JACK Tilton and had run across
Mere Barbizon on one of our painting
trips through Normandy in early Nav.
and now 1t was late June, and we still
fingered under her clean, but other

by the fascination that this particular
part of Normandy always has and al.
ways will have for painter folk.
Nor were we partial to Grisette. the
huge gray cat that had-so she
averred-become the bane of Mere
Barbizon's existence. Once she had
whisked her tail across a study of
coast which l thought particularly
hne, and which had some idea of
sehuinS 10 the salon, and once she had
played havoc with Jacks brushes. No.
we would have no reason to regret
Grisette. but we wanted to see fair
play Your French peasant, has a
heart of flint at times, and Mere Bar
bizon was no exception, as we had
found out on more than one occasion.
Jack, who was lazily cleaning his
brushes, looked over his shoulder at
this point, and said between the teeth
that held his pipe: See here. Mere
Barbizon. I'll get rid of that fat ras-
cal for you. This very night, after

"Oh, I'd drown her" answered Jack
carelessly. "A good big bag, a little
coaxing, and Wen have her fast
enough. Then We'll row out to the
nets, you and l. and drop her over
board. Adleu, Grisette! See?"
"Bien!" muttered Mere Barbizon
Il go at once TO find the bag"
1t was growing dark when Jack

shoulder and followed by Mere Bar.

er, marched down to the beach and

Barbizon, where you can watch to
see that Grisette plays no more tricks

Silently we pulled out upon the ST.

and growing grayer with the advanc.
ing dark. Now and then a sigh broke
from Mere Barbizon, but whether, at
the beauty of the night or as prelimi-
nary to the sad rite about to be per-
formed, it was impossible to tell. Her
wrinkled chin was 'huddled in her
hands, her eyes were fixed on the
bag at her feet. If she had not been
ashamed to show emotion over a crea-
ture that she herself had condemned
to death | think she would have given
poor Grisette at least farewell pat.
Presently Jack stopped rowing and
pulled in his oars. The time and

dropped it heavily over the boats side

DEAR CoMRADEs-The bill to retire
all surviving volunteer officers who
served in the army, navy and marines
during the late Civil war is now before
Congress. 1t has many friends, both in
the House and Senate, and is receiving
the vigorous support of ex officers in
the army and citizens all over this
country. General Raum, who has
charge of the matter in Washington,
writes me that the prospect of its pas
sage at this session of Congress is very
encouraging. One paragraph from
General Raum's letter is of particular
interest to each and every man in
Maine who held CON emission in the
Union army during the late Civil war.
1t is as follows:
eve are now called upon to furnish
for the information of the committees
a statement of the number of surviy-
ing officers of the volunteer army, Lazy
and marines, of the Union, who are
eligible to the provisions OF the bill,
classified according to rank and age, to
enable three committees to make all
estimate of the cost of the measure, SO
that the facts can be reported to the
two houses of Congress.
1t is necessary for the said officers to
comply with the above literally. In
view OF the fact that since the close of
the war our ranks have been constant
" depleted until there are but COM
paratively few of US left. it is very
difficult to find and communicate with
them. The adjutant generals report
from 81 to 81 is of little value in this
undertaking. Therefore | shall ask all
the newspapers in this State to publish
this letter as favor to the officers who
are living, whose gratitude Will be their
only recompenae. | hope by this
method to reach most of the surviving
officers and | would request each and
every one of them t. write me at once,
giving his name, residence, rank and
age, so that | can communicate with
him.
A compliance with this request on
the part of the newspaper press OF the
State will confer great favor on many
deserving officers and many citizens as
well. and an Immediate compliance on
the part of such officers with my re-
quest will hasten the accomplishment
of this meritorious measure, which hes
very near to the heart OF all. 1t VIII
materially aid in giving you, without
delay, the honors which your great sef-
| vices to your country SO richly merit,
and perhaps relieve you for the lew re-
naming years that you have to spend
from carking care.
Yours sincerely,
JOHN c. COBB, Secretary.
