dis1nissing his men. Now he has turned
around and is speaking to the English
man, that would-be Doctor Orlopp.
Let me help you through, mademoiselle.
My God! what's that though? No,
no, you cannot go! Something has hap
pened! Please to stand back, mademoi-
selle! You must not see him! "
Everyone in the crowd heard the rife
shot-none more clearly than Dolores.
At the first people believed that soldier
had fired off his piece by accident; but
presently some one cried out that a
trooper had shot Captain Gabriel, and
that he lay dying upon the pavement.
Dolores would hear no more. Beseech-
ing them, with outstretched hands, to let
her pass, she forced her way through the
astonished people and went to the succor
of her friend
1t was scene bizarre enough to satisfy
even the theatrical people of Paris
There near the curb lay Gabriel the
artist, his head couched upon the English
doctors arm. Soldiers of all ranks had
grouped themselves around the stricken
man. The assassin, one of that COM
pany which Gabriel had aogged for cow
ardice yesterday had been caught by
couple of 1usty sergeants, and stood
pale and aghast, before the threats and
curses heaped upon him. When Dolores
appeared among these men, they made
way for her readily She knelt at Ed
mund Orlopp's side; but did not speak
word. Gabriel himself lay unconscious,
apparently dead. Not in vain, one
would have said, had he painted the
picture of his dream.
They carried the wounded man to his
studio on the Avenue de Jena and laid
him upon the sofa, within a few feet of
the picture that had impressed them so
greatly yesterday. The veil had fallen
from the canvas, and all its dreadful

Gabriel did not answer him and he rode
away to succor such of the wounded as the
ambulance staff had not yet been able to
see The battle still ragged dstantly upon
the plateau of La Bergerie and in the
woods of Buzenval But Orlopp was
convinced that Gabriels men would not
go into action again that day And SO
much" said he, for the folly they call
premonition.'
1t would be something, after all, to
ride into Paris tomorrow and tell Dolores
that all had gone well with the man they
both regarded with SO much affection.

to himself, land show it to all the fools
who believe in hays tales
The sortie of Buzenva1 had failed.
Paris heard the news the afternoon of
the second day, and heard it with resig-
nation. Everyone knew that this was
the last attempt. The wits remembered
General Ducrot's oath, and they asked
each other as the hours went by how
that amiable man, who undoubtedly had
a lions courage, would excuse himself
for being alive when SO many had per-
ished. None could supply the answer;
but many were convinced that the Cen
eral would acquit himself nobly
None heard the news of the failure
with nobler submission to destiny than
Dolores NORTON. So many of her friends
had gone to Buzenval that she could not
help but ask how many would return.
True, Orlopp had sent her a note from
the field last night, laughing at all their
doubts and fears, and assuring her that
he and Gabriel were as well as men could
be- who slept twenty in a row upon the
floor of mill. The letter she welcomed;
but the dawn brought a new memory
of the visit to Gabriels studio and the
yelled canvas that spoke SO eloquently
of death. No courage of her wisdom
could Danish the impression of evil i'm
pending and of a part which she must
play il it. When they told her that the
Prussians were being driven back all
along the line, she scarcely heard them
a later report, in which Frances mis-
fortunes were honestly admitted, seemed
to attune itself naturally to her mood
1t was just as though some unseen hand
compelled her to leave her house and 90
to the help of a man a dream had doomed
She must save Gabriel Sordelli How
or by what means, she knew not; but
shortly before dusk the afternoon of the
second day the same impulse sent her
toward the Porte Maillot, and she stood
there, one of a patient, eXpectant crowd,
while the regiments marched in and the
whole story of the rout vas told
What sea of woebegone figures

STEAMSHIP LINE
First Vessel to San Pedro in
February

Wednesdays Los Angeles Times says:
J. Flood, general manager OF the new
steamship line which is to ply between
San Pedro and the Orient, with the
backing OF the Salt Lake railroad, is ex-
pected soon to return from New York,
coming to the Coast in ample time to
meet the first steamer over the new
route, which is scheduled to arrive from
the )rient in February.
This steamer will carry about 5000
ton II freight, the greater part OF which
already has been contracted to be hauled
over the Salt Lake, and to be turned
over to its connecting lines for delivery
throughout the East.
Ostensiblv the China and Java Export
Company, a corporation having offices
i'm San Francisco and London, is back Of
the enterprise, but as told by The Times
recently, it has the backing of the salt
Lake railway, and behind this the direct
encouragement OF Senator Clark himself.
This company Is already plying a
string Of four or five steamers between
Calcutta and Lontlon and san Fran
cisco, and has wellaestablshed connec-
tions in the Orient. 1t is proposed to
put one of their steamers for the san

cOtdance with the report of this expert" I"
At the conclusion of this straightfor-
ward statement, Mr.. Nesbitt said, Here
is the money" and laid it on the table
in gold pieces and grecnbacks.
The Age is informed that the bonds
men of II. J. Goodrich will make good
his shortage, believing that he, also, is
innocent of intentional wrongdOing. His
500 shortage a Clerk, which il out
lawed, will be paid by his soii, the
present Clerk and Treasurer.
The Age has never believed that either
of these gentlemen would deliberately
steal the funds Of the county and has
always attributed the unfortunate con-
ditions to negligence and carelessness.
The report of Mr.. Moore and the
amount of the shortage seem to bear
out this contention.
The guilt or innocence Of Geo. Sawyer,
the former deputy who is said to be re-
sponsible for portion of the shortage,
will have to be established when his
case comes up under the Indictment Is
sued by the grand jury. The indict-
ment against II. j Goodrich will also
have tn be tried.
