-flitch 1 roved to me that during that'ter-
Sieve;’!' true French hearts throbbed
the blouse os well as under the uni-
t0 There were eight or ten members of the
circle grouped about Pierre Nerot.
“A story!” they all cried.
“ Last summer, said Aerot, I was
wiili au old college friend, Dubreuil, who
had established himself as a physician nt
hh heme in a little place in the V osges
ti e had risen from the table one day and
„i,out to go for a walk in a neigli-
wood Dubrcutl had lighted Ills
pine and I my cigar, aud we were already
the steps when the sound of footsteps
made us mm our heads. There is the
posimau.' said my companion. 'Wait for
me »second; I have a letter to give him.
1 left it up stairs on my bureau.’ Saying
this he re-entered the house.
“I looked at the new-comer. lie was a
voum: man of 20 or 27 years, apparently
of a'pleasant yet energetic disposition,
with an open couutenanco and a bright
dance. When he saw me he inclined nis
head slightly In salutation. ‘Ah,’ I said
to mvsclf, ‘this is not a garrulous person.
He does not even sav good-day. Then ad
dressing him, I said:
- -It is hard work, is it not, running
»bout in the warm weather?’ **
“He nodded his head in assent. Ah, I
thought, he docs not know how to speak.
The young man read my surprise in my
looks, lie smiled, somewhat sadty, and
then, putting two lingers to his bps, he
ghook lifs head. This time I understood.
“ ‘Vou are dumb, my poor fellow?’ I
"At this moment Dubreuil returned
with his letter in his hand. lie had heard
mv question.
"‘yes,’he said, ‘lie is^lumb, poor Jean
liarrot. But that does not prevent him
from performing his duties well, since he
can read and write and hear all that is
said to him.’
"•Then he was not born dumb, as he is
not ilcaf?’
"*Xo, lie was not born dumb.’
“‘Did he become so by accident?’
“'Accident is, perhaps, not the right
word. Is it, Jean? 1
“The young umu smiled iu au embar
rass* d manner. He extended his hand for
the letter which Dubreuil held. Tho lat
ter laughed.
“ ‘Ah, my boy, that annoys you. You
know I am goiu£ to tell j’ our story und
you do not wish to remain to hear it.
Very well, I will not detain you. I will
not tell it till you have gone. ’
“Aud Dubreuil, giving him the letter,
pressed his hand warmly.
“The young mau saluted up, turned his
hack, and departed with Jong strides.
Then Dubreuil took my arm and told me
the following story, as he led me toward the
wood whose verdure seemed to slumber in
the white light of the August sun:
“Jean Barrot, ho informed me, was
15 years old a little beforo the breaking
out of the war. Jlis father, already old,
lived with his two sons in an
old house in a corner of tho
field. Jean was the younger of tho
brothers, Louis being ten years ids senior.
Jean being too voung to light remained at
home. Louis departed with his regiment.
He fought well in two or three engage
ments. But he also rendered other
services. Knowing the country well he
asked the perilous privilege of bearing
dispatches across the German lines that
separated the army of Metz from the rest
of France. Three times already, had ho
accomplished that dangerous journey, and
old l arrot, whom his son had, without
Joult, visited some dark night, was una
ble to hold his tongue, and told of Louis’
exploits everywhere, bo that tho Prussians,
who had held that part of the country for
ieveral months, quietly kept watch or his
hut, behoving that some day they would
make a good capture.
“And it happened just ns they had fore
seen. One eveuing when Louis had ar
rived and was talking with his father in a
corner of the kitchen without a light,
heavy footsteps were heard outside ami
the door was suddenly battered with tho
butt end Of muskets. It was too dark for
tho father and son to sec eaoh other’s pale
face, but they joined bands iu the dark
ness and clasped each other in a convul
sive embrace. The house was surrounded;
they were lost.
Presently, Louis called his brother In a
low voice.
“ ‘Jean,’ he said, 'come here. Try to
"^arvay and conceal that in the field.’
He tore away a package of papers that
was sewed to the inside of his shirt over
his breast and handed it to the boy. Tho
tatter took tho package, opened a door
«»d disappeared.
“At the same moment the door at
w mch the men were buttering gave wuy
md seven or eight Prussian soldiers en
tered with revolvers in their hands. Tho
explanation that followed was short,
‘heir brutal hands seized tho two men by
the shoulders. The spy and the father
who had harbored him were there. They
would he shot the next morning. In the
meantime, not to lose a moment, they
J^arched the young mail, taking off lm
w ;«we and shirty They found nothing,
‘The dispatches that you brought,
where arc they?’ demanded tho leader of
the soldiers.
* The dispatches?’ replied Louise Barrot.
I have none.’
‘"What, then, was there a moment
inee?’ said the officer, pointing to a strip
« ripped cloth which had formed part of j
* pocket and from which the threads still !
hung %
there?' 011 lhat 1 carried papers
H ‘I am certain of it. You must have
mw mein there a momenfi ago.’
’Well, then, since tluV are no longer
there, look for them.’
** ’Search everywhere 1 cried the officer
to his men.
“The soldiers obeyed, opening every
“rawer, overturning the furniture and ex-
annuff the ashes on the hearth. They ,
souna nothing. Presently two soldiers
appeared on the threshold of the door i
*dth little Jean. They had been left on
pard without, and had just seen him as
Jo w»s crawling behind a hedge. They
pushed him before them into the circle of
tl ,light cast by the fuming lamp. \
the Imy concealed his hands behind
back.
“‘What i* that you are hiding there?' j
- vi* officer to aim in a rough voice.
u ‘Nothing.’
1 J&° w . T out hands then.’
Ah ' you Unto niwlt' swlaiasd tbs
officer, 'it mi you who concealed the pa
per*. Where are they?”
“The hoy remained silent.
“ 'Listen,' said the German. 'There It
your father, is he not? aud there is your
brother?”
“Little Jean twice nodded his head.
'V ery well If you do not tell where
the papers are they will both be shot. I!
, you Jell—they shall live.’
“The boy turned his eyes toward' his
lather.
“ ‘Jean,’ said the old man, ‘listeu well
to what I say. Even though we die in
your sight, do not speak.’
“The boy replied, ‘Very well.'
“ ‘To morrow, then,’ said the officer,
with an angry gesture.
“The next morning at dawn, iu the
square before the mayor's offico iu the
neighboring village, old Barrot and his
sou Louis stood erect, with uncovered
heads, immovable and pale. Twenty
steps from them stood the firiug party,
with their arms at rest. AU about, kept
hack by a cordon of soldiers, were women
and old men, who craned their necks in
their efforts to catch a glimpse of the
prisoners, murmuring angrily, their lip;
trembling and their eyes bloodshot. Near
the tiring party, between two sol.liers,
stood little Jenu, his face livid, but hit
head erect.
“ Half an hour before tho officer hai
led him into a rr nn in the mayoralty,
where his father and his brother wet:
guarded, and ordered that they should Ic
left by themselves. What did he hope
from the interview? That the two nun
would melt before the tears of the lad.
The boy wept certainly, for his eyes were
red. But what had his father said?
When little Jean came out the officer
said:
“ ‘Do you wish to sneak now?’
“Little Jeau replied that he did not.
Then his father and his brother would lie
taken from him. They would be placed
together against the wall before his eyes.
Even now they were there before him
awaiting death.
“There was a moment of horrible sus
pense. At last the officer gave a com
mand in German and the soldiers leveled
their muskets. The officer turned to tho
boy.
“ ‘Do you wish to sneak?’ he said.
“The boy’s lips did not move; but his
form trembled, au expression of frightful
anguish passed over his countenance and
he uttered a half-stilled cry. Then he
tottered.
“The officer approached him, listening
for the confession which he thought
would full from his contracted lips. It
was not a confession that issued from his
lips, but a How of blood.
“The officer sprang back. On his un.
form on his breast just over the heart, was
seen a red stain, while at his feet a shape
less thing, also red, fell on the pavement.
The boy^had bitten his tongue in two and
had hurled part of it forth into the face of
the tormentor.
“ ‘Fire!’ cried the latter, furious with
rage.
“A discharge of musketry sounded like
a peal of thunder, and little Jean, fainting,
fell nt the moment when old Barrot and
his sou Louis were killed.
“ 'And that,’ said my triend Dubreuil.
‘is the reason why our postman is dumb. ’ ”
Hurddto Jtlokei a Gordon.
[Brooklyn Eagle.]
I think I will make a garden. In fact,
I am positive I will. To confess the whole
dreadful truth, 1 have made one. I dig-
daily in the ground and inhale the whole
some gases that ariso from the mangled
earth and feed worms to the robins. In
deed, that is principally what I dig for,
because when the worms give out the
prince makes me abandon tlic claim and
prospect in another place, and when wo
strike a claim that assays about 200
writhing angleworms, iu all stages of am-
putatioii, to the spadeful, he compels me
to follow carefully tho trend of that
lode in all its dips, spurs, unglcs
aud sinuosities, through nil manner of
uquulic indication, consisting of oyster-
shells und upheavals of anhydrous silicate
bearing brickbats and agatb.cd quartz,
with truces of discarded gum shoes in the
E orphyrltic blend. That makes pretty
urd cligglng, and tho erratic impatience
of the youth makes us run lurgely to
pocket miniug, so that tho lawn and the
entire yard appear to have been vaccinated
for an oil towu, and callers who come
after dark fall into more holes between the
gate and the porch than they can count.
But so long us the robins wax fat and kick
tho prince Is satisiled, and I lmvo to be. I
haven’t much influence with the adminis
tration. After all, what do we livo for, if
it isn’t to please the children and feed the
robins?
Electric lilslil In China.
[North China Herald.]
A special correspondent at Foo-Chow
thus describes the effect produced on the
natives by an electric search light from
the French flagship. “I happened to In
going down to the anchorage last night iu
a steam launch, and just na Pagoda au-
choragc hove in sight the Volta, tho French
flagship, lit her electric search lamp aud
threw a blinding ray on each Chiuese
gunboat iu turn to see if they were
slyly slipping their uuchors or rigging
torpedoes. I steamed through the Chinese
fleet while the search light was on them,
and the effect was most ludicrous—tho
cries aud autics of the men on board, who
seemed to thiuk there was something very
awful in a light so strong that their eyes
could uot bear to look at it. It was a
curious sight seen from a little distance.
The night was slightly hazy, and the ray
from the lamp seemed like a gigantic
wedge'shaped arm thrown out by the
vessel T he Volta had two torpedo-boats
alongside with steam up, and all on board
were moviug ubout in an excited, restless
mauner. ”
Fop People Who Wear Spectacle's!
[Exchange.]
A staid looking elderly gentleman was
chatting pleasantly with three young
ladies who stood waiting for a street car.
He took from his pocket one of those little
lx>oks of r /ce paper that cigarette smokers
use to roll homeopathic smokes with, and,
opening l\ tore out a leaf.
“Why, you are not going to make a
cigarette are you?” said one of the ladies.
“Make a cigarette!” exclaimed the old
gentleman, “bless my soul, ladies, no, in
deed, ” and, whipping off his gold bowed
spectacles, he begun to polish the ienses
with a bit of rice paper. “I accidentally
discovered one day, ” continued he, indus
triously rubbing the glasses, “that rice pa
per was the best thing in the world to
wipe my spectacles with, and I always
carry pieces of it in my pocket for that
purpose. When you are as old as l am,
girls, you will appreciate the valuo of the
discoveiy and thank me for tho infonna-
lion I urn giving you. ”

Short oropi, no rain, too warn
for this season ot tbe year, lot* ol
dust, money scarce, cotton too low
and dull times are the answer* now
given by all the merchants, when
tho “How do you do f" is give*
them, but how different with tbs
Bargain Store men. Here goods
arrive and disappear rapidly.
On tbe first of September last
this new store was oponed with 01*
of the largest rtocksof Dry Uoods,
Clothing, Cloaks, Hsts, Shoes and
Millinory ever brought to Ameri-
eu*.
Kvcry day since then, new and
fresh goods bongbt by their New
Tork buyer arrived, and now h*
finds himself compelled to go t*
New York to make his second com
plete purchase iu all tines. Never
has anything happened to equal it
in tho history of the Americus dry
goods trade.
The only and best reason that
ean be assigned to this extraordi
nary success, may be summed up
in the pluck and enterprise used
by the proprietor, and the faot that
the purchaser is not slow to find
out that herb is the place to trade.
While other merchants have held
their goods at regular prices and
profits, he saw fit to reduce hi*
entire stock to such prices and
profits that would meet tbe approv
al of everybody and everybody’s
pocket, and succeeded with flatter,
ing success. But we are not near
at tho end yet. Money is getting
scarcer daily. Still harder times
aro coming, and what will be th*
final result is better imagined than
told.
TkcBarga’n Store man’s pro.
gramme will be a regular march.
He proposes to march 'down with
the prices oi all bis goods yet in
stock, in order to march to New
York with tiie proceeds to buy
goods lower than they were bought
before.
In order to raise as mueh .money
as possible, the Bargain Store ofiert
