as good fellow, possessed Of all the vir-
tues Of French student, and very few Of
his vices. Neither Friedrich nor Chrs-
tian married, but lived bachelors lives,
the one boarding his gold, the other
spending his silver freely. Mina's father,
Hermann was carpenter, and was, like
his brother Christian, generous and un-
thinking. His wife died soon after child
birth, and all his life seemed wrapped
up in Nina, whom, in the tender German
way, he used to call his little passion
flower. So life in Ellguth went on lowly
and lovingly, while in Breslau Friedrich
heaped up wealth. Six years ago Mina's
father died, poor as poor could be, and
as the younger brother could not afford
to keep Nina, the all-important question
was, what would become of the young
girl.
At that time wild stories Of American
wealth, the III Dorados of the lar West,
we're in every German village, and it was
decided that she should seek her fortune
here. After DAYS of begging and prayer
the younger brother, Christian, prevailed
on the miserly Friedrich to give him the
few dollars requisite to pay Mina's pas
sage TO this country, and she came. She
a., ,lsaS
governess, and had saved some money,
when she met a man who caused her ruin.
Her pride still clung to her, and when
she went to work III the concert saloon
she changed her name from Nina Pal
lersberg to Minnie White. There she
remained, not writing to her uncle Chris
tian, from day to day thinking of early
nome, and praying that she might be
some time able to return to it, and die
there.
In Germany other scenes were trans
piripg. AS he grew old, Friedrich, the
miser, found his wealth cloying, and Oft
en- thought of the little Nina who used to
prattle in her childish way to him years
and years before. In moment of hu-
man love, transitory but yet enough for
the purpose, he made a will, naming
Herr Reischel as administrator of it, in
which he left his property to his brother
Christian and his niece Nina, somewhere
in America. This was three years ago.
A year ago be had quarrel with the
brother Christian, owing to the latter's
having enlisted in Prussan regiment of
.he line, and notified Herr Reischel that
be would make another will. But before
le executed this other will, one morning
n the house of Friedrich Pallersberg, in
Unfeldt Strasse, Breslau, the occupant
vas found dead in his arm chair, his
light lamp burning on the table beside
lim, and some promissory notes clutched
n his hand.
OF course the former will was valid,
md Herr Graf Won Reischel at once
,ought for Christian Pallersberg. But
back from the headquarters of the regi-
nent came the sorrowful return of the
Adiutant. christian Pallersberg, born
N Ellguth, 40 years old, color bearer,
lead, killed at Woerth, buried on the
ield, number 9,S27." So that Nina,
whose whereabouts was unknown, was
,he sole heiress. How to find her was
.he puzzle.
Herr Won Reischel started for this
and arrived here month ago.
He at once employed the detective men,
toned, and set to work to unravel the
mystery of the girls whereabouts. The
detective was furnished with a picture of
,he girl taken five years ago, and his SUI
perior power of analysis soon gave him
clue to the whereabouts of the girl, or at
Ill events to her fate. He discovered
he first place where she had done SER
vice under her own name of Nina Pal
ersberg. From this he traced her to
wo other situations she had held, and :
inally to the house of Mrs. Langfried in
