It wae a beautiful, «tarry - night; a dry wind w^i whistling through the apple trees, which were covered with frost, and the parish clock was girine off with jolts of its macfiijiery its flourish of chines. A light blare of trumpets made answer with the reveil||o return of the Herman dragoons. Canivet, suit in bed, uttered a grumbling .^protest against the •torm, which made him sbirer in his blanket*, and then ha said: ‘‘Wbers is that coffee, my good woman?” . 8h# replied: "Let the coffee heat oyer the coals.

They slept above the stable, In the hay^with Monnier, the •errant. The latter witii called in the country Monnier a la Canlyelle, to distinguish bias from his brother, Qie old military cap-
tain on board the Louis XIV.
“Well, good wife, ar* you coming to-
dajr?” shouted a heary / voice.
“Her*, here! Tbeacgrftps! What trouble th*v make me! Will you have done? t shall box your ears if this goes on!” Tb*r* was a clatter dywn toe stair from the garret storehouse^ and la CanivelJe grossed the yard at a ^u", followed by her
Monnier and the four brisk soldiers.

candle. '
"Do I understand, patron,” asked the servant, wiping his mouth, "that i am to

Canivet made an afffrpiative sign with his head, and opening t^s blouse ho drew from the inner pocket of hie waistcoat a vast portfolio held about hjs neck by a steel chain. He put back the plate and the howl, the bread, the fbeese, the flask of cider brandy, and spregd some papers on
tb* greasy oibcloth.
Monnier spoke to th^ Hermans who had
finished their meal: MCome. lend a hand, hoys!” When they did not moyn he added: •'Hchnell, schnell, t»acl| of good-for-noth-ings!” pointing to the dpor. The Germans Understood at last that they were expected to render a service, apd rushed out; la Canivelle and the servant, after having
lighted a lantern, followed them. "Canivet, left alone, began a monologue,
drinking hli'coffee in HtfiJe sips; “Here is my passport,” and he apetled ont “with difficulty: ‘Comniandatiir von Kouen—es 1st erlaubt’—come, that" must be Canivet, tlioss words!—and that must be St. Kirin in—ah, what gibbenatj!

the patron, appearing In hi* goat skin.
“In a minute, in a minute,” replied his wife calmly, and in a vecopd the horse was In the •haft*, harnessed and girthed, ready
to set out.
Canivet climbed into the gig, whose •pringe bent uuder him. fie stuck his ash rod in the place of,the whip, one of the Pruaiicoa carefully fastened the check rein on its hook, the three others stood in the position of the soldier without arms. "Canivet seemed to refiedt, then gave his order: “Come, Mounter, I will take you with me.” Monnier banded hi* lantern to Mi* woman, with a gallant grimace of disappointment, and wagglnig his chin, said: '’You think it ia altogether prudent to Uava her with theae rascal*—they ar* both bold and’aneaking, these scoundrels.” “There ie no risk.” {Interrupted the patron, “she lead* them, like a pack of

gave it back with a salute. “.Hi, Kabotin! Thanks, sir.” ^
The ftentiuel stood aside and the gig rolled, with a great noise, over the wormeaten floor of the bridge. Monnier was reflecting/ He had a habit of using with his patrotf a certain freedom of manner, to which hi* a««nred and respected position in regard tothe good wife gave hirn a right.

tion.”
saliva, and the gig roiled on. roiled on to the tan* of the bells and of the P’tit Remouieur, vociferated at foil power of the
patron's lungs.
And yet. as they drew nearer the Borsson farm, Canivet began to sound the deerescendo. He suddenly stopped altogether, compietelv sobered and trembling in ail his limbs; ne murmured: **0, good God, what is tnis thing u.at I have done?” And from his thr.'a\ contracted by terror, issued a hoarse «;gb. The gig still whirled onward, the building# of the farm came in sight, and the sentinel which stood guard on the bridge over the Viorne. At tuts m >ment the cracking of gunshots sounded in the distance. The travelers started. Kabotin stopped short.
“it was not necessary to do that; you | and in front of them the guard, still on the
1 might a# well have put the animal in the
staOie.”
Canivet shrugged his shoulders; he hesi tated about spe.kinf, but fiuaily he scratched his head and declared himself: “It was not so much on accrual of Kabotin that I brought vou. a- because I shail nave something to carry back—you underfland. in these times it is better for two to travel together,” and he winked meaningly. “Ix)ok, for example, in places such as that,'' and he point'd down tne road which plunged into a rsvine topped with fir tree#. The servant male a va.ue gesture of acquiescence; the natron a-sured bv his semicotihdtfnce.'continued: “What a road — what a cursed road! I understand verv well why the Prussians hold hack yonder; they would he shot down one after another if they attempted to pas* through Here, are, Monnier!” Thfe road making a sham turn, suddenly stretched away as far as the eye could see, straight through the forests. “A little more than ten kilometers and we are there,” pronounced Canivet, “tii, Kabotin!” Three hours later, at Mesanguette’s door, there was a 1 eng-ihv interchange of civilities. Canivet, sincerely moved and a little intoxicated, was pressing between both of bis bands the hand of a tali individual in a baggy blouse. He was repeating to him: “Vou understand, Laperelle, a# uianv times and in a# large (juaniilies a- you wish, !<>r six momno, at t percent.; weave friends, what then?” Laperelle replied without enthusiasm to his effusions; he stammered, 111 a Click voice: •‘Yes, that is nil verv well; but if i had known, 1 should not have pa d you. i had no idea myself that the court- in the arrondisaetuent were no longer in session, or I should have kept my money till the end ol the war.” Mesanguelte intervened with the sententious utterance: "An honest man has nothing but bis word—especially when he has given his signature.” Laperelle shook his head nod laughed idiotically: “‘Mv signature signifies nothing, ns long a# there are no more ] 11 dues or gendarmes—Canivet, vou are nothing but a
rascal!”
“Como along.” said the sheriff; “this is enough, lake another little drink and go your wav.” The absorption of the little drink lasted a quarter of an hour. Laperelle went out first and walked away, uttering imprecations. Mesanguette appeared alterwerri leading Canivet, who whs singing the Itamotileur in glorious style. He assisted firm in mounting into the gig, and followed with his eyes the vehicle ns it jolted over cobblestones nntil it had passed beyond the last house of the village of St, Firmin. Canivet was still singing; Monnier was yawning. Beyond them the ribbon of the roadway unrolled itself interminably, and
alert, suodenlv rusiied out all at once from } below. They ran about in ail directions, j mounting tp.eir hordes and forming them1 eelves in battle line. Monu ar's ear* rang with fear. Canivet, with the back of bis baud, wiped off the perspiration which streamed over his wan face, and their fright reached its ciimax wnt-n a headlong ; gollopade sounded behind them. Two dragoons lying forward on the necks of 1 their horses, driving them onward with the j spurs, passed Tke a hurricane on the right
an 1 on the left of the carriage.
Kabotin whirm.td, bolted and darted in j behind them. His master d:d not even attempt to re-irain him, but his. hand hung helpless and his hair -tood upright with horror, and the gig rushed up iu front of j the band ol soldier*. One of the horsemen seized Kabotin bv the bit, the two survivors : of the ambuscade were gesticulating furi- ] oumv, pointing up to the reddening aky. at a laiter of smoke which was floating in the
, West above the fir trees,
i At the sight of Canivet and his com- ; panions. the energy of their pantomime wh* redoubled; they gesticulated witn i greater vigor, they poured forth jargon until ttietr breath was exnausHed, pointing 1 with their fingers at the terrified travelers, and in the direction of fet. Firmin, us they w.shed establish the relation of cause and eilect. The officer listened to them 1 witn a serious countenance: “Who are J vou.” he suddenly asked, “and whence do you come?” Canivet, unable to reply, held ' out his passport. The German read it carej fuiiy and reflected a moment, and then * gave the order: “Get down from the carriage.” Then turning toward his men he addressed a few brief words to them. Four dragoons alighted, received the master and the servant ns they stepped from the veil io!e, and pushed them toward the farm-
i house.
Monnier stumbled, his patron walked j behind him with chattering leetb. They ' were led 111(0 the hall which had been arranged as a guard-room; they sank down in weakness on a bench. Canivet looked at bis boots with an expression of heart- ; rending anxiety. They were old, half- . hoots, witn straps on the out>ide, with iron-shod soles; he stamped several times ; with his font, so that one could have said that he attached extreme iim)ortan< , e to establishing tlm real and indisputable presence of his shoes. The hall had filled. 'I he officer entered, nnd behind h(m came the two men who had n turned from the fir grove; they cast murderous looks upon the prisoners. Cam vet felt that he had reached : his last hour, and in an irresistible need of ! comfort, of some one to confide in, he leaned toward Monnier, murmuring: “I have 10,000 francs in bank note* in my boots.” Meantime the officer had seated himself at a table; he spread out before

have told you enough—if you meet them, mum is the word—aye, yon understand?” Canivet felt a patriotic enthusiasm tiood his drunkard's soul, sentimental tears rose to his eves, and a devouring need for heroism and for ba'.tle inflamed him; he found comfort in bellowing the Eemouleur and in belaboring the wearv Kabotin. Monnier. who was in a calmer frame of mind, was full of vague anguish. At the turning point in the road they ran against a rails fione and very nearly upset: blows from the pol* rained upon the hor*e, which rushed away like a deer with his nose to the wind. “Attention,” said the servant, “there are
the dragoon*!”
“What do I care for them?” brawled the patron. “Where are they—oh? very good, I see them—I would like to pass below them—can I do it, Mounter? How many of them are there? Two—four, five—are you
afraid Monnier?”
The patrol halted. When the gig was ia hearing a horseman lifted his hand and cr*ed ont: “N* faster than a walk, car- [ me*!” Canivet instinctively raised hi* hand and slackened bis hers*’* speed, j "Look,” said be, “it is this luorutag’a fel* j low who speaks French *0 well.

“My men do not understand French; the sub-officer ai ne knew your language, aud he lies down there; he is dead, do you understand? He is dead through your fault fechweinkopf, Schiuderbaone*, brigand, as-

And the Lieutenant, his face convulsed by wild anger, grasped his revolver and took a.m at the prisoner. Monnier, falling on his knees, protected his face with his folded arms; the patron followed with his eye the movement of tne pistol and turned •side to avoid a shot, acd at length he repaed: “Since they did not understand French, how did they know what I said?” The Prussian appeared struck by the idea; he laid down his pistol, twisted his mustache, wiped the glass of his monocle, and in a disdainful voice he concluded; “i shall probably have you both shot.” “It was not I,” howled Monnier, “it was not I, it was he,” Canivet stood up; he attempted to speak, but he could not utter a sound, and s_ak down in weakness on the seat. The officer aneereo: “Go on—go on—” Canivet, with his shoulder leaned against the wall, his head sunk upon bis breast, was shaken by terribie chj'l, hia knees •truck together, the nails of his shoes rattled on the tiles of the halt Moonier hesitated to continue hit avowal, but bis glauce having fallen upon the boots which were dancing a jig. he articulated painfully: “It was he—as For me 1 was unwilling—he insisted upon it—wa had indeed eeen the

It waa his fault eotiraly, entirely—” “That is sufficient,” said the Lieutenant. And turning to bis horsemen he gave them a command. Four dragoona slipped cartridges into their rifles, and seizing Canivet under th* arms ther dragged him out of the hall. Monnier claimed the body of hia master, laid it in the bottom of the gig and made a sensational entry into the bourg.
