whom he was acquainted, of the preH

It became evident to the Count thjt

tender aentlmonta, and after blenalng
us both he bade ma watch her care
fully and at the approach of the en
emy to set out for Hot hoi. a small town
to thn northwest, where Almse had
numerous cousins.
. The Meuan In front of the ChltClTJ
lagunny was purhapa a quarter ot a
mile wide, running swiftly beneath
high, precipitous banks In which there
was no break icr a cons d rable dls
tame north an. south. Home three
miles down stream tha river rar
rowed, at the town of Hamune, Trbore
a massive stone bridge spanned tn
deep waters. This point was Selected
by the (jnrmnns for crossina;. Leav
irisr Almen with a strong guard of
armed servants, some of whom were
veterans of the Franco-Prussian war,
I set out on horm back for Hamune,
looking like a French dandy la my
cicgnni domes.
I found the town In great confusion.
Many persons were loa.ling up their
household goods and making ready for
departure: others had already fled. Bo
stealthily hud the Germans approached
that their advance at that point was
unknown half a dozen hours before cay
arrival.
From a atone tower on a wooded
hill back of the town I looked across
Into the valley beyond. As far as the
eye could see stretched the ranks of
the Invaders. They had risen out of
i'rusala end Baden and Saxcny, out of
Wurtemburs; and Hrunswlck, out of
Ileaae and the Mecklenburgs; and mob
ilizing rupluly had swarmed acroas the
fro tier of l.rralne, that ancient bont
of contention, and neutral Luxemburg
As I learned later, once they aU-ppt.J
upon French soli they swept down like
a storm, bples preceded them cutting
telegraph wires In all directions. The.
thirty miles .between the frontier and
the Meuse River hnd been covered In
ten hours, the troops moving at a
swinging trot. And here they were at
the crossing without the least show
of opposition.
Meanwhile the French were advanc
ing with characteristic deliberation,
their main force being then at and
around the great military camp of
Chalons, some fifty miles to the south
west. They had been apprised on the
previous day of the appearance ut the
frontier of several bodies of Lancers
and Hussars. There had been no
further reports, (the wires were cut
about that time) and it appeared un
necessary to make any decided move.
Of the detachments aent out In auto
mobiles at the time of my departure In
the lllfated lo Jaune, I could hear
nothing. It was not until montns
later, when I returned to Harts for a
honeymoon with Almee, thai I learn
ed tho facts. Our wireless meuane
had not curried. Martini's sacrllice
waa vain. The scouts in their ma
chine reached the rendexvous, did a
llttlo scouting on their own hook,
found nothing auspicious, and toured
leisurely back to Hurls and Chalons,
where they reported that the story ot
a northern Invasion was a canard.

eyes being centered on Lunevllle. Bel-

Unhindered. the Hermans swept
across the hrldire and climbed the
steep banks, paHxlns; throtiRh the town,

horse and made for the Chateau.
I had hardly arrived and arranred
for carriages to take Almee and tier
servants awav when I waa astounded
at hearing the a-allopinK of horses In
the courtvard. To my illamsv I found
a body of Oermun staff officers had
taken possession of the grounds, and
were picketing thtslr horses upon,the
Iswn. I went to the door and met a
ponderous Colonel ol Culvalry about to
outer. 1 had taken ton precaution to
aun myself with a rapier taken from
the wall of the armory, am with Uila
Blender weapon 1 fu reasonably

men. 1 bowed tri tho Colonel. "This la pri

lie pushed me aside with an oath
and strode Into the hull. He was fol
lowed Immediately by another ollleer,
brilliant with military tiatipings. The
two surveyed me Insolently, then
looked around Hum.

Colonel to his companion, lie advanced

tonight. If Monsieur" he bowed
toward me. "will but Introduce the

I felt the hot blood rising- In me as
I replied. "1 here la but one lady, sir.
and she is accustomed to gentlemen."
He understood mv lame German ex
pressions, for his faoe reddened. But
at that moment Almee, brave as a Hon.
appcareq on the stair, ar.i approacnea
us with dignity. The Colonels face
broadened In a leer. "Ah ha," he cried.
"Here la my lady now, to welcome me."
Advancing he threw hla arm around
her and but for her sudden shrinking
would have kissed her. I was crazy
with any cr. Drawing my sworn i
rushed at him. "Dog," I cried in good
American. "'1 his is the way we treat
scoundrels."
My West Point swordmanshlp was
pot forgotten. Though the Colonel
drear his heavy calvary sabre he was
not quick enough. I caught 'm In the
side, nc-iow me ribs, and ran nira
through before his companion could
Interfere. Drawing back I would have
pierced his bowels had not a sudden
ahout at tho door startled me. The
next moment I was adzed from behind
lr an Iron grip and thrown violently
to the floor, my rapier spinning a dozen
feet away. A heavy knee came down
upon my chest; a pair of strong hands
held my own; two cold gray eyes
looked into wine.. I felt that I had met
my master. Vet I protested, strug
KlIrtBr violently. "Lot me up," I cried.
'T did but protect my sweetheart from
the Insult of yonder cur of a Colonel.'
Then I became suddenly quiet, star
irg Into th determined face above
me, stnooth-stisviD hut for a pair of
fierce, upturned moustaches. The recog
nition was mutual. "Your Majesty," I
said "I acknowledge your superiority.
I. am conquered."
My capior arose and lifted me to
my feet. "Mr. Adams," ho repled with
a smll, "had I recognized you at first
I should have been lens vigorous in

GItEA T SKILL WITII TUB XEEDLE.
Women of the North tarn Money by
Skillful Manipulation. s4
Tho women of New Enpland, from
early colonial days, have been noted
for their wonderful skill with the
noodle, ytt It remains lor the house
wives of Hancock County, Maine, to
utilise tliis art as a means of earning
mifflclent funds wi.h which to purchase
winter clothing. More than a thousand
women In this county alone are busily
engaged each winter knitting nippers
for the fishermen who f-ai 1 out from
Gloucester, Mass. A fisherman's nip
per Is a heavy short-wrlsted wool mit,
with a forefinger protection for the
thumb and first finger, and a padded
palm. It is designed for protecting the
) rir.ils of fishermen who haul wet lines
In cold weather.
Fully 50.000 pairs of nippers are worn
out every year, of vhlch more than 75
per cent, are knitted by women who
live in the shore town east of Penob
scot Hiver. As a rule, a woman with
active fingers can kfflt four pairs a day,
in addition to doing her housework-
The pay for making a Bet of nippers
is four cents, which is taken up In
Ktore trade from the agents. In actual
cash value no more than three centa a
pair ia given for the work.
The knitters begin their labors late
fn Knvpmher and continue until Febru
6. She is counted a poor knitter who
cannot kclt a mile of yarn while she
is walking a mile, though when knit
ting rapidly a brisk walking pace Is
not easily maintained.
The women carry their knitting work
about with them, no matter wBat lse
they are doing. At evening prayer
meetings the flash and click of the
needles are not unusual accompani
ments. Cases are known In which
women have taken their knitting to
funerals, though near relatives of the
decensed are barred from this privilege.
As the communities are strictly ortho
dox, no knitting is done on Sundays.
The nipper business furntsnes good
revenue to railroads, steamboats and
stages, and involves an expenditure ot
aboutf 10,000 a year.
