COMEDY SCENE IN "HONEYMOQN TRAIL."
The bnttle of Gruvclotto hnd been
founht: a smoko mlBt still hung over
tho field, though in tho gathering dark
ness it wna gradually becoming im
perceptible. A man carrying a port
folio und paraphernalia necessary to
sketching left tho field and, making
bis way to a hut on a hill overlooking
tho sceno of tho engagement that haa
occurred that day botween tho French
and the Prussians, entered tho nut
and asked if ho might havo somo sup
per.
"Certainly, monsieur," said n womnn
who wna there, "but wo can glvo you
vory little. Tho soldlcra of both ar
mies havo taken nil wo havo oxcept a
few bits that wo hid in the cellar.
Come, Fnnchctte, bestir yourself and
set tho tabid"
Tho tablo wna set and tho euppor put
upon it, Tho stranger sat down, and
Fan. hot to poured into his glnss somo
of tho cheap wlno of tho country. Sho
was between Boventcen and eighteen
years old, a slmplo French maid who
had no secrets from nny ono in tho
world.
"You wear a Bad look, Fanchetto,"
said tho strnnger. "Is. it from seeing
tho slaughter today?"
"No, monsieur. I did not look that
way."
"Well, then, tell me what troubles
you."
"It is this, monsieur. Antoino Brls
Hon went out n&ong tho fighting and
received a wound, no is lying now
in tho next room."
"Ho is your brother?"
"No, monsieur."
"Well, then, ho is your lover?"
To this tho only reply wns eyes cast
upon tho lloor.
"What was ho doing out thoro
fighting?"
"No, monsieur; ho has not yet be
como a conscript. Ho will not be tho,
ngo for a month."
"Well, then, what business had h
on n battlefield?" ;
"Sketching!" I
"Sketching? That's what I was do
ing there. When I havo finished my
supper I will go in nnd seo him."
Tho stranger chnttcd on with tho girl
and easily gleaned from her that sho
and Antoino could not marry becnuso
sho had no dot After having supped
nnd smoked a pipe tho artist went into
tho room whoro Antoino was lying.
Tho boy had received a flesh wound,
but not of sufficient importanco to en
danger his life.
"So you wero making sketches of tho
fight?" Bald tho artist "That is. my
business. I have been drnwing for ono
of tho Paris illustrated papers. Lot
mo boo what you havo done."
Fanchetto took an Improvised port
folio that sho had mado for her lover
of two pieces of pasteboard laced to
gether with a Btring and brought It to
tho artist. Thero wero blood stains on
it, but ho did not mind that Ho had
scon plenty of blood that day. Ho
opened tho portfolio, took out whnt
thero wob in it five or six sketches
and began to look them over.
"Whoro did you learn to sketch?" ho
asked tho boy.
"I havo never learned, monsieur," ho
replied.
"Never utudlcd in nn art school;
nover had any instruction?"
"No, monsieur."
Tho artist went on looking at tho
sketches ouo after tho other and when
ho hnd seen them nil looked at them
again. Then ho turned his eyes to tho
boy on tho bed.
"Do you know, my boy, that my pa
per sent mo hero to mako sketches of
this battle? I havo graduated at tho
art school with honors, nnd yet you
who havo nover taken a lesson havo
dono what I cannot do."
"Whnt do you mean, monBleur?"
asked tho boy, his oyes opening very
wide, whilo Fanchetto was all atten
tion. "You aro a born bnttle painter. You
havo Put into thoHo crude sketches an
action that I havo not been nblo to
put in mine. And you havo known
whnt scenes to select. Your soldiers
move; they fight; thoy are Impelled
by tho demon of war; thoy diereally
die, whilo mlno well, mino' beside
yours aro liko toy Boldlers."
"Oh, monsieur," exclaimed Fanehette,
clasping hor linnds, "how good you
aro to say that!"
"Good to say that! I'm not talking
to plenso you. I'm telling you tho
truth. And, to prove what I say, if
Antoino when ho has recovered will
como to Paris I am suro I can Interest
art lovers in him who will seo that ho
receives Instruction." '
"Oh, monsieur," roplled ' Fanchotto.
how can ho do that? no has no man
oy. no would hnvo to walk to ParlB "
'Not nt nil. I will take these sketches
with me. They will bo used in ono of
tho Illustrated pnpers and will bo well
I ... Tho monoy re' olved for them
I will send to Antoino."
Tho Bamo night, having hired n con

for Par s. Antolno's sketches were
produced and created n sensation. The
money paid for them was Bont him.
Ho wont to rarls, whoro owing to tho
