CHAPTER VIII.

Capt. Welsh showed considerable ex-
citement when he read the note of warn
ingwhich the mayor placed in his hands.
Mr.. Minard Hendricks was looking over a
bundle of New York papers which had
been sent to him, and did not look up
when the mayor entered the room.
Without word, Capt. Welsh held the
note before his eyes, and waited for him
to speak. After reading it, Hendricks
stroked his beard thonghtfully for a
moment, and then said:
don't think you need have any fear
up at FOUR place, Mr.. Round tree, but un-
der such circumstances women are
usually uneasy, so + should advise you,
Capt. Welsh, to have a couple of police
men in citizen clothes hang about the
grounds for few days. " ssz:S
This was done for week, but, as
nothing occurred to indicate the pres
encc OF danger, the men were ordered
away. Everything went on smoothly
till the day following Col. Warrenton's
visit to WILDLY. Mayor Round

had gone downtown, leaving his wife
and Mrs. Walters alone with the sery-
ants. Mrs. Roundtree was in the sit

and Mrs. Walters had strolled down the
gTayeled walk among the rose-bushes.

Hendricks pinched the captains arm

They had reached the lawn, when
Hendricks stopped Mrs. Walters and
examined her sleeve again.

up with people unskilled in our craft

not commit crime so often.''

I was facing that way. The man stood

he look like? How was he dressed?''
II am afraid I can't describe him ac-

dark beard"
''The smoke may have given you the
impression that his clothes were

:: She stepped back, smiling at the
others, who stood on the walk, and he
changed places with her. He stuck his
umbrella in one of her tracks and left
it there. "Only to mark the spot" he
said, indifferently. ''Now let's all go
over to the fence, and see if the rascal
left any footprints there"
They all walked to the corner of the
fence, and looked over towards the
trees near by. II Think Mrs. Wal

her sharply. 'Your eyes are better

and ease Of an acrobat, sprang over the
sharp -pointed palings. The others
passed through gate near by, and

PROMOTED FOR BATHING,

4 Young French Soldiers Piece OF
Good Fortune.
An incident related by the late Mar
shall Canrobert, French general, of
his own experiences in the Crimean war,
sheds a curious light on the French
character; it shows how much the
French like picturesque incident and
also, perhaps, how heroic an episode
might appear to them which was at
least not far from the ordinary to .
northern people.
In the Crimea, during the winter, Gen.
Canrobert was in the habit of going out
among the men of his command, incog-
nito, to see what they were about, and
to learn their wants and encourage the
soldiers if they needed encouragement.
One morning, on one of these tours. he
came upon a young eonscript who had
stripped himself to the waist, and was
bathing his body with handfuls of snow.
That's an odd sort of soap you are
using" exclaimed the general.
sob, it's good enough" said the SOL
der. You see I'm young, and, more
than that, I'm a Lorrainer, from Nancy,
and a fellow provincial of Gen. Druot,
who shaved himself with snow or the
march from Moscow, you know, ~ith
the mercury 30 degrees below freezing.
The old fellows in my company, you see,
bother me and make fun of me becavse I
haven't any beard, and, since [ can't
shave out of doors, like Druot, I have
to do this to show those old fellows that
I'm no more afraid of cold than an
of the enemy"
'Well,'' said Canrobert, what if /
should give you another way of getting
even with those old fellows?''
why, shouldn't mind" answered
the young soldier.
''I'n make you CORPORAL said the
general.
The soldier laughed. 81 guess that
won't CO." said he you'd find my
colonel wouldn't have it,
"I'm higher than your colonel; am
Gen. Canrobert."
The soldier was in transports espe-
cially as the same day he was made q
corporal in the presence of the reyi-
n,ent.
The story IS authentic, and it is q
good illustration of the ways which
served to make Canrobert the most pop
ular general in the French army; but Il
is unsatisfactory in the respect that II
does not tell whether the young cor
pora1 went on taking baths in the snow
in the hope of being made sergeant.

Yes, and he thinks he knows mo-

What can that be?'
"Just 4 week before Mr.. Strons's

and forbidden him to pay his addresses
to me. am sorry to say papa is worldly
minded. He had heard the report of
thought. in that case, that Mr. WILDLY
would not

Would not be his heir at ALL Papa
thought Mr.. Strong would change his
will altogether. It is very heartless for
him to think SO, but he believes that
Mr.. WILDLY committed the crime
through love for me-because his pow
erty was barrier to our MARRIAGE
THAT is an ugly view of the matter,
and it might have weight with a jury"
replied the colonel. ''Our only hope lies
in finding the real murderer. The note
dropped at the mayors house the other
night by the man who was seen about
the grounds proves that he is in this
city and at large"
Papa says it is reported that some
accomplish of Mr.. Whidby's did that to
1nislead the police
Col. Warrenton nodded thoughtfully.
Yes, and itwould seem very plausible
to them; but to US, who know the inno-
eence Of the one suspected, it proves
other things, and we must profit by it.
