 The other did not answer; only i'm patiently moved his injured arm and, regarding him. the down-turned, dark countenance, the knit brows, quickly the priest changed the subject of con versation.
 In the large room some one began to play, and before the fire. where now the birds were turning and the serving-lad with a long spoon was basting, the dark-browed girl started to dance. At the side of the hearth old Pier"e smoked stolidly, gazed at the coal. and perhaps of the past. and dangers he had himself encountered, or of the present, and his ships scattered-where? ?-on profit able, if precarious errands.

The Soothing of the Sea.

 "I have concluded to deal lenient- ly with you said the Governor; set you free!' I could not believe"
 Alone in the little chamber, the door of which now was closed, shut ting them from sight of the company in the general eating and drinking room adjoining, Sanchez and the, Black Seigneur sat together. Before them the viands that had been placed on the table were untouched; the filled glasses, untasted. AS he spoke, the man bent forward, his words disjoint- ed his eyes gleaming.
 "'But, the Governor added. the criminal must be taught not to for get; then turned to his soldiers. Beat me this fellow from the Mounti' he commanded"

 The Governor looked at her; did not speak.

 His thin lips drew back disagree ably: he seemed about to speak: then reached among the papers and turned them over abseutly. Very we'll" he said at length without dancing up.
 "You promise" her voice expressed relief and little surprise. to set him free?"
 Have not said so?" His eyelids yelled peculiar look. Yes. he shall be liberated-very shortly"

GERMAINE SCHNITZER.

Germaine Schnitzer, the famous
Austrian pianist gave recital at the
Universalist church last Wednesday,
evening under the auspices of the
Tuesday Musical club. 1t was de-
lightful evening of music, and en-
joyed very much by all present. One

"Miss Schnitzer played with such-a
clear understanding that each num-
Der told a definite story: Her inter
probation is wonderful beyond words
and was emphatically illustrated in
the very transparent composition,
Mozart's "Patorale Variee" which
she played so beautifully, one finds it.
difficult to describe. Her technique
throughout was marvellous, her pas
sage work reminded one of the clear
est drops of water and her tone-color-
ing, of the most wonderful effects one
sees in the sky. She possesses every
requirement for the greatest artist
and will most certainly achieve the
perfect success she so richly deserves"

STATE FAIR.

The PILOT reporter had talk with
Assemblyman Oscar Ringle yesterday
upon the question of securing the
state fair for Wausau. He says there
Ewill be no difficulty in securing tbsi
fair here permanently if the legisla-
tuIe can be shown that our city is
able to take care of the visitors. The
question asked by our legislators is
"Can you take care of the crowd?"
The fact is, fully $4,000 people will
have to be taken care of outside of
those who can be accommodated at
the present time. If the state fair
was not visited by at least 10000 OUT
siders, there would be large deficit.
Assemblyman Ringle says: We need
only to show the legislature that we
can care for the crowds and the fair
will come here. There is no question
about this, but if it cannot be shown
absolutely that Wausau can do so
there is no chance.
1t is up to our Advancement associ-
alton to convince the Wisconsin legis-
lature that we can take care of the
crowds and this must be done quickly.
