'What has been sworn-they al
most invariably swore it before the
highway expeditions in those troub-
lous times-was to consider every
wounded man as dead, and give him
the coup de grace to keep him from
betraying them on being left behind.
ON. Caesar saw himself lost.
Brother, embrace me; you will
tell them at home that [ have been
killed by the Blues Then, hearing
them making ready the arms, he said,
I should rather be stan.ing.
''They took him by the arm and
paced him upright against tree.
He looked for moment around him,
at the woods, the fields, the sky, as if
he wished to recall the things of this
world in the world beyond. Having
seen me, he called me, gave me his
gourd, and said,-
"I wish my share to be for the
little one Then, throwing away
blade of grass which he was chewing
he said, Come, ready!'
81 flew as fast as [ could run; the
brother, whom they were holding,
cried,-'Kill me too! Kill mel
''The women wrung their hands at
the windows of the house.
''Certes! Among the men who were
there many loved M. Caesar; but, at
the moment, each one thought only of
his own skin.
"'Take aim! Fire!'
''When [ came back, rybody was
gone; pitchforks and guns were rap
idly descending the mountain, and |
found my father alone near the body
of M. Caesar.
''They left him at the bottom of
the ditch, concealed among the leaves.
The next day we decided to go and
look for him at night, with lanterns,
and bury him under this heap of
stones. That is the story!''
The story-teller was silent for a
space. Then he added
Revolutions are terrible, and fear
renders men worse than wolves. >

pitchfork on the floor that the fork
remained stuck.
ga terrible man was this lie Prieur
a mastery man!
"'Ten thousand francs!' he hOw.ed,
bringing down his fist heavily on the
table. Ten thousand francs when
we had been promised a hundred
thousand! The chiefs sell us and
steal from us-tomorrow l become a
Jacobin But we know the trick now;
the treasurer at Gap is your accom-
plice, Monsieur Blase. \ ou have writ
ten to him, "Keep the main treasure
sheltered at your home; do not ex-
pose it upon the great roads. Ten
thousand francs in the wagon are suf-
fcient. The cash box carried off, the
government will believe that hum
dred thousand francs have been car
ried Oh. We will divide the rest be-
tween us. And the imbeciles who
make the stroke will have to keep ST.
lent whether they are pleased or
not"
''The house trembled; NJ. Blase was
white.
"'Come, it is all right said LIE
Prieur. we will regulate this ac-
count later; let us pocket wha, there
is. We must get away from here be-
fore the gendarmes find us.
"'Five hundred francs to each!'
continued NJ Blase in his husky
voice.
Five hundred francs!'
''Le Prieur was about to burst out
again, but restrained himself. Beside,
everybody understood that he WAS
right; and, the first fever past, look
ing at his little heap of money for
which they had Redeemed the pebbles
of the roadside and killed men, each
one regretted the adventure and felt
greatly disturbed.
wherefore, when the division was
made, and while each was taking his
part in silence, somebody having
struck outside at the door, there was
no one who did not grow pale. The
same idea came to me as to the others,
and 1 said to myself, Here are the
soldiers!'
cit was only an old woman. She re-
lated that she had just seen a young
man who was wounded, and whose
name was NJ Caesar In fact, at some
hundred steps from the house, we
found NJ Caesar stretched upon the
side of one of those long bitches
traced in the woods. His thigh was
broken by ball, and the blood from
saber cut flowed over his eyes.
"'Quick, "a litter!' exclaimed NJ.
Caesars brother.
''But LIE Pr1eur said,-
cit is not worth while
Then everybody looked at each
other, and [ understood that some
thing terrible was going to take place.
"'Go away, little one!'
81 concealed myself behind a bush
and heard all the dispute.
Enough of blood! Let us permit
him to live. We will conceal him,
said M. Blase; and LIE Prieur, still en-
ragged on account of his five hundred
francs, answered.

Passed Away at Her
Home Late Last
Evening.
Surrounded BY Her Family
Funeral VIII take place at Red Jacket
congregational Church Friday
at 2 O'Clock y. m.

Mrs. w. W. Ellis died at her home on
Eighth street, Rcd Jacket, latelast night.
Mrs. Charlotte Wallace Ellis was born
at Orangeville, Canada, May 10, 1910,
and therefore lacked one month OF being
30 years OF age at the time oil her death.
She came 10 Eagle Harbor in 1864 and
was married 10 Mr.. Ellis June 20, 1860.
The family removed TO the Franklin mine
in 1871, where they resided for six years,
removing TO Red Jacket in 1877.
During the whole OF her married life
and particularly the twenty years OF her
residence in Red Jacket she devoted her
self with uutiring zeal and fidelity TO her
home and family. With true womaniy
instinct be shrank from anything that
brought her TO the eye OF the public and
found her chief Joy in that patient and
aiiectionate service for those she loved,
she literally lived for Others. For nearly
six years she had been a sufferer, but not
until within about three months was her
condition thought to be serious. She
was strong in the hope, up 20 within two
or three days of her death, that her life
would be spared. Surrounded by her
stricken family, for whose happiness aud
welfare she had laborei so long and
faithfully, she gave to each her dying ad-
monition, and passed away, trusting
with chlldlike simplicity and faith to Him
who said, Come unto Ne, all We that
abor and are heavy laden and | will give
you rest" All that could be done by the
best medical skill attainab!e, theexhaust
less tenderness and attention OF friends
and the constant care OF an unusually
skiliul and efficient nurse, was of no
avail. She il at rest and the family have
the rich legacy OF well.spent and deyot-
ed life TO comfort them in their affection.
She leaves a husband, three daughters,
Belle, Mrs. Paddock, Carrie, Mrs. Cruse
and Lottie, and two sons, William and
Mortie, besides host OF neighbours and
friends TO mourn her loss.
She had been for three years a member
OF the Red Jacket Congregations
church, TO which she had devoted all the
strength she was able TO command. She
will be bu led from that church on Fri
day afternoon at o'clock. Her last
words were, I'm going home"
