A very commendable practice pre-
walls In New York this season of serv-
ing hot coffee and sandwiches to the
coachmen of the guests at dinner par
ties, receptions and balls. The idea
was suggested last winter by Bishop
Potter, after an accident caused by the
drunkenness of .coachman who car
ried bottle Of whisky in his pocket to
keep his blood warm. and declared that
he could not prevent nnmbness in his
arms and legs without taking some.
thing warm inside Of him. This set
people thinking, and Mrs. Levi p. Nor
ton, wife of the former vice president,
late last winter was the first to put the
plan into operation. She enegaged n
wheeled restaurant belonging to the
Church Temperance society to come to
her house ut midnight. while she was
giving ball, and remain there until
her guests departed, serving sand
wiches and hot coffee to the coachmcn
in waiting. This winter 1t has been
quite the fad. and the wagons Of the
Temperance society, which during the
day and the early evening are to be
found where the saloons are the thick
est. selling coffee and sandwiches at
n nominal price to wayfarers, have
been engaged somewhere almost every
night on the errand Of mercy.

of a lonely man. recluse almost. who

early youth.
My friend was at Heidelberg In the
days when the old German university
was as popular with Americans as
with England and the entire European
continent. From the outset Of his
student life abroad to his sophomore
days ne was intimately acquainted
with a colleague from little German
town In the Harz mountains. who was
studying law, and whose only desire
was to gain for himself position
which would make 1t possible for him
to support his aged mother. In order
to reduce expenses she had come with
him to Heidelberg, and the two were
keeping house together in little cot
tage not far from the university
grounds.
During the first year of their sojourn
at Heidelberg Karl Werner. the young
fellow from the Harz. fell In love with
a beautiful German girl, the daughter
OF a glovemaker. She was "Gretch-
en-" beauty, with long blonde tresses
and eyes of heavenly blue. The attach
ment between the two young lovers
was most pathetic. especially as Karl
was poor, and suffering from the came
dread disease that carried away his
ather-tuberculosis. He could not
take part in their sports. their drink
ing bouts and their frolics, but once
n month he insisted on dancing the
supper dance with his German sweet
heart at the sophomore's reunion.
Months went by, and Karl grew
neither better nor worse until. when
the winter set in with unusual severi-
ty, he was missed from the lecture
room one morning. My white-haired
friend, then a handsome young man
with raven black locks and alluring
dark eyes. Immediately hastened to see
him. Karl was i'll. He had taken
cold, his mother said, and 1t probably
would be several days before he would
be able to resume his studies.
The two friends talked of the COM
ing reunion. and Karl regretted that
probable he would not be able to en-
JOY his monthly dance with the girl
of his choice.
IF l am not able to go, promise me
that you will! dance with her that night,

piled Geoffrey. with a Jolly nod. and
he went from the room.
The night OF the reunion came. Karl
was no. able to 30. and sent word to
Geoffrcy to take his place with the lit

He danced the supper dance with
her. ms he had promised. and then led
her to the little round table In the
