The boy disappeared. and the result
of his trip was soon apparent in the ar
rival of very natty young woman in
the editorial rooL-s. She was dressed
in a neatly-ftting tailor-made costume,
and was very pretty girl, who LOT ked
about 10, but was, in reality. considera-
bly, older. She had large, appealing
blue eyes, with a tender, trustful eX-
preston in them, which made the ordi-
nary man say: What a sweet, inno-
cent look that girl has," yet what the
young woman didn't know about New
York was not worth knowing. She
boosted that she could get state secrets
from dignified members of the cabinet.
and an ordinary senator or congress-
man she looked upon as her lawful
prey. What had been told to her in the
strictest confidence had often become
the sensation of the next day'in the pa
per she represented. She wrote over a
nom de guerre, and had tried her hand
at nearly everything. She had answered
advertisements, exposed rogues and
swindlers and had gone to a hotel as
chambermaid in order to write her eX-
periences. She had been arrested and
locked up so that she might write a
three-column account for the Sunday
edition of the Argus, of "How Women
Are Treated at Police Headquarters"
The editor looked upon her as one of
the most valuable members of his staff,
and she was paid accordingly.
She came into the room with the self
possessed air of the owner of the build
ing, took a seat, after nodding to the
editor, and said: 'Well?"
Look here, Jennie" began that aus
tere individual, do you wish to make a
trip to Europe?"

She liked anything with a spice of dan
ger in it, and did not object to hear that
she was expected to succeed where a
mere masculine reporter had failed.

SECOND LECTURE.
Given by Mile. Boegli in High
School.

SCHOOL.
Mile Boegli, in her lecture on THE
Origin of German Literature" yester-
day afternoon, noted the first mention
of the German nation by Caesar in his
Commentarys. Tacitus also described
the Germans as of remarkable stature,
red beared blue-eyed, broad-shoulder-
ed, so music-Ioving that they sung as
they marched to war, and to make
their voices louder sung into their
shields. Then followed a comparison
between the Scandinavian mythology
and the Grecian The first monument
of German literature was the transla-
ton of the Bible in A. D. 38S by the
Gothic Bishop Ulfila. This antique
work was formerly guarded in Prague,
but at the capture of that city in 164S
it was carried into Sweden. 1t may
now be found at the University Of Up
sala, and is known as the Silver Codex.
The interesting relation between the
high tide of literary merit and national
advancement as occurring at the same
time was reviewed, and the exception
noted of the second golden age, which
was quite Independent of it's counter
part in a patriotic line. In the eighth
century Charlemagne was the patron
and protector Of learning, accomplish
ing for it in his realm what Alfred the
Great did for England. In the ninth
and tenth centuries literature was dor
mant, on account of the invasion of the
Hungarians from the East and of the
Mortimer from above. Learning was
loff ont n
priests. A most instructive description
of the causes which led to the first
golden age is worthy of note. The Cru
sades were the agent which brought
together the knights on their way to
the Holy Land; the Orient was opened
to the Occident with all it's mental and
material resources; commerce was de-
veloped and the riches and prosperity
of the towns increased; and last, but
not least, the dynasty of the Hohen-
stauffen was comprised of kings who
were the protectors and advancers of
knowledge, especially Barbarossa.
If Mile Boegli showed herself at
home in her knowledge of French lit
erature last Friday, which will be re-
sumed next week, her resources in the
German were shown to be equally
great on this occasion; and the taking
of notes on the part of the hearers re-
quired great expedition from the rap
idity with which she filled the hour
with the subject at her command. The
conclusion was synopsis of the Nibe-
lungen, the famous national epic, which
with the Indian Ramajana and the
Iliad, ranks among the greatest in the
world.
