GERDA.
by MATTE MAY.

1t was holiday in the little German
Duchy of Sclatenburg, because it was
the birthday of the dukes only
daughter, Princess Olga.
The schools were all closed, and no
work was going forward among the
young people in the fields and factories.
1t was especially their holiday, be-
cause the princess was only girl like
themselves, except for her royal blood.
At the west side of the castle ran
road, cut through deep, messy en-
bankments. 1t had but few houses,
and they we're only very poor cottages,
quantity built. At the door of one of
them stood group of children, clad in
clean, white garments, with Sunday gay
ties, and one or two natural wreaths for
finery.
In little chair on the threshold sat
a pleasant-looking girl, also dressed in
white, but warning no ribbon or flower
though little bunch of field blooms
stood in a bowl beside her. Her face
was very pale, and her hands were
smooth and dainty as any court
madam's. All, Gerda often sighed
when she thought how brown and hard
her mothers were.
1t was the will of Heaven that the
poor woman should never have the
help of daughter, for Gerda could moi
move until she was lifted, and so she
must sit in her chair and wait till thu
angels came to carry her into Paradise
"And where shall you go frst?" sht
inquired of her gay companions.
"Why, to the market, to get ou
bouquets" said one, "and then to tn,
town hall to fetch the white banners
and then to the great hall in the castle
We must wait till the princess come
into the gallery; and then we sing ou
anthem and lay down our flowers"
81 should like TO go just once,
whispered Gerda, softly.
"Why, have you never beenY" e2
claimed a tall girl a new arrival i
Sclatenburg.
II have always sat in this chair
answered Gerda, simply, and tn
stranger blushed and was silent,

"Oh, no." she replied: "I always el

dark girl with flashing eyes.
"Ah, you never wish for anythin
GerdaY"
"Ah, that l do" she answered loo
ing up with a smile, though her vol
sounded rather like a sigh. N
"What do you wishY" asked the otht
kneeling beside her. II wonder if "
wish like doS"
wish was useful" said Gerda,

LOVES ATTRIBUTES.

True love, it is sunshine,
And love it is gold
1t makes the world joyous
And fair to behold;
1t is good for the young
It is good for the old.
Love lightens tile burdens,
It softens the care;
It nerveth the strong hand
To do and to dare
Aud love, like a blessing,
Oft comes unaware.
We know not the minute,
We know not the hour,
When love may be changing
The bud to a flower,
The child toa woman
Or man, by its power
Sweet love is so gentle
It dries up the tear
1t kisses the sad face,
Grown pallid with fear,
It draws hearts together
And makes each more dear.
True love is so tender
1t shrinks from a blow,
Coming in like a friend
1t expecteth no foe,
Love, love should be cherished
By mortals below.
Grand love will work wonders
By sea and by land,
The great storms of sorrow
Are quelled by it's hand,
AS it bindeth together
Fond hearts in one band.
True love it is sunshine,
And love it is gold
1t makes the world joyous
And fair to behold;
It is good for the young,
1t is good for the old.

He Tells His Side of the "Thrilling
Scene"
Last evenings Herald contained a weird
and unearthly tale under the head of ga
Thrilling Scene" It told how two painters
at the Horsky building were hanging on a
narrow scaffolding in mid air, many feet
from the ground, when John r. Young, a
carpenter, came along, and after . formal
demand for tho plank of the scatfold which
belonged to him he climbed to the roof of
the building and started to saw the rope.
Tho painters narrowly escaped by climbing
from the scaffold. Mr.. Young dropped
into The INDEPENDENT Office last evening
and smiled as he told of the Herald
sensation. 81 was like this" he said. "The
painters, Monahan and Winscott, were at
work on the building about ten feet from
the ground, They lost their plank. and
then during my absence stole from me
a fine planed hoard which l had ready for a
shelf. When l returned they were using it
for a scatfold. II was covered with paint
and heel marks. | was very angry, particu-
larry when the men declined to return the
board. I took a saw and made several mo-
lions to cut the rope. 1t was a bluff, bat il
went. There was no crowd or no yelling,
I wanted what belonged to me, and |
got It,"

MR.. BOUCHER'S GRIEVANCE.

He Says He Is Being Boycotted by the
Stone Mason's Union.
Mr.. j. H. Boucher thinks that he is re-
ceivinR most unfair treatment from the
Stone Mason's union, and if his statement
is correct he is right. He has learned that
a quiet boycott has been instituted against
him by the union because he furnished the
stone for the Sanford & Evans building,
the construction of which caused trouble
between the contractor and the union. MI.
Boucher lately received from Contractor
Upsall the contract for furnishing stone for
Mr.. A.. G. Johnson's residence. Sunday
evening he was told by Mr.. Upsall that the
contract was off because a union an.ha
said that Boucher was boycotted by the
union. Last evening MIR. Boucher went to
the union and, as he says, made every pos
sible effort to get some satisfactory answer,
but failed. They said the matter would be
settled by the Tradesa and Labor assembly at
their meeting a week from next Sunday. But
in the meantime the contract is pending
and MIR. Boucher asked that some compro-
mise be arranged until the assembly meet
ing. He offered to give his check for $50,
to be forfeited if the assembly decided
against him. Still the union would not do
anything. They declined to consider all
offers. Mr.. Boucher will probably lose his
contract because the union, as he says, will
not consent to some arrangement by which
affairs can be adjusted until a meeting of
the assembly.
