N nsunny Sabbath afternoon in the wonth of October, )IHW, the Cheval er de Gavrollos and his ouly daughter Blancho, a beautiful young gul between sevonteen and eighteon years of age, attonded sorvico in the Chapel of Oar Lady. in the little village of Ktrotat, situnted some ten

or twelve English miles from the seaport town of Havre, in Normandy. | There was a scanty congregation, conpisting for the most part of peasant women, who, during the religious coremopies, whispered much among them elves aud otherwise paid uausually Littlo attention to the ministrations of Father Andre, the cure. 'lhe servico over, all scemed atly relicvod and pressod rapidly out -g:othe open air to find tho chuichyard thronged with eager groups of villagers who were eagerly discussing nows just communicated by telegraph from the seat of war The Chevaner and hnis danchter were almost the last to leave. As they lingerod in the porch they were joined gwy Father Andre, who salufed| thcm with friendly resvect | Seen thus rice toluce, vnw Uneval or and the Little priest offered a striking contrast, for the former was a tall, powerfully built man of forty-five, with erect, military carringe and a face still precerving much of the freshuoss of youth; while the latter, short, plamp and rotund, was well on in the sixties, with a head that drooped between his shoulders and hair frosted over with silver rime. “Bad news, Chevalier!” cried Father Andre, nodding nervously at the groups in the churchyard. *You have heard of comge?” “Yes, Father,” was the reply; “the Cier- ﬂ mans are rapidly advancing, and we are soon to taste the horrors of defeat in grim earnest.” As he sioke he glancod somewhat wist- | fully at the fair face of the girl, looking | eagerly and wonderingly into his—a spirit- | ualized and softened roflection of his own i face, without the lines leit by time or | SOITOW. “Grim earnest, as you say!"” cried the little priest, with a pumacious toss of the head. “But let them look to it —let them take care; thoy may go a step too far, the:o | Germans. Our bayonets will dig their graves, though they were twenty times as many!” The Chevalier sighed as he responded: “After all, they are bnut paying an old debt. We overran their country as thoy aie overrunning ours.” “But it is different—it is widely dillerent. The great Napoleon—-" “Sowed de olation and misery far and wide,” interrupted the Chevalier. “He was a great soldier, a miraculous soldier!” “A great soldier, granted, but a little man, Father. We are reaping now what he sowed before we were born!” Father Andre, perspiring violently, nuttered an angry exclamation; then, conquering his exc.tement, he forced a smile and added: “Ah! but 1 know—every ono kno vs—yon are a man of peace! From the first you have said we were in the wrong. Well, it may be possible; but our folly, if it were folly, was expiated by the foolish Emperor at Sedan. Now it is another affuir. The country is in danger, Chevalier. All true mon are flockinz to the standaid of our beloved France. I swear to vou that if I were a few years younger, and did not wear this black coat, I would Le fighting at the front myself!” Once more the Chevalier glanced tenderly at his danghter, and his countenance grew troubled with some inner pain. “Will you dine with us to-night, Father Andare?” he asked. “I have something very particular to say to you.” "Mnny thanks, Chsvalier; I will come. I must crave mademoiselle’s pardon a thousand times if 1 have frightened her with my warlike talk.” “I am not frightened,” answered Blanche, with a gentle smile; “only I was thinking how terrible is war! Why cannot men love one another, and remain at peace?” + Quitting the churchyard, the Chevalier ‘and Lis daughter took a path which led by a cirenitous route up to the summit of the sea-cliffs. On the very .ammit of the cliff, to the right of Etretat, looking seaward, stands the tiny chapel of Notre Dame de la Garde (Our Lady of Safety), the door of which is | open day and night, and the altar of which i 8 hung with all so.ts of rade votive offerIngs, made by the fishermen and those who live there. Ilither father and daughter bent their footsteps, and presently entering the little chapel, stood for a few minutes in meditat on. | Over the altar hung a rude picture, representing shipwrecked sailo s on a raft, while above them, thioagh an opening in the cloud, appeared a mirnculous vision of Our Lady teiself. Only one other person was in the building—a very old womankneeling before the picture, praying volubly and telling her beaids. Presently she rose to her feet and hobbled to the door, still muttering to herself. She paused on the cliff and looked down at the calm sea, moving her head painfully from sids to B.de. The Chevalier and his danghter approached Ler. B “'(4'100‘1 day, mother,” said tho former. Were you offering up a prayer for some one out yonder on the sea?” The old woman looked at him from head to foot, then at the fair girl at his side. “My son is not a fisherman,” she anBwered; “he is a soldier.” “Well, it is the sameo thing. There are perils on the land as well as on the ocean, and just now worse perils. Where is your Bon at present?” “At the front,” was the reply. “The good God only knows if he lives still.” She added savagely: “The w.ccursed Germans! I have heard that out therein Lorminn, where the Prussians came, onr folks poisoned the spring wells. It was well done—well done!” “Nay, mother; it was wickedly done, if done at all!” cried Blancho, indiznantly. “But I'll never believe it of our brave Countrymen!” The old woman looked at her balefully. “It is all vory well,” ehe returned, “for

There is one God for the roor and another fpr the rich; and itis the poor who must sullor for all the evil our rulers do!” So saying, and onco more subsiding into broken mutto:ings, the crone moved feobly away. lather anl daughter turned sadly and walked slowly alor:g the summit of tho clil’s, “Blanehe, my child, you heard what the old womnn said? Sho was right. In these sad times of war the ovil falls only npon the poor, whilethe rich are spared. GOJ knows 1t is not just!” She gazod at him earnestly, as il not quite gathoring his meaning, b fore she repliod: ’ “But it is not only the poor who are Aighting now for the l"nt{:erlnud. Tho Journals aro full of the names of those who are flocking to take service against the enemy, and the flower of our old nobility is among them. Many have gone oven as common soldiers. Ah! but they are brave.” The Chevalier's face flushed; but the flush faded, and the old look of pain returned. | “Come, Blancho!” he said, hurriedly, and | they walked on, After following for about nmile the foot- | path along the ¢ iffs, they tuined inland, ‘ and ecrossing the platean of grass and | thyme, came upon open fields, whore all the summer the yellow colza hal been | growing. Presontly they approached the shadow of sic woods. A molest gate opened to a nariow avenue winding throngh the trees, and following this avenuo for some distance thu_,' came in sight of the old chatoan which for mny a generation had been the dwe!ling of the family. It was an o'd-fashioned house, with a grand old porech anl terraco facing the south, and survounded on every sido by woodland and belts of pasture. The garden in front of it wus arrniged in terraces and shady walks, and behind it were several orchards connocied with the home farm. Seon in the subdued light of that autumnal day the place looked somewhut forlorn and a little neglected; for the Chevalier de Gavrolles, though of o!d descent, wa: not | arich man, and foun! it no‘essary for l many reaons to econom .- his income. One gardener, with occasional assistance from Houzel, the forester, had to keep the flowe:-lols and parterres in decent order; one old man servant or butler, in addition to the serving maids, had to superintend matters within the house, A certain pieturesqueness was added to | the chateu by a peacock in full plumage, who was stratting o1 the terrace and sproading h s irised tail in thoe rosy sunsct light. A: they approached, Blanche left her fa her's side and ran toward the bird, which greeted hor with its harsh discordant cry. “I’oor Blanche!” he muttered; “she is so happy now!” ' Ho sat down on the terrace and lighted | acigar. Hi. thoug its were traveling back | to the day when his beloved wife had ! died, le .ving him a lonely widower, with | that one child. Sice then Blanche had | been the joy and comfort of his life, and l they had dwdlt togcther in solitude, seoing | little or no socioly, and seldom quitting | their country hone. A student—almost a | book-worm—he hal belied all the traditions of his houso by declining at the very outret a military carcer, for which he had neither taste nor inclination. He had | held a commission during his youth und seen somo active sorvice abroad; but when the empire came he had left the urmy, !Ilﬂ.l‘l'icti and led tho lifo of a quiet country gouatlem . Father Andre cam > recording to appointme:.t, and the three dined toze’her, waited on by old Hubert, the butler, who was clad in the faded livery of the fam.ly. More than once during the repast the talk turned uj on the contral topic of public interest; and the lit le priest, warmed with wine, had o:ecusion to wo.terate his belligerent sentiments, to the huge delight and approval of old Hubert, whe almo t dropped the dishes in the excitement of his eager svmpathy. At last Blanche loft the table, Hubeit reti-ed and the two gentlomen were loft alone ovor their coftee. For some minutes they talked on genoral mattors: then, after an uneasy glunce at the close 1 door, the Chevalior said: “I wished to speak to you, Father Andre, on a subject which concerns the happiness of my dear danghter.” SARLY The priest’s eyos sparkled, and he pursed his lips knowingly. “Blanche, as you know, is now nearly eighteen. Should auything happen to mo she wou!d be aloae in the world. . “The fact is, Father Andre, that I cannot quite acquit myself of selfishness and 1 want of patriotism at u moment so threatening to the liberties of my dear country. I have hesitated for a long time, but now my mind is made up. I have not dmwu‘ a sword for over twenty years, but last night I wiote to the administration, offer~ i ing my services as an old officer and a volunteer.” | An impulsive “bravo” was on Father Andre’s lips, but he checked himself, and assumed a look of extrcme concern and sympathy. “But Mademoiselle Blanche? Does she know? Have you told her?” The Chevalier shook nis head. Unable to restrain his enthusiasm any longer, Fathor Andre reached out his hand and grasped that of his entertainer. “It is a noble determination! Mademoi‘selle Blanche will offer no obstacles, I am sure.” : ~ “I do not think she will,” returned the iChevnlier, “whon I hive made my duty plain to her; for though she is a child, she has rare courn . What I have further to say concerns her future. During my abgence, and afterward, if—if anything should happen while I am away, she will remain here at the chatean.” “Certainly.” “Mere Fevereau, the housekeepor, is her old narse, almost her foster-mother; she will never neglect her charge. For the rest youa, old friend, will look in fiomn time to time, to see that ull goos well. Should she be low-spirited and anxions, you will com-" fort her, will you not? And, should I never return——-" Tears rose in his eyes; but conquering his emotion, and brushing the moisture away with s h.und, he proceeded: “Should T never leturn, you will watch over her and protoct hor. Iler worldly position will be sccuro —I have attended to all that—and she will remain mistress es the chateaun.” “Nay,nay,” cried the priest good-humor-edly. “The good God wili bring you safely back to mademoiselle. You will kill a few rascally Germans, and retarn like a hero when the war i; done!” “But you promise to do as I have asked you? You accept the commission 8s a sacied trust?” “As a saored trust, Chevalier.” Presently the Friest rose to go, for the evening wa= ‘vell advanced and he was an

early bird. Before departing he nccompanied his host to the drawing-room, a lurge chamber furnished in the style of louis Quatorze, and here thoy found Blanche all nlone, seatod at the harmonium and singing one of the sweet old hymns ouece so ' popular in Normandy. Thoy enterold quietly and stood listening, ‘When the - hymn was finished the Chavalior bent over | her and kissed her fondly. | “I shull tell her to-night,” he whispored to Father Andro as they parted at the porch. o returned slowly to the drawing-room and found that his danghter had drawn buck the henvy window curtaini and was gazing out upo.a the garden, flooded by the wmys of the rull moon. The moonlight ¢.opt in, shone softly npon her f.co and clung roand her tall, shight form liko n robe of mgnetic brightness, Quietly and 'sileutly the Chevalior joined her in the rocoss of the oriel-window, and they gazed ' out upo. tho night togother. “Ig it not benutiful?” said the girl, hold‘ing his hand and raising it to her lips. M Hark! I think 1 ean hear the sound of tho sea,” ~“It is the wind in tha treetops,” replied the Chevalier, almost vacantly. Blancho, with a sad smilo of infinite fondness, placed his hand agiinst her cheok, and kept it thore teuderly, while her dreamy oyeos still soarchod the moonlight on the sleeping woods. At last he could bear the suspense no longer. Not withdrawing his hand, he looked down upon the face of his daughter and said in n low veice: “Blanche, I have somoething to say to you ——somothing, my chiid, that may eause you somo surprise, and perhaps o little pain. In a sow days, my (ﬁu-ling, I must Lmve you and go upon a journey.” . Something in the tone mote than in the words startleld tho girl. She turned quickly, and with an eager ery gazod into her father's eyes. “Father, what is it? Something has haproened. Going upon a journey? Where are you going?” Ho took her head between his two trambling hands and kissed her gently on the forehead before ho ropliod. “To the fiontier, Blanche. The country is in danger, and I am goinyto take my place among the soldiers of France.” CHADPTER 11, BLANCHE, It was rome minutes before DBlanche could realize tho full simiticanco of nor father's words; and even whoen she did so sho did not weep and wail in tho manner of hysterical dar sels. IHer father had not misestimate 1 her character; rhe posgo:sed both courage and sols-control. Yet it would have been seen, had the sunlizht boen shining upon her, that tho lifeblood had fled from her cheeks, leaving thom white and cold as mirble, and that in her eyes theie was a fixed expression of horror and pain. Trembling violontly, she clung to her father, as if she already felt the iron hand which was about to snatch him from her. “IFather, you will not go! France has thousands upon thousands of soldiers, an 1 I have only you? Promise m: you will stay—promise, and 1 kuow yon will keep your word." “My word is already given,” replied the Chevalier, g ntly; “and it pled.e; wme to accept sorvico ia the defense of my country. My darling, 1 have hesitated a long time in my great love a d eare for yoa; but the events of the last sow davs have decided me, and if I am now delayed I should feel myseolf little botter than a miserable coward.” “No one woull think you that!” ex claiimed Blanche. “All the world knows that you are brave.” “Bilanche, my darling, do not unman me. You know now which way my duty lies. Suftfer me to fuliill it; you must! you will!” “1t is so sudden, so terribls,” she roplied. “And wo wero so happy here togother. Oh, father, muast you go?” “You know I must.” “Thon I will try to bear it—l will try to justify your faith in me. And in a lhttle while you will come back to me, will you not?" “Yos, dear, GGod willing.' As he spoke he clasped her in his arms, and kissed her tenderly again and again. Both were strongly moved; both seemed to feel the shadow of an efernal separation. But with a stiong effort the noble girl con(uerol her agony tefore it could conquer her, and sought with all her power to lighten the burden of her father's sorrow. The next morning when they met she was calm and resigned, though very pale. She had spent the geater part of the night in prayer, and sacred strength had comse to her from the divine source of all our smiles and tears. lHer father looked at her in wonder; for he knew the depth of her devotion to him and realized fully the supremo effort sho was making for his sake. Two days later came letters from the administration accepting his voluntry services and bidding Lim to repair at once to headquarters. Quietly, almost calmly, Blanche saw to the preparations for his departure; but on the Snst night before the separation the anguish became too much for her and she fairly broke down and sobbel upon his breast. Then taking from her bosom a small gold medallion attached to a slender golden chain, she placedit in his hands, saying: “Father, scel It contains my mother’s portrait‘and mine. You will wear it, will {.on not? FPerhaps—God knows!—it will be a charm to keep you safe, to bring you back to me. Oh, father, father!” she added wildly, “what shall T do when you are gon> away?” He drew Ilfer softly to him, smoothing her hair with bis hands and lookinglinto her eyes. T Blanche, my child,” he sajd, “do not let u 4 bo seltish in our sorrow; do not let us forget that ours is a common misery, shared by thousands upon thonsands, not only hera in France, but yonder in Germany, beyond the Rhine.” “Ah, my father, you are good. FEvenin your great sorrow yon feel for others more than for yomself. But all thy world knows —even Father Andre has said it in the pulpit—our enemies are monsters, without pity and without love.” “Nay, Blanche,” he answered, gently, “they are only unfortun te men like ourreolves, speaking a differort tongue, but capable of the same holy affoctions. They are not to blame, but the evil rulers who urge them on. It is with a sad heart, my child, that I draw the sword against any follow-creature; but ‘ho peril of France is 'my justification, and whatever blow I stiiko will be a blow of self-defonse.” \ [TO BE CONTINUED.] ’ e e e e ot l Hereditary Liar. “Father, did you over used to lie when you were a boy.” “No, my son,” said the paternal, who evidently did not recall the past with any distinctness. . “Nor mother, either?” persisted tr: young lawyer. “No; but why?” “Oh, beeause I don’t see how two people who never told a lie could have a boy who tells as many asTdo. Whezs could I have got it from?”

INDIANA HAPPENINGS. g L EVENTS AND INCIDENTS THAT RAVE LATELY OQCCURRED, An Interesting Summary of the More Tme portant Doings of Our Nelghbors—Waeddings and Doaths - Crime, Casualtios and Genorul News Notom Indiaun’s Siamoese Twins, A Kokomo special says: One of the most wonderful freaks of nature ever known in this part of the country is now cansing o good deal of talk in this and adjoining counties, Last week, twelve miles southwest of this city, Mrs. Honry Jones had born to her twins, inseparably connected at the hips and lower abdomen. The two trunks are joined together at the base, with o heand at each end, and the lower limbs protrude from each gide of the body, where the trunks are conneeted at the hips. No vital organs are connected, except the spinal columu, which is continuous from one end to the other. Each breathes and pulsates quito independent of the other, and both are porfectly formed and have froe use of their limbs." Along the abdomen there is no line or mark toshow where one beging and the other ends, except one umbilical cord, which served for both. The infants are very plump, well developed, and apparently as hearty as any children of their ages. Both nurso from the mother and bottle with regular movements, and are rogular in other respects, the passage being located at the side. Both are females. Their joint weight is twelve pounds, and they measure, from crown to crown, twenty-four inches. The lower limbs are of normal size. They have bright sparkling blue eyes, and are not in the least peevish, and when not nursing or asleen, content themselves sueking their thumbs. Thousands of people are flocking to see the infants, the medieal fraternity being well represented. No physician was presentat the birth., The mother is getting along nicely. The father is 24 years of nge, the mother but 15, and the present is the second birth in the family. The mother is a spare built woman, weighing but ninety pounds. All the physicians who have made an examination express the belief that the children may live, and think the indieations entirely favorable. Good Crops I'Junixwl. Despite the almost incessent rains the indications are that the corn crop throughout Indiana will be u good one this season. J. B, Conner, editor of the Indiana Farmer, is daily in receipt of correspondence from every part of the State, and he says that if sneh reports are reliable, as he has noreagsonto doubt, the wet weather has had little or no bad offect “The corn got a good start this season,” he remarked, *but it looked as if it would be flooded out almest, in the beginning. The weather we have been having, however, has done infinitely more good than all the harm that was ocenstoned by the ratns. There wiil be a good crop unleas some unforseen obstacle prevents, ! ihink it will reach about %0 or 95 per cent. We won't have as muech corn this season ag we did last, for in ISBS there were about 135,000,000 bushels harvested, but it will reach a high figure. Wheat is not as good as it has been, but then it 18 not going to fall very low. In short, the tarmers all over the State will have good crops if everything continues as it is at present.” Whipped by the White Caps, The first repetition of White Capism in Crawiord County since July 1888, occurred mnear Leavenworth, the other night. Pete Cresgriff and wife were taken out and whipped by a band of upward of sixty men. These same parties last fall or winter were put out of n shanty, their furniture removed andthe shanty destroyed by fire. It appears that the latest offense is leading or rather driving their 4-vear-old daughter to the same sin which the mother has always followed. The child was forced to accept the embraces of a patron, who showed preference for her. There are less comments publicly made of the affair than if a horse had been whipped, and there has been nothing but “they deserved more than they got.” They are of the lowest depths, and yet their habitation is visited largely by drummers from the cities and by many young men.

SIMON CAMERON, MacVeagh and wife, Mrs. Haldman, Jumes Cameron, Simon B. Cameron and wife, and Mrs. David Watts, a granddaughter. Tho funeral will be held in Harrisburg, Simon Cameron was born less than twenty-five miles from the spot where he did, in 17€9, the son of a poor country tailor. Apprenticed to the printer’s teade ho worked in Washington in 1821 on tho Congr ssional debates, and there became acqua nted with Prosident Monroe, Heo was & Democrat in johtics, and in that year of 1821 ho wrote a letter favoring the eloction of John . Calhoun to the Presideney. Pror to going to Washington he was editor of the Doyleston Democrat. In 1828 he was elected public printer of Pennsylvania.. In 1825 he became adju-tant-geno. al of his native State. In 1828 he had the contract to build a canal from Lake Ponchartrain to New Orvloans, and relinquished that work at the request of Gon, Jackson to retmin to Pennsylvan’a and aid in organizing the first national convention held in the republic, At that convention, held in Baltimore, he was olfered and declined the chairmanship. Selling out his interest in the canal contract ho became a banker at Middletown, He had placed James Buchanan in the Senate, an'l when the latter entered Polk s eabinet Mr. Cameron, in 815, succoeded him in the Senate. Mr. Cameron was reelectod to the Senate in 1%)6, as a Republiean, and in the convention which nominatod Lincoln was Pennsylvania’s candidate for the Prosidency. When the final conflict camo Mr., Camer n’s friends voted for Lincoln to defeat Seward, and Mr, Linceln was nominato |, Mr. Lincoln named Mr, Cameron for Secrotary of War, and he held that oflice until 1862, when he retired and accepted the St. Petersburg mission. The moving cause of his retirement from the war oflice was his recommendation that the negroes be armed, which was considered by Mr. Lincoln and Mr Cameron’s fellow-secre-taries impolitic at the time, Mr. Cameron was granted by Mr. Lincoln the privilege of nmaming his successor, and upon his nomination My, Lincoln made Edwin M, Stanton his war secretary. When in 1864 the movement to defeat the renomination of Mr. Lincoln became pronounced the Prosident recalled Mr. Cameron and placed his interests in his charge. The veteran politician immediately went to Harrisburg and induced the legislature to petition Mr. Lincoln to accept a second term, This action was imitated by the legislative bodies of the other loyal States and Mr. Lincoln’s renomination was assured. Mr. Cameron re-enterei the Senate [in 1867 and served until 1877, when he Iresigned and was succeeded by his son Don Cameron. Mr. Cameron has never lost interest in politics, and even in his advanced old age he has wielded an almost antocratic power in the politics of his own State: He was a born leader of men, aggressive in his opinions; strong in his determination; quick to apprehend and to act: a shrewd observer of his fellow-men, STOLE HER OWN CHILD.
