THE LOVE OF NOEL YAM
Nestled away nruouj; the mouulnins of
Pennsylvania is the Inyely litlU town of
liodfiirdville, wheto lived not uiauy ymra
ago 11 widow lady lij the trnma nf Vuuo,
with lur only son Noel. Ills lather bad
been n Philadelphia, merchant, but, ily
iuii Ktiddenly, left ills wife nuil liny witli
n Miiiill income, barely KtiUleient ti ay

Uedfordville, where aba ownod n little-
cottage, and could Iberef'ire live without
extriiv.ijitice; nnd, li ivini; by economy
Hiived up ti considerable sum uf ninnay,
she made bcr Brr.ingemenln, unci nfter n

Noel oou won bis way to the hearts of
pro lessors nnd btutleiils, and niltr n year
rrtnriiud homo with the knowledge that
he blood at the heat! of bis elass.
During bis vucitiou Noel amused him
self by tuutiug nnd flHhiu;; in the ilny
time, aud bpeudiui; hisevei.iuys at home
with his mother, who d.iily locked with
more and more pride upou her noble
boy,
RelnrDing from a hunting expedition
in lb mountains one day. our hero
canio out of tho woods into n carriage
road just in time to see a pony, wilbu
young girl mounted upon bis bnck, ilash
rapidly by, pursued by half a dozen
bupgiy wolves. The pony made but u
tew bounds down tl.o road ulien be wn
(eiz' d nnd nlmoht dragried to tbo ground
by the fierce brutes, which in n moment
more would Iuivh emled the struggle hud
nut Noel raised bis gnu, nnd taking dc
liberate aim, fired twice. To wolvis
t II dead, aud the remainder, taking
(right, fled from tbeirunsteu foe. Iunu
iustatit Noel was by the side of the pi uy
and lifted from Ibo saddle tbo oung
Kirl, who, more dead thnu r.live, could
hariUy Kpeak. He gave her a drought
of water Irom Lis bunting.fl,isk, aud in
11 short time she ncovired and said to
him: "I am Judge. AllyuV daughter, nnd
uiy home is ouly u mile Irom bcro through
the woods."
When Judge Allyn learned from bii
daughter's lips her narrow teenpu from a
horrible death, be was oveiwhelmed with
gtutitnde lo onr hero. Mm. Allyn nnd
Dillo called npun Mrs. Vunc; bnt as the
former tried to repay with money the
value cf btr daughter's life. Noel begged
his mother not to repay the visit; nud a
few days after he lelt for college, the nf.
fair almost passed from tho minds of the
towu'a people.
Upon hU second vacation, Noel fre
quently met llelle, aud between them a
childish love began that promised to
ripen to a sinctre and lastiug affection.
Two more years rolled by, aud Noo
graduated with the first honors of his
cl.iss.und returned to his home to receive
the congratulations of his friends. But
nlasl bis poor motbtr'v health bad great
ly failed; and u few du)u utter bis ur
rival her spint was called Irom im earth

Noil determined to sell his Utile homo

study ol U that ho had commenced the
year before.
UjIi re leaving, be called npon Belle
and
olu bcr of bis devoted ! for her
Irom the time ho had saved her life, and
. . . , , , ,, ...
sskedherto temiiin tins to him while
ho was struggling for wealth nud famo
away from her. Sho told him she loved
him with nil the strength of her girlish
nature.aiid that neither time nor distance
should cnuso bcr to forget blm.
The interview betweeu Noel apd Judge
Allyn was a stormy one, nnd tbo result
wan that Noel left Bedforville with a
shadow upon his young life, aud ringing
n his ears wcro tbo Insulting words:
'Hud you asked mo for my thousands ol
acres tu return for saving my daughter's
life I would have piven tbtm to yon; but
to ask for her hand a poor, starting,
unknown boy Reek her hand in marriago
never, s-lrl neverl'
Five years were lost in tho vortex of
time, and ngatu Noel Vuue comes before
tis, but tjreatly changed from tbo boy of
20, for bis extraordinary tnleuts and un
tiring energy have wou for him n position
a one of tbo most prominent young
lawyers at the Philadelphia bar.
Living at Bedfordvlllo was a Mr. Car
ter, a gentleman of wealth nud pcBlliou,
who bad been endeavoriug for a number
of years to establish tho claim of two
chllditu placed under bis enre nt the
den'.b of their guardian to an immense
propirly tbnt bad been left without a
will. Hiving met with Noel when in
Philadelphia, aud known him as n boy
wbiu in Benfordille, ho detirmiued to
place the case iu bis hands.
Tho day when the important case was
to be decided arrived, and us Nool, ufier
healing bis opponent's arguments upon
the Hil j'ct, nroso to reply, ha took a
carelul glance around the court-room.
Judge Alliti fir.t upon the bench, nun ns
Noel saw the proud lrok be wore, bis
face brightened and a Litter smile of ear-
sm hovered ironnd bis month, while a
triumphant light came into his eyes. As
be ghuictd proimd the room bis ryes
met tbo lull, loting gazJ uf Belle Allyn
fixed upon bim.nudtbe hot blood lushed
into his face, nnd then needing, left
htm ua pale ns iHilh, for to fall before
bcr wns to foriver blast his hopes.
Willi un effort bo rccoyired himsell
and entered upon bis argument in favor
of Iho children's claim, clearly statlrjg
the facts of case, mill concUely speaking
of the main points to bo considered.
Hiving answered every question of his
pponcut, he commenced his speech, aud
for more than nu hour tho large audience
listened breathlessly to his flow til liril
lijnt language; nnd when lie took his
sent lew present doubted Ihe result cf
the decision being in bis favor, for his
clear reasoning, Fiiliro, nnd fine orator!
c.il powers bad worked wonders upou

In u short limo Hip jury returned from
their consultation Nod l.ud won tbo
caso.
After Noel had received tho cougratn
luliotis of his mauy friends. Judge Allyn
came up to him with his baud extended
and said:
'Mr. Vane, can I offer mv concralu.
l.itions to yon, for I never in my lile
heard a more brilliant speeob than the
ono just delivered?"
Noel nccepted the extended hand, and
a proud look came into bis eyes as be 111:
swered:
"It gives me joy to hear praise from
ynu. Judge Allyn, for I hardly expected
it "
"I know, V.iue, I have not (rented you

your saving my daughter's life; but let
nil mi I asinlnoss be forgotten and ac
company us home to dinner, lor Mrs.
Allyn nud Belle are wnltiug iu tbo car

Noel's heart beat quick ilh joy, nnd
oblivious ol other eugigemenls lo din
aud pass Iho evening wilh friends, be
accompanied tbo judge to tho carrige,
where be received u most cordial greot-
ing from Ihe ladies, and their warm con
gratulations upon bis success. As be
met the look ol Bello aud lelt the slight
pressure of her baud, bo knew that be

he had not kuowu for n long time, he
drove home with Ihe judge to tho bouse
which, j ears before, ho had been for

auswei:
"Mr. Vane, I havo long known bow

real joy I give my consent lo her marri

Madame Sauvage.
When the war broke out, tho sou of
Siuvage, who was then 33 years old, en
listed, leaving bis mother totally alone.
Folks did not, however, pity the old wo
man mucu because she had money
everybody knew that!
So sho remained alone iu her tsol.iled
bouse, so far Irom the village at the edge
of tho foreat. But sbo was not iu the
least afraid, being of tbo same stock as
Iho men of tho country a hardy old
woman, tall and gaunt, who seldom
laughed, and whom nobody presumed to
trifle with. Indeed, the country women
there do not laugh much. Laughing
is well enough for the inei.l The minds
ol those women are melincholy nnd nar
row, for their lives aro dismal nud sel
dom lightened by an hour of joy. The
peasant husband oi sou learns something
of noisy gaily in the tavern; but their
helpmates and mothers remain serious
with visages perpetuully austere. Tbo
muscles ot their faces have never acquir
ed tbo movements of laughter.
Old Mother SatiTfige continuad bcr
ordinary mode of life In her cabin, which
was soon covered with buow. Oiue n
we'-l; sho used to oome to tho ci'.y to
buy a little bread and meat, after which
she would return to bcr dwelling. As
there wan a good deal of talk about
wolves, she never went out without a
gun slung at her back the sou's gun, a
rusly weapon whoso butt wns quite worn
awnv by tbo mere rubbing of horny
hands against it, nnd it was really curi
ous to watch tbo tall old woman, a little
stooped by ago.stridiug leisurely through
the enow, with the barrel ot Ibe gun
sticking up above the black coveting
which surrounded btr bead and confined
those white tresses which nobody bad
ever seen.
One duy the Prussians came. They
were quartered upon the inhabitants of
the place, according Id the fortunes and
lesourcesof tach lauiily. The old wo
man had lo receive four, because she
was known to be rich.
These were fonr big lads with fair
flesh, fair bean's uud blue eyes who
hud remained stout in spite of all the
fatigues Ihey had endured, uud who
hei-med lo be right good fellows.Bllbongh
oonqnerers iu a conquered oouutry
Finding Ihtmselrea nlone with the old

thinking of btr own son her tall giant
boy, with his hooked nose and brown
eyes, nud thick moustache that seemed
to covir bis lip with a virituble pad of
black hair. And every day she used to
ask each of the four soldiers quartered
iu her home- "Do you know where that
French regiment is Iho Tweuly-Tbitd
nf the lint? My soi.'s iu tbnt."
They would reply, ns well as they
could: "Neinl don' know don' know

pain and anxieties, these yuuug men,
who had mothers living lar away in Ger
many, paid her n thousand delicate little
attentions. She liked tbtm veil enough

People In that port of the country used
alwajs to say when speaking of Mother
Sauvage'H Germans:
Tbtrt's four fellows who've found a
snug berth."
Well, one morniog while Mother Sal
vage was all alone at home, she caught
fight of a man, quite far off on the plaiu
hastening towaid btr dwelling. He soou
came near enough for ber to recoguize
him; it was the country postman. He
handed luy a shoet of folded paper; and
sho look her glasses, which she always
wore when sewing, out of an old spec
tacle ca-e-c.iBe; and rind as follous:
Madame Sinvjat: Tnis will tell ynu n

reaiment of the line. '
The letter was dated three weeks pre
vlously. Sho did not cry. Sbs remained mo
tionless, so overwhelmed, so stupefied
by the blow, that she did not at nuce feel
tbo ptlti of it. Sho thought only;
"There's Victor killed now I" Then little
by Utile, (be tears slowly rose to her
exes, aud the pang began to make itself
felt at ber heart. Fancies came to ber,
onoaiter the other lrightful, torturing.
Never could sho kis ber child again
her only child, her great tall son! nev
erl The gendarmes hud killed his father,
the poacher; now the Pruanh.us bad
killed btr son. He had been cut in two
by a cinnon ball, And it seemed to her
she could see the thing tbo -a bole hor
rible thing: the bead falling off, with
ees wide open, nud bis teeth slill
gnnwing tbo corners of bis thick mous
tache, as bo was wont to do in his hoars
of nngcr.
And after, what bnti thoy tlono with
his body. If tbey had eveu given ber
back her son again, as they bad brought
bcr busbaud haul: to her. with a riffu
ball through the center of his forehead.
But she beard a sound of loud voicts.
It was the Prus.-laun returning fioni the
village. Quickly sbo hid tbo Utter iu
her pocket, nud received them very
calmly with her custcmary face; for she
had bad the time to wipe her eyes well.
They were all laughing, the four of
Ibem quite delighted becauso Ihey had
bceu able to bring homo a splendid rab
bit with them stolen, no doubt; and
they made signn to the old woni-ju that
(l ey weie going to haye something won
derlully good to eat.
She set to work at once to prepare
breakfast for them; but when the time
came to kill the rabbit, ber bexrt failed
her. Aud yet it was uot Ibe first rabbit
by any means that the bad been given to
killl One of the soldiers killed it by
striking it behiud the ears with his
hand.
Once it was dead she took tbo red
body out of thoakiu; but the sibt of Iho
blood which she was handling, which
covered ber hands tbo warm blood
which she felt getting cold and coagulat
ing mada her tremble from head to
foot; and sho always saw before her Ihe
figure of her tall son, cut in two, and
nil red Just liko tho body of the still pal.
pitntiug animal.
Sho sat down lo table with her Prus
sians; but sho could not eat even so
much as a mouthful- Tiiey finished the
rabbit without noticing ber. Meanwhile
she watched them sideways, without
speaking maturing a singular purpose
in ber mind, and jet with such an im
passive face that none of them observed
an thing unusual.
All of a suddeu she asked: ''I don't so
much as know your uames; andyet wo've
been a mouth together now?"
Tbey were not able to understand
what she wanted without somo difficulty;
and then they told her their uirues. That
was not enough. She made them write
the names down on a piece of paper, to
gether with the nddiessig of their fami
lies; and, perchitg ber spectacles upon
ber great nose, she looked at the Btrauge
(iermau writing. Then she folded up
tbo paper carefully, nnd put it into ber
pocket, next lo the letter which had told
ber about the death of ber sou.
"When the meal was over she aid (o
them, -Now, I'm going tu do some work
for you."
Aud she proceeded to oarry hay up to
tbo loft in which tbey slept.
They thought this was very queer; but
she explained to tbtm that it would cu
ablo them to kesp uioo and warm, so
they all helped her. They piled up the
hay to the straw roof; and thus made
themselves a sort of bed-room with four
sloping walls of forage, warm and fra
grant, where tbey could sleep delight
lully. At dinner-time one of tbcra became
quite anxiuus nt seeing that old Mother
Sauvage ate nothing. She told them she
hid crumps. Then she lit a good fire iu
order to warm herself; uud the four Ger
mans ascended to their lolt by tho lad
der which led to it.
As soon as tney bad closed down Ihe
Irap-door, she tookuway the ladder; and
going out nois-les.-ly, she began to col
lect straw and fill her kitchen with it
She walked barefoot through the snow
so sollly that no one could benr her.
From time to time she beard the loud
and irregular snoring of the four sleep
ing soldiers.
When she judged her preparations
completo, she put a bunch of straw in
tho lire.lhen flung tba.burulng heap upon
tbe rest; aud she weut out uud looked!
A fierce glare lighted tbe interior of
tbe building in a few second-; then tbe
whole became a frightful furnace, a
gigautio oven, whoso violent light blazed
through the siugle uirrow window, and
flung a long bright band across the suow.
Then a great terrible try rang out
Irom tbe upper part of the house; suo
ceeded by a clamor of yells, humap
bowlings hideous cries of agony and fear,
Aud then, tbe floor crumbling in, a storm
of flrmes, roarod up into tbe left,, burst
through tbe root' of straw, rote to heaven
like a vast torch-lire; aud tbe whole
structure Hired agalnt tbe night.
Nothing could now be beard but the
crackling of tbe oonfligration.lbe crumb
liuc of tbe walls, tba falling of tbe great
beams Tbe last fragments of tbe roof
fell in, and tbe red hot oarcass of tbe
dwelling flung skyward n great jit of
sparks through a cloud of beuvy sm ike,
Tbo snow. whitened country illuminat
ed by Ihe fire, shone like a sheet of sil
ver, tluttd wilh orimsnm.
Afar St. a gre.it bell began to ling.
Old Mother 8 m ape stood erect before
the red ruin nf her home, nrtnod with a
r.fl , her dead son's rilld. fearing that
out of tbe men might tuicupe.
When aha haw It wns all over, the
flung tbe weapon into the fire. A
single sharp report r-ng nnt.
People cams ruuuli g to the scene
phemnts and Prussian soldier.
Tbey found Ihe old woman sitting on
the ttunk of a tree calm nnd satisfied.
A germon officer who spoke French
like n Frenchman, nsked her:
"Where are your soldiers?"
Sbo stretched out bei- long, lean arm
toward the crimson mass of ruins, where
the Cro wan dying down nt last, and
answer in a strong and violent voice.
"INSIDE!"
AH gathered about he r. Tho Prussian
askedi
"How did tbo fire start?"
She replied sunorously:
"I started it."
They could not helleye her; tboy
thought the disaster had rendereJ ber
iusaue. And then, while all listened,
and pressed closer about her to hear.she
told tbo whole story from begiunlng to
tbe end from the receipt of the teller
even lo tbo last cry of tho men burned
up in her houss. She did not forgut one
single detail of what she hud felt, nor of
what she bad done.
Then, when she had told all, she took
from her pooket two pieces of papsr.acd
in ordti- to distinguish them by the light
of tbe fire, she coolly put ou ber glass-e,
Then she said, showing one paper.
"That is tho letter ubout Victor's death.";
And holding up the other sho add
ed, nodding ber head toward Ihe
ruddy ruins: '.'There! tbnt'a their names,
so you can wrlto to their folks about
them." She presoutol tho paper to the
officer who held her by tho shoulders,
and sho continued :
"Yoa can write to them how this thing
happened, ami yon can just tell their
pirents that it was I who did it I, Vic
tore Simon, called La Sauvage! Do&'t
you forget ill''
Tbe cflkir roared out some orders in
German. Tbey seized her und flung her
back against tho still glowing walls ot
her dwelling. Quickly twelve men took
their places iu front of ber, twenty yards
away. Sho never winked. She knew
what was coming. Suo waited lu perfect
calm.
An crde r rang out, followed by a long
detonation. One shot was beard later
than the rest all by itself.
Tho old wotusn did not fall; she sank
down perpendicularly, na though her
legs bad been cut away Irom under ber.
Tho I'russiuu ifficer approached to
look. Sho bad been almost severed in
two by tbe volley, and her stiffened fin
gers still clenched the lettcr.ull spattered
wltu blood.
