Of all tho bright, joyous little fel lowa that I ever met in tho field or clsowhcro, Mtxtne Durand was tho ri'htoit ex.1 triple.

In Tain I expostulated wih him. WHllcin up and down In tho inotr; in vain I pointed out to him the fact that throughout the campaign no corre ijiondont had boon so much as touched; for answer ho took me to the top of a mound and showed mo the lights of Tirnova iu tha di-.tanee and paid: There is a bail waiting for mo be hind thoso walls; it will come to find me to-morrow,." -. : In vain I reasoned. In vain 1 chatTed. and at last I thought it bt to humor him and then ho said to me: "Ned. you are ray most intimate friend a raon; the boy a here, I want yon to do something for me when I have fallen in the snow. I wear around my nock a gold chain with a portrait sutx-nded to it, and a littlo golden imayo of 'L Madonna. Tho portrait is that of the daughter of old Xiohuhn Sterelle. of DoutiL If I had not been hei4I should have been mar ried to her by now. When I am dead I want you to tako this chain, this locket, this image to her, and say that Maximo died thinking only of her, praying with his hist breath for her in the hope of seeing her hereafter. Listen a moment; we parted terribly. The war, as you know, broke out sud denly; and I was ordered by telegraph to-tho front without having a moment in which to write to Mario. It hap- rmed thus: I was at Arjenton when received the telegram and I rushed tho same evening to Iouai to say good bye to h--r. I arrived tired and ill, and before taking myself to sco her I entered tho restaurant of Fierro Lar iv, toti.ko u bite to eat. There I met Fierro Dufouro, who has for years been endeavoring to supplant mo in the e-tee:n of Marie, IIo a-.ked mo how it was that I was there and I told him that -I hnd boon ordered to tho war and that I had com to pay "good bye" to-Marie. He would not believe it and I took out of my j-x-ket tho tel egram I had received from Paris to show him. At tho samo time I acci dentally took out her 1h1 letter to me; as he saw it, a look of jealousy camo over htsfaoo. but he said natthir.g, anil presently rose and went out. My meal at an end. I started for the home of my sweetheart, but ju.-t as I turned up a narrow street which I always use-d as a short cut in going to l.er, I f Jit a violent blow upon tho head a.d re membered no more. ' Whoa I camo to myself the littlo money I had In my pock ;t,"my watch and all my papers, including the tel egram and Marie's letter, had been gt'.'5-n douh'lcas the thief, having noticed that my clothes tvero of the latest Parisian cut, im:,'i"od that I was worth robbing. I camo to myself seated iu the corner of a smoking-car In a train goia in tho direction of I knew not wL-re- It was an hour or more b, fore the train stopped. Then, fee-liny sick and giddy, I nked how It was 1 camo there and where I was go ing. Tho gnard said that a tall, fair man had carried mo la his arms into the station, had taken for me a ticket to Paris towards which tho traiu was now hastening, and put me uud.-rtho caroof the guard, paying that it was important that I should be in Taris In the morning, but that 1 had boon hurt in some d-unken brawL I wruj too etup fled to say any thimr. I arrived at Firis ar.d botook myself imme diately to tho ofhee of Lit Franco, re ceived my iutructiens and my baggage and h:ilf an Lour lat-r was ou my way to .isch. Two hours after that you met mo and that is alL "I havo written to Mario since I hive been In the field, but I can not tell whether my letters hr.vb got through tho Screinn lines. I could nt. a yen American correspondent do. bead them to be jested by the edit or of my paper. Promise me that you will ear:y my mossigss, my friend, and now let us go In and try to sleep." Early next day they began to bom bard us from Tirnova, A war corre spondent's fi.-?t duty Is to his paper, he Is its property, and therefore he ha-f no right to wa-to himself unneces sarily; (il-cretion L, therefore, the better j.nrt of valor, and speaking fur myself, whenever the plan is feasible. I get into a tree and behiud a. good thick limb. I Lad done thij to-day and my horse stood underneath, his long cavalry bridle hitched over my foot as it swung from my perch. Maximo Durand had followed my ex ample and sat in the fork of a tree about twenty yards away, chanting somo little French sorg or other as he made notes of the ncti an that was go ing on beforo our eyes. Prosently a shell soared over mv head at a dis tance cf fibntit fifty yards and almost ImnwJmt-ly aftorrrj-rds thro or four rif.o bullets whistled through tho branches of tho tro-j in winch I was sitting. It occurred to ma that this was unseru!y. n:id, Hopping only to '!ght a rigar. I l-.t irv-elf tV. p into my saddle ar.d pr -pr.re-1 to seek some more sheltered spot, shouting as I did M my intention to Maximo. IIo pre pared to fallow my example, and as he saw no light my cigar he shcuted: tuvo me one; I havo been trying to li.'ht a cigarette all tho morning, but it is so windy I can't do it. I havo waited all my matches. I gave him a cigiw and as I had a spring-flint-wheel and steel r.r.d used a scrap ot tinder, I called him over to mo and handed him the apparatus. As the flint-wheel revolved and pro duced a light shower of sparks, my horse reared end danced away about half a dozen yards, and there I stayed waiting until Maximo got a light. As he!:d60. the white cloud which iu companies a shell nppeared over our heads. I bhouU'd to him: "Shell!" and ducked immediately behind my horse, but he did not. The report came, and as my horso turned 6harp and Rod I saw poor Maxime struck fully in tho chest by a fragment of the shell. Ills horse fell at th same time. u-l i-ccr little Iarar.d was dwui I j thought Immediately of our conversa tion of tho previous night, went back to the spot, and took from tho jioor mangled body the chain, the locket and the image for Marie. The ghastly horror of the task bailies description, but for safety I put the chain round my own nck and wore inhere during the rest of the war. Tho Servo-Bulgarian campaign of 'feo and '8G terminated, as you know, rather suddenly in the sprir.g of the latter year, and as my mother, the only person interested in my movements, bad received continual news of me through the editor of our paper and 1 had no 6woetheart longing for a sight of mo. boro returning to America I went to Paris and from there took the train to Douai to perform the commis sion of poor little Maxime Durand. I arrived there on an exquisito spring morning and on my way passed tho sign of "Larreze Eestaurateur." Here, thought I, Is where Maxime dined the night ho camo to sny good-by o. I went in and while breakfasting engaged tho old Breton in conversation. Could he direct me to the house of Nicholas Sterello, I asked. Certainly, but Nicho las was dead; his daughter, however, Mme. Dufoure, lived next door to whero Nicholas Sterello had died, and no doubt I should liko to see her. I aked who she was. It seemed that sho had been . engaged to a young Parisian journalist, a war correspond ent, who had deserted her brutally. Ho had run away and had not returned. They ' did not know what paper he served or they would have inquired about him at its office. Meanwhile, Mario Storelle had married his rival. I rose and sought Mario and found, as Maximo had told me, a little narrow street, towards the top of which the name of "Sterello" was in scribed over a shop whoso shutters were closed. Next door to it a mil liner's store Inscribed "Dufoure" was brilliant with Paris novelties of two seasons ago. I went in to buy some cravate. and, whilst I was being served by a brisk and certainly()mi.-t attract ive little Frcuchwoman, 1 said: " ... "Have I the pleasure of addressing Mme. Dufouro, tiee btereller" She answered la tho affirmative. "Your name, Madame," said I, "has been mentioned to me by M"sIcjaJuraad. whom I met recently in tho ?ft." Sho grow very white and a hard lo-k nettled ovef her features as ihe answered: . "All, you knew Maxime Durand, who went out to the war. Ho has stayed there, I understand." "i'es," I replied, "be has stayed there," -. .. . " I found somo difficulty In inducing her to permit mo to talk about Max ime at alL When I said that ho had oneo spoko to me of A..r it seemed only to anger her the more. Finally I said, with American bluntness: Vou did not return Maxiine'a regard, his affection " . - - I do not know," sho Interrupted, "whether he Is a friend of yours, but for four years, M'siou, I was devoted to that man; ho was to have married me when Lis position on his paper, of which I do not know even the name (for he never told mo about himself), would justify him in doing so, but when his position became a fcood one and would have enabled htm to marry me. ho flung me aside like nn old glove."--- ..." And though' tho little woman's bos om heaved with rage, tho tremor of her lip told mo tliat sho wa not so ClIious about It as she would have me believe. 1 asked her if I might bo t-o indiscreet as to ak her the history of thu event, as I had met M'sioii Du rand and did not w ish to havo a filse opinion of him. She told mo that when Maximo had been ordero-l to iho front he had come ortr ftom Arjeu ton, wl.-re ho was then staying, and, instead of coming to see her, had eu ?.igod himself in a drunken brawl in the cabaret of Fere Larreze, that Pierre Dufouro had been present and had seen him exhibit and road aloud her hast love-letters to him. - J'hcro wc.3 no doubt about this, for M. Du foure, whom sho had since married, had quoted to her long passages theio from, which left no room for doubu He had nevor written to her or made any 6ign, and she had cmehed him out of her heart and married M. Dufoure. True, M. Dufouro was rather old, and he himself, unfortunately. pla3-ed part in tho drunken brawl with which Maximo Durand had celebrated his farewell to DouaL This was his one f.vilt, excepting, perhaps, a certain moroeone-srt of tamper. But she was his wito now, and it was not for a few days, a few weeks, a few months, a fevr year-, but for all her life, and so sho had sufficient seif-respect to mako the lvst of it. Yes, sho admitted that sho had loved Durand, but he bad treated her shamefully, 'and she would not let the thought of him tpoil her life. At this moment a scur-looklng, black-haht-d man entered tho shop and said in sharp, coarso tones: "Muuamo Du foure. I bog thr.t you will attend to tho Ou.--iriet.s of the shop instead of stand ing chiiitering with strangers of w hom you know nothing." So this was her husband! The poor littlo woman, cowed by his manner, returned to her eomjifcir and I looked at tho husband, to whom I remarked that I Lad finished my purchases- I thought for a moment this Is her husband, and the is doing her best to steer tho frail bark of her liappinoss through the quicksands of a terrible future. Shall I leavo her thtis. strengthened in her attempt to do her duty by her belief in a dead man's per fidy, or fcha'.l I render her life one long dull regret by telling- her the truth and turn her respect for her husband into hutrf-d by a reciud of what has evidently been hLs hellish treachery? 1 thought -for an Instant, and then I came away.

There is no struggle in this world greater thanhat of a fat man trying to f,et thin, or a thin man trying to gain flesh. The fat man exercises and takes Russian baths to pull himself down; and when ho stops for a week, he is stouter than ever. Tho thin man furnishes himsf with farinaceous food, and doesn't gain an ounce. Ho also abandons the luxury of tobacco, without the desired result. He takes Turkish baths that the re action may build him up; but he has to give this practice up for lack of physique. The fat man diets for a month and loses a pound; but by thi9 time he fetds so weak that he can not help indulging In two or three days' high living. At the end of the third day he is about two pounds heavier than when he be gan fasting. In the morning he takes a .pair of six-pound bells and whirls them about fifteen seconds, and believes he has been using them for five minutes. Then he works on a rowing-muchino for awhile, which gives him an appe tite for breakfast that puts more on him . than the exercise has taken oil. lie reads all sorts ofarticles ntid fol lows all sorts of rules on tho reduction of flesh; hut he can no more grow thin than the thin man can grow fat When the fat man and tho thin man meet, they envy each other. " Oil, if I only had forty pounds of your flesh!" says the thin man, who looks like a pair of shears. "How happy I'd bo with about half your thinness!" replies tho fat n-.an, who loses his wind looking at tho thin man. ""T '-r- 'Ilio city fat man would wSalk twenty miles a day, ho says.

In a few minutes afterwards their doubts were removed by tho appearance of about five or six hundred Indians on both sides cf thi cn-ek, who beckoned them to come ashore. As retreat was now impossible. Colter turned the hebd of the canoo to tho shore. At tho moment of its touching an Indian seized the riflo belonging to Potts. But Colter, who was a remarkably strong man, immediately retook it ar.d handed It to Potts, who remained in iho canoe, and upon receiving it, pn-hed off into tho river.
