JFA1TIIFUL imTO DEATH.
Paris was blockaded famished at
the point of death. Even the spar
rows on the housetops were few and
far between , and the very sewers were
in danger of becoming depopulated.
People ate anything they could get.
M. Morisot , watchmaker by trade ,
was walking early one bright January
morning down the boulevards , his
hands in the pockets of his overcoat ,
feeling hungry and depressed ,
when he unexpectedly ran against a
friend. He recognized M. Sauvage ,
an old-time chum of the riverside.
Every Sunday before the war Mor
isot used to start at daybreak with
his bamboo fishing rod in his hand ,
his tin bait and tackle-box upon his
back. He used to take the train to
Colombes and walk from there to the
island of Maranthe. No sooner had
he arrived ot the river than he used
to begin to fish and continue fishing
until evening. Here every Sunday he
used to meet M. Sauvage , a linen-
draper from Paris , but stout and
jovial withal , as keen a fisherman
moreover as he was himself.
Often they would sit side by side ,
their feet dangling over the water for
half a day at a time , and say scarce
ly a word , yet little by little they be
came friends. Sometimes they never
spoke at all. Occasionally they
launched out into conversation , but
they understood each other perfectly
without its aid , for their tastes and
ideas Avere the same.
On a spring morning in the bright
sunshine , Avhen the light and delicate
mist hovered over the river , and
these tAvo mad fishermen enjoyed a
| ' foretaste of real summer weather ,
Morisot would say to his neighbor :
"Hein ! not bad , eh ? "
And Sauvage would reply : "I knoAV
nothing to beat it. "
This interchange of sentiments was
quite enough to engender mutual
understanding and esteem.
In atumn , toward evening when the
setting sun reddened the sky and cast
shadoAvs of the fleeting clouds over
the water ; when the river Avas decked
in purple ; AA'hen the whole horizon Avas
lighted up and the figures of the tAvo
friends Avere illuminated as witli lire ;
when the russet brown of the trees
was lightly tinted with gold , and the
trees themselves shivered Avith a wintry
shake , M. Sauvage would smile at M.
Morisot and say :
"What a sight , eh ? "
And M. Morisot , without eA'en rais
ing his eyes from his float , Avould an-
- "Better than the boule\-ards
SA\-er : \ ,
hein ! "
,
This morning , as soon as they had
recognized each other , they shook
hands warmly , quite overcome at
meeting again under such different cir
cumstances.
M. Sauvage sighed and murmured :
"A nice state of things. "
M. Morisot , gloomy and sad , an
swered : "And Avhat weather ! Today
is NCAV Year's day. " The sky , in fact ,
was clear , bright , and beautiful.
They began to Avalk along , sorroAA'-
ful and pensive. Said Morisot : "And
our fishing , eh ? What times AVC used
to have ! "
Sauvage replied : "When shall we
have them again ? "
They Avtnt into a little cafe and had
a glass of absinthe , and then started
again on their Avalk.
They stopped at another cafe for
another gla s. When they came out
again they Avere slightly dazed , like
people Avho had fasted long and then
partaken too freely.
It was lovely Aveather ; a soft breeze
fanned their faces. M. Sauvage , upon
whom the fresh air Avas beginning to
take effect , suddenly said :
"Suppose AA-e Avere to go ! "
"Go Avhere ? ' '
"Why , fishing ! "
"But where ? "
"To our island , of course. The
French outposts are at Colombes. I
know Col. Dumoulin ; he Avill let us
pass through easily enough. "
Morisot trembled with delight at
the very idea. "All right , I'm your
man. "
They separated to fetch their rod.
An hour afterward they were walk
ing fast along the highroad toward
the toAvn commanded by Col. Dumou
lin. He smiled at their request , but
granted it , and they went on their
way rejoicing in the possession of the
password.
Soon they had crossed the lines ,
passed through deserted Colombes ,
and found themselves in the vineyard
leading doAvn to the river. It Avas
about ! ! o'clock
On the other side the village ot Agen-
teuil seemed as if it were dead. The
hills of Orgremont and Saumons com
manded the whole country round.
The great plain stretching put as far
as Nunterne Avas empty as air. Noth
ing' in sight' but cherry trees and
stretches of gray coil.
M. Sauyoge pointed with his finder
to the heights above and said : "The
Prussians are up there , " and a vague
sense of uneasiness siezed upon the
two friends.
The Prussians ! They had never
set eyes upon them , but for months
past they had felt their presence near ,
encircling their beloved Paris , ruining
their beloved France , pillaging , nias-
sacring.insatiable , invincible , invisible ,
all-powerful , and as they thought on
them a sort of superstitious terror
seemed to mingle with the hate they
bore their unknown conquerors.
Morisot murmured : "Suppose we
were to meet them * " and Sauvage
replied , with the instinctive gallantry
of the Parisian : " \VelI , we would offer
them some of our fish for supper. "
All the same they hesitated before
venturing into the country , intimidat
ed as they were by the all-pervading
silence.
Eventually M. Sauvage plucked up
courage : "Come along ; let's make a
start. But we must be cautious. "
They went through the vineyard ,
bent double , crawling along from bush
to bush , ears and eyes upon the alert.
Only one strip of ground lay be
tween them and the river. They began
to run , and when they reached the
bank they crouched down among the
dry weeds for shelter.
Morisot laid his ear to the ground
to listen lor the sound of footsteps ,
but he could hear nothing. They were
alone ; gradually they felt reassured
and began to fish.
The deserted island of Maranthehid
them from the opposite shore. The
little restaurant was closed , and
looked as if it had been neglected for
years.
M. Sauvage caught , the first gud
geon , M. Morisot the second. And
every minute they pulled up their
lines with a little silver object dangl
ing and struggling on the hook. Truly ,
a miraculous draught of fishes. As
the fislj weje ciuigjitf they put them in
a net which floated in the water at
their feet. They positively reveled in
enjoyment of a long-for-bidden sport.
The sun shone warm upon their backs.
They heard nothing they thought of
nothing the rest of the world was as
nothing to them. They simply fished.
Suddenly a smothered soundas it
were underground , made the earth
tremble. The guns had commenced
firing. Morisot turned his head and
saw above the bank ; far away to the
left the vast shadow of Mont Valer-
ien , and over it the white wre.-ith of
smoke from the gun which had just
been fired. Then a jet of flame burst
forth from the fortro.ss in an
swer , a moment later followed by
another explosion. Then others , till
every second , as it seemed , the moun
tain breathed out death and the
white smoke formed a funeral pall
above it.
M. Sauvage shrugged his shoulders.
"They are beginning again , " he said.
M. Morisot , anxiously watching his
float bob up and down , was suddenly
seized with rage against the belliger
ents and growled out : "How idiotic
to kill one another like that. "
M. Sauvage It's worse than the
brute beasts.
J.M. iuurisot , AVUO imu jusc IIOUKUU : i
bleak , said "And to think that it
will always be thus , so long as there
are such things as governments. "
M. Sauvage stopped him : "The Re
public Avoulcl not have declared AA-ar. "
M. Morisot , in his turn : "With
kings Aye have foreign Avars , with the
republic we have civil Avars. "
Then in a friendly Avay they began
to discuss politics AA-ith the calm , com
mon sense of reasonable and peace-
loving men , agreeing on the one point
that no one would ever be free. And
Mont Valerien thundered unceasingly ,
demolishing AA'ith its cannon-balls
French houses , crushing out French
lives , ruining many a dream , many a
joy , many a hope deferred , wrecking
much happiness , and bringing to the
hearts of Avomen , girls , and mothers
in France and elseAA'here sorroAV and
suffering Avhich would never have an
end.
end."It's
"It's life , " said M. Morisot.
"Say rather that it's death , " said M.
Sauvage.
They started , scared out of their
liA-es , as they felt that some one was
Avalking close behind them. Turning
around they saAV four men four tall ,
bearded men dressed as servants in
livery and Avearing flat caps upon
their heads. These men were covering
the tAvo fishermen Avith rifies.
The rods dropped from their fright
ened hands and floated aimlessly
down the river. In an instant the
Frenchmen were seized , bound , throAvn
into a boat , and ferried over to the
island.
Behind the house they had thought
uninhabited Avas a picket of Prussian
soldiers. A hairy giant , Avho was sit-
astride a chair and smoking a. porce
lain pipe asked them in excellent
French if they had had good sport.
A soldier placed at the feet of the
officer the net full of fish , Avhich he had
brought aAA'ay Avith him.
"Not bad , I see but AVC have other
fish to fry. Listen , and don't alarm
yourselves. You are a couple of
French spies sent out to watch my
movements , disguised as fishermen.
I take you prisoners and order you
to be shot. You have fallen into my
hands so much the Averse for you.
It is the fortune of AA-ar. Inasmuch ,
liOAvever , as you came through the
lines you are certainly in possession
of the password. Otherwise you
could not get back again. Give me
the Avord and I Avill letfyou go. "
The tAvo friends , livid Avith fear ,
stood side by side , their hands nerv
ously tAvitching , but they ansAvered not
a Avord.
The ofiicercontinued : "Nooneneed
ever know it. You Avill go home
quietly and your secret Avill go Avith
you. If you refuse it is death for you
both and that instantly. Take your
choice. "
They neither spoke nor moved.
The'Prussian calmly pointed to the
river and said : -'Kelfect , in five min
utes you Avill be at the bottom of that
water. I suppose you have families. "
Mont Valerien thundered unceasing-
The tAvo Frenchmen stood perfectly
still and silent.
The officer gave an order in German.
Then he moved his chair farther away
from the prisoners and a dozen sol
diers drew up in line twenty paces off.
"I will give you one minute , " he
said , "not one second more. "
He got up leisurely and approached
the two Frenchmen. He took Morisot
by the arm and said in an undertone :
"Quick ! Give me the word. Your
friend will know nothing. I will ap
pear to give way. "
M. Morisofc did not answer.
The Prussian took M. Sauvage aside
and said the same thing to him.
M. Sauvage did not answer.
They found themselves once more
side by side.
The officer gave another order ; the
soldiers raised their guns.
By accidelit Morisot's glance fell
upon the net full of fish on the ground
a few steps off. A ray of sunshine lit
up their glittering bodies , and a sudden
him. "Good-
den weakness came over -
by , M. Sauvage , " he whispered.
"Good-by , M. Morisot , " replied M.
Sauvage They pressed each other's
hands , trembling from head to foot.
"Fire ! " said the officer.
M. Sauvage fell dead on his face. M.
Morisot , of stronger build , staggered ,
stumbled , and then tell right across
the body of his friend , with his face
turned upward to the sky , his breast
riddled with balls.
The Prussian gave another order.
His men dispersed for a moment , re
turning with cords and stones. They
tied the stones to the feet of the dead
Frenchmen and carried them down to
the river.
Mont Valerien thundered unceas
ingly.
Two soldiers took Morisot by thd
head and feet. Two others did the
same to Sauvage. The bodies swung
to and fro , were launched into space ,
described a curve , and plunged feet
first into the water.
The water bubbled , boiled and then
calmed down , and the little wavelets ,
tinged with red , circled gently toward
the bank.
The officer , impassive as ever ,
said : "It is the fishes turn now. "
His eyes fell upon the gudgeon lying
on the grass. He picked them up and
called out : "Wilhelm. " A soldier in
a white cap appeared. He threw the
fish toward him.
"Fry these little animals for me at
once , while they are still alive and
kicking. They will be delicious. "
Then he began smoking again. Guy

Young Hopper Enjoyed the Play.
De Wolff Hopper in his younger
daj's was passionately fond of the
theatre , says the New York Sun , but
owing to the religious scruples of his
Quaker father and the Quaker cos
tume he wore , he was somewhat
handicapped in the fulfillment of
his desires.
But it appeals that the family bnt-
ler wore citizen's clothes , and also
that he was about the same build as
De Wolff. Accordingly , between them

by De Wolff donned the butler's-
clothes and the butler donned De
Wolff's. Things went swimmingly
with Young Hopper until one fatal
night one of his father's acquaintances
happened to spy him at the theater
and remarked in a casual way to the
old gentleman that he had s een his
son at the play.
The father called the unfortunate
youth into his stud- and said ; "Son ,
hast thee been to the playhouse ? "
"Yea , father. "
"How many times hast-thce been to
the playhouse ? "
"Seventy times father , "
"Whom. hast thee seen seventy
times ? "
"Booth , father. "
"And thou has been seventy times
to see this man Booth ? "
"Yea , father. "
"Than if thou hast been seventy
times to see one man there must be
something in him. I think , son , I will
go myself. "
He Fed Them.
A Cleveland correspondent sends to
The Companion a , story of a boy in
that city who is commendably kindhearted -
hearted and ingenious.
He had some chickens of which he
had made pets. He and his father
went to their work early in the morning
"
ing , and Avhile the rest "of the family
were away for the summer , it became
a question how the chickens were to
be Jed with proper regularity.
The boy was equafto the occasion.
He took an alarm-clock , and fastened
it securely to one side of the barn by
means of two spikes. Next he hung a
bucket of com to a rafter , and con
nected it with the clock by a stout
cord :
He woundup the alarm and set it at
four o'clock. At that hour the alarm
went oil' , wound up the string , and
tipped over the bucket. And so the
chickens were fed bv clock-work.

IKON HORSE DISTEMPER.
AN ENGINEER ON THE WHIMS
OF LOCOMOTIVES.
If an Kiifflne Gets a Bad Name It a 1'nto
Is Scaled Knglnccra nro s Uravo ,
But Superstitious Class
of Men , Generally.
"Locomotives become deranged and
maniacal , like human beings , " said an
old and highly skilled engineer , to a
New York World reporter , not long-
ago. "I assure you , " ho continued ,
' -that locomotives require regular rest ,
constant attention , even nursing when
they don't feel right. An engine will
take spells when nothing you can do
will make it act properly. Then the
Bhop is the only place for it , and there
my machine has got to go , or I quit
the service of the roud. "
They certainly do grow unmanage
able sometimes. Generally this is
from over-work. Engines are like a
thoroughbred horse in that particular
respect. They will get 'off their feed'
by which I mean that they will not
pump up right , the furnace will clog
and the efficiency of the fuel will not
be obtained. They suffer from a lack
of energy. You are liable to stall on
an up-grade. They will act badly on
the curves , manifesting a decided in
clination to mount the rails or to take
sudden starts thut endanger the coup
ling. , age ?
"
'But , recurring to the temper of lo
comotives , they are affected by the
weather , which is readily understood ,
but a dull , heavy sky or a dense at
mosphere has a like effect. This I
cannot explain in any other way what
ever. Why , Mart Smith , who was a ,
strict churchman , couldn't do anything
with one of his engines during Lent.
After Easter day the disinclination to
make time disappeared. She would
'hustle1 whenever called upoi > . Sounds
very absurd , doesn't it ? But it's true.
The grip is the only distemper to
which I can liken a locomotive such us
Mart's was. When a machine gets so ,
I tell you , she must have treatment
the be > t scientific overhauling. She
needs a masseur needs galvanism. "
"When once a locomotive lias lost
force of character or self-rer-peet , dons
she ever again regain it ? ' ' was asked.
"Generally not , " said Boweher ,
meditatively , "but I know a recent
case in which an engine recovered from
a stroke of this paralysis and became ,
as she is to-day , the best on the road.
When Xo. 71 , on the L. N" . and ( J.
road came out of the shop brand new ,
she was successively put in the hands
of half a dozen of the best engineers
on the road. After a fair trial every
man , without exception , pronounced
her an utterly worthless piece of ma
chinery. The general superintendent
heard of the engine and ordered her
condemned , but the master mechanic
blurted out to him ;
" -She doesn't like the run. It is a
blanked mean run and"she - knows it as
well as you do , '
' You see the master mechanic want
ed the locomotive to have another
chance. Well , she got it , and I tell
you it was to have been her last one.
Sherd have been sold for scrap-iron or
run off the track into a forest and con
verted into the motive power for a
saw-mill. She was sent np to Indian
apolis and put on the run to Monon.
I went to the round-house and looked
her over , for I'd heard of her and am
curious. I was asked what I thought
was the matter. I spent an hour over
her and everything appeared to be
right. I took an off day and ran down
fifty miles on her. She made great
time. To-day she is the fastest on the
road and the most reliable. She can
pull a vestibule train of five cars a
mile a minute. Xow she's the pet , the
'banner' engine of the road.
You speak of the need of rest ,
Mr. Bowcher. Must it be regular ? I
mean at regular times ? " '
"Most assuredly. " was the prompt
reply. "A locomotive must be allow
ed to recover her resilience. That's
the word , you have it spelled correctly
only one 1. Remember , a locomo
tive that , pulls out of its berth in the
round-house ( where it has been in a
state of quiet and rest ) , backs up to a
big train , and at the sound of the con
ductor's bell rushes off on a hundred-
mile run at fifty or sixty miles an hour
is under a heavy nervous strain.
Don't smile. I mean exactly what I
say. Every atom in the molecular
structure of the steel and iron compos
ing it is at the highest tension. The
engine , literally is out to do or die !
To fail in making the run on schedule
time once or twice arouses suspicion.
The moment an engine is ranked as
untrustworthy her decadence has be
gun. Unless she has a friend at court ,
as IS'o. 71 had. her doom is fixed. "
"What is her fate ? " I asked with ,
feelings of real sympathy.
"She is put at the most menial ser
vice , such us drawing construction anti
gravel trains. Sometimes she is pin ;
on a local run. stopping at every cros-
road. She is treated just as if she
were known to bo lazy and as if 'stop
ping' were her- strong point.
"This brings me to another point.
Some engineers have a way of punish
ing engines that are refractory. Yes ,
indeed. They can abuse a locomotive
worse than the most brutal drive ) ' can
maltreat his horse. How ? Twenty
ways. For instance , they can give the
engines le = s coal while exacting the
same speed , less oil on the bearings ,
by pulling the throttle wide open on
the slightest pretext. Of course , such
men are always in trouble. They
burst a cylinder-head by leaving the
water-cocks closed to spite the engine ,
or they allow the bearings to heat ,
swell and jam. The element of dan
ger is lanrely increased when such a
man is iiTthe cab. Anything is liable
to happen if ho have a cranky engine
that can get just as stubborn as her
master. I often am impressed with
ths idea that some engines are mortal
