About Advertising.

If YOU have goods to sell, adver-
tise.
Havo vour card in the hotel regis
ter by all means. Strangers stop
ping at hotels for night generally
buy q cigar or two before they leave
town, and they need some inspiring
litary food besides.
OF course the thermometer dodge
is excellent. When a mans fingers
and ears are freezing, or he is pufing
and "phewing" at the heat, Is the
time above all others when he reads
an advertisement.
Print in The blacklist ink great
sprawling card on all your wrapping
paper. Ladies returning from a
shopping t. ur like to be walking bui-
letins, and if the ink rubs off and
spoils some of her fnery, no matter.
They never will stop at ycur store
gain
A boy with big placard on pole
is an interesting object On the street,
and lends a digniied air to your es-
tablishmeut. Hire about two.
When the bceezes blow, waited by
paper fan in the hands Of q lovely
woman, It's we'll to have the air red
olent with the perfume OF the car
mine ink in when your business ad-
dress is printed. This will make the
market tor decent fans very good.
PatroniZe every agent that shows
YOU an advertising tablet, card, di-
rectory, dictionary, or even an adver-
tising Biole, if one is offered at a
reasonable price. The man must
make living.
But don't think Of advertising in
well-esiablished, legitimate news
paper Not for moment. Not for
moment. Your advertisement
would be neatly printed, aud would
fnd its way into all the thrifty house
holds of the region, where the farm
er, tie Mechanic, the tradesman iii
other lines, would see it, and into the
families of the wealthy and refined,
ali who have articles to buy and mon,
ey with which to buy them, and in
the quiet Of the evening, after the
news Of the day had been digested, it
would be read and pondered. and the
next day people would come down to
your store and patronize you, and
keep coming in Increasing Plumbers,
and you might have TO hire an extra
clerk or two. move into ii larger
block and more favorable location,
and 90 q bigger business, but OF
course il would be more expersive-
and bring greater proits.

would take him to Warren and drew
from his pocket an immense roll OF

that it represented $4,000. This
was too much for Mr.. Powers, and he

"Humph" he said, unless my men work
better Shall not allow any figure on their
productionS-not the Brandenburg eagle
no, nor a B crowned, nothing but Wegeli's
initial perhaps, if our porcelain becomes
famous, may allow the orb and sceptre to
stamp it, not otherwise. / don't know" he
said, roughly, but that Wegeli's w may
pass for badly drawn crossed swords, as on
certain Dresden pots" He looked sulkily at
some fine Meissen china when my factory
is in working ORDER" he said, 81 shall put a
prohibitive duty on all Dresden and other
china, and every one who is good citizen
and a patriot and loves his king will buy
Berlin porcelain"
AS the king spoke no one else uttered
a sound, all remained in respectful
silence and attention. Frederick looked
round, and saw the young man, the
son of his hostess, and said, with
a significant glance, II cannot understand
how any one with respect for the country
and his sovereign c;Sl wish to deprive them
OF the services of the best artists and work
men," Then with his elbow, accidentally, he
knocked over magnificent and enormously
costly vase, which fell ON the floor and was
dashed 10 a thousand pieces. The king was
himself a little disconnected; not so the
countess, who, with perfect readiness, said:
Sire, you do me too much honor"
Honor, how sol'
THE vase was precious before; it is meal
cuiably more precious to me now!"
Frederick grunted, and went away.
The guests looked at the countess, then at
the young man. A moment before they
thought him lost; now, by his mothers read
mess, they trusted be was saved.
Next morning, the young Count Lazinka
was again in attendance on Frederick. The
king came to him from his cabinet holding
piece of paper in his hand; he had frown
on his face, and spoke gruffiy.
There" said he, take it."
The paper was Sophie Mansfeld's petition.
On the back was written in the kings own
hand:
whoever Of the artists in the porcelain
factory at Berlin de dato in one month shall
paint a vase as beautiful as that we broke
yesterday evening at the Countess LaZinka's
palace, shall have our gracious permission to
marry or not to marry, to go back to Saxony
or to stay at Berlin, as shall best please him
or her; and we further promise that we will
graciouSly give that person an annual salary
of $500 should it content him or her to re-
main in our service, in our royal manufac-
tory. Given at Sanssouci, this March %,
1915 FREDERICK
The offer of such salary was liberal for
Frederick the Great.
No sooner did Sophie Mansfield receive the
answer to her petition than she was fired
with hope, and her enthusiasm for her art
rekindled. She asked permission, and re-
celVed IL, TO see the fragments OF the vaSe
the king had broken. When shown them,
light smile played over her lips.
1T was superb" said the countess. "Never
was the equal seen, in delicacy of execution,
or beauty of invention"
''Gracious lady," answered Sophie with
smile, lit was of my own painting, and can
excel it. Buoyed with hope of revisiting my
home, and with desire to acknowledge my
obligation to your son, shall certainly sur
pass it."

CHAPTER III.

The appointed day arrived on which the
vases were to be exhibited. The kings
promise and offer were not limited to Sophie,
and some rivalry existed among the artists
in the royal factory.
During the month Lazinka had visited the
workshop repeatedly to inspect progress, and
he was confident in the success of his fair
protege. The vase stood eighteen inches high
without its cover it was gracefully shaped
Sophie had herself sketched its outline It
was painted deep purple blue, of the most
superb richness, over which rococco orna-
ments in gold, part duh, part FURNISHED,
were etched with extraordinary ease and
delicacy. On each side was a space where
the white porcelain showed, and on the one
side which was to be the back was beauti-
fully painted view of Potsdam, and ON the
other, the front, was Frederick the Great
seated on his charger, waving his sword,
wearing his cooked hat and coat of dark blue
with cuffs and lining of scarlet. His waist
coat was yellow. He wore high boots, and
on his breast a star. In the rear were the
Prussian soldiers charging, and the smoke of
battle. Beneath the picture was scroll on
which was inscribed:
"a reternelle gloire de Frederic lie grand"
The vases had been brought to the palace
at Potsian, and were unpacked and placed
on shelves for exhibition by the sub-director,
HirSch.
Hirsch was not a pleasant man; he was a
Jew, and he had caused Sophie much an
noyance by his attentions. He scowled at the
young count whenever he entered the fac
tory, and LaZinka had once remarked on his
i'll humor, to Sophie, without in the least
guessing the occasion for it.
When the king and the company he had
invited to attend him came into the gallery
where the porcelain was on show, Hirsch
and Wegei Were present, as were also the ex-
hibitors, standing at respectful distance.
The king looked critically at the pieces
shown him, but was specially struck with
that painted by Sophie.
"Herel" said he, "Hirsch, fetch me that
down, give me that vase It is as good az
any turned out of the Saxon factory Here
let me look at il" .s a-a

She was away from home, her relations,
her friends. Her voice faltered as she
spoke.
But" said Laznka, "you can return, if
you are unhappy in Berlin"
I"Pardon," she answered, raising her
beautiful eyes; ~ cannot return. The
gracious sir does not remember that am q

How can forget it, when see you en-
gagged on painting a vase"
But the gracious sir forgets that porce-
lain artists are not free. They cannot go
where they like, they cannot call themselves
their own They are like the old serfs-abso-
lutely under the control of their master, the
crown"
"Do you mean, mademoisellc, to say you

tives!"

But, why!"

Then Berlin is your Siberia!"
''We are under perpetual police supervision.
If the least suspicion be aroused that we are

suspected of seeking to draw the secret from
us, we are arfGsved and severely punished"
Good heavens! And you can never

I'VE know the secret and Us long as life
lasts are dangerous. We might betray it
No, we can only leave for our graves"
''This is slavery, rank slavery" exclaimed
the young Pole. did the king bring you
here?
His most gracious majesty2 Yes"
"But this tyranny. To act thus isis to
act the tyrant"
He spoke incautiously, he was carried away
by his feelings; but he was startled by the
kings harsh voice: What, what9 Who is
tyrant. Eth, chs"
Lazinka stood silent, covered with con-
fusion.
Sire" said the Count des Louragais, with
promptitude, Love is a tyrant who lays
hold of young and inhammable cavalier
and draws him from his duty to your sacred
majesty to cast him in chains at the feet of
mademoiselle; whose, your majesty-with
her inimitable pencil, has put touch of fire
into his eyes, and brushful of carnation
into his cheek"
''Humph!n said Frederick, and went on.
LaZinka followed, thankful to the French
man for his timely Intervention.
