sions the savages showed the utmost
reluctance to attack a fortified place,
Madeleine was we'll aware that in the
darkness of the storm they could easily
scale the palisade without detection,
and would undoubtedly try to make the
best of so favorable an opportunity.
Her only hope was that they might be
deceived as to the strength of the gar
rison. If they believed the fort we'll de-
Tended they would never allow them
selves to be caught in trap. She must
Dstrain every nerve, then, to keep up the
appearance of numbers.
Laviolette took his place on one of
the bastions. Little Alexander was
placed at another, armed with a drum
in addition to his musket. Louis, who
was two years older, took his place
also with a gun. La Bonte was to keep
guard at the entrance of the block
house, with horn slung over his
shoulder, ready to sound an alarm. The
young commander stationed herself at
the remaining outermost bastion, urg-
ing her sentinels to call back and forth
at frequent intervals.
The hours dragged on slowly in the
cold and wet, but the watchers stood
well to their duty. Just after midnight
Madeleine, peering earnestly through
the darkness, discerned a moving some
thing outlined against the now softly
falling snow, and soon two stealthy fig
ures were distinctly visible close to the
fort. Without waiting to discover their
purpose, Madeleine boldly fired her
musket the prearranged signal, where
at the drum instantly beat a loud tat
too. Louis and Laviolette discharged
their guns, the trumpet from the block
house responded with loud blast. The
clatter was continued for some mo-
ha their
din to watch and wait. All was quiet,
and no sign appeared of the shadowy
figures The night wore on and an
other day and night of anxious watch
ing followed. On the third day La
Monnerie, who had heard of the attack
at Vercheres, and was anxious not to
lose so important post, arrived with
forty men.
Madeleine, at the first sight of her
countrymen, sprang from the bastion
and ran joyously to meet them, not for
getting, even in her assurance of safety
to leave sentinels at the gate. Mon
sieur, l surrender my arms, she said,
saluting La Monnerie, and then drop
ping a courtesy as she smiled up into
his face. They are in good hands.
accept no surrender, Mademoiselle,
replied the officer returning her courte-
sy with a salute given in as grand a
manner as if she had been punctlllous
old Count Frontenac himself.
The soldiers found no words to ex-
press their admiration as they saw the
young sentinels at the gates, and per-
feet order everywhere. Later they
learned that on the night of the 22nd
the Iroquois had planned an attack on
the fort but had desisted because their
scouts had found the fort full of SOL
diers. La Monnerie laughed heartily
at the story of Medicines mode OF de-
Tense, then turning to her he sald:
"Mademoiselle, our good governor,
Seigneur Frontenac, may laugh in the
face of the Iroquois and their friends

turn captains and boys become sentrles

THREE MONTHS IN EUROPE.
Aid. Thomas at Home After Visiting
England and the Continent.

England and the Continent.
Alderman D. r. Thomas has returned
to Savannah after an absence of three
months spent chiefly in Europe. On the
trip over and back to New York he was
accompanied by his daughter. Miss
Thomas, for the benefit of whose health
the tour was made. Miss Thomas is
now in Maine and will not return to
Savannah until cold weather.
Mr.. and Miss Thomas went first to
Plymouth, England, and after few
days there and visiting number of
the smaller Devonshire towns, they
went to Shanklin, Isle of Wight, where
a stay of a little over three weeks
was made. From Shanklin many pleas
ant excursions were made both by
coach and by boat and included among
them a visit to Cowes and to the vi
cinity of Osborne. A week was spent
In London where visits were paid to
such famous places as Westminster
Abbey, London Tower, the Albert
Memorial and the Royal Museum.
From England a visit was paid to
Hamburg, thence up the Baltic to
Stockholm, where two days were spent
in sightseeing before the return trip
TO Hamburg was begun. Alderman
Thomas said that he had made no eff
fort to acquaint himself with the par
ticulars of political or financial con-
ditions in the countries that he visited,
but speaking generally Englishmen
seemed to be Disguised with the length
Of the Boer war, and that their feel

said, seems to be passing through a
