OBSTACLES IN THE WAY.
The season over Miss Calm accom-
paAicd her parents back to America
and Won Calm rejoined his regiment.
Before parting Won Calm confessed his
love, which was reciprocated. he
promised to marry Miss Calm provided
HE aulf Which divided them could be
brilged over. This seemed to be an al
most hopeless task in vipw Of the many
obstacles that presented themselves.
Miss Calm is d Jewcss, and Austrian
etiquette does not tolerate her race in
court society. Herr Vona Calm belongs
to one Of the most exclusive OF Austrian
families,
These were the main obstacles which
the ardent lieutenant set about to re-
move. His parents refused point blank
to listen to his suit, They made oil
sorts OF threats in case he persisted in
marrying Miss Calm, and absolutely
refused to recognize her. Several OH.
GERS Of Won Calm's regiment interceded
in his behalf, hut to no purpose.
Nothing daunted, Won Calm turned
10 his colonel, Duke Ferdinand Este.
The Dukes answer was kind yet firm
refusal lie applauded the honesty and
sincerity OF his officers affection, but
such a marriage was out OF the question.
He told Won Calm plainly that in case
it was consummated his presence at the
Austrian Court would become intoler-
able, and hence his resignation from the
service must follow. 10 conciliate the
Young man, the Duke promised TO at
tach him 10 his suite when he assembled
the throne, but even this tempting offer
did not cause Won Calm to waver in his
devotion to the woman of his choice.
NOTHING DAuNTED.
He again broached tho subject to the
Duke and begged him to give his sane
ton TO the marriage. As before the
Duke tried to reason with Won Calm,
to whom lie was much attached, but
seeing that the young officer was de.
tcrmined, he finally gave his consent
upon the assurance that he would not
marry Miss Calm unless che became
converted to the faith OF the Austrian
Court. lie went so far as to write to
Miss Cahn's family, stating upon what
terms he had given his consent.
Won Calm's mother, who is one Of the
haughtiest ladies' OF Vienna, was the
last to give in and it was only through
The kind offices OF the Duke in her sons
behalf that sho finally relented.
