It was a lonely and dreary vigil, and

while undergoing It.
One night, when the new moon gave
Ju*t enough light to make out objects

the sound of many horses feet coming

self. At any rate, before she could move
the cow. a gruff voire called t* her In her
own tongue. "Hold on there! We see you!

Overcome with terror Filippe could
only stand with her hard against th**

whence the gruff voice had omc.
The soldiers hart now halted. Some hart
already dismounted, and were climbing
the fence. Others tore a wide gap and
entered through it on their horses, flow
their guns and sabres glittered In the
moonlight*
"Oh. Panehette!" exclaimed Filippe
with a hurst of tears, as she threw her
I arms around her ilear cow’s ne< k ”1 am

with a sudden determination, ‘she cried
"But If they do. they’ll have to kill me

"What do you want of her?" asked

wondering at her own bravery.
"To cal!" was the gruff response
At these words Filippe burst Into tears
