Piled cheeks and rosebud mouth, of
which 80 often he had dreamed. In
trembling haste he crossed the street;
pushed through the crowd 10 where she
stood-alas! II was a dummy, in the
window Of dressmaker's shop
Keen was his disappointment, and
yet a thrill of triumph stirred his little
heart, for outwardly. in face and form
at least, IL was no other than his true
ideal. Enraptured, he stood there,
gazing upon the waxen face. until a
porter pulled the iron grating down
and the shop girls with jokes and
laughter drove him from his post. All
night he dreamed Of her; his ideal, his
"Annette;" and when the morning
came IL found him there again.
Circumstances thus far had governed
Jules career; they did so now. A fell
low countryman met him by chance,
found him employment in an engrav-
er's shop, and forthwith he settled
down, his shop companions for his only
friends and a constant devotion TO his
divinity of the plate glass window for
his end In life.
Late In the evening Jules Lemaitre
approached Mime. Montebello's shop
again TO bid his fair one "bonne mutt"
as he had promised. Jules had dined
well at the "diner de garcon;" his tie
was under one ear. his high hat tipped
recklessly back and his pose far from
steady as he stopped beneath the great,
white globe fizzing and spluttering
above the window Of the shop. The
variations in the intensity OF the cleo
trio current caused curious shadows 10
fit about the smiling face, and TO en-
amored Jules il looked more lovely and
lifelike than ever before.
"Ah, ma cherie!" he exclaimed, for
getting the little English that he knew
and dropping wholly into French, "if
only you could speak TO me, to tell me
that you know at least the depth Of
passion that l feel for you'll"
Was II a shadow more deep than
usual? Jules was sure be saw the rosy
lips tremble; the long, black lashes
culver. Yes! slowly her right hand was
raised; her ruby lips parted, disclos-
ing a row of pearly teeth; slowly she
stepped down from the window plat
form and, throwing about her shoulders
a black lace scarf passed through the
glass as though il were mist and laid
her hand upon jules arm.

In the Partisan accent Jules so loved 10
hear, ARE you not glad TO have me
come? For two long years, morning
and night, / have smiled down at you
and murmured words Of love. Tonight

then / am free--free for few short
hours Of happiness with you. And did
you not speak of a-petit souper, my
Jules?"
Many time had the little French
man prayed that the figure Of his love
might come 10 life and speak 10 him,
and now, in the realization Of his wish,
he was so astounded and confused that
he knew not whether he was awake or
dreamed. Furtlyely he pinched him
self; the pinch was real, and real the
gentle touch upon his arm. overcom-
ing with an effort his timidity and
summoning all his courage, he gallant
ly responded and led his charmer 10
the best French restaurant he knew.
The next few hours were 10 him an
ecstatlc dream. In the intervals OF
passionate address and sweet response,
he dimly realized that between him and
his loved one there lay a sumptuous
repast; that nimble walters flew about
TO do his bidding, and champagne corks
popped merrily-then, all too soon. he
stood once more before the plate glass
window in the deserted street, and his
Annette was whispering in his ear q
soft good night.
"Bonne mutt, mon Jules, adieu-and
that thou mayst forget me not, this
pledge | give TO thee" and speaking
thus she slipped upon the little finger
OF his ungloyed hand glistening ring.
Then, passing through the glass. she
threw from Oft her shoulders the light,

and slowly IL sank back 10 It's accus-

the Post from Tampa, Fla, says: At
ten o'clock Thursday night 1000 horses
and mules broke from their corrals and
stanpeded through the camps Of Gen.
Carpenters brigade. 1t was so dark
and the excitement was so great in the
District Of Columbia camp IL was impos-
sible to learn If any of the men were
hurt. The panic among the men was
terrible. Officers tried to get their com
panies into line, but the army Of wild
horses made that impossible. The rush
sounded like thunderstorm. The
guard hurried out, but il was useless,
as the animals were then rushing over
everything in their path. In half an
hour the camps had been sta mpeded
three times and there seemed TO be no
hope Of driving the beasts away from
the breach. Forty men were mounted
by II o'clock and they were able 20
check the rush some little or at least TO
steer the horses from the camp.

Two years before, Jules Lemaitre had
brought 10 America with him set OF
engraver's tools, thorough education
in his trade, lively imagination, and a
susceptible French heart. An orphan,
brought up in n suburb Of Paris by an
old aunt, who had given him his educa-
ton and in return had insisted upon
the most constant attendance and de-
voton, he had no companions OF his
own age-cxcepting those In the de
lightful books OF romance which he
bought while on his way TO and from
the Polytechnic. and devoured with
glowing imagination in his small cham
Der each night after his aunt had re-
tired.
Based on the highly coiored descrip-
tions OF the heroines OF these tales, he
had created for himself an ideal--a
sort of composite heroine, as II were;
and 10 himself, in his impulsiye French
way. had sworn solemn on h that he
would search the world over. until some
day he should meet with her and win
her for his own.
Small opportunity there was, In the
secluded life he led, for him TO meet
with any girl; but one day, before he
had quite reached his eighteenth year,
his aunt died, leaving him along with
her blessing the small house in which
they had lived. SO the young engrayer,
putting a weed on his hat in respectful
remembrance of his kind though stern
benefactress, sold the house, bought a
ticket to Hayre and New York, drew n
deep inspiration, and, whispering TO
himself: "Hlonsl" started forth with
no very well-dehned plans into the
world.
Jules life and training had made him
shy and timid. Longing for adventures
OF the most romantic type he lacked
the courage even to make acquaint-
ances. A week he spent, wandering
about New York alone, gazing on the
rushing throngs and into the windows
of the shops, sore troubled 70 know how
best TO begin his search FOR Her. And
then, on bustling Twenty-third street,
beyond n crowd Of shoppers, he caught
one day glimpse of slight form that
made his heart leap up into his throat.
