majestic silence of
the broad solitndt-s
Jx. f
the peaceful
ocean, a aispnirmg
cry aroe, and for a
moment troubled
their slumbrous
calm:
Help!"
And the splendid
steamship Kquinot
ploughed on, all un
conscious of disas
ter, pentog without effort "a huge fur
tow through the tranquil waves, which
eiosed lo.ily behind it with a gay, silver
parkle.
The crew was asleep, and only tha
men on watch heard the. appealing trj'i
and in rchponoc hhonted the words;
"Man overlioard!"
This was all that was needed to
mws&rs everybody, and the efforts at
rescue were at once ltcgun.
'Who had the impudence to get over
board at such an unearthly hour?" c ried
one of the sailor. "By the noise one
would thiuk we were all in the wet!"
Bah!" said the boatewuiu; "H was
nly the cabin-boy!"
It was, imheil, only the cabin-boy.
And hardly was ho buck again oudeek
ad consequently out of danger, before
ft formibable oath, reinforced by tho
thunderous epithet "Fool!" rang lu his
ears, and was accompanied by tho ca
resses of a rawhide which tho poor boy
knew only too well.
"IIow did you get Into thesornpe? Al
wo8 niukiEg trouble for other folks!
Ah! yen lazy rascal! Here! tailto that,
brigand!"
"Unites!" cried the boy; "I will be
rcrcngvd!"
"Ah!you'll. complain, will you? Wait
bit!"
The poor child's voice fuilod hhn, and,
gliding among the ropes and the folded
Mils, he managed to escape the last
blows aimed at hhn. Then, half era wl
Lig and fiL"ggt!ring. he reached his ham
r.o:k. II is eye were dry, but hatred
welled in his heart.
Julien Masty, cubiu-boy of tho Equi
nox, was that night auffcriiig from a
fever caught a few days before, und ho
liad crept away to install himself,
against orders, at the bow. Little by
lilt e he had sunk away into uncon
sciousness of his surroundings, in that
tteary, .helplci-sucsa which preceded
feverish sleep. All at once he felt the
hip going from under him, and he ut
tered a piercing ery as ho fell into the
water. That cry was henrd, und,
thanks to tho speedy succor, the boy was
safe again. ' '
Julien was little liked on board, and
In tho reality the sailors, though they
would not have admitted it even to
themselves, would not have mourned
bad the boy and his desparing cry been
wept away together.
The officers of the Equinox paid littlo
attention to tho boy, and St must bo
admitted that his small gray eyes, with
their oblique glances, and the dark eye
brows always drawn down lu a frown,
and the disdainful expression of his lips,
scarcely pleaded In his favor.
. But a young ensign had taken pity
en the youth, aud julien bad felt the
heavenly balm of this sympathy.
"If l ever get a chance, .1 will do you
; good turn!" he 'often thought.
But he took every possible pains to
prevent the "young officer from even
uppusing that he had found grace with
bis stormy character and unbending
pride.
On the evening after Julien's in-
voluntary 'bath the Equinox touched at
Cadiz. Tho cu bin-boy received per

"Twouldu't have mattered if I hod

"What, words are these, Julien? Let
us see now; if you are not very happy on
board, is it not a little your own fault'.1

"It can't be that he likes me,"
thought the boy; "it ought not to be

real affection would do mo so much

while the partner conducted the btui- !

This partner had found a way to tha
good graces of Julien's father, and to
make the wife look not unkindly upon
him. This sprightly and beautiful
woman, much younger than her hus
band, had not failed to perceive the
tiperiority of the partner.
One day her husband went away con
fident and happy, on a long tour, after
bidding an affectionate od cu to his
wife and his daughter, a pretty three-1
year-old golden-locks. To his partner
he coulided the honor of his business;
tj his ife the honor of his home.

Tho husband wished to create no scan
dal, but he considered himself suffi
ciently edified as to who was tho culprit,
and he snmmond his partner to liquidate I
their business at onee, nt any price.
His fortune was almost swallowed up
in certain complicated accounts which he
would not even discuss. Mis only aim
was to be rid of his partner and vx
friend, cause of his misfortune,
Julien Masly had thus found in his
family only enemies, thrusting upon
hlra from his birth the pitiless bitter
ness of a dishonored life.
By and by tho motluir, who could not
survive tho erring wife's despair, died.
The husband, whose nnme he bore, re-
married, und then every pretext was1

Aud this is how Julien Masly came to .

"Not at all, Julien; it wasn't for that.

be said, moving off, full of hate and
bitterness; "well, I think I shall have

Priuee."
Tho Prince de Kermornas, ensign on
the Equinox, with whom Julien had just
been speaking, had. lu fact, remarked
Julien's tvage and irascible character,
and had sought to soften it, but his
generous efforts were thus far without
result. As ho was very good-hearted he
regretted his lack of success. The next
daythqy would sail direct for Cher
bourg, ensign and cabin-boy could soon
speak t gether no longer under the flag.
The ofllecr colled tho boy back.
"Listen, Julien; reflect more; you al

Yhen we reach homo I shall have leave
of absence for throe months; then I
c-hall resign and pet married. I am ad
vising you for the last time unless,
porhnps, we may meet njruiu."
'Lieutenant," said Julien suddenly,
"I hope yon will be tranquil and happy,
and that you will forget me as quickly
as yon can. I feel that I shall always
be, on'no matter what horizon, a storm
cloud which every one wants brushed
away. I simcrely desire for your sake
that you may never sec me agaiu."
They parted after these strong words.
Soon they wore at Cherbourg, where
they fan: ied they were to separate for
ever. III.
As the Prince de Kermornas had
planned, the expiration of his leave of
absence was the signal for his resigna
tion, and ho was married at on e.
lie loved his young1 wife w,th all the
nrdor of a fronk and generous nature,
and he found her sentiments like his
own.
, They were hnppy.

it is to envy those who appear to pos

In the lust year of the second empire
the black hour had sounded for France.
The ignoble trampling, the provok'ng
triumph of her enemies, echoed in the
.hearts of all her chljdrtu and all wished
think that your sacrifice is an honor to
yonr family your children!"
The l'rince was rent to rejoin his o'd
companions of the Equinox. Julien had
not expected this. Never had he made
tho least effort to discover the ex-ensign,
and he remained isolated in his
pride and hate of his fellow-men.
But nov that they were thrown to
gether again, J alien metimes forgot
his gloomy' silence and exchanged a
few words with the Prince.
One day, shortly before the armistice,
tho bulls hissed, shrieked, and menaced
around them; shells rained and burst
over their heads. They were in the
thick of one of those sorties which
Suddenly Julien threw himself upon
the I'rinec, shielding! him with his
body; then hs fell to the earth, bleed
ing from skull wounds.
Julien had seen the dirt tors up a
few yards from the Trince. A shell
bad fallen there and was about to
burst. As quickly as thought he threw
himself courageously between the shell
and the Prince. The explosion eamo;
it was formidable; but the Prince was
saved.
"Bush boy, what have you done?"
"Nothing at all, Lieutenant," faintly
answered jnlien, raising his hand to

"My poor Julien, your 'that's all' is
simply sublime!"
The youth fainted in the arms of tho
Vrlrux, who himself carried him to the
ambulance, where ho bestowed tetider-
c nI'on mm'
Tho surgeon, lifter examining the
wound, declared that it was not very
grave, the fragment of shell which had
struck Julien having skimmed aloug
the frontal bone and torn away tho
skin only. It was tho shock to the
bono which had caused tho fuintness.
In a few days ho would be un foot
again.
"How can I repay my debt of grati
tude to you, Julien?" said tho Prince
de Kennora.is some time afterward.
"You thrust yourself between death
and my poor body!"
"Doit say that, LM'utennnt," an
swered the wounded man, "for I have
only a scratch."
"But yon didn't stop to caleulrte
when you threw yourself forward like
with tho blush of defeat on my fore
head to at o mipany it. I will not havo
it!"
And he clutched at the sheots of his
bed, and bit them convulsively.
"Poor Jnlien. I beg you to be calm.
Do you sitpposo we can carry on tho war
under present conditions? Don't you
6eo how unequal is the struggle? The
French soldier has plenty of enthusiasm
and courage; but after the cowardice
nnd treason to which Franco has been
submitted, wishing to continue tho war
would be almost like wishing the ruin
of our unhappy country."
"It Is because my country is unfort
unate that I will neither betray nor
abandon it!"
And ho added with growing excite
ment: "I shall be on foot again soon. Lieu

, accept these shameful political bar
gains. The enemy is here; I mean to
drive him out. I will return to Paris;
. I will call together all the braves who
' are left! und you will see what me can
do when they are decided to risk every
thing for their country b honor.
The l'rince did not reply. Julien was
suffering from a tejriblc ncrvious
crisis.
A few days afterwards the armistice
was signed and the National Assembly
at Bordtux, accepted the treaty of peace
about which everybody knows.
The l'rince was on the point of re
turning to his family, when the assassi
nation of two Generals and tho revolt
i of two regiments announced tho inten
tion of the instigators of the Commune
He decided to remain and fight for the
government.
It was hard, after fighting so bitterly
against euomks, to make war on erring
brethren.
The Princess, hearing In her retire
ment in Itrittany the news of the second
siege of Paris, and recommending her
two sons to God and to f-'a'.nt Anne, set
out for Versailles, her heart filled with
vague alarm.
"I must find and see him," she snid
to herself. "After escaping tho hor
rors of the last war it would not bo
pcsiible to lose him now! It would be
too cruel! and yet I am afraid!"
Her fears increased as she approached
the place whore her husband must be,
and her heart and breath almost
stopped when she cahght sight of Ver
sailles tbrongh the gathering dusk.
A frightful glare lit up the sky with
broad, blood-red beams. Sho trembled
as she prized at it-
"What is that?'1 she inquired of the
first persu she met.
"Tho light of Paris, madame raris,
which has been on fire for two days."
"Horrible! How did it happen?"
Jt was explained to her that the in
surgents were conquered, but that they
were avenging themselves by burning
l"arls to cover their retreat, as they
said, but in reality to pillage more at
their ease.
ner informant added: "I hope that
no quarter will be given to thorn, for
they have Inflicted heavy losses on the
army, and especially on our brave
sailors."
"Tho Bailors'."' cried the rrincess,
turning deadly pale.
"Yes, madame. There are a great
menv gaps ia their ranks. I have just
beard one young hero, the Prine de
Kermornas. ep--ially mentioned"
"The l'rince dead? I most see him!"
she cried. "Take me to him I beg"
She could not finish and fell fainting.
When she reopened her eyes she was
in a strange room. Suddenly her
memory came back.
"He is need !" she sobbed.
No, my Suzanne."' cried feeble
voice from an alcove. "Not dead; and
you shall heal me."
She arose, half mad with joy and
pain commingled. The roiee was la
deed that of her well beloved one. He
was not among the dead. In an instant
she was at his side.
"Oh, joy! I shall never leave you
more!" And she kissed h.'m as she
wept.
Suzanne." said the Prince de Ker
mornas. "it is a great consolation to
hold yon to my heart once more. I did
not dare to hope for it!"

Vhot do you menn?"
"Alas! I foel my forces leaving me bit

that they love you all tho more for
my sake!"
He could not speak longer and was
obliged to take a cordial, ordered by
the physician who at that moment ;
eamo in.
"Come, now, no emotions," he said
roughly. "Yon nro, I suppose, madame,
the Princess of Kermornas!"
Suzanne bowed.
"Well, madame," said ho, taking off
bis hat, "we must have calm and re
pose here; you must understand that
having both legs crushed is a very seri
ous matter."
"You say that his limbs are crushed?"
"Well, that's better than if 'twas the
hoad, isn't it? In a day or two we will
talk about amputation; for the moment
the patient is too fceblo. Let's sec tho
pulse. No fever; so much the bettor;

And tho surgeon was gone.
Suzauno stood stupiiied, looking at
her husband without seeing him, be

sufferings from his wife. Neither one ; per cent aud, as a consequence, great
nor the other dared to stir for fear
of giving way to emotions which they
had been commanded to restrain.
Suddenly there was a great noise in
the street, the rattle of drums, the elat
ter of hoofs of a squadron of cavalry,
cries, insults then it all died away,
"Snzanno," said tho Prince, arousing
from his seeming torpor, "those aro

"Run to the Prefecture, fly; no matter '

"It is a"sick man's caprice," she
thought, as 6he flew to obey his orders.
Presently she came back radiant; she
had the names.
Ten of tho men had been taken, mus
ket in hartfl, and would be shot within
twenty-four hours.
"Their names! their names!" said tho
Prince, with feverish impatience und
as if impressed by a presentiment.
Suzanne rend: "The Rossel battalion,

nnd then she came to the name of
"Jnlien Masly."
"Jnlien!" cried tho Priuee. "I know
it!"
Then to his wife:
"Suxanne, put everything in move
ment to save Julieu Masly. Raise me
up and I will try to write."
"To nsk for the pardon of one of
those wretches, Ocorgo, Is an insult to

"No, .Suvanne, .no. He tried to give
his life for me and I must pay my debt
of gratitude!"'
"He? Saved you? An incendiary?
Impossible!"
"I leg you, help; I will explain; but
I must write."
Aud the Priiico traced with unsteady
hand these touching lines, addressed to
Mart-hal de MacMahon:
"I hasten to l eg yyn to sweeten the
bitterness of my last moments by
granting mo the purdon of Jnlien j
Masly. I was long in the same ship

of his despair at being conquered, Y'on

He handed this letter to his wife and
fell back on his pillow, never to rise
from it again.
His liinVw were crushed, and, because 1
of recent privations, gangrene promptly
declared itself, leaving no hope, and
preventing the attempt at an amputa
tion, which would have bicu useless.
The Prince's letter was carried to the
Marshal, while Snzanno watched by
her husband's conch, weeping nnd pray
ing, and convinced that h? must die.
lie bore up bravely and told his wife
in broken accents the story of the gen

Equinox.

He did not insist. !lulir?athing was

RUSSIA'S FAMINE.
A Fenslbla and Ro na-s-Lika
View of
tha Sim tlon.
There is much foolish sentiment go
ing the rounds about America s gift to
Russia. Fortunately tho time has
passed when the people with one ac
cord are willing to bo gulled by such
schomos. There are not as many
sleek, well-fod and prosperous people
in America as there used to be who
are anxiously looking for a chance to
give a portion of thoir abandunce to
some object of charity. The ranks of
of the happy and prosperous aro be
ing decimated by a conflict between
the upper millstono of millionaires
and the nether millstono of paupers.
Neither is happy, and both refuse to
respond to calls for charity, the one
because they cannot and tho other bo
cause they will not Both upposl to
the; government, one for support and
tho othor for protection. When, oh
when, will tho world learn that char
ity is not benevolonce; that while
charity may temporarily relieve the
pain and leave the disease to make
greater inroads upon the constitution
of the body, true benevolence would
remove tho cause of tho diseaso and
thereby enable the body to abolish
pain.
There are several views of this
Russian question, says the National
KcodTiinist A portion of tho United
States this your had a fine wheat crop;
scarcity abroad prevented the usuul
dopresslon in tho price of wheat and a
good price was secured. The cotton
raising portion of the United States
secured a fair crop of cotton, but the
destitution and distress prevail
throughout the entire Southern states
aud thousands of families will not
taste wheat bread in six. months.
There is yet another portion
of tho United Statos in which re
side the millionaires and representa
tives of conoentrated wealth that snows
the largest gains in wealth regardless
of year or season. When this
appeal from Russia comes, the
South cannot help because she

and tho East- the sec
tion most able of all to donato in
stead of donating transportation, puts
every one of her congressmen at work
to secure a donation from the govern
ment to pay them for the transporta
tion. They would tax the starving
south to got monoy for them to steal
on transportation contracts. It is a
blot and a shame, a disgrace to every
state that elected a congressman who
voted for the appropriation.
In the spring of 1891, when the
gold exports were so great that the
country became alarmed, the situation
was explained with groat unanimity
by tho press, all agreeing that the
cause was Russia compelling England
to pay hor great dobt in gold, and it
was suid that Russia would pay part
of it to France, and that altogether
the foreign scarcity of wheat was sure
to mnko the cold come back In the
fall No ono has ever shown that if
Russia has starving people tho Russian
government is not able to raise the
money to buy food and feed them.
The Russian government is prover
bially stingy, but it should feed its
own starving poor. It pays them hot
ter, however, to beg. and American
poverty is so proud that it will gladly
donate tho last copper to the foreign
mendicant millionaire in response to
an appeal for charity, which Ameri
cans would rather die than make.
Tho sensible donation for America to
make to Russia is to ad vise hor if she
wants American wheat to buy it, and
if her people have no money, that tho
government of tho United States will
take tho bonds of the Russian govern
ment; and at small advance lo price
and a fair rate of interest, furnish it
all the wheat it wants. This would
be treating Russia right and would
enable American farmers to holp one
! another, not by charity, but by bust
ness exchanges.
