantees a
