By RYLAND BEALE
Copyrlnht. 1910. by American Prsss
Association.
When the I'russiuus invaded France
lursiiiil MucMuuon sunt out Lieuten
ant Boyer, a member of bis stuff, to
Beure lufunuutlun of the enemy'
numbers, til equipment, routes of
murtb, etc. Young Buyer was Just
nineteen yeurs old. possessed a peaenjr
complexion, uot even the downiest
beard und was tinmen from a number
of voluuteers becuuse be could be suc
cessfully disguised as a girl. When
be wus made up to represent a demoi
selle of the middle class all the offi
cers of the stuff declared tbat be made
the prettiest woman they had ever
seen.
Soon after his departure Lucille Dem
orest (young Iloyer) stopped one day
at a bouse on a road that the Prus
sian army was expected to pass and
said tbat she bad started to go to visit
a married sister who lived farther east
ward; but, hearing of the coming troops,
she was afraid to go any farther. She
begged that she might be taken In till
the army had passed nnd the road
would be clear. , Her request was
granted, and she was temporarily re
ceived into tbo family.
There was in this house Jules Tou
cher, a lout of a fellow, who must
needs fall desperately in love with the
so called Lucille. Lieutenant Boyer,
Instead of being pleased with the
young man's attentions, was In dread
of them, fearing they would betray
him. But the more he snubbed the fel
low the more he persisted. Then came
the Prussians, and n general of division
made his headquarters for a couple of
days, waiting for that portion of the
army to which he belonged to come
up, in the very house where Boyer wis
stopping.
Boyer desired to secure some place
where be could overhear any conver
sation tbat might take place in the
general's room. There was no adjoin
ing apartment to which the spy could
gain access, but the cellar offered a
very convenient method. Watching till
the general's quarters were temporar
ily vacant, having procured an auger,
ho bored a hole in the floor.
As luck would have It, that very
evening the general called bis brigade
commanders to his headquarters for
Instructions. Boyer saw them coming
In and went down into the cellar, tak
ing care that be was not seen to go
there, lie was standing on a box
with his ear near the hole he had
made when the cellar door opened and
down came Jules Toucher with a can
dle for an armful of firewood. There
were but two rooms in the cellar, and
Boyer could not effect a hiding. Being
In the room under the general's quar
ters and fearing to be heard by those
above, he advanced to meet Jules.
"Why, what ore you doing down
here alone in the dark?" asked the lat
ter. Boyer, thinking the young man sym
pathized with the French cause, con
cluded to tell him that "she" was there
to learn Prussian war secrets.
Now, It happened that Jules tbat
very day had offered the Prussian gen
eral some information concerning the
French army for a consideration. He
didn't care if Lucille gave information
of the Prussians to the French; but,
seeing a good opportunity to press his
suit, he resolutely set to work to do so.
"Give me a kiss," he said.
"Walt a momeut and I will," replied
Boyer. The lieutenant looked about
till he found a bit of wood about two
Inches long. Then, returning to Jules,
who had set down the candle, Boyer
let drive a blow, taking Jules under
the chin a boxing feut be had learned
in the army athletic training school
and landed htm on the floor. Before
Jules knew what had transformed a
beautiful girl Into such a fury Boyer
sat on him, pulled open his Jaws and
Inserted the stick he had secured for
a gag. There was a clothesline In the
cellar, and before Jules had time to
recover from his surprise Boyer seized
It and got It around his captive's
body outside his arms. Having se
cured these, to tie his legs was a com
paratively easy matter.
Jules was now In a position where
he could neither Interfere with the
spy's movements nor make a noise.
The latter mounted his box. put his
ear to the nuger hole and listened. Fie
heard enough to learn the route that
would be taken by the Prussians In
the advance and the dates of their
probable arrival at Meti. which was
principally what Marshal MacMahon
wanted.
Meanwhile Jules sat on the floor
looking at the object of his love with
Increasing wonder. He still had no
suspicion that his Lucille was a man,
but he considered ber a mighty strong
woman. As soon as Boyer had learned
all he cared to know from above he
got down from his perch. He had
feared that, wood being needed, some
one would come down for It. So he
gathered an armful, and as he was
about to pas out. remembering how
Jules hod bothered lilm with his atten
tions, bode him adieu with few
sturdy kicks, which the fellow could
neither resent nor complain of.
Boyer went upstairs, put the wood
down In the kitchen, walked out of the
door and was not seen again In those
parts. He reached Marshal MncMa
hon's headquarters, donned bis uni
form and reported the Information he
hod gathered.
Then ot the mess he mode a good
story of how he had served the man
who would be his lover.

OVER THE HILLS.
OVER the hills and far away
A little boy steals from his morning's
play.
And under the blossoming apple tree
He Ilea and he dreams of the things to be,
Of battles fought and victories won,
Of wrongs overthrown and of great deeds
done,
Of tha valor that he shall prove soma day
Over the hills and far away
Over the hills and far away!
OVER the hills snd far away
It's, oh, for the tolls the livelong day!
But It mattered not to the soul aflame
With a love for riches and power and
fame.
On, O man, while tha sun Is high
On to the certain Joys that 11
Yonder where blazeth tha noon of day,
Over the hills and far away
Over the hills and far away!
OVER the hills and far away
An old man lingers at close of day.
Now that his Journey Is almost dona,
Ills battles fought and his victories won.
The old time honesty and truth.
Tha truthfulness and the friends of yeutb.
Home and mother whera ara theyT
Over the hills and far away
Over the hllla and far away I
Eugene Field.
THE VAST LANDS.
THEY saw the silences
Move by and beckon, saw the
forms.
The very beards, of burly storms
And heard them talk Ilka sounding
seas;
They saw the snowy mountains rolled
And heaved along tha nameless lands
Like mighty billows, saw tha gold
Of awful sunsets, saw tha blush
Of sudden dawn and felt tha hush
Of heaven when the day sat down
And hid his face In dusky hands.
Joaquin Miller.
THE LAND OF THE STORY iOOKS.
VT evening when the lamp Is lit
Around the fire my parents sit.
They sit at home and talk and sing
And do not play at anything.
"VOW, with my little run, I crawl
t All In the dark along the wall
And follow round tha forest track
Away behind the sofa back.
rpiIERE in tha night, whera none can
A spy,
All In my hunter's camp I II "
And play at books that I have read
Till It Is time to go to bed.
THESIS ara tha hills, these ara the
woods.
These ara my starry solitudes.
And there Is the river, by whose brink
The roaring lions coma to drink.
I SEE the others far away.
As If In flrellt camp they lay.
And I, like ta an Indian scout.
Around their party prowled about
OO when my nurse comes In for ma
O Home I return across tha sea
And go to bed with backward looks
At my dear land of story books.
Robert Louts Stevenson.
OLD AUTUMN.
I SAW old autumn In the misty morn
Stand shadowless. Ilka silence listen-
lug
To silence (for no lonely bird would sing
Into his hollow ear from woods forlorn
Nor lowly hod no nor solitary thorn),
Rhaklng ills languid locks sll dewy bright
With tangled gossamer that fell by night.
Pearling his coronet of golden corn. ,
Thomas Hood.
