Away in the far distant city Of Berlin,
the noble capital of Prussia, there lived in
the year 1866, not many squares from the
.SoLIoss ILat=, young man about 80 years OF
age, who had just started out upon the voy-
age Of life, as a merchants clerk. The
name Of this young man was Carl Julius
Schulz. by patient industry and perseyer-
eHce, he had 50 far worked himeslf up IN
the esteem Of his employers and associates,
that he was regarded as a rising young
man, who would some day make his mark
in the business as well as social world. He
did so, as the sequel will show. He while
attending the many pleasant parties given
by his friends, became acquainted with a
handsome widow, named Maria HessermaD,
about five years younger than himself, with
whom he became quito intimate, and When
he learned that she was possessed Of con-
siderable means, he being poor himself, fell
desperately in love with her, proposed, az
accepted, and they were married. The fact
that Mrs. Eessermann was the possessor OF
two daughters, the elder of whom was eleven
and the other nine years of age, did not in
least interfere with the propose happiness
Of the stepfather al +the time, and every
thing went merry as could be wished.
Shortly after their marriage, Schulz opened
Il mercantile establishment of his own, and
