home last night to

git

him out of

the storm and away from that place* but he's toodhrunk now to talk. Sure there was no gettin' down here to bars for anybody. The cabman, sir, said no carriage eouid make it." "What cabman? That's one thing I want to know. Who is he? What became of him?" "Sure and how do I know, sir? He was a quiet, dacent man, sir the same that Mr. Waring bate so cruel and made Jeffers kick and bate him too. saw it all." "And was he at the Pelican last night? I must know." •?. "Sure he was indade, sir. Dojrte said so when I fetched him home, and though be can't tell you now, sir, ho told me thin. They all came down to the Pelican, sir, Wiring and Lascelles and the other gintlemen, and they had dhrink, and there was trouble between the Frenchman and Waring,— sure you can't blame him, wid his wife goin' on so wid the loot'nant all the last month, and blows was struck, and Boyle interposed to stop it, sir, loike the gintleman that he is, and the cab-driver took a hand and pitched him out into the mud. Sure he'd been dhrinking a little, sir, and was aisy upset, but that's all he knows. The carriage drove away, and there was three of thlm, and poor Doyle got caught out there in the mud and in the storm, and 'twas me went out wid Dawson and another of the byes and fetched him in. And we niver heerd of the murther at all all, sir, until I came down here to-day, that's God's troot, and he'll tell ye so whin he's sober," she ended breathlessly, reckless of her descriptive confusion of Doyle and Divinity.

And still the Irishman lay there, limp, soggy, senseless, and at last, dismayed and disheartened, tho captain turned away. "Promise to sober him up by reveille, and you may stay. But hear this: If he cannot answer for himself by that time, out you go in the battery cart with a policeman to take you to the calaboose." And thon he left, f. No sooner had his footsteps died away than the woman turned on her patient, now struggling to a sitting posture,

Lie still, you thafe and cur, and sware you to every word I say, unless you'd hang in his place. Dhrink this, now, and go to slape, and be riddy to tell the story I give ye in the mornin', or may the knife ye drove in that poor mummy's throat come back to cut your coward heart out."

And Doyle, shivering, sobbing, crazed with drink and fear, covered his eyes with his hands and threw himself back on his hot and steaming pillow.

The morning sun rose brilliant and cloudless as the horses of the battery oame forth from the dark interior of the stable and, after watering at the long wooden trough on the platform, were led away by their white-frocUed grooms, each section to its own picket* line. Ferry, supervising the duty, presently caught sight of the tall muscular form of his captain coming briskly around the comer, little Pierce tripping along by his side. Cram acknowledged the salute of the battery officer of the day in hurried fashion.

Good-morning, Ferry," he said. "Tell me, who were there when you got Doyle away from that woman yesterday?"

Only the three, sir.—Mr, and Mrs. Doyle and the negro girl." N a "None, sir. I didn't go In the house at all. I rode in the gate and called for Doyle to eome out. The woman tried to parley, but I refused to rcoognisw her at all, and presently Doyle obeyed without any trouble whatever, though she kept up a tirade all the time and said he was too sick to ride and nil that, but he wasn't. He seemed dttxed, but not druulc—certainly not sick. He rode all right, only he shivered and crossed himself and moaned when he passed tho Lascelles plaee, for that hound pup set up a howl just as we were opposite the big gate. He was all trembling when we reached the post, and took a hlg drink the moment he got to-his room." "Ye-ea, he's been drinking ever since. I've just sent the doctor to see him. Let the corporal and one man of the guard go with the ambulance to escort Mrs* Doyle out of the garrison and take her home. 8he shall not stay." "Why, she's gone, sir," satd I trry. "The guard told me she went out of the back gate and up the track towiMs Anatole's—going for all she was worth —just after dawn." "The mischief she has! What can have started her? Did you see her yourself, Sergt* Bennett?" asked the Captain of a stocky little Irish suUHer. standing at the moment with drawn saber awaiting opportunity to s^eaU to his commander. "Yes,.sir," and the saber catfie flashing up to the present. "She'd win*, over to the hospital to get some medicine for the lieutenant just altar our

bugle sounded first call, and she e^-ne runnin' out as I w»nt to call the oLl xt of the day, air. She ran back to the lieutenant's quarters ahead of rue, and was tip only a minute or two whin down she came wid some bundles', and away she wint to the north running, .4wild-Hke. The steward told me a moment after of Dawson's escape." %-i" "Dawson! escaped from hospital?4*

"Yes, sir. They thought he was all |y ri^git last evening when he was sleeping, and took the sentry off, ami at four this morning he was gone." iX'WM

Forty-eight hours had passed, and not a trace had b— found of Lieut. Waring. The civil odlcetwof the law had held grave converse with the se»ior* on duty at the barracks, and Cram's face Was lined with anxiety and trouble. The formal inquest was vj'l»eld as the flood subsided, and the *ri» f:Benee- of the post sargeon was most important. About the throat of the murdered man wwre indubitable marks

tfe

of violence. The skin was torn as by finger-nails, the flesh bruised and discolored as by fiercely-grasping fingers. But death, said the doctcfr, was caused by the single stab. Driven downward with savage force, a sharp-pointed, two-edged, straigh t-bladed knife had pierced the heart, and all was over in an instant. One other wound there was, a slashing cut across the stomach, which had let a large amount of blood, but might possibly not have been mortal. What part the deceased had taken in the struggle could only be conjectured. A little five-chambered revolver which he habitually carried was found on the floor close at hand. Two charges had been recently fired, for the barrel was black with powder but no one hagi heard a shot.

The barkeeper at the Pelican could throw but little light on the matter.. The storm had broken, he said, with sudden fury. "the rain dashed in torrents against his western front, and threatened to beat in the windows. He called to two men who happened to be seated at a table to assist him, and was busy trying to get up the shutters, when Lieut. Doyle joined them and rendered timely aid. He had frequently seen Doyle during the previous month. Mrs. Doyle lived in thej old Lemaitre house in the block below, and he often supplied them with whisky. They drank nothing but whisky. As they ran in the side door they were surprised to see the lights of a carriage standing at the edge of the banquette, and the driver begged for shelter for his team, saying some gentlemen had gone inside. The barkeeper opened a gate, and the driver put his horses under a shed in a paved court in the rear, then came in for a drink. Meantime, said the barkeeper, ^whose name was Bonelli, three gentlemen who were laughing over their escape from the storm had ordered wine and gone into a private room, Doyle with them. The only one he knew was M. Lascelles, though he had $een one of the others frequently as he rode by, and knew him to be an officer before Mr. Doyle slapped him on the back and hailed him as "Sammy, old buck!" or something like that. Mr. Doyle had been drinking, and the gentleman whispered to him not to intrude just then, and evidently wanted to get rid of him, but M. Lascelles, who had ordered the wine, demanded to be introduced, and would take no denial, and invited Mr. Doyle to join them, and ordered more wine. And then Bonelli saw that Lascelles himself was excited by drink —the first time he had ever noticed it in the year he had known him. The third gentleman he had never seen before, and could only say he was dark and sallow and did not talk, except to urge the driver to make haste,—they must go on but he spoke in a low tone with Mr. Lascelles as the/went to the room, and presently the rain seemed to let up a little, though it blew hard, and the driver went out and looked around and then returned to the private room where the gentlemen were having their wine, and there was some angry talk, and he came out in a few minutes, very mad said he wouldn't be hired to drive that party any farther, or any other party, for that matter that no carriage could go down the levee and then he got out his team and drove back to town and then Bonelli could hear sounds of altercation in the room, and Mr. Doyle's voice, very angry, and the strange gen tleman came out, and one of the men who'd been waiting said he had a cab, if that would answer, and he'd fetch it right off, and by the time he got back it was raining hard again, and he took his cab in under the shed where the carriage had been, and a couple of soldiers from the barracks then came in, wet and cold, and begged for a drink, an%» Bonelli knew one of them, called Dawson, and trusted him, as he often had done before. When Dawson heard Lieut. Doyle's drunken voice he said there'd be trouble getting him home, and he'd better fetch Mrs. Doyle, and while he was gone Lascelles came out, excited, and threw down a twentydollar bill and ordered more Krug and some brandy, and there was still loud talk, and when Bonelli carried ip the bottles Doyle was sitting back in a chair, he'd down by the other officer, who was laughing at him, but, nevertheless, had a knife in hand—a long, sharp, two-edged knife—and Doyle was calling him names, and was very drunk, and soon after they all went out^nto the rear court, and Doyle made more noise, and the cab drove away around the corner, going down the levee through the pouring rain, one man on the box with the driver. That was the last he saw. Then Mrs. Doyle eame in mad, and demanded her husband, and they found him reeling about the dark court, swearing and muttering, and Dawson and she took him off between them. This must have been before eleven o'clock and that was absolutely all he knew.

Then Mr. Allerton had told his stofy without throwing tho faintest Ught on the proceedings, and the hack* driver was found, and frankly and fully told his: that Lascelles and another gentleman hired him about eight o'clock to drive them down to the former plaee. which they said was several Mjnares above the barraeks. He said that he would have to charge them eight dollars sach a night anywhere below the old cotton-press,, where the pavement ended. But then they had delayed starting nearly an hour, and took another gentleman with them,and that? when driven by the storm to shelter at the Pelican saloon, three squares below where the pavement ended, and he asked for his money, saying he dare go so farther In the darkness and the flood, the Frenchman wouldn't pay, because he hadn't taken them all the way. He pointed out that he had to bring another gentleman and had to wait long time, and demanded his eight dollars. The other geniiatnaa, whom 1MS found to be one of the officers at tin barracks, slipped a bill Into his hand and

A VERY PRETTY FRENCH GOWN,

ferent color and stuff, these being in many cases covered with embroidery and soutache, or applications of lace. For example, a dinner dress of velvet or brocade will open upon a tablier of beautiful lace, the same lace being used to trim the corsage and sleeves. Cloth costumes for the autumn will have an upper skirt, opening "en redingote" upon a skirt of velvet. For evening dress, it is whispered, tunics of crepe de chine and other soft, light materials will be draped upon a skirt richly trimmed in all sorts of ruffly, fluffy ways. Skirts of lace over underskirts of silk and satin will also be much worn. Velvet, they say, will be more than ever popular as part of a costume and as trimming,

The bertha and the "petit collet" Will remain in fashion, but will be variously modified. Berthas in velvet, cloth, moire, brocade, etc., will be seen, and beautiful trimmings will edge many of them.

A pretty French gown for early autumn has a single skirt made very clinging upon the hips and wide at the foot. It is of violet. crepon, trimmed at the foot with a band of black guipure, which is apparently caught down by black velvet ribbon, put on in shape and held by knots of the same. The corsage is of black guipure over mauve. The girdle is of black velvet, and the corsage trimming is of black velvet ribbon. The crepon puffs which form the upper part of the sleeves are caught down by black velvet ribbon knots. The lower part of the sleeve is cf the black guipure. Every one talks of the reign of black and white for the coming season. It is a swing of the pendulum undoubtedly from the greens, purples, etc., with which we have been overwhelmed of late,

A good many "bals blancs," as they are called, are given nowadays for very young girls, and at these semijuvenile functions only the simplest and freshest of toilets are considered in good form. A charmingly pretty pattern is shown in the sketch from the New York Tribune. 1

YOU*Q GIRL tST ACCORDIOS DRESS, authority for the foregoing. It is of white silk, with accordion plaited skirt without trimming, accordion plaited waist and a full accordion plaited ruffle, edged with lace around the neck, nearly coming the very full sleeves on the shoulders. A white satin ribbon inches in width is passed around the waist, crossed behind and brought around in front, where it is tied in a bow.

The new sleeve is very much gathered on the shoulder, widening oat toward the elbow. The stiffened hems of skirts are said to be going out and in some cases the dirt* Is again made to trail slightly behind. Pretty little zouaves of velvet torn part of the bodices of many autumn costumes in cloth. Brown is to he a fashionable autumn color, superseding navy blue. Yellow is much worn by fiashionable women abroad.

him an Irish thief, and then the big soldier in uniform said he wouldn't have a man abused because he was Irish, and Lieut. Waring, as he understood the name of this other officer to be, told him, the witness, to slip out and say no more, that he'd fix it all right, and that was the last he saw of the party, but he heard loud words and the sound of a scuffle as he drove awav.

HINTS FROM PARIS AND FROM NEW YORK ON AUTUMN STYLES.

The Coming Belgn of Upper Skirts Predicted—The Bertha Has Come to Stay. A Parisian Gown for Early Fall—The

New Sleeve.

Paris authorities continue togive hints of the coming reign of upper skirts as tunics. These, they say, are to be relied upon to give effect to the rich stuffs for winter costumes and are to be draped upoa or opened over lower skirts of dif-

Secrets of Gastronomy.

French chestnuts and salted pistachio nuts are popular bits between courses, but salted almonds cannot be displaced while an epicure survives to sip his claret.

Just now there is nothing more effective against the white tablecloth than a a compote lined with grape leaves and heaped with the purple and pale green trophies of the vineyard, among which nestle some juicy pears showing their golden sides,

Those who pride themselves on their housekeeping always have on hand several cans of soup of the best brands, so that in the emergency of unexpected lunchers or diners they may have after 10 minutes'boiling a proper first course.

The tomato is pre-eminently a relish, and in New York restaurants this is a favorite dressing for meats, especially for some of the cheaper sorts. Fortunately it is not easily spoiled in preparation, as its base consists merely of strained tomato, thickened. The flavor may be varied by boiling onion, paresly, etc with the tomatos before straining. Butter, salt and pepper are essentials to good tomato sauce.

The dress may be made in any soft material suited to a child's requirements,

Mrs. Poget'4 Swaii Boats,

In Boston in the public garden swan boats sail over the pond. And the owner and manager of the Boston swan boats is a woman. Mrs. Paget, for that is the name of the woman whose fortune consists of these remarkable vessels, does not herself stand at the landing and solicit "fares," but leaves that practical part of her business to a man. She goes very frequently to the landing, however, and studies the interests of the swan boat industry. She makes a very comfortable living from her novel business, which she has managed for 14 years.—Exchange.

Oar Public Schools
