THE HEART
OF FORT
OoOo&oQc~joGoOQoQoOoOo£)oQoQ
At luncheon be surpassed himself.
Even Merovinge gave place to him.
The others had also their orders and
were as comparatively silent as it is
given to Frenchmen to be. They al
lowed Francois to take the floor, so to
speak, and he availed himself 6t the
chance in a manner that thrilled his
compatriots, llo was magnificent. He
sunned himself in the smiles of the
fair, he told stories of the duels he had
fought and the dangers he had braved,
be dwelt on his approaching departure
with a point and a quiver of feeling
that won him many compliments later
on round the mess table on board, and
all the time Cordelia's attention never
flagged. She sympathized and looked
terrified in the right places, lu fact,
she satisfied even the exigent vanity of
her admirer.
Francois, however, directed most of
his conversation to Pat Cannon, whose
labored politenesses delighted Cordelia,
for in spite of all Cannon was as jeal
ous as a red haired man has a right to
be. He was a young fellow of parts
and sagacity, but he was very human,
and Cordelia, like many another wo
man, dealt hardly with an affection of
which she felt secure. Colonel Len
nard understood the various elements
of the scene wonderfully and smiled
from time to time grimly enough under
his heavy mustache.
At length lunch and Francois' tales
of his own prowess came to an end.
It was still too early in the day to go
upon the roof, and Cordelia proposed an
expedition by some sheltered passages
to the fort, where In a cool gallery,
with embrasures open to the sea breeze,
the men might smoke and saunter for
awhile.
There was a pause. Then Colonel
Lennard slowly agreed to the proposal.
Canuon demurred a little, but his ob
jection was overruled, and Francois
led the way with Cordelia, his heart
beating in his throat as in imagination
he saw himself beiug decorated for his
achievement.
Cordelia had put on a big white hat
that only made a frame to enhance the
beauty of her face.
What Francois said during that mem
orable hour, his eloquence, his pathos,
can never be written dowu, but he cun
ningly led the fascinated girl hither
and thither, past endless sentries, who,
however, stood only rigidly stupid as
the couple paced the length of the for
tification. It may be added that Cor
delia herself was astonished at the ex
traordinary number of men on guard,
the fact being that Cannon had no idea
of allowin her to be tor one moment
out of earshot alone with her enamored
companion.
After a time a favorable opportunity
offered, and Francois made the request
he had bee working toward since he
arrived in Tcheu bay.
"Dear mademoiselle, you will permit
me a recollection?" he said, with eager
ness, as he produced his camera. "I
scarcely dare to ask so much, but in
the lonely moments at sea, when per
chance the last storm that 1 am des
tined co hear is blowing, I will take
one last look at that exquisite face.
You cannot refuse me?"
Cordelia's eyes were alight Never
had she looked so beautiful.
"To place with your mother and sis
ters?" she demanded, with what Fran
cois deemed to be a shy delight. That
was as it should be. She had clearly
no suspicion of his real design.
They were on one of the bastions.
Two old sun warmed guns frowned in
nocently out over the gleaming water.
Francois begged Miss Lennard to place
herself by one of these, turning an apt
compliment out of the contrast. He
was inclined to be a little contemptu
ous of the girl's blindness and her fa
cile responses to his flattery arift ad
vances. Moreover, he largely despised
the British, who could look with com
placency upnu these obsolete pieces of
artillery 01 remain ignorant of the
very patent fact that the whole forti
fication would be about their ears in
ten minutes under the shells of a man
of-war, against which they must be en
tirely helpless, as none of the ancient
specimens of cast iron he saw about
him could throw any projectile more
than 100 yards and that crooked. And
then he turned with zest to take a look
at the opulent island to the south, one
small corner of which could be descried
from the spot where he stood. Ah, the
future!
&
snrufseeeoS

He placed Miss Lennard and, retir
ing got his focus. In many places and
In divers positions he photographed her
and with her the fortifications coveted
by the war office at Paris.
As his professional outlook bright
ened the more warmly glowed the
words of the inflammable Gaul. At the
first picture she was "chore mademoi
selle." Before the last she was— But
never mind. Miss Lennard might read
this story, and then where should I be
If told?
That evening Merovinge 6aid:
"My friend, let me embrace you. You
have achieved a success. You have
achieved an immense service to France
and to me. Be trauquil. You will have
your reward."
Francois responded as was expected
of him, but his heart was unreasonably
heavy, and, though he tried to persuade
himself that the great desire he felt to
develop his plates was only the outcome
of professional zeal, that it had noth
ing whatever to do with the human in
terest contained in the photographs, he
was obliged before long to own that
his motives were not purely patriotic—
were, in fact, a little mixed.
8o the Loup-garou put out to sea, and
Francois, gazing back at the receding
fort crowned ridge, acknowledged to
himself that he had indeed conquered,
but the conquest had left a sting in his
memory. As the shores of China were
growiug with every moment more in
distinct there came across the ame
thyst water a dull, reverberating noise,
and then again, and yet again. It was
almost as if blasting were going on.
Captain Merovinge opined that the Eng
lish were probably trying to fire a sa
lute from "those guns!"
On the Tonquin station, it Is very
difficult, almost impossible,'to get leave
of absence, and so a weary montli wore
on while Francois yearned to return to
Chiua. The photographs aud informa
tion had been duly sent to the proper
authorities in Paris, and upon their an
swer Francois built hopes of securing
time to return to Fort Tcheu, for that
desolate spot he now knew had au Ir
remediable hold upon his heart. Judge,
then, of his feelings when a letter ar
rived for him bearing upon it the uu
forgotten handwriting of mademoiselle,

Dear M. Francois—1 hope you have not quite
forgotten Fort Tcheu and ourselves, (Nevairc,
mademoiselle!) Do you remember those photo
graphs which you took while you were here?
(Francois cast his eyes upon one of them which
hung over the locker.) I am going to ask you a
favor. (It is already granted, ma belle!) 1 was
very fond of the old fortifications, but our stupid
government had condemned them as effete. (Moii
Dieu!) 1 don't know whether 1 mentioned that
to you when you were here. (What perfld.v!)
They were destroyed the day you left. There are
new ones on the ridge looking toward the Is
land, but though they may be much more useful
they arc not nearly so picturesque as the old, and
1 should feel very grateful to you if you would
let me have a copy of one or two of the views
.vou took that day. My husband sends his com
pliments to ail on board the Loup-garou. And,
thanking you beforehand, 1 remain yours sin
ccrcly, CORDELIA CAKNON.

to Broil and itonHt Birds.
The directions for broiling are the
same for all small birds. Bear in mind,
however, that for the extremely small
ones a very hot, bright lire is ueeded.
as the birds should be only browned
consequently the time required for
broiling them Is very brief. Sluge and
wipe the birds, then split down the
middle of the back, remove the con
tents, pound the birds lightly to flatten
the breastbone and wipe thoroughly
with a damp, clean towel, taking care
that everything Is removed aud the
birds are left, perfectly clean for cook
ing season with salt and pepper, rub
thickly with soft butter and dredge
with flour. For squabs or quails about
ten minutes are required for broiling.
Smaller birds require less time.
To roast bird:* draw and wash quick
ly. wipe dry. season with salt and pep
per and pin a thin slice of pork on the
breasts put the birds In a shallow pan
in a hot oven and bake for 15 or 20
minutes. Partridges require 40 min
utes. Serve on toast with currant jel
ly and with bread sauce, which is
made in the following way: One pint
of milk, one half cupful of fine bread
crumbs, two tablespoonfuls of chopped
onion, one tablespoonful of butter, one
half tea^poouful of salt, one-half salt*
spoonful of white pepper, two-thirds
of a cupful of coarse bread crumbs
and auother tablespoouful of butter.—

Tfee Life of Coal Miner*
First, the boy of eight or ten is sent
to the breaker to pick the slate and oth
er impurities from the coal which has
been brought up from the mine. From
there he is promoted and becomes a
door boy, working In the mine. As he
grows older and stronger he is ad
vanced to the position and given the
pay of a laborer. There he gains the
experience which secures hiin a place
as a miner's helper, aud as he acquires
skill and strength he becomes, when in
the height of his manhood and vigor, a
full fledged miner.
If he is fortunate enough to escape
the falls of rock and coal, he may re
tain this position as a miner for a num
ber of years. But as age creeps on and
he Is attacked by some of the many
diseases Incident to work in the mines
he makes way for those younger and
more vigorous following him up the
ladder whose summit he has reached
He theu starts on the descent, going
back to become a miner's helper, then
a mine laborer, now a door boy, aud
when old and decrepit he finally re
turns to the breaker where he started
as a child, earning the same wages as
are received by the little urchins who
work at his side. There is no incen
tive for ambition in the average min
er's life. He cannot rise to places of
eminence and wealth. Only 1 in 500
can even be given place as a foreman
or superintendent, and these are posi
tions which few miners care to bold.—
John Mitchell in Cosmopolitan.
For Ilia Reputation, 9SOO.
The proprietor of a large dry goods
store had decided to tear down the old
6uilding and erect a uew one in its
stead. In furtherance of this plan lie
was* removing his goods to temporary,
quarters in another building.
The goods were nearly all out of thr
old structure when from some un
known cause it caught fire. The de
partment was promptly on hand and
soon had a stream playing on the
flames, but the merchant was wild
with excitement. Uunning up to the
chief, he urged him to greater haste.
"Never mind the goods!" he shouted.
"Save the building! I'll give the boys
a cheek for $300 for their pension fusul
If they don't let tin? fire spread beyond
that floor!"
"Why, you're going to tear the old
building dowu anyway, aren't you?"
asked the chief.
"Yes," he said, "but do you suppose
I want the insurance companies or any
body on eartli think that's the rea
son why it caught fire?"
By great exertion the fire was ex
tinguished with littie loss so far as the
building was concerned, and the mer
chant was as good as his word.—

Queer Creatures.
There aie microscopic creatures
which live in roof gutters and on the
bark of trees and are known as water
bears and wheel auimalcuhe. If allow
ed to dry up under the microscope, they
can be seen to shrivel into shapeless
masses, which may be kept for years
uninjured in the dried state.
On being placed after this long inter
val in water they gradually plump up,
resume their proper shape and move
about In search of food just as if noth
ing had happened. Much the same is
true for the minute worms which from
tlie substances in which they live are
known as paste and vinegar eels. Well
known is the famous ease of the desert
snail, which, ivtracted into its shell,
was fasti'iird 10 a tablet In the British
museum and showed uo sign of life for
seven years, when one morning it
found crawling hungrily about the
gluss case that formed Its prison.
('L 111M Sleeve.
At the batil of Omdurman a soldier
belonging io a Scotch regiment was
nearly killed [y bullet which struck
the ground Just In front of him while
he was firing in a reclining position.
On rising to move a few feet forward,
something came dov/n his sleeve. It
was the bullet. IIow It got up his
sleeve without inflicting damage can
only be accounted for by the fact that
it must have been spent by the time It
struck the ground lu front of him aud
the course of its flight up his sleeve
was Its last billet.
PlorlNta' Lives Are Short.
"It Is commonly supposed that the
men who. work In the mines or those
whose occupations necessitate the
breathing of poisonous fumes and gases
are the .shortest lived," said a promi
nent physician. "This Is a mistake,
^nd It will surprise many to learn the:
the highest death rate is found among
a class who breathe In the sweetest
odors—florists.
'The reason Is a simple one. The flor

frigid zone. From a greenhouse atmos-

point and often below zero. In sum
mer he has change to encounter, too, as
in the spring and fall. By force of hab
it he grows careless and often works
without his coat in the hot, artificial at
mosphere, and this Increases the dan
gers to which he is exposed. Lungs
and throat and stomach diseases, ag
well as rheumatism, find in the florist
the least resistance."—Galveston News.

'A great deal of unnecessary sym
pathy Is wasted upon the circus man
who stands up proudly in spangled
tights and lets another circus man
bring down a sledge hammer upon a
rock placed upon his head with force
enough to break it." says an old circus
man. "This Is spectacular, but is en
tirely painless and calls for no gerat
strength or endurance. Upon the cra
nium of the strong man Is put an iron
contrivance weighing about 150 pounds
and provided with cushions both above
and where It rests upon the head. A
pretty good sized rock Is used, and the
hammer Is a heavy one, so you can see
that the blow that cracks the rock is
really a serious one. But most of the
force Is taken up by the rock and the
rest by the Iron and cushions, while
the only sensation felt by the subject
Is a gentle tap.
No more difficult than this Is the
act whereby the hero of the canvas
tent permits a rock to be broken upon
his chest with a blow from a sledge
hammer. So long as the subject's back
Is free and docs not rest against any
solid object the trick is perfectly sim
ple. A little illustration: Take a board
up and let It lie freely In your hand
and hit It smartly with a hammer. It
Is difficult to hurt your hand, and the
thicker the board the less the sensa
tion. But now put your band on the
table and hit the board. Hurts, doesu't
It? Well, it's the same with the rock
on the chest"
How Our Ancestor* Quarreled.
A study of mediaeval rural life Is apt
to give the Impression that the princi
pal part of the life of the people was
spent in quarreling or In the commis
sion or prosecutlou of offenses. Our
ancestors certainly were a very liti
gious and a very disorderly people.
The records teem with instauces of men
and women drawing knives against one
another, of breaking into houses, of
prosecuting one another for slander.
Then we have such entries as these:
"It Is ordained by common consent
that all the women of the village must
refrain their tongues from all slander
ing." "Thomas, sou of Robert Smith,
is fined 12 pence because his wife Ag
nes beat Emma, the wife of Robert,
the tailor, and Robert, the tailor, six
pence because his wife 12mma swore at
Agnes the wife of Thomas." "It 1s en
joined upon all the tenants of the vil
lage that none of them attack any oth
ers in word or deed, with clubs or ar
rows or knives under penalty of paying
40 shillings."
Such entries, frequently occurring. In
addition to the Innumerable instances
of individual attack, slander, petty
theft and other Immorality seem to
show a community of far from perfect
virtue.—Llpplncott's.
Italians Love Tomatoes.
Italians more than any other people
value tomatoes, and each oue that
comes to perfection is as carefully teud
ed as though It were an apple of gold.
Not only do the housewives delight in
the fresh vegetables themselves, but.
generally speaking, those home tended
are better than any purchased at the
market, and so each one is jealously
saved to make tomatoe sauce for the
spaghetti, without which no Italian
Sunday would be Sunday. One soapbox
gardener one season sold enough toma
toes to give her quite a little pin money.
No one who knows the Itallau well will
be surprised to learn that many of the
boxes are devoted to peppers, for they
in truth furnish much of their spice of
life, and even the little Italian girls
know how to stuff and cook theui 1:1 a
dozen different ways that tempt the
palate.—Boston Transcript,
Coloring of Flowers.
A florist says that the law governing
the coloring of flowers makes a blue
rose impossible. According to this law
the three colors red. blue and yellow
never all appear lu jhe same species
of flowers. Any two may exist, but
never the third. Thus we have the red
and yellow roses, but no blue red ami
blue verbenas, but no yellow: yellow
and blue in the various members of
the viola family (as pansies, for In
stance), but no red red and yellow
gladioli, but no blue, and so on.
llohbcr 1'lniits.
Many plant growers become annoved
because the older leaves at the uase or
their rubber plants turn yellow and
fall off. This Is a natural process. It
does not indicate any defect In the
plant It Is simply the rlpeulng of the
old foliage, which cannot be retained
indefinitely. Sometimes, however, the
loss of foliage results from the want of
root room, but In such cases the plants
refuse to grow.
Railroad Telegrams.
When a traveler lu the grand duchy
of Baden, (jermany, wants to send a
telegram while be is in the train, he
writes the message on a postcard, with
the request that It be wired, puts on a
stamp and drops It Into the train letter
box. At the next station the box Is
cleared and the message sent out.
Matrimony and ISyes.
An old man was rallied by Ills friends,
nn his marrying a young wife, on the
inequality of their ages. He replied.
"She will be uear me to close uiy eyes."
"Well," replied a friend, "I've had
two of them, and they opened my
eyes."—Exchange.
