Bad Marksmaunship
[Original.]
"Paris Is in the bauds of the com
mune!"
Such was the startling announcement
that came at the cIomj of tho Franco
Prusslan war auil the downfall of Xa
poleou III.
Thousands of misguided communists
fought worthy of a more practical
cause and when their effort collapsed
were led out In squads, placed with
their faces to a wall and shot down like
dogs.
Victor Fournier, an artist, who had
entered the army when all young
Frenchmen were needed there, was
one morning ordered to lead his com
pany to the Rue B. and dislodge the
communists from behind a barricade
of paving stones they had erected
across the street.
Fournier gave the order to march
There was a sharp tap on the drum,
followed by others-reverberating be
tween the tall houses on either side,
and the company moved forward.
"They'll have a hard fight for that
barricade," said a bystander to another.
"Louise Decbatelle lives In that sec
tion and has a wonderful Imluence. She
lias an lrou will and the courage of a
lion."
The soldiers tramped on until they
turned iuto the Btreet where the barri
cade had been placed, then marched by
the Hank and proceeded shoulder to
shoulder with cocked rifles. When they
were yet I'OO yards away from the bar
ricade a bullet sang spitefully over
their heads. They paid no attention
to it, moving steadily on, their captain,
with drawn sword, marching at their
head. Then coming nearer they dis
tinguished a woman lookiug over the
barricade. I>oubtlcss the other de
fenders were crouchiug below, waiting
a signal to spring up and pour a vol
ley Into the faces of the advancing
troops.
"That must be Louise Dechatelle,"
muttered a soldier to the man next to
him on his right. "1 promise you we'll
have a bloody time taking that work.
If you want men to tight Just give
them a woman to lead."
"The maid of Orleans, for Instance,"
replied the other.
When the attacking force came with
in a hundred yards of the barricade
the woman mounted it and, taking aim
at the captain, fired. The bullet went
wide of the mark. The woman throw
out the exploded shell, put In a cfcr
t ridge and, taking aim again at Four
nier, sent a bullet over his bead.
"They're keeping mighty dark," mut
tcred.tlie man who had spokeu of Lou
ise Dechatelle. "They're waiting till
we're right against theui."
By tliis time the troops were wuuiu
half a block of the barricade. The wo
man could Ik- plainly seen raising her
wea|>on for another shot. She was evi
dently trying to bring down the cap
tain. trusting that this, followed by a
volley in the men's faces, would drive
Uiern back in disorder. The captain
saw her object, but paid no attention to
her, tramping on. followed by his men,
till they came directly under the barri
cade. There stood a girl, with eyes
allame, her hair partly uncoiled, a color
in her cheeks, the impersonation of a
beautiful fury. Taking a final deliber
ate aim at the captain, she sent a bul
let, this time tearing the sleeve of his
coat, but doing no further Injury.
Springing on to the barricade where
she stood, he looked down on the other
side. To his astonishment not a mar
was there. The girl had been the soW
defender.
"You have made a gallant defense,
mademoiselle." he said, "but I cannot
cuupliineut you on your marksman
ship."
A squad of prisoners? men, some wo
men and a boy? was standing up
against a wall waiting to be sent to
their long home. Captain Fournier,
who, with his company, was ou duty
at the prison, stood near a platoon of
his men, who were commanded by a
sergeant. The captain was in charge of
the execution. A woman turned for a
-noment and looked calmly upon th*
soldiers.
"Sergeant," said the captain, "that
is the woman who single handed de
fended the barricade In the Rue B.
Tell the men."
The sergeant saluted and Informed
the men that they were to execute
Louise Dechatelle.
At the first Are seven-eighths of the
communists fell. Louise Dechatelle
remained among those left standing.
After the second fire she stood alone.
Turning, she looked at the executioners
with the same impassive face as before.
Captain Fournier gave the order "Pre
sent arms!" Then advancing, he sa
luted her and said:
"Mademoiselle, I am the man who
owes his life to your poor marksman
ship. You did your best to kill me and
failed. My men of their own accord
have declined to fire on you. I shall in
tercede in your behalf with the com
mander of Paris."
What men marching against her bar
ricade could not do, what a platoon of
executioners could not do, was accom
plished by magnanimity. Mile. Decha
telle burst into a torrent of tears.
The prisoner was returned to tht
jail and at Captain Kournier's request
was held to await further action. The
next day he called for her, and she was
brought forth. Fournier handed her a
pardon. Womanlike, she turned away
from .him for a moment, then, facing
him, said:
"Monsieur, pardon my attempts to
kill yoir. I did so, regarding you an
enemy to France. I rejoice In my fail
ure. Vive la commune!"
