for I became gradually conscious that
my hands lay in something soft and
warm; and then l opened my eyes,
and they fell upon the noble face of
my lover. lie was kneeling beside
me.
Thou hast slept long my child, he
said softly, and would not suffer me
to speak till l had drank some coffee
out of my Dresden cup, This dear
little Dresden cup! he said laughing
I think we must pu. it under a glass
case labelled 1870.
He told me briefly how he had es.
capped, and how he had fallen in with
some Of his Uhlans on the road, then
riding on to Avrondiere he had full
power given him to take the town.
Fa1ette, I said where is she?
| scarcely know. | think rupert
said she came in his way and was
killed, answered Ernsi.
Oh, Ernst-and ! shiverel a little,
| heard you cry out, Have no mercy
Ho paused, biting his moustache
and then he said
1t is the first time dear Theklai
and thought only Of you.
What could | say
AS soon as papa could be moved
we went to Avrondiere under ar
escort, sent by the general himself,
and there was made great heroine
of-why I could not see-and all the
officers formed quite court, OF which
was the queen, and Ernst did not
mind this homage, Pap,, Of course
could not make any objection to our
betrothal; and indeed from that time
turned quite round. and said the Uh-
lans were brave fellows.
When the Crown Prince--,n1Sc I
Frit. came to Avrondiere, | was
presented to him and he was verv
gracious and kind; but what pleased
papa most was an account Of the
whole affair which appeared in the
Times.
Ny invincible, Lichtenstein, PROV
ed still more invincible before the
close Of the war, and he Court and
the camp rang with his name,
Whan peace was proclaimed, we
were married in Berlin; and a very
exalted parsonage gave me away
His English wife embraced me warm
! ly, and said all sorts Of nice things tc
me. Ernst had long leave Of alb
sence, and took me all over the con.
tlnent.

As I write these words-we are or
a visit to papa in Devonshire--Ernst
comes in and looks over M shoulder
and says that / am putting down 6
great deal Of nonsense, but that I did
not make such bad match for an
English girl.
Countess von Lichtensten' He
calls out in the most impudent manner
possible; and I look up and retort
laughing
Lichtenstein indeed I tell yor
what Herr Uhlan. ycu must remem
Der that I descended from my posi-
ton when married you, for, after
all, you were only "MApEMoIsELLE' 5

THE END.
The only disadvantage Of an honest
heart is credulity.
How many Young men there are
who, like corn, turn white when they
pop!
A mules hind feet are built on the
plan Of an emetic-you can't keep EN-
down.
A Kentucky girl died with the
heart disease few hours after her
marriage. This proves that Young
women shouldn't marry until after
they had given their hearts away.
"How came these holes in yonr ell
elbows?' said widowed mother to
her only son. "Oh, mother | hid be-
hind the sofa when Colonel Gobler
