Tlu llrFt pranie I won right off, though

dono no more. lit the second I never
played better mid saved u trick by a
iincsse, but the Hart vuled me once,
niMiked the kins, and ran out In the
S'.voiid hand. My faith, we wore so ex
cited that he laid his helmet down be
Klile him. and 1 my busby.

And thou licKiin (same of garnets.
Oh, he played, this Kim'llshmaii; he
played in a, way that was worthy of
aurh. a stake. Hut 1 my I'liciids, I was
superb! Of the live which 1 had to

rascals. On the? second I turned the
kin;;, but lust two tricks, and my score
Was four to two. When I saw my next
had I could not but give a cry of de
light. If I cannot gain my freedom on
this, thought I, I deserve to remain
forever In chains.
Give me the cards, landlord, and
I will lay them on the table for you.
Here was my hand knave and ace of
clubs, queen and knave of diamonds
ind kings of hearts. Clubs are trumps,
mark you. and I had but one point be
tween ma and freedom. He knew
that it was the crisis, and he un
did his tunic. I threw my dolman on
ground. He led the ten of spades. I
took It with my ace of trunius. Una
point In my favor. Tlu correct play
was to clear the trumps, and I led the
knave. Down came tne queen upon It,
and the same was equal. He led the
fight of ttpades, and I could only dis
card my ace of diamonds. Then came
the seven of spades, and the hair fairly
ptood straight up on my head. We each
threw down a kins at the finale. He
had won two points, and my beautiful
hand had been mastered by his inferior
one. I could have rolled on the ground
as I thought of It. They used to play
very good ecarte at Watier's In the
year '10. I say It I, Brigadier Gerard.
The last game was now for all. This
next hand must settle It one way or the
other. He undid his sash and I put
away my sword belt. He was cool,
this Englishman, and I tried to be also,
but the perspiration would trickle Into
my eyes. The deal lay with him and I
may confess to you, my friends, that my
hand shook so that I could hardly pick
lay cards from the rock. But when I

raised them what was the first thing
that my eyes rested upon? It was the
king, the king, the glorious king of
trumps. My mouth was open to de
clare It when the words were frozen to
my lips by the appearance of my com
rade. He held his cards In his hand, but
his Jaw had fallen and his eyes
were staring over my shoulder with
the most dreadful expression of con
sternation and surprise. I whisked
round, and I myself was amazed at
what I saw.
Three men were standing quite close
to us fifteen meters at the farthest.
The middle one was of a good height,
and yet not too tall about the same
height In fact that I am myself. He
was clad In a dark uniform with a
small cocked hat and some sort of white
plume upon the side. Hut I had little

will take it willingly, for there
is no bad taste of the oil about
it, and it will not make them
sick.; Soon their appearance
tells the cheering story of re
turning health. They grow
bright, active, plump and hun
gry; they eat anything now.
With babes in arms it is just
the same. Nourishment! That's
the secret of Scott's Emulsion.

thought for his dress. It was his face,
his gaunt cheeks, his beak of a nose,
his masterful blue eyes, his thin llrm
slit of a mouth which made one feel
that this was a wonderful man, a man
of a million. Ills brows v. re tied into a
knot, and he cast such a glance at my
poor Hart from under them that one by
one the cards came fluttering down
from his nerveless lingers. Of the two
other "men, one, who had a face as
brown and as hard as though It had
been carved out of old oak, wore a
bright red coat, while the other, a line
portly man with bushy side whiskers,
was In a blue Jacket with gold facings.
Some little distance behind three order
lies were holding as many horses, while
an escort of lancers were waiting In the
rear.
"Hon, Crawford, what the devil's
this?" asked the thin man.
"IJ' you hear, sir," cried the man with
the red coat. "Lord Wellington wants
to know what this means."
My poor Bart broke Into an account
of all that had occurred, but that rock
face never softened for an Instant.
"Pretty fine, 'pen my word, tleneral
Crawford," he broke in. "The dis
cipline of this force must be main
tained, sir! Report yourself at head
quarters as a prisoner."
It was dreadful to me to see the Bart
mount his horse and ride off with hang
ing head. I could not endure it. I
threw myself before this English gen
eral. I pleaded with him for my
friend. I told him how I, Col. Gerard,
would witness what a dashing young
ollleer he was. Ah, my eloquence
might have melted the hardest heart;
I brought tears to my own eyes, but
none to his. My voice broke and I
could say no more.
"What weight do you put on your
mules, sir. In the French service?" he
asked, Tes, that was all this phlegmatic
Englishman had to answer to these
burning words of mine. That was his
reply to what would have made a
Frenchman .vep upon my shoulder.
"What weigM on a mule?" asked the
man with the red coat.
"Two hundred and ten pounds,"
said I.
"Then you load them deueedly bad
ly," said Lord Wellington. "Remove
the prisoner to the rear."
His lancers closed in upon me, and I
I was driven mad, as I thought that
"Remove the Prisoner to the Rear."
the game had been In my hands nnd
I ought at that moment to be a free
man. I held the cards up In front of
the general.
"See, my lord!" I cried, "I played
for my freedom and I won, for, as you
perceive, I hold the king."
For the first time a slight smile soft
ened his gaunt face.
"On the contrary." said he, as he
mounted his horse, "It was I who won,
for, as you perceive, my king holds
you."
The End.
CASE FOR A COMMISSION.
From the Chicago Tribune.
"What a. lot of humbug there is about
this vermiform appendix business!" ex
claimed Buggies, looking up from the
newspaper he was reading. "The Idea
that everybody is in danger of dying
from getting a grape seed or a bit of
apple skin lodged in a portion of his
anatomy that few persons ever heard
of till a few years ago, Is absurd. It's
a fad. That's what It is."
"What's a fad?" inquired Croxton,
laying aside the magazine he had been
reading. '
"This appendicitis business."
"It's something everybody's remotely
exposed .to. Isn't it?"
"Not by any means. It isn't at all
certain that everybody has got a vermi
form appendix." '
"O, it isn't!"
"Not at all. I don't believe I have
one."
"Well, you have, jut the same. You
are built like other men."
"I don't believe it.,"
"You say you have no vermiform np
pendix?" , ;
"I do, and I'm-willing to bet on it."
"How much?"
"Fifty dolllars."
Croxton reflected a moment.
"I'll go you."
"And leave the matter to a doctor
my doctor, for Instance?'"
"Yes:"', .
"Well, you've lost.. My doctor will
tell you that I 'haven't any. He relieved
me of H by an operation two years
ago.",
"It looks as if you'd put up a neat
little Job on me, doesn't It?" "
"Uaither. But I'll not be hard. I'll
call It a new silk hat and let it go at
that."
"H'm! Tour doctor relieved you of
your vermiform appendix, did he?"
"He did." ,
"And I suppose he preserved it care
fully In a Jur of alcohol?" '
"No, but I did."
"H'm I Got It yet?" .
"Yes."
"Ha! You have?"
"That Is, I er " '
"That's what I suspected. Tour little
scheme isn't exactly the first of its
kind, but there's a way out of It, you
see." '.,'
"But, look here " .
, "Don't try to crawl put of It, Itiirc
gles. You bet me $30 you hadn't any
vermiform appendix, and it seems you
have,. by your, own inm Cession, There
Was nothing stipulated as to where you
kept It. The. horse Isn't on me. It's on
you, Buggies. But I won't be hard on
you. Let it be a flrat-claas canvasback

"Croxton," said Buggies, feebly, "let's
arbitrate."
A Sympathetic King.
Louis I'hlllppe knew that Marshal Poult
clung to power, and that his fall would ba
bitter to him. But when ttiu time carne the
future minister, with Thle-rs at their head,
were assembled at the Tullerles, while In
the next room I.ouls I'hlllppe broke the
news to Soult. The Interview took h long
ii. lie, and the new ministers were not with
out Homo apprehension. Klnully the door
opened Jnsl enopgh to allow the Klng"s
queer pear-ahaped head to pass, and he
whispered: "A little patience, gentlemen;
Just a little patience wo are weeping to
gether." '

TO our patrons:
Wnshburn-Croshy Co, wish to assure their many paU
rons that they will this year hold to their usual custom
of milling STRICTLY OLD WHEAT until the new crop
is fully cured. New wheat is now upon the market, and
owing to the excessively dry weather many millers are
of the opinion that it is already cured, and in proper
condition for milling. Washburn-Crosby Co. will take
no risks, and will allow the new wheat fully three
months to mature before grinding.
This careful attention to every detail of milling has
placed Washburn-Crosby Co.'s flour far above other
brands. .

I believe Bovinine of great
value. I have used it for more
than a year in a very aggra

superior to any other meat

" I also find it keeps in the
