There was not a moro daring and active scout In Dazino's army than Tierre Danton. When Pierre voluntecrtd to silo into Qunqambo, to see what the Mexicans were doing It never occurred lo him that there was the slightest danger. Qulnqambo was a little mountain village, with a small garrison, and Pierre deter mined to appear In the role of a deserter. Tho son of a Spanish mother, ho did not look much like a Frenchman, and spoke tho language of the country like a native. But there was ono thing that the scout had not thought of. Col. Campos, then commanding tho post of Qulnquambo, had served on tho eastern coast In the early part of the war. If Pierre bad known this fact he would havo blown out his brains rather than play tho spy In the vicinity of tho ter rible Campos. At sunrise tho Frenchman walked boldly into tho little village and gave himself up lo the first sentinel he mot. His slory was plausible enopgh. He had lost faith in Maximilian and his cause, and had grown weary of hard fighting and scan ty rations. .Moreover he had fallen In love with a black-eyed senorlta, and could no longer bear arms against Mexico. The sentinel called a corporal, and the story was repeated. To these simple sol- Ucrs It seemed that the deserter was telling the truth, and nothing but the truth. "Ah, that French devil, IJazlne," said tho corporal, "he is frightened, la ho not?" Comrade," replied Pierre, "you hayc spoken truly. Dazlne is In dlspalr. His men are deserting by hundreds. Thej have nothing to cat, and the usurper Is without money to pay them." "In a few weeks they will ho driven Into tho sea," said the enthusiastic corporal. "You speak like a prophet," answered the spy. In the presenco of Col. Campos, the Frenchman measured his words. The vet eran listened without showing any Interest or surprise. His brown, leathery face never changed its expression, and his eagle eyes were apparently fixed upon the ground. "And you wwuld servo the ropubllc?" he asked, coldly. "Tiy me," was tho enthusiastic rcplr. "How am I to know that your slory Is true?" "Let me swear " began Pierre. "Xol" shouted tho colonel in a voice ot thunder. The ofllceis and soldiers gave i start of surprise, and for the first tlmo Pierre felt uneasy. "Hind hlin haiid'and foot!" was the tin expected order. Despite his protestations two men car ried out tho colonel's Instructions aud then braced the prisoner in a sitting posture against a convenient wall. "A year ago," said Campos, "I captured that fellow near Vera Cruz. I shot off the little finger on his right hand, and he marked me here on the forehead with his saber. The villain escaped that night, hut another prisoner told me all about hint. He Is not a soldier. He Is a s,iy. Ho has caused more trouble than any other man in Bazalnc s army. Now, Pierre Danton, what have ou to say?" "The colonel Is mistaken," said Pierre, "I never saw him before, and I am no spy. My namo Is Jean Itouvllle." "Look!" exclaimed u soldier. A glance showed that the prisoner's right Utile finger was missing. "Only a coincidence," said Pierre. "Guard him well," said the colonel. "No court-martial Is wanted here," and the grim soldier walked off. Securely pinioned as he was, Pierre saw that he could not escape. Ills eyes roved restlessly about, but there was nothing to encourage lilm. "The barbarians," he growled. "They will butcher me In cold blood. I doubt whether they will be kind enough to hang me. That Campos looks like a fiend, aud tho chances are that he Is even now Invent Ing some diabolical torture. I1VI1, it Is the fortune of war." Qulnquambo did not look YeO' Interest lng lo the spy as he sat there propped up against the colonel's hcadquarter'a. There was a plaza and a few scattered houses around It, except on one, Bile, where they had been destroyed by fire. There wero no citizens. The Inhabitants had abandoned the town, leaving it to the garrison. "There are not more than 300 of the ycl low rascals," mused the spy. 'Lord I but wouldn't Mike to see sorun of our cavalry come along. They would take the place in the twinkling of au eye." Just then two soldiers came along, and lifting Pierre In their arms, carried him to the center of the plaza. The captive at first thought his hour had come, but the aa proccsdsd lu sulleu illtnqs to tU him $1.28 when to the mouth of tho solitary cannon, an old-fashioned twclvo-pounder, pointed at the vacant side of the square. They lashed him with ills breast to the muzzle of the gun so securely that it was Impossible for him to niovo. Pierro thought of the brutal British fash ion of blowing Indian rebels from the mouths of cannon and wondered whether he was to he served the samo way. "It will be talked about all over Afexlco," said Col. Camoos.comlngup. "The French will get It Into their heads that the) are all lo ho treated In this way, and Very few will be willing to face such a death." "Comrade," said Pierre, to one of the soldiers after the colonel had gone, "docs he mean it?" "When the noonday sunLtrlkes that," replied Hie soldier, "It will all be oyer." Pierre looked and no'cd an Iron frame work over tho breach of the gun. On the top of this was a round object so bright and dazzling that tnado his cjes b'.lnk. "I do not understand," ho sad. "The burning glass there," explained the soldier, "is so placed that It fires the powder exactly nt noon. It never falls." The ylctlm shuddered. There was some thing horrible lu the lcea of being killed by the bright luminary whose rays had all his llfo given him light and warmth. He kuew that cyen In the large cities of Mexico what was called the nlidc'ay gun was fired in this ingenious fashion during tho dry season. For six months In the tear there was never a cloud In the sky, and the" action of the lense was at sure as fate Itself. The guard paced up and down his beat, and Pierro was left to his meditations. Ho struggled until his ftrength was gone, trying to loosen his bonds, bu". it was quite useless. His head fell upon his breast, and he closed his eyes. But ho could not keep them closed, and ho again looked around the square. All of tho soldiers were march ing oil witli the exception of ono company. It was evident that the French were not supposed to bn In tho neighborhood. "Stianger things havo happened," said Pierre ; "I may yet be rescued." Ills u.tcs turned upward and he saw that the sun was almost directly over head. Hu glanced down the gun to the prim ing, and it seemed to him that ho could hear the fizzing noise of the powder. The sun was intensely hot, and this In spired terror. , "Saints above I" groaned the poor wrstch. 'On such a day as this the gun will go oil ahead of time I" Wiiat did it matter? A few minutes would not save him. The glass shout) with an Infernal brilliancy, and not a speck of cloud was lo be seen. "If I ever do get out of this," grunted Pierre. He did not say what ho would do. There was no use in making any promises. Higher and higher In the heavens moved the Darning orb. Surely It was noon. The half fainting prisoner held his breAth. Tho muscles of his face twitched nervous ly, and his eyes were fixed with an Intense stare upon the other end of the gun. Like the echo of an echo came a familiar sound wafted upon the mountain breezes. "God!" gasped the miserable man through his pallid Hps. Was It a bugle? Even If It was it was too late. If relief came It would have to be at one,-. Louder, clearer, sounded the triumphant note, giving forth the sweetest ring that the listener ever heard. He threw his head back, aud the light of hope and courage danced in his eyes. "Thutlevlll" he shouted, "whether I am saved or not, these yellow dogs will soon bite the dust!" The Mexicans heard the French bmlcs, and in another moment Qulnquambo was In a tumult of disorder. But the defenders of the town, weakened by the departuic of their comrades in the morning, were unable to cope with any thing like a stron; force, and no sooner did the Fiench dash through tho outposts than the Mexicans fled to the woods, fully halt of lliciu being shot down before they reached shelter.

Minneapolis girls average better than its editors. One of them (a girl, not an edi tor) was out with a young man tho other evening, and when he nut his hand in his pocket to pay for tho Ice cream they had eaten, she saw by tho expression of his face that ho had forgotten his money. She let him hunt a moment, and then, with a rare Dresencs of mind, handed hlni her omu pretty purse, saying: "How stupid of mc. I declare.

Down on the Capo In a time now well gone by, Benjamin U was a prominent man, wealthy, and foremost in a good many enterprises. Old Mr. C was thrifty, like most of tho Capn people, with a high regard for the almighty dollar. He had a lively, freckled-laced, athletic grand son, as agile as a. squirrel, who was named for him Benjamin C. D , since a man of a good deal of prominence on his own account, and who lived wl h Mm. The old gentleman's barn, a a good many other old places have done, became tsrriUy In feslcd with rats. The old gentleman was so greatly aanoyod that he offered tho boy fifti cents apiece for all the rats lie would catch and show to him alive, on the prom isesa precaution to prevent sharp practice on the part of tho youth. After two or three days 'little Benjamin came to old Ben jamin and asked him to stop out Into the barn. He did so, aud was conducted to a large disused molasses barrel that stood In tho middle of the barn floor, and aikd to look into It. And there, on tin bottom, was a wriggling mass of rats three ir four deep, struggling vainly to got nut of the barrel. 'My gurry!" sxclalmed the old tnt!- man, "whore'U you get all these rats?" "Caught 'em here In the barn, gran'tlr." "How many be they?" "Eighty. That's just MO, gvan'slr." "Forty dollars! Why, I ain't goln' lo pay you all that money." "Ain't you? didn't you agro to, gian'- sir?" "Well, yes, hut I hadn't no Idee when I did that yon'd catch such a tarnation lot." The boy looked up. There was a rep dangling down from the beam above that was used to help in climbing up to tho hay- loft. Benny pulled himself up hand ovr hand on this rope until he hung suspended oyer the barrel. "Ain't you goln' to give me that $10 you agreed to, gran'slr?" said the boy. "Never!" said the old man, looking oyr again Into the barrel with Its squirming mass of rats. "Well then, here goes!" said the boy. With a lively kick of his foot he upset the barrel in the direction of his grand father. The multitude of rats poured out around the old man's feet. He leaned wildly up and down In terror, and sprang through the mass. to a ladder that stood near. Then be ran up the ladder with an agility that he had not equaled for fifty years. Aud the rU resumed possesion of the premises. THE? BOTH FLT INJURED SOMEHOW. A curious and amusing Incident occurred yesterday on Clay-st, Hill, between Stock ton and Powell stects. An elderly gentle man, whose aldermanlc girth and florid countenance bespoke a love for the good things of this life, was tolling slowly up the ascent. The day was rather warm, and the exertion caused the old gentleman to perspire freely, lie had got at least a quarUrofa block up the hill when a Chinese appeared at the comer of Prospect place wheeling ono of Falcbank's patent scales before him. As Ill-luck would have It, he had just rounded the comer, when he placed his foot on a banana peel, slipped and tell to the earth, letting the machine go as he fell. The scales started down hill. The elderly gentleman startled by the tumbling noise, looked up and forts moment was paralyzed with terror. The maclilue was coming., straight for him. Then ho tried to dodge It. He jumped to tho edge of the sidewalk. The machine jumped too. He skipped to the wall and so did the scales. Back he went, but his foe still headed off. He jumped and skip ped nnd panted and perspired, but never once thought of getting off the sidewalk into the middle of the street. The ma chine was almost upon him. His hat fell off. The few straggling hairs which orna mented the old gentleman's scalp stood straight up and every pore proved n foun tain of perspiration. Nearer and nuarer came the macblue. Hal he would run for it. IId turned, but alas! too late. The deadly niachtno caught him about the ankles, Up went his feet, and tlio old gentleman made the acquaintance a post eriori nf the rapidly moving scales. Down the hill they went together, the old gentle man's arms whirling like a wind-mil), and the wheels of the machine creaking out uneartlily sounds. Toboggannlug was nothing to it. On Stockton street crossing the came to a full stop. The old gentle man jumped to his feet unhurt and glared around licscely. He received the smiling countenance of innocent heathen, who ex tended his hand with a smile of chlldllko simplicity, aud said: "Vou allee samo big Mcllcan man. My maShino no made wayee big man same yon. Him blakee two places. Suppose you pajee. me ten dolla for mend linn?" "You scoundrel!" cried tho old gentle man, purple with rage. "How daro you make such a piopositlou? I'll one you for damages, sir. How dare you let that ma chine go? By thunder!" Darner Aw. HE STAKTED A rag-pcddler who was driving up Gratl ot uve. yesterday had reached Hastings street when his horse balked. The usual number of smart Alecks were soon on hand with their advice, and one suggestion after another was tried lu vain. Tho horse could neither be pulled nor pushed, and as he was blockading traffic the crowd began to crow very rapidly. "What Is It?" inqulreil a boy of twelve who pushed his wap into the circle. "Balky horse," answered some one. "Where's the owner? Hcte, you raarH can't you start this horse?" "No, hedoau1 start oop." "Walt a minute." The lad ran up the street half a block and pulled a handfull of hay out of a bale at a feud-store, and when he returned he cleat e J a space in front of the horse, stood off about five feet, and extended his band. The horse pricked up bis ears, his eyes glistened, aud he at ouce advanced and followed the boy around tho corner. "It's according to the boss," explained the boy as the crowd cheered. "When a hay-fed horse balks he wants fire-crackers under him; when a boss who is fed on scrap-Iron and gravel-root bilks, if pinch of hay will lead him all over town.
