THE SCRAOTTCT "TBIBtJNllJ SATTTBDAY MOniTOTGr. AUGUST 31,' 1893.
AFTER
By DAVID
topyrig-ht 1894, by
TvTir-ri trie battle of Naceny had been
fought ami lost, I felt that the cause of
my llcpe the kins was lost too. Jlore
than tight hundred of our men were
left dead upon the field, while the num
ber of prisoners exceeded the slain by
five to one; the kins himself had been
fi.rced to flee, whither I knew not;
ami the remnants of his army (of
whom I was one) were scattered across
the country side. After the battle I
had been chased hither and .thither
by flying squadrons of cavalry, but,
always managing to elude their grasp.
I found myself when night came down
nt a little distance from the scene of
the conlllct. The pursuing parties
were rerallcd one by one .and drawing
my horse up to a walk. 1 rode slowly
onward through the Northamptonshire
lanes, wandering I knew not where,
behind me, when I turned In the sad
dle, I could see a score of the enemy's
watch-tires glowing bright against
the dark background, while ever and
anon there came across the still night
nlr the strains of a hymn from the
camp of the Covenanters. I was faint
nnd weary for want of food, for I had
tasted nothing since early morn, nnd
my heart was very heavy for my liege.
Presently I espied, with no small
satisfaction, a bright ray of light is
suing from the trees la front of me.
As 1 approached 1 saw that it proceed
ed from the window of a low-thatched
cottage, which, to a man dejected and
weary In body and mind, was a pleas
ing and most comfortable sight. I
dismounted, and throwing the bridle
over my arm. rapped at the door with
my sword hilt. 1 had occasion to rap
ngaln before It was opened by a wiz
ened obi woman with a kindly face,
but withal n frightened one. in a
trembling voice she Inquired my name
nnd business.
".My name, good dame," I answered,
"is of little conseipience. I am a cap
tain in his majesty's sixth regiment
of horse, and 1 crave food and rest."
"Nay, I pray you. sir, to go away,"
replied the obi crone, whose fear had
become ttv more manifest as I spoke.
Now this I had no mind to do, for
there was proceeding from the inside
of the house a most appetizing odor, as
of ?omo savorv stuff on the st"W, nnd
my stomnch liked til to go away and
leave it.
"Your ifears are groundless, good
dame." said I. In such n tone as I
hoped miuht serve to reassure her. "No
harm will come to you."
Wye. but It will," she croaeked. "The
rebels ore encamped not a league

away. 1 dare not let ye In. I have
ail the heart, kind sir. but 1 dare not."
"Nay, let him enter, good mother."
sabl a sweet voice behind her. "If
he Is for the king he Is a friend."
The old crone left me standing on
the threshold and turned to speak with
someone inside, who, from the tones
of the voice as they came to me
through the doorway, I could tell was
pleading my cause.
"Well, have It as yp will." said the
old creature, at last; ''but ill will come
of It; nrark my word, Ias1e, ill will
come of it!" and she hobbled back to
where I was standing.
"(lood gentleman," she said, holding
the door open, "there Is not much that
1 can offer ye, but to such as It Is ye
are welcome."
I thanked her profusely, and begging
to he allowed to tend first to my horse,
led it off in the direction of an out
house. The poor beast was as spent
us Its master, and sorely in need of
rest. I gave it meal and water, and.
leaving it safely tethered, returned
presently to the cottage.
The old woman, ns I entered, was
bending over a large pot which was
seething on the fire, and from which
proceeded the savory smell I had be
fore noticed, lieside 'her, on a low
wooden stool, was seated a maiden of
such exceeding beauty that, looking at
her, I remembered no longer my hun
ger but only the disorder of my at
tire. She wns dressed in peasant's
costume, but the softness of her skin,
the whiteness of her hands, the grace
of her bearing, all told me It was no
peasant that 1 gazed upon. I made her
a low bow, but J fear it did me but
little credit, for what with the heat
and turmoil of the day, the dust and
stain of battle, my weariness and de
jection, and the surprise at meeting so
fair a creature in such an unlooked
for manner, I was but 111 prepared to
do justice to the manners of a courtier.
She returned my salute with a per
fect grace that put me to shame, but
I fancied I saw a faint sign of amuse
ment In her face which, Indeed, was
not to be wondered at and so I took
out a pocket-comb and small hand
mirror which I carrier! with me, and
going, toward the candle which burnt
upon a table In the center of the room,
endeavored to remedy to some extent
the defects In my appearance, so that
I might present a more fitting spectacle
for a lady's eyes to jraae upon.
The maiden watched me with a smile.
"1 perceive, sir," she said, ''that you
belong to the court?"
The malden(fI5 d thm thm thm thm
1 could not tell whether this was
said in Jest or earnest, but I was loth
to consider It the former, and so an
swered :
"It is true, madam, that I have the
honor and privilege to attend upon his
majesty. May I, In turn, be pardoned
for saying that 1 discern you are not
such as it would seem you desire to
appear?"
She took what I said lif good part,
though shaking her finger playfully as
she replied:
"Nay, sirrah, I am a peasant, as you
perceive."
This I did not believe, nor could I be
wholly sure that she wished to be be
lieved. "But come, mother." the maiden con
tinued, turning to the old crone who
was still stooping over the fire, "your
guest Is surely famished, and that
tew, I trow, is ready to do you credit."
Thus exhorted, the old woman placed
the savory mesa upon the table, accom
panying the action with many apolo
gies for the homeliness of the fare,
which in truth were unneeded, for T set
to with will and-never found king's
banquet more to my taste. Neverthe
less, I was grieved to think that I
should have to bmk my tone fast be

fore the eyes of so fair a maiden, for I
could not but fear thut she would re
gard my prodigious appetite as smack
lug of the most unseemly greed. When
the meal was concluded I begged to be
allowed to seek repose by the side of
my horse in the outhouse, but the old
woman pointed to a ladder which stood
In the corner of the room communicat
ing with a trap-door In the roof above,
"If ye go up there, good gentleman,"
said she, "ye will find a loft where ye
may rest. 'TIs a iMor place, ns ye may
well believe, but litter for a king's olll-

agala to the maiden and started weari
ly to mount the ladder. In the loft
above 1 found a straw 'pallet, upon
which 1 'threw myself down without re
moving so much as my sword, and Was
soon overcome with slumber. I was
awakened, after what seemed bu't a few
minutes, by the sound of men's voices
in the rooms below; and tilled with ap
prehension, I crept quietly to the trap
door and partly raised the lid. I was
ihugely 'taken aback by wha't I saw,
though the tight was but a natural one
in the sad case in which the King's own
loyal men at thut time found them
selves. A lujrly. red-faced sergeant
and it wo troopers, ail dressed In Uhe
rebel uniform, had entered the house
and were cnguged In lively conversa
tion with the old woman who had shown
me kindness.
"I tell ye," she was saying, "there's
none that ye seek 'In here."
"This gives you the lie. old woman,"
said the sergean't; and with a sneer lie
dug his sword into a cloak which I,
with a sad lack of forethought, had left
to lie upon a bench, and held it up on
the point. 'This is no raiment uf a
servant of the Lord."
With a -ry of despair the old dame
shrank hack and covered her wizened
face with her hands. The sergeant took
a step in 'the direction of the ladder, but
the young maiden, who until that mo
ment had remained sealed, rose ma
jestically and barred his way.
"Stay!" she cried. "You have no
right to enter or 'to search this dwell
ing, poor though 1t be. except this old
dame bid you. Wherefore, then, do ye
come? You have conquered In the com
bat, you have killed and captured
many thousands of the King's brave
mn why seek ye more?"
The sergeant gazed upon the indig
nant girl with the most unmistakable
admiration glowing on his fleshy face.
"By my faith," he said, with a smirk,
"a comely damsel! and such a one, it
seems, as the Lord reserves for his own
elect!" And with that he would have
touched her face. But the blood
rushed hot to my cheek at the thought

'Professor Von Kicmsscn, In "Munich",
recently endeavored to And some
means to make his little daughter take
meat Juice. Tho little patient refused
obstinately anything like soup or
meat, and although such nourishment
would hav been of material benefit to
the sufferer, she could not be made
to take either; Ice cream and cold milk
formed her sole nourishment. Finally
her father conceived the Idea of giving
her an Ice cream composed of fresh
meat Juice obtained from tho best
meat, to which he added some brandy,
sugar and vanilla.
An Ice cream made 'of these constitu

agreeable to the little patient, and at
the same time she got the nourish

THE COSTJPF WAR.
Instructive Reckoning of Ono Hundred
' Years of French Wars.
A French physician,, according to Le
Figaro, has compiled eloquent figures
In reply to 4he. question: "What Is the
cost of France's military glory?" In
human lives alone (France has lost the
awful number of fl, 000,000 men within
the last 100 years; the horror of this
loss Is Intensified by. considering that
all the wars of France were offensive
attacks, and -not entered Into for the
defense of their country. The only
exception to this b, perhaps, the first
war of revolutions, the cause of which
must, however, be looked-for In -the
reign of terror of the authorities.
Within the nine years from 1791 to
ISO", S.MHI.OOO soldiers were enlisted, and
2.122.402 men were lost during the wars
on the Meuse, on the Rhine, in the
Alps, In the Pyrenees, in Italy and
Kgypt. The losses of the fifteen years
following this period are solely attrib
uted to the never-satisfied ambition
of Napoleon; of the 3.157,59 recruits
entering the army within these fifteen
years more than 2.oo,uoo lost their
lives. The wars of 1X2:1. 1828 and 1S.12
were less bloody, only on account of
the lesser ' value of France's enemies.
The "Kevanche" for .Moscow attempt
ed by France In the Crimean war was
again very costly In French blood; of
the ,M9,2liS men that had been sent to
the ltlack $ca, 95,tI!i did not return to
their parent country. The "unselfish"
battles of Napoleon III In Ituly In ISM,
when he hoped to get square with Aus
tria, cost France 11S.675 men out of
about D00.000 that had carried the Im
perial eagles Into Italy. The ambi
tious wars of France In China, Cochln
Chlna and Mexico cost one-half of the
armies sent Into these countries.
Their last great war, which was
forced upon united Germany by Napo
leon, cost France 139.000 killed and 1
000 wounded of an army of almost pno
and one-half millions of men,

tly Alphonse Daudct.
I was returning from Nltnes one after
noon In July. The heat was terrible.
As fur as the eye could see the white
burning road wound Its way between
gardens of olive trees nnd dwarf oaks,
under the great Hat silver sun which
tilled all the sky.
There was not a spot of shade, not a
breath of air.
There was nothing but the vibrating
hent nnd the shrill cry of the grass
hoppersa foolish, deafening music to
quick time which seemed the expres
sion of the great luminous vibration. I
hnd been walking In this open desert
two hours when a cluster of whlto
houses nrose suddenly out of tho dusty
road before me. .
It was what Is called the relay of St.
Vincent.
There were five or six houses with
long, low, red-roofed barns; an empty
watering trough in a clump of straggl
ing fig trees, and at the end of the place
stood two large Inns.
One was a large, new building, full of
life and noise, nil the doors were open;
the diligence was standing in front
from which they were unhitching the
steaming horses the passengers were
climbing down to get n hasty drink
In the short shadow thrown by the
walls. The court was filled with mules,
loaded curts and the drivers lying under
the sheds awaiting fresh relays.
From the inside could be henrd cries,
oaths, the pounding of fists on the
tables, the exploding corks of lemonade
bottles, the clinking of glasses, the
noise of billiards, nnd dominating all
this tumult a Joyous, ringing voice,
singing in a manner calculated to make
the glasses tremble.
Thu Inn, opposite, nn the contrary,
was as silent ns if abandoned. Weeds
grew about the entrance, the blinds
were broken, upon tfco door a small
branch of withered holly hung like an
old plume. The doorsteps were propped
up with stones from the road. All was
so poor, so pitiful, that It seemed a
real charity to Btop there for a glass of
something.
I entered. There was a long, de
serted, mournful room, which the
dazzling light from three great cur
tainless windows made more deserted
and mournful still.
Some limping tables, on which were
scattered a few dusty glasses; a yel
low sofa, an old counter, a broken
down billiard table, slept there In a
heavy, deathly heat.
And flies! tiles! Never had I seen so
many; on the celling, In the glasses. In
bunches. When I opened the door there
was a buzzing and agitation of wings
as If I had entered a bee-hive.
At the end of the room. In a window,
a woman stood with a face towards
the glass looking Intently outside
1 called twice:
"He, hostess."
She turned slowly and let me see ft
poor pensant's face, wrinkled, hollow,
of the color of dirt, framed in a scarf of
red lace, such as old women wear In
villages with us. Nevertheless, she was
not an old woman. Tears had faded
her.
"What do you want?" she asked, will
ing her eyes.
"I want to sit down a moment and
have something to drink."
She looked at me very much as
tonished, without moving, as If she had
not understood.
"This is not an Inn, then?"
The woman sighed.
"Yes, it is an Inn If you like but
why have you not gone opposite, like
the others? It is much gayer "
"It Is too gay for me. I prefer to Btay
at your house."
And without waiting her response I
seated myself before a table.
When she was very sure I was speak
ing she began to go and come with a
bustling air, opening drawers, moving
bottles, wiping glnsses, disturbing the
flies one felt that to wait upon this
traveler was an event.
Now and then the unhappy woman
would clasp her hands to her head as
though she despaired of keeping on her
feet.
Then she went Into an adjoining
room. I could hear her there rattling
great keys, turning the locks, fumbling
In the bread box, gasping, dusting,
wnshlng glasses.
From time to time there was a great
sigh, a half-choked sob.
After a quarter of an hour of house
keeping I had before me a plnte of
dried grapes, an old loaf of bread, hard
as slate, and a bottle of wine.
"You are served," said the strange
creature, and she turned quickly to
take her place at the window. While
drinking, 1 tried to make her talk.
"People do not come here often, do
they, my good woman?"
"Oh, no, monsieur; never anyone.
When we had the only Inn here It was
quiet different. We had the stage
coach, game dinners In the wild duck
season and teamsters ' all the year
round. Hut since our neighbors have
come and established themselves we
have lost everybody. People would
rather go to the opposite side. They
find It too dull here. The fact Is the
house Is not pleasant, I am not beauti
ful. I have had fevers and my two
little ones are dead. Over there, on the
contrary, they laugh all the time. It Is
an Arle'ileune who keeps the Inn, a
handsome woman who wears lace and
three strands of gold chain about her
neck. The driver of the diligence Is
her lover. With that there are sev
eral cajoling chambermaids. And then
she has good, steady patronage! She
has all the young people of Heonces,
of Redessan, of Jonquleres. Teamsters
make a detour to pass her door. I I
stay here all day without a customer.
Mhe said this with a preoccupied, In
different voice, continuing to support
her forehead against the window glass.
There was evidently something In the
opposite inn that absorbed her,
All at once there was great excite
ment the other side of the road. The
diligence moved away in the dust. One
could hear the cracks of the whip and
the tooting of the postilion's horn, the
girls standing at the door crying: .
"Adlouslasl Adlouslas!" And all
over the same formidable voice singing
again: N
"La Belle Margoton."'
, On hearing this voice the, hostess
shook from head to foot and turning to
me said: ...
"Do you hear that?" and then quite
low, "That is my husband; doesn't he
sing well?" . .
I looked at her, stupefied. . '.
"What? Tour husband! He goes
over-there, he, too?"
Then with heartbroken but gentle,
softness; , . , . ",
"What; would you have. Monsieur?

From . the Klmira Gazette.
Old age haa many inllrmltics, none of
which are more prevalent than kidney dis
orders, llavo you ever noticed how the
old people complain of backache, lame
back, and general llstlessncss? And there
are many other symptoms of which they
do not speak, such as bloating of the limbs,
painful and infrequent urination or excess
Iveness of the urinary discharge. Most
people think they are too old to find relief
and cure, but this Is not so. No bcttercv
tdenco than the following, which comes
from an Klmira citizen, who has been
cured of a very severe case at 77 years of
age.' Mr. William Thornton, of 127 West
Market street, speaks of his case In this
way: "I am 77 years old. I have been
aflHcted with that drendful complaint
(kidney disease) for over ten years, mak
ing my eld age a burden. I was so bad as
to be forced to carry a belt at all times,
and, when my suffering becamo beyond
endurance, I would put on the belt, draw
ing It tightly around me and buckle It,
thus bringing an extreme pressure over
the kidneys; this, undoubtedly, forced the
urine' out, a funotion which the kidneys
themselves had become too diseased to
perform., My condition I put down to a
strain I received. I began taking Doan's
Kidney Pills. I was much surprised, as
the ailment was so severe and so long
standing, while I had tried many remedies
without any relief whatever. The pain t
have experienced at times from straining
In my efforts to discharge the urine was
simply awful, I have done away with the
um of my leather bait, and the pain has
all gone, and I reoommana Doan's Kidney

M0ur physicians in the children's depart

ence in their outside practice with Castoria,
and although we only hate among our
medical supplies what is known as regulat
products, yet we are free to confess that the
merits of Castoria bos won us to look with
favor upon it.
