'A gardener who was trimming some plants, hearing the sound, stopped and listened. "What do you think it is, Pierre?" called madame, knowing only too well without asking. "I think it is the Prussians, madame. Last evening I heard at the store that they were advancing--a great army." "We must prepare to move. Call all the servants, that we mag begin pack- ing such articles as we may take away." The packing commenced, but was | never finished. Not an hour had elapsed | when two armies began to fire shot and xhell at each other, the Cherbolez cha. teau being midway , between them When the firing began madame was in the chateau superiutending the pack- ing, the nurse was still trundling the baby. Madame never left her home alive, and as for the others, they were shot down or borne dewn by tramping men. When the Prussians, after capturing the Frénch capital, marched back to Germany a distant relative of Mme. Cherbolez, or, rather, of her husband. 'who was killed in the war, Gustav Cherbolez, claimed the estate. It was known that Mme. Cherbolez was dead. Her body had been foumd in the ruin: ed old chateau. What had become of the body of her ouly child no ome knew. Caught between two opposing armies, there was no expectation that it had survived. Bodies of dead Frenchmen aud. Germans had been thrown into trenches dng on the Cher bolez grounds. Quite likely the body of little Armand Cherbolez. who had been heir prospective to the property, bad been treated like other mangled remalius. | Gustay Cherbolez was grauted pos session of the property by the courts. He repaired the chatean and went there to live. He was a good manager, and in the conrse of ten or fifteen years had largely Increased the value of his estate. When his daughter Fanchette was ready to be fatroduced to the world as a young lady her par ents gave a fele champetre on the grounds of the chateau. On the very spot where little Armand bad been trundled. on that summer day when the French and Germans fought. there Mile. 'Fanchétte danced. Then came the matter of providing the heiress--for she was an only child and would inherit a fine estate~with a husband. Like all men who have ac cumulated property by careful man- agement, M. Cherbolez was bent on adding to it by every possible means. Neighbors of his, the De 1a Tours, pos- sessed wealth. and their only son, dules, would inherit it. M. Cherboles visited M. de la. Tour and proposed a marriage between their children. An arrangement was made by which | Jules and' Fanchette weré betrothed. Thie Cherbolez estate was on the frontier, and French troops were sta- tioned in the neighborhood. Among them was a young lieutenant named Victor Martin. He and Fanchette met at a ball given by the officers of his regiment, and he was afterward in- vited to the chateau. It was soon after Fanchette's he 1 to young De la Tour that these tings occurred and resulted fa an attachment between her and Victor Martin. Had it not been for this meeting with the yot'ng soldier Fanchette might have given his Bancee several rivals already, When came to a settlement of the date he" wedding between fre Iu Tour aud Fauchetie: the Youug man's father Ci led upon his notary to look into the title to the landed property of M. Cherbolez. which consisted almost entirely of a tract of land on which the chateau stood. De In Tour did not cure to marry his son to a girl who WAS heir prospective to this property unless her father's title to it was clear. The notary reported that he had traced the { title back for 200 yeurs, and the birth | and death of every successive owner had been properly attested except the death of Armand Cherbolez, who had perished on the battlefield at the open {ing of the Franco-Prussian war. But his client need give hiwself no concern on this account, for it was impossible that a baby could have survived such an cxperience. Besides, if the child were alive he would doubtless have been heard from. De la Tour was not satisfied. While be had no doubt his solicitor was right and while he permitted the wedding preparations to proceed, heffound it impossible 40 divest himself of a fear that at some future time a claimant te the estate would come forward. Of course he would have to establish his claim, but De-la Tour did not relish giving his daughter in exchange for a lawsuit, This fear, baving got into his head, was keeping him awake nights. He determined to make an effort to discover if Armand Cherbolez was alive. He was aware that by making the matter public he might raise up a fraudulent claimant.

He employed a Sstuctive agency to investigate the case or At.a council beld by several detec tives it was concluded that if the baby had been taken from the battlefield it had been done either by some one at- tached to the chateau or by a soldier, French or German. Three detectives Were therefore put on the work, one to search among citizens, another to in vestigate the French army and a third to deal with German military records. The person detailed to examine into the French army soon reported that the One Hundred and Seventy-fourth regi ment of the line had adopted a child duting the Franco-Prussian. war. That child had remained with the regiment, bad enlisted in the drum corps and had remained with his foster fathers until he was sixteen years old. Here the records ceased.

Toronto, Oct. 26.--"We are giv. ing holders of standard hotel licenses until the end of the week to put up standard hotel signs on their prem- ises, and if they do not comply with instructions there will be trouble," declared Chief License Inspector Bur- roughs this morning folléwing a visit to the Ontario Board of license com- missioners. "We find that many ho- telmen are disregarding this require- ment," continued Mr. Burroughs. "When they were doing $40.000 or $50,000 business under the old lie cense act they were very careful to observe the law, but as under stan-- dard hotel licenses they are doing a much reduced business, many are negligent and indifferent. "There was a difficulty in secur-| ing standard hotel signs when the temperance act went into force, but that is no longer a difficulty.
