Tboreau. iSiriiSn v One dreary afternoon In January, during the siege of Paris, M. Reboullet left bis office in a state of great men tal perturbation. He went directly home and, bursting In upon his wife, exclaimed tragically: "Virginia, we must kill AJolphe!" Mmo. Reboullet fat beside a table tewing. At her husband's emphatic words she rose, trembled, grew pale, then dropped back into her chair in an tttitudo of abject holplMsness. "Yes, we must kill Adolphe! It is hard, hut there is nothing else to bo done. We really ought to have ex pected It. What did you say?" Mmo. Reboullet had said nothing. Khe sat quite still in limp helplessness and great tears went chasing each other down her pallid checks. "You are crying! Well, that's quite natural, and if I weren't a man but what good would It do? One should be reasonable!" "But couldn't we wait a little while longer?" sobbed the lady. "You know, Virginia, that there Is one thing I have always "been very careful about; that is my reputation. Well, that Is now at stake, and all be causo of Adolplie. You have persist ed in taking him out for exercise daily on the avenue. He is Insolently fat, and poople.thlnk it strange that at uch a time as this, when many poor creatures haven't even a piece of horse meat to eat, that we should keep a useless mouth to feed. Talk of It has even reached the office. For some tlmo past I have noticed a coolness among my companions. I couldn't un derstand It, but today Serfet. Bose said to me, at the distribution of provisions, Adolpe Is still thriving, I presume!' Then I understood that the sacrifice iwas necessary, and it must he made." After a silence, Mme. Reboullet stammered: "But I shall never hav9 the courage." "Nor I," replied her husband. "We hall have to leave It to Rose." Rohb, who was the domestic, and who hated Adolphe as much as her masters laved him, agreed to perform the agreeable task. It may be said right here that Adolphe was a dog, and an extremely 111 favored one at that, A curious mixture of pug and hound, with long ears, a stubby tall and slender less, he certainly would have been no loss to the world from an aesthetic point of view. M. and Mme. Reboullet went out to walk the next morning at 10 o'clock, leaving Adolphe to the tender mercies of Rose. They were disconsolate, but, purred on by the cold, they were soon walking at a brisk pace up and dawn the avenue. Both were silent. After a time, Mme. Reboullet gasped out "It must be over ty this time!" Reboullet looked at his watch. It was only ten minutes past 11, so the couple resumed their mute promenade. In a few moments Mme, Reboullet ex claimed again with a start: "We for got to tell Rose what to do with poor Adolphe after where to bury him." "True; I never thought of It But don't worry; be shall have the sort of burial he deserves." Distracted in spite of themselves by the movement in the street and exhll tvated. by the nipping air, they began "jo think lest exclusively of their dog, and when at noon they found them' elves in front of their home, Reboul let exclaimed: "How hungry I am!" "And I. too," sighed Mme. Reboullet, Immediately after they gave each other a look that promptly brought them back to a due sense of propriety. The pair wore soon seated at the table la the little oak dining room. On nterlag this room, so full of haunting memories of Adclphe, and on sitting 1 down at the tnble around which he had always wandered during meals, watch (d for bones and delicate morsels. Mm. Itobmillrt had a fresh outburst of grief. So when her htuband asked what tlioy were to have for luncheon, she replied between her sobs: "1 don't know, my dear; I ordered no thing else, you remember." "Hrlng In luncheon, Rose!" called cut M. Reboullet. The maid entered noisily, her cap rtrlntrs flying. "Here it Is, and It's a good one, too!" As he spnko she set down a large dish, filled to the brim with yellowish gravy. In which a number of small objects were floating about. The same thought Instantly struck both M. Reboullet and bis wife. "What Is that?" they asked In concert. "Why, the dog stewed In white wine. I thought first I would serve Mm roasted, hut as mnrinme said no. thing about it" Reboullet half rose from his chair, exclaiming: "Have you dared" ' What! Wasn't It to have him to eat that . If I had known, I could have sold him for twenty francs, he was so fat!" "Leave the room," sobbed Mme. Ro boullet. Rose shrugged her shoulders and went out, slamming the door after her, saying: "Such a fuss for a dog!" M. and Mme. Reboullet Bat for a tlmo without speaking a word. In the funereal silence savory odors arose from the streaming dish between them. The miserable girl was right. It miift. he excellent; but, oh, no, never! But what was to be done with It? (live it to Rose, who would eat it her self, or worse still, sell it to some un scrupulous restaurant keeper? Throw it out Into the street? What a humili ating end! Bury it? Who ever heard cf burying a stew? The appetizing odor continued to greet their nostrils, and finally Reboul let said: "Perhaps Rose Is right, at fer all! A dog is only a dog. Be rides, this iB no ordinary time. Paris Is not besieged every day. Dog, Indeed! Why, every one is glad now adays to cat cats, rats, hippopotamus meat, or any other kind, for that mat ter. Ot course, I would nover have desired to see Adolphe on our table In this state. But the mischief Is done and now, sapristl, if we don't eat him, what shall we do with him?" The clouds had scattered and the sunshine streamed into the little din ing room. A calm seemed to pervads the air. Rose had been thoughtful enough to put on the table a bottle of their very best wine, and full Jns- tico was done to it. Halt an hour later, as Mine. Reboullet i-nt contem plating the little bones ranped on the sir'e of her plate, ulio sighed, and said plairtlvely: "Poor Adolphe! Ho loved bones so well!" San Finnnclsco Argonaut. Spectacles In ftermnnr. The German Emperor has entered npon a new phase of his development, If we are to believe the statement that he was lately seen reading the news papers In a railway train with the help of a pince-nez. Nor Is this to be won dered at when we remember the la ment once made by the kaiser himself, who, speaking of his school days at Cassel, remarked that out of a class of twenty, "no fewer than eighteen of his fellow-pupils wore spectacles, while two of these,, with their glasses on, could not even see the length of the table." As compared with other nations, the Germans may be described is a spectacle-wearing people, an-1 there can be no doubt that the mam cause of their defective sight is the peculiar character of their type, which is most trying to the eyes. The pres ent emperor, no less than Bismarck, has always protested, on patriotic grounds, against the substitution of tne Roman for the Teutonic, or black- letter, character In print, and both havo had to suffer equally for their Chauvinism.

AUTOMOBILES IN BATTLE MILITARY CHARIOTS -AS DEVISED BY MODERN MAN. flermnny'a Interesting Rxperlthent with Mntnr-matltnlt An Invincible Ma. ehlne Manned by fltmner lletiliiit Steel I'lules-tnture of Military Automobile. The automobile seems so eminently fitted for pleasure purposes that It Is somewhat of a distortion of Its origin al object In life to convert It Into nn engine of warfare; yet so progressive are modern military experts In adopt ing every Imaginable Invention for their particular line ot work that tho automobile appears destined to create as much of a revolution In transporta tion In times of war as In times of pence. The development of the war automobile has been fully as rapid in the last few yenrs as those designed for ordinary riding. Germany In par ticular has striven to construct practi cal war machines out of automobiles, nnd somo quite remarkable tests and experiments have been made by the military authorities of that country. There are two distinct purposes kept In view in developing war auto mobiles. One Is for the simple pur pose of transporting troops rapidly ever a country that has not been pro vided with railroads. In Austrl Hun gary the Minister ot War has lately had a number of automobiles con otrneted for this purpose. These war mar hines practically represent an en tirely new type of transport. They aro the heaviest motor vehicles yet constructed, nnd are Intended to carry troops over rough country at an aver age speed of 12 to 15 miles an hour. Rach vehlclo has a capacity of five tons, and this will be sufficient to carry 40 soldiers, with their necessary provisions and equipments. A score of such machines would be able to carry a respectable sized army across countt y In a short tlmo. The success of the experiments seemed to Justify the Austrian army lu carrying on fur ther work In this line. Tho second lino of development of the military automobile Is for the pur pose of carrying small Meld or Maxim rapid firing guns, the gunners aud operators being protected from the enemy by shields of nickel plate. With the shield In front of them they can run down an army, and almost annihi late a body of Infantry without ex posing themselves to any great dan ger. In the German army a number of these motor-maxlmltes have been constructed and tested so satisfact orily that moro of them have recently been built. When these are complot ed the German army will have more than p. d07on mechanical gun movers in tho field equipped with Maxims, and tho small automobile cavalry thus oi pnniv.ed will bo quite able to attack almost anything In the way of light soldiery. Germany lenned much from Eng land's experiments with the armored cars In South Africa last, year, and military experts were lent there to investigate the practical Held testa of iheae new war horses. Tito armored cars which tho EnglltOi operated were all right except that they bad one very weak point. They wete easily de railed and their progress or return over railroad lines easily obstructed. They were thus rendered almost help less by a band of quick horsemen, who could double on their tracks and tear up the rails In the rear. This necessi tated repairs by the soldiers under the exposure of sharpshooters on distant hills. The effect of the armored rail road car was thus totally neutralized by blniply military tactics. ' But It Is reasoned that the military automobile, carrying its Maxim guns and lc soldiers, could not thus be crippled. There would be no track to tear up, and the nutomobiles could return across country where no enemy could possibly obstruct their ways. There would, of course, bo certain parts of the wild country, where the operators might be entrapped so that It would be impossible to escape with- cut running back over a narrow road. But that would be the fault of the operators rather than of the machines. Tho modern military automobile la In tended for tho open country, nnd not for narrow, mountainous defiles, where a mobile, wandering band of horse men could entrap them. Finally, there is another field In mili tary tactics for which the automobile Is eminently so far perfected bettor than any other nation. As armed icouts tho modern high racing mili tary automobile Is of the greatest pos sible promise. The machines built for experimenting In the French army are of the heavy, fast type, with speed and durability emphasized above everything else. They are capable of rushiug across, country so swiftly that they would quickly outrun anything which might be sent In pursuit. At the same tlmo, the operators being protected by steel shields from any or dinary rifle bullets, they could ap proach . the lines of the enemy far better than any other seouta could. Tbelr only possible enemies would be other armed automobiles or artillery concealed In some unexpected place. No infantry or cavalry could hurt or overtake them. Messages could be carrlod In this way with Impunity, actually darning 'through the sentry !ltB of the enemy, and riding close up to tho Insidn posts of a camped army. The racoB which would follow would he exciting In tho extreme and full ot Interest to the daring. The automobile scouts of the futtr.'e will also bo provided with military balloon equipments for quick and ac curate observation In the field. The automobile carries the balloon, coil or leading rope, and the necessary Im plements for Inflating the balloon. The automobile can In this way run quickly across the country to some. favorahlo point of observation, and then the operators ran Inflate the bal loon and make an ascension. The whole equipment Is compact ond com plete. A telephone connects the bal loon with the automobile, and the op erator of the latter proceeds In any di rection Indicated by Cue aeronaut. In this way the automobile carries the balloon nenrer or farther away from the line of tho enemy. The observa tions from tho care of the balloon can be taken front a dozen different points of view. In the event of nn unexpect ed attack from cavalry the automobile would be ready for resisting It. The cable ot tho balloon could be quickly approached within shooting distance the automobile would be ready for a savago attack. With the steel shields raised In sloping positions tho bullets of the enemy would have little chance to touch the operators, while the sharpshooters from behind the shields could pick off the horsemen with ease. Mnanwhllo the power of tho auto mobile could be shown In another way. With a speed that no horse could hope to equal tho machine could charge down upon the cavalry and disperse It. No horsemen would be foolhardy enough to wait for such an attack. There would be a complete and de moralizing retreat. The automobile could fight a retreating battle equally as well us a front one. While running rapidly from the enemy It could train its guns on them and fire with pretty fair precision. On the whole the auto mobile party would bo far safer than cavalry or Infantry, and so long as the machine kept to the open count rr nnd steered clear of batteries It woulil have a fair fighting cbunce to escape from almost any trap laid for It. This Is so generally appreciated by the mili tary authorities of Europe that extra heavy types of these modern Jugger naut ar machines are r.ow in tho course oi preparation. Military aiitomobllism furnlhhcs variety of sport which, in times of peace, has its excitement and risk not generally obtained by those who operate their machines merely In the Interest of personal recreation. In Eu rope the miliary chaueurs are prac tically exempt from local restrictions concerning speed, and their endurance and speed tests are conducted In a manner to excite the interest of any one familiar with automobile matters Tho military automobiles have the light of way In Germnny and Austria- Hungary at certain times of the year, and In specified parts of the country, nnd they are rushed across the country at their highest possible speed. The automcbiln courier Is first entitled to all the privileges of tho highway. anit the high speed machine must make a record or lose the honors held out for tho quicker! In the races. There aittomobllo couriers Instead of following some fine, well-graded pub lic highway, are supposed to cross the country nnd go through narrow nnd rctiRh by-pnlhs which would test tho skill of tho best chauffeur. The result of such ispncd trials is not to lower any raco record such as we nro accus tomed to hear about In ordinary races on good roads, but the experiments show the value and durability of tho machines, and testiry to the skill of tho rough riders. For, In truth, tho military automobile courier is a rough rider of the most modern type, nnd he performs tricks and evolutions in tho fleldp that might well eclipse the work of the beta cowboy on his broncho, The military evolutions of tho auto mobiles carrying Maxim guns are no loan Interesting, but of a somewhat different appearunce. They Delect likewise the open country, nnd the ma chines are driven at great speed across the country where, fow, if any, decent roads connect distant points. Tho machines must be heavy and durable enough to malto these roiu;li trips in oil klnd3 of weather, and tho operatora nro not Vy any means sparing on tho machinery or their own nerves. It Is '.He nearest approuch to rough riding 1,1 n mod urn battlo that could very well bo Iniitntod. Georgo E. Walsh in the Automobile Maga-tlne. A I'enr Fuels About w York.
