BETTING her station and my own. She,
at the last moment, has sent me letter
declaring that she has changed her
mind, owing to reports which have
reached her regarding some previous
occurrences in my life. She has been
influenced in the matter by a relative,
who, at the last hour, has seen fit to
interfere. Now, I do not propose to
wear the willow for my false sweet
heart, and my wedding is to come off
at once, providing that bride is forth
coming. You are young, innocent,
and poor. I am middle-aged, biase,
and rich. But if marry I shall prom
Use to be kind and indulgent if not
a sentimental husband. Will you &C
cypt the change of fortune I now offer
you, and marry me?"
Gretchen listened with open-eyed
wonder. Was it really true that this
noble Baron had asked her to be his
wife?
He was so handsome and stately that
people in her station thought him more
princ ely looking than the son of the
Emperor! She had heard them say so
many times.
ooh, sir, do you mean it ?" she asked,
=or are you only making sport of a poor
girl like me?"
II mean every word you have heard
me say. What is your reply?"
"My reply is, that 1 will love you
with my whole heart! that will wor
ship the very ground you walk upon!
but, oh, sir, am not good enough to
be your wife! you will be ashamed
of me among all the fine ladies who
are your friends! and then I should
feel like falling down at your feet and
dying!"
~No, little Gretchen. I promise not
to be ashamed of you. will value you
because you have true, loving heart
thing which has been left out of the
makeup of the fine young ladies of
whom you speak"
And the Baronis voice had in it ring
of bitter scorn.
"Then, too, shall not expose you to
q chance of being shamed by q contrast
with them. We will go abroad, and
you shall be educated in q manner be-
fitting your change of rank. What is
your answer, Gretchen-yes or no?"
Les, came GfemDuuSIy AIOM tAe
little peasant girls red lips.
SThen Frau Brandt shall see to it
that you are robed for your wedding
day, while my worthy Fritz goes forth
in search of q clergyman.
Thus it was that Gretchen became .
fine lady.
The Baron kept his promise to be
kind and indulgent to her, and after
their marriage he left the country
without introducing his bride to any
one of his friends.
While she was pursuing the course
of studies and of accomplishments
which he marked out for her, he be-
came interested in watching and also
in helping the gradual unfolding of her
mental powers, which proved to be Of
. high order.
So that the marriage instigatsd by
pique and anger at what had occurred
proved to be one Of those which they
asy ere made IN heaven.
After time . noble boy came to
bless their union, and after . few years

ZOE NATIONAL AID.
Johnstown People VIII Appeal to tho
Government.

Johnstown People VIII Appeal to tho
Government.
JoHNsTowN, PA, July 6.-There is now
a certainty that the United States Govern
ment will be called upon for aid by the
Johnstown people.
At the meeting yesterday afternoon, Of
| the local committee with Gen. Hastings
and Judge Cummin, the JohnstOwn people
said they had decided to appeal for aid
from the United States Government In
connection with the work on the ruins.
Gen. Hastings said he MAS heartily in
favor of such course, and would certainly
recommenp it and urge the Commission to
Join in the request to Congress Judge
Cammin said he, zoo, favored the plan.
He eaid that of course under existing con-
ditiOrs. little or no money could he raised
for this or any other purpose by local tax
alton, and, as the State had no authority
10 do the work snd spend the money, 1t
would be sheer folly not to ask the help Of
Congress.
TIE local committee, through their Con-
gresham. who will no doubt be backed by
/ the whole Pennsylvania delegation, will
ask for the immediate appointment OF a
special committee of epgineere to examine
INTO the situation and report what is re-
quired TO Congress.
The headquarters tents will be folded
on Monday and the stsff5 will be of to
prepare flr the summer encampment OF
troops. General Hastings and one or two
of Chiefs of Bureau will remain for
the meeting Of the commission at Cres-
son next Tuesday. This will be an i'm
uortant meeting. All the figures and gem
ersl information will be summarized rs
far "a possible and the future of Johns
town will be definitely taken up at last.
After this Gen. Hastings will 90 of to
inspect the troops, but he will make week
ly visits TO Johnstown. The full commits
sion will be present Tuesday, and repre-
septatives of several local committees VIII
appear before them to talk over the needs
of their constituents. Gen. Hastin.s VIII
urge speedy action and immediate use OF
the money.
The Pittsburg contractors are busy get
ting ready to leave. Gen. Hastings has
taken the bulk of their provisions from
them. so they will not lose money in that
way. There are many criticisms as TO the
courfe Of Col. Douglass, because OF the
manner in which things have been done.
Douglass has been writing letters on the
paper of Ryan & Mcdonald, the rail-
way contractors of Baltimore. The
firm of McLain & Co. is new one. 1t Is
working on its irst contract, and all their
mep. tools, machines and other things be-
long 10 Ryan & McDonal'. II is thought
the new fl m was put up a. blind to stop
ths cry about outside engineers and con-
tractors. The order for this contract
came directly from the Commission, and
Gen. Hastirgs, in giving 1t TO MeLain &
Co. simply obeyed Instructions.
Two bodies we're found this morning
and one more was discovered IN the saud
pile in front of the Western Uoion Tele-
graph Office, making three In all. The
stencil around camp is dreadful today
yorse than il has ever been yet.
Capt. Hamilton, the new engineer who
succeeds Col. Douglass. will take charge
tonight. His assistant is Lieut.. Richard
son.

What the Sports Were Saying and Doing

New ORLEANS, July 6.-As the time
approaches for the great mill, it becomes
more APPARENT that the fight will be one
OF the most determined on record. There
are many 7. asons for this assertion-the
principal one, however, is the bitterness
which is felt, not alone as between Sulli-
van and KilraiD, but on the part of the
men who are training these two athletes.
The fight will not be alone for supremacy
and the 500, 600 stakes, but the spirit of
revenge for real or fancied insults will
hover over the ring and nerve the giants
TO DO or to die Sullivan has by far the
largest following New Orleans is almost
overwhelmingly for him, and thinks he
will win. Notwithstanding this feeling
there is not the slightest indication but that
fair play will be meted out to both combat
ants. The fight will take place within
three hours by rail from New Orleans.

Corpus for John F. .Beggs, lawyer and Sen
ior Warden of Camp 90 of the ClsnNa-

fusal to issue the writ on the
ground that the petition prayed for
Bepgs absolute release from Jail and
die not ask for the alternative OF admis-
sion to bail and also because the States At
torney had not been notified, which be was
entitled to. The Judge directed, there
for, that the petition be amended, If 1t
were desired to release the prisoner on bail
that the States Attorney be notified, and
that the matter be laid before the Court
again on Tuesday next The petition
on which this ruling was based was pre-
sented by Beggs' attorney, ard set forth
the fact of Beggs' indictment and deten-
ton and declared that the evidence against
