. t TIIE SCR ANTON TRIBUNE-TUESDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 24, 189. THE HOUSE ON TflE WALL . BY STANLEY J. WEYA1AN. Author of "Under the KcJ Robs," "A Gentleman ol France," Etc (Copyright IR by PART I. In the summer of 17rt, two years after the Bi'i'oml battle of Hochsetett. which Kntrlishmen tall l'.Unheiin. In u world rliiirinc w ith the names of .Marl l.uroiitli anil Kuscne. Liiuls of ltailen and Villars, Vileroy the Incapable and Huuf'.les tho lira vi iv world, tor us. of dark chaos luridly lit by Humes of burning hamlets, and galoped through by huge troo'iers weurinir periwigs and high boot, and lstuls two feet Ions in the barrel one of the Austrian cap tains pat down before the frontier town of Huynminle in Spanish Flanders, und prepared to take It. Whereat lltiyivwntle was not too greatly moved. A warm town of fat burghers and narrow streets, nnd oak wainscots thnt winked in the llietight. nnd burnished flagons that caught the drinker's smile. It was not to lje lightly excited; and it had been besieged henv ; en only knows how many times before. Men made ready ns for a Ions frost: took count of. wine and provisions, and "HOW PATJR TOT' COME TIERK TO MAKE MISCHIEF?" hid a portion of enrh under the cellar Hour; thanked Und that they were not the cniKiscm and that times were changed since the Thirty Years' 'War; nnd, in short, fell very easily into an Idle life flocked with bubbles of excite ment. When the Austrian guns rum bled without, und the smoke eddied Flnwlv over the walls, they stood in the streets, their hands in their muffs, and gossiped not unpleasantly; when the cannons were silent, they smoked their long pines on the ramparts, nnd meas ured the ndvanee of the trenches, and listened while the oldest Inhabitant prosed of the sack by Spinola in '-1 and the winter siege of "41. Whether the good townsfolk wore ns brave in private when at home with their wives, for instance may be doubled; but this for certain the burgo master's trouble lay all with the wo men. Whether thw had less faith in the great Louis who, indeed, seemed In these days less superior to a world In arms than In the dawn of his glory or whether they fminil the oldest in habitant's tales too precisely to the point, they had a way of growing rest ive once a week, beseiging the good liurgomaster's Ynnise and demanding with n thousand shrill and voluble ton gues Immediate surrender on terms. Hot ween whiles, being busy with seruh l,i In sr and baking and washing their children, they were iptiet enough, lint ns surely as Sunday came round, and with It a clean house and leisure to rhat with the neighbors, the burgomas ter's hour came too, and with it a moll of women shaking crooked lingers nt Mm, ami deafening him with their abuse, lie began though a bold man to dream nt ni::ht of l)e Witt nnd his fate; and from a stout and pom pous burgher, dwindled in six weeks to a b an and morose old tyrant. Withal he had no choice, for at his shoulder lurked the French commandant, a res olute man with a crim wit of his own nnd a net curtain between the Stadt haus bastion nnd the bastion of the Itronze House, and very handy to the funnel whereat he shot deserters and the like on the smallest iretext. Still the V.ursomaster, as he wiped his sallow face, and watched the last nf.the women withdraw on the seventh Kunday of the siege, began to think that, rather than pass through this ngain, In- would face even ih curtain nnd a volley. The ordeal had been more severe than usual; his cheek still twitched, and he leaned against his of ficial table to belle his trembling knees, lie had been settling a change of bil lots, when the viragos broke in on him, nnd only his clerk had been present; for his council nnd this rub he felt sorely much bullied In old days, were ti eating hhn to solitude now nnd the monopoly of the burden. His clerk wus still with him, but affected to be busy with the papers on the table perhaps he was scared, too, and equally bent on hiding It; so It was the burgomaster himself who first discovered that they were not in fact alone hut that one woman still lingered. She sat in a cr.rner of the oak seat that ran round the paneled room; and the stained glass of the windows, blnzoned with the arms of Iluymonde and the Counts of Flanders, cast a veil of tawny lights between her and the gazer, a veil be hind which she seemed .to lurk. The liurgomaster started, then remembered that the danger was over for the time, and In a harsh voice bada her fellow her mates. "liegdne, wench," he said. "And go to your prayers! That Is women'" work. Leave these thinss to men.': This woman rose. "When men," she answered, in a strident voice nt which the F.urgomaster started afresh, "hide themselves. It Is time women stood for ward. Where is your son?1, tThe Burgomaster swore. "Where Is your son?" the woman re peated firmly. The Burgomaster sworo again, his sallow face grown purple; then looked at his clerk and signed to him to go. The clerk went wondering nnd gaping for this was unusuul and left the two together. Then the Burgomaster fnund his voice. "You' Jezebel!" he cried, pas sionately, approaching the woman. "How dare you come here to make mis chief? How dare you lay your tongue to my son's name? Do you know, shameless one, that If I were to" l!ut at that the woman caught fire, blazed up and fairly outdid him In rage. She was middle-aged and spare, with a face naturally pale and refined, and an air of pride thnt peered even through the neat poverty of her dress. Hut at that word she shook her hands In his facp, and her eyes blazed "Shameless?" she retorted. "No. but shameful, and through whom? Through your son, you villain, your craven of a son, who hides now! Through your base-born tradesman of a son.who dare fare neither woman nor mnn " "Silence!" the Burgomaster cried. She broke off, but only to throw her whole- soul Into one breathless cry. "Will he marry her?" she panted; and she held out her hands to him. palm uppermost. "Will he marry her?" "No!" the Burgomaster answered, grimly. She tlung up her hands. "Then be ware!" she cried, wildly, and for the first time raised her voice. "Beware! You and yours have brought us to shame, but the end Is not yet. The end Is not yet. You do not know us." At that, however, he rallied himself. Stanley J. Woyraaa.) "I may not know you yet." he said, hnrdly, and. Indeed, brutally, "but I know this. That such things as thes come, woman, of people setting them selves up ta be better than their neigh bors when they are as poor as cnurch mice! They conn- of slighting honest fellows nnd setting caps nt those nmve you! Your daughtei or you, woman, if you like it better set the trap, and you are caught In it yourselves! That's all." "You wretch!" she gasped. "And he will not marry her?" "Xot while I live," fte answered, firmly. "And that Is your last word?" "It is." he said. He was on his guard, prepared to de fend himself against her violence. But after a tense pause of suspense, during every moment of which he expected her to fall upon him, she snld only: "Where is he'.'" "I shnll not .tell you," he answered. "And that is all?" "That is all." It wns not their first Interview. She had plead with him before, had knelt and wept nnd abased herself before him, hml done all that the love that tore her heartstrings, the love that made It so much more ditlicult to see her child sutler than to sutler herself, the love that evt-ry moment painted the bare room nt home nnd her daughter pros trate there In shame and despair she had done all that even that love -"old suggest. There was no room here for fuither pleading; and she had threat ened and failed. What then remained to lie done? Nothing, the Burgomaster thought, ns In a Hush of triumph and relief he watched her go, outfaced and defeated. Nothing; nnd he hugged himself on the prudence that had dispatched his son out of the way In time, and rendered a match with that proud paupir brat Im possible. Nothing; but to the woman, as she went, It seemed that everything, everything, was yet to be done. As she left the little square ami plunged Into the narrow street that led to her House on the Wall, the story of her life in Hiiymonde spread itself before her in a string of scenes that now now alas, but never before seemed to find their natural sequence In this tragedy. Nine years before she had come to Iluymonde with her artist hurhnnd: but the groat art of the sixteenth and seventeenth centurieB was dying or dead in Flanders, and with It the ar tistic sense and the honor once paid to It. Iluymonde made Delft still, and pottery; but on old conventional lines. In endless repetition of old formal pat terns, with no touch of genius or ap preciation. Trade, nnd a desire to win the llorid ease, the sleek comfort, of the burgher, possessed the town wholly. The artist had found himself a stran ger in a strange land; had struggled on, despising and despised. In the quaint house on the wall, nt which he had snatched, on his tirst coming, be cause it looked over the open country; and there after seven years had died, scarcely bettor known, and no whit more highly appreciated, than on the day of his arrival. After that the story wns of two wc men living sola cum sola, one wholly for the other; suspected, if not disliked, by their neighbors, nnd for their part alien in nil their thoughts and stand aids, since the artist's widow could not forget that he had been I'eter Paul's favorite lill'ill, or that her father bad counted quartering!). Sola cum sola, until one? day the war began, and, Huymondi? setting Itself to look to Its defenses, a young man appeared one certain evening to Inspect the House on the Wall, and see that the window which looked out over the country was safely and properly built up and el lengthened. "You must have a sergeant and gunrd billeted here!" was his first sharp word; and the widow had sighed at this Invasion, of their privacy which was also their poverty. But the young girl standing sideways; in that very win dow, had routed her red lips and frowned on the intruder, nnd the ser geant had not come. Bistead, the young man had returned, nt tirst week ly, then nt shorter Intervals, to see that the window defenses remained Intact; with his appearance life In the House on the Wall had become a different thing. He was the son of the Burgo master of the town, he would be the richest mnn in the town, his wife might repay with interest to advantage the dull bovino scorn to which the city dames had treated her mother. The widow permitted herself to hope. Her child was bountiful with the creamy fairness of fiuelders, and as pure us the sky. The young man was gay and luiudsomc; and doubtless these quuli- SHE PATTSm IX TITR DARKKXINO STKEHT.AS SHE THOUGHT OF IT. ties made thrlr due Impression on the elder woman's heart, long unfamiliar with them. So, for more than a year he had had the run of the house, been one of the fnmily, and then one day had disappeared, and then one other day Oh. Ood of vengeance! She paused In the darkening street, as she thought of It. Beside her a long low window, wnrmly curtained, let out a stream of ruddy light. From the opposite house Issued cheery voices and tinkling laughter. And before and behind, which ever way she looked, firelight flashed through diamond panes, or glowed on the heart of green bottle glass. Out In the street men should ered past her, talking blithely, and In distant kitchens cups clinked and ware clattered, nnd every house every house from garret to parlor seemed to her a home happy and gleeful. A home: and her home? She stood at the thought nnd cursed them; cursed them, and like the echo of her whis pered words the solemn boom of a can non lloated over tiie town. To be Continued.

The movements were ex tremely erratic throughout the session and speculation was without a decis ive tone beln under control of the room traders. Sufficient buying orders were placed in various parts of the list to bring about a rise of to Ti per cent, right ut the start. The improvement however was short lived. The leading stocks yielded to IVi per cent, with the Grangers in the lend. St. Paul fell from 78 '4 to 73; ltock Island from 70 to fiS'i; Burlington from 79 to. 78; Sugar from 117-Ti to 116TA; Manhattan from i"',i to 95 ; Leather l'ref erred from 6CI3 to G.1 nnd Chicago Gas from 76 to ".Vi. The losses In the other prominent shares were merely frac tional. In the late trading Sugar was run up to 117 on the smaller shorts nnd there was a rally otherwise of Vto per cent., speculation closing dull and llrm In tone. Net changes chow advances of iff per cent. Total sales were 163.5GJ shares. Scrniitoii Board of Trade Exchange tuotatiou-All Quotation Based on I'nrof 100, Name. Bid. Asked.

FAMOUS CREOLE WOMEN DEAD. A n Child She Placed n Laurel Wreath on lien. Jackson's II row. New Orleans. Nov. 23. One of the most picturesque characters in New Orleans passed away a few days ago In the person of Dame Veuve (widow) Marie Madeleine Zoe Cruiat Pey chaud, "Tante SSoe,'' as she was known to the entire creole population of New Orleans. Jlme. Peychaud was 93 years of agre. She hud figured so conspicuously from her very childhood In the society and history of New Orleans, and her mem ory was so bright, that she seemed far older than the century. She was of the beft Creole stock, a granddaugh ter of that Chevalier Chalmette (Chai nlet te de Lino) upon whose plantation the battle of New Orleans was fought, which Louisiana folks always called the battle of Chalmette, and the daughter of that Senor Cruzat who was governor of all the vast Missouri territory of Spain which stretched from the Mis sissippi to the Pacific. When, after the victory of New Orleans, he popu lation of that city, with the Uallio love for display, welcomed General Jackson with pomp and ceremony In the Place d' Amies, now Jackson it wns little Zoe Cruzat, then a girl of 12, dressed In white, with gay red nnd blue ribbons, and representing Louisiana, that placed a laurel wreath on the brow of the victorious gen eral. Tante Zoe was but 16 when she mar ried and but 22 when she became a widow, yet she leaves scores of des cendants, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and great-great grandchil dren, behind her. From 1820 almost to the time of her death, Mme. Fey chard remained the idol of the creole world. There was never a sick person In the French quarter whose bedside she did not visit, nor any one In trouble who did not consult her; and her Thursday levees which she kept up until she was 90 were the rendcavous of young and old, for Mme. Peychaud could tell the most delightful stories of old creole days. AGAIN ESCAPES A DEATH TRAP. Second Narrow Call Tor a Guard in the Columbus I'cnitcutinry. Columbus, Ohio, Nov. 23. John Queen, a guard in the penitentiary here, last night for the second time narrowly escaped a death trap set for him by prisoners under his I'hnrge. He had just left the seat from which ho watches prisoners working In tlte broomshop when an enormous Iron weight came crashing down upon the place, crusl tnjj, the seat to kindling wood. Samuel i.aw, an embezzler, was the only prisoner at work above, and was punished for It, but he claimed the weight was pushed from Its place by a string on the outside. A month ago a heavy weight was found poised above Queen's desk so nicely that the jostling of the mach inery might topple It down on the gv.ord. The warden waa not able to 1 1 nee this to a prisoner, though he suspected It was part of a plan to murder the guard. Iftho Haby Is Cutting Teeth.
