Almost month had passed, when a
letter with German postmark received

was quite unable to smother gasp when
She saw Captain Trevelyan's handwriting
on the interesting looking packet.
II must regret" he wrote in tho course
OF the letter, that have been unable to
find Herr Fritz Lieber. He seems to have
disappeared utterly and was probably an
anarchist for all we know
At this point poor, dumfounded Betty
paused to remark that she thought Cap
tain Trevelyan must be crazy. But Mrs.
Delamater declared he was simply splen-
didly sane.

Betty obeyed.

peoted and will bring with me clover
young fellow, prince, by tho way, Carl

stood directly in front of her daughter;

"Well, then" came in firm, unwavering
tones, II shall marry him myself No

Mrs. Delamater.

where she WAS sitting, at the piano; and
the prince, with his Haxen5 curls disheveled
and his blue eyes shining. Was preparing
to sing. IS
It was the song about the young man
and maiden who were divided, and gloom
prevailed, and then the young man was
restored to the maiden, and happiness
reigned supreme.
