A Game of Cards.


Francois Beaupre-Le Francois Of
Vicques-sober. laborious, had In him
certain pig-headedness, and also a
vein of the gambler which had swollen
with use; yet because it had so far
brought him only good luck the neigh
bors called this good judgment. He
was a dealer In working oxen; he
bought and raised and sold them, and
only his wife knew what chances he
often took in buying young beeves. II
was a simple solid form of speculation,
yet it was that.
On a day in September he left Vic
ques early in the morning to drive to
the market in Delesmontes, league
distant, two pairs of oxen which he
had bought as calves for almost moth
ing from poor stock out of a farm
| leagues away. He had fed and trained
and cared for them till now they were
all well set-up and powerful and
smooth h-working-ready to sell for a
that there were few oxen to be dis
posed of, none which compared to hls,
and his ideas of value went up-he
would get nine hundred francs for
them, which delayed the sale.
So it came to be, by the time his
bargain was closed, three o'clock in
the afternoon, and he had had no din
ner. With the cattle off his hands
and the money in his pocket he felt

CRY as a wolf he felt also, and he
turned into the inn OF Delesmontes,
where the sign of huge bear, cut out
of tin and painted black, swung before
the door,
A waitress approached him-a SOM

and white apron, her hair done in the
picturesque fashion of the place. The
girl took his order; as she turned to

Good day." he saluted him heartily.

my cousin, Paul Noirjean of Devillier."
Now Paul Noirjean was an old &C.
quaintance and a solid man, and
though Beaupre did not see him often,
living six leagues away, he respected
him highly. A cousin Of his was to be
considered, and Francois was embar.
rassed that his memory could not
focus on the meeting. He tried to
cover this with cordiality, and invited
the stranger to share his meal

Paris. Aug. 25.-The Temps prints
a dispatch from Lille, dated August
%, saying the report that Namur had
fallen was not confirmed. Belgians
arriving from that place say one of
the most advanced forts OF Namur
was either blown up or taken by as
sault and from that incident the re-
port arose that Namur itself had been
taken by assault. The other forts in
the town were still intact when this
dispatch was sent, and were being
defended.

note to the Belgian cabinet on August
2. after the surrender of IAege. Baron
Fatlon, the Belgian minister to Hol-
