And then he would nxk xome friend to read It aloud for the n'.caxqre of listening to tho troaaured wnrda once more, until he at last knew It by heart.

The hoy had written him that If he waa made a sergeant before being hon orably discharged from the service ne would send it telegram, and now old Father Rabut wop Id be watching for a messenger boy from dawn to nightfall, or when he grew too Impatient he would go to the telegraph office and watch the Instrument!) clicking off their mysterious messages.

Waa hlx Raoul really a xergeant now?" Yea, the mexaenger came to him and asked him to sign the receipt, but his hand trembled ao that one of the othera had to do It for him. Hurrah!” he shouted, "he has passed! My boy Is a sergeant now.” He showed the dispatch to the oth ers. "There, read It yourself." But suddenly he saw how they all stared at him In surprise. "What la the matter?” he aaked. "Don't you understand? Raoul wears the silver chevroua now. My boy Is a sergeant! ’’ And still the group around him kept on staring as It they thought he was out of hla mind. This scared him. and his voir, trembled aa-he axked, "What Is It? Tell mf!" • Every one hesitated, but at last some one aald: "But Maitre Raoul, didn’t you reajJ the telegram?" "Of coUrse, I did," he stammered. Then he nut down nnd mumbled: "That Is, I have not—I can not read—tell me, for God's sake, tell met what haa hap pened.” i Nobody said a word. "Rend, read It," cried Rabut. A schoolboy passed by and the old man caught him by the shoulder und aald: ’’Read thin to me, my boy, since nobody else will." The boy read: "Your son died suddenly last night.” The old man rhrew up hla arms und fell to the ground like a log. When they lifted him up he waa dead. And thus, after hla death, It became known why Rabut. the most respected and richest peasant of the community, had never wanted to be a candidate for mayor. He had declined the honor becauae he could not read. $ % % °\o 1. $ Signs of Prosperity When you start depositing your surplus dollars at interest in our Savings Department, you; will begin to see unmistakable signs of prosperity.
