BERTHINE’S PRISONERS
(Continned )
It“would have resisted the assault of a | catapult. The forest-girl heard him go down and the soldiers came up the ladder one by one to examine the lock, but decid- ed that it would be useless to attempt to break it. Then they returned and talked the matter over among themselves.
The young woman listened, but hearing
nothing, went outside to await her father. A distant barking reached her ears. She | whistled like a huntsman, and two |
enormous dogs sprang out of the shadowsand |
feet.
played at her She seized them. by the collar to prevent them from running away, and called aloud, ‘“‘Ohe, papa !”
A voice from the forest answered, ‘‘Ohe, Berthine !”
She waited a little while and again call-
ed out, “‘Ohe, papa l—and the response came again, ‘“‘Ohe, Berthine.”
‘Then she came to him ina voice of warn- ng, ‘‘Don’t pass too near the air-hole !
here are Prussians in the cellar.” Present- ly the tall figure of the forester was visible on the left, standing out plainly against the trunks of the trees.
He asked with anxiety, ‘‘Prussians in the cellar? What do you mean ?”’
The young woman laughed joyously.
“They are the same who passed yester- day. They were lost in the forest, and I have put them in the cellar to cool.”
She proceeded to relate the story of the capture—how she had frightened them by the shots from the revolver, and had induc- ed them to hide jn the cellar which was now their prison.
The old father, still uneasy, asked— **And what do you expect me to do at this hour ?”
“Go and bring Monsieur Lavigne and his soldiers. He will be so delighted !”
The father smiled.
**Yes, he will be pleased enough.”
Berthine brought his supper, and bade him eat and then depart to the village. The old guard seated himself and began his sup- per, first filling two bow's for the dogs. The Prussians, hearing voices, remained | silent. In a quarter of an hour, the old | man had gone, and berthine sat down again | to await him. | The Prussians were becoming restless. | ‘They called, thev shouted, and beat the | door with terrific blows with the ends of
their muskets. Then they began firing—
shot after shot through the air-hole, hoping } to attract some passing squad or scouts.
Berthine did not move, but the noise an- noyed and irritated her. A tempest of rage awakened in her ; she would like to have murdered them, the rascals !—if only to make them keep silent. As her impatience increased, she began watching the clock, te count the minutes. Her father had been gone an hour and a half. | He had reacked the village. She fancied
that she conld see him ag he told the story to Monsieur Lavigne, who grew pale with emotion and hastily summoned the maid to bring his uniform and arms. She seemed to hear the drummer running through the streets. She saw the alarmed faces appear at the windows, and then the soldier-citi- zens hurrying forth, half-clad, from their homes, breathless, buckling their belts, aad keeping their military step, while they has- tened te the house of the commandant. Then the troop, with the old guard Pinchon at the bead, marched forth in the night, amid tke snow, into the forest, Berthine still watched the clock. “They will be here in an hour.”
Dr. CHASE VISITING THE SICK,
Raised from a Bed of Sickness.
Dr. Chase’s Catarrhk Cure and Kté- mey-Liver Pills Combined fer Perfcct Health—An Interesting Cure After Long Suffering.
Simeoe, Jan. 18th, 1897.
Messrs. Edmanson, Bates, and Co., To ronto, Ont. :—
Gentlemen,—For over five months I was confined to my bed, not being able to move. The best medical skill was called in, all treating me for catarrh of the stomach, but to no avail. I could not eat the most simple food without being in dreadful misery, and found no relief until same was vomited up. After spending a large sum in médiczl advice, I was advised to try a box of Dr. Chase’s Catarrh Cure. I said it was no use, for I considered mine a hopeless case from which I could not recover. At length I pur- chased a box from J. Austin and Com- pany, Simcoe, and to my surprise found great relief. Not being able to eat I tried a box of Dr. Chase’s Kidney-Liver Pills; the pains left me the third day. My appetite has been fully restored. I consider myself perfectly cured, and feel as well as when a young woman, although I am 65 years old at present. I was almost a shadow, now I am as fleshy as before my sickness. Have used only three boxes of Dr. Chase’s Kidney-Liver Pills, and only two boxes of Dr. Chase’s Catarrh Cure. I can do my house work as usual. I am positive that my marvellous cure (which I think it is) ig due purely to Dr. Chase’s remedies, which I have used. I can honestly recommend the same te any persons suffering from symptoms similar to miné. Wishing you every success.
Yours, truly,
MRS. ANN CHURCHILL, 5r.

A nervous impatience was overwhelmiuy her. The minutes appeared interminable. **How terribly long they were !”
At last the time which she had fixed for them to appear with her father had arrived. She opened the door and listened. A snadow marched cautiously toward her. She gave a ery of joy. It was her father.
‘They have sent me to see if there is any change.”
‘*No, father.”
He disappeared again into the darkness
of the forest and gave a shrill whistle, which echoed back and forth among the great branches. Something brown come from under the trees slowly. Jt was. the
The eir- warned those
advance-guard composed of ten men
forester warned them to beware of the hole. Each squad in turn who followed, until the entire troop of 200 men appeared, carrying 200 guns. Mon sieur Lavigne, agitated and trembling, dis posed of his men in a fashion to entirely surround the house, leaving a large space in front of the most formidable a-hole, on a level with the ground. Then he went in-
side the house to discover the strength and attitude of the enemy, who had suddenly become so silent that one
might believe they had vanished through the air-hole.
Monsieur Lavigne stamped upon the trap- door and called out, ‘‘Monsieur lofficier Prussien !”
The German did not reply.
The commandant repeated, ‘Monsieur lotticier Prussien”—but he called in vain.
For twenty minutes he summoned these silent mer to give themselves up, with their arms, promising them their lives and all military honors for the officer and his men. but he received no sign either of consent or of hostility. The situation was becoming difficult. The citizen-soldiers were marching over the snowy ground, back and forth, beating their arms across their shoulders like coachmen, in order to keep warm. They watched the air-hole,with an increasing and inexplicable desire to pass near it. One or two did pass perilously near it. One very agile fellow made a leap and sprang past the dangerous spot.
There was no result. The prisoners acted like dead men. They made absolutely no movement. A voice cried out, ‘‘There is no one there.” Then another soldier ven- tured to pass the hole, and then another, until it becam@a sort of play for them. They made the snow fly from their heels as they ran, shaking their feet. They had built a great fire out of the dead wood from the torest, and when running they were in Some one called to the fat baker, whose figure was the ridi- culeof the village, ‘‘Now you try it, Mal- versen.”
He hesitated, and they tormented him until he, too, set out to make the dash past the air-hole of the cellar, with a regular gymnastic step, his large body shaking. ‘Lhe whole detachment laughed until tears came and all cried ‘‘Bravo, bravo.” He had finished two-thirds of his journey, when e long flame shot out of the air-hole, red and blinding. There was a deafening sound, and the enormous baker fell with a howl, flat on his nose. No one ran to his assistance, and he managed to drag himself in the snow, groaning, until
he escaped the danger line, when he fainted. A ball had entered the calf of his leg.
After ths first shock and surprise they all laughed again; but the commandant ap- preached from the door of the forester’s hut, to order a new plan of attack. He shouted in a shrill voice for the plumber and his workmen.
Three men approached,
‘Take down the gutter-pipe from the house,”
In a quarter of an hour they had taken down twenty metres of pipe from the house, and had inserted it, with many precautions against surprise, into a narrow opening of the air-hole, then they conducted the water from the hydrant through the pipe, and Monsieur Lavigne announced that he was going to offer the Prussians a drink of water.
A wild cry of admiration greeted the commandant, followed by peals of laughter. The Frenchmen pumped in the water, turn by turn. The iron wheel was set in motion, and presently there was a sound of water flowing and falling in cascades into the cellar. Several hours passed, the com- mandant marching up and down, growing very impatient, pressing his ear to the trap- door to discover what the prisoners were doing down below, and asking from time to time if they were ready to surrender.
At last there was a murmur from the enemy, followed by a shaking of the barri- cade, and toward eight o’clock a voice was heard coming through the aperture, an un- mistakable German voice speaking with a strong German accent.
“I would like io say something to the commanding officer.”
Lavigne answered from the window, without going too near, *‘Do you surren- der ?”
**T surrender.”
“‘Then pass the guns outside.”
One gun was passed through the hole, then another, each falling in the snow, until all six were delivered. Then the same voice said, ““IThaveno more. Hurry! We are drowning.”
The commandant ordered the pumps to be stopped, and filling the kitchen with soldiers, armed from head to foot, he slowly and carefully raised the trap-door. Four damp heads appeared, four blond, dripping heads, and four pale faces ; then two more, until the six shivering Germans stood before them, with wet uniforms, chattering teeth, and subdued mien.
They were seized and handcuffed, and fearing a surprise, they set out, marching double-quick in two squads, one in charge of the prisoners and the other carrying the wounded baker on a mattress.
They entered the village of Berthel, triumphant. Monsieur Lavigne was de- corated for having captured an advance- guard of the Prussians; the fat baker was presented with a medal for wounds received before the enemy; and bBerthine, the forester’s daughter, received—nothing !

Artillery Terms.
All artillery may be divided into two main classes, heavy and light. Heavy artillery is called also garrison artillery. Heavy artillery guns are placed perma- nently in forts, and the men who handle them form foot artillery batteries and regiments. Light artillery refers to guns not permanently emplaced—that is, light enough to be taken from place to place by means of horses and ma-
menvered by hand. In our army the |
light artillery gunners ride on the cais- sons and gun carriages. In horse artil-
lery the gunners ride horses, so that a
horse artillery battery has a great many more horses thama light battery. We have no horse batteries in our army. A field battery is alight battery. A flying battery is a horse battery. Siege guns are between heavy and light artillery. They are intended to be placed perma- nently for the time being and are brougkt to their places by teams, but s2ey are not manenvered as light guns are.—New York Sun.

On the Altar of Diabetes, Saved by Dodd's Kidney Pills, Only. |
Hardly a family in the country is free from Diabetes. Great thirst, failing sight, numbness in the thighs, bleeding gums, swollen ankles, ema- ciation, nervousness, pale or turbid urine, loss of sexual power, decaying teeth, pains in the loins or small of the back, are all positive signs that Diabetes is in the system.
Do you know how it ends? In Deatu. A premature, horrible, agon- zed, pitiful death. The victim has no peace, no ease in hfe. His days are filled with tortures. His nights are waking dreams of agony. He longs to die, yet fears the terrors of his end. He dies, a bloated, fetid, repulsive mass of corruption. ‘That is the only end of unchecked Diabetes. Dodd’s Kidney Pills will cure it.
