A branch, shorn off from its parent
tree, crashed down upon the heroic
child and bore her to earth. She crawl
ed from beneath 1t, her shoulder bruised
and torn, and with sharp pains in her
ankle that told of a serious strain. She
could run no longer, but limping was
still possible, SO onward she limped.
At last the lawn was reached and
Nell felt a heavy hand descend upon
her aching shoulder.
Hold hard, there cried a voice
What in heavens name are you doing
here?"
The child looked up into a rough
bearded face, begrimed with powder
yet not unkindly.
The baby" she whispered, hoarsely;
I've come back for baby Hal
The bearded man let the sword which
he carried fall back into its sheath.
"Oh, you've come back for the baby
Come back through the shells and bull
lets, Ell? My girl, you're a regular
Joan of Arc!"
No, sir; I'm Confederate. AnG
please won't you help me to find baby?'
The big soldier caught Nell up in his
arms.
Why, your poor little foot's cut" he
cried; and your shoulders bleeding
too. This is awful
Don't mind my shoulder, Mr. Yam
kee. Let me find baby"
The Federal officer put his spare
hand to his mouth, by way of a speak
ing trumpet, and shouted in stentoriar
tones: Has-any-man-fou
baby?'
From the right came an answering
hail, and a soldier came running out o,
the darkness.
We found a colored girl and baby
over there, sir" he said, THE girl hat
been knocked down by some burning
timbers from the barn.
Two minutes later Baby Hal was COO
Ing, just as if nothing had happened
upon Nelps lacerated shoulder. Poor
Phoebe. badly though not dangerously
hurt, told how in flying blindly from
the Federals she had been struck ano
disabled by a falling beam.
And as the story spread among the
Federal soldiers they gathered arounC
Nell, cheering her so loudly that Aun
Drusilla, sitting disconsolately upon hel
stump in the woods, heard the uproal
and wondered what it meant
Not long had the honest old negress
to wonder; for presently there march
ed through the woods guard Of honor
surrounding the Federal officer who
carried both Nell and the baby in his
strong arms.
"Oh, chile! chile!' cried Aunt Drusills
as she gavelNell her very heartiest hug

Marlborough at Eckers1au.

His breast was all one blaze of stars, his
wrists were ruffied with lace,
The wind blew back his scented hair and
showed his splendid face;
The bullets snarled like angry Wasps, the
c91non thundered loud,
AS he drew his rein before our ranks, and
raised his hat and bowed;
with your permission, gentlemen Of the
English cavalry,
Myself will lead you to the charge-sound
trumpet, charge!' said he
And calm as in the hunting field he wheel
ed his chestnut round,
And all the line behind him leapt forward
with a bound.
Then when the fight was over, and Blen-
helm lost and won,
And England's greatest day went down in
triumph with the sun,
I see him as he bowed once more in an
Swer to our cheers
That splendid English gentleman, that
prince of cavaliers!
The town may talk it's head Off care
not who they tell,
The Duke his health in bumpers, and the
court may go to He'll!

What Peace Means to Russia.

One thing at least is absolutely GER
tain, and that Is that Russia is pro-
foundly desirous of keeping the peace
and is very far from being prepared to
wage war with either Germany or Eng
land. It will be a number of years be-
fore the Trans-Siberian Railway will
be nearly enough completed to be used
for transporting troops and supplies to
Corea, Northern China, or any of those
regions where there has been so much
friction between British and Russian
interests. 1t would be hopeless for the
Russian soldiers to attempt to cope on
the Chinese coasts with the English
ships. Russia has plenty Of men under
arms and could recruit still vaster
forces; but her resources are so unde-
yeloped that in a great war it would
be well-nigh impossible to transport or
supply large Russian armies, and in
such respects Germany is incomparably
superior. Russia has every reason for
desiring a long period of profound
peace. Her statesmen have observed
the progress of the United States, and
realized the fact that the material
greatness of this country is due to the
| immense development of the Missis-
SlPpA f0A1CS anu l14C AoA w CS(H Al illC
more than thirty years that have fol-
lowed the Civil War. The profound
object of Russia's policy is to build
railroads, open mines, bring vast
areas of wheat lands into cultivation,
and, in short, to build UP the nation
upon a basis of economic progress
and prosperity. This being true,
Russia would gladly obtain relief
| from the enormous pecuniary bur-
dens imposed upon her by the main
| tenance of her huge armies. She
needs the money for railroads and the
| agencies of peaceful development But
| she is the victim Of the prevailing mill
itary system Of Europe and considers
| it necessary to go armed If her neigh
| bors do the same. 1t has bzen very
much the European habit Of mind TO
regard Russia as the great menace to
| the worlds peace: but the Russians
take precisely the opposite view OF
their position, and are very far indeed
from wishing to provoke war. More
over, they are shrewd diplomats and
have scored great points of late years.
As matters stand, they have nothing
to gain and very much to lose by going
| to war. The new CZar will keep the
| peace.-American Monthly Review of
| Reviews.

worthy of the name, who did not aspire
to be the father and the grandfather of
healthy, capable children to hand down
his name and the fortune accumulated by
the sweat of his brow, from generation to
generation. There never was a wife fit to
bear that noble title, who did not wish to
wear womanhoods most glorious crown.
the seeptre of motherhood. Thousands
of welded couples, otherwise happy, fall
short OF wedlock's greatest happiness be-
cause they are ehildless. In the majority
OF cases this is because the wife, through
ignorance or neglect, suffers from weak
ness and disease of the organs distinctly
feminine. For women who suffer in this
way there is one great medicine that does
not fail to accomplish its purpose. 1t is
DR.. P1erce's Favorite Prescription. 1t acts
directly on the delicate organs concerned
and makes them strong healthy, vigorous,
virile and elastic. 1t aliays inflammation,
heals liberation. soothes pain and tones
the shattered nerves. 1t fits for wifehoad
and motherhood. 1t quickens and vitalizes
the distinctly feminine organism 1t ban
1shes the maladies of the eSpeetant months
and makes baby's introduction TO the world
easy and almost painless. 1t insures the
little newcomers health and nourishment
in plenty. 1t is the beat supportive tonic
for nursing mothers.
