I Providential Escapes, j
Vr '
TI1E porson who doe not at some
timo or other of his life experience
w.iat can only be described as a "provi
Jcutlal escape" must be quite a unique
personage. We have all known or ex
perienced them, and tales of this order
are multitudinous in their number.
Some of them I may briefly relate.
The cellar-flap was cautiously raised,
timl the head of a woman aDueared
through the dark entry a woman of
three or four-and-tweuty, with fair, dis
hevelled hair, and a face in which con
siderable beauty combated an anxious,
worn exnresslon. The woman had
passed through tho terrors of the first
ifge of Paris, and was now experienc
tug all horrors of the Commune.
She looked anxiously in the direction
of a group of men, who were hauling
with ropes the carcass of a horse (killed
by a shell from Versailles) in the direct
tion of that cellur-flup which she now
carefully raised.
In this way did Gretchen Hoffmann
and her sister "run" the Ilotel du Nord,
the shutters of which were closed dur
.ing that memorable occupation of Tar
Is. They supplied the wants of many
old customers, who might otherwise
have starved, while their cowordly
brother Carl, the proprietor of the
hotel, was chuckling in comfortable
lodgings in Soho. Carl had fled to Eng
land, leaving his plucky sisters to bear
the brunt and burden of the day alone.
Some time had elapsed since the
trifling incident just recorded, when a
-scene took place on the steps communi
cating with a side street to the St.
lazare station.

of a tall, seedy, seml-military-looklng

after a brief struggle, hurried into a

hastily-assembled judges. After a
mock trial, at which the prisoner had
no opportunity of clearing himself, ho
was condemned with '- nine others
"(charged with various real or supposed
offenses) to execution within 24 hours,
in the prison yard. .
Tho man of whom I particularly
peak waa absolutely innocent of tfie

liad no concern whatever in the affairs
of the Commune. To dilate on that

Investigations to the suburbs, where,
amongst other points of Interest, the
still burning ruins of a chocolate manu
factory attracted our attention. The
door having been barricaded, we made
our entry by a half-demolished window
on the ground floor; and, having sc-
venirs of our visit, we lit our pipe, and

ly believing our routed enemies to be
far away, somewhere up In the Pyre
nees. Xot so, however. We had been
watched while "looting" in that chocc-
late manufactory, and as we uncon-
cernedly approached a flat-roofed house
in which some 15 or 10 Carlists hod se
creted themselves, they prepared to
give us a warm reception. But they
were premature in opening their bat
tery. Had they waited a few minutes
longer we roust have been killed. t
were, perhaps, CO or 70 yards oft when
some from -the balcony, others from
the broad dusty road they blazed
away at us from ail points. As for us,
we fled as fast as our legs would carry
us towards still burning Behobie.
The excitement of the hunter Is as
nothing to the. hunted, and in this in
stance we were subjected to a cross-fire
from our own side: for the government
troops had opened fire on the enemy.
I know my companion iiuthls experi
ence (Mr. Henry Lane) and Myself are
not likely ever to forget tho rattling
fusillade from the Carlists, and the
cross-fire from the government troops
under which we sought 'cover, Oud
which is vividly brought to my mem
ory at this moment by one of these
chocolate tins which I have hud eon
verted by means of four little foct into
a receptacle for the ashes of the pipe
of peace. The same receptacle serves
also to remind nie, when smoking my
calumet, of the most irtnrvelous escape
from assassination I have ever experi
enced for they were lavish in their ex
penditure of lead on that occasion.
Uis nose was aquiline to a fault; he
could have given llookybeak the raven
several points but I anticipate.
Two other war correspondents and
myself were up country, in Asia Minor,
on our way to the Turkish lines, and we
hod secured accommodation for the
night in one of those empty barn-tike
stables, which, for the convenience of
travelers in remote districts, are now
and again to be met with In Anatolia.
As, however, we had not long been
quartered there before, too lute to avail
themselves of its shelter, a number of
Arab camel-drivers encamped outside,
and as, moreover, Arab scruples about
other people's property are said to be
limited, we gave out emphatically to
our small escort and followers that, till
wo left at sunrise, no one should leave
tho khan; Indeed, It was already so far
Into the night that we kept our horses
and ourselves in readiness, after an
hour or two's rest, to continue the jour
ney. ' It waa a sultry night, and, fatigued
with a long ride, wo were soon fast
asleep.
How long afterwards it waa that I
waa aroused by a curious creaking
sound, I can't say; but, as a lantern
which waa burning threw a fitful light
round, I eould distinctly see that the
stable door was slowly opening, abeam
which had ben placed before it having
been removed. Clearly, some one within
waa in collusion with the Arabs with
out, and murder, If necessary, and rob
bery as a matter ot course, might be
expected, wider and wider still did
that door open, revealing presently a
long silver streak of moonlight which
threw its shaft athwart tho earthen
floor,' Not an Instant was to be lost; to
arouse tho others attach moment
would have been a signal for the entry
of the Arabs en masse. I. quietly as I
eould,' rose to my feet, drew my re
volver, rested my arm for steadier aim
on a wooden partition and waited.

a moment we discovered our mistake,
but It was too late. The impetus which
the steep desceut gave ub made it quite
impossible to retrace our steps; so on
we rushed, hardly realizing the
imminent danger we were in from the
perpetual irregular fire ot the enemy,
whose bullets simply poured in upon us
from the protecting cover of the neigh
boring rocks. We saw the roofs and
spires of Ban Sebastian in the distance,
which eventually we entered, covered
with blood, mud, and the foam of our
panting steeds. Now comes the most
remarkable part of tkA memorable
retreat.
We took, a 1 have mentioned, the
most precipitous and longest road.
Now, had we taken that other road to
the-right, what would the consequeaeeat
have been? A few days before there
had been a landslip a short distance
down this road, a vast dislodgment of
earth, which had competely blocked a
descent that would, in all human prob
ability, have been fatal to our whole
party.
