CHAPTER XV.
"PABOU D'HONBXCR."
"Leroux," said Bohmer, coming
close to him in the exe'reise yard-
"I have erood news for vou." The
listletf,- patient, face turned to wax d
him.
"For me? What news can you
hare that would be good? Even
pjr release-4com ibis den of misery
yft&d! Ct?t' fchne' ih'. hapiss or
content." j
"Nonsense. You take too gloomy
a riew of ever thing," said tne kind
hearted German. "We!l, I have
brought you a letter. It is fjom a
countryman of your own, so at least
my sweetheart told me. How she
uy " is a mystery, but per
haps it has good news or may treat
of ransom. Who knows! I only
hope it may, for this life ' would kill
you soon; 1 am sure of that."
"A? letter did yo say?"
, "Yesj and from a compatriot.
Take heed no one sees you read it.
It is as much as my life is worth to
carry it to ydU, but then Gretchen
pleaded so prettily and asked . so
tearfully, what could I do? Here,
take it, but don't read, it, for the
love of Heaven, till You are safe and
unobserved." The; tiny missive was
passed rapidly from hand to hand,
none seeing the transfer, and Leroux
concealed it in the' bosom of his
ksoafc -
Ninette, safe and sheltered still
from the ever-dreaded discovery of
her whereabout, had formed a plan,
despeat and hopeless enough, but
woman-like in its very self sacrifice
and devotion.
Knowing that Hans Bohmer was
the lover of the kind-hearted girl
whese ready invention had com
pletely concealed her own identily,
she persuaded Gretchen to coax him
into delivering a letter to her hus
band "with plan for his eseape. Her
object was to induce Bohmer to as
sist hum. At dead? of night, when
the German had he sentry duty,
this could easily be managed. Once
out of the garrison. Gretchen was to
meet him with the peasant suit which
had so well disguised his wife. The
necessary papers and forms would
bd obtaiaed as if for the departure
of 'COTsiA Hans."
Thus disguised he could make
his way out of the city take the
train for whatever place he deem
ed best, and then, at the first op
portunity possible, mke his way to
France. Of the risk she herself
ran by resuming her Roman's at
tire, Ninette thought nothing. To
have ber trusband from the torture
aod oppression he dairy endured,
this was her only) thought. She
preserved her own part in the plan a
sirticf secret, knowing well that
believing what he did of her, the
mere mention of fcer name would
have deterrehim.1 from attempting
to escape. The letter containing
these directions purported to be
from a Frexiohn soldier, and as
wriiteo in. their own language.
As Pierre Leroux read it in soli
tude that night by the light of the
misty moon-rays, his heart for a
moment bounded with hope, Free!
Tfche 'free; once more to quit this

lover. 4iBut this man is indeed a
hero.
"He must be," slie said so t!y, and
Ninette in the little room within
heard and echoed the word?, even
amidst her wild despairing tears.
"What shall I do? Wbat can I
do?" she thought, in her agony. "It
is I who have given him to this fate.
Why can I not suffer for him?"'
She lay there prostrate, in a grief
that racked her with the sharpness
of remorse, in the exhaustion of a
suffering she scarcely had strength
to bear. When the soldier had gone
and Gretchen stole softly to her side
with the tidings of their i 1 success,
she lay on htr Darrow bed, white
and senseless aod as si ill an death.
Ere the morning brok, she was
in the clutches of a terrib'e fever.
Days passed on.
In fear and trembliDg the good
woman and her daughter nursed the
girl. Medical aid tbty dred not
summon for fear of discovery. They
did their bett; they gave her such
simple remedies as they knew of, but
she . lay unooncious of tv ry effort
and every remedy. She was tor
mented only by incessant thriet by
the pressure of daily pain o i hf-r ach
ing brow, as if an iron L aid was
weighing down the restle s throb
bing brain. Paroxysms of .iliriurn
alternated with the stupor of exhaus
tion, and she lay unknowing aught
of the pas age of time, of how hours
and dajs lapsed into weeks', aod her
daughter increased with each. At
last the dtrknesi which ha I -o long
engulfed her reason began to clear.
Slowly concioueness and memory re
turned, the youth and strength in
her frame refused to be quenched,
and struggled back to lite again,
when even life seemed t lmost ovr.
Day by day and night bv night
they kept their faithful i;il bv Lnr
bedside. Each indication wh ch
marked the slightest improvement
in her condition was noted with de
light, while the slightest trace of an
unfavorable aspect was hiiled with
sorrow, Bnt their care and worry,
their fear and nxitty were soon to
end.
"She will live!" asid the old wc-iuau.

"She will live, the go id Go.l be
praised!" echoed -Gretchfn, gladiy
and gratefully.
The stck girl turned her gr at
wistful eyes on them with a wonder
that awed their joy and held them
si ent. Is that a thing to be glad of?"
she asked, and turned her face to the !
wall and wept the slow hot tears of
weakness and despair.
Thdt others should be glad because
thi-j living death of uncared for ex
tencj was still heis, seemed at oute
so sad and so strauge. Yet the gift

A Hint to Cabbage Growers.
As cabbages increase in growth by
the heading process they have a ten
dency sometimes to split open, which
ery greatly diminishes the value of
the heal. Asa remedy, Mr. J. J.
Gregory, the noted market gardener
and. seedsman of Jlwbtebead, Miss.,
recommends going over the grou;.d
and starting the cabbage that appears
to be nearly miture, tipping them to
one side. He says this tends to in
ert asing the size of the cabbage
heads and prevents their bursting.
It is certainly a very simple oppcra
tion and one well worthy of trial.
Materials fob Mulching. --Various
materials are used for mulching some
nrefering one article and others an-
a
other. Professor Beal, of the Mich
igan Agricultural College, gives the
result of several experimen:s to de
termine the best materials for mulch
ing fctrawberriea and other plants,
and ai rives at the conclusion that the
best is chopped straw. He finds a
thick coat of manure excellent for
bedding pUnts. He triad o'd clover
hay, and had a fine crop of clover
plants to kill the next spring. Hay
gives a si mil tr result iu a young crop
of grain. Straw badly threshed fur
nishes in the same way a young grain
crop in the garden. Forest ljaves
held down by cornstalks, gradually
blew away during the winter, and the
cornstalks slana remained in the
spring after an opn winter. Piue
needles w k id into the soil prov
ed a nuisance, end the same objec
tion existed with ta l bark. Cln
straw, old or new, or even fodd. r cut
two inches lonj, less or more, answer
ed the best p jrpoic. Iadepea nt
readers who tleMre to use mulching
miteritl that will dj the mjst good,
at the least after trouble or expense,
should heed Professor Beal's suggestion.

Sullivan and Hllralu.
Nearer and nearer comes the day
when John and Jake, in battle array,
must dare and do in fistivi fray for
championship supremacy.
Both sides are very confident of
winning. Kilrain believes that Sulli
van has seen his day and that he can
not stand a long and bard contest.
He is a shade teller than SaUivao,
but no longer in the reach. He will
trj and make a waiting fight of it.
He has a splendid left, and Charley
Mitchel who ought to know, says he
is as clever a big man as he ever f aw.
Jake will try to jab Sallivan with his
left if he can, escape his right if pos
sible, and wrestle whenever he
has an opportunity. Of course if he
gets a chance to use his own right
he will do so, and he can hit pretty
hard with it. He worked very hard
to get his wind right, and his main
reliance is in tiring Sallivan oat.
Bully iluldoon declares tht John
L. ia in better condition than he ever
was before. The big fellow 9 d mis
behave a little at first, but lately he
has bulked down to his work like a
major. With a .view to improving
his wind he has learned to skip h
rope, as little girls do, and on Wed
Beeday he is said to have skipped it
746 times without cessation. It he
did, all will agree that his legs and
his wind is auVrigLt. Mike Cleary,
who knows him aim tt from the be
ginning of fistic career, declares that
Sully is a stronger man to-day than
he ever was before",
Muldoon has given him some valu
able hints on wrestling. It is hardly
probable that he will attempt to throw
Kilrain; that would be foolish, but
Muldoon has endeavored to teach ham
how to break every hold that can be
taken of hi in in a fight. An ordinary
wrestler has a hard time throwing
one his inferior in skill aDd strength,
if the man of lesfeer skill acts wholly
on the defensive. Paddy Ryan ws
considered quite a wreetler, audwhen
fo,;ret8SaUiVar a, f'P1 7ly!
before the
fiht that he would throw Sullivan.
He did not get a chance to try for a
fall until the second round. Then he
got the uriderhold. Sullivan spread
his leg-: as wide apart and as far from
Ryan as .e could, and then hung on
him as hmp as a dishrag. John
weighed 203 pounds that day, aad
Paddy fousd bicn very tlifficult to
handle. He endeavored to get a
fresh hold lower down on Sully, and
in straining for it he slipped bis truss.
He was ruptured, it will be remem
bered. When he did succeed in for
cing Sulivan ov. r it was only a dog
fall, and as they lay on the ground
Paddys hands aad forearms were so
tightly pinned to the ground by Sul
livan's back that John had to be raised
before they could be released. Pad
dy's wrestling power did not help him
a bit.
It will be rememb rid that Mitch
ell was the only man who was ever
able to evade Sullivan's rushes. Sul
livan was as fat as a pig when he met
McCaffrey, and he bad him virtually
v-ut in the third rouncf" when time
was eironeously called. D m got a
minute of respite, and after that be
t )ok care that Sully did not get a
minute's rest until he was nearly tired
out with his own txertions. Sullivan
I cannot believe was in anything like
proper Iri n when he met Mitchell,
b it even at that McCaffrey tells me
that ha knocked him around like a
s ck f wheat until he injured bis
rig t i rm fo terribly. He had Miich-
JCll ut. to had time been called
"prum. t y, but Sully and his party
wer ' so confident of success that
th y di 1 not inaist on press;Dg their
c'a w. eu Mitchell got more time
than In was really entitled to.
Kilr i i has never been a dare-devil
figh'er. even when he had his men as
good as settled. That is his chief
defect a a pugilist. He is big strong
and t-levtr, but he is not as quick on
his f. e'. as Sullivan or Mitchel. He
will net be able to run away from Sul
ly's ru.-hm- as Mitchell and McCraf
fraydi', nd thoe who think that
he ca , h ( p Sullivan with a left hand
jab hav- great faith its efficacy.
When S. llivan makes'up his mind to
attack a mm he leads' with his left,
and, thr wi g the whole weight and
impetus " f hi tremendous body with
it, follow it. up with a perfect storm
of blows. N man yet has ever beerf
able to bimid before him and ex
change bio v-t with him.
No guard tuat Kilrain can preiant
will stop Sully -a fraction of a second.
If Jake w v rs for an instant he ie
doomed. H t--ay be very skittish at,
first end keep way from Sullivan as
much as possib'", hoping that John
will either tiro h in self out iu rushing
at him or expo e, himself to a right
band twing, j nt the man who can
land good ai.d bird on Sully's jaw
has never yet l-.eu founl, and Jake
is twici as good in-uas he was when
ue met Jem Smith if he does it.
The backers of both men expect to
realize enough out of the excursion
mone j to nake the whole of their

stake money. Thev expect that from
3,000 to 5,000 people will pay $10
each to eae the battle. That will
yield from $30, GQ0 to $50,000, and
after all expenses are paid there will
be money enough left to give them
back their stakes.
The Forms f leiiT
Uses.--
and Their
Even the mostcuxsorjr .observer of
vegetable life most bay e.bean often
struck with various, forms of leaves.
Why they should , be, so. varioqefy
formed does not, however, of tea sug
gest itself, though there is a reason
for the special shape and texture; of
almost every leaf in existence. P:aa(s,
such as grasses, daffodils, and others
which usually grow in clusters, have
generally narro leans growing up
right, so as net to QverfchadowfQne
another. Other planlf, .of isolat
ed habits, have an arrange men jof
foliage which secures to tha
selves the space of , ground necB8ar.v
for their development. The daisy,
dandelion, or shepherd's purse
which may mostly be seen in pas
tures are examples of this. A cir
cle of bioad leaves pressed, against
the ground, forming what is known
as a rosette growth effectually bars the
approach of any otber plant apd kef p
clear from all other roots the sp&ce,ujf
ground necessary to its own nutri
ment. Floating loaves, and leaves
or marsh plants, are usually of sim
ple outline, for, having-few competi
tors, they are not liable to gat 4a : oi.se-.
another's light. Submerged plants
have mostly leaves . fc narrow- seg
ments the reason c , which: ia , not
very weU understood, though it as
sumed by naturalists that it is for -the
purpose ot exposing, asjlarge a. surface
as possible, in order to extract the
minute propotion of carbonic . acid
disolved in a vast bulk of water.
Leaves on the boughs pf trees are
often much devided, so as to fold
ily, to prevent their being rent and
surface of evergreens is inteuJed to
torn by high winds, while the ghnsy
throw off rain and dew, which might
freeze on them, and fo cause injury
to the tissues within. But the hairs
on the surface of leave are perhaps
the most interest i. g of alL With
the aid of a microscope, the beautiful
and systematic arrangement, of
these can be easily discerned and
their uses undei stood, . On . many
plants there are grandula hairs, to
catch or deter small creeping insects;
on others there are hairs set so as to
act effectively against, young aoimajs j
as a spike palisade agamst pblrutive
boys: pn others, hairs which, arrest
the drops of moisture and fores .them
down the leaf-stalk, to moisten the
earth above the roots while others
are protected by a series of poisoned
stings. The ordinary nettle, is. an ex-,
ample of this, and the beauty, and in
genuity of this mechamism is truly
wonderful. Each 1 cttleJiair is armed
with a buttle and pointed ailioeousl
cap, which breaks off in the wound:
and the poison is then able to. flow
out throogh a tubular hair, from r a
reservoir at its base. There is scarce
ly a form of leaf but is specially. mQl-,
ified by nature for some particular
purpose, and the discovery of this
purpose is, a source of. very pleasant
and profitable stndr to young natu
rulists. Dbainage and Drouth In an es
say on "Tile Drain'ng in Relation to
Floods and Drouth." Professor
Kedzle, of the Michigan Agricultural
College, shows that a large part of
the one-ninth of Michigan- lands re
turned as "swamp" by the Govenv
ment survey have been rec'aimed by
drainage, and three-fourths of the
malarial diseases that prevailed prior
to drainage have been driven out of
the state. He admits that Open
ditches favcr floods, but the benfits
outweigh the disadvantwges. To as
certain the effect of tile drainage,
both as to flood and drouth, he insti
tuted some experiments which it will
be unnecessary to discuss : here. The
evidently correct conclusions he ar
rived at are thus stated: r Surface
ditching in conjunction with deforest
ing may increase floods and contri-:
bute to drouths. 2. Tile drains may
increase floods at .the breakup in
spring, when the water, accumulates
in the surface soil by. the joint action
of frost and soil capillarity during the
winter, and the surface accumulations
in the form of snow are sudd enly set
free by rapid thaw. 3. During the
warm months tile drainage; tends to
mitigate floods by taking up-tha ex
cessive rainfall and holding it in ca
pillary form, keeping back tie sud
den flow that would pass over the
surface of the soil, if not absorbed,
by it, and escape with the flood and
mitigates summer drouths by increas,
ed capacity of the soil to hold watejr
in capillary fotm, and to draw upon
the subsoil by leason of increased ca
pillary power of such soil, produced
by tue draining.

The position of the Vatican, .wjth

.The attempts to make a treaty with
Russia have been hampered r. set

Slav question. ; The - Vatican had
made immense concessions in respect
to the former; in fact, had practically
handed over the Poles and their
Church bodily, by consenting to the

the sidewalk as any pedestrian. The
appeal from the non-suit was argued
in the forenoon. When the court
adjouned for dinner, Judges Coffey
and Berkshire Btarted to walk to
their Hotel, and as they were passing
out of, the capitol grounds a clums
bicycle rider r u into them, knocked
both down, and b idly, bruis-d the
former. .This practical argument had
suoh'.'on.vfncing ' effect on the minds
of the learned judges that they im
mediately overruled the'r uurend-Jied
decision and filed air opinion Betting
forth that a; person who "rudely ant
recklefly"! rides a bicjele against a
man standing 'on a 'sidewalk is re
ponsiblj for damages-fur assault and
battery.
After, quoting a a Indiana liff for
bidding persona from riding or driv
ing on the sidewalke, the com t says:
"II sic'ewalks are exclusively for the
use of footmen, thn bicycles if they
Ure vehacfea,i must ngtbe ridden aloug
them, s incest O" atiirmthaX sidewalks
are exclusively, for the .use .0 , foot
men necceasartly implies that they
cannot be traveled by bicyoies. It
would be a palpable contradiction to
affirm tbaf foqtmen have the - exclu
sive right to' u9e the sidewalks and
yet concede, that persons Dot travel
ing aa pedestrians may also use them.
We think, however, that a bicy.lt
must be regarded as a vehicle within
the meaning: of the." N. Y. Law
