some minutes the door was opened by
old Hubert.
"What may monsieur please to
want?" asked the old man, quaking in
every limb.
"You have one OF our officers lying
here wounded" said the German in
French. II wish to see him.
Certainly, monsieur" answered
Hubert. "Will you be good enough
to enter? And will you please TO
step softly, as my poor young mis-
tress is very ill?'
''He is alive, of course?" muttered
the officer, halting on the threshold.
Eyes, monsieur.
On receiving this reply the officer
beckoned, and another German, also
in uniform, leaped from the saddle
and ran up to his side.
Eyes; he is here. Come with me,
Borgfeldt; you may be wanted"
With obsequious timidity, Hubert
led the way upstairs into the sick
mans room. He was lying in bed,
propped up with pillows, and reading
a book. One glance at the book
showed its religious character. 1t

A NEW LIVERY STABLE.
Messrs. S. 7. Stilkey & Son Move Into the
New Stable on Rines' Viii.

Saturday afternoon, Mcssrs. S. L. Still
key g. Son left their old quarters near the
Arlington house and moved in the new
and commodious stable on Rincs' hill re-
Gently erected by Mr.. Byron Boyd. This
stable is first class In all its appointments.
Its size Is 45x55 feet and 1t is fitted up to
accommodate 40 horses. In an emergency,
many more could be omfortably cared for
temporarily.
On the street floor is the carriage reposi-
tory. In the southwest corner of this floor
Is the Office very pleasant room, which
will be well fitted up and tidily kept so
that ladies and gentlemen will have a
pleasant and suitable place to sit while
waiting for horses. Next to the office Is q
very conveniently arranged harness room
Carriages will be washed In the southeast
corner of the stable, in a small room which
projects from the rear of the building
Tho upper story is used as hay and
grain loft and Is very commodious. In
the southwest corner of this room above
tbc Office are the hostlcrs' quarters
The lower story, which is below the
street, Is well lighted on three sides and
has one window In front. Here the horses
are kept. 1t is reached from the street
floor or carriage room by an inclined Walk
covered with leather waste. Here is found
avery facility for the comfort Of The anil
mails. On the north and south sides are
rows of stalls extending the entire length
of the building In the front end are
sever,l double stalls and in the east end
of the room is tank of water from the
Kennebec.
The rooms throughout the building are
LIGHTED by electricity A telephone is in
the office and also electric bells to awaken
the hostlers at night Communication
between the Office and the lower room is
had BY means of speaking tube.
The firm Is composed of Stephen L.
StIlkey and his son, VIII H. Stilkey. II
is a coincidence perhaps worthy OF not'
that r. Stllkey was born in 1s49 on the
spot where this new stable stands. His
narents at that time resided In the house
which years before had been occupied o!
a Mr.. Rines, for whom the hill was named
Mr.. stilkey's mother was Rines.
Mr.. Stilkey has been In the livery ousi
ness and In the work of handling horses
NIL his life. Five years ago he started II
business for himself ut the small staoi'
near the Arlington house, now tn
property of Horace H. Hamlin. At thai
time he owned but one horse His busi

and he was obliged to extend the limits of
his rather close quarters in every direction
and to hire stalls from all his neighbors
who bad room to spare. During the past
year his son became joint owner with
him in the business.
The reason of Mr.. Stilkey's success is
apparent. Prompt and efficient service has
been rendered to the public. He has given
personal attention to every detail of his
work.
When the Messrs Stilkey collected their
horse boarders and their own horses into
the new stable, they found nearly all the
stalls full. Only few are vacant. today,
and several of these have been spoken for.
A few minutes can be very pleasantly and
profltably spent in looking over this ideal
home for horses.
