THE OLD, UNIFORM. . When I was a clerk in tho war do- partment, I had for an associato a man named Joan Vidal, a former oncom» missioned ;officer, | He, had lost his laft arm in the Italian oumpqigu, but his right arm' remained, and with 4b ho could exeonte prodigious feats in pen- flourish of his signature with a single stroke of his pen. This Vidal -was an. excellent fellow, a soldler.of the old type, upright and pure. Though he was ouly 40 years old and had but fow gray hairs» in his light beard, out after the old zouave . fashion, every one called him \\Father Vidal,\ more from respect than from familiarity, for we all knew what an honorable and solf sacrificing Hife he led. in his little home on Grenelle streot, where he supported a widowed slater, with soveral children. Tliey all man- aged to live comfortably on his little pension and earnings from his writing -three thousand france for five persons. For all that, Vidal's overconts--those .conts whose left sleeve was fastened.to -the third button-were as carefully review 'by the inspector genoral; and the worthy.man attached so much im- portarice to his red ribbon, always new, that be'removed it from his buttonholé when lie cnrricd a package in the streots. As I, too, at that time lived in the modest suburbs south of Paris, I often walked home with Father Vidal, listen- ing with pleasure to his. war stories while wa stzolled along. near the mili- every step-it was in the last days of tho empire-the beautiful uniform of the Imperial guard, White lancers, and the magnificant somber conts of the off- cers of the artillery, allblack and gold -uniforins within which it was worth while: to be shot. > Somotimes on warm summer evenings I treated my companion to absinth, a luxury which poor Vidal denied Rimeolf through economy,.and on these occa- gions wo sat for half an hour or so be- fore tho officers' cafe on the Avenue do In Mothe-Piquet. The old officer, who bad forsaken all his convivial babits since he bad become a family man, would rigefrom tho table with his he- roio memories all alive under thoinflu- ence of the mild stimulant, and I wae sure to hear some fine martial reminfs- cence. 'One evening-LI believe, God forgive mo, I had given two glasses of absinth to Vidal-as wo were walking along tho wretohed street on which ho lived he stopped abruptly beforo a shop whero secondhand military clothing was hung out for sale, one 6f many such in this locality. * It was a dirty, uninviting place, hav- fog a window display of rusty pistols, bowls full of buttons, tarnished epan- lets and in frout nmong somo filthy: rags wero hung-some old officers' uni- forms, rotted and faded by thorain and sun. They still retained tho ahapo of their werrers. nid Jooked almost like suspended human figures. Suddenly grasping my arm with his only hand, Vidal turned his half dazed oyes toward 'mo and with bis stump pointed to an-old coat, an -Africun offi- cor's, with a fall skirt and. three rows of gold Ince trimming the sleoves in the shape of an \8 hussar fashion. - \Look!\ safd lc.

Ib was the 'eedorld time they, had heen taken away from him. If he. had behaved himself; he. would have been an officer long before, for he came of & good family and was well educated. After this affair\ however, he lost his decorations and did not get them back until 18 months liter, through the in- dulgefice of our captain, who was old in the African service rnd had boen an eyewitness of Lia Soif's bravery. \After a tima our captain was pro- moted to chief of battalion, and a new one was put over us, a Corsican named Gentile. Ho was only 28 yours old, frosh morit, if was said, but very exacting in the matter of discipline, giving a man sovere punishment for a rusty spot on hisgun or a missing button on ife uni- form. He knew nothing of service in partiole of irregularity or lax discipline, At the very first Captain Gentile and «Lin Soif came into conflict, It could not bo otherwise. Tho first. timo the ser- geant failed to respond to evening roll call, eight days in the guardhouse; the first time he was tipsy, 15 days. When the captain, a swarthy fellow, with a mustache like an angry ont's, gave the sentence, adding in a stern voice, 'I know you, sit, und I will conquer you,' off beside the guard, 'but the enptain would not have felt very comfortable, just the same, if he had seen the blood surge into the sergeant's face as soon ns his head was turned and the lightning finsh of his steely bluo oyes. \About this time the emperor de- clared war 'with Austrin, and we em- |-barked-for speak of the onmpaign, so I will keep to my story.
