Reminiscence, A gap among the hills, And a white road through the trees; A gap among the hills, And some few memories. Tlie river winding down, And willows bending low; The river winding down, And things of long ago. Frank Leo Plnet.- In Llpplncott's. gTheLacemaKer's! 8 Sacrifice. in In the nue de Lille, Valenciennes, was a little one-story house, half con cealed by a thick growth of Virginian creeper and clematis. From morning to night a young girl might have been seen at the open window 'busily occu pied in making lace. The pretty fea tures of the young worker, aud the al most rhythmical movements of her graceful arms, were quite a picture of loveliness. The bobbins danced In her Angers, flying In one direction to return with redoubled speed, so nlm bly, that she appeared like one of the good fairies we read of In old legends The eyes of the passers-by were raised to this little window with Us curtain of verdure, and more than one heart Bl-ghed at the sight of the beautiful lacemaker; but such sighs found no response. Miss Nooml Verdler waa as good as beautiful, and her modesty and simplicity won universal respect. At thirteen years of age she had been left an orphan with an only brother, a Journeyman cabinet-maker, three years her senior, who thus be ing left alone at the head of the fam ily worked for his sister and himself. At first times were very hard for the brave youth; hardly had he fin ished his apprenticeship when mis fortune arrived. As yet Noeml earn ed nothing, and the young workman's days were not very remunerative. But with good-will, labor and great economy, he succeeded, In spite of all, In enabling his sister to finish her education In Incemaking, and now, In UiIb affectionate association of broth er and sister, It was the latter who contributed the larger share to the maintenance of the home. The rich laces of pure artistic de sign, real masterpieces of delicacy, made by Noeml, were those which won Valenciennes Its fame. All was happiness In the little household. Years glided by until the time for the conscription arrived, and Louis had to accompany the army. The parting wsb bitter for theBe two so deeply at tached to each other. "I shall count the days which sep arate me from your return a long time, alas!" said Noeml. "I also," replied the brother, "until the happy moment of being restored to you." Left alone In the little house, now too large, Noeml set to work with a heavy heart, making marvels, more delicate than gossamer, destined per haps to adorn the heads of persons loss worthy of wearing them than herself. Every Saturday she deliver ed her work, and divided her earnings Into two parts, one of which she sent to her brother to lighten the burdens of his soldier life. For his part, Louis behaved In hla regiment as he bad clone at Valen cleunes; that Is to say, in & credlta. ble way, so that after a term of two years he sent word one fine morning that he had been promoted to the rank of sergeant. Noeml was delighted at the news and was proud of her be loved brother. But her Joy was of short duration Some days later cries of "War!" gud denly resounded on all sides. Armed France rushed to the eastern frontier, The terrible year had commenced. Noeml shed no tears; she wrote to her absent brother, not to exhort him to duty thci she knew was unnec essary but to tell him once more ot her anxious love and to send her llt tio supply of money. One by one she learned by her brother's letters the successive defeats of Uie French army 'Worth, Rezonvillo, Saint Prlv at, Gravelotte, Sedan! Then sudden ly there was silence; no letters, no news, nothing. Wounded? Perhaps dead! Noeml, who had never read the newspapers, now hurried every morn ing to the office's of 1he Valenciennes papers to look for some ray of nope. She listened to the street rumors, mingled with the crowds discussing the news, and heard the sorrowful accounts of thut horrid war, learning that- her brother's regiment hud suf fered most severely. The wounded were transported by the Hirson and Avesne lines to the northern frontier towns; every day new convoys ar rived at Valenciennes. Soon- the civil and military hospitals were filled, but the wounded si 111 continued to in crease, so that private ambulances had to be organized everywhere. Churches and factories opened their j doors to the poor, maimed soldiers, who seemed innumerable. Noeml was paralyzed with terror; her heart filled with an Infinite pity, which with her brother was shared by all these wretched survivors of heroic battles. She watched the sad processions, eag erly scanning the countenances con ' traded with pain and wasted fever, in hopes of recognizing the beloved features she despaired of ever again seeing in this world. One morning the news reached her that a convoy of wounded belonging to her brother's regiment had arrived during the night. The poor girl was inspired with new hope; she thought her beloved brother was there among his comrades, and she ran to the am bulances, passing from one to the oth er, questioning the nurses and bend ing over each bed. ,But evening approached, and all had been in vain. The hope which had supported her during the day depart ed like the light. In the evening she stopped quite exhausted ; the supreme effort of will she had made to gaze without weakness at the unforgetable spectacle ot these unfortunate tioldiers pale, bleeding, emaciated; . thut sweot gleam of hope which had giv en her strength to onduro the com plaints of sufferers, the sight of hid eous wounds, all abandoned her soul. In the midst of her grief she was now alone, more than orphan; and with out a murmur, without revolt against the cruelty of her fate, she bowed her head and wept as she had wept the day before, as she would weep again on the morrow. Then she recalled the horrible vision of unsightly wounds, the convulsed features ot the livid countenances contracted with terror awaiting death, which alone could end such agony. She pictured to herself her poor brother, abandoned on some battle field far from all aid, stretching his hnnds to her in agony, calling her to his side. Suddenly she remembered that on the previous day a hospital had been established at St. Saulve es pecially for officers. Was there any chance of an unknown sergeant hav ing been conveyed thither? Certainly not, and yet she summoned sufficient strength to return. In a few minutes Bhe reached the hospital, resolutely opened the door, and entered. A military doctor met her. "What are you looking for, miss?" "My brother." "His name?" "Sergt. Ixul8 Verdier." 'JYou moan Sub-Lieut. Verdler." As he spoke the doctor pointed to the long line of mattresses on the floor. "There he is, in the sixth bed." The ground seemed to fly under her feet, and, suppressing a cry of Joy, she staggered forward, overcome by happiness and gratitude, falling on her knees at the side ot the bed on which her brother lay lu a heavy stupor, his head enevloped In linen bandages. "Louis, Louis, I am here!" she said, and almost swooned. The wounded man recovered con sciousness at tho sound of her voice and opened his eyes. Then, recogniz ing his sister, he Btretched out both his hands, unable to raise his head, which Noeml grasped and bathed with tears tears of Joy this time flowing from a heart which at last had found happiness. Her emotion was 80 great that words failed. The doctor walked quickly forward and half compelled her to leave the bedside. "You niUBt keep calm," he exclaim ed, "or we cannot answer for any thing. The wound la healing; your brother will certainly recover unless you spoil our work. Enough for to day. You can return tomorrow morn ing, but do not stay now." Louis Verdler, promoted to a sub lieutenancy on the field of battle, was shot In the forehead, but the bullet struck him obliquely and passed to the back ot the head, from which It was extracted. "Do you know," exclaimed the happy Noeml some days later as she sat by the bedside, "yesterday my em ployer gave me an order for a mag nificent piece of lace, very difficult to make, which he requires for a rich English firm. I began the work yesterday, and I hope to finish it In ten days. I shall be exceedingly well paid for this work. Can you guess what I intend to do with the money?" "No," replied tho young officer. "Well, as the doctor says you will soon be strong enough, I shall have you carried home, so that I can be at your side night and day. You will be very happy and soon quite cured. "What a good Idea, dear sister! I shall make haste to get better, so that I may accompany you." "I shall work hard, because your return home la not a mere dream, aud this happiness is close at hand.' Every day Noeml passed an hour at her brother's pillow; he was row convalescent, and Noeml constantly chatted about her lace; the work was progressing rapidly, r -d, as she had said, would be compl. -ed In ten. days One morning as t .o entered the hospital, her countenance beaming with Joy, her brother made a sign to her to speak In a low voice, glancing as he did so, at a newly arrived pa- tient on the neighboring mattress. This was Count de Laaterac d'Am broyse, lieutenant In the light In fantry. he had been struck on tho shoulder by a fragment ot shell "Poor youth," exclaimed Noeml moved with pity; "he has no sister to care for lit nr. She was interested in this unfor tunate, whom death seemed awaiting The pale sufferer gazed with staring eyes at the young girl, who, amid the hallucinations of fever, seemed to him like some heavenly vision. He fol lowed her with his gaze, which had hitherto been expressionless, seeming to be gladdened and smoothed. After her departure his eyes re mained fixed for a lung time on the door which had concealed the vision, then gradually closed In sleep. Next day, long before Noeml's ar rival, the wounded man, as though gifted with second sight, which warn ed him of her approach, directed his looks to the dour, and when at length the apparition was visible, a gleam ot joy passed over hlB shrunken fea tures. "Oh! the poor fellow! the poor fel low!" exclaimed Noeml, troubled by the fixity of those eyes, which seemed to contemplate her from beyond the grave She whispered In her broth er's iar to Inquire about the state of the stranger's wouud, and seemed freed from anxiety on hearing that there was hope. The days passed rapidly and Louis dallv srew stronger. Had he not promised to make haBte to get bet ter? On the morning of the tonth dav Noeml made her appearance, her face radiant with Joy. In her hand she carried carefully a little packet wrapped in tissue-paper. She also keut her word. Her marvelous piece of lace was completed, and sue wisu' ed her brother to see it before taking it to her employe.

They were both happy an, with clasped hands, they examined the delicate fabric, giving no attention to the stranger, who, being uneasy on ac count of this behavior, raised himself partially in his bed. In moving, the count displaced the bandages on his wound, and a stream of blood giiBhed forth and inundated the bed. Hearing the cry of the suf ferer, the doctor appeared and laid the horrible wound bare. "Quick! Quick!" he shouted. "Some lint! Quick!" While the distracted nurses were looking everywhere the blood still flowed, and the anxious doctor reiter ated his commands. Brother and sister, motionless, pale with terror, exchanged a single glance. Noeml tore her beautiful lace to pieces and handed it to the doc tor, who applied It to the wound; the hemorrhage was checked. "Thanks, dear sister." I-ouls could say no more.

Perhaps It Is Impolitic to teach boys new tricks, but It Is really too bad to have to walk a mile when it Is so easy to get over the fence and go cross-lots. Some years ago a man thought out Poor For n ITog linn". There is no good reason why the door to the hog house should bo made of heavy boards and kept shut, nor why tho house should be without any door if one will work out this simple plan. Take some strong burlap or an old fertilizer bag and get u few laths. Place the laths, on Inch apart on both sides of the bag (crosswise) nnd fasten them to each other, nailing through the bag. Hem the edges of the bag so 1hey will not ravel, then fasten over the' opening In the door, letting it near ly touch nt the bottom.
