WOLF-SOLANGE.

From the French, in the Strand Maya
zine.
Stick in hand, our bags slung over
our shoulders, we three had been walk
ing all the afternoon in the beautiful
forest of Tronsays, which covers half
the Saint-Amand district and half the
Nevers district. The end of our tramp
for that day was the village of Ursay,
near the bank of the Cher a little place
huddled up in an arm of that valley
which divides the forest in two. There
we dined with an old friend of mine, a
doctor, whose small connection was
scattered over five or six neigHboring
parishes. Dinner over, we seated our
selves in the open, in front of the housa,
and meditatively smoked our cherry
wood pipes.
The shadows were gathering upon the
tall treetops all around US with the
slowness of a June evening; here and
there a cloud Of swallows was to be
seen; from little steeple, just visible
above the roofs of the houses, rang
out the o'clock angelus, in slow,
measured tones, an interval of silence
between each stroke, and in the dis
lance could be heard the barking of the
farm dogs as they called to and an
SWered each other.
A youngish woman, dressed in a short
skirt of red material, with a white
bodice, came out of a house close by
and went toward the river; she was
carrying a baby in long clothes on her
left arm, and holding with her right
hand the chubby fist of little boy.
who in turn was grasping the hand of
a younger brother. When she reached
the bank of the river Cher, the young
mother sat down on a big stone and
nursed the baby, while the two boys
quickly undressed and tumbled into
the water, where they splashed about
and threw water over one another with
shouts of laughter.
There's picture which would have
tremendous success in the salon.
said one of my companions, who was
an artist. "See how the light falls
, upon her! How we'll the red skirt
shows up on the dark backgrounds
Are you looking at Wolf-Solange,
young gentlemen?" asked a voice be-
hind us.
1t was our host, who had been de-
tanned inside by the arrival of a pa
tient, and who now rejoined us. Of
course, we asked him who Wolf-So-
LANCE was, and how she came by such
a strange name, and, in reply, he told
US the following story:
"Wolf-Solange, whose proper name
is Solange Grillet, maiden name Tour
nier, was the prettiest girl all around
Tronsays ten years ago. Hard work in
the fields and maternal cares have left
their mark upon her, but she is still

will you please send me one at
once?"
Gov. Cleaves, of Augusta, Me,
wrote: 81 am in full sympathy with
the object of your meeting"
Charles H. Sawyer, ex-governor of
New Hampshire, wrote: 81 heartily
concur in the movement to encour-
age military drill in public schools
throughout the country. The re-
suit must be in every respect bene-
fetal to- the nation, as we'll as indi-
vidually."
Gov. J. Young Brown, of Ken
lucky, wrote from Frankfort: 1.-The
subject of military drill in public
schools is, in my mind, one which
should be encouraged and promot-
ed"
Gov. J. T. Rich, of Michigan, wrote
from Lansing: "Your letter in re-
gard to introducing the military drill
in the public schools of the United
States has been received. This has
been done in our universities and
colleges and in several of our high
schools. I am very much in SYM
pathy with the idea, and, therefore,
think it should be introduced in the
public schools. I have not given the
subject sufficient investigation to
answer intelligently. I believe in
general way that the students in
our public schools should have more
instruction of the kind that will in
culcate patriotism in the rising gen.

Gov. Edmund D. Morrill,, of Kan

sympathy and cordial support in
your laudable and patriotic mo-

Gov. William T. Lord, of Oregon,
wrote: 81 am inclined to think ia

To make the matter national in
its scope and to discover the feeling
in the various states and territories
in the Union in regard to military
instruction in the public schools,
Commander Adams, as chairman of
the committee, sent letters to all the
governors in the country on the mat
ter, and also inviting them to a
grand conference on Jan. 25, at the
New Netherland hotel.
Commander Adams received re
plies from forty-seven governors,
and while some of them failed to
express an opinion on a matter of
such huge Importance, many of
them did. Through the courtesy of
Commander Adams copies of these
letters were obtained, and from
them a good idea of the way the diff
ferent states regard the scheme can
be had.

the brutes. for we did not see a single
one. When we reached the tree at the
foot of which the lovers were lying,
nv horse SHE'D and so drew my atten-
ton to them; 1 jumped out, and aided
by my man, lifted the poor things, I'M
conscious and stiff with cold, into the
cart. covered them with everything we
had in the way of rugs and made my
way as quickly as possible to Ursay.
I did not forget to take the VOLTS head
with me.
"It was about 7 o'clock, and the day
was breaking, when we reached the vii
lage We were met by large party,
consisting of the men employed on
the farm of NJ. Roger Duf1os and about
half the people of the village, who, UNI
easy at the disappearance of So
, lange, were going in search of her. And
it was in that large kitchen where you
have just dined that Laurent and So
LANCE, restored to consciousness and
seated in front of a flaming beechWood
fire, told us what they had passed
through during that dreadful night"
"Well, doctor, l suppose they got
married after that?' we asked.
"Of course" replied the doctor" The
will of Providence is at times so clear
ly shown in the course of events that
it does not require any gift of second
sight to perceive it. After the adVen-
ture of the wolves, the parents of So
LANCE consented to her marriage with
Laurent Grillet The wedding took
place in the spring, and the 80 francs
reward which they received for the
VOLTS head paid for the brides dress"
We all remained silent. 1t was now
quite dark, the twinkling stars were
reflected in the deep, blue water of the
Cher, and the thick mass of trees
stood out like mountains upon the hor-
lion.
We saw Wolf-Solange dress her two
boys and come toward us on her way
back to her home, the child asleep in
her arms and the others walking by
her side, as before. AS she passed us
she smiled at the doctor, who smiled
in return, and wished her a CHEEKY
