She was resting now, little Lu-
cette.
Resting, with face whittier than the
pillow ON which her head lay, victim
to brain fever.
From time to time her wasted little
hand would grasp convulsively, as il
seized with sudden fear, the long, bony
hand of her old grandmother.
Poor old woman, how she suffered TO
see her darling lying i'll, and in fury
of anger she would charge Verniere
with sacrificing the child to his vanity.
"You have driven her beyond her
strength. You've exhausted all her
forces. MauditPi
The father never replied. He knew
that he had done bad business and de-
served all the reproaches his mother
heaped upon him.
When Lucette opened her big eyes and
fixed them on him, they seemed to re.
proach him Also They felt like knives
in his heart
One afternoon, after the doctor's de-
parture, Lucette was taken delirious.
She sat up in bed, staring about her
wildly and crying: "The enemy Look
there Forward Vive rempereur
And again;
General Roquebert is mortally
wounded A doctor-quick-hurry-
there's no time to loseP ~
They were phrases from 1.-THE Old
Corporal, /" which were passing through
the fevered brain Of the poor child. Yer
Mere and his wife stood at the head ol
the bed, plunged in an abyss Of grief.
As for the old grandmother, she could
scarcely seq for weeping. Her heart was
broken.
For a few moments the child remain
ed quiet, ard the watchers thought she
had fallen asleep. but Suddenly starting
up "all of piece, and with an agony
of terror lighting up her face:
"The eDemy'' she cried, throwing up
her arms. 1.-The enemyr"
And she 'ell back dead.
Three days later the body Of the in
fant prodigy y'-Lucette Verniere-was
laid in the cemetery at Pantin. On the
coffin was placed magnificent floral
crown, which bore the inscription, 'Tc
Lucette verniere, artistic, from the The
atre du Nord "
The old grandmother was too pros
trated to join the funeral procession, but
after the sun was down, the figure Of
the poor old creature might have been
seen bending over the still open grave,
and her voice heard calling softly, Sc
softly that she seemed afraid it might
awaken the little sleeper who lay be-
low: "Lucette, my child; my darling
Lucette 1t is l. Do you hear me? l am
coming to you. !"
Next morning the gravediggers found
upon the grave of the Infant prodigy
the inanimate form Of the old grand
mother, smiling in death upon her well
beloved grandchild Lucette. From the

The Students Corner.

Miss Mary Fagg registered on the
visitors list at the teachers institute
in Milton on Friday.
The institute is over. Now arises
the question will the teachers profit by
what they have heard?
How many school directors do you
think were present during the institute
directors day?" Ask some one that
knows.
The attendance at the institute was
excellent considering that quite num-
Der of schools we're not in session. The
enrolment reached sixty-two-thirds
of the teachers being ladies.
1t is hoped that every school board in
the county will take steps toward the
establishment and maintenance of
library in every school house by vot-
ing to appropriate an amount equal to
that raised by the pupils for the purpose.
Miss Hannah Ho]ton, of Larimore,
one of the tall and stately lady teach
ers of Grand Forks county visited the

Germ.
The educators of the state are dis
cussing the ACCESSIBILITY of doing away
with the teachers institute and estab-
fishing short term summer schools as a
substitute. The same instruction given
at the institute for teacher in the
first grade is of little or no benefit to
the teachers in the other grades and it
is thought the summer schools could DO
made to become an improvement over
the institute, and the work of
each grade could be properly defined.
