Good night replied Hardwood, alb
sently
After Bourke had gone away he sat
| for a while on his bed, listening to the
! drumming Of raindrops on the paper
window panes. He thought he could
sleep, but when he lay among the chilly
sheets his lips remained open in the
dark. 1t was Buckhurst's colorless eyes
that haunted him-that, and the mem

streaked with blood, as he CROPPED on
the sidewalk for the pistol. The blood?
That had been his doing Twice he had
struck Buckhurst heavily between thcs
/ pale eyes. And as he lay there he knew
that this dreaded criminal would never
forget, never rest until he had salts

{ Hardwood, resting motionless among
his pillows, heard the wind rising in
the night, heard the sudden creak and
swing of storm shaken shutters, the
swelling monotone of the rain. IT
seemed to beat on his heart. He felt
the harmony of the million drops, the
swift shafts of wind-swept rain blow
ing over vast valleys, over hills and
plains, and the crinkled surface of I'M
seen rivers
He wondered whether the Prussians
were very near-how soon their black
shells would come moaning and whist
ling over the city. That very morning
he had read the government bulletins
warning the inhabitants of Paris to
prepare for the bombardment by plac-
ing vaiuables in the cellar, installing
barrels Of water on roof and landings
to fight fire, and particularly to remove
all paving stones from court and side
walk, in order to lessen the effects OF
exploding shells. He himself had seen
workmen stuffing the windows and bal
comics of the Louvre with bedding and
mattresses. He had seen the Arc de
Triomphe swathed and padded, and
sheathed for protection against shot
and shell. How soon would the Ger
mans arrive? Which way would they
come-from the north or from the
east?
Outside the storm was subsiding,
cooler current of air swept across his
face. The beat of rain on frame and
sill ceased. leaving dropping echoes
from rainpipes and caves. AS the wind
freshened, the dripping roof cutters
grew silent The sobbing of the wind
through wet leaves filed the room. And
now he could see the shadows of NOV
ing branches outlined on the paper
panes, where long shafts of silvery
moonlight fell athwart the window
ledge, turning the oiled paper to sheets
Of palest gilt.
He could not sleep. He crept from
the warm bed to the window, and open

Vast masses of silvery clouds swept
away into the north, trailing in their
wake fecks and filmy tatters> In the
midnight velvet of the sky rare stars
twinkled like diamonds, dimned by the
splendid white lamp of the moon.
The black ramnartS ShSrn cut

staining the wet sidewalks with their
colors. Over the bastion the Prophet

why, Hide" he said, what on
earth are you hiding out here for?"
Hide" cried Yolette, coming up,
abe careful. my darling. Scheherazade
growled at me this morning"
Hide stood up and answered looking
down at the lion: IT am not afraid
She drew the lioness to her feet beside
her, then, without klancing at Yolette
or Bourke: Il shall take her to my
room. If you go in she won't be afraid"
Slowly she drew the honess toward
the house never looking up at her sis
ter or at Bourke until they reached the
door, There she met Bourke's puzzled
gaze, turned, smiled at her sister, and
passed into the house leading the cow
ering lioness.
The day passed quickly for Bourke.
He prowled around the ramparts by the
Point de Jour until luncheon, scribbling
notes and bits of half caught gossip
from the swarns of officers who were
watching the Prussians with a fascina-
ton approaching hypnotism. There was
not much to see a column Of smoke
here and there. nothing more, except
rare Uhlan, a tiny Speck on some dis
tant height The forts of the north
and east were silent, the forts of the
south were steadily cannonading the
distant woods, blue and hay under
the yelled sunshine. Now and then a
great gun beloved from the viaduct,
clouding the bastlons with billowy mist

parts, a colossal shape, up-tilted, print
ed clean back against the horizon.
Even the wind was subsiding now
leaving a clear, fresh odor of distant
winter in the air. The moon, too
sparkled with a wintry radiance; the
stars went out in its white luster.
On wall and pavement the etch-
Hardwood leaned from the window
ledge, scarcely breathing; for the beau
ty of the night was upon him and upon
his soul was a SPELL
He did not know it; he knelt heavily
in the moonlight, chin on clasped hands
and eyes dreaming. For him the breath
of war was far away; alarms, rumors,
the dull discomfort of expectancy, all
had vanished in this placid shadow
world, passionless. unreal as a pale,
sweet vision.
And so. pensive, dreaming, he rose
and moved about, unconscious that he
was dressing, unconscious why he
passed through the door and down the
dusky stairs, deeper deeper, into the
silent house. At last he stood before
a closed door. at which he had not
knocked. 1t opened silently, and he
went in.
Moonlight silvered everything The
white bed, the curtains clustered over
head, the polished faience Sainte, smil-
ing her set smile through the shadows;
but Hides hair, clouding brow and
neck, vefled her pale face in a shower
Of silk and gilt.
They did not speak; she stood silent
and white before the Sainte; he knelt
beside her, holding her hand against
his ewes.
All by itself the door swung softly to
and closed.
A clock licked through the silence;
after long time the weights slid,
creaking, and an hour struck. There
was an imperceptible movement of the
hand he held pressed to his eyes, a
soft stir of a family fragrant garment,
delicate as lace. When he stood up she
was waiting; he held her waist i'm
prisoned now, and her silky head; she
put both arms around his neck
When he passed again through the
door. the perfume of her lips upon his,
she sank before the corner where, in
the meshed moonlight. Sainte Hide of
Carhaix smiles. And there she lay,
faint with the sweetest happiness life
holds for maid or man.
AS for the man she loved, he went
biindly up the dusky stairs, cropping
for his comrades door. And he enter
ed and sat by his sleeping friend.

said more quietly. Don't you remember
meeting Speyer in the crowd when we
were watching the Tuileries? OF course
he saw us whel Hide and Yolette gave
up the cab to the empress. / suppose
he can annoy us if he tries, and l m sure
he's going to try
ITS curious reflected Bourke, "how
anxious he and Stauffer seem to be to
get us out Of the house. And their re
turning the other day 10 re-engage the
rooms is queer, too. What do you sup
pose they want?'
Hardwood rose suddenly and began
% walk up and down, hands clasped
behind his back Presently he halted
before his comrade, looking him square
ly in the eye.
do you know what 1 think? I be-
lfeve Speyer is a German spy
"Eh? spy" repeated Bourke,
blankly.
yes. spy, why did he enlist in a
Belleville battalion? Do war CORE
spondents do that? Why is he fawning
and fattering the Relleville revolution
lists? To get news for his miserable
German American sheet? Not much:
war news is more important to Ameri-
cans than a report of anarchist sQuab-
bles in the Sums of Paris. I'll tell you
why he's cringing to Buckhurst and
FiOurenS; he's q paid emlSSary OF Bis
1narck. hired to stir up internal strife
in Paris while the Germans pound the
forts to bits outside. And I'll bet you,
Cecil. that he never was anything but
a spy. What has he done for his paper
in New York.? Nothing. Its columns
are filled with stolen dispatches and
special work from all the other papers
Speyer is a spy; he has corrupted
Stauffer, too. AS for Buckhurst-I be-
lieve he's only a criminal who gives
his life to anarchy just now because
he believes there's something in it for
himself. That is my theory"
Bourke stood by the bed, eagerly at
tentive, acquiescing with mods and ges-
lures as Hardwood proceeded:
HE tried to stab me there in the
street when 1 was down: he had his
knee on my chest; if it hadn't been
fer the Mouse, I don't know-I don't

IN THE MOONLIGHT.

In THE MOONLIGHT
When Hardwood and Bourke entered
the rue d'Ypres. a. thin rain was fan
ing, driven by sudden little volieys of
wand that grew colder and more violent
as the rain thickened
They stood for a moment looking out
INTO the black void beyond the ram
parts There was nothing to see, not a
star, not a Sentry-nothing but culver
ing sheets of rain Slanting across dim
signal lamps set low on the bastions.
Bourke unlocked the door noselessly;
HARDWOOD followed him upstairs and
INTO his own bedroom; and, as he struck
a match and lighted the lamp, he felt
a sudden ease, a sense Of homecoming
something he had not known in
months. Bourke answered his unspoken
thoughts. ''Yes-it is very pleasant to
get back, Jim. I think I'll turn in di-
rectly.''
Hardwood sat down on the bed; his
glance wandered around the lamplit
room, resting finally on the windows.
Somebody has filed the window
frames with oiled paper" he said list
lessly. DO you suppose the Prophet
shattered the CLASP"
Probably" said Bourke.
The rain ratified on the oiled paper;
gust after gust set it cracking and
bullying inward. Bcurke started aim
lessly toward the door, halted, re-
turned and leaned on the footboard Of
the bed
What are you going to do?" he
asked YEARLY.
About Buckhurst?'
Yes"
81 don't know"
After a minute of silence Bourke
resumed: I'D cable in a moment if it
wasn't for the threat he made about
Yolette and Hide"
Harewood'S face grew red but he did
not look up.
General Trochr is a strange man."
continued Bourke. IF those black
guards should denounce Yolette and
Hide and bring a lot Of ruffians TO
swear to anything, who can tell what
might happen?"
. You mean that the governor might
expel them-under the law covering the
temporary expulsion of dissolute wo-
znen?' demanded HARDWOOD with an
effort
Yes" replied Bourke, that's what 1
mean"
Again silence ensued, broken at
length by Bourke.
''As for Buckhurst's threat to cut our
throats-of course, that bothers neither
of uS-at least, it wouldn't prevent our
cabling. But 1 shall not cable now
and run the risk of these two girls
No" said Hardwood, we cannot
cable" The he looked up, his face so
transformed with hate that Bourke in
voluntarily recoiled.
Cecil" he whispered, eff ever they
trouble Hide I'll kill them both-Iil
kill them both, when and where 1 cant"
Bourke did not reply. Gradually the
fierce hate faded from Harewood's face.
He rested his chin on his hand ewes
vacant, lips parted.

a Milo Farmers House Burned.

~ Last Sunday bachelor farmer
named Vanderheuf, living three and a
half miles south of Foreston on the
Princeton road, went to church and
when he returned he found only pile
of smoking cinders where his house
had stood. Some one at the home of
Mr.. George Deans, who lives about
half mile south of the Vanderheuf
place, noticed smoke arising from the
house. Mr.. Deans and Mr.. HI NAL
lette, W no was present, hurried to the
spot and found that the fire had made
such Roadway on the house that
nothing could be saved. A log barn
near the house also burned but neigh
bors succeeded $in removing the horses
harness and wagon from it before they
were injured. The house was built of
logs and was not very valuable, al
though Mr.. VANDERBILT lately repaired
and plastered it at considerable ex-
pense. He thinks the fire was caused
by a box of matches which he left on
one of the windows in the full heat of
the sun, which caused them to ignite,
and that the fire: reached some cloth
ing near by and was, communicated to
the house.

Fred Goulding has discarded the gun
and will no longer seek to intimidate

the power of music Fred has been

The Daughters of Rebekah gave
an elaborate dinner the Fourth on
Snodgrass hill to which they invited
all the Oddfellows in Camp Thomas.
We were busy breaking camp that day
so the boys in the Fourteenth were IN
able to attend. The Oddfellows have
also held meetings on this hill and
those who have attended report a very
enjoyable meeting. The spot is a very
historic one for it was here that the
gallant Second Minnesota did its most
memorable work. The spot is marked
by a splendid monument erected by
the State. There is another spot of
interest here and that's the house oc-
cupied by the Snodgrass family at the
time of the battle which still stands.
Quartermaster Spaulding informs us
that it is under strict guard butsif a
man is possessed Of a fair allowance of
beauty, the sentinefs will allow him to
go through the buildings. It might
be well to remark here that Dan found
no difficulty in gaining admission.
The Fourteenth is known as the
''bulls eye'' regiment of the Third
brigade. All our Snapshots are dis
tinguished from those of the other
regiments by a bulls eye of red broad
cloth on the front of their hats. The
bulls eye is two inches in diameter and
the boys wear the badge of distinction
very proudly. H. !

ally large crop was planted it must be
difficult for the people of the north to

no more plentiful now than then. 49, -

misery. What indeed is left of virtue
or happiness to the inebriate? Who
can follow him anywhere in society,
especially to the associations of domes-
tic life without being shocked at every
step? It is said that intemperance
does more to produce debauchery and
gambling than anything else in the
land. Remove the facilities for pro-
curing liquir and men will do without
it to the advancement of every inter-
est. This is also the case with tobacco
and opium. No one has natural ap-
petite for them, it is an acquired one.

thing were placed out of their way
that they might not be led into tempta-
