toiuil Hlowly along Uroodwny one fino

" I). c aivse I could ueTer And any woman

eweiTd Tom laughingly.
"No uso to tell mo that, old fellow,"
rejoined Harry. "Glilsnronot so foolish
as to decline taking a good looking man
like you, with plenty of money ; yet hero
you nro, llearly 30 years old, anil nomoro

ago. Now, it it were mo, why, tho caso
is very different. A doctor, just strug

'eligible by tho match making mammas,
to say nothing of their worldly wiso
daughters; but tUy nro n'l ready and
eager to smile upon you, anU you might
as well make your choice. "
"Thank you," answored Tom, still
laughing. "When I 'find a young -lady
who. can come up to thy "grandmother's'
standard of domcstio virtues I 'will in
vite her to becomo Mrs. Thomas Hero-"
dith."
"And what was your grandmother's
peculiar doctrino on Hie subject?" in-,
quired Harry.
"I presume she had more than one,"
Eaid Torn, "bat this she particularly im
pressed upon my mind : 'Always look at
a woman's dish towels,' sho would re
mark with much solemnity. 'No matter
how well sho plays the piano, or sings, or
how many languages sho;ca,n speak, novcr

whou she Wipes disliesl "Be surd that a
girl who uses soiled or "wet dish towels
does not know enough to bo tlio -wifo of
any honest man.'",
Harry laughed "at" 'this definition of
liousowifely knowledge.
''There is considerable truth in tho old
lady's ideas after all," he said, "but I
don't uite understand.'lio'w, in those days
you cai apply the tesf ; most young
ladies that wo kndw, have, perhaps,
never seen a dish tqwcl. Now I think of
it, I piomised to introduce you to my
cousins. Thero are.t .ee of them, all
bright pretty girlsj' though I think it
doubtful whether they would fulfill your
grandmother's requ'.. 'meuts as a wifo.
Still you may Hud, thein pleasant ac
quaintances, and if you likd I will go
there with you now. "
"Aprced," icsp-ildcd,Tom,-and the two
friends soon found .theirisBlves in the par
lor of Mrs. Iteushaw, Harry's aunt.
The Voung ladies were all at home, and ,
as Harry had said, were bright, pretty
girls. Ida, tho eldest, was a tall, queenly -brunette,
though sho had a powerful rival
in Allele, 'the second daughter, wluise
delicate bjondo beauty'slibwod to frsh
advantage beside her m?re brilliant sis
tor. The two were acknowledged belles
in their own circle, nnd fow who know
them u r paused togivo a second glance
at the',- youngest sister little Violet.
She wad not present whon Harry and his
friend' entered; but: vViietl her coasin,.
with whom shejsoemed a great favorite,
asked Wpressly for her, Mtsa'Adele care
lofcsly desired tlio servant to call her.
Tom, who was conversing -with Ida, 'did
not notice her cutrauco till aronsod by
Harry's voico saying :
Mr. Meredith, let me mlroduco you to
my cousin, Miss'Vislet Honshaw. "
And turning quljkly ho was surprised
at the Bight ot theTliny creature, so un
like her elder sisters. There was nothiuj:
magnificent nnd little' that could 1m
strictly termed beautiful in the nlmov5
childish figure', but,, soriiething indescrib
ably winning in tho clear gray eyes, ami
in tho rich chestnut curls that clustoml
about tho broad, low brow.
"Well, what do you think of my t''iT
cousins?" was Harry's natural quest-ir
when he and Tom wore", once moro in th
street.
I cau only bxiirosts my admiration bv
saying that I wish it wero possible to
divide myself into throo separate and dis

of tho fair enslavers a haud and heart,"
replied Tom with much solemnity.

"Can not you allow me to assist you?"
asked Tom politely. "I was brought up
on a farm, and have often washed dishes
nnd made myself generally useful about
the kitchen."
"You!" exclaimed Adele, in such nn
astonished tofio that Tom could not for
bear laughing.
"Yes, certainly; why not?" ho inquired.
Oh, I don't know only I thought
you never did anything," stammered
Adele ; then endeavoring to seem at ease,
sho said luirriedly, "Yes. if you wlUheln.

Tom seized tho kettle, and throwing

crossing- the room, toward tho stove, when
his progress was arrested by tho sudden

in blank astonishment.
A heavy frown tok'the place of tho

his IntruslOn'aS ho deposited his burden
on tho stove and turned to retrace his
steps, just as Vifilot entered from tho

addressing Ida, said :

The sailor, Joseph Jorgenson, ranawr.
from a British nmn of war anohored i :
the haiborcf British Columbia, and mnd
lits wny to Washington, wherohe took up
a quarter section of Government land.
One morning ho began clearing a spot
whereon to build a house. Ho was vigor
ously wielding a spade, whon suddenly
his arm was seized by a cougar's jaws.
Joe was very strong, and by n kick in
the stomach he forced the beast to fall to
tlio ground, Thecougnr sprang at tho
man's throat. With his left arm Joo
'warded off its jaws, while with his right
Jiedfenlt it a blow in tho ribs that again
felted it to tho ground.
Quick as a flash the lieast seized Joe s
'left riand. W"lth his right fist and heavy
boots Joe beat and kicked the animal
until it releAsed his hand. Retreating a
short distance, it sprang on his breast
and knocked him against a tree. Again
lie cuffed and kicked it until it let go nnd
retreated.
Joe then happened to see the spade he
had been using, lying at his feet. Ho
snatched it, and warded off tho cougar's
spring by a timely thrust. The brute fell
at the man's feet, but instantly rose and
seized him by the thigh. Concentrating
his strength Joe drove the sharp blade of
the spade into the beast's head, and it fell
dead at his feet.
Bitten and scratched, the blood stream
ing from a dozen wounds, he reeled home.
It was many weeks beforo he recovered,
and when he grow strong he had lost all
desire for farming. He shipped on an
American coaster as a sailor, saying that
he had less fear of the Bharks than of tho

NAPOLEON'S VERSION
THE GREAT SOLDIER'S VERSION n
HOVV WATERLOO WAS LOST.
A Hitherto Unpublished Paper Ttie
'Preinnture CAvalrjr Clmrge French
Sncceie, Until lite Young Mtiat-tl Wat
UeMen Book. Then All Win r.ott.
Tho London Globe asserts tlrat an re
count of the battle of Waterloo, given by
Napoleon himself, which has never bwi
published, is soon to appear.
The Globe prints the following ex
tracts: After detailing the preparations for the
battle, Napoleon says : . "Tlio canuonado
commenced! the enemy supported tlio
troops ho had advanced to guard tho
wood by 30 pieces of cannon. Wo, on
our side, also posted some artillery. At
ono time Prince Jeromo became master
of tho whole wood, and the whole Eng
lish army retired behind a ridge. Tlio
Count d'Krlon then attacked tho village
of Mont Saint Jean; ho supported his
attack with 80 pieces of cannon. Ho
commenced thero an overpowering can
nonade,which must have greatly harassed
the English army. The action took place
on tho plain. A brigado of Count
d'Erlon's 1st division took possession of tho
vitiligo of Mont Saint Jean; a second bri
gade was charged by a corps of English
cavalry, which ihllictcd ou it great losr.
At the saiiio moment a division of Eng
lish cavnlry charged Count d'Erlon'.T
battery on its right and dlsmouule 1
cbveral gnus; but General Melhnud's
cui.ussieio charged Uiis division, of which
Uitvo legimetilj wero routed nnd fled. "
Iu tlio afternoon the Prussian division
iccnmo cngnged with Count Lnbou's
skirmishers, and tho wholo strength of
the reserve was held ready to assi3t
Count Labou and crush tho Trusnian
corps when it should ndvAnce, Ho con
tinues: "This dono, the emperor in
tended to niako an attack iu the direction
of tho village of Mout Saint Jean, which
it was expected would prove a decisive
blow, but by a movement of impatience,
co frequent in our military annals, and
which has so often-been disastrous to us,
the cavalry in reserve, perceiving a retro
grade movement of the English to placo
themselves under shelter from our bat
teries, from which they liad already suf
fered so. much, crowned the heights of
Mont Saint Jean and charged tho in
fantry. This movement, made at tho
right moment, and backed by the re
serves, ought to havo decided the day ;
mado separately, and before the opera
tions on tho right wero completed, it
proved fatal. Having no means to coun
termand it, the enemy showing largo
masses of infantry nnd of cavalry, and
tho two divisions of cuirassiers being en
gaged, the wholo of our cavalry started
at the saino moment to support their
comrades.
"There during three hours they mado
numerous charges, by which wo gamed
tho breaking of several squares and six
flags of the British infantry, an advan
tage hardly commensurate with tho losses
sustained by our cavalry from grapeshot
and musketry. It was impossible to use
our reserves of infantry until the attack
jf tho Prussian corps on our Hank was
repulsed. This attack still continued, and
directly on our right flank. Theemperor
sent thero General Duchesne, with tho
Young Guard and several reserve batter
ies. Tho enemy was checked, was re
pulsed, aud retreated; ho had exhausted
his forces, nnd there was nothing fur
ther to fear from Iiim. This was the mo
ment suitablo for an attack on tho cen
ter of the enemy. As the cuirassiers
wero suffering from musketry fire, four
battalions of tho Youug Guard wero sent
to support the cuirassiers, to aid their po
sition, and if it wero possible to disen
gage aud withdraw a part of our cavalry
to tho plain. - Two other battalions wero
sent to hold the eminence on theextremo
left of tho division which had maneu
vered on our flanks in order that thero
might be no cause for uneasiness in this
direction ; 'the rest wero placed in re
serve, one part to occupy the cminenco
in lear of Mont Saint Jean, tho other on
the plain behind Ilia field of battle, which
oiniod our line of retreat.

It was thus Boris Mirskow amazed m
yesterday by relating in the coolest, most
nonchalant manner the stmugo end of
Ills flirtation with the Princess de Z- .
Now this handsome blonde B01 is is a
delightful comrade, charming, suave,
with the doll baby fauo of a woman, tlio
last ono in tlip woild I would ever im
agine such a wild, extraordinary ad
venture could happen to. It mnkes me
ehudder to think of it.
"You knew the Prince de Z ," ho
said; "nt least you knew him by reputa
tion. A cripple from birth, nailed to his
chair, he had but one ponton Iu life
gambling. His feeblp hands bail liorely
strength sulllciuiit to hold mid shuffle the
cards. In return, his head was extremely
cool, his intelligence more than ordi
narily clear. Noonoknow better than ho
tho combinations of ccarte. He was
called tho Moltke of gamblers.
"As to tho Princess, what Parisian does
not know her nnd her history? When I
was taken into her favor they said I was
tho 20tli, only counting tho distinguished
ones.
"The Princn took everything in tho
most philosophical manner. He mado a
point of seeing nothing. "
"If tho Prince was tho Vol 1 Moltke of
ccarte, tho Princess was tho Kobeit Hon
din of coquetry.
"The Princess has a favorite maid, a
Tzigane, as dovoted as n t-imo panther,
but, alas, n cruel panther stilt.
"One evening as this gill was showing
mo to the boudoir of hot mistress, ahu
said (I know not why), 'I love you.' J.
burst out laughing. Sho repeated, 'I
love you, and have loved you a loug time.
II am determined you shall not seo the
Princess any moro.
"In spite of her sharp accents aud tho
cavago light in her yellow eyes. I could
only see her ugly, tawny face, and laughed
1 joro and more, gently repulsing her.
"'You will not listen to me?" she said,
clinging to my arm and kissins inv Imnd.
"As I laughed still more, she hii I .euly
raised up, grinding her teeth, and eaid in
a low, determined tone, as she -threw
open tho door of tho boudoir, 'You wi.l
repent this, monsieur.'
"Au hour later as I was sitting befitlo
tho Princess iu a grand divan, coveted
with blue fox, we heard a great clamor
iu the anteroom which precedcu tho
boudoir. 'It is tho voice of the Prince.
Can it bo possiblo?' said the Princess.
Yes, it was tho voico of tho Piinco, ex
claiming in sharp tones: 'Come, put mi
down ; you aro mad ; you mako mo ,ill.
Put me down, I tell you.'
"Other voices wero heard, a confused'
noiso of cries and approaching footsteps,
but abovo all this buzzing uproar could
be heard tho furious falsetto- of the
screeching Tzigano: 'You shall toe.
Every body shall soe. Don't daro to touch
1110, not one of you. If you do, I will
strangle him. Quick, open tho door.'
"The door was violently thrown open.
About a dozen people cnterod the room,
friends of tlio family and domestics,
Tzigane in tho midst of them carrying
tlio Prince In her arms liko a puny child.
I understood all. In her fit of rage, with
the violence of a tempest whirling a
broken loaf, she hod brought the Prince
here by main force, and, throwing him
on tho floor, howled, 'Now see for your
self. Say, do you seo?'
"'Seize her,' said tho Prince, 'and nond
hor to the mines.'
"'What does that matter?' sho cried,
lidding her wrists for tho monaclos.
What do I care, now that I am re
venged?' Then turning to me, sho
added : 'I told you I would never allow
ydu to see the Princess again.'
"They raised the Prince and placed
him in an arm chair. He ordered evory
oue to lcavo the room except two friends
ho begged to remain, then turning to me
he said :
"'I could kill you, Monsieur, ns I have
tho right to do. But I do not wish to
punish you in that way. I domand
loparation by arms.'
"I had a desire to laugh. A duel with
that poor cripple? and what kind of u
duel, as he could hold neither sword not
pistol in his feeble hands.
"The Princo understood my thoughts,
and replied : 'Do you think me mad or
more generous than I am. Tho duel T
offer you is very possiblo, as you will
see.' Touching a bell a servant entered.
"'Go and bring me a pack of cards
from the salon,' he said.
"When the cards were brought and tho
arm chair of the Prince had been drawn
up to the table, he motioned me to a seat,
and with a calm, almost affable air, said :
'We aro now going to play a game of
cards, Monsieur, and tho one who loses
shall kill himself beforo 13 o'clock to
morrow. Do you accept, mon cher?"
" 'I accept What ganio shall we pley?
'Ecarte, if you please.' 'So be it. 1'of
how many points?' 'Five.'
"The game commenced, witnessed by
tho two friends and the Princess, who
drew near, drawn in s-'ite of herself by
the singularity of this strauge dual.
"The Prince was my master, that was
plainly to be seen, but chance favored me
in the most surprising way. Soon, wo
were 4 to i. "
"Parbleu," said I to Boris, "no need tft
finish your story. I can gusts it; as you
are here the Priuue lost."
"Not at all ; the Prinoe won. "
"But, how "
"Hold, read this, which I received n
quarter of an hour after the gaum uh I
was examining the chambers of my re
volver. "
He handed me an ace of hearts, upon
which the Prince had written :
