Our visit To Eysenstein was enlivened
by stufy of life. La the inn was STAY
ing Bohemian family from Prague,
consisting of a heavy father, q. mother
with the voice of rooster who has
crowed all the fine notes out of his
head, and two daughters, the eliest de.
cidedly pretty. with large dark eyes,
wavy black hair. aud charming color.
She knew how TO dress. which IS more
than most girls do east of the Rhine;
she had cherry-colored ribbon woven
in her glossy dark hair, and crimson
kercfiief about her neck The other
girls was what the Germans call a
zach fisch--a school missile, Just length
ening her fDcks. Staying in the same
inn was 3 young German n-American from
New York, who had fallen over head
and ears in love with the charming
Ludmila Gizbriczky, and was prose-
cutting siege-operations with yigor.
Before meal he appeared with posv
OF mountain overs. which he put in
her napkin, and which l, when his back
was turned, transferred, urperceiyed,
to that of the heavy father or growing
mother. But when she did find the bo-
quet, it was study to see how he tor
mented him with it. ''Oi these charm
ing forget me -nots. These delicai pri-
mulas. Surely l saw them yesterday
in the posv that a,iorns the table at

most suitable position for them. There

thus, we con- sed together in q loud
tone 10 proclaim or nationality. Then
startled silence fell on the speakers,
broken only by the snores of the father,
who had gone to sleep. After dinner,
at a whisper from Ludmiia. the Bach
fiseh was detailed to question us,
whether we knew anything of the
young man, his parentage, and profess
sion and prospects. Because we were
English, and he had spent five wears in
America, it was opposed that we could
not fail to know all about him.
Then an excursion was planned to
the lakes, to start at seven clock ne
morning and next morning father,
mother and the Bach -fisch were ready
with alpcnstocks for the scramb e. but

so much like another lake" said
Ludmila, coldly. Il have no doubt,
however. that you en;oyed yourself"
81 was miserable all the while in
despair, longing to be back in the inn"
80, papa, mamma, you must have
been dull companions! Herr Stauf
says nc found the excursion utterly un-
| interesting"
Bushes of shame and stammered ex-
cuses on the part of the adnirer.
1t rally was pretty sight to SEQ
how she played him.
We had paid our bill and were start
ing, when we saw Herr Stauff grab tie
arm OF the heavy father, Herr Wenzell
Gizbriczky. and say, with shaking
voice: ''sir moments private con-
! yersation with you in the eating room"
Then we knew the crisis had arrived.
The fish was landed. and we walked on
our way with light hearts. There was
nothing further to detain us in Bohmisch
