hensively, as the sergeant in command
stood listening to woman who had
guided him and his men to their pres
ent 'halting-place.
I'm there you will find them" she
said, in a dull, apathetic way, pointing
to the door; "and with them is the
dead body of their mother. or whoever
she was"
The sergeant thanked her; and.
after bidding his soldiers to stand
where they were, he went alone into
the house, the wretched occupants of
which shrank away from him.
The bench upon which lay Margot
stood in far corner of the room: and
near it, on the floor, Jean was
stretched asleep, with Pierre seated
beside him, his arms across his drawn
up knees, and his head sunk upon
them.
He, too, appeared to be sleeping.
But at the sound of the soldiers voice
he raised his head to look at him
while sullen light of grief showed
for an instant in his heavy eyes. This,
however, softened into recognition. as
he heard the kindly tone and words.
"Ah, Pierre, am glad to have found
you"
1t was Murier who said this: and
his dark face was full of pity as, after
glancing at the bench, he added. az
have been sent here to find you,
and"
He stopped; for Jean, now awake
sat up and stared at him.
Good morning, young m'sieur. And
/ regret It's so truly other than a good
morning" said Murier, nodding. and
smiling grimly. as he looked down into
the white face and dark circled eyes.
Jean, making no reply, rose to his
feet, staggering as he did so.
Are you hurt, young m'sieur?" In.
CURED the soldier anxiously. "Or
either of you injured in any way?"
And he turned to Pierre, who also
'had risen, and stood nearest him.
"Hurt?" repeated the peasant lad.
Aye, most sorely-in our hearts"
With this he drew the cover from
what lay upon the bench.
Poor dame!" muttered Murier. his
eyes resting upon the calm white face.
The devil himself was unclaimed last
night; and he spared neither the
strong nor the weak. Poor dame-the
saints rest her kind soul!"

was happening about him, had been

"Hark to the wind-how 1t pipes!
Sacre! What STORM" exclaimed
Pierre, roysing again from his book.
as there came dash of rain upon the
windows, while blast roared over the
cottage and sent brisk puff down the
chimney.
"'Tis indeed dreadful Storm" Mar
got agreed, as she now drew her wheel
farther away from the fireplace. But
there is one good thing to it,"
What good can there be in such
storm as this?" queried Jean, who
was hoping it had not reached far
enough westward to affect the comfort
of her whose beautiful face was SO
often in his thoughts.
''It will put stop to the bloodshed
for time at least. The best and
fight in such weather as this" replied
Margot, showing rare ignorance of
facts.
Little would they heed, so that it
did not wet their powder" asserted
Jean, assuming an air OF superior wis.
dom.
She looked at him thoughtfully for
a moment before she said, in a voice
whose yearning seemed tinged with
hope, "If thou'lt grow up to be a good
man, Jean, thou'lt some day make
brave soldier"
"One can be brave without being
good" answered the boy, his natural
waywardness asserting itself, although
he met her earnest eyes smilingly.
"Your little colonel, whom we all
love-he has the bravery mean.
Surely thou must own tbs well to be
such a man." she insisted.
AYE" the boy said with a defiant
smile; ''but will be more like Laro."
"Laro!" Margot repeated, her pa
tience now giving place to anger. "The
saints keep us from living to see thee
grow to be such a villain as Laro!
Dost know, Jean, these days it seems
to me thou'rt like a soul between
Heaven and He'll. The man we all
love is thy good angel-Laro is thy
bad one; and betwixt the two art thou
this night. feel it's for thee to say
which of them shall lead thee to thy
future"
Never mind Laro tonight" he re-
piled, stroNing her cheek lovingly.
HE is now faroff over the seas, and
may never again see France nor |
see him"

Spanish Deputy Assaulted for Being
Too Critical.

Madrid-As the royal cortege was
passing the chamber of deputies a
nephew of General Prlmo-Rivera, the
former commander of the Spanish
troops in the philippine islands, saw
agely assaulted Deputy S6giano for
criticising acts of Spanish generals in
Cuba and the Philippines. Senor Sc
giano was knocked down and lost two
of his teeth.
The assault followed united declara-
tions upon the part Of Generals Ri
vera, Weyler, Dianco, Polavieia and
Lanares. denying the charges of ir-
regularity in Cuba and the Philippines.
General Rivera announced that he
would resign from the army unless
the government defended the generals
against the charges, and General
Weyler declared he intended to take
their defense into his own hands. Ri
vera's nephew thereupon determined
to publicly assault Deputy Sogiano,
who was chiefly responsible for the
criticisms.
