with hone, and her enthusiasm for her art
| rekindled She asked permission, and re-
ceived it, to see the fragments of the vase
the king had broken. When shown them,
light smile played over her lips.

was the equal seen, in delicacy of execution,
or beauty of invention"

young count whenever he entered the fac
tory, and Lazinka had once remarked on his
in 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 Wegell were present, as were also the ex-
hibitors, standing at a respectful distance.
The king looked critically at the pieces
shown him, but was specially struck with
that painted by Sophie.
"HereW said he, "Hirsch, fetch me that
down, give me that vase. 1t is as good az
any turned out Of the Saxon factory Here
let me look at it,"
Majesty" said Hirsch, az fly to obey.r
But instead of Immediately doing what the
king commanded, Hirsch proceeded to draw
silk handkerchief from his pocket, and to
wipe the vase.
pardon your majesty he said, before
offer it into your august hands. Some dust
has settled on it So many persons are in the
gallery"
Come, come, never mind the dust, like

But Hirsch wiped and rcv'iped the vase,
and then, with profound bow, handed it to
the king.

few days later, he met the Englishman AID

stances as he had made friends with Wegeli;
and good deal of talk had been reused In
the factory by the kings visit, and his repri-

irreproachable character, the daughter of a
pastor in the Err Gebirge, the eldest of
large family, and as the parents were not
well Off, she had been constrained to earn her
own livelihood.
