I gayo a martial smile and brushed
off my cuff, on which a bullet whinh

'or they replaced them ; by a fire of

tain as I picked up my shako. "You are
safe now for the day. " . - '
I knew the : military superstition
which believes that the axiom ' 'non bis

field as to the courts of justice. I re

Our regiment was composed of three

We . advanced at a smart run, our

- All at once the Russians uttered three';
hurrahs, three distinct hurrahs, and then
stood silent without firing: -
"I don't like that silence" said the
captain. It bodes no good.?'
I began to think our people were too
eager. -I could not help comparing,
mentally, their shouts and clamor with
the striking silence of the enemy.

I raised my eyes. Never Bhall I forget
the sight whichmet my view. The
smoke had mostly lifted and remained
suspended like a canopy at 20 feet above
the redoubt. Through axbluish mist
could be perceived behind the shattered
parapet, the Russian grenadiers with
rifles lifted, as motionless as statues.'

hour had come. j.
"Now for the dance to open, " cried
the captain. These were the last words
I heard him speak. " '. - ,
; There came from the redoubts a roll
of drums. I saw the muzzles lowered.
I shut my eyes. I heard a most appalling
crash of 'sound, to which succeeded
groans and criers. Then I looked up,
amazed to find myself still) living. The

smoke. I was surrounded by the dead

ed at my f eet : A ball had carried off
his head, and I was covered with his
bipod. Of all the company only six men
except myself remained erect ;
. This carnage was succeeded by a kind
of stupor. The next instant the coloneL
with his hat on his sword's point, had
scaled the parapet wth a cry.of "Vive
rempereurl" The survivors followed
-him. All that succeeded is to me a kind
of dream. We rushed into the redoubt,
I know not how ; we fought hand to
hand in the midst of smoke so thick
thatnomaa could perceive" his enemy.
I found my saber dripping blood, I
heard a shout of " Victory I" and in the
clearing smoke I saw the earthworks
piled with dead and dying. The can
nons were covered with a heap of
corpses. About 200 men in the French
uniform were standing without order
loading their muskets or wiping their
bayonets. Eleven Russian prisoners
were with them. r ;

blood, upon a broken cannon. A group

AN AMUSING DEBATE.
The Subject Waa Serious EnovKb, bat the
" Situation Wit Comical. ' n
When, in the old days of trouble be
tween the English and French, there
was talk of sending Admiral Hawke to
sea to keep watch over the enemy's fleet,
there occurred a notable interview. - It
was November. The weather was stormy
and dangerous for vessels and the gov
ernment was not agreed as to sending
theni out l' v ' J
Mr. Pitt, who was in bed with gout,
was obliged to receive those who had
business with him in his chamber. This
room had two beds and no fire. The
Duke of Newcastle came to him to con-
eider the sending out of the fleet, and
had scarcely entered the room when he
cried out, shivering all over with' cold
"How is this? No fire?" ' X
"No." said Mr. Pitt. "When I have
the gout, I cannot bear one."
The duke, wrapped in his cloak, took
a seat by the invalid's bedside and be
gan talking, but he found mm sell un
able to endure the cold. ; ' ;
"Pray allow met" he exclaimed sud-
denly, and, without taking off his cloak,
he buried himself in the other bed and
continued the conversation.: He was
strongly opposed to risking the fleet in
the November gales. Mr. Pitt was abso
lutely resolved that it should put to sea,
and both argued the matter with much
warmth. It ! was the only warmth, in-"
deed, in the room.
- "I am positively determined that the
fleet shall sail, said Pitt, accompany'
ing his words with . the most lively gefl;
ticulations, '.'I V i
"It is impossible! 'If will perish!'

State Senate from this the Tenth
"Senatorial District, composed of the
counties of Naw Hanover and feruns-:
wick, having I been unanimously se
lected for this position by the Demo
cratic Senatorial Convention, of this
District. ' - ":;'-U':Q K: r
It was mV earnest wish to visit
every preciDci in your county and to
talk with and to you all face-to face ,
upon the issues of the campaign, but
I have been only partially able to do
so, and have been compelled to
abandon further visits to Brunswick
because during the limited time be
tween this and the, election the im
portant duties which 1 have to dis
charge in New Hanover compel me
to remain there, and therefore I am
forced to address, you through the
medium of the papers. - j j
I request of you your support for
the Senate, audi base my claim upon
the following reasons: j :
First. Because I have been select
ed by a convention composed partly
of your fellow-citizens and partly of
my own. j They have declared to you
their confidence ie my ability and my
fitness to represent you honestly, and
faithfully in the j Senate, j and the
stamp of their approval upon me
should, and I am sure will, carry
more weight with you than anything
I cantsay for myself. ; r 1 ?
Second. Because I am in sympathy
with, and represent truly and honestly
your sentiments upon the silver ques
tion. , I am an honest and earnest
believer in the free coinage of silver
at 16 to 1, and within the past three9
weeks, m order that the election of
Bryan might be made more certain
and the . triumph of the silver
cause more assured, at the request of
the State Executive Committee I re
signed my position- upon tne Jf resi
dential electoral 1 ticket as elector
from this, the Sixth. Congressional
District, to which I bad been elected
bv acclamation. Can I give you! a
better proof pf the sincerity of the
faith which is id me and of my devo
tion to the cause of silver ? '
Third. Because if elected t to the
State Senatef my vote for United
States Senator will not be given for a
gold bug," but for some oce who
will' truly and honestly represent my
own views and yours upon the finan
cial question.) I will vote for some
man who Willi stand by Bryan, our
candidate fof the Presidency,
in
to
passing a bill through Congress
restore silver to its position of honor
equally j with gold, but I will not
vote for i Jeter pntcnard : nor
any other traitor to the people's
cause, the ! cause oi suver.i
will not vote for any man who be
lieves in gold 'only as the standard of
value, and will therefore if elected
to the United States Senate help; to
tie the ' hands of Bryan and make
his election to the Presidency a null .
lity. I am informed that my com
petitor. Mr. uannon, nas aeciarea
that he will vote for a gold' man tor
United States Senator, if himself
elected to the State Senate, there
fore upon - this important issue j we
differ widely, and even if he did not
admit that he would vote for a gold
man for United States Senator, but
asserted the Contrary, you know very
well that you cannot believe him, be-
cause pressure win oe Drougni to
bear upon hln by- Judge Daniel L.
Russell to so vote, and that it win, De
just as impossible for him to resist
the influence and command ot Rus
sell as it has' been imposible for iny
man heretofore) Who has peen
brotrght within the vi influeiice
and control of Russell to J do
otherwise than as he . commands.
Therefore, the issue is clearly drawn
between Cannon and myself. He, it
elected, will vote j for a gold Unted
States Senator; I, if elected, win vote
for a silver! United States Senator.
He will do everything within his
nnwfr to keen the Dresent terribl
finanpiaKconditiorr as it is; I wilt do
everything that I can tOChange it
and bring relief to the people. . .
I therefore appear to you, Demo
crats and Populists, all you who re
spect yourselves, your race and
your j mother State, dear oia
Nortbq Carolina, . to judge pis
day between him and me.) Be not
deceived in your choice; send not a
man to the Legislature who will
misrepresent you . upon the impor-;
tant contest now raging in this
country between gold and silver.
As the late distinguished ADranam
Lincoln said: "You can fool all the
people j sometimes; you can . fool
some of the people all the time,! but
.
you can t .tool an tne people an me

THE TURN 0E A GAKB.
I was In Monto Carlo on business for my
house. I had been there three days, the
better part of which I had spent in gam
bling. - - - ,
- During the first two afternoons Dame
Fortune perched herself upon my hand.
No longer would it be necessary for me to
si ve throughout the day on a high stool,
facing a pile of ledgers. i "
' Besides, there was a certain little girl
waiting patiently' until the time should
arrive when I could afford to make her
my wife. !;.',- ..-;
The third day was to be my last In
Monte Carlo; then, heigh ho, for England
and May, my love! But on the third day
came the crash the cruel disillusion I
For some time I played carefully, staked .
small sums and won. Then there flashed
across my brain the thought that It was
my last dayjthere. So I altered my play,
staked high, had a variety of luck -and
then a sharp succession of heavy losses.'
'."But, after all, what was my real loss?
A paltry 100! I should have to return to
London, work hard, keep steady and'sare.
Was that the only course?
At the idea which suddenly grew within
me I started In dismay and indignation.
Fain would I have strangled it, but I
clung to my , hopes as a drowning man
clings to a. straw and became determined.
Either I would win back all I had - lost, or
well, I never troubled about the alterna
tive then. I took the step and fell.
The gambling fever was upon me, and I
found myself baok in the casino with 1,000
in my pocket, which belonged, to my em
ployers.; I had been to my hotel and prof
cured the money, but remembered naught
of the journey there or of the return. v -
My first plunge was 100 francs upon the
7 and I won. . After that I played with
great caution and was successful; their I
went the limit and lost. . : ' f ; "
What cursed luok I bad! Time after
time I .ran right up to the limit without
winning once. After that I relapsed into
a semicomatose state of mind . and ' staked
recklessly. ,,' ,
Again the last coin ! I threw It on the
three and lost! There was nothing: left :
now nothing but prison or death. I was
a man without a character, dishonored, a
thief. I rushed out Into the garden. ' -
A revolver lay in my hand, shining
bright and cold beneath the moonlight. I
offered up a prayer to heaven, asking for
giveness for the terrible sin; then raised
the weapon to my bead. 1
: A hand dropped heavily on iny shoulder,
the revolver slipped from my nerveless
, grasp, and I turned t meet an evil, smil
ing face. Xx . . i i . -- ; -
I started back, with a mingled crv of
fear and hatred on my lips, as I recognized
my old enemy, Paul Vansoourt, the man
who had tried unsuccessfully to steal my
-May's heart, and who had for his pains
received a publio thrashing at my hands.
' "So you have run yourself to earth at
last?" he began In a deliberate, exasperat
ing tone. '.'It's bad to end life as a thief,
but I knew you Would. I told you when
you thrashed me that I would have re
venge, and now I am having my fill;
"I knew, your weakness; knew i that
while you ever had a sou in "your pocket
you would never leave the tables, and it
was I who persuaded your governor to in
trust you with the mission that brought
-you here. I have played and won.'' See
here. " And he waved a bundle of notes be
fore my eyes. ' ' j - - -!-
"I staid your hand to tell you this," he
went on, "and make your death the harder.
When you have ended your career; when
your dishonor is published to the world, I
shall return to England, and May your
May will be mine, thankful that she had
. not already linked herself to a common
thief." . - -' ! .
He stooped, picked up the revolver and
offered It to me, smiling as he did so.
Then all the bad in me came uppermost,
the wrath that had been choking me found
a vent, lent me the strength of a dozen
men, and as Paul offered the weapon I
sprang forward and felled him to the earth.
i. Then I dropped on my knees and felt his
heart. It had ceased to beat and I was a
murderer as well as a thief!. There was
no time tb think or regret. I took the re
volver from the dead man's hands and the
notes from his pocket, then fled-away, and
morning found me well on my way to
' England. -' -; ' ':
I never intended to deal bim his death
blowthough X allowed he deserved It
: but when I found that he was dead I aoted
so that his body, when,. discovered, might
be taken for that of a suicide' or a mur
dered luan, for the authorities at tho ca
sino did not trouble to announce publicly
every case of suspicious death which oc
curred on their premises. ! ' )
- In jnldchannel, under the cover of night,
I buried the revolver in the ocean's depths.:
I felt no remorse for ray .sin.) My heart
was adamant, my nature callous.' No, con
science pricked we; no thoughts haunted
me. I tore the former out by the roots
and buried it with the revolver in the sea
and never for a moment encouraged the
latter. " ' .
V By the following evening I was in the
great metropolis again and hastening away
to May's homo, at Hampstead. : . -
What a wcJoome I should receive! I saw
May running forward to - greet me, to be
caught In my arms and kissed. ...
- What awelconie I did receive! Silently
the door was opened by the servant open
ed ere I. was aware of it, for I was stand
ing, gazing dawn the road, and started
when a hand touched my elbow. ; .
It was a 6orry face I encountered white
and scared, with eyes, red and' dim. A
finger was raised to insure Bflenco. ; . ,
"What has happened, Janef Is any one
ill?" ,
I turned the light full on, and May's"
father entered as the girl fled. "
One look on his face con vinoed me that
something unusual N had ocourred. He
took my proffered hand, but his grasp was
weak and trembled as with palsy.'
' "Something is wrong, sir," I said.
"Tell me what is it. Some one lllf Who
is it May?" I
He could not speak, but his eyes gave
me sufficient answer, and in my agony I
could have screamed aloud. My May was
dead! Tit-Bits. V I

Turned Her Head.-
Miss Caustio When I saw Mrs.
Plainfaoe the other day, her head
