There was scarcely a sound in the forest as the snow fell upon the trees, a fine snow that made their branches ap pear as If covered with an icy moss. Before tho door of a house a young wo man was chopping wood. She was tall, and, though slender, was strong. She was a child of tho forest. A voice was heard coming from the house: "Berthlne you should como in soon, for there are Prussians and wolves roaming about." Berthlne replied, as she split a block of wood with a powerful stroke,. "I have finished, mother, I am coming, I am coming. It is still light." Then sho carried In tho wood, went out again to fasten the oaken doors of the shcil, and again entered the house, fastening the large bolts of the door. Her mother, an old woman whom age had rendered timorous, sat near the fire spinning. "I like It not," she said, "when the father Is away. Hero wo arc, two dc fenceless women." "Ah!" replied her daughter, as she gianceu towaru a large revolver sus pended over tho fireplace, "I can easily kill a wolf 'or a Prussian It Is all the same." Berthine's husband had joined the army at tho beginning of tho Prussian Invasion, and she lived with her moth er and father, the old forester, Nicho las Pichon, who had obstinately refused to quit Ills woodland dwelling for the town. . . The nearest town was Bethel, an an cient stronghold perched upon a rock. The inhabitants were patriots and had decided to resist the Invaders. They had procured cannons, and muskets and equipped a militia. The soldiers were drilled dally by M. Lavlgne, tho haberdasher, who was an cx-ofilccr of dragoons. Thus they awaited the arrival of the Prussians, but tho Prussians did not appear. They wcro not far off, how. ever, for twleo already their scouts had pushed through tho wood as far as the house of Nicholas' Pichon, which was the outpost in the forest of Aveline. Twice eaclrwoek Pichon went to town for provisions and Informed tho citizens of what had occurred In his neighbor- hood. He had gone to town this very morning to announce that two days be- fore a small detachment of German in- fantry had halted at his place for about two hours and then departed. The V 1 French. That ercnuig, when Berthlne was DUG HIURE about to put the pot on tho lire to make, tho soup, to violent knocks were heard, at tho door. As tho women mailo no reply a loud, gutters! voice said, "Open tho door." Then, after a brief silence, the same voice continued, "Open tho door or wo will break It." Dcrthlno took down the revolver from above tho fireplaco and slipped it Into her pocket, Then she said, "Who are you?" Tho same voice replied, "The detach-. ment of soldiers who wcro hero tho othe day." .: "What do you want?" said the young woman. , "We have been lost In the wood since morning. Open tho door or we will break it In 1" Uerthlne had no choice. She quickly drew the largo bolts, nnd opening tho door saw beforo her six men six Prus sian soldiers, the same who had stopped there two days before. "Why do you come hero at this hour?" she said In a resolute tone. "We nro lost," replied tho oflker. We recognized your house. Wo have had nothing to eat since morning." "Como In," said Berthlne, as she stood aside to let them pass. They entered the house. They were covered with snow and appeared to bo completely exhausted. The young woman pointed to the wooden benches at cither sldo of the large table, saying, "Sit down. I will make soup for you." When tho soup was prepared the Prussians ate voraciously. As they were thirsty, Berthlne descended Into the cellar to draw cider for them. She remained there a long time. The cel lar was a little vaulted cave, which, It was said, had served during the revo lution both as a prison and a hiding place. It was reifched by a narrow winding stairway, to which access was gained through a trap In tho centre of the kitchen. When Berthlne reappeared sho wore a cunning smile. She gavo the jug of cider to the Prussians. When the soldiers had finished eating they lay down to sleep about tho table. They stretched themselves on tho floor with their feet toward the lire, their heads supported by their cloaks rolled up for pillows, nnd soon they were snor ing In six different tones. Tfocy had slept some time, when sud denly firing was heard without, and so plainly that seemed to be directed against the walls of tho house. The soldiers rose at once. Two moro re ports were heard, followed presently by three others. Berthino appeared. Sho was appar ently frightened, ricr feet were bare, slto woro a snort sKlrt anil carried a candle in her hand. "iiie frcn.cn are coming l ' sho ex claimed, "There are at least two hun dred of them. If they find you hero they will bum tho house. Go Into tho cellar quickly and make no noise. If you mako a sound wo are lost. The officer, thoroughly frightened, sild In a low tone, "Wo will; wo will How shall wo descend?" The young woman quickly opened the trap door and the six men disappeared, one after another, down tho little wind, ing stair. When the point of tho lasMiclmet ha"d disappeared Berthlne lowered the heavy oaken plank, thick as a wall and hard as steel, which was held In nlaco by hinges and a lock, and, turning the key in the lock, began to laugh. It was a low.hys- terlcal laugh. Then she suddenly evinced an Irreslstiblo desire to dance over the heads of her prisoners. Soon, however, she heard murmurlngs under her feet. The prisoners had di vined tho ruse, and presently tho officer mounted tho little stair and began to pound the trapdoor with his fist. Again lie cried, "Open the door!" 'What do you want?" she asked. "Open tho door." "I will not." The man then became angry, and ex claimed, "Open the door, or I will break It In." Then sho began to laugh, saying, "Break It, my good man; break it," and ho began to knock with the butt end of his musket against the door of oak closed above his head, but It resisted the forco of his blows. The young woman went to the outer door of the house, and, opening It, looked out Into tho night and listened. A distant sound fell upon her ear. Then sho cried with all her might: "Ho, father." "Ho, Berthlne!" a voice replied. Presently tho large shadow of a man appeared where tho moonlight fell be tween tho trees. "I have tho Prussians in the cellar," said tho young woman. "Prussians In the cellar? What Prus sians? How did they come there?" Dcrthlno said laughing: "They arc those who were hero the other day. They wcro lost In tho forest, and I am keeping them cool in tbo cellar." a-Then sho related the adventure, how she had frightened them with the report of the revolver, and had fastened them In the cellar. "Well, what would you have me doat this hour?" asked tho old man. "Go-and fetch J!. Lavigno and,'lis troops. Ho will mako them prisoners, and will bo glad to do 11." "Yes, ho will be glad," said Father Pichon, with a smile, as he departed. For a long tlmo Berthlne remained alone, with her eyes fixed on tho clock. From time to time the Prussians were heard battering away at the trap door with their muskets. At length, think- lng It tlmo for the troops to arrive, Berthlne opened the door and listened. shadows movlnir in boon sho saw forest. They were the shadows of M. ----- - Lavlgne s men.

Thanho had a little hole made at the fiige.of tie trap door and formed a con duit from the pump to this opening. "Now we win give these Prussians something to drink," Then ho ordered a number of men to the pump, who' relieved each other every fiyo minutes. A stream of water glided through the conduit and fell Into tho cellar. The work of pumping was continued for three hours, the com mandant in the mealtime marching up aud down the kitchen, wondering why the men did not capitulate. About eight o'clock In the morning a voico was heard at thojittlc grated aperture which served to ventilate tho cellar, saying: "I want to speak with the French of ficer." Lavigno replied from tho window, ad vancing his head only a little: "Will you surrender?" The Prussian officer answered that he would. "Then pass your muskets out," added Lavlgne. Presently one musket was tassed through theapcrture and fell upon the snow, then another and another, until all had been passed out. Then the same voice jsald: "Wo have no more. JIake haste and let us out, for we arc nearly drowne,d." The commandant opened the trap door. Four dripping heads appeared four heads with pale faces and long yel low hair. Then, one by one, the six Prussians emerged, wet, jshlvcrlng and frightened. They were seized and bound. Tho commandant at once led away his prisoners, with whom he en tered Bethel In triumph, jr.

Anotncr class, not so numerous, arc the school killers. One Is sometimes known as the model director. Let him stand up whilo I address to him a few friendly words. l respect you, sir, becauso of your activity and your desire to be useful. As a business man you are a success, for in uusincss you uso common sense. Why do you throw aside that commodity iu discharging your official duties? When you wanted a man to build your houssc, you were careful to get the best workman, and when you hired a man to look after your cattle, you sought a faithful hand. But when you wanted a teacher for your children and those of your neighbor, you waited for a dozen or score of applications beforo making your choice. By so doing you gave tho live turciors a cnanco to select tlie best teachers, and you were obliged to take what were left, for every teacher, as you ought to have known was compelled to mako twelve or twenty applications at as many tliflerent places. It may have made you happy to have so many Intelligent strangers inquiring after you, but It would havo been belter tor your children If you liau ridden a round tho county inquiring for a good teacher. You have been heard to say that you never let any applicant know that one teacher Is preferred beforo another; but when you found that Tom Jones look sucn good cans of your farmimt Interests. you told him you wanted him another year, and that you would raise his wages. My anxious friend, dU It ever occur to you that If you had required Tom Jones to como to you nnd sue for his nlace. vou never would have liad his valuable ser- vicosV You kept him a good while; you exam ined his work often and your farm pros tiered. But. mv friend, did vou look In to tho school-room occasionally to see If your teacher was faithful and efficient? No. You kept away, and when your children reported what seemed to you to be strange proceedings for a teacher you censured her in their presence. It proba bly did seem strange to you tat she should ask so many questions that were not In tho book, tcratch straight marks on tho slates, havo tho small children learn to compose and write sentences, let thcin mako pictures for ten minutes every day.' refuse to do sums for the children at their beats, to have spelling school, and tQ rarry In wood and sweep the floor; but, sir, if you had but taken a little pains tp finilotit why she did thus you would not have dismissed her when her term was up.
