CHAPTER IL

Young Lazinka could not forget the pale,
sad face of Sophie Mansfield; and when, a
few days later, he met the Englishman, AID
bury, he asked him about the girl. Aldbury
had some acquaintance with the circum-
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-
mand Of the maiden. Sophie was girl of
irreproachable character, the daughter of a
pastor in the Err Gebirge, the eldest of
large family, and as the parents were not
we'll off, she had been constrained to earn her
own livelihood.
st is too cruel that Mile. Mansfield should
be retained here in enforced exile" said La
zinka, who thought more of the girls sor-
rows than of the diffusion of porcelain works
and the profits that flowed into princely
pockets.
There are lots of cruelties that can't be
helped" said Aldbury.
II think" said the young officer, eff she
were to draw up a humble petition to his
majesty, stating the hardness of her case, he
might listen 70 it. He is good at heart, and
just"
"Who would present it?'
81 would"
A few days later the inconsiderate, hot
headed, warm hearted young man actually
did present to Frederick the Great q
memorial from Sophie Mansfield, entreating
permission to be allowed to return to her
home in the Saxon mountains. The king
took it from his hand, grunted, cast glance
down the page, turned an angry eye at the
youth and put the paper in his pocket.
That evening there was reception at the
house of the Countess Lazinka, who was in
Berlin, and the king graciously attended.
The countess possessed some fine china and
some specimens of the Russian manufacture.
The king was curious about these latter, and
took them up and looked at their marks.

Medicinal Qualities Of Onions.

The free use of onions for the table
has always been considered by most
people healthy and desirable veget-
able, and but for their odor. which is
Objectionable to many, they would be
found more generally on our dining
tables.
For cold on the chest there is no
better specific, for most persons, than
well boiled or roasted onions They
may not agree with every one, but to
persons with good digestion they will
not only be found to be g most excel
lent remedy for cough, and the clog
ging of the bronchial tubes which is
usually the cause of the cough, but if
eaten freely at the outset of a cold.
they will usually break up what
promised, from the severity of the at
tack, to have been o serious one.
a writer in one of our medical
journals recommended the giving of
young raw onions to the children
three or four times week, and when
they get too large and strong to be
eaten raw, then boil and roast them,
but not abandon their free use.
Another writer, advocating their
use, says: During unhealthy sea-
sons, when diphtheria and like. con-
tagious diseases prevail, onions ought
to be eaten in the spring of the year
at least once @ week. Onions are in
vigorating and prophylnctic beyond
description. Further, challenge
the medical fraternity or any mother
to point out a place where children
have died from diphtheria or scarla-
tina anginosa, etc., where onions were
freely used.

Wonderful Faith Cure.

Conneautville is not q little excited
over home faith cure, About five
years ago, Chauncey, son of Mr.. G..
F. Hague, who resides near Come.
autville, injured the socket Joint of
one of his hips while jumping on the
hay NOW in his fathers barn. The
little fellow was about six years old
at this time. His parents did not
realize that his injury was a serious
one until it was too late to remedy it
by surgical treatment. For six months
the boy was confined to bed. 8
years after the accident he managed
to walk some but was still badly
crippled. A fall compelled him TO
return to crutches and he has been
using them ever since. The injured
leg was withered and quite bit
shorter than the other. About four
weeks ago the lad went to Pierpont
to visit his grandparents. Mrs. Raj
yea, of jamestown, was holding faith
cure meetings in the place at the
time and the boys case was made the
subjects of prayers. The little fellow
says that all of q sudden he felt that
the prayers were answered and that
he would have no use for his crutches
in the future-nor has he. Last week
he was walking about and handling his
injured limb quite readily. He suffers
no pains and is gaining in flesh. The
|. Courier in bringing this case to pub
lie notice, says: No attempt is made
to enlarge upon any of the state
ments, and we give them to our read
ers as strictly reliable, the standing of
Mr. Hague in this. community being
such as to make them beyond ques-
tion.

A Millionaires Tribulations.

Jay Gould, who with Russell Sage
Is charged with grand larceny in con-
nection with the Kansas Pacific con.
solidation, says the motive of the in
dietment is revenge, and that
woman is at the bottom of it. The
woman in the case sought separation
from her husband, q railroad friend of
Gould, on the ground of infdelity.
To prevent the scandal from getting
into court the husband threatened to
produce counter afiidsvits, signed by
members of the Gould family who
lived next door. This induced her
to make her to appeal on the ground
of simple desertion. to which the hus-
band did not object. and the divorce
was obtained. But she determined
to get even with the Goulds and in
duced a leading New York newspaper
and cable company to push the in-
dictments.
This is the railroad magnate's
story May be it is correct. But it
is not to his credit if he played detec-
tive on his friends wife even to save
that friend from threatened disgrace,
and he deserves to be punished. He
ought to have remembered that hell
has mo fury like 9 woman scorned. "

The following sweet poem is from the pen
of Shillaber-"Mrs. Parting gton'-and Is q
perfect picture of his childhood home.
There's little low hut by the rivers side,
Within the sound of its ripping tide;
It's walls are gray with the MOSES of years,
And its roof all crumblcd and old appears;
But fairer to me than castles pride
Is the little low hut by the rivers side.
The little low nut was my natal nest,
Where my child hood possibilities Spring
time bless,
Where the hopes of ardent youth were form
ed,
And the sun Of promise my young heart
warmed,
Ere thre V myself on lifs's swift tide,
and left the dear hut by the rivers side.
That little low hut, in lowiy guise,
Was soft and grand 10 ny youthful eyes,
And fsirsr trees were nt'er known before
Than the apple trees BY The humble door,
That MY father loved for their thrifty pride,
Which shadowel the hut by the rivers side.
That little lo,r hat hal glad hearthst'ae,
That echoed Of old with pleasant I0Ge,
And brothers and sisters merry crew,
Filled the hours with pleasure as on they
flew;
But one by one the loved ones died,
That dwelt in the hut by the rivers side.
The father revered and the children gay
The graves of the world have called away;
But quietly all alone there SITS
BY the pleasant window in summer and
knits.
An old woman, long years allied
With the little low nut by the rivers side.
That little low hut 70 the lonely wife
Is the cherished stage OF her active life;
Each scene is realized in mem)ry's bsam
As she sits by the window i'll pensiye dream;
And joys and woes roll back ike Il tide
In that little Low nut by the rivers siIe.
Ny mother alone by the rivers side
She waits for the food of the heavenly tide,
And the voice that thrills her heart By It's
call!
To meet once more the dear ones all,
nd form in Il region beautiiiei,
That band that once met by the rivers side.
That dear old hut by the rivers side.
With the warmest pulse Of heart allied,
And glory is over the dark wall thrown,
That state!ier fabrics have never known,
And shall love with fonder pride
The little low hut by the rivers side.
