THE SCRANTON TBIBUNE-TntTRSDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 13, 189. (These short serial stories are copyrighted by Bacheller, Johnson & Bach elor, and are printed InTheTribune by speclnl arrancement, simultaneous with their appearance In the leading dally Journals of the largo cities). "With your leave," said I. I shall How bind you to a barrel." He made a great fuss over this, but I have learned in' my soldiering never to throw away chances, and how could I tell that he mltfltt not, when my back was turned, see how the matter really cloud and break In upon my plans? He was lenalng against a barrel at the time, so I ran six times around It with a rope and then tied it with a big knot behind. If he wished' to come upstairs he would at least have to earry a thous and litres of good French wine fur a knapsack. I then shut the door of the back cellar behind me, so that he might not hear what was going fur ward, and, tossing the candle away, I ascended the kitchen stair. There were only ubout twenty steps, end yet while I came up them I seemed ft' vm. I Ran Six Times Around It with a Rope. to have time In think of ovi.l'vtVilnir thnt I had ever done and everything that ij ........ 1.... 1 ... .1. T. lUn UU VVl lllll.lt'U lo UU, 11 WilH me Btiiuv; feeling that I had at Kylau when. I 'fay with my broken leg and saw "the horse artillery galloping d'lwiYupon me. Of course I knew tliivt if I we're taken I should be shot Instantly as being dis guised within the enemy's lines. Still, It was a glorious death, In the di rect service of the Emperor, and I re flected that there could not be less than I Led Vlolette five lines, and perhaps seven, In the llonlleur about me. I'alaret had eight lines, and I am sure that he had not so fine a career. When I made my way out Into the Jiall, with nil the nonchalance in my face and manner that I could assume, ithe very first thing that I saw was Hou Vet's dead body, with his knees drawn up and a broken sword in his hand. I could see by the black smudge that he liad been shot at close quarters. I should have wished to salute as I went by, for he was a gallant man, but I feared lest I should be seen, and so I passed on. The front of the hall was full of Prus sian Infantry, who were knocking loop holes In the wall, as though they ex pected that there might yet be another attnek. Their uiricer, a little rat of a man, was running about giving direc tions. They were all too busy to take much notice of me, but another of ficer, who was standing by the door With a long pipe in his mouth, Htrode across and clapped me on the shoulder, pointing to the dead bodies of our poo. hussars and saying something that was meant for a Jest, for his big beard opened and showed every fang, In his head. I laughed heartily, also, and fif.id.the only Itusslnn words that I know. I learned them from Sophy at AVilna, and they meant: "If the night Is fine we Bhall meet under the oak tree, and If It rains we shall meet In the byre." It was all the same to this Ger man, however, and I have no doubt that he gave me credit for saying some thing very witty, indeed, for he roarwl laughing nnd slapped me on my shoulder again. I nodded to him and marched out of the hall door as coolly as If I were the commandant of the garrison. There were a hundred horses tethered about outside, most of them belonging to the Poles and hussars. Good little Vlolette was waiting with the others and she whinnied when she saw me coming toward her. But I would not mount her. No, I was too cunning for that. On the contrary, I chose the moBt shaggy little Cossack horse that I could see, and I sprang upon It- with as much assurance as though, It had belonged to my father before me,, It had a great bag of plunder slung over Its neck, and this I laid upon Vlolette's back and led hef v along beside me. Never have you seen. FUch a picture of the Cossack returning Irom the foray. It was superb. Well, the town was full of Prussians by this time. They lined the sidewalks and pointed me out to each other, say ing, -as, I could Judge byw.the gestures: "There goes one of those devils of Cos sacks. They are the boys for foraging and plunder. '' One of the two officers spoke to ma with an air of authority, !4 71 L TjE MEDAL MICADIER CE RAM by 09Yt 'A: but I shook my head and smiled and said: "If the night Is fine we shall meet under the onk tree, 'but If It rains we shall meet In the byre." At which they shrugged their shoulders and gave the matter up. In this way I worked along until I was beyond the northern outskirt of the town. I could see In the roadway two lancer vedettes, with their He Hud Been Shot at Close (Quarters. black and white pennons, and I knew that when I was once past these I should be a free man once more. I made my pony trot, therefore, Vlolette rubbing her nose against my knee all the time, and looking up at me to ask how she had deserved that his doormat of a creature should be preferred to her. I was nut mure than a hundred yards frum the Uhlans, when suddenly, yuu can Imagine my feelings when I saw a real Cossack coming galloping along the roadway toward me. Ah, my friend, you who read this, If you have any heart, you will feel for a man like me, whp had gone through so many dangers and trials only at this very last moment to be confronted with one which apppearod to put an end to everything. I will confess that for a moment I lost heart and was in clined to throw myself down In my despair. Hut no, I was not beaten even now. I opened two buttons of my tunic, so that I mlght get easily at the emperor's message, for It was my fixed determination, when all hope was gone, to swallow the letter and then . file sword In hand. Then I felt..t-hut my little crooked sword yy-ay loose In Its shea th,. an'd' I trotted on to where the vjfli'ttes were waiting. They seemed i'nellned to stop me, but I pointed to the other Cossack, who was still a couple of hundred yards off, and they, un derstanding that I merely wished to meet him, let me pass with a salute. I dug my spurs Into my pony, then, for if I were only far enough from the lancerc I thought I might manage the Cossack without much difficulty. He was an officer, a large, bearded man, with a gold chevron in his cap just the Along Beside Mc. same as mine. As I advanced he un consciously aided me by pulling up his horse, so that I had a line start of the vedettes. On I came for him, and I could see wonder turning to suspicion in his brown eyes as he looked at me and my pony equipment. I do not know whut It was that was wrong, but he saw something which was not as It should be. He shouted out a question and then, when I gave no answer, he pulled out his sword. 1 was glad In my heart to see him do so, for I had always rathw light than cut down an unsuspecting enemy.

Even Cody and Carver were never call ed poetic, though they looked pictures' que enough to be heroes of romance. Now Crawford, while yet a boy, fought .n the great war, was wounded, and as nn Interesting hospital patient was edu cated by the sisters of mercy. When the war was over he was employed as an Indian scout. i He saw many and varied adventure, and was with General Cook through the Sitting Bull campaign and led the famous charge at Slim Buttes after the Custer massacre. From 1879 to 1881 he was chief of the scouts under Generals Hatch and Buell In the Victoria cam paign, during which over 600 men, women and children were slaughtered by the Indians. THROW IT AWAY.

Wotmi'S lnsi'KN. mjiy MsuiuaIi Association, lluilulo, N. Y. In the early days of New York, one William Wallace, a Scotchman, settled In Staten Island, and amassed a large fortune. He was a bachelor. After some correspondence with his widowed sister in old Scotia, he invited her to go out to him with her family, undertak ing to pay their passage nnd keep and educate her children. She answered, and awaited to hear again; but no pass age money came, no more letters of any kind. Then Bhe had Inquiries made, and found that he had died without making a will. An uncle of the "poet scout" some three years since wont to Scotland to settle the family estate, relying largely on the letters written by Wallace to his sister. Soon after his arrival a little leather trunk containing these precious docu ments was destroyed by fire. He was thus unable to prove his claim to the vast estates of his relative. This uncle returned to America, and promptly dis appeared, and no tidings of him can be obtained: so Captain Jack Crawford, the next kin, has sailed for Scotland to prosecute the inquiry. It Is believed that he has good evidence of his heir ship. , If he has, he may come Into prop erty worth $20,000,000. A VERITABLE CRICIITOX. This Wonderful Ihihv Reads German ond Latin at Two Years Old. The most wonderful case on record Is that of the little sun of a butcher and wife named Poehler In Braunschweig. A few weeks ago the mother took the baby, which Is only 21 months old, to Dr. Berkhan for examination, telling the doctor that the child could read everything at sight. The first thing the boy did to prove his mother's assertion correct was to pick up the doctor's books and read from them correctly, as he turned page after page. The doctor nnd several colleagues examined the child and found that his development, both physical and mental, was normal, aside from a phenomenal amount of memory Impressions, which enabled him to read German and Latin, print and script and also numbers composed of two figures. At the age of 15 months the child manifested unusual Interest In all signboards and bill posters, the show windows of book stores, etc., and demanded an explanation for every thing It saw in this line. It was the same at home with the books and newspapers If found about the house. In this way the babe absorbed an enormous amount of pictures of words, letters and figures. One day, to the great astonishment of his parents, the child pointed to the name of "Otto" In a newspaper which he snatched from his father's hand. From that time on he read nearly everything that came under his eyes. As soon as he sees u book or newspaper In anyone's hands the boy grows rest less and nervous until It Is handed him. When riding In a street car he sends up a disappointed howl If his eyes do not discover the usual street ear advertise ments and placards. This yearning for printed things Is physiologically without explanation, and medical history has not a similar case on record, except that of Dase, the famous mathematician, who gave evi dence of his phenomenal talent in early years. Hut this was all he ever knew. The question Is asked by scientists who have examined little Otto whether he will develop In other directions as strik ingly as he has In this. Fortunately the parents have no Intentions of exhib iting their wonderful offspring for money, and the case Is watched by the medical fraternity with unabated inter est.
