When freed, it did not Immediately
leave his presence, but remained for
some time, and accepted food from his
haads. After this the rat put in en-
appearance daily, always receiving food
and making demonstrations Of pleasure
at his presence. f' sF'''o'2hf ~
One night he was awakened from o
sound sleep by gentle but impotuous
scratching ofhis head. He was at first
alarmed thinking it supernatural
visitation, but recovering himself he oisot
about asccrtaining the source of hisrdis-
turbance. At this time his attention
was drawn to o noise that he was soon
convinced was caused by an attempt to

softly he put his revolver 10 the key

trees of the Black Forest. He had
been to carry load to castle near,
and was now Fastening home to his lit

hard, he was poor, gaining barely
enough for the wants of his wife aud
his four little children. He was think

about and found a little child, scauttily
clothed, shivering aud sobbiug by it.

Why, little one, have they left
thee here all alone to face this cruel

The child answered nothing, but look

Thou wouldst be dead before the moru-

So saying, Hermann raised 1t in his
arms, wrapping it in his cloak ana warm

which was Immediately thrown open,
and the children rushed to meet him /.
