More than one of the pretty country Sirls would have liked to know him , but he hardly addressed a word to them , held hack by timidity and shame of his poor leg. He never complained , and when he watched his friend3 danc ing at the fair , with their arms about their partners' waists , he accepted his position with the philosophy of a coun try fatalist. But one day he suffered the sorrow of a great disappointment. He wanted to serve in the army , but first he must pass the examination with the others. He marched limping along the road with them , his hat or namented with long tri-colored ribbons bens which floated in the breeze , and sung at the top of his voice with an animation which made him forget he was not like the rest of the world. But his joy was short-lived. "Unfit for service ; deformity of the bip , " pronounced the officer. "It is unfortunate , " added the gen eral , "without that he would have made a splendid soldier. " Bancroche departed alone , his heart full of sadness and feeling the flower of courage and loyalty which had sprung up In him wither from lack of nourishment He reached the farm where he was employed without meet ing anyone , and going to the bed where he slept he threw himself down and wept uncontrollably. Some time after this Bancroche was employed on the farm of a certain Benoit , a well-to-do farmer , Tvho had a very pretty daughter named Mariette. Her white teeth made a line of ivory behind two rosy lips always parting in a smile. Her figure was dainty , her arms strong , her feet untiring ; alto gether she was the picture of vigorous beauty. She might have been a Ceres oY" Rubens , in all the strength and freshness of her 20 years. And , of course , Bancroche fell madly in love with her. S6e was not long in per ceiving her victory and , as she was something of a coquette , she did all she could to encourage him. She was so good to him , looked at him with eyes so sweet and bright that the cripple was fired with love and hope , letting himself dwell on happy dreams of the future , in which he saw himself departing from the church with Ma riette , his wife , leaning on his arm. He said many tender things to her , and once , putting "her mouth very close to his ear , she had whispered : "Bancroche , I love you ! " And after all , why not ? he had asked himself. To be sure he was a cripple , but he invented a thousand reasons to persuade himself that this was not an obstacle. In marrying one thinks only of the qualities of the heart. He had fs\ ? wv M &y srfffiAvj "SEIZE THE WOMAN ALSO ! " come of a good .family. Jle was held in esteem by M. Benoit and was second to him in command at the farm. All these thoughts reassured him and he spoke to Benoit of his hopes. To his joy , Benoit gave him his hand willing ly and said he would talk to his daughter - ter- who had just gone into the hay field. Bancroche followed at a dis tance , and himself unseen watched Ihe farmer approach Mariette and address her in a low Voice/ Then , after a mo ment , he saw her throw back her head • with a peal of laughter and heard Iter cry : "With his leg ? And I would be a Mme. Bancroche ? No ! No ! No ! " Poor Bancroche did not return until evening and then he took his place a : supper without noticing the sad looks of Benoit , nor the haughty glances of Mariette , who was willing to be loved , but angry that he , a cripple , should have dared to ask her hand. "I understand , M. Benoit , " he said , after supper ; "we will say no more about it. I was wrong in forgetting my leg. " AB ( * more than this he would not say , going on with his work as usual , always brave , sometimes .sad , but never troubling either father or daughter. And when , three months af ter , Mariette married Sylrain Gillet. proprietor of the Coq-d'Argent herd , he assisted at the wedding and no one noticed that his eyes were rod. There was great excitement in the village of Saint Georges. The Prus sians were coming. They had already accupied the neighbor ! jg village and Lwenty times an hour each person look ed anxiously down the road 10 the for est , the direction from which the ene my was expected to come. All the ' ible-bodied men had gone to war , with • : he exception of Sylvain Gillet. who Tcmhlefl at the thought of being killed. - \ drinker and a braggart , "deceitful and ' J _ L _ S. , i _ * - . ' V. _ _ _ . . ii : * • * " ' ' * • ' J . .fr..v { .uf-uLSItA „ . ' , . wicked , he had made his wife terribly unhappy , and Mariette , made wber by time , had often thought regretfully cf the honesty and sweetness of Han- creche. Gillot knew his townspeople looked upon him disapprovingly 'or remaining so quietly at home , iuslead of going to fight for his country , au.l he determined to win , by one held strike , their appreciation and gratitude. So , taking a rifle , he hid himself in the bushes at the roadside in : ho forest , and when the advance guard passed he fired and killed one soldier. Thc re sult of the deed was not long delayed. Two hours afterward a Prussian bat > talion occupied the village and the in habitants , men and women , were or dered to assemble in the public square. In fairly plain French the commandant addressed them : "One of you has shot one of our sol diers. I give you one hour to produce the murderer. The village is sur rounded and no one can leave. If in an hour the assassin is not in my hands I will set fire to your village at its four corners. Now go home , and at the first beat of the drum come back here. " The peasants turned away , asking each other in frightened whispers who had fired the shot. Bancroche entered the inn of Coq d'Argent , and as soon as he saw the white , fearful face of Gillet he said , brusquely : "It was you. " Gillet tried to answer , but Bancroche interrupted him authoritatively : "Don't take the trouble to lie ; it was you. " Mariette and two oy three others , who heard his words , stopped in star tled surprise. "What would they do to him if they knew it ? " asked one. "They would shoot him. And if they do not know it they will burn the village. " All were silent , terrified , except Gil let , who cried , with chattering teeth : "In the name of pity , do not give me up. " "Wretch , would you have us all burned ? " At this instant the drum sounded. "Listen , " said Bancroche , rising ; "listen a moment. You , Sylvain Gil let , must not die , for you have a wife. But neither must the village be burned. I think I see a way. Stay where you are , Gillet , - and you others , swear to keep silent. I will take care of the rest" And they all departed , leaving Gillet. "Who is guilty ? " cried the officer , in a terrible-voice. Bancroche made a step forward and said quietly , "It was I. " ' ' "You , " said the ofiicer , "a cripple ! " "That does not prevent my firing fc. gun. " "Your name ? " Simon Martin , but on account of my leg I am called Bancroche. " "You confess that you killed the sol dier. " "Yes. " , "Do you know you will be shot ? " "I do. " The commander could not but ad mire the calmness of Bancroche's Speech. The crowd listened , breath less , amazed that Bancroche , known to be so peaceable , could have fired the shot , but glad , nevertheless , that the village would be saved. "Eight men ; behind the church ! " commanded the officer. At this moment Mariette , forcing her way through the crowd , ran toward the officer crying , "Stop ! he lies ! It was not he. " "What are you saying ? " "I tell you he is not guilty , it was not he. " "Hurry with the man , " cried the of ficer. ficer.Mariette Mariette escaped from the soldiers who tried to hold her and'threw her self on her knees before the officer. "Monsieur , I pray you , do not kill him ! He is innocent ! Do not kill him ! Oh , I beg you ! " "What is he to you ? " asked the of ficer. "Your husband , your brother , your father ? " "He is Oh , in the name of God , do not kill him ! I love him ! " The-officer burst into a loud laugh. "Then kill me. too , " cried Mariette. "But you have done nothing to de serve it. " She sprang up with a bound and standing before him struck him de liberately in the face. The soldiers ut tered a cry of rage. "Seize the woman , also ! " cried the officer furiously. "We will die together , " said Mariette , placing herself beside the cripple. "Come , Bancroche. I love you. " They were shot behind the church. The soldiers dug a grave in the ceme- tary and buried them together , mar ried in death. The village of Saint Georges was not burned. Judlan Women Who Farm. In the Indian village on the ban lis of the Minnesota river , about one mile down stream from ijhakopee , lives a band of Indians who till the soil , make bows and arrows and moccasins , and trade with the neighboring farmers. Among the villagers are some interest ing women , one of them being Mrs. OLherday , the sister of Shakopee of Lit tle Six , one of the most noted chiefs of .the Sioux nation. The women of the Shakopee colony assist in the farm ing and make beautiful beadwork , which they- sell at the summer rTort hotels.
