HEROINE OF THE TELEGRAPH.

How q French Girl Outwitted the Ger
mans During the War of 40.
In the Franco-German war of 1870
the Uhlans in particular played havoc
with the French wires. On arriving at
village they would ride up to the tel
egraph Office, cut the connections and
carry off the apparatus, or else employ
it to deceive the enemy. They were
outwitted, however, on one occasion,
and by a woman, says the New York
Advertiser. Mile. Juliette Dodu, a girl
of eighteen, was director of the tele7
graph station at Pithiviers, where she
lived With her mother, when the Prus.
SLAMS entered the town. They took
possession of the station, and, turning
out the two women, confined them to
their dwelling on a higher floor. It
happened that the wire from the office,
in running to the pole on the roof,
passed by the door of the girls room,
and she conceived the idea of tapping
the Prussian messages. She had con-
trived to keep a telegraph instrument,
and by means of derivation from the
wire was able to carry out her pur-
pose. Important kilograms were thus
obtained and secretly communicated
to the subprefect of the town, who con-
veyed them across the Prussian lines to
the French commander.
Mile. Dodu and her mother were
both arrested, and the proofs of their
guilt were soon discovered. They
were brought before court-martial
and speedily condemned to death, but
the sentence had to be confirmed by.
the commander of the corps-d 'ar1nee,
Prince Frederick Charles, who, having
spoken with Mile. Dodu on several oc-
casions, desired her to be produced. He
inquired her motive in committing so
grave a breach of what are called the
claws of war" The girl replied: ''Je
suis Franchise" Il am Frenchwoman.)
The prince confirmed the sentence,
but, happily, before it was executed,
the news of the armistice arrived and
saved her life. In 1878 this telegraphic
heroine was in charge of the post Office
at Montreuil, near Vincennes, and the
18th OF August she was decorated with
the Legion of Honor by Marshal Mac
Mahon, president of the republic.

His Enthusiasm Led Him to Lay It On
Too Thick.
The clerk in the stove establishment
was trying to sell the countryman a
stove, and the way he talked it up was
worth twice the salary he was getting.

let you have that stove at fifteen dol
lars and you can't get one anywhere
else in town like it for less than TWEEN
ty-one dollars"
''How do you know 1 can't?" asked
the chary old fox from the back lands.
Because there isn't another like it
in town. responded the clerk with the
confidence of man on the witness

"And you are only letting me have it
as an accommodations"
Exactly"
The old one patted the clerk on the
back affectionately.
s'Well, young feller," he said, 'I'm
as willin' to make sacrifice as you
are, and bein' it's you won't rob you
of the only thing of the kind you have
in the world. Good morning. Any
time you're up my way stop and take a
meal with me. Good-by," and with
soft, meandering smile, he passed
away. Detroit Free Press

THE GRASS.
tinction between such garments and
his own had. been driven into Paddy's
skull even at his early age. 1t con-
sisted in the fact that such clothes had
money in their pockets while his had
none. IL ..a-t -.
Reasoning thus, Paddy was about to
ask the stranger for 1.-The price Of a
beer" when the conversation was
taken out of his mouth.

set young man. What's yours?'
Patrick O'Toole. Have youse got
der price"
''Have you ever been to school?''
asked Bangs, interrupting.

said Paddy, staring. ''Have youse got-''
would you like to have an educa-
tion?"
''Come again"
"Do you want to go to school? Have
you any desire to learn?"
81 Dunno" said Paddy, "but I've got
thirst that"
"Yes, you do know. You. want to
amount to something. You don't want
to go on this way. Now look here. I've
taken fancy to you. I've got more
money than I know what to do with,
and I'm willing to spend some of it on
Paddy O'Toole. If you will put your
self in my hands, I'll educate you and
pay all your expenses from this day
until you graduate from college. Come
This is the chance of your life. Will
you take what Heaven sends you?''
Paddy dropped his pipe on the
ground. Then he propped his meager
body up with his preternaturally long
arms, and sat there in the attitude of
one who had been knocked down by a
blow in the face.
'sAre youse stringin' me?" he gasped.
81 mean every word say. What
should gain by deceiving you?"
'Darned if l know" rejoined Paddy.
''You couldn't get nothin' out O. me-
''Then believe what tell you, and
come with me-"
Say" said Paddy, ''I'll have to go
you. ] don't catch on to the game, but
it looks easy. What do you want me to
do first?"
"Come with me and talk it over"
Let her go. It's bargain. I'm
wild yer!
Paddy got up and stretched his long
limbs. He looked around at the IA
miliar trees, and the monument on the
hill. He wanted to see whether they
were all there. 1t seemed more proba-
bile to him that they would be absent,
and that he would find himself in bed
somewhere. and just waking sfrom a.
dream.
But the common looked no different
from it's ordinary. The trees were
waving gently under the blue sky. His
late companions in the game were
scattered about on the grass. And be-
fore him stood a person whom he
vaguely suspected to be the boss of the
ward the highest dignitary with
whose Office he was familiar who
wanted to give him lot of money just
for going to school.
It looked like a good thing. ldy

were all closed and that his work could

that saved the game because Duff was

CHAPTER II.


BORN TO BLUSH UNSEEN.
Paddy O'Toole had never enjoyed
many advantages, but he had thriven
surprisingly without them. At the age
of seventeen, he was nearly as tall as
a tree. A diet of mixed ale and chew
ing tobacco is not recommended by the
best authorities, but the wonderful
power of Paddy's vital machinery had
transmitted it into hard muscle and
plenty of it.
He would not work in warm weather,
and in the winter he never could get
anything to do. Such being the case,
the fact of his continued existence
should have shown him that destiny
was preserving him for a remarkable
career. But Paddy never considered
such subjects. He accepted food and
shelter when they were offered him,
and did very well without them on
other occasions. He gave no thought
to the morrow, and the lilies of the
field were not arrayed as he was. In
fact Paddy's clothes had almost no
competition in their special line. No
body's cast-of garments could possibly
= IT,
have been long enough for Paddy, and
had they been so he would have out
grown them in a month.
Paddy had been playing ball on Bos-
ton Common. The game was over, and
his side had won. 1t always did. When
Paddy pitched nobody else on his nine
but the catcher ever had anything to
do. The outfielders usually%sat down
on the grass and smoked clay pipes
while they waited for three men to
strike out.
After the game Paddy also lit a pipe
and sat down on the grass. Imme-
diately he was aware of a thick-set
young man. whose clothes were as
sharply differentiated from Paddy's as
the sartorial art permits. The dis

Jimmie Lorne was made acquainted
with the famous athlete whom he re-
garded with veneration. He would
have remained there till the following
day imbibing wisdom from this en-
inent authority, but Mr.. Bangs dis
creetly took himself away.
AS he walked across the field through
the crowd now rapidly thinning there
was light of hope in his face and he
whispered to himself:
''If my brother could fall in love with
such girl as Miss Lorne it might make

Il WISH WAS IN DIXIE LAND,

These familiar words are the be.
ginning Of the famous song of
"Dixie" song that was sung by
more people at the beginning of
aud during the war than any song
ever written. Dan d, Emmett the
author of the song was minstrel
performer with the Bryant's Min
strels in New York City when he
composed the song. 1t was origi-
naly written for a walk around for
the Bryant troupe, Ere they had
had sung it a week all of New York
was singing and whistling it. The
soldiers Of both armies began sing
ing it at the beginning of the war
but ere long it was regarded as the
song Of the Sons of the South. At
the campfire, on the march, and at
the front, it was the song Of songs
~ the soldier boys never tired OF its
stirring strains, At the time it
was written no one seemed to take
any interest in the authorship OF
the song OF the thousand who
sang it none asked who wrote it. 1t
did not become generally known
until the end of the war that Dan
d. Emmitt, the minstrel, was the
author of the song, The song
made Emmitt famous For many
years he was the reigning fayorite
in minstrelsy handsome and talent
ed, sober and reliable; his name was
tower of strength with any com.
pauy In his declining years he
retired from the stage to spend his
