A SHORT STORY OP PRANCE.
Tlio nlgltk was a tempestuous one.—
Tho scene was dismally hltiek, mill tho
waters moaned ns they rolled onward.
But the storm 1 hnd not driven 1 every-
Imdy from tho streets'of .Burls, for n
dark form crossed ono of the bridges
nhdl In a few: moments had prtskbd“nn-
(ter the shaduw of a building. ' I’rus-
ently a; second person, mid that 6f a
fcmalo, passed in tho same direction
end halted almost 111 the same spot.—
Then the first party tVlilspored'a name,
and the secnnil, with' a low exclama
tion of-plcasuro, sprang Into arms ex
tended to receive her. As she did so,
she'askcd:
“Oh; tlermnn, why did Sy'oit request
mo to meet you in this strange place,
and at this Into hour? I am really
frightened, for everything Is so dismal,
hnd the river is so dark.”
“Ilush—not so loud, Julie, and I
yvlll explain.”
‘Oh, do'nt once,'and lot US depart.’
‘EcaP’nothing, tny darling, While I
am with ^orii But tile fact U tills—I
have bboli 1 guilty of the 'crime of for-
ger.V, and the police nro on - my truck.

.‘I will not, mydpijing Jtillc.'
,‘AIy broLfipv, Francis, say# that you
are. not the poor (nan you represent
y ourself, to be, but that you nro wealthy
and great, and will never innko mo
your wife. ’ Now Herman, will you
not givq tho lie to this by wedding ine
at once ? You know I have given up
nil for y our sake.’
tYoujimy trust.roe, Julie, you shall
bo.my wife. , But the night is cold,
and we will.not remain hero.”,.
• Come, then.’
‘Stay. .First let me wrap your sliawl
closer around you.’
' Tire man had so arranged tho cover
ing that it held the arms of the girl
close to her side. Then he 'bandaged
them down with the scarf, which lie
tied Jlrinly around her body. Still,
without suspecting any foul play, the
girl laughed gnu said:
‘You have pinioned my arms as
lightly as if I was to he led lo execu
tion.’
“And yon arc,' growled the villain,
as he suddenly hurled her forward.
Her wail arose upon the night air
qml mingled with hurling wind. A
splash wns Itcnrd in the water, and
then , nil wns still. As the monster
gazed down lulu the black liquid, he
snid:
forever out of my
tightly to his > side, anti' tlfon: to bind
his ankles’together. This douo, they
attached a heavy weight to Ms feet.
Tho wretch began now to understand
wlmt was to be done, and ho began to
beg most,piteously for hit life. But
when he;saw. this was of no avail, bo
once more set up hit bowlings.
Everything ready, ha was raised
ill tlm. arms of,the men and tnkun to
Vlio slde of, tho river. Then tlio word
was given, and the form of tlio vtlllan
wont whirliHgilhrough space. An ag
onizing cry. rang, out ns the splash ,was
heard, and then all became silent as
tlio dark waters engulphed tho murder
er, oven ns they had closod over his
poor victim only a lbw moments be
fore. • Ui!J • i
That was a swift ravongo.

seouiidrcl wns standing in front of'a

is that a daughter of the Beast should

A good brollmr in an Eastern church
had a call to preach. Being unahlo to
read lio employed 11 friend to read tho
scripture lesson. On tlm occasion, the
chapter selected was Genesis xxii,which
contains these words: “These eight did
Milcali bear to Nabor, Abraham's
brotlior.” Tlm preacher discoursed
from tlm text ns follows:
“Brethren and sisters, let us consider
our blessings. Morning and evening
our wives nnd daughters milk theeoivs,
nnd our wants are supplied. In tho
days of good old Abraham, ns you have
heard, it took eight to milk a hear, and
they did not get much nt that.”

iio paid tlm cash nt once. Afterwards
n neighbor got a similar job done on
credit, for n less price. Upon being
asked tlm reason, tlm blacksmith re
plied : “You zee, I have zo much sharge
011 my book, and I zomotimes lose ’em;
und zo, veil I have good ensli customer
I sliiirgo good price; but veil I puts it
on my bonk I do not liko to sharge so
