The foresters have the animals of the
woods to take care Of in addition to the
trees There are large number Of deer
and wild boar in the forests and the venison
for the table of Prince Bismarck is supplied
from them. The birds of the woods are also
carefully encouraged and protected, and in
going along a winding and romantic road
through part of the estate noted that the

up among their branches and that each Of
these boxes had little round hole in its
side for the birds to 60 in, and counted

Prince Bismarck as . Farmer.
In other parts of the estate found large
fields under cultivation and all kinds Of
farming going on. Prince Bismarck Is q
good farmer, and don't believe that his
buttermilk is like that of Senator Evarts,
about which when he offers to his guests be
says: (which will you have, gentlemen,
champagne or buttermilk? I have figured
it up and they both cost me about the same
price"
Bismarck takes more care Of himself, I
am told, as he grows older, and sleeps later
in the morning. His rising hour is between
$50 and 10 o'clock and he has cup of
strong black coffee, some rolls and eggs
when he gets up. He reads the morning
papers as he eats and afterwards looks over
such of his mail as his private secretary has
ready for him. His second breakfast is
taken about 11:30 and this usually consists
of small steak or chop, with bottle of
light Rhine wine. After this breakfast, at
about 1890, starts out for walk and he
spends hail. an hour in wandering or
rather strolling about his estate. During
his walk he often drops in at the restaurant
and drinks glass of beer, and, sometimes,
SO I was told at the restaurant, takes sec
ond glass in his hand and carries it home
with him.

in most striking way with little apparent
emotion He talks in the same tone in pri-
vate conversation and he is said to be one Of
the most entertaining takers in Europe
He has no airs of either tone or language
and he made everyone feel perfectly at home
at this feast He is too great man to be
snobbish and was not surprised at his
great simplicity of manner.
Prince Bismarck dresses as simply as he
talks He wore yesterday q long double
breasted frock coat buttoned well up over
his broad chest and q pair of dark panta-
looms Around his neck q white necktie-
like stock shone out above white shirt and
upon his head soft white felt hat with q
brim wide as that of the sombrero which Ben
Butler used to wear. During the afternoon
he took this hat off many times, and each
time crushed it differently in putting it on.
Sometimes the wide rim was turned up at
the side, again it came down over his eyes
and now it turned up at the back or the
crown was pressed out or in. He had
long cane in his hand, and during part Of
the day sat leaning bis hands upon this as
he talked Prince Bismarck is apparently
in the best of health. He does not look to
be within ten years of his present age, and
when asked him as to his health during
the few words I had with him, he pointed
to the table, upon which were the wines
and the remains of the food of which he
had bountifullv partaken, and asked me

without other trees being planted to take

Prince Bismarck Is great lover Of nature.
He likes to take walks through his woods,
and he knows every tree and keeps track Of
his timber. He has planning mill not far
from his house, but no trees are cut where
they will be missed, and found in going
through the forest that there were many
nurseries and that young trees were regu-
larly grown.
Forest Preservation Fine Art
The amount of timber in the forest Is
accurately known, and scientific measure
ment was lately taken of every tree and its
cubic feet Of lumber calculated Perhaps
dozen men do nothing else than take care of
the forests. There Is a head forester, and
he has his assistants, and these men were
present at the picnic yesterday. They wore
q livery of green cloth trimmed with velvet,
which made me think Of Robin Hood and
his band, and the pretty wives of two
of them wore the short skirts and the
queer headdresses Of the peasant women

Miriam, her proud, reserved girl should
have gone out alone ct night positively sp-
palled her. Ferd, she saw, had not been
out, and when Ford began to pluck up her
spirits and said something more about the
ship-wreck, Mrs Clyde, with a look and .
gesture commanded her to be silent
She sat by Mirism's bedside, and the girl
lay with closed eyes and quivering lips.
She was conscious, and thankful to her
mother for her forbearance. At last sne
fell into an uneasy sleep, probably under
the unusual influence of the brandy that her
mother had given her, and when Mrs Clyde
saw this she signed to Ford to go to bed.
Long Mrs Clyde sat there watching her
daughter, her acute mind seeking for some
possible motive to account for Miriam's
conduct. That she had gone out to meet
someore-some secret lover-seemed to be
the only solution that Mrs. Clyde could
think Of And this thought was most
grievous to her. And who could it be?
Captain Escourt seemed at one time to ad-
mire Miriam, but it had never apparently
gone any further than admiration. Indeed,
Mrs Clyde did not encourage the attentions
of young officers to her daughter. DR..
Reed! Could it be DR.. Reed? But no, no,

impossiblel decided Mrs Clyde. Then she
remembered how determinately Miriam had
delayed her wedding for month. Indeed,
Mrs Clyde grew more and more uneasy as she
reflected. Good heavensl had the girl been
playing Q part all this while, perhaps not
meaning to marry Sir James after all?
Mrs Clyde felt positively afraid to leave
the room; afraid to leave Miriam alone, and
vet she did not wish to tell her husband
that anything extraordinary had happened.
It seemed she thought a reflection on her
self this strange escapade, that such q thing
could have occurred under her roof
The Colonel had gone out to see after the
wreck, but in an hour or so Mrs Clyde
heard him return, and as she did so, after
another glance at Miriam, who was still
sleeping, she rose and quietly left the room.
She found her husband taking off his wet
cloak in the hall, and she at once went up to
him.

der the table and going with him, one on
each side of him, whenever he walked about

for their devotion to their master. They

him, as I have said, all the time. They

Count Herbert Bismarck. of his vast forests
Yesterday to celebrated club of Hamburg.
There was dinner under the trees, and the
and the affair was more like an American
picnic than formal feast There were
speeches and toasts in Bismarck's honor, and
the Prince and all of his family were present
and mixed with the people with an entire
absence of conventionality.
Prince Bismarck chatted and laughed
and made jokes with the ladies and gentle
men present He moved about among them
with his big dogs beside him, took flowers
from the ladies and pinned them into his
buttonhole, and acted, in short, like one of
our country deacons at a church picnic. He
seemed to be perfectly happy, and he shows
no signs of any trouble or sorrow over his
change of life.
A Novel Honor for the Host.
The people at the picnic were his friends
and worshippers. and among the features Of
the celebration was the raising, at the close
of song, out of grave hidden by branches
q gigantic statue of Bismarck in the full
srmor of his rank as an officer This was
done by about score of men dressed for all
the world like the dwarfs which Rip Van
Wirkle sees during his 20 years sleep on
the mountain. These men had long white
boards and they wore brown, quantity cut
coats and woodmen's hats The grave was
on a small hill and the statue lowered up
among the trees, and when it was raised
those little woodmen threw themselves
down around its feet, making a scene which
was picturesqe in the extreme.
As jsstood upright a member of the club
paid high tribute to Bismarck, to whom
the whole was a surprise, and the party
cheered. Prince Bismarck made q witty
and a pleasant response, and as he did SO
about fifty of the prettiest girls of Ham
burg went up to the statue and threw them
selves down on the ground about it, making,
as it were, picture of beauty worshiping
fame. Bismarck then walked up to these |
ladies and talked to them, and the two hours
which he spent With the party was Of sim
liar character.

citizen. His whole family, including the
Countess Hoyas, the affianced bride of
Count Herbert Won Bismarck, were present,
and the affair was most charming in its uu-
conventionality. friendliness and simplicity.
But let me tell you how Prince Bismarck
looks at II years of age.
He is as big as any man you have ever
seen, and he stands six feet two in his stock
ings. He is as straight as the mighty oak q
which stand by the tens of thousands in his
forests, and his shoulders are broad and
full His frame is that of a giant, but he
keeps it from fat by careful living, and his
weight ranges from 1856 20 200 pounds. The
head of Prince Bismarck is one of the most
striking have ever seen, and his face, as 1
saw it, has a far different expression from
that seen in his pictures There seemed to
me an entire absence of sternness about it,
and his blue ewes were kind and smiling.
They are said to fash fire, however, when
Bismarck grows angry, and he can be the
personifcation of wrath. Prince Bismarck's
head is fully as large as was that of Daniel
Webster. 1t is rather rounder than that
seen in Webster's best portraits, but it
shows more than Webster's strength of
character. The forehead is broad and full
and the top of the head, as can be seen from
its badness, is one of characteristic bumps,
such as would delight phrenologist Bis
marck's hair consists of fine fringe, which
runs from high above his large ears around
this white oasis of badness 1t is now as
white as snow and the heavy mustache,
which shows prominently out from under
his large and tuli nose, is of frosted silver,
with yellowish tinge directly under the
nose.
The Princes Heavy Evebrows.
One of the most striking features of his
face is his eyebrows These are very heavy
and they stand out over his full steel blue
eyes like silver bristles His eyes are
rather fat and the flesh under them puffs
out slightly, though not so much as you see
in the face OF Secretary Blaine. His chin
is long and full and almost double and he
has way of clearing bis throat as be talks
and of moving his head back and forth in
emphasis of his words He articulates dis
tinctly and his tones are BY no means un-
pleasant He does not, you know, believe
much in orstory and be thinks that elo.
ousnt public speakers are more Of an evil

CHAPTER XIII.
THE RETURN OF THE GIFT.

IdE hETUhN OF The GlFT.
''MirismP' cried Mrs. Clyde, in dismay;
"where have::you been?"
Miriam made no answer. She was too
terrified to speak, but the quick-witted Ford
did:
1--WE have been trying to see the wreck
Mrs. Clyde" she said. cts an awful
night; we've been nearly blown away. We
shouldn't have gone, but Miss Miriam
wanted to see wreck, so we went"
As the girl hurredly and mendaciously
made this explanation Mrs. Clyde's stern
eyes for a moment left her daughters rain
soaked figure and rested on the lady-maid's
face.
"It's just blowing q hurricane" con-
tinued Ford, somewhat abashed. But Mrs.
Clyde did not speak; she raised her candle
and looked at the two before her. Ford's
face was rather pale, but her dress was per-
fectly neat and dry, and she had evidently
not been out in the rain. Miriam's dress,
on the contrary, was storm beaten and dis
arranged, and her dark hair blown and
tangled. and her face white and agitated,
and her eyes stained. And Mrs Clyde did
not believe Ford's story. In moment the
thought flashed across her mind that Miriam
had been out on some secret errand: out
alone in the storm for some hidden purpose,
and his idea was absolutely terrible to her
mother.
''Go to your room, Miriam, she said, In
q strangely-altered voice to her usual placid
tones; "take your wet things, and will
bring you some wine. 1t was madness of
you to 60 out"
Without single word Miriam obeyed
her, and went with trembling feet to her
