l was not surprised when / found
the meal already prepared and waiting
for me. There was nothing to wonder
at. Ii had, without doubt, en- gotten
ready for the man. When they heard
me moving about in my chamber, they
supposed he was coming down and had
placed il upon the table. i had his coat
upon my back, and it seemed to me
eminently logical that his breakfast
should adorn my stomach. With this
philosophical reflection, sat down and
made short work of the fruit and
coffee and rolls. And though set be-
fore me in such fantastic and ghostly
way, very tangible and satisfying and
delicious found them.

neither did hear the least sound in
dicative of life in that part of the build
ing near me. j then went up in my own
apartment, as / had begun to think it,
and examined the belongings of its late
occupant. On looking at the port
mantcau 1 found that it bore upon the
outside the initials: "a. Won d.. Mu-
MICH" AT about this moment, also, L
discovered in one of the pockets of the
coat which j wore n letter, the envelope
of which was postmarked Oldsndorf
and addressed to Herr August Won
Ddnkelheim at Munich. i had now dis
covered without doubt the name of the
man who had stolen my balloon. and
by reading the letter I felt morally cer-
tain that / could find out great many
things about the castle and it's inmates,
always providing that it had any. I,
however, restrained myself from taxi
ing the letter from its envelope, reserv-
ing the right TO do SO at some future
time, should occasion warrant it.

Thirteen years ago Mr.. and Mrs. Will

and rented house of wealthy Spaniard
named Marcia. He had one son, an only
child, who was greatly worshiped by his
parents. The boy took a malignant fever,
and during his illness Mrs. Walker in a
neighborly way, cooked many dainty things
and cared for the little sufferer. He finally
died. Mr.. and Mrs Walker moved to

The two big basins have been leaking
badly for years, and the leakages have

been delayed, the superintendent CT the
waterworks has become more and more
alarmed and has so reported.

which is situated Just below the reservoirs,
have communicated with the city ollic ials,

city that it would DO held responsible for

Ihe herman Emperor lmAEineh nc nns .
Genius For Architecture.
Emperor William has developed OF late
q new phase OF activity. by some means
or other he has become convinced that he Is
possessed of genius for architecture cf tho
ecclesiastical order. He Is devoting all his
spare time TO skimming through tho
standard works on architecture, and actu-
ally has drawn with his own hands tho
designs for the new Lutheran church
which Is to be erected at Berlin between
the avenue of Inter den Linden and the
royal palace,
need hardly say that he never has had
any practical experience OF architecture
and that what little knowledge he pos
sesses of this branch Of art has been gath
cred from books during the last fow
mSnths. Consequently the most egregious
mistakes and grotesque defects and omis-
sions abound In the design, which, II exc
cuted, would result in the construction or
church superior in dimensions to the
basilica Of st. Peter at Rome.
Inasmuch, however, as he Is exceeding
ly sensitive to everything in the nature of
criticism and keenly resents any attempt
TO set him right--since that In itself con-
stitutes an implication that he has been
wrong--no one dares to make any change
in the plans or to offer him any advice,
the only exception to this rule being his
mother, the widowed Empress Frederick,
who never minces matters in her intor-
course with him.
Court and government officials, who, as
q rule, detest the widowed empress and
are averse in general to her presence at
Berlin, now long eagerly for her arrival,
being in fear and trembling as to what
may take place In connection with any
attempt to build the new church according
to the impossible designs OF the emperor
should she unduly delay her coming. -
