HISRERCAATiO How French Lizutonant Came Back to Lifa for Honor of Fransa. “But it is 1mpossible, Mademot- selle!” smid M. Andre DBrouet, editor of the Clarion, swinging round in his chair and lcoking at the American girl intently. Outside the pale sun of & Paris fall was gilding the walls and duildings of the avenue. “No, it was | en hallucination, Mademoiselle!” he, ceiterated. “You cannot have seen ! Monsieur the Lieutenant Savard, for the brave young man Mes, fathoms deep, off the Moorish shores.” i “I saw him,” answered the Ameri- ! ean girl, nervously fingering the pearl drooch which contrasted painfully with Ber black mourning gown. “I met Aim in the street, dressed like a com- mon man—and he cut me.” ] “Impossible!” muttered the editor, | but his face became more grave. “If ft could be possible—" he “Mademoiselle, leave the matter in my #ands.

I will communicate with you again.” Three hours later Monsieur Brouet ' discovered the lieutenant, dressed as 8 laborer, in the little Cafe de I'Eu-' rope, a quite unfashionable resort where nobody who is anybody would | €0. even if he had heard of it. “Found, Monsieur Licutenant!” ex- claimed the editor. “Ah, Monsieur, | what does this mean?” “Monsieur, 1 have never seen you | before. [ am an honest brlcklayer."| responded Lieutenant Savard. i This is what had happened: three | weeks earlier Lieutenant Savard, Bearer of an historic name and pledg- | ed to Miss Smith, whose brother was first secretary of the American lega- | Ylon, had sailed from Toulon for| WMadagascar, in charge of the torpedo destroyer Arcadie, having under him & punishment crew of {irreclaimable scoundrels, destined for garrion duty his master, the man sprang to his feet | in that faraway, inhospitoble island. The lieutenant embraced Miss Elsie | Bmith, waved his hand to her brother, ' and, with an expression of forced gaye- | ty, mounted the bridge, and the ves- sel departed. ' Three nights later he awoke to find | himself looking into the mouth of a pistol. Ile was quickly bound and put fnto a small hoat. \Vith a water keg and a few rations of biscuit he drifted apon the surface of the Mediterranean, | while the mutinecrs, having first got aplendidly drunk. ran the Areadie eshore upon Cape Juby and perished with her there, i Lieutenant Savard was picked up ' by a fishing boat and conveyed to Bar- | celona. There he took the train for Paris, arrivin: cs and dressed #8 a common sailor. When he gent in ¢ his card to the admitalty head that official came hurrying out in dismay. l “You!” he ejaculated. “You are liv- | dng! But what is it that has occurred? Come fn; tell me." ! He heard thc lie: ten:nt's story in | eold silence. Then he rang for the sewspapers—twelve of them—and set | Wiem before his visitor. In the black, pennit staring headlines, Licutenant Savard ' nation we present to our readers, | Rarned that the Arcadie was a wreek, and that he, standing upon the bridge, Bad perished nobly, as became an of- ficer of France. A monument was to de erected in his honor in the Champs Elysees. The land rang with his aame. “Well?" inquired Savard, looking up | with a smile. . *Well!” reiterated the head of the { Meciterranenn tie editor redden! the a gon my doar fcllow ing her pretty o thinks yeu Ivis i You those epi- 't you are Lyer!

The cditer, who had a lurge experience of human nuture, vaited for the fit to pass. Presently the licutenant looked up. “Yeur word of honor, Drouet, that ~ you will hold this szcred?” he asked. Then, when Drouet gave it to him, he told him the entire story. “But you shall live for France,” cried M. Brouet. “Now, Monsieur Lieutenant,” he continued, “suppose I glve you back your rank and com- . mand—nay, suppote I have you pro- motcd to be a captain, with a salary suflicicnt to enable you to marry Mademoiselle Smeeth, the fair pro- duct of that barbarous nation across the water.

Go home. Tomorrow morning at 11 o'clock be waiting in your parade uniform, out- side your residence. Then you will see what you will see.” He refused to offer any explanation of this enigma, and the unfortunate lieutenant, slightly cheered, but still disconsolate, took himself homeward as the clocks of the capital were striking midnight. In his rooms, as he had expected, he found his valet, entertaining & cholce party of hack-drivers and but- lers around his card table. in terror, his teeth chattering. “Monsfeur!” he gasped. thought you were dead!” “So I percelve,” replied the licuten- ant amiably. “Continue your game, gentlemen.” “0, no, Monsifeur. 1 am overcome.

But Lieutenant Savard could not re- main inside his tiny room. The thought of his ruined life, of his flancee, irrevocably lcst to him, filled Bis heart with terrible grief. He roamed the streets in laborer's guise, striving desperately by physical wearf- mess to forget, to induce sleep.

The lieutenant started. “What is it?” he asked, paling. “jt is the procession of citizens coming to escort thee in triumph to ilroute. “Embrace me. Vive la France!
