Every Frenchman owes service 10

This system gives France peace army

can be- augmented to $500, 600 men, or

Partly as a result Of the republican

In a sad monotone DIR. Blanchard told
the story Of the Weldons--how old John
Weldon died, cutting off his grand
daughter, the Doctors wife, in his will
and leaving his large property 20 Fred
erick and Valentine Weldon, the former
unmarried; how Valentine favored the
south and Frederick the north III the
war that had just begun; how Valen-
tine fed and Frederick was missing;
how body supposed to be Frederick's
was found long afterward far down the
river; how the curse Of that act had re-
ficcted on his children, and how he had
determined 10 20 with them into new
land. leaving all the property that
might have been theirs in the hands Of
Lawyer Bliss. All, everything up TO the
present moment, he told his silent lis
tener.

Mr.. Kyle, rising and reaching out his
hands, then letting them fall helplessly
by his side.

"Yes; living and here / am Valen-

extended appealingly, and drawing the
old man nearer 20 the altar he looked
into the haggard face, and clasping him
to his heart cried ont: Valentine, Val

He Wa. Black In the Face.

One Of the attendants at a local hos
pital, whose duty II Is 10 apply the ether
to patients about to be- operated upon,
often causes the doctors much annoyance
by reason of his overcaution. Ii Is rarely
that he can be persuaded 10 apply enough
of the anasthetic to produce the desired
effect without continual urging on the
part of the doctor who is 10 use the
knife. The other day patient was
about to be- operated upon and the old
difficulty arose Now, doctor, he's
really had quite enough, remarked the
attendant The doctor thought other
wise, aud insisted upon more ether.
demonstrating against applying any
more, the attendant was about TO CON-
ply with the doctors command when he
suddenly jumped back, exclaiming:
my God, doctor, the patient Is dying.
He's black in the facet "Of course he
is, you - fool, replied the doctor.

ard guessed that this was Mr.. Kyle, the
father of Louis. Not shadow Of suspi-

Great Kanawha, his hands red with the

he sat down on blanket near the doc

curse from which the innocent were
fleeing, but it has followed US. "

land, and it would not interest you tC
