these people are blaming and abusing you?
Shal! We with our own hands carry the

Mrs. Wolf was good wife, obliging
and obedient to her husband. As -ooa
at they arrived at home, she cheerfuily set
about preparing comfortable bed in
little spare room, to which the still uncon-
scious soldier was Immediately carried.
Master Wolf, meanwhile, administered to
his patient cooling draught Of boiled
elderberry juice, for the purpose Of redu-
cling the fever. 1t was not long before
the cold fit was changed into a violent heat,
in which the sick man talked loudly and
eenfusediy, and threw himself resilessly
from side to side. Having placed large
jug Of fresh spring water before his couch,
and commissioned Erwin to tend carefully,
and frequently to give him to drink, he

sleep close By the sick mans chamber, they
were, nevertheless, much disturbed BY the
noise that be made, and could scarcely get
any rest the whole night. As the morn

gull, and By degrees regained his con-
sciousness and on the evening Of the

was wholly made over, brought him large
bowl of 5eer.soup-a dish fer sick man,
a. which our doctors of the present day
would raise hands and eyes in astonish-

returned with the empty bowl, ~ have
always thought Stein was the greatest eater
in the town; but he is nothing compared
to our Hussitc. The soup was gone like
lightning, and be would have eaten three
more such bowls,if be had had them. But
he has not 60, dry thread about him,
and father has lent him lis mantle and
one of his shirts, that be might hang up
his own TO dry. He has no, had the black
death, that is certain, or be would not be I

well to morrow, will get him to tell me
something about the Hussites. And l
