For some moments there was silence
in the room. Goupart, who was very
pale, but whose lips were firmly COM
pressed, was the first to break it.
How long ago was it that you found
the lady?" he asked. t%,. -

''St. Julien" cried the youth, turn .ng
to the old man, II will away at Once
and seek her, and as soon as she is able
she shall be with you. Tony shall go
with me-"
A satanic smile dwelt upon Simon's
features as Goupart ceased speaking, and
in tone of the same nature he said: g.

sieur st. Denis. | assure you | should
not have left Louise, had not seen her
in the care of those who will be faithful.
She has her own servants to attend her"
"Her own servants" uttered Goupart,
changing color.
Yes, monsieur"
"But Goupart had better go down, ST.
mon, and come home with her." suggested
the old man.
Excuse me-" answered Lobois, IF
object to that. Monsieur st. Denis is not
just the man that I should select as an
escort for my wifer'
Goupart st. Denis started half up from
his seat, and then sank back like man
who has received a shot through the
heart. His face was deadly pale, and
hiS hands nj,
"Your white" gasped the old man,
starting up and taking a step towards his
nephew.
Yes, my dear father" Lobois replied.
Il am the happy man. The sweet child
has accepted me as her husband. And
why should she not? She owed her very
life to me, and in gratitude she rewarded
me with her hand"
But not yet, Simon! You are not mar
ried?"
Most assuredly we are"
"No, no; that is impossible! Louise
would never have done"
Hold, sir! We will have no argument
about it. Here is the document that will
satisfy you"
Thus speaking, Simon took paper
handed to the marquis. 1t was a legal
certifcate-an attested copy of the rec
ord-bearing the seal and signature of
the colonial clerk, and vouching for the
legal marriage of Simon Lobois and
Louise st. Julien. The old man read it.
and then, with deep groan, the paper
fell from his hand. Qui,k as thought,
Goupart picked it up. The hope had
flashed upon his mind that the document
might be forgery; but as his eye rested
upon it, the hope passed away, for he
knew it was a legal transcript of the rec
ord. The paper dropped from his hand.

thing had come with thunder-crash up
on him, and for the moment he was I'M
able to speak. But one look into the face
Of Lobois started his heart to life again.

the boys Of the Eighth Wisconsin In
fantry to adopt Old Abe, the celebrated
war eagle, as their mascot in the civil
war. Abe's public career began in
1861. He had the true spirit the poets
sung Of. Perched on his stick, Abe
fearlessly watched the horrors of twen-
ty-seven severe battles and as many
skirmishes. When his company was
mustered out the eagle entered civil
life with the grace he had shown in
war. He was exhibited through the
country at soldiers reunions, attended
the sanitary fair at Chicago, occupied
a prominent place at the Philadelphia
centennial, and was the means of rails
ing funds for many a good cause.
Abe gave the alarm of fire at the
Capitol, which broke out near his cage,
and when he was rescued it was found
the smoke had injured his lungs. He
died March 26, 1881, and his body,
handsomely mounted, is an object of
great curiosity in the War Museum at
Madison. Wis.

A REMARKABLE OLD WOMAN.

Bereft of Three Senses, Her Life IL
Still Full of Sunshine.
A most remarkable woman is Miss
Lucy Reed, of Dandy, VT, who, al
though deaf, dumb and blind, leads a
useful and cheerful existence. Dandy
is a quiet little village in the heart Of
the Green Mountains. There for sew
enty-siX years Miss Reed has lived.
During sixty-flve years she has been
In her present plight. At the age Of
10 she suffered from scarlet fever,
which left her deaf. Loss of speech
soon followed, and a year later the
added misfortune Of loss Of sight was
visited upon her. But the little body
did not despair. She rapidly learned
to do all sorts Of useful things about
the house. She darned the stockings,
mended the clothing and even made
new garments. She evinced a passion
for making patchwork quilts, In which
she became very expert.
The old woman cuts out the blocks
after, various patterns which she de-
vises herself, selects the colors by the
sense of taste or smell, and rarely errs
in the selection Of the proper shade.
She selects her own threads and
threads her own needles with her
tongue. 1t is said that her patchwork
quilts are as neatly and as attractive
ly made as any in that part of the
country. She also makes great quanti-
ties Of knit socks, which are sold for
her. The busy fingers are never idle
for moment She Is very cheerful
and extraordinarily fond Of children.
Another sort of work which inter
ests the blind woman Is the making
of pretty and tastefully arranged box
es out of cigar-boX wood, covered out
side with plush and inside with satin.
She evinces great taste in the making
OF this sort of work and her boxes
bring good prices at the county fairs,
All the money she makes by the sale
OF her handiwork Miss Reed uses in
charity. for she is member of a we'll
TODD family.

STORY OF OLD ABE, THE WAR EAGLE.

For centuries the eagle has been the
emblem Of liberty, the inspiration OF
poets and the terror Of his feathered
friends. The king Of birds has fur
nished the story writer with count
less incidents, from aerial battles to
child stealing. One of Victor Hugos
greatest poems begins: "L'aigle-c'est
lie genie-Oiseau de la tempete, qui do
mont lie plus haut cherche lie plus haut
faite." The poet parallels the struggles
Of genius with the battle Of the eagle
for existence, till both spread their
wings in the plenitude Of power.
These are the fanciful ways Of look
ing at the bird of freedom, and it was
doubtless similar ideas that induced
