j THE CABECILLA j T By Alphonse 0a.ude! Z $fr4?I? ? ? 1 ? I ? I ?<V?? 1^ i ??t>1 ?lt The good father was finishing his mass when they brought t?im the prisoners. It waa a wild spot among the Arichnlegui mountains, A fallen Wk in which a fig tree had plunged its twisted trnivk form al a sort of altar, covered in guise of a cloth i rith a silver fringed Car-. list stnndni d. \ Two cracked water coolers took the placo of vases, and when tho ??.crist(in, Migu??; who wte assist* iiijr the pripst at the mass, arose in order to d?mge the .position of the holv bool?, tho cartridges were heard jingling in his cartridge box. ' Al? around the soldiers of Carlos i Vere silcnfly ranged, their guns slung across their backs and one knee on the ground upon tho white berot. Thc bright sim was concentrat ing its dazzling heat in thia biirning and sonorous rocky / hollow, where the flight of a blackbird alone from time lo time disturbed tho psalmody of the priest and^ tbeservsnt. High er up on the: jagged peak sentinels vere standing, <forrJPng motionless silhouettes against the sky. What a singularsight it was this priestly commander officiating in the midst of his soldiers 1 And how plainly . the double existence of the Cabecilla, showed itself upon his countenance-the ecstatic air, the hard features, further accentuated hythe bronzed complexion;pf the sol Idier in the field, and asceticism with out pallor, in which was lacking the shadow of the cloister; small black, S. very brilliant eyes, the forehead -' traversed by enormous veins which B seemed to bind the thought as with I ropes, to "fix it in an inextricable I obstinacy. . Every time he turned toward the spectators With open arms to read I the Domirlus Vohiscum woe saw the R uniform beneath, the stole and the butt of a pistol, the haft of a Cata B ionian knife uplifting the rumpled R, surplice, *^nat ia he going to do ? with us ?".the prisoners asked them is selves in terror, sad while a,wu i Ling the end of tho mass they recalled aU I the acts of ferocity which had been I related of the Cabecilla and which B had won him a special renown in ? the royalist .army. By a miracle that morning the H father was, in a clement mood. The B mass in the open air, his success of the previous day and also tho clieer fl fulness of Easter, yet felt by this fl ?trange priest, cast upon his face a B ray of joy and kindness. As soon aa fl the service was over, while the sac rist?n cleared off. the altar, fasten fl ing up the sacred vases in a huge box, which was borne on the back fl -of a mule in the rear of the expedi fl tion, the cure advanced toward the fl prisoners. They were a dozen of republican ? carbineers, exhausted by a day oi fl battle and a night of anguish in thc straw of the sheepfoH, where they SI. had been penned up after the action, Yellow with fear, wan with hunger, thirst and fatigue, they clustered together like a flock ol' sheep in th( courtyard of an abattoir. - Their uniforms full of hay, theil belts in disorder, pushed up in th( flight and in sleep, tho dust whicl wholly co veted them from tho ?tufti of their Caps t?i the points bf theil yellow shoes, all. contributed wei to give them that sinister'look o: the vanquished in which moral dis cour?gement is Detirayed by fchysica dejection. ! i 1 The Cabecilla, glanced at them io: an instant w5ih a little laugh o triumph. He was not sorry to se the soldiers of the republic humble wan and ragged amid well fed, wei equipped Carliste, Navarre ' an?

'And this 'fixed flama annoyed tile Cabecilla, / "What do you want ?" he asked of him. . "Nothings I am waiting for you to decide on my fate." "Your fate will be . that of the others. I named'no one. The par don was for all." "The others' are traitors and cow ards! I alone did not shoot any thing!" / The" Cabecilla gave a start and looked him full in the face. ' "What's your name?" 4 ' "Tonio Vidal." ^ "Whenco come yon?"* "From Puycerda," * "What age?" "Seventeen." '^The republic, then, has no more men, since she is reduced to enroll ing children?" , "I w;? not enrolled, padre. I aro a volunteer." "You know, fellow, that I haye more than one means of making you shout liong live the king I'/' The youth assumed a superb look. "I defy you to do so I"! retorted he. "So you would rather die?" "A, hundred times 1" irVery well; you shall die!" - Then the cure made a sign, and the execution platoon came and ranged itself around the condemn ed, who did not wince. This sublime courage touched the chief with pity. He demanded: "Haye you nothing to ?sk of I?? first ? Dont you want something to eat ? Don't you want something to drink?" ; "IJo," answered the youth; "but I am a good Catholic, and I don't want to go before God without con fession." The Cabecilla still wore his sur plice and his stole. "Kneel," said he> seating himself upon a rock, apd, the soldiers hav ing withdrawn a short distance, thc condemned began in a low voice : "Bless me, my father, because I have sinned." But in the midst of the confection a terrible fusillade burst,forth at th? entrance of the defile. "To annal" cried the sentinels. , The ?Cabecilla gave a bound, is sued bis orders, distributed the posts and scattered his soldiers. Ho himself had eeized a carbine without taking the time to remove bis. sur plice, when, happening to turn around, he perceived the youth still on bis knees, ta "What are you doing there?" he thundered r "I am awaiting absolution," was the reply. . that's true," said the priest. "I had forgotten you." Gravely he raised his hand and blessed, that bowed young bead. Then, ' before ?oing away, after glancing around nim for the platoon of execution, dispersed: in trie dis order of the attack, he drew off a Step, took aim at his penitent and shot bim. Two Extremes.

EDWARD SHUTER. dome Interesting; Reminiscences of * the Famous Actor? We ate told in one of the garru lous books of eighteenth, contrary memoirs that when Woodward and Garrick and Nea Shuter , and old Parsons dined together there was "more hilarity, moro quaint and comical development of character, than ever wa- seen exhibited on the stage." In Ned Shuter, as in most come dians of any depth, there wes a sub vein of pathos, even of eyn icism. Referring to his origin, which is shrouded in mystery, he onco said, "I suppose ? munt have had parents, but I never remember having friends." ms contemporaries marveled at his keen understanding of character and his irresistible humor, and. one verdict was to the effect that neither on the French nor on the English stage could any one be found to whom he. could bo compared. Dib din quaintly said: "His great fault waa indolence, but eccentric quali ties will naturally be accompanied by eccentric conduct. Thus we per ceive in his acting great inequalities, but those parts of it that were ster ling were mvaluably 60." Shuter possessed great brilliance of mind and hated to be called upon by every company he sat with to do some bit of clowning. Upon one oc casion of this kind he assumed an air of preternatural gravity and steadfastly refused to "show off" be fore his hosfs guests. After the meal was over one of the company who could not bear lonarer to bo de prived of the free performance he anticipated said, .''Come, Mr. Shu ter, when do yon intend to begin to be comical?" "Gad, sir," answered the actor, "1 forgot my fool's dress! Howev er, I'll go and fetch it if you will be my substitute until my return." The guest accepted this rebuff os a delicious pleasantry and, chuckling hearty, promised to do so. Shuter picked up his hat and cane and went away-to return no more** Chicago Record-Herald. ? ?' * i Bears Like Turtle Eggs.

Tho Pitcher Plant. Among-the many vegetable wa ders the pitcher plant or huntsman's cup is the most interesting.
