one?" the man hurriedly asked. The
Prussians are on my track"
Marie had heard those stories of the
Prussians and her heart sank with fear
at the thought OF facing such monsters.
Nevertheless she showed herself
brave little woman. For an instant she
glanced helplessly around the room.
Truly there were few hiding places in
the little cottage. Then her eyes fell
on the large baking oven and her busy
little brain found way out OF the DIFF
ficulty. She quickly babe the franc
tireur get inside the oven and then she
filed 1t with the loose faggots.
Scarcely was her work finished when
she heard loud knocking on the door
and a Prussian officer entered. He
stopped, abashed, when he saw only
the little maid before him. Perhaps
the thought Of some little girl that he
had left behind IN the fatherlsnd came
to his mind, for the look In his eyes
was quite gentle and his voice trembled
In spite of himself when he spoke.

maid, where he Is
In the moment while she was wait
ing for him TO speak Marie had had
time to collect her wits and to reflect
that the man did not look like such a
monster after all. Now she replied
readily:
"a man? o. yes, a soldier just came
in here and left that" pointing to al
old musket of her fathers which stood
in the corner OF the room. but he is
gone now" she added.
She carefully related to the Prussians
how the franc-tireur had taken the patti
that led from the rear of the cottag,
to the forest.
The girl answered his questions 81
readily that it was hard for the officers
to suspect her of deceiving him, but h,

SLAMS had taken, to join his men at their
meeting place In the forest.
Marie was the pride of her parents
and the heroine of the town when her
story was made known. And in the
depths OF the forest, when the franc
tireur gathered about their campfire
and their leader told OF his narrow es-
cape and the bravery of the little peas
ant girl, each man lifted his canteen
and enthusiastically drank To the
health and prosperity of Marie Duret.
The landlady OF the little vine-cov-
cred inn at Bois-leDuc tells this story
to every stranger who visits the place.
And II one is inquisitive enough to ask
what afterward became OF the franc

closets and cupboards and rummaged

opened the oven door. and glanced in.
Marie's heart almost ceased beating,
but she gave no sign OF her alarm. See
ing nothing but the heap OF faggots the
man closed the door. Marie could hard

it seemed in her own mind that she

One afternoon, shortly after the sec
ond visit of the Prussians to Bois-le-
Due. little Marie Duret was alone in
her parents cottage while they were
at work in the fields. Marie was
comely little maiden, a dark-eyed, nut
brown peasant girl, and though not
dozen summers had passed over her
head, she was a neat, thorough going
little housewife. Although her home
stood quite apart from the other cot
tages and not far from the great forest,
so that it could scarcely be called part
of Bois-le- Due at all, Marie had become
so accustomed to playing the mistress
for whole day at a time that she did
not in the least mind the loneliness.
To-day she had set the house in or
der, had swept the floor and had piled
beside the large brick oven heap Of
faggots against the mOrrOw's baking.
All her tasks completed, Marie took
possession of a low chair and began
sedately to amuse herself with a large
rag doll, her one playmate and insep-
arabic companion.
Now, it happened that on this very
morning Captain Charles, the franc
tireur, having gone out on a reconnoit-
ering expedition, had been cut off from
his men by half dozen Prussian cav
alrymen, and had to run for his life
The Duret cottage was the only one
near him, and so, while Marie sat talk
ing to her doll, the door was suddenly
burst open and the soldier rushed in
Marie knew at once that 1t was Cap
tain Charles, for she had often seen hin
about the village, and as she had hearC
of his brave deeds In aid Of the French
she was not In the least frightened.
"Where canst thou hide me, httl'

tireur to burn his cottage as a lesson
to him and a warning to all others, but
Maries winsOme manner had touched
the officers heart and the questioner
received a curt, almost savage NO"
Marie watched the Prussians ride
away, and when they were well out Of
sight, she let Captain Charles out of
his narrow Kidding place. He had
heard all that passed I'm the cottage.
and he kissed Marie and called her a
brave girl. Then he departed by the
road opposite to that which the Prus-

lPrussians would ever invade French

But one fine summer morning Bois-le-
Duo was startled by sound of martial
music and a body OF Prussian soldiers
marched through the town. Up the hill
went the Prussians, and there before
the old chateau the order to halt was
given. The old soldier had seen their
coming and had prepared, according to
his own Ideas, to receive them. From
an upper window waved the colors of
France, and as one of the Prussian Of
ficers started to enter the house, to
learn the meaning of this hostile dis
play, he was met by the old man, who
had dressed himself in his ancient uni
form and stood, sword in hand. in the
center OF the room.

officer smiled at the thought of a sword

IN peace, had not an overzealous soldier
thinking that his officer was in danger
rushed in and bayoneted the old man
as he stood.
The mistake was unfortunate, but
the Prussian command could not afford
to waste time over a single dead French
man. The house was fired; the soldier:
marched on, and by the time the real
of the column disappeared over thu

ashes was left on the spot where thu

But the boy Charles, standing ther'
beside the ashes of his father swore t.

that moment he was a man, he had

When a father writes that yours lis the

allow something for seeming extrava-
gance in the statement if you know that
the medicine SO praised, cured a loved
daughter of disease and restored to her
he eyesight nearly lost. The best med
icine in the world for you is the medicine
better. No medicine can do more than
cure. That is why John S. Goode, Of
