ing near and Claude lighted SyY anu
crept softly toward the corner; in the
dim light he discovered a soldier, one of
the enemy, who had evidently been
struck down by the falling joists, for a
beam lay across his chest. The young
Frenchman uttered an exclamation ex-
pressing fierce hate, and drew his bayo-
net threateningly; the other man looked
at him with haggard eyes. Claude was
ashamed and drew back; it was indeed
an enemy, but wounded one, and the
conscript lowered his musket, which
struck the frozen ground with sharp,
clankirg sound.
"Let him de-" he muttered but q
choking voice exclaimed imploringly:
"Drinkl"
"You want a drink? Very likely" re-
torted the young trooper, laying his
hand on the canteen, which, before TAX
ing his place as sentry, he had filed with
warm coffee, generously seasoned with
brandy. every proper for me to warm
an enemy's stomach at the expense of a
Frenchman'sr'
He laughed sneeringly, and as if in de-
fance of the wounded mans entreaty
opened the canteen and put it to his own
lips. But the first drop seemed to choke
him; after all, this wretched German was
a fellow man! Claude leaned his gun
against the wall, stopped over the suf-
ferer, lifted off the heavy beam and then,
kneeling down, held the canteen over
the gasping mouth. The other man
raised his hands eagerly to grasp the
treasure.
"None of that" cried Claude; "put
down your paws, or not drop shall you
have. The creature thinks | would be
willing to drink after his berry lpsr'
The wounded man understood, for he
had lived in France before the war, and
made movement as if to turn away
from the look of disgust which accom-
panied Claude's words, but his feverish
thirst made him change his mind. He
opened his mouth and the other man
poured into it a stream of warm coffee
from the canteen, then, standing up,
tossed off bumper as his own share and
rushed out of the cabin in sudden terror
at the thought of having deserted his
post.
''That was a hard tug" said Claude, |
between his teeth.
At the end of half an hour, partly for /
the purpose of learning how the wounded |
man was getting on and partly to shield /
himself from the cutting wind which .
dashed his face, the young sentry again
entered the cottage.
The poor German, still tortured with
fever, stretched out his hand for the can
teen, and filled with pity, Claude Lata-
pie forgot his former repugnance, hur-
riedly detached the gourd from his belt
and handed it to the sufferer. As he
went out again four armed men stood
before him, and before he had time to
give the alarm he was disarmed and
prisoner. Sounds of hushed footsteps,
rendered almost inaudible by the deep
snow, now approached, and a body of
men came to halt. Their captain, q
Bavarian. ordered the prisoner into the

but Claude made no reply.
"Answer me, rascal, said the officer
after pause, cor your lips will be
opened by a bayonet through your body.
Where is the main guard stationedY'
The young soldier was silent.
'Here, men, spike this pigheaded fell
low" but an imploring voice exclaimed:
"Stop!' In surprise the captain turned
around, saw the man lying in the corner,
recognized him as one of his own COM
pany who had been left for dead, and
learned how compassionate the prisoner
had been to him.
Every well, will spare his life," said
the officer, "but we must take him with
us. Muller and Hermann, bind his
hands and lead him between you, and if
he makes the least noise strangle him
with his own voice. Forward! We shall
soon find the French"
Claude Latapie was in despair. He
had deserted his post, had failed to give
the alarm, and consequently his COM
rades were about to be surprised and
massacred. How could he prevent it?
What could he do to save them?
He marched along quietly, rejoiced
for minute at perceiving that his cap.
tors were taking the wrong direction,
but the captain soon discovered his error
and changed the route. This time they
were on the right road; the little band
of Frenchmen would be easily captured
all was lost!
Suddenly the prisoner stumbled and
fell, and as his guardians stopped to
drag him up again his fingers clutched
the trigger guard of Muller's musket.
The man snatched at the weapon, but
Claude hung on, and in spite of his
hands being bound succeeded in his de
sign. Then he felt for the trigger. Her
mann pierced him with bayonet, and
Claude, mortally wounded, felt his hold |
relax; convulsively he made another eff
fort and the gun went off. A loud re- |
port echoed through the darkness, and |
with all his remaining strength he
shouted:

Then, pierced through the body, he
reeled and stiffened, biting the snow.
But the report and the cry We're heard.
The French, aroused, attacked the
enemy; their main guard came up, and
after a short engagement the Germans,
finding themselves surrounded, laid
down their arms
Claude Latapie was lying in an am
bulance when the general of the corps
came up bringing him the viaticum of
the brave, the cross of the Legion of
Honor. The young man, however, made
a wild gesture as he exclaimed:

THE FRENCH SENTRY.

The enemy had retreated at last, leav-
ing the French masters of the position.
The sergeant had gone away, after plac-
ing conscrlpt, Claude Latapie, as SEN
try, on an eminence, under shelter of a
cottage, which had been half demol-
ished by the grapeshot.
Night was coming on, and in the deep
ening gloom the young soldier looked
half fearfully at the wintry landscape
Each object was huge, weird silhou-
cite, which his simple peasant fancy
transformed into fantastic specter,
and he tremblingly recalled the ghostly
legends heard in his childhood, the wom-
en- crossing themselves, the men shud-
dering and all drawing nearer the glow
ing hearth, while the wind howled
mournfully. Above him the sky grew
more and more Opaque, not star pierre
ing its blackness, and the bleak north
wind prolonged the tremulous signs of
the branches, as they softly rustled
against each other.
The sentry clasped his musket firmly
and stood motionless, paralyzed with
vague terror and almost numb with cold.
His thoughts were so busy with the
memory of his home and of days which
seemed, after all his battling and hard
ship, to be long away, that he half for
got his duty of keeping watch.
Suddenly moaning sound arose in the
darkness near him. Startled from his
reverie, Claude shook himself, cooked his
gun and looked about him anxiously.
