THAT was really the case with one of my

About hundred years ago." she began,
my mothers great aunt tho Countess Won

in Il castle in Germany. They were once i'll.
vitcd to a wedding, which was to take place
by torchlight, according to the old German
custom. They did not, accordingly, set

them on the evening of the wedding. But

"Of course no moro was said about going
to tho wedding, and tho horses heads were
directly turned homewards. On arriving
safely al her castle the good mother thanked
God who had preserved her and those

who had warned her in time of her danger
And there were two lessons which she tried
to draw Tor her children from the history o
that evening. First, that our life always
hangs ON as weak thread as that which
held Gcrtrudo's pearls; and that therefore
God only keeps us alive; and secondly, that
all our troubles and dsappointments are
