preparation for the autumn maneuvers,
which begin next Tuesday, $4,000 troops
are spreading over the countryside in
two armies; one is marching to the
eastward from here by various par
allied roads, while the other is march,
ing westward from Posen. 1t has been
raining all day long.
The general staff, which is the brains
of the German military organization,
once a year puts opposing armies into
the field, under what would be the
probable conditions in war, and notes
the result, especially in the higher
question of strategy. Each regiment
is exercised frequently in minor ma
neuvers in all weathers and under va
rious typographical conditions. but the
grand maneuvers, in which several en-
tire army corps are engaged, take place
one year in one part of the empire and
the next in some other location, and
are for the working out of fresh COM
binations on a great scale. The
operations now beginning will
be extended over a territory
which is, roughly speaking, 80 miles
wide and so miles long

The hostile army, the Blues, is pop
ularly assumed to be Russians 1t Is
tier and to be advancing. 1t Is COM
posed of the Fifth Corps and fractions
of other corps, the whole somewhat
less than $4,000 men strong, of which
$4,000 are infantry, 1900 cavalry. 1t
also comprises four regiments of field
artillery, detachments of horse artil-
| lery, machine guns, balloonists, pio-
neers, telegraphists and a commissary
department. The advance of the Blues
| is presumed to have crossed line
marked by the River Obra, a tributary
to the Warthe. and to be seeking TO
gain the LETT bank of the Oder and
possession of the railroad junction at
| Fra nkfort- on- the-Oder.
The defending army, known as the
Reds. is mdae up of the Third Army
Corps and the First Division of the
Guards. 1t is somewhat more than
10000 strong and is composed of $4,000
| infantrymen, 1000 cavalry, five regi-
ments of artillery and usual compile
ments OF aeronauts, telegraphists and
| pioneers.

The cavalry outposts of the two ar
mics are to come in touch Tuesday

the daughter postmisress for Yer

Standing in front of this strange post
office is a large post which marks the
boundary line, and it is said that one

and many thousands of dollars and no
little time were spent in establishing
the exact line again.

CHAPTER VII


1t seemed to Irene that she never
awoke properly TO life until she opened
her eyes in that bright, gay city of Paris,
where life is all festiyity and death seems
impossible
Sir Hubert had laden her with pres
enrs: he had taken her to the best shops
in Paris; he had lavished hundreds of
pounds on her dresses. She had satins
and yelvets and iurs. laces and silks
that many a duchess might have envied;
she had jewels and ornaments; he never
seemed tired of buying for her; he sell
dom came home without a valuable gift
Of some kind.
As she passed along the streets people
would turn again and again to look at
that wondrouS face. As she drove through
the Bots de Boulogne, every man who
passed her wondered who she was.
La belle Auglaise," they called her
and many hundreds of inquiries were
made as to who la belle Angiaise' was.
Her history seemed simple enough; she
was Mrs. Leigh, and she lived with her
husband. an English millionaire. il was
commonly supposed. at the Hotel de
Bourbon, close TO the Tuileries. one of
the finest hotels in Paris. That was all
that the most curious could learn about
her. The lovely Mrs. Leigh was fond
Of balls, fond Of the opera. enjoyed driv-
Ing out. had splendid taste in dress. ana
was altogether the ioyehest woman in
Paris.
After some quiet observation they be-
gan to perceive that, although Mr.. and
Mrs. Leigh went 10 nearly every public
bah. they We're never at private ones,
That although the carriage Of La belle
AngiaiSe" was always surrounded by
gentlemen. she had no lady friends.
Among their visitors 10 ladies came The
pretty silver card basket was filed with
cards. all belonging 10 gentlemen. oae
DAY she said 10 SIR Hubert:
You know a great many gentlemen in
Paris, Hubert. but 40 ladies How IS *

The PRACTICAL Poet.

He wrote sonnet TO her hair,
He said twas like the night,
All cleaning black, with here and there
A glow ot starry light.
Next day he read his lines again,
And stiflcd down curse
The maiden with the ebon hair
Had sent him back his verse.
Again he tried in purest rhyme
TO praise her lips and cheek;
He swore her Hips were rubies twain
Aye, rubies that conld speak.
He vowed her check was like the rose,
A damask pink so rare.
The maiden sent the sonnet back
You should have heard him swear.
What did the suiieless poet do?
He did not rave nor sigh,
But changed n line and sold the first
70 advertise hair dye.
He took the one about her cheek
And made powder ad.,
Then marked the page they were upon
And was the lady mad?
