COWARD AND HERO.

1t WAS the 10th of December, before
Son-Tay. For two days we had splashed
in the miro of tho rioefelds, the water up
to our knees. knew well we should got
used to 1t, but 1t was worrying all tho
same Nevertheless we marched steadily
on, as regular and attentive as If we were
on drill.
1 tell you this is true. I am an old
trump. 1 have been nine years in the serv-
ice and six with the rank of sergeant, and
the number OF young soldiers 1 have
trained and commanded fright about
face" is incaloulable, but never have
seen men march Ike these, shoulder to
shoulder, as exact as II drawn by line,
and that, tell you, in two feet of mud.
Sapristi, but 1t was superbi

sec how we'll the soamps could keep step
when theychose. All, we'll, 1 had nothing
to complain Of that day. Halt! Well, not
II bit too soon, 1 thought, and yet droll
place to halt In. No matter I filed my
pipe and looked around to see where we
were. Ricefielde to the right, 90 tho loft,
and behind us q thick slush mode by our
trampling feot- A little corporal, who has
q tongue we'll hung-indeed too we'll hung
called out 10 me:
Sergeant Bertrand, Sergeant Bertrand,
no need to light your pipe. Walt awhile;
they will light 1t for you
The jackanapes! AS II 1 didn't know
we would soon be under the fire of tho en-
emyl Suddenly heard them calling the
roll of my company and saw my brave fell
lows break ranks and trot like rabbits
across the riocHclds to meet the baggage
master, who was returning with a great
package untcr his arm.
Letters Now, ask you, was this Il good
time to distribute letters? There they were
running like SO many madmen. I was the
only ono to remain tranquil. 1t is true,
have no ono TO writo to me, DO family, no
friends, nobody-all alone In the world,
like an old bear. Heaven help mo!
At last I SEQ my men return to their
places, holding up their hands to keep the
letters from being soiled by tho water, and
carefully, as If they wero guarding the last
words and testimony of their dying moth
ers. All, .Tacque has letter!

The Poison Finder.

Tho poor man lay grooming In bod with
the blankets pulled closely round him. 1t
seemed hours since he had gone there in
the vain attempt to get to sleep after he
had tired himself out walking up and
down the floor.
He had tho toothache.
At last he could stand it no longer.
With mighty resolve no jumped out of
bed and stumbled his way Into the Kitchen.
Standing on chair he CROPPED about the
top shelf OF tho cupboard in search Of the
bottle. He searched In vain. Although
he knew it was thore no couldn't put his
hands on 1t. 1t seemed to him that he
had handled every blessed bottle mt least a
score OF times. In the midst of his swear
ing brilliant idea struck him. Ho re-
membored that laudanum was poison
Hurrying back to the bedroom he went to
the crib and dragged forth the baby.
Onoe moro he stood on the chair This
time he had the baby in his arms. He
held tho little thing up until her tiny little
fingers touched the row Of bottles. The
sorrowing man watched the little hand
travel lightly over the walls and then
suddenly olutoh at one. AS he took it
away from the baby smile of satisfaction
lit mp his face. Tho label on tho hottie
read, "Laudanum-poison.''

Took 1t For q Tin.

The lighthouses in England are period
icaliy visited by the inspecting officers of
the Trinity House brethren, whose func.
tion is ID SEQ that everything is in proper
order. On one occasion, while examining
the mechanism of the monster revolving
lamp belonging TO lighthouse one of the
gentlemen, wishing to see how many Sec
onds would elapse in completing a revolu-
ton, took half crown pieoe from his
pocket and placed it on tho revolving
framework.
Watch in hand, he patiently waited for
tho coin to come round again to where no
was standing, but no half crown appeared
The seconds longthcned into minutes
still no hale CROWN
STRANGE" he exclaimed. What can
DO the meaning of it!''
In order to ascertain tho cause of tho
strange phenomenon he walked around to
the other side of the lamp and in doing
SO, encountered one of the lighthousemcn
who touched his hat and said, Thank
you, sir, in an undcrtone.
Tho man. seeing tho coin coming toward
him, had pocketed it, thinking it was
meant for tip.-New York Herald.

Nothing else. All, blood of blood, what a
letter He was right, poor boy. Ono ought
not to receive letter like that just before
battle. AS for mo, cried like baby
and was scarcely able to read 1t for tho
tears in my eyes. 1t was from his mother,
and hero is what the good woman wrote
to her boy as she ended her letter:
"Now, my precious Jacque, take care Of
yourself for my sake. Romember you are
all have In this world and II anything
should happen to you would surely go
mad. 1t is true the time passes very YEARLY
when ono is waiting, but 1 try to be pa
ticnt, to forget the present and only think
of the future when you will return. Above
all things, my precious boy, BIO prudent.
DO whatever you are commanded to do,
like brave soldier, but do not expose
yourself unnecessarily. forbid you. No,
no, my darling Jacque. l forbid you
nothing. / imploro you, before entering
into any engagement, to think Of your
mother, who is always thinking OF you,
and do not risk too much. Promise me
this, will you notp And remember, q man
is not coward because he loves his
mother. Z"
Tho letter fell from my hands, under
stood all now. He had thought Of his
mother, tho bravo boy. and waited until
'he was directly commanded to go. And,
no doubt, that morning when no was look
ing for away to that bit OF blue sky whore
there was nothing to DO seen he was
thinking Of his mother and Of that prom
ise he had sworn to keep.
And that is why Sergeant Jacque, who
died like hero, with his face to the enc
my, was considered a coward twice In one
day.-E'rom tho French.
