Sarah began to hope that with hcr pen
she might yet earn more than with
a broom or mop.
She left school in few months and
went into country school district to
try and get up writing class. 1t was
hard wolA enough, but she still kept
up her courage. Finally, she obtain.

than she would have done in kitchen.
Then oil sine went to another district
visited from house to house, and she
had dozen pupils for another course

was able to return 70 school again.

years l heardalo more of Sarah. The

There is Gne old cathedral there,

conn ng the town which dates
from yne 14lh century. 1t was renew
ed during the great famine Of 1864 in
order to afford support to the INDECENT.
Like all old castles, it has its legends.
One of the most interesting connected
with this old cathedral | will relate,
The legend saith, that during tho
Crusadts the lord of tie castle went
over to the holy war, leaving behind
him young wife TO whom he was but
recently we'd. After long time he
returned. He arrived one very dark
night precisely at 0 o'clock ON tho
bank of the Rhine opposite his caste.
Impatient to behold the wife from
whom he had been SO long absent, he
could not brook the delay of the boat
or daylight, but plunged into the rap
id water, attempted TO swim across,
and was lost:
The disconsoaie wife had an inn

great tower, and eet apart large sum
