the people couldn't possibly spare me
over Il day at a time. I was ut the

along. There was a drove of eight
elephants III the menagerie, and as I
stood before them I wanted to do some
thing awfully smart. One of the beasts
was reaching out with his trunk for
cakes, and l determined to- give him
a lighted cigar. An old gray-haired
farmer who stood by and twigged my
game uttered a word Of caution, but l
wasn't taking advice from hayseeds
at that epoch"
"And you carried out your plans, eh?"
II did. I puffed on the weed until it
had lots Of fire, hid it behind me for a
minute, and when the elephant reached
again I let him have it fire end first.
Something happened, of course. I had
just commenced to grin and look
around for applause when that probos-

high in the air, and then I was flung

the place was SO changed that he
wondered If he should find his way.
No one was abroad in, this quarter.
The chains of the lamps suspended
across the streets We're snow laden;
the roofs and chimneys were shapeless
under their silver-like mantle, and the
windows and doors were deeply framed
in snow, while every bit Of carving,
every projecting bracket had taken col
ossal dimensions with the dazzling coy-
ering.
As Lorenz went out, he saw more
than one house where the open door,
way and marks of footsteps showed
that the invaders had not been idle;
but all was still. He shuddered to
think that there might be silent wit
nesses with gaping wounds within some
Of those snOw-framed windows.
But he could not stay to- seek for
dead or dying; for him Freitenberg held
only Magdalena; and at last, out of
breath, and with snow-clogged feet, he
reached the angle of the street she lived
in. Lorenz stopped, and from his heart
went up a cry of Joy and thanksgiving.
1t seemed to him that he beheld a mir
acle. A silvery ia had drifted till
a solid wall of snow reached not only
the door and lower windows Of the
house, but covered over the oriel.
A track of footsteps showed that the
street had been visited during the night,
but the snow had SO blocked the house
that the work Of breaking through such
a barrier had, no doubt, seemed too
fatiguing to the tired Frenchmen.
LOrenZ went closer, and saw how

II must get help" he said; 1.-The snow

He turned away and then looked back
at the windows above the snow wall
The door beneath the gable was opening
slowly. He held his breath, and then
he saw Magdalena smiling down on him
! with shining eyes.
Are you safe-quite safe? Thank
Cod" she cried. And her tears fell
like rain.
/ He kissed his hand and waved it to
ward her. II 60 for help, my beloved
he called out.
/ But it took Lorenz some time to gel
the help he needed.
When the trumpet notes told the PEG
pie Of Freitenberg that the French
were really in the town, they had hid
den away in cellars and other places
and many of them had to be aroused
from deep sleep.
At last Lorenz got some men tt
come with shovels and pickaxes ant
the door into the courtyard was opened
Magdalena and Franz were waiting
for him in the courtyard, and the boy!
eyes filed with tears as he threw hi
arms around LorenZ.

man said.

Franz laughing. "Never mind abou

Mixtures Of Silk and Wool.

Poplins, which has recently been es
pecially successful under the name Of
bengaline, are among the most elegant
and popular silk and wool goods known.
BY the process of manufacture, the
silk is thrown on the surface and the
wool is used Is a filling, so that the
same strain does not come equally upon
both materials. This is a far better
way to mix silk and wool than where
wool is welt and silk the wool. 1t
must be stated as strongly as possible,
however, that mixtures are lever as
desirable as cloth woven Of one mate
rial. A dress of linen is better than
n of silk and linen. A dress of cot
ton is better than one of wool and cot
ton, and a dress of pure wool is better
than one Of silk and wool.-Good
