P'TITE LOUISON.

Tho five brothers lived with Lou 1 son, throe miles from Pontine, and Medallion oamo to know them first through having •old tliem at an auction a slice of an adjoining farm. He had been invited to their homo, intimacy had grown, and afterward, having a severe illness, he had been taken into the household and kept there till ho was well again. Tho night of his arrival Louison, the sister, stood with a

brother on either hand, Octave and Florian, and received him with a courtesy more stately than usual, an expression of the reserve and modesty of her single state. This maidenly dignity was At all times shielded by the five brothers, who treated her with a constant and reverential courtesy. There was something signally sug gestlve in their homage, and Medallion concluded at last that it was paid not only to tho sister, but to something that gave her great importance in their eyes.

Ho puzzled long and finally decided that Louison had a romance. Thoro was something in the way they said "P'tite Louieon, "in tho way they avoided all gossip regarding marriages and marriage feasting, in tho way they deferred to her on a question of etiquette in married life—as, for Instance, should the eldest child be given the fnmily name of the wife or a Christian name from her husband's family—which iuggestod it. And P'tite Louison's opinion was accoptod Instantly as final, with triumphant and satisfied nods on tho part of all tho brothers, and with whispers of "How clever! How adorable! Suoh beauty!"

P'tite Louison affected nover to hear these remarks, but looked complacently straight before her, stirring tho spoon in her cup, or benignly passed tho bread and butter. She was quite aware of the adoration In which she was held, and she gracefully accepted tho fact that she was an object of Interest.

Medallion hail not the heart to laugh at the homage of tho brothers, nor at tho outlandish sister, for, though she was angular and sallow and thin, and her hands were largo and red, thcro was A something deep In her eyes, a curious quality In her carriage which commanded respect. She had ruled thoso brothers, had been worshiped by them for nearly half a century, and the romanoo they had kept alive had produce' grotesque sort of truth and beauty in the admiring "P'tite Louison," an affectionate name for her greatness, liko "tho Llttlo Corporal" for Napoleon. She was not llttlo either, but about thomiddlo height, and hor hair was well streaked with gray.

Her manner toward Medallion was not marked by any affectation. She was friendly in a kind, Impersonal way, much as a nurse cares for a patient, and she never relaxed a sort of old fashioned courtesy, which might havo been trying In such oloso quarters, were it not for the real simplicity of tho life and the spirit and lightness of their race. One night Florlan— thoro wore Florlan and Octave and Felix and Isidore and Emllo—tho eldest, drew him aside from tho others, and they walked "together by tho river. Florlan's air sug gestcd confidence and mystery, and soon, with a voice of hushed suggestion, ho told Medallion the romanoo of P'tlto Louison. And each of the brothers at different tlmwj during the next two weeks did tho same, differing scarcely nt all in details or choice of phrase or moaning, and not at all in general fact# and essentials. I3ut each, as ho ended, made a different exclamation. "Viola! so end, so wonderful! She keeps tho ring—dear P'tite Louison!" said Florian, tho oldest. "Alow! *ho gives him a logncy in her will—swoet P'tlto Louison," said Octavo. "Maisl the governor and the cardinal admire her—P'tite Louison!" said Felix, nodding confidently at Mednllion. "Bicn! you should seo tho linen and the petticoats!" wild Isidore, tho humorous one of tho family. "Ho was greatr—«ho was an angel—P'tlto Louison joli!" "Attends! what love! what history! What jwsslon—the perfect P'tite Louison!" eried Kmlle, the youngest, the most sentimental. "Ah, MoHere!" he added a# if calling on tho master to rise and sing the glories of thla daughter of romance. Isidore's talo was after this fashion: "I ver* well remember the first of it, and the last of it—who can tell? Ho WAS an actor—ah, so droll, that. Tall, ver* smart, and he play in theater at Montreal. It is in the winter. P'tlto Louison visit

Montmtf. She walk past tho theater and an she go by she slip on tho mow and fall. Out from a door with a jomp como M'sieu Hadrian, and pick her up. And when he *oe the pretty face of P'tlto I-uulwn. his eyes go all fire and ho clasp hor hand to his breast.

Mademoiselle! Mademoiselles'ho say, 'we must meet ngnln!' "She tbarifc hhu ami hurry away quick. Next dm* she is skating, and she try to do tho dance of the Blue Fox upon the ioc. While she do it, some one com© up swift and catch her hand and say, Mademoiselle, let's do it together'—like that. It take her br«Uh away. It Is M'steu Hadrian. He now seem like the other won she know, but he have a sharp look, ho Is smooth in the face and hoar kind like a woman. P'tlto Louison, give him her hand, and they run away, and every ono stop to look. It is a r.md sightHe laugh and his teeth shLu.. and tho ladies say

tilings of him, and he tell P'tite

Louison that she look ver" fine and walk like a queen. I am there that day and I Bee all, and 1 think it damn good. I say, •That P'tite Louison, she befci them all'— I am only 12 yeans old then. When ho leave he give her two seats for the theater and we go. 5Jy go#h, that is grand thing —that play, ond M'siou Hadrian, he la a prince and when be cay to his minister,

•But, no., my lord, I will marry out of my stato and where my heart go, not the state wills,' he look down at P'tite Louison and she go all ml, and some of the women look at her, and there la a whisper all around. "Nex' day he oamo to the house where we stay, but the cure oome also pretty toon and tell her she must go home. And •o we eome out home. Well, what do you think! Nex* day M'sieu Hadrian oome, too, and we have dhmn good time—Florlan, Octave, Felix, Emile, they all sit and say: 'Perfalcementl' 'Ci!' 'CI!' to htm all the time. Holy, what fine stories be tell! And he talk about P'tlto Louison, and his eves get wet, and Emile say his prayers to him—by gosh, yes, I think. "Well, at last, what you guess? M'sieu he oome and eome, and last one day ho say that he leave Montreal and go to New York, where he get a good place in a big theater. His time in Montreal is finish. •"So he speak to Florian, and he say he want to marry P'tite Louison, and ho say, of course, that he is not marry aud he have money. But he is a Pnt«stan\ and the cure at first ver' mad, by gosh! But at last, when he give a hunder dollars to the church, the euro say yes. All happy that way for while. P'tite Louison, she get ready quick—holy, what fine things had she, and it Is all to be done in a week, while the theater in JJew York wait for M'sieu. And he sit there with us, and play on tho fiddle, and sing songs, and act plays, and help Florian in the barn, and Octave to mend the fence, and the cure fix the grapevines on his wall. And he show me and Emile how to play sword sticks, and he piok flowers and fetch them to P'tite Louison and show hor how to make an omelet and a salad like the chef of Louis Quinze hotel, so he SAy. By gosh, what a good time we have, but first one and then another, he get a sob In his throat when he think that P'tite Louison go to leave us, and the moro we try the more we are damn fools. And that P'tite Louison, she kiss us every one and say to M'siou Hadr'an, 'Charles, I love you, but I cannot go.' He laugh at her and say, 'Viola, we will take them all with us.' That night a thing happen. The cure oome, aud he look ver' mad, and he frown, and he say to M'sieu Hadrian before us all, 'M'sieu, you are married!' "By gosh, that P'tite Louison get pale liko snow, and we all stand round her close and say to ber, quick, 'Courage, P'tite Louison.' M'sieu Hadrian then look at the priest and said: 'No, M'siou, I was marriod ten years ago. My wife drink and go wrong, and I get a divorce. I am free liko the wind.' 'You aro not free,' the cure say quick. 'Once married, married till death. The ohurch cannot marry you again, and I oommand Louison to give you up.' "P'tite Louison stand liko stone. M'sieu turn to her. 'What shall it be, Louisonfr' ho say. You will come with me.' 'Kiss me, Charles,' she say, 'and tell mo goodby till—till you are free.' "He look like a madman. 'Kiss me onoe, Charles,' she say, 'and let mo go.' "And ho come to her and kiss her on the lips once, and ho say: 'Louison, come with me. I will never give you up.' "She draw back to Florian. 'Goodby, Charles,' she say. 'I will wait as long as you will. Mother of God! how hard It is to do right!' Bhe say, and then she turn and leave tho room. "M'sieu Hadrian, Jie give a long sigh. 'It was my one chance,' he say. 'Now the devil take it ail.' tho cure: 'We'll thrash this out at jrulg-

ment day, M'sieu. I'll meet you thero— you and the woman that spoiled me.' "Ho turn to Florlan and tho rosfc of us and shako hands, and say: 'Take caro of Louison. Thank you. Goodby.' Then ho start toward the door and stumble, for ho look sick. 'Give mo a drink,'he say and begin to cough a llttlo—a queer sort of rattle. Florian givo him a big drink, and lie toss it off. 'Thank you,' he say and Rtart again, and wo seo him walk over the hill ver' !nw, and he nover come back! But every year thero comes from Now York a box of flowers, and overy year P'tlto Louison send him a 'Mercl, Charles, mllles fois. Dieu to garde.' It is so every year for 25 year." "Whero is ho now?" asked Medallion.

Isidore shook his head, thon lifted his eyes religiously. "Waiting for judgment day and P'tite Louison," he answered. "Dead!" cried Medallion. "How long?" "Twenty years." "But the flowers—tho flowers?" "He left word for them to bo sent Just the same. The daughter, tho child of the other woman, send thom."

Medallion took off his hat reverently as if a soul were passing from the world, but it was only P'tite Louison going out Into tho garden. "She thinks him living?" 1)0 asked gently. "Yes, we have no heart to tell her. And then ho wish it so. And tho flowers kep' coming." "Why did he wish It so?"

Isidore mused awhile. "Who can toll? Perhaps a whim. He was a groat actor— ah, yea, sublime!" he said.

Medallion did not reply, but walked glowly down to where P'tlto Louison was picking Ixarles. His bat was still off. "Lot mo holp you, mademoiselle," he said softly. And henceforth ho was as foolish as her brothers.—St. Louis GlobeDemocrat.

A Prolonged Flash.

A simple and cheap mode of making a continuous flashlight, or electric torch, is described by a correspondent In the Philadelphia Reoord. His reservoir is a small vial. Its cork is fitted with two tubas, ono reaching to tho bottom of the fluid to rocelvo air blown in through the lamp, or from a pair of bellows, while the cfther, starting from near the top, carries out the jet of magnesium powder blown through tho first. Into the cork is let a ring of wire, rolled round with cotton wool or tow, placed at tho top of a wire rod attached to cork. The to^ or wool is sat" rated with met! *uted 11 *lt- nnd ignite" and the' jet of magnesium powder la veyed by the exit cyllc just thron the ring of flrw, and taus oontlnuoi|Hy ignited.

"No, son I never did no klllln myself, but I've stood round an seed folks get cheeked dear through, which Is more profitAblo. I calls to mind A killin down to old Ike Stockton's. There was a big crowd at Stockton's that June day. The corrals was full of pnek mulos, an bull teams, an wagon trains from tlio east, an white men, Mexioans, half breeds, an Injuns was a-mlxin an meanderin round, A-lyln an a-laughin an a-drinkin old Ike's whisky mighty profuse.

'Woll,' says Short Creek Dave, pointin to a dirty saddle colored half breed who wasmakin himself pretty numerous, 'that feller they calls Pickles is his nephfy, an you wants to look out a whole lot* fer I've heard him allow that the killin of his unole was mighty rank, an he didn't like it nohow.'

About this time Stockton came out from his barroom. 'Look here, Piokles,' he says, 'I've jest told three of my men to shoot you up a whole lot if you go to pitch that rope jest once, an they're goln to do It. Beln as the nowrt concerned you personal, I allowed it wasn't nuthin more ttmn friendly to tell you, Then, agin, I don't like to lose a good oustomer like you till I has to nohow,' "So old Ike he goes back to his barroom, an Piokles gits down an leaves his hoss standin an oomos back up on the porch.

MDo you know, Jack,' he says, 'I don't liko the onrespeckful way you talks of Injuns. I'm Injun part myself, and I don't like It 'No?' says Jack. 'I s'pose that's a fact too An yet, Piokles, not intendln nuthin personal at all, fer I wouldn't bo personal with a horned toad, I'm not only onrespockful of an Injun an thinks the gov'ment oughter pay a bounty fer the skelps, but I states a belief that a mean, ornery, mud blooded, unoakln, hoss steailn mongrel of a half breed Is lower yet, I holdin he ain't even people—ain't nuthin, in faot But, to ohango the subject as well an open up avenue for anuther round of drinks, I'll bet you, Piokles, you stole that hoss down thar' an that the "7—K" brand on his shoulder ain't no brand at all, but jest picked on with the point of a knife.' "Whon Jack puts it all over Piokles this a-way. we looked fer some shootln shore. But Piokles couldn't steady himself on the pinch. Ho was jest like lots of ponies I've seod. He'd rido right at a thing as though he was goln clean through or over, an jest the last socond ho'd shy an flinch an weak en. Tho fact is, son, it wasn't Piokles' fault. Thcro ain't any breed of man on earth but tho pure white as will play a des' pui':ite deal clean through an call the turn for life or death at tho close, an of oourse Piokles was only half white. So he laughed sorter ugly at Jack's bluff an allowed he'd order drinks without no bettin. 'An thon, Jack,' ho says, 'I want you to take dinner with mo. I'll have Ike git up 80innthin right.' "'I'll go you,' says Jack, 'if it ain't nuthin but sowbelly.' 'I'll fix you people up a feed,' says old Iko, 'but you can't do your feedin in no dinin room of mine. I'll fix It over In the camphouse t'other side the corral, an you kin bo jest as sociable as you please. There won't bo nuthin nor nobody fer you to hurt or disturb over there.' "Aftor a littlo their grub was got ready in the caphouse, an Jack an Piokles walks ovor side an sido.

'It ^on't look like Pickles was hungry much, after all,' says Jack. "They'd both pulled their guns as they sit down an put 'em In their laps, but, jest a^ I say, Pioklos couldn't stan the pressfre, an gittin nervous be grabbed fer his gun, an as he went to git it up tho muzzlo caught under tho tabic top an there his ballet was, all safo in "the wood.

ISO ATTRACTIVE WOMBS.

Their Good Looks Not a Secret.

(sraouuk TO oux uunr LUSM] No matter to what country she belongs, or whether she be black or white, as youi&n she desires to look well.

Women know the influence of beauty on m$n men rarely admire a beautiful invalid, but they do admire a woman in whom is blended good features and perfect health.

There is no secret about a woman's beauty it all lies in the care she devotes to herself, to removing from her system all poisonous impurities, and keeping at bay those fearful female diseases.

The flashing eye, elastic step, and brilliant complexion are never companions of a womb trouble only the distressed expression and aches, pains, blues, faintness, dizziness, bearing-dotvn feeling, etc., keep it company.

Lydla E. Pinkham1s Vegetable Compound removes female troubles promptly, and cleanses, invigorates, and consequently beautifies, the form of woman. Women, the world over, pay homage to it, and praise its discoverer. Your druggist sells more of it than all other female medicines.
