My LOVE.

I kiss him-my life's life is there.
On his forehead, his lips and his cheek
To others he may not seem fair
But to me-Oh, never can speak
The half of the heaven l know
When L hold him and kiss him-so!
Let the day be curtaned by cloud,
Ills the same as though cheered by the
sun,
If only at noon-time allowed
In play with my darling to run
To run, and at end of the race,
To hold him and kiss his dear face.
Do you think when a man he is grown
/ shall love an atom the less?
No; off in a world of his own
My own he will still be to bless;
The world is too narrow to part
My boy from his true mothers heart.

there seemed to be break in the woods.
and 1 saw beneath me the glitterng white
foam of a mad and mighty torrent. At the
same time there rose before me, from a
rocky island in the midst of the food. a
great. half-ruined, mediaeval castle, with
round towers and turrets, with keep and
barbacans and parapets galore. Gray and
stern and specteTlke 1t loomed up before
me, and it seemed as though l was about
directly over 1t.
The direction which / was now taking
would bring me Immediately above a wide
embrasured parapet, which stretched be-
tween two towers. At its present altitude.
the balloon would clear it by but few
feet. l at once decided that this was the
way station l was looking for. and that l
fifty feet of it l beheld a man in his shirt
sleeves, standing behind this parapet and
watching me approach. Some persons
might have been astonished at this, but
did not wonder at it in the least. There
vas no reason why he should not be stand

AS the balloon came up to him. he sprang
up and caught hold of the car. At the same
moment 1 dropped like a cat upon all

turned to accost him. l beheld him coolly
sitting in the car of the balloon. which was
already passing over the battlements at the
further side of the castle. / ran across the
stone platform to the edge. and called out
to him that he had my coat. and that he
must come back. He waved his hand to
me with exaggerated politeness. Then l
shook my fist at him. and he laughed i'm
moderately and shouted back just as he
was disappearing that 1 might use his.
/ was not surprised that the man had
gone off IN the balloon. There was nothing
to wonder at, for he might have had his
own peculiar and sufficient reasons for do
ing so. At the same time, however, l did
not go to the length of supposing that he
lad climbed up on the top of the castle
with the express purpose of watching for
balloons. and with the idea of taking the
first one that came along.
l now noticed a doorway opening upon the
platform. from one of the great round tow
ers before mentioned. The door was ajar
and l thought that it was probably by this
means that the man had come out upon
the roof. l went to this doorway and look
ed in. AT first 1t was dark as Erebus
but my eyes becoming accustomed to it,

ages, the oldest not over twenty and the
youngest not less than fifteen. Though
each had some trait of feature color or ex-

fact that they Were not saying anything.

seemed more like wood nymphs than like
human beings.
The remaining four raised themselves
from their recumbent positions and gazei
at me curiously and without a particle
OF alarm. l advanced toward them hat
in hand, and thus accosted them:

at each other and smiled again.

1t, crumbling and discolored with time and
almost covered with ivy, looked as though
1t were a thousand years Old while other
parts seemed new and comfortable and
showed the marks of present occupancy.
Outside the castle and the court there
rose stone wall about eight feet In height,
continuous save opposite the castle porch.
where there was a break or gap. some If
teen feet In width, wider. This gap had
originally been filled by two huge gates of
wrought and twisted iron, which, now
rusted from their hinges, lay back on
either side against the wall. Through this
open space could see the black Swirling
Hood OF the Schreckenstrohm go sweeping
by; and beyond the water a wagon road
that wound up the kill through the forest.
Advancing to this aperture in the ma
sonry, l found some stone steps leading
down into the water, and looking up the
stream l noticed something else, which
struck me as remarkably odd, namely, a
rope of iron wire, which, coming from the
highest easement in a tall tower, which
rose some fifty feet from where L stood.
stretched across the river and disappeared
In the tree tops on the opposite side. l
climbed to the top of the outer wall with
out much trouble. and walking upon it
for several hundred feet, l passed around
the upper end of the castle and of the
better idea of both, and of the plunging
river or torrent which swept down, about
sixty feet in width. either side. l now
looked In vain for any means of communi-
land. The flood was SO deep and the cur
rent SO furious, as it pounded against the
rocky banks. that crossing in a boat was
utterly impossible, and the question of how
l was to get away became more and more
of an enigma. The island seemed to be
about two hundred feet in width and some
five or six hundred in length. 1t was COM
pletely encircled at its outer edge by the
wall upon which L walked. excepting for
the open space l have mentioned. The
castle stood at the lower end of the in

the remaining ground, for five hundred
feet perhaps above the buildings, was COW

in some places, and at one point through
the leaves and branches 1 caught sight of
flower garden and what seemed to be
the white spray of a fountain.

ing up from somewhere below. 1 could
also rake out the outlines of spiral stair
ce Sc leading to these lower regions Not
being of the mind to remain where 1 was
all night, / groped my way down these
stairs, the light growing brighter as I pro-
ceeded, until, after descending, as it struck
me, about 30 feet, 1 came to another open
doorway through which l entered great
square bed chamber, furnished and deco
rated in the style of some age long passed
away. The bed was a large four-posted,
canopied affair, draped with heavy silken
curtains. The tiled chimney place was big
enough to roast OK, and the walls were
covered with stamped leather and with
dingy tapestries, which tapped and undu-
lated In ghostly manner, with the current
of air that came down the stairway. Upon
a massive table of black oak, in the center
of the room, stood a silver candelabrum,
with four wax candles, three of which were
burning. half cnpacked portmanteau lay
open upon chair; several masculine gar
ments were scattered about the apartment.
and these, together with a strong odor Of
tobacco, showed that the chamber had
been lately occupied. From this to the
conclusion that its tenant had been the
man who had gone off in my balloon was
logical step. A brown velvet coat was
among the garments already spoken Of.
This was undoubtedly the coat he had bade
me use in place Of mine I tried it on, and
found Il at it fitted me very we'll, which
was not surprising, as the man appeared to
be about my size. l should mention the

acquaintance l had with him that he was

There was only one thing that I now
wanted. and that was sleep. I wanted it
badly, and I wanted great deal of it. So
without more ado flung myself upon the
feathers of the great four-poster, and al
most Immediately fell into a sound and
dreamless slumber. When awoke the sun

deeply embrasured window. high up on the
wall opposite me. I looked at my watch,

1 looked up at this point. and caught the
maidens smiling at each other and giving
that peculiar downward and upward twist
of the head which s:gnifies-"right she is

the last part of the letter, which read as
follows: Give my best lore to Brunhilda

found that the epIstle had been written
only the day before
Here was pleasant situation to be

tion of the expected guest fitted together
too perfectly. In their minds, l was the

that 1 should remain so, unless some for

asked /. as l handed the sylph-lik and

She took the pad from her dark-eyed sis
ter and wrote:

She evidently meant to pay me in what
she supposed to be my own coin | smiled
at her nonsense, and then 1 asked her
another question::

after you had all retired. How did he
cross the river to the CASTER"
By the stone bridge. of course You

But 1 have been all around the island
and have seen no bridge"
These words of mine seemed TO produce
a great deal of merriment Some of the
damSels plainly snickered and one The
youngest of the six, whom | afterward
found was Lcrelei, a blue-eyed, liaxen-
haired little witch Of fifteen, actually wink

''Oh, you can't sec IL now, you know"

It that soon gave up the idea and decided

It that I soon gave up the idea and decided
to ride It out as 1 was.
Being resigned to this situation. 1 now
began to feel more at my ease, and really
to find some pleasure in this, to me. novel
mode OF travelling. There was q full moon
that night, but there were many clouds
floating across the heavens, SO that some
times the streets below me were lighted
up, and at other times were shroY0ed in
dan kness. I halooed at two or three be-
lated pedestrians who were passing beneath
me, and, noticing their astonishment and
dismay at being thus hailed from the
clouds above their heads. 1 took pains to
accost others in the same manner. Two
old ladies who were plcdding homeward by
the light OF a lantern which one of them
carried were so startled by this diabolical
summons from the upper air that they
dropped the light and took to their heels
as II they were competing in the Olympian
races.
In about five minutes l had passed be-
ycnd the town in southerly direction, and
in four or five minutes more l began to
feat above dense black forest. which
seemed limitless in extent. 1 had heard Of
great forest thercabout, containing many
square miles. forest which was the do
main of strange and fierce old German
noble, the Graf Won Schreckenstrohm. This
was undoubtedly it. 1t had descended to
him directly from an ancestor who lived
in the thirteenth century: a feudal baron
who bore the sobriquet of 'the wild boar of
Schreckenstrohnl.' 1t was also said that
the present Gra1 Won SclreckenS trOhm had
inherited not only the forest and the great
leudal castle which stood upon an island in
the midst of the Schreckenstrohnl. but also
the pec,lliarities which gave to his ancestor
that playful nickname.
l was thinking about these matters as /
sailed along, at the rate of about twelve
niles an hour. over the tops OF the fir trees
and pines. ] was also thinking about Jack
and his wife, and wondering what they
would suppose of my sudden and uncere-
nonious departure. l also wondered wheth-
er Mrs Jenkins was still talking. and the
thought of that made me quite contented
with the peculiar situation in which l
found myself, though l was getting tired
ard felt very lame from sticking to the
same position, and having to hold on so
tightly and would willingly have got OF
at some way station and rested until the
next balloon came along.
After l had passed over the tops of the
forest for mile or so, l became conscious
OF the sound of a roaring river. which in
creased in volume as l proceeded. Then
