4 TOUCHING INCIDENT.

Mr.. Joseph Dinges, q native oil
Woodstock, but for over fifty years a
resident of Illinois relates the fol-
lowing touching incident.
About thirty years ago, he was Wis
ting his friends, In Woodstock. His
old black nanny residing in Fred
erick City, Md, hearing that he was
in Woodstock sent her TWO daughters
5, see him, He was called away by
the illness of his brother at Mt.
Crawford and the girls returned to
their home.
On his return to Woodstock, he
visited the graves of his parents and
OF his brother who had fallen in the
battle of Charlottesville. He found
the graves covered with flowers and
beautiful bouquets at the head OF
each, the offerings of the children Of
his old nanny.
Touched by such devotion, he at
once determined to go to Frederick.
He found the old woman sitting in
the back yard of her residence busy
peeling apples. He complimented
some nice pears and she gave him one
which he began to eat. Looking
steadily ut her, he remarked Your
face looks familiar to me and think
that must have met you.somewhere"
She. in reply, said: "Your face seems
familiar to me, but l do not not know
where l saw you. What is your
name?" He told her and at once the
pan of apples few in one direction.
the knife, In another and she leaped
from her chair and embraced him
with all the fervor of q parent who
had recovered long lost child. She
conducted him through her house,
which was scrupously clean and tidy,
and even to the cellar where upon
swing was large supply Of canned
fruit, ust as it used to be in her old
home in the Shenandoah Valley. She
said: 81 keep my house just as
mistres made me when l lived in
Woodstock. Later she accompanied
him to the station. A large throng
standing around gazed with wonder
upon her manifestation of such affec-
ion for a white man. Tn ey had never
understood the relations of the white
and colored people in the South.
AS the train moved from the station.
he looked out and saw his old nanny
with her white apron to her face,
sobbing as If she had lost her best
friend.
One gentleman, who seemed to un-
derstand the cause of her excitement,
THAT woman must have
been a slave in your family" "She
vas" he replied.

Rising In his place, Lanyard slipped
from under him the heavy waterproof
cushion that fitted the seat.
Then, edging ever to the left of the
middle of the road, abruptly he shut
off power and applied the brakes with
all his might.
From it's terrific speed the taxicab
came to stop almost within its
| length.
| Lanyard was thrown forward
against the wheel, but having braced
| in anticipation, escaped injury and eff
fected instant recovery.
The car of the Apaches was upon
him in a pulse beat. With no least
warning of his intention, De Morbihan
had no time to employ brakes. Lam
yard saw it's dark shape flash past the
windows Of his cab and heard shout
of triumph. Then, with all his might,
he flung the heavy cushion across that
scant space. directly into the face Of
De Morbihan.
1t few straight and true.
In alarm. unable to comprehend the
nature of that great, dark, whirling
mass, De MorHhan attempted to lift
warding elbow. He was too slow
the cushion caught him full force on
the side of the head, and before he
could recover or guess what he was
doing, he had twisted the wheel sharp
ly to the right.
The car, running at little less than
locomotive speed, shot like projectile
from lannon's mouth across that
strip of sidewalk, caught it's right fore
wheel against sapling, swung heavily
broadside to the drive, and turned
completely over as it shot down the
gentle slope to the lake.
The terrific crash of this catastrophe
was followed by hideous chorus of
oaths, shrieks. cries and groans.
Promptly Lanyard started his motor
anew and, trembling in every limb.
ran on for several hundred yards. But
time pressed, and the usefulness of his
car was at an end as far as he was
concerned; there was no saying how
many times its identity might not
have been established in the course Of
that wild chase through Paris, or how
soon the police might contrive to over
haul and apprehend him; and as soon
as bend in the road shut off the scene
of the wreck, he stopped finally,
jumped down, and plunged headlong
into the dark midnight heart of the
Bots, seeking its silences where trees
stood thickest and lights were few.
Later, like some furtive, worried
creature of the night--panting, dis
heveled, his rough clothing stained
and muddied-he skunk across an open
space mile from his point of disap-
pearance, dropped cautiously down to
the dry bed of the moat, climbed as
stealthily the slippery side Of the for
tifications, darted across the inner
boulevard, and began to describe
wide arc to his destination, the Omber
house.

That the shot had no immediate sue.
cessor was due almost wholly to Lam
yards instant and instructive action.
Even before the clash OF broken
glass registered on his consciousness,
he threw in the high speed and shot
away like a frightened greyhound.
So sudden was this move that it
caught De Morbihan himself unpre-
pared. In an instant Lanyard had ten
yards lead. In another he was spin
ming on two wheels round an acute
corner into the Rue Jean Goujon; and
in third, as he shot through that
short block to the Avenue d'Antin, had
increased his lead to fifteen yards. But
he could never hope to better that
rather the contrary. The pursuer was
the more powerful car, and captained,
to boot, by one reputed to be the most
daring and skillful motorist in France.
AS he swung from the Avenue dan
tin into the Rond Point des Champs
Elysees, the nose of the pursuing car
inched up, snoring, on his right, ef-
fectually preventing any attempt to
strike off toward the east, to the boule-
wards and the center Of the city's night
life. He had no choice but to fly west.

inch Of advantage, and Strengthened
out up the Avenues des Champs Ely
sees for the Place de lEtoile. shooting
madly in and out through the tide OF
more leisurely traffic. And ever the
motor of the touring car purred con-
tentedly just at his elbow.
II there were police about, Lanyard
saw nothing of them-not that he
would have dreamed of stopping or
even Of checking speed for anything
less than an immovable barrier.
But as the minutes sped it became
apparent that there was to be no re-
newed attempt upon his life for the
time being. The pursuers could afford
to wait. And it came then to Lanyard
that he drove no more alone. Death
rode with him, his passenger.
Only when in full course for the
Porte Dauphine did he appreciate De
Morbihan's design. He was to be
rushed out into the midnight solitudes
Of the Bots de Boulogne and there run
down and slain out of hand.
Now and again glances over his
shoulder showed him no change in the
gap between his own and the car Of
the assassins. But his motor ran
sweet and true-humoring it, coaxing
1t, he contrived a little longer to hold
his own.
Approaching the Porte Dauphine, he
became aware of two sergents de vile
standing in the middle of the way and
wildly waving their arms. He held on
toward them relentlessly-it was their
lives or his-and they leaped aside
barely in time to save themselves.
And as he slipped into the park like
a hunted shadow he fancied that he
heard the sound Of a pistol shot
whether directed at himself by the
Apaches. or fred by the police to lend
emphasis to their indignation. he
couldn't say.
Bending low over the wheel, search.
ing with anxious eyes the Swallowed
reaches Of that winding drive, he
steered for time with one hand, while
with the other he tore open his ulster
and brought his pistol into readiness.
Topping the brow of the incline. he
heard above the whine of his motor
the sharp clatter of horses hoofs
and surmised that at last the police
had given chase.
And then, on a slight down grade,
though he took it at perilous speed and
seemed vertically to ride the wind, the
pursuing machine, aided by its great.
or weight, began to close in still more
rapidly. Momentarily the hoarse roar
ing Of its motor sounded more loud
and menacing. 1t became mere ques-
ton of seconds.
Then inspiration of despair came to
him. as wild as any that was ever
by brain of man.
They approached a point where a
dense plantation walled the road on
the left. To the right, a wide footwalk
Of asphalt separated the drive from
gentle declivity. sown with saplings,

as the case might be, than In doing
justice 10 the commanders and IN the
spirit of their men.
Ten years ago who would have be-
lieved that French and British sol
diers would fight side by side like
brothers and frankly admire individ-
ual prowess without considering the
uniform? They do not understand
each others speech, their tempera-
ments are dissimiliar, and long the
tradition persisted among the COM
mon people in England-it had come
down from Agincourt and other glori-
GUS ields-that a Frenchman was no
match for an Englishman. And what
is even more to the point, who would
have believed that British command
ers would cheerfully subordinate
