1t was full dark when he opened his
ewes, and the fire had burned low in the
CRATE For a little while he remained
unconscious of his environment-then
almost with a start he realized it. Some
thing had touched his hand, so gently,
so softly, that feather might have been
brushed against it. And vet to a man
walked from sleep with all the tales of
the Chateau DelaCroix in his ears, the
fact was a fearsOme thing enough. He
started up almost wildly and cried:
Who is it? Who is there?" Not a
sound answered him. y frebrand
snatched from the CRATE appeared to
show him an empty room. He put
down the brand and listened intently
The voice that he heard now was unmis-
taxable His friends the Frenchmen
had seen the light and were firing upon
the chateau
Orlopp had expected this; but the wild
bullets excited no other feeling than one
of derisiOn. His first act was to open a
tapestry screen, unharmed during the
siege, and to fend the fire with it. Then

Hiss Jessie hartmann of Sharon,

recently exnIuIted an amount of sense
and heToism that few older people
would be capable of. She and her
father were alone one day in their
home and Mr.. hartmann was cutting
wood His ak slipped and he severed
an artery in his foot. His daughter
had learned how to apply tOurniquet
at school but Mr.. hartmann was so
Heshy that she knew she could not
twist bandage tight enough to stop
the flow of blood, The patient could
give her no help, as he had tainted.
but she thought of lother plan and
quickly executed 1t. Cutting off the
shoe and stocking and trousers to the
knee. she sci the foot into a twelve
gallon stone jar on about three inches
of -four. Then she filled the jar with
tioEr and pressed II down with a thick

once, for the blood could not penetrate

doctor could be secured When he

VAN LEER POLK TELLS OF india

Van Leer Polk, for four years Consul
General at Calcutta during the last
term of President Cleveland, is at the
New Willard while in Washington on
private business. He is now in busI-
ness in New York. Last night he com
mented on the future of the people of
India. There are 300 900 900 of them.
and they are fol the most part passive
and easily ruled by the English, who
preserve perfect order among them, -
he said. Upon the mountains the
rarified phere seems to make
them holder and more intrepid, but
they are not dangerous or threatening
at any stage. Whole peoples and
tribes live practically apart. The
Brahmins ana the Mohammedans do
not mingle, but there is no trouble be-
tween them. 50 far as any outward
antagonlsm is concerned.
1.-THE English Government has not
been in serious danger of attack from
Russian on the north of India, though
Russia has made advances at different
times in Persia and Afghanistan. Now
that Russia has been woTsted by Japan,
the danger from that source will be
nil, and the sway of the British will
remain untIanmeled for many years
probably. One of the most striking
things In India is the diveIgency of
tue burial customs. Many bury under
the ground, while others have regular
and many take the bodies
to the edge of the river and place
them on pyIes of wood to he consumed
there. Washington Post, Aug %.

A TRIBUTE

A rosy light was shedding soft beauty
DER the world. A loving languor was
hushlng the day into repose-tendel
twilight, with crimson cheek, leaned or

with folded pinions had gone to sum
Der in the dark ened woods sudden
starred heaven smiled as though no il
could happen in so sweet an hour, when
there came message, like lightning
fash, bearing the chilling breath of woe,
"Annie Horne Fry is dead" In an
guish | cried:-
"Great God! how could Thy vengeance
fall 50 bitterly upon my friend!
How could Thy hand that gave such
charms blast them AGAIN."
Her charm was that sweet ornamen
which truth gives the face, as fragrance
does to the flower. Love, sweetness,
goodness, shone in her person, and be-
hind her unblemished loneliness was a
higher spiritual order, powerful, deep
and resistless. Kindly light beamed
through every feature, as the glorious
sun through cloudless sky. A heart
more loving, trusty, and loyal never pull
stated in the human breast. Although
the icy hand of Death has touched and
chilled that Christian heart of Annie s,
that had loved, gladdened and comforted
all with whom she walked-her life
beautiful and brief as day dream,
quenched in unexpected night, shall not
be forgotten as long as reason reigns in
the dome of thought 1t was my privi
lege TO claim dear Annie as my friend
from her early childhood; and | unhesi

from which angels gather half their

shades of grief, thank our generous
Father for having lent to earth for
awhile dear Annie. Her pure, unfair
nshed love for her devoted and godly
mother, for her gentle, loving husband,
and her bright, atfectlOnate children,
flung halo of happiness around her
home which made it haven of harmo-
ny ard peace, where friends loved to
gather. and where
Angels find a resting place.
When bearing blessings they descend to
earth.
Ruthless Time will some day rend the
veil that hides the deep that all must
cross. 'Tis Natures ordination that
