The territory tu which Jitques Cha
lHiitllex lived wax from that time till
the end of the war occupied by the
I'riiHslanK, no that he had tin causie for
fear that he would be shot for a spy.
Both ho oud IiIh wife knew that the
pn"-r which had convicted hiiu had
Ixi-n put into his pocket by some one
who wan anxious to get him out of the
way. Mme. Clialxmllei suKitested that
It mlKht bo tier husband's friend, Pierre
t-'abrl. Jaquea was very wroth with
her fur lutlmatlhK such a thltiK.
hie evening w hen Juquen came home
ho found no stip-r. nor did he tlnd his
wife. There wim not even a fire In
the stove. Astonished, he went out
and Inquired of the neighbor If they
hud seen Mme. Cbulwulle. After many
Uiiulrle8 he learned tuut flie. In com
pany with I'abrl, had U-eu seen going
toward the 1'ruHslau picket line. Then
he beenn to lament aud to curse aud
tu swear, saylnc that uo man could be
itilfli'lently gunciled against the duplic
ity of women. Ills wife had been en
deavorliiR to prejudice lilm against hU
bi-st friend, and now she had gone off
with that friend.
Nothing was seen or heard of Mme.
riiaboulles or I'lerre Fabrl, and the
deserted husband assumed that to get
rid of him or to be where he could not
get nt them to punish them they tmd
gone within the Kreuch Hues. As the"
days pussml and he heard nothing of
them he made up his mind that bis
wife, In order that he might be shot,
thus rendering her a widow and en
abling her to marry her lover, had put
the paper In his pocket that had so
nearly cost Mm his life. This failing.
she had gone off with Pierre.
One evening when he was almost
ready to kill himself through grief and
ntigcr at the treiitmeut lie had receiv
ed his wife walked into their home.
Ills llrst Impulse was to order her
away. Then It occurred to hlui that
if she had gone awny with Fahri she
would not have reluruod. !ut be had
not long to wait for au explanation.
She threw a piece of paper on the
table. He picked It up and rend on, it a
confession from Fabrl that he had put
the paper In her husband's pocket and
then Informed on him. Amazed, he
asked her bow she had obtained It.
"1 told Tierce." she replied, "I had
long regretted that 1 had not married
him Instead of you. Then I proposed
that we go within the French Hues
and live together where you would not
And us. So we went through the
Prussian outposts and on into the
French lines. On the way I told
I'lerre that 1 knew he had placed the
paper In the pocket that was found
there, that I forgave lilm because he
did It for love of me and that If his
ruse had succeeded we could have
been married Instead of living together
Illicitly, lie denied that he had doue
this, so I refused to go any further
with him until he admitted It. He did
so, and I hud little trouble later In get
ting that written confession."
"Where Is Pierre now? I shall kill
hlui!" exclaimed Chnboullo.
"Pierre Is dead."
"Dead!"
"Yes. I served him as he served
you. 1 put Information In his pocket
for the Prussians nnd then Informed
on him for a spy."
"Pouf! No mau can be so big a
devil as a woman."
And he embraced hpr.
me.
"I beg pardon, lr," he said, "but
could you piir me i little of your
time"
"For whnt purpose, sir?"
"That U not easy to explain on the
street. If you will step Inside I will
show you rather than tell you."
"Inil'le win-ret''
"Itlght here."
lie pointed to an oi-n door, and I
rould see a stalreasp. The building
seemed to le unused.
There are people who seem to have
a power to make other people oliey
them, not by force, not always by In
sistence. In this case the man was so
gentlemanly In bis request that 1 did
uot like to refuse biro. At any rate,
before I realized what I was doing I
had gone to the upper floor of an unoc
cupied building with a person who had
accosti.il me on the street and asked
j tne to go with him. for what puro
be hod not eiplalned. This seems to
me now absurd on the face of It, and
at the time I knew that 1 should do
no such thing, but I couldn't help It.
He tixik uie Into a rooru on the sec
ond floor. In Its center was what
looked to me to be a hot air furnace,
only It was neither round nor square,
but oblong, lie closed the door be
hind us, and 1 heard a click. I didn't
like It, for It sounded as though It
came from a lock that closed auto
matically. I was about to turn and
get out of the place, but my pride held
me. and I waited to be lufortned fur
ther as to this strange proceeding.
The gentleman led me to a corner of
the room railed off apparently for an
office, where there were chairs, and In
vited me to be seated.
"lo you see that oven?' he said.
-Well, that has cost me a great deal
of labor. Perhaps you think It Is a
crematory, but It Is not It Is an oven
for baking bread. A hundred loaves
can be baked at once and In three min
utes. That's 2,0"0 loaves arbour. and
by workiug day aud night three reliefs
w e have 2S.000 loaves a day. Sli work
ing days give us lCS.OUO loaves a wetk.
Fifty-two weeks produce 8,730.000
loaves a year.
"So much for wtat my oven will do.
Now for my object It la to feed the
world. You see. my single oven Is not
large. Supiwse there are ten of then
In this building alone That gives
67.3WXJ0 loaves a year, ouly about
4,000.0jO nill less than the distance
of the earth from the sun."
Since I could see no relationship be
tween loaves of bread and the earth's
distance from the sun I began to feel
a bit uncertain about the gentleman's
upper story. So I said to him. rlning:
"You'll have to eicuse me, sir. It Is
not possible for me to remain nny
longer."
"Hut you have not examined my In
vention. Besides. 1 told you 1 wanted
you for a purpose."
"What purpose?'
"Come; I will show you."
He led me to the oven. He seemed
so harmless that I followed him. He
threw open the door, displaying a num
ber of Iron shelves.: I was Bomew hat
relieved that there was no heat In the
oven.
"My arrangement for heat is Dy
chemical process. There are many sub
stances that produce heat In combining
chemically. Why should we burn coal?
I turn this cock and my substances run
together. In a short time I shall have
my oven quite hot enough to do my
baking."
"I wouldn't turn It on If I were
you," I remarked, "since you have no
bread ready for baking."
"I have something else. My desire
is to bake a human being."
This was getting warm, as the chil
dren say when hunting for things tu
games. And. as the strange gentleman
looked at me. indicating that I was
the human belug he proposed to bake.
I felt not oiiiy warm, but a cold per
spiration stood out on me, especially
when he drew a long sharp knife with
which to enforce his demands. I knew
I had to deal with a lunatic and kept
my head.
"I shall be happy." I said, "to have
yon bake me. On which shelf am I to
take position?'
"Step In and I will show you."
"After you," I said deferentially,
bowing and raising my hat.
He stepiH'd Into the furnace. I closed
the door with a bang, aud the big Iron
latch fell into positiou. Then the
room swam, and I fell on the floor. But
I did not remain there long. Fearful
that the lunatic might smother, I ran
to the door of the room, found It locked
aud could not open It. I tried a win
dow, and that served a call through.
In a few minutes -a policeman came
up the stairs, broke down the door
and let the gentleman baker out. He
was nearly suffocated and gave no
trouble. He had employed men to
build his oven without their having
the slightest suspicion as to his sanity.
I learned that he was a scientific man
and had been an Inventive genius as
well. Ou my testimony he was com
mitted to an asylum.
It makes me crawl when I thins
that by n mere act of politeness I was
saved from death.
the deacon nttcred few grunt and
slittn and came to anchor on the step
The widow was looking fine for a wih
man of forty. She was robust nml In
good health. The services of a doctor
wouldn't be needed for many a long
day unless she fell down the cellar
stairs. And she looked like a woman
who would estwin It a privilege to
build the kitchen fire every morning
for four weeks after the groundhog
had come out and seen his shadow.
Yes, she was all right, and the deacon
opened his mouth and said:
"Wldito 8iHner. me an' you have
known each other a long time."
"Ye, deacon."
"Long before either one of us was
married."
"Yes."
"And I guess we alius sorter liked
each other."
"Yes."
"And now Al Is dead and Martha Is
dead and we are lonesome, wldder.
Why shouldn't we"
She waited, but he stopped right
there. There was Sister Nancy. Hadn't
be better sound her aud see how she
was going to take It? Yes, that would
be the wisest way. He therefore be
gan to talk about the drought and
other things, and after working for an
other hour he went home. He didn't
apeak to Nancy-not on that subject
She was trying to get supper with green
wood, and she was hopping mad. He
split up a dry board for her aud blew
up the fire, but he had lived long
enough to know that when a woman
gets real mad she must have at least
a day to get over It Next morning
Nancy was so chipper that he decided
to take his chances without speaking
to her on the subject.
In the 'afternoon the deacon did
some more hoeing, and tliere was an
other talk ou the steps. Yes, the Wid
ow Snooner well rememljered his tak
ing her to Slling school tn the old
days. She remembered their sliding
hills together; she could recall the red
apples he used to give her.
"Happy days them was, widder
happy days." he sighed.
"Yes. they were."
"But now you are a wldder and I am
widower."
"Yes."
"And both of us goldurned lone
some." "I am sometimes very, very lonesome."
"But we needn't be, wldder-wt
needn't be. S'ioslu' "
"Well?'
He couldn't go ahead. The thought
had Just struck him that she uilfciit
have a wooden leg or a stiff knee and
would make that an excuse for not
doing the washiug and Ironing. He
could dimly remember hearing that
she had fallen from au apple tree and
broken a bone somewhere. He would
wait and make Inquiries. It thus came
about that he went home again with
nothing decided. Now. the deacon was
a great county fair man. He always
had an exhibit of chlckeus, eggs or
vegetables. He believed that If any
thing could save this world from the
fate of Sodom It was the Methodist re
ligion and a county fair held-every Oc
tober. At that very moment he was
raising a prize cucumber to exhibit. It
was only a foot long now, but It would
be a rod in length before time for pull
lng.
Deacon Gray let a week go past with
out seeing the Widow Spooner. He got
up one morning aud stepped outdoors
to Inhale the fragrance of the air be
fore sitting dowu to breakfast. About
the first thing his eyes lighted on was
a woman standing over his prize cu
cumber. It was the Widow Spoouer.
She had an ax on her shoulder, nnd her
law was set.
"Why, wldder, what does this mean?"
asked the deacon as he sauntered out
to her.
"You have the same as asked me to
marry you." she replied as she spat on
her hands aud flourished the ax.
"But uot right out."
"But near enough. Deacon, when Is
It to be?"
"I can't sav. What are you doing
with the ax?"
"Iu two weeks, deacon, or 1 cuop
your prize cucumber In two!"
"Lordy, womau!"
"Do I chop?"
"You wouldn't go to chop that cu"-
"Two weeks, deacon, or three or
four? Speak quick!"
"Waal, say about three!"
And three It was. and. though Nancy
raised a fuss aud had to be carried out
and dumped over the fence, the couple
have lived happllr together for years.

When blooming by tmJ garden wall
