the evening wind dried in his eyes two

"Jean-Victor,' said he, 'if we both
survive this terrible war, we will see

then, as the night was falling, and
they were harassed by the enemy's
pickets and sharpshooters, they re-

by side and slept profoundly.
Toward midnight Jean-V Victor awoke.
being hungry, probably. The wind
had swept away the clouds. and a ray
of moonlight, entering the cabaret by
the hole in the roof, rested upon the
blonde, handsome head of the young
duke, sleeping like an Endymion. Still
touched by the kindness of his COM
rade, Jean Victor was regarding him
with naive admiration when the SER
geant of the platoon opened the door
and called the five men who should go
to relieve the advanced sentinels. The
duke was of the number. but he did
not awake at the call of his name.
"Hardimont!,' repeated the officer.
"If you consent, sergeant" a jean
Victor, rising, ~ will stand his watch.
He sleeps so well, and he is my com'

"As you wish"
And when the five men departed the
snoring recommended.
But a half hour later some shots,
quick and close at hand, rang out on
the night air. In an instant every one
was on foot; the soldiers ran out of the
cabaret, marching cautiously, guns in
hand, gazing far down the road lit by
the cold white moon.
What time is it?" asked the duke.

Some one answered him:
"Jean-Victor went in your place"
At this moment they saw down the
road a soldier running toward them.
"Well?" they asked, when he stopped,
breathless.
The Prussians are attacking. They
drove us back on the redoubt."
"And your comrades?"
"They are coming-all except poor
Jean-Victor."

the present issue OF bonds 1t Is said at tho
Treasury Department that the original In

given By Secretary Foster to the Bureau OF

pushed forward under great pressure. The
plates were prepared 10 almost the point OF

was reoonsidsred.

again received at the bureau to prepare for an
