I The Old Reliable Druggist fHE METAL SOLDIER (Original.) Antnlne Gmpanl. a tobacconist la a imall town war Parts, tired of having the wooden figure standing before his shop backed by gamins, concluded to replace it by a metal on*. Siaoe be was to make a change be might as well (ret up something unltjne. ao he went to tbe city and employed a young ?rt student to design a figure for him Tbe artist hit upon a soldier lighting hla pipe. Tbe butt of hla gun rested on the ground. With one hand be held a match; with tbe other shaded the flame from tbe wind, only there waa no flame. Then a happy thought struck Gaspard. A tube waa run from the pipe down through the statue and into the shop. The match waa hollow and connected with the gaa pipes. A mov able plate covered with phosphorus waa adjusted to the roughened end of the match. By meana of a wire leading to the abop the plate could be pulled and the gas lighted. Gasparvl sucked a rubber tube leading from tbe pipe, which would send forth clouds of to baovo smoke. Then he would turn off the light from the match. When the Franco- l*nisslan war came on. Gaspard's son. Pierre, aged eighteen, became a French soldier. His old mother, who doted on him, begged hard for him to stay at home and wept bit ter tears when he marched away. Then came the news that the Prus sians were carrying everything before them and marching on Paris. One evening Just after dark old Gaspard'* door was flung open, ami Pierre rushed tn, pale, bleeding, evidently fleeing for his life. "Is the place occupied by our troops?" "No." "Then I rnn lost" "Why so?" "I volunteered to lnrk near The en emy's advance posts to gain informa tion for our general as to wfiich route they would take. I was discovered and pursm-d. In a few minutes they will be here " "We can hide yon." "It would be useless. They will search every house in the town and burn every atlek of timber in It to uncover mo. My ouly hope was that our troops were ben-, and since they are not I shall be taken and hanged for ? spy. I have been tired on and am wounded. 1 can go no farther for losa of blood." Meanwhile the rrusstsn outposts, consisting of a dozen men. advanced to within half a mile of the town, whore they were halted by the lieuten ant In command. "The place may be oconpicd by the French." he said. "We must be care ful not to be drawn Into a trap You. Battel, and you. RubMoux. go for ward. If you are shot, we shall know that the I'reach are there. If they are not, come hock and let us know." The two men pushed f< wnnl to the very verge of the town. Across an open space they could s;-o old <:,i?p?rd'? shop, which was dimly lighted, as usual. "Hack. Rnbldonx," whispered Mattel. "The place Is occupied." "How do you know ?" "I can see the figure of a soldier." "Where?" "There, before thst little shop." "By gar! You nre right. What shall we do?" "Rotnrn and report the matter hi the lieutenant." Back they wont and reports that the French were In town. They had seen a soldier on post before a shop. "Nonsense"' exclnimcd the lieuten ant. "If they wore there they would have put out a picket or a vedette. He ordered the tnen to spread them selves as skirmishers and move stealth lly forward. When they came to the ,Maco whore Battel had discovered the soldier, they stopped, anil there, true enough, he was. standing before old tJaspnrd's shop. "What's he doing?" queried the lien tenant. "lie's on post." xnlil Rubl<V>nx. "Per haps he'a guarding the mnn we're aft or." "Tn'i* n fool. or. rather, a coward You wish mo to abandon tho pursuit of ?vne who doubtless bold* In '? -taut so cnMa. That follow mi? not tv n sol dlor at *11. S'ngnlnr tli.it lie stands so *tlll. Come; wo arc wasting time." At that moment tho tlgatv tn front of tho shop ? as dimly illuminated hy a tiny flame. ami tlio Prussians could plainly s?>e that tho mat* was a soldier, with hla gun resting on tho ground and loaning against hla shoulder. Tho .1a mo mac and foil na of ono pulling on tho plpo. and atnoke was alao vlalblo. "Sacro!" exclaimed tlio llrutonant "Ho'a a *< 'Id lor, after all. and whi-ro thoro la ono there mu<t be more. Tho French a no not fool* to occupy a town with one man. There must be at least a battalion, but they are very poor aol llm to leave no picket out hire. We might enpturo thetn." Tho officer decided to go hack as fast a* to could and reported that there waa a force of tho enemy in the town, with no picket out. ami they might bo aurwinded and taken. An hour later two rogtn'onta of tho lino moved out Ono encircled tho town, while the other advanced to demand surrender. Tho only French soldier in the town was a metal ono that had the coolness aa tho Prussians advanced to light hla plpo. Old Gaapard after his sou's arrival bad gone out to reconnciter, ami In con eoalnient h - had heard Pattel nnd P i btdonx wnvot* about hla statue. When tboy withdrew ho wont hack, got up a team to remove hla son and to gain time conceived the plan of mak ing hla soldier smoke for tho Pmaaiana. When they came in force, Pierre had Juat boon driven away. RUSE BRISSOX. SPRNIG ?
