Her mother, an old nid vrrinklal
woman vt-honv ago had made timid and
nervous, was seated by the firesido spiu
Mhi.T. . ' .
"I do not lil:o it, Corthino," said she;
"when your father is from homo, two
women avo not stro::'." - ' ' -"But
I am not afiaid,'' the .girl re
epondod; 'I can defend myself from a
wolf or ft Prussian all tho same," and
eho glanced Bignilicaiitly at a hu.c;o re
volver suspended above the chimney
piece.
Berthino'8 husband -had been in the
army ever sinco tho beginning of tho
Prussian invasion, and these two women
had remained aloao with only tho old
father, Nicholas Pichon, tho gamckceicr,
a3 ha was called in tho neighborhood,
who liad oiKtinutcly refused to leave his
dwellinj; and seek iSrotcction in tho city.
Tito city nearest tho Pichon hut was
Eothcl, a quaint and ancient place perched
upon a high rock. Filled with patriot
ism, tho citizens had decided to resist in
vaders to shut themselves up, and if nec
essary sustain a siego such as had taken
place in tho timo of their f orefathersfor (
twice already tho inhabitants of Rothel,
in tho days of Henry IV, and Louis XIV,
had rendered themselves thus illustrious.
Purchasing a supply of cannon aud guns,
equipping a militia, and forming thcmT
selves into battalions and companies, they
exercised daily on tho Place d" Amies.
Eakers, grocers,, butchers, notaries, law
yers, cabinet makers, librarians and even
druggists maneuvered in turn at tho regu
lation hour under tho command of SI.
Lavigno, an ex-oincer of dragoons, and
to-day, tiianka to his having married
tho daughter and heiress of tho shop
keeper, Karcdiin, tho richest and most in
fluential man in tho city.
; And thus they patiently waited the
Prussians, tho Prussians who never came,
though twice they had lieen soon in tho
forest, in tho neighborhood of I'ichon's
hut, who had run to warn tho city.
lids houso of Nicholas Pichon 's served
as a sort of advance post in the forest of
Avoline; and twica a week tho old man
went into tho city to ".nchaso provisions
and to carry to the eiLLzens. tho laicct nowa
of tho caur.'aign.
Ills errand to Rethel to-day was to an
nounce that a small detachment of Ger
man infantry had halted near his houso
about 3 o'clock that morning. They did
not reiniuu Igng, nqr djcl ho. know thg di
rection they had taken, but ail tho same,
asToon as they had f;ono again Pichon
called hU dog3 and started for the city,
instructing hu wifo and daughter to bolt
and Ijarrica'.o tho houso when night
should fail, and on no account to open
tho door, no matter who might knock.
Bcrthino was afraid of notiiing, but the
oil woman tr-'nibled and constantly re
peated: 'It will end lwdly-you will seo
it wUl end badly, sure!" and to-night
she Roomed more unquiet than usual.
"llnowest thou nt what hour thy fa-'
thcr will return;-" die Laid to" her daugh
ter, presently,
"Not beforo 11, certainly. When fa-
ther dines with tho major commandant
(tho tiilo Lavigno had confirred upon
liimrrelf), ho never returns till Liter" and
Bcrthino hung tho ;ot over tho (ire and
prepared to mako tho soup. All ot once
sho ceased to stir ii; slit: was listening to
an intl-stliict noiso that camo down tho
fiuo of the cliimncy.
"Some one ia walking in the wood,"

"Jlon Dieu, BcTthifie!" tlic cried; "and

tao room but the light whining of tho
rolling wheel and tho bubbling of the
water in tho pot.
They ato voraciously, their mouths
spread to their widest extent i:i nn eilort
to swallow the more, and their round eyes
opening and shutting with every move
ment of their jaws, Tho noir,o they
mado in swallpwing somidcd li!;o tho
gurgling of a water ;vre. As they were
thirsty as well as hurigry, B.-rthino at
List descended to t!ie cellar to draw them
some cider. , To reach it sho was obliged
to pass n low vaulted chamber or cave,
used, so they said, during tho revolution
as a prison or placo of concc;il:ncnti You
could only enter it by a iianwv titairway
leading from the floor of tho kitchen,
closed by a heavy door.
Bcrthino was gone a long timo to draw
tho cider, and when she reappeared sho
was laughing laughing softly to herself.
Soon the Boluicrs had fiuLihed their
supper find were nodding around tho
table. ' Every now an 1 then a head
she responded, "all is th:
Ton can stretch yourselves by tho
fire, if yon like," said tho foreslicixv
kindly. "Mother and I will climb to tho
upper floor."
A moment later a key turned in tho
lock overhead thero was tho sound of
footsteps on tho floor, and then silence.
With their feet to tho firo and their
heads supported upon their knapsacks,
the Prussians wcro soon snoring loudly.
They had slept perhaps an hour, when
suddenly thero was the report of a gun
shot, another and another, loud and
nejir; . They leaped to their feet as tho
door of the stai) leading to tho upper
floor was thrown open and Bcrthino ap
peared, baro footed, half clad and wild
with off right.
"It is tho French," sho cried, "at
least a hidred of. them! For tho love
of God. go into tho cellar find mako no
noisq: if you do, wo' are lost!''
"I vill, I vill," the officer stammered,
bewildered and excited, "but how can we
get down?"
She lifted the trap in tho floor, disclos
ing tha narrow stuirs, and tho six men
quickly disappeared. When tho brim of
the last hut had vanished from si.-ht,
Bcrthine replaced the oaken flap, as thick
as a wall and hard as steel, fastened it
with a monstrous bolt and began to
laugh agr.in, to laugh like a maniac, as
sha softly danced abovo tho l ends of her
prisoners shut up in their box of stono,
and as they had promised to lw silertt as
tho tomb, knowing that they were per
fectly scenre stud well supplied with air
through a vent in tha wall guarded by a
strong iron grating, she gave herself no
further concern regarding thcinv bat set
about replenishing tho lire and- tho pot
of soup in readiness for her father's re
turn. r
It was not long, however, beforo sho
heard them ::trrringndcr her feet and tho
sound of talking. Bwthine listened; it
was clear lliat- the Prussians were liegin
ning to suspect tlw ruse and would soon
demand release. She was not mistaken,
for a moment later some ono stumbled
up tho winding 6tairs nnd began to beat
uiKin tho trap wi:h his iMs. "Open to
toor; open it, I say!" shouted the voice
of tho officer, "or I'll preak it in!" '
"Preak it in, my good man," Bcrthino
answered tauntingly, mimicking his
broken accent: 'preak it in, by all
nleaius!" But tho effort was useless; their
fisU, tho hntt ends of .thc muskels and
all their kicks and poundings were pow
erless t release 1 hem : that door was stout
enough to hav defied a catapult. Con
vinced -f this at Int. they a'.jai.i de'Ci -nded
and onco more all was silence, broken
only by tho ticking of tho chsck on tho
mantel bhelf. Aa tho hands jioinled to

heard in tlio iorcst arid the young woman
arose and opened tii) door. The figures

"Bo net pass before the vent hole,,
father," said she, as soon as ho was near
enough to hear her; 'thero are Prus.;i;ui3
in the cellar."
Prussians in the collar!" Nicholas
Pichon replied astounded. 'Prui.i!an3in

cellar, child? Toll wo, quick!"
"They are tho same yon saw venter- j

Pichon. placing a whistlo to his lips,
sent forth into tho night a long, &hrill
blast, and soon, in the mist rising beneath
tho trees, Bcrthino saw tho figures of a
band of men, tlio advanco guard cf tho
arriving troops. : . . .
"But don't pass beforo the vent hole!"
Pichon shouted, as tho men appeared;
and "Don't pass beforo tho vent lit !o!"
solemnly repeated the soldiers to t!io.?o
behind. Soon tho wholo troop was visi
ble to tlio young woman, a' 'hundred
strong, each man carrying in his belt 209
cartridges, and led by Lavignc himself.
Placing his men in a lino around the
houso, with a liberal sp:ice boforo the hole
leading to the cellar, tho major com
mandant valiantly entered tlu hour;; to
inform himself as to tho strength and at
titude of tho enemy, now so quiet' that itt

and receiving no rcsixmsc. For twenty
minutes moro ho continued to c: Jl upon

or hostility.
- In the meantime tho soldiers cook-d
their heels in the snow outside, faithfully
guarding the vent hole, slapping their
luinds-to keep them from freezing, and

Suddenly one of tliem. bolder than the
re3t, and who ran like a doer, made tho
attempt. It was successful;, tho impris
oned Prussians seemed as if dead. " Em
boldened by their comrades another and
another followed in his stops. It had
become a game, or a race for life hi
which tho devil could take the hindmost.
They had lighted a tremendous fire to
keep themselves from freezing, and tho
ruddy glare of the flame fell full upon
tho laughing faces Of tho:' prankish
guards as thoy voyaged rapidly from left
to right and from right to left again. All
at onco some one called out: "M.itlicson,
it is now your tuuj; come, hurry, my
boy; hurry up!"
Now, I must tell you that Matheson
was tho baker of Rether, un enormously
fat man, whose Inflated stomach, big as
an ordinary balloon, furnished .unending
merriment for liis frolicsome comrades.
IIo hesitated and tried to draw out of the
race, but they jeered and. mocked him till
ho, too, started, breathless, and with
little mincuig steps that shook his paunch
like jelly, across the" intervening tpucc.
Tlio whole detachment laughed until
they cried, shouting and urging him on
ith a storm ofbravas ai.d encouraging
w.ordu. ' .
Half way across the open space a large
red flame darted from tho vent hoi,1, a
sharp detonation followed, and tho big
Kethcr baker fell ujxin his nose, with a
ball inJux thigh. As no one rushed to
euccor him he dragged himself on his
hands and knees until out f roach of tho
balls, then quietly fainted away, moro
from fright than pain of the wound, for
the ball had ecafcely more limn ploughed
the flesh Mow the thigh bone. At tho
sound of the musket shot the major com
mandant rushed from (ho hou.ie.
"Tinsmitlis!" he roared, "tinsmiths,
come forward!""
A man, followed by two others,
stepped from tho ranks and stood liefore
tho cominand.-uil. "Take tho cutler
from the house," said ho, "and bring

Dr. Copland,' in speaking of two children
who had wonderful appetites, tlio young

"The quantity of food devoured by her
was a. tonijhing. Everything that could
be laid hold of, even in rtJ raw utate, was
seized upon ii4 greedily. Olli:r articles,

THE LAWS OF HABIT:
Tho Dally Itrtll and Its EfTeota Habit
tho riywhool of Soclctj,
Dr. Canionter, . from whose' "Mental
Physiology" wo have quoted, has so
prominently enforced tho principle that
oiu- organs grow to the way in which they
havo been exercised, and dwelt upon its
consequences, that his book almost de
serves lo bo called a work of edification
on this account alone. Wo need mako
na apology,' then, for tracing a few- of
these consequences ourselves: '
"Habit a second nature! Habit i3 ten
limes nature," tho Duke of Wellington
ii said to have exclaimed; tfnd the degree'
to which this, ia truo no ono can probably
npprcciato as well as ono who hi ii a vet
eran collier himself. Tho daily drill and
the yean of discipline end by fashioning
a man completely over again, cs to mctit
of the possibilities of liis conduct. "There
ia a story, whiclf ia credible enough,
though it' may not bo true, of n practical
joker, who, seeing a discharged veteran
carrying home his dinner, suddenly ; called

Habit is tlni3 the enonnoua flywheel cf

within tho lxitinds of ordinance, nnd

WHO FIRST DISCOVERED GOLD!1
A California Woman Civet the t recti t to
J0I111 Itenton.
' Tlie closing days of-JfilO presented a
fnr different scene to tho eyc3 of Jlra.
John L Jlurjihy, of Kan Jose, and sister
of Mrs. Lewis than tho cloiinrj days of
1820. Then sho.waaut Donner lake uitlt
a party hemmed in by Know aud
anxiously waitiu;; for tho relief which
did. not come for vvee!j3 afterward.
' "It i3 a curious fnct," she began, "that
thtrcreditof tho gold diseovery 'Was never""
Riven to the man to wliom it ri;;htrully
Ix'luns. It w;ih discovered in tho winter
of MU and '47 in a cabin in which wo
were at Donner lake, seated by a fire,
each bu;:y with hia or her own thoughts.
Tliat au-ful timo at Doiiner luke is as
firmly imbedded in my memory as if ham-iSh-etl
thero by hammers of iron. A3 I
eaid, v.-o wcro dented around tho firo
wh.en John Denton, a fjiiiinmilh by trade,
wliilo knocking off chijw of tho rot;ks ori ,
v.-hich tlio v.-ood was placed, saw .some
thin,-; shining. IIo examined it arid pro
nouneed it -cold. IIo then knocked oflf
moro'chips from the reeks, and hunted in
tho ashes for more o5 tho idiinin,-? parti
clea, until ho had gnthered a tiiblc-.'ixxin-i
fid. lie wrapiK'd tho gold in a pirco of
buckskin andVut it hi his pocket.' Yhen
tho lint relief party came ho went out
with il, but died on tho way, nnd tho cold
was buried with him. When I saw my
father, Mr. Keed, I told him of the cir
011:1111101100.' and, ears he, 'If John Den
ton says that that h fiold, it is Rold, for
ho known.' My fr.thor intended to p;d
Lack to Dormer lake to search far tho
precious uiot:il, but before ho titarted
Rold was discovered tit Cutter "0 fort,
hence ho did not return ta tho l ike. I
think (hat if a thorough ce.-irch is mado
gold can bo found at tlio prut-nt tkiy ut
tho Like or near it. Not ranch cold has
tinea been found there, Ikic.iuso 1.0 regu
lar prospect has lieen made for it.
