the rallying cry of the fighting line was
"We are sent by the emzerorl"
Paris wept with joy.
When Vansittart reached the Garo St.

This was one side of the question , the
other presented itself when. an hour after
ho reached the Tuilerles , ho joined the king
and his principal oflicers of state in the
councIl chamber.
here gloom took the place of lubilation.
\Vitli downcast and snddened faces the chief
men in France made him cognizant of the
bitter truth.
They seemed to invite reproach by their
words. A neglected army , a depleted navy ,
deficiency In guns and stores. skeleton
divisions and interior commissarlat-these
2 . were the rusted weapons they opposed to
the burnished panoply of Germany.
A plethoric treasury was their worst In-
1 dictment. Money 'as being lavished now
but was It not too late ?
Only once did vansittart betray resent-
I tnent. When ho heard of the meagerness
Inmunitions and supplies ho said , doubtIngly -
Ingly and surprised :
"Can this be possible with Pompler at. the
i head of the department ? "
, Silence followed his question. The mom-
I hers of the council look'd at each other ,
until the king passionately explained :
"I protested against It , Vansittart , but
court influences were too strong for me.
Admiral Pornpier was placed on the retired
list , the department waa split up info naval
and military branches and they are eon-
trolied by the Comte do Ia Feray-Mitler and
I l3arOfl do Champmai. respectively. "
l.v. I "Are these gentlemen at present discbarg-

"Yes. "
"It is not their fault , probably. Liancourt
will you see to it that Pornpier is recalled ,
. by telegram , and given complete control.
' If lie thinks these titled nonentities can
help him , let them be retained. If not , they
can be provided for elsewhere. "
Liancourt. smiled. This man , inscrutable
to others , was an open book to Vansittart.
It. was easy to sco that he rejoiced at. the

"Who are you ? " said Jerome , coolly. lie

stantly by every jack-in-office who had

monarchy.

Vansittart continued : "Lest thera be any

you plainly that In the ircsent desperate

The crestfallen due apologized , handsomely

Liancourt unfolded a map , "Ten days

Although not routed , the French troops
have been boated by superior numbers , by
superb concentration , and particularly by
overwhelming artillery fire. The northern

and in momentary danger of investment.
General Daubisson has , however , offered
stout resistance on both lines of advance.
Ito was admirably served by the railway
companies , and has thus been able to check
the enemy's progress-much more than they
anticipated. Their southera column has ,
unfortunately , been more successful. It has
repelled , almost disastrously , two attacks
from Nancy and Epinai , and wo fear that
the diversion of a large force from I3elfort
wilL mean the immediate launching ot a
fourth army corps collected at Mulhausen , "
"Is that all ? "
"No. The worst has yet to ho started. The
only efficiently mobilized troops in France
are already at the front. The German armIes
have halted to consolidate and bring up reserves -
serves , Here they are vastly superior to us ,
Supposing that theIr next forward move be
effectual , I fall to sea how we can hope to
arrest their march on Paris. "
"You summarize affairs rapidly , " cried the
king itii some bitterness , Ito resented this
terse version of his own convictions.
"Your majesty , we may deceive the enemy ,
but , as you have said , we cannot deceive our-
selves. "
"Where Is the fleet ? " Inquired Jerome.
"Protecting the Cabes canal , massed In
squadrons at. Marseilles , 'roulon , } 3rest and
Cherbourg , and patroling the channel , "
broke In the due do Tangier.
"And the German fleet ? "
"So far as we know , resting securely behind -
hind the guns of Bremerhaven , Hamburg
nnd iClel. They cannot hope to match our
navy , neglected thoUgh it may have been. "
Vansittart ignored the momentary ear-
casni of the concluding remark.
"Let every available ship ho sent from nil
the points you have named , monsieur , Into
the North sea and the Baltic , with orders
to do as much damage as possible to German
commerce , ports , navy and fortifications. Cable -
ble instructions to commanders of vessels in
distant parts of the world to sail for the
nearest German colony and find occupation
there. This , I think , had better be put In
operation at once. "
'The due rose , but ho murmured : "ven a
sIngle German cruiser in the Mediterranean
can do infinite damage to the Sahara works
at Gabes. "
"I have not forgotten that possibility , "
said Jerome quietly , and the secretary for
the navy , in his now-born zeal , rushed impetuously -
petuously from the room to his admiralty
headquarters.
Vansittart took some writing materials
and began to draft a memorandum , the
others watching him curiously. Without
ceasing to write ho inquired :
"Is the secretary for war present ? "
"I am here , " replied General Vlll neuve ,
"Are you well supplied with horses ? "
"On the contrary. I5have had difficulty in
collecting an additional 40,000 which have
been requisitioned at the front. "
"But you have them ? "
"My lists are nearly complete , I intend
to begin forwarding them in batches tomorrow -

"As for forage ? "
"Fortunately we are well found in that

"Good , I want you to collect 10,000 horses ,
strong and fast , and In good condition , together -
gether with a week's supplies for them and
, Ooo men , at Sedan , as soon as possible , "
"At Sedan ! " broke in several voices In
Utter astonishment , Sedan lay to the north
of the Iresent theater of operations , In any
case , It was a place of evil omen to the
French mind.
Jerome paused a moment in his writing ,
pulled the map towards hIm , scrutinized it
for a moment and exclaimed : "Yes , It is
easily accessible by rail , and Is just the right
locality , "
No one questioned him. General Vilie-
neuve , not wishful to oppose the millionaire ,
yet ventured on a suggestion ,
"We can hardly afford such a large num-
her , monsieur , I pledged my word to Gen-
cral Daubisson that. ho should have 40,000
within a week. "
"lIe will ! " said Jerome , still writing , "I
bought 20,000 before leaving the states.
They will all reach Havro , Brest or Cherbourg -
bourg between tomorrow , Sunday and Tuesday -
day , "
A general buzz of subdued comment broke
out at the table , The king looked at Van-
sittart's thoughtful face with something
like wonderment in his own. Liancourt's
air was ten years younger as he murmured
to his nearest neighbor : "The emperor has
not changed then , "
, General Villeneuvo resolved -
solved to carry out instructlonR wlthnt
comment In future ,
Jerome scribbled on industriously ,
" \'hcro is Colonel Lo Breton ? " was his
next question.
"lie commands the cavalry' division with
the main army , " said Viliencuve ,
"Capital , The right man In the right
place. I am sorry that ho should have to
relinquish his post for a time , "
At last be ended his task , and carefully
revised the manuscript. The watchful
council noted that lie appeared to be very
particular as to Its phraseology , Several
times ho corrected it and once sought the
assistance of the king as to the exact
significance of a French idiom ho had used.
Whea quite satisfied with the produc-
tirni , lie folded the document and handed
it to Villeneuve , saying : "General , I entrust -
trust the execution of the task detailed
therein to you , Daubisson and Le lireton.

larapnraso of Arizona Jim's favorite declaration -

attend to Vansittart's mysterious mandate ,

contentment of one who has finished with
a weighty undertaking. 'I hope to hear

even greater injury by making our secrets

"You have brought us new life , my
friend , " said tlio king , seizing Vansittart's
banil impulsively.
"You have plenty of life , " was the cheer-
fut answer , "hut you need rousing a bit ,

He wrote a telegram addressed to the'

interests , however , demand that they shall
not be Injured by any hostile power. Full
explanations will be given to the British
ambassador in l'aria. "
"Germany will think many times before
it acts once so as t impel Great Britain
to actively side with us In this struggle , "
he explained to those present , and the ines-
sage was dispatched.
When the council dispersed Jerome sought
his private apartments. lie missed Evelyn ,
and in response to his inquiries was told
that the qucen , worn out with nursing her
ailing child , during the harass of recent
events , was takIng a much-needed rest
whilst his wife was looking at'.r the infant

left the boy with his attendants.
Jerome smiied when he reflected that
even In this troublous time the two mothers
would find more to say concerning the
youngsters than about affairs of state. As
he commenced a letter to Pompler , Arizona

About the same hour in the afternoon the
German emperor learned of Vansittart's
arrival in France , from the same source that
the latter looked to for information , the
English newspapers.
"Von Waldersee , we must defeat Daubisson
at the earliest opportunity. "
"No doubt , sire , but it will not be
judicious to cross the Meuso in force until
we are reinforced. "
"Nonsense We must attack Im.nediately.
The French have received a much stronger
reinforcement than wo can hope for , and
we risk a great deal by delay. "
" 110w can that be , your majesty ? "
"The American , Vadsittart , has somehow

The postman's 'whistle sounded early one
June morning.
"Letter for you , miss , " be cried cheerily
as he handled a yellow envelope postmarked
"Tampa , " "and one for your mother , too. "
Alice hastened down the side porch to
receive them and eagerly returned to her
mother. The next half hour was spent In
reading and re-reading the story of hardship
and hope from the boy at the front.
"Pretty hard times down here , " Jack
wrote , "Lots of food , but not enough

We boys 'wouldn't do a thing to them , Bet-
let give Alice a wheel , I think we can
spare it. It should do her good , "
The next day , Sunday , Alice went to
church with her mother. The hope of 1mw-
lug a wheel rung in her ears and she had
laid awake half the night thinking of what
splendid rides she and the girls next door
would take , The pastor preached a sermon -
mon on the joys of self-sacrifice and no-
selfishness ; how it is better to give than to
receive.
Mice listened as though in a traqcc , And
she thought and thought of the miaister's
words , ' Somehow she could not just give up
tier hope of having a wheel and going home
she spoke to her mother about it "Jack
wanted it , " Alice argued with all the joy
of childish enthusiasm , and the mother
finally said she could have one the next day ,
That afternoon in Sunday school the
thought of a. wbeei.continually dinned itself
lii her ears. and strange to relate the
thought of the boys in camp who wore tired
and hungry , under a tropical sun , also came
to her. In the evening at her bedside Altec'
began her evening prayer and asked God
to help her big brother Jack. The minister's
words on self-sacrifico again came to her.
She believed in Goti and ( lie prayer took on
a now meaning. It was a fierce struggle
within her and unselfishness triumphed.
Alice decitlod then and there to give up her
wheel and to spend the mnohey on Pies and
cakes , and roast beef and chicken for Jack ,
iio begati to wonder how many plea she
could buy for 50. And whether chickens
were hotter than pies , and what cows cost ,
Then she went to sleep and dreamed of a
great big pie lying on the floor with heaps of
50 gold pieces on top , ' roosters standing on
the edges , cows in time backgrottntl , and they
were all crowing , mooing or : crying , "We
want to go to Jack. " .
Next mornln. . Alice dressed herself early
and crept down to her motlior'sroom , Time
mother awoke at her approach and Alice told
her time plan. ' To tbink'was to act , and by
10 o'clock the same morning a score of the
neighbors were in Alice's room , busily engaged -
gaged In' baking pies , cnkes , cookies , chickens -
ens , roast beef and other toothsome timings
for the soldier boys iii Jack's regiment. Even
the little girls next door came in between
school times to wash and pick over berries.
And the next morning a huge box of the
choicest lot at edibles that ever went south
was sent to Jack , accompanied by a letter
explaining , what had caused the contribu-
tion.
tion.There
There was a jolly crowd in Tampa two
days later. Th boys hail just been paid ,
but money could not buy in the shops of
Tampa anything to equal this gift. A corn-
pany meeting was held the same night after
dress parade and a ot of money was raised
to buy Alice a wheel and show that they
appreciated the gilt. An order with the cash
was then forwarded to a northern firm and
ten days later AlIce not only received a
wheel , but the heartfelt thanks of a corn-
pany of soldiers who will never forget her.

MOZART ASA CHILD W'ONDFIIt.
these early compositions. Time lover of
Mozart's music recognizes the touch of that
master hand even in tlmeso simple harmonies
where lie many of time themes developed
later by hits more mature genius ,
The court and people might well stand
amazed at time boy who had to be lifted up
on the organ bench , yet played any music
Placed before him or improvised on any eug-
gested theme , Many a guinea went into the
rockets of his enterprising manager and
father for private exhibitions of the genius
of the infant composer , Lords and ladies
besieged his door , begging that they might
pay their goil to hear tile wonderfui ctmiia
improvise upon their favorite themes ,
Still , ho was a very natural child in other
respects , It is related that during one of
these private recitals , while Mozart was in
the midst of a composition which charmed
every listener , he espi d a favorite gat corning -
ing into the room , Ills bands dropped oa
the keys , lie slid down from time bench aimd
ran to pick up the cat and fondle it , It
was as natural for him to play the organ
end compose music as it is for any other
child to "play horse" or slog "ring around
a rosy , " When he was composing his aym-
phony , dedicated to the queen of Ens-
land , lie remarked to his sister , who was
standing nenr "Now , don't forget : remind
me to give the French horns plenty to do. "
The notebook written at this early age is
scribbled sometimes in pencil , at others
ink has been used , but. Its great value Ike
in the proot that his musical genius was
no ripe almost from the very beginning ,
The original manuscript of the symphony
Is carefully preserved In the library of the
liritisli mnuseuni , but the notebook was lost
for more than 100 years and brought to
light only within the last few months. This
picture of Mozart was taken at about timis
time , the origiual painting being preserved
in the Mozart museum at Salzburg.

MOZART'S NOTE 1300K
in the rain , knowledge that must be learned
from gypsies or Indians. Gypsies anti Indiana -
diana know how to do it , but there is notlm-
tag niysterlous in the accomplishment. Anyone
ono can leant it. To begin with , you must
learn to keep your matches dry-amid before
that , to be aura you have matches. Leather
Illatchl cases are likely to let matches get
damp ; carry a metal omme. Then always
make a habit of having some old newspaper -
paper in your best protected pocket. You
can get on without it , but it is good woodcraft -
craft to .10 things tile easiest way , anti the
paper makes flrebuildlng easy. Also ho
sure you always imve a good knife : of course
no self-respecting boy needs that advice ;
but girls who want to glorify their sex by
showing what girls can do in the woods
need to look to the knife problem. Select
a place for the fire where it won't set either
timber or tents ablaze , .
Clear the ground around it of inflammable
trash ; a few stones roughly piled up between -
tween it and the wind vili often save
more time than it takes to gather and place
them.
If everything is soaking look for a fallen
tree or an old stump ; shave off the surface -
face at one spot and then you can get good
dry splinters from the old wood beneath :
often a little "grubbing" in the stump or
underneath the log will bring forth a handful -
ful of good dry wood without any use of
the knife. Gather dead twigs from the
trees , not from the ground ; build your liie
with care ; hurry makes worry here and It
is to be hoped you wear a broad hat so that
3'OU can protect tile infant blaze from un-
I tithely breezes with it.
Last and largest order-maIm the rest
stand around and take orders from you
when the fire is your job : otherwise someone
ono will proudiy dump a great wet plank
down on your struggling little flame and
then say , when it goes out , " 'hy , I thought
you could build a fire so well : what do you
SUIPOSO is the matter with you ? "

"Well , what Is it ? " '
"What did the Dead sea die of ? "
"Bobby , " cried Tadley to his young hopeful -
ful , angrily , "my father used to whip me
vhen I behaved as badly as ou nrc doing. "
"Well , answered Bobby , thoughtfully. "I
hope I'll never have to tell my little boy
that. "
"Papa , " said little 4-year'old Margie , "I
think you are just the nicest man in the
whole s'orld. "
"And I think you nra the nicest little girl
in the world , " replied her father ,
"Courso I am , " said Margie. "Ain't it
queer how such nice people happened to get
Into the same family ? "
Clara had been told that babies wore made
from the dust of the earth , One day when
the rain was falling in torrents she stood
gazing sadly out of the window ,
"Why , Clara , what makes you look so
sad ? " asked her mother.
, ' 'Cause , " she replied , "I've been wanting
for a little brother to play with nail now
there won't be any dust left to make one. "
Tommy , aged 4 , had discarded his shoes
aqd stockings one warm afternoon , and
while playing encountered a wasp , lie ran
into the house crying and his mother asked
what the trouble was , "I j-just kicked a
f.fly , " sobbed the little fellow ,
" \Vell , that's nothing to cry for , " said
his mother ,
"But t-this one had a es-splinter In Its
t-tail , " was the rejoinder.
A little girl was just recovering from an
attack of scarlet fever , and the first tlay alma
was able to sit up she said :
"Mamma , I guess I'll ask papa to buy mo
a baby carriage for may dohlic , "
11cr brother , a precocious youngster of 1 ,
overhearing the remark , exclaimed : "Well ,
you'd better strike him for it right away ,
for it you wait till you get well you'll never
get it. "
The 1'yoar.old baby was lying In lmer crib
one morning when , as papa opened a closet
door alma noticed , apparently for the first
time , the shoe case hanging on the inside ,
It was made of linen and hami rows of corn-
partmonts for tbo different pairs of shoes ,
"I'apn , " she said , "won't you Iung up
some holes to Put my shoes in ? "
A certain little girl , living not far 'from
New York , has always had impressed on
her youthful mind-sometimes at cost of
rather lialaful experiences-that it is wrong
to cry , She had become flrmiy convinced
that this was a rule without exceptions ,
when suddenly an exceptIon presented itself ,
TIme little girl was astonished , but rose
nobly to time occasion , mind' this is the story
thereof , as told by a friend of the farniiy :
A few weeks ago the little girl's baby
brother died , anti the friend , meeting her
soon afterward , sympathized with her re-
gariiing the loss ,
"Yes , " said the child , "and when lie died
papa cried and mamma cried , Then I crIed
a little , too , Mamma said it was right for
me to cry this time , because my little
brother was dead , so I cried harder and
harder ; why"-with great earnestness-"I
just cried to boat the band ! "
