of the labor to be performed that afternoon rose
before her, and she said meekly t

AfteiLthe table' was cleared, Lillian left with
the gay party of "picnickers" who called for ber,
and Mrs. Grey, after seeing her off, came back to
her domain with, the old weary look in her face
and resumed her arduous toil. She had failed to
finish the week's Ironing in the forenoon, owing
to a few little hindrances, such as the skimming
of a hundred pans of milk and the washing of the
milk pans, t ho-worki ng and packing -of a, tub of
golden butter; Mrs. Grey ' butterjwaa excellent,
and well It might be, she worked so much of her

dressing of the children for school, the chamber
work and washing of dishes for a large household,

wiched between, each with ita complement of a
dozen steps or so. And now she resumed ber

lelr white, spotless apparel, and finishing only

the next hour she must prepare the five o'clock

afterwards assist in the milking, according to her
master's explicit orders. A hard thing, this slav

There Is nothing extraordinary In a neighboring
government's wishing to' obtain details as to the
military strength of Germany ; and it is notorious
that for years before war broke out in lhTO Ger
mans had been employed in every part of France
to furnish any Information that could by any
possibility be of use to an invading army. Hut It
must stir the hearts of the disaffected in , Alsace-
Lorraine to iearn that there are Frenchmen will-T
Ing to run a great risk in order to communicate
information about the fortresses which" over
shadow the Provinces, and that the French Gov
ernment thinks It worth while to procure and to
'pay for such Information. The real difficulty
which Marshal Manteurel has to encounter is that
of making, hla. .provincials believe, what neither
Frenchmen nor Germans really believe, that the
ownership of the Provinces has been decided once
for all, and this Is a difficulty which must create
a serious obstacle In the way of that goAl and
