LOVE IN THE CLOUDS.


daughter! A pretty fool l should be, to give
Annie to coward like himr So shouted hon
est Master JOSS the sacristan Of the cathedral OF
Vienna, as he stood in the public room Of the
" Adam and Eve inn, and looked after the angry
retreating figure Of Master Ottkar, the head
mason.
As he spoke, an honest young gardener, named
Gabriel, entered, and for moment the youths

sacristans words were directed at him for it was
