(< 'opyrltfht, 1004, by l>»ily Story V«jb.C«.)
A LOUS Ql'Ol, qu'est-ce qui vous
voulez? Victorine hat] been away
t<> school, now she was coming home.
Mynsieur, lier father, had hitched the
Jat horse to the high wagon and gone
to the ferry to meet her; matiatn, her
mother, hail bakea-thecake; petit oeur
I ad swept the yard; petit frere iiaci
caught a gopher for the gumbo. .Mors!
and jet ore other hail done his part
toward the welcoming. Mieheli, lie had
bought the red ribbon—yards of it—so
bright, so rich, so sbiney. Le ruban
rougi! lie spread it upon the bed that
it might hi ever before his eyes while
he dressed brilliant as a badge of cour
age: "Ders t'ree yard, yas SheV two
inch wit!"." Michell's Angers trembled
as he knotted Lis lie -blue and green
with big yellow spots. Si Julie, but he
l.ad foreborne to wear it until she came
home.
So it was with the new fit raw hat and
the tan shoes- even the natiy linen suit
and russet leather belt hail been saved
against, her return. Ills mother and
sister looked on' in admiration as he
sfttod tightening His saddle girths. A
red handkerchief peeped from one
pocket, a white one from another. None
of them knew what it was that tnaue
his breast pocket bulge so.
"He looks nice,'' said the mother,
softly.
"Yas," replied the oldest sister. "I
set das shirt just stiff enough. La
maiiresse d'ecole say one spoonful to
one cup. I write das down, me." Site
.spoke with pardonable pride. They
waved their hands to Mieheli—"Bon
jour, bon jour." He drew up the reins;
one brand new tan described an arc
over the mare's back, he sat erect and
waved his hat "Bon jour ma mere; bon
jour, lues soeurs." The little bay sprang
nt once into the gait at which he always
rode her. A steady lope, easy and swift,
up hill and down, over ilry roads and
wet, and as she loped her master's heart
loped with her.
Looking after him, such a picture of
«-ager young manhood he made—
madam's heart misgave her. "I wish
to I-now." she said haif to herself, "I
w!s ii to know, me eel' Victorine is change
mneh."
Michell's heart was troubled with no
misgiving. Le ruban rouge lay warm
to it.and glad anticipation thrilled him
through and through. What an after
noon It was and how the birds sang in
the bushes —'"Torine, 'Torine." He
bared bio head to an old charcoal burner,
srime to the roots of bis white hair and
through It; he shouted a hearty greeting
to a crowd of young fellows going to a
chopping—their horses trotting four
abreast, the axes across their shoulders
flittering In Ihe sun; they gave back
Ihe greeting heartily. They were think
ing of annisett, and dancing, and coffee,
and girls, he—why what could he think
of with a heart beating inside of him
like that He heard the creak of his
saddle, the jingle of the bits and t1.3
muffled toe, toe of the little mare's hoofs
on the road Ami al! he heard ran.in to
i refrain of one dear name.
Ah, there she was on the gallerie—all
In white and a rose—a white rose—ln
her hair, "lies dit'fent," ho muttered,
"M <- use U. like the red rose best." His
hand shook so he could scarce, fasten
the little mare's bridle to the picket, halt
way up the walk he raised bis hat. but he
strode up the steps slowly. Madam
trose, Victorine arose, Michel 1 bowed
over madam's hand. "I hope, rue das I
see you well, madam," he said courteous
ly, though Ms voice trembled. Yes.
madam was very well. She thanked
hint. And how was madam, bis mother?
i!e thanked her. Madam, his mother,
was in good health—le bon saute. And
at last he might lurn to Victorine, who
stood demurely waiting. The same for
mal greeting and the state or bis sisters'
icalflt only thir time the hand-clasp
was a bit tighter. He could not help
that. It was so good to fee! those sup
ple fingers within his palm once morn.
Victorine was very well. "And you,"
*he asked, deliriously. Madam covvred
his stuminered reply with a shrill order
to ptlit frere. Bidding him hurry from
fh" kitchen with a chair for Mieheli:
"Porti la chaise, cher. Porte la chaise."
The chair came. They all took seats.
TVtM frere off red Ills I,ami . hyly to
Mieheli. Vletorltif* spoke kindly:
"Francois cattgiii a big g*.p)nr ves
tcrds 1 Bid you i r:- fT'
"No; I didn't hear 'Sunt das."

"Downjk'obdah," replii <J the lad, pride
<>f his catch lost !n adtnfraJion i t.bs

"Bon jour, Mieheli. Chrome ca va?"
J.i. ;v i. monsieur. He rune the .young
man's hand and to Francola, "Porte la !
chaise, cher. Porte la chaise. Keep yo
seat, keep yo seat! Well, I see your
pa yesterday. He teel me he goin' tur- j
pentine his land. Yas?"
"Yas, das what he say."
"Well, I don' know "bout das, me."
They talked turpentine, pro and con.
Madam bustled to the kitchen and re
turned presently with the coffee-pot,
followed by petit soeur with cups an.i
sugar. Each and all drank coffee.
Madam arose, she looked hard at mon
sieur. But monsieur talked on—a neigh
bor's disaster being too tempting to fore
go: "An. I hear, me, he's goin' burn
coal now das storm blow down inos' his
trees."
"Yas, I meet a lot of young fellow go
in' to his chopping little while ago."
"Why didn' you go?" Murmured Vic
torine, asserting her rights. Mlchell
turned, "I was coming here," he said,
simply. And at last monsieur saw
madam's signal.
"Excuse moi," he said, hastily, "I go
feed my horse." It was indeed high feed
ing time for the dusk was deepening.
Mieheli looked after him gratefully.
"Votre pere looks well, lieein," he said
to Victorine.
"Yas."
"You glad to gjt home?"
"Yas, I'm right glad, me."
With a rush of glad courage he slipped
from his chair to the one left vacant by
little sister, "I'm glad me. Sim like
you been gone long time, long time, yas.
Sim more like six years den six mont." ■
'Torine laughed gaily. Was M. Mich- j
ell forgetting how to count? It was
four mont' she had been gone. But
Michell's unsteady lingers were laying
a pareal in her lap. his unsteady voice
was beseeching—"You tink mebbe you
wear dis sometime?"
'Torine undid the wrappings deftly— j
oh, there was plenty of light to see how
red it was and that it was cotton satin.
She paused. Mieheli expecting a little
cry of delight did not understand. How
was lie to know that within four short
months culture had set its claw in the
girl's heart, harpy-like, defiling for her
all the bright, cheap pleasures of life?
"You don' like heem?" lie faltered. |
"You won't wear heem?"
"I can' wear red. me—"
"Den geeve him hefe. I go burn litem
op—"
"No. no; you shan'. Das mine, you j
geeve heem me." And she thrust the
unlucky ruban rouge deep into her skirt
pocket. Mieheli was molified. "I bring
you some blue next time."
Consternation seized Victorine. Only
too clearly she foresaw what he would ;
bring. Three inches wide and half cot
ton.
"Mon ami." she said, softly, "I tell you
what piece of blue ribbon I want you to
get for me."
"An' das?" he asked, eagerly.
"You know la maitresse de'ecole go
ing give a piece of blue ribbon to who- 1
ever stand up last next Friday."
"I'll get heem for you," Mieheli prom
ised rashly, eagerly. li was a contest in
arithmetic—whoever stood up through
the first 12 tables in multiplication.
Micliell had intended to absent himself,
being a bit shaky on the nine table; but i
now he promised himself to study that j
table every night. That 'Torine was only
seizing upon a chance to substitute the j
teacher's taste for his. did not occur to
him. He thought that she wanted him
to win an honor for her 3«ui the thought
rimi his blood—and his energy for study, i
Friday evening, and a little log school
house packed to bursting. Two boys :
and a girl facing each other in the midst !
of the crowd. All that the eight table
had left standing.
' Nine times one?" began the teacher,
hoarse but patient. Mieheli sang out
the answer. "If I get through this table,
me. I'm all right." He reflected and
seemed to see the blue ribbon fluttering 1
at 'Torine's throat. "Nine times seven?"
The girl on his side sank her head, j
turned and sal down. "Sixty-three," j
said Mieheli, but his voice trembled, his |
hands grew suddenly cold, his head hot. j
Stage fright seized him. Asked Just then :
he could not have told his name and in
the midst of his terror came the teach- ;
er's voice. "Nine times nine?" His mind j
a blank he yet heard the .whisper behind
him "Eighty-one.' The teacher 1
coughed to give him time, the whisper j
came again insistently. The sweat
sprang out on his forehead and wrists, j
In its agony the temptation lasted a life- j
time. Then he clenched his hands, shook j
his head and blundered out of ranks. ;
Blind with mortification he sank upon
the bench reserved for defeated candi- ;
dates. He had but one thing left to pray j
for and he prayed for that as he had j
never prayed before. That the other
boy would miss. He prayed in vain. The ■
other boy stood up to the end —and the ■
ribbon, a long, narrow streamer of'
delicate blue. Mieheli started up and |
forced a way through the crowd. Ho
would not sit there and see the grinning 1
fool go give it to 'Torine. If he had won,
'Torine was to have ridden home with
him in his new sulky, but now—
"We goin' now?" querried a low, sweet '
voice. He stopped and started stupidly
Crossing her breast like a baldric, en- |
circling her waist and streaming at her j
side in flowing end, she had it on, the [
whole three yards of It.
"Torine," he stammered.
"Mieheli," she mimicked, deliciously. i
Then with mock severity. "What for J
you didn' say 81 when I teli it you? You !
wottldn' cheat to get me de blue ribbon, i
1 have togo back on my word and wear
la ruban rouge." Culture, that puts a j
One edge on sense of rectitude, may i
have had something to do with it, native j
kindness of heart more, and love for him j
most of all. Mlchell was too wise torea- [
son. Thbv were around behind the j
school house—out of sight of the crowd i
where the mare was tied, so he took i
the dear girl in his'arms and kissed her. j
"Alort quoi. qu'est-eo que vous voulez?" j
Do not blame the dogs that disport j
themselves in Newport society. The j
poor animals cannot cboose-their asse- !

J A GKHAT GENERAL.
■ KUROPATKIN THE BIIAINIESX
j i SOLDIER IN RUSSIAN ARMY.
| Has Amply Demonstrated His Ability
j by His Handling- of a Difficult
■" Situation in the Campaign
in Mancliuria.
London. —In Gen. Kuropatkin the
Russians possess a general of the- high- |
| est ar.d rarest order of military genius. |
In the great battle round Liaoyang,
i and in the operations of the two
! months preceding it, he showed rpiali- I
j ties of generalship which, when they |
| are properly understood, will, we be- j
! lieve, call forth universal admiration, j
Consider what the task before (Jen. :
j Kuropatkin was when he took up his
i command. 111 the first place, he did 1
| not come on the scene tiil the war was I
; well begun, and so the conditions of !
i action had been dictated for him.
The disposition of the forces, navai 1
, and military, and all the fa range j
. ments for supply, had been made, not j
| by him or under his orders, but by !
i the viceroy. Admiral Alexieff, who, !
i whatever else he may be, is not a
| strategist of the first, class. Gen. j
Kuropatkin found himself, that is.
i ! called onto carry out. "another mail's !
| \ job," and a job which had been ill
I begun and worse planned. Though it j
j may bo too much to say that all was j
, confusion and indecision at the front !
j it is certainly not tc.o much to say !
i that his first business when he arrived |
, ; in Manchuria was to rearrange tlx
H disposition of his forces, to make pro
; vision for their safety and. efficient
I supply, and to hold in check nil enemy
j whom he was unable to attack owii;: '
I 1 to that enemy's military superiority
j He bad, in fact, to stand on tbs de- 1

;
: fensive —always the most diflieuli op- !
i eration in war. And, difficult as do- j
I fensive warfare always is, Kuropatkin j
! chose its most arduous form. He did j
I not, that is, retreat at once, gathering j
i his forces while the operation could j
1 still be unopposed, to some strong po- \
sition, but fell back gr;i liutlly, disput- i
ing the ground as 110 went. For ex- I
j ample, his first act was to send a force i
I south, which was apparently intended
Ito try to relieve I'ort. Arthur, but !
| which was far more probably meant
| to delay and hamper the Japanese ad- |
| vance, and so prolong ay far as pos
j sible the initial stages of the war. i
j It may bo that lie was ordered by the ■
i czar to undertake the impossible task 1
; of relieving Port Arthur: but if he j
j did receive that order, he used it so !
i skillfully that instead of producing a j
| disaster, ax a real attempt at relief :
j would have done, k enabled hint to I
| gain time for preparing a defensive j
! position ol' immense strength at
| Liaoyang.
When the tide of Japanese advance
j swept over this first bulwark, and his j
I troops were driven out of Newehwang, !
| the military situation had, from Ills
I ;;oiut of view, distinctly improved. It
■ is true that he was uuab'e. 10 hold tUe ;
lines around Liaoyang as Wellington i
i held the lines at Torres Vcdras; but be- j
| fore he evacuated his prepared posltou [
; he forced the Japanese to dash them !
! selves against il in a 12 clays' action, !
J which inflicted, at any rate, as great j
I a loss on the assailants as on the de- j
' fender;?.
It was, however, in his retreat froui j
! Liaoyang, even more than in the bat- j
! ties around it, that Gen. Kuropatkin j
! showed his military genius. He man j
| aged to withdraw his army in the fat.e ;
: of the enemy's fierce assaults, and of j
1 j their desperate attempts to turn las j
I flanks, ana also in spite of a difficult j
' country, and of roads deep in mud. j
. And this he did without any iuss in ;
| guns or prisoners thai is worth con- i
j sidering. It. is officially stated by the ■
| Japanese that only 13 prisoners were j
j taken. If this is indeed the full tale. !
i it is without parallel in the history of I
i war. An army retreating under at i
j tack, even when Its morale is iindis- i
I turbed, almost expects to los-e prison- i
j ers, owing to tho fact that detavfed j
j bodies have necessarily to be left be- j
I hind to delay the cntniy. The genera, |
I in retreat usually counts upon having I
I i»ieces snipped off tho "fringes'' ol j
i his force. That Kuropatkin suf- !
j fered no such loss is a sign c;f tho !
j masterly way in which the retreat was j
| conducted.
Children Disguised In Dirt.
I Susan IV Anthony, on her return
i from Europe, talked In an engaging
1 way about tho things she had seen ;
j over there. Of a certain slum she j
I ! said: "The children in this slum are 1
J dirty, very dirty. 1 hardly know how ;
: I may make clear to you the superla- j
I five degree of dirtiness that marks j
them. I was told, for 0110 thing, that ;
a mother in this slum often goe3 oul j
, on the street and washes half a dozen j
| children's faces before she ia able to
1 find ter own child."
