STRANGE Death MESSAGE.

1t may have been strange and
tragic coincidence. Some will believe
there was more in it than that. The

shortly after mobilization. His Chris

told his wife: IF I go under l will
try to let you know directly before

scarcely played any music during his
absence. But the other day she took
up her violin, feeling impelled to play
one piece which he liked above all.
She opened his case, and two strings
of the violin suddenly snapped, the D

now open, followed his handsome mas

he gave a pathetic yelp which made

But Sabron was halfway down the

youth, and now, according to Brunei,
there wasn't much usei"
Pitchoune was bandaged around his
hind quarters and his adorable little
head and forepaws came out of the
handkerchief bandage.
HE won't eat anything from me,
mon Capitaine," said Brunei, and
Sabron tremendously opened the pup
py's mouth and thrust down a dose.
Pitchoune swallowed obediently.
Sabron had just returned from a
long hard day with his troops, and
tired out as he was. he forced himself
to give his attention to Pitchoune. A
second invitation to dinner lay on his
table; he had counted the days until
this night. 1t seemed too good to be
true, he thought, that another picture
was to add itself to his collectionl He
had mentally enjoyed the others
often, giving preference to the first,
when he dined at the chateau; but
there had been a thrill in the second
caused by the fluttering of the white
dress down by the poplar walk.
Tonight he would have the pleasure
of taking in Miss Redmond to dinner.
See. mon Capitaine," said Brunei,
"the poor little fellow can't swallow
it."
The water trickled out from either
side of Pitchoune's mouth. The sturdy
terrier refused milk in all forms, had
done so since Sabron weaned him. but
Sabron now returned to his nursery
days, made Brunei fetch him warm
milk and, taking the quill, dropped a
few drops of the soothing liquid, into
which he put dash of brandy, down
PitchouEe's throat. Pitchoune swal-
lowed, got the drink down, gave a
feeble yelp. and closed his eyes. When
he opened them the glazed look had
gone.

ming clothes and ordered Brunei, as he
tied his cravat, to feed the puppy lit

lie Comte de Sabron, in the undress

sat smoking and thinking
What is the use of being thirty years
old with the brevet OF captain and
much distinction of family IL you are
a poor MANN short, what is the good
of anything II you are alone in the
world and no one cares what becomes
of you?
He rang his bell, and when his

Brunei, lis rather melancholy"
Melancholy exclaimed the young
officer IT'S Internal. Stop it at once"
The ordonnance held his kept in his
hand. He had round good-natured
face and kind gray eyes that were
used to twinkle at his masters humor
and caprices.

Horses Tell of Tragedies.

The body of Samuel L. Archer a
prominent farmer of Plumsted IN. d.
township. was found lying dead in
the road near his home. He was seen
by his neighbors about the place
early in the morning, and about ten
o'clock he went for a drive into the
country. When his horse came back
without him search was immediate
ly made for the missing man and his
body was found. Although there were
some bruises, it is not known wheth
er there was foul play
There is a peculiar coincidence IN
the fact that his son, Nelson Archer,
was killed in almost exactly the same
way about two years ago. His horse
also came home without him.

small wire-haired Irish terrier had
given birth to a fine family and her
self gone the way of those who do
lheir duty to a race. In the straw at
his feet Sabron saw a ratlike, unpre-
possessing little object, crawling about
feebly In search of warmth and nour-
ishment uttering pitiful little cries.
Its extreme loneliness and helpless
ness touched the big soldier, who said
ourtly to his man.
Wrap 1t up. and If you don't know
how to feed 1t 1 should not be sur
prised II / could induce it to take a
little warm milk from a quill. At all
events we shall have a try with it.
Fetch it along to my rooms"
And as he retraced his steps, leav-
ing his order to be executed, he
thought to himself: The little beggar
is not much more alone in the world
than / am AS he said that he re-
called word in the meridional patois
Pitchoune. which means poor little
thing"
Il shall call it Pitchoune," he
thought, and we shall see if it can't
DO better than its name suggests"
He went slowly back to his rooms

and busted himself at his table with
his correspondence. Among the let
tiers was an invitation from the Mar
quise dEsclignac, an American mar
ried to a Frenchman, and the great
lady of the country Whereabouts.
will you not" she wrote, come to
dine with us on Sunday? l have my
niece with me. She would be glad to
see French soldier She has ex-
pressed such wish. She comes from
country where soldiers are rare We
dine at eight"
Sabron looked at the letter and it's
fine clear handwriting. Its wording
was less formal than French invita-
ton is likely to be, and il gave him
sense of cordially. He had seen,
during his rides. the beautiful lines
OF the Chateau Esclignac. It's tur-
rets surely looked upon the Rhone.
There would be divine view from
the terraces. 1t would be a pleasure
to go there. He thought more OF what
the place would be than of the people
in it, for he was something of her
init, rather a recluse, and very re-
served.
He was writing line OF acceptance
when Brunei came in, tiny bundle in
his hand.

sunlight" ordered the officer, "and we
shall see if we can bring him up by

There has long been a suspicion
that many supplicants for CHARITY

pened to make his pitiful pleading to
Magistrate Mcguire, who give him so

carried to a Long Island City hospital,
where a search of his clothes revealed
