"You had better ask Anna, the Judge:

Of trouble and his voice positively shook
You know very well that l would not ash

other maiden to serve me but you"
Marinka picked up her fail and laughed.
"A wise vow. Pista," quoth she. II hope
you will keep to it"
A few days afterwards. going up to the
| Major. or laborers' quarters. on an errand
for her father, Marinka caught sight of the
old widow. Martha Knotek, in the Schloss
garden. busily Mt work.
Martha, ~squatted back on her bare brown
heels. caught sight Of Marinka on the other
side of the hedge and Immediately hailed
her.
What! It is you. little one? Come here.
I want to talk to you"
Il am busy. Mother Martha returned the
girl sullenly. but nevertheless she passed
through the gate and drew near the old
woman.
Widow Martha. folding her sun-dried
arms, leered up hideously from beneath the
folds of her faded red handkerchief.
$50 you would not work for my Pista?
Aha, but he can do without you! The

words leaping out almost against her will.
Martha wagged her head knowingly. her

'Nya. nya. 1 may not tell. 1t is not 1, at

Marinka. tossing her head, stalked majes-
tically away. her heart burning.
OF course, 1t was Anna. Her wealth had
tempted Marinka's lover from his allegi-
ance: she had no doubt fiattered and cajoled
him: those fine embroidered sleeves of hers
were purposely worn to allure and entrap

At last news of the various misdeeds
! reached the ears of the Lady Of the Schloss.
] 1t happened in this wise:
, The great beanstack was being thrashed
in the big field at the back of the home
farm. All the laborers belonging to the es-
tate were. there. and many Of the villagers
were helping. amongst the rest Marinka.
She was standing on the summit of the
stack when the Lady stroIled up in the cool
OF the evening to inquire into the progress
Of the work.
All at once a new sound mingled with
these homely. pleasant notes.-the sound Of
n sharp cry. a sobbing and gesticulating
girl rushed out from the group beneath the
stack.
1T is Marinka!" she cried. 81 saw her
1 saw her myself. Oh, woe Is me: What
shall / do?"
The Chatelaine looked up to where Marin
ka's graceful figure moved hither and
thither on the rustling bean straw which
she was sedulorsly and innocently spread
ing with her p!tchfork. and then at An
nola's tear-besmirched face.
why. what has she done?' she asked in
surprise.
Gracious Lady, she has broken my two
pitchers. I had placed them for safety at
the foot of the stack-the water Jar and the
dish that held my fathers dinner. 1 saw
her-the wicked %girl!-single out mine and
throw down a sheaf Of straw on them. SO
that they fell together and were broken"
Several girls now crowded round. each
eager to relate her own special grievance;
but the Chatelaine. waving them on one
side, sisnaled to Marinka to descend.
A slide. a bound. and Marinka alfshfed on
shamefacedly to greet the Mighty Lady.
II am sure you are very sorry, Marinka,"
she said quite kindly. ito have injured poor
little Annola. You would not willingly have
broken her jars-it must nave been my mis-
take. You used to be the best-behaved girl
in the school. Do you not remember how
you won the good-conduct prize?'
High Mighty Lady. yesr, said Marinka, |
in a low voice. and two big tears suddenly
rolled over her ripe cheeks.
You must 30 on giving a good Xample
said the Lady. Il have got a beautiful BAN
ner for you to carry in the procession. You
know the great procession on the feast day? |
You shall carry the banner because your
name is Mary. and because you are going
to be such a very good girl"
The other village maidens listened, OPEN
mouthed. with blank faces; some even went |
SO far as to murmur discontentedly to each
other.
High Mighty Lady" said 1iarinka quick
", "~I-cannot."
Her black lashes dropped. she hung her
head, and began to describe certain cabalis-
tic circles with her bare foot In the dusty
soil.
.I have no VEIL" she faItered. and then,
in q lower voice: Il am not rood enough" ]

training. without any of the weakness
which civilization brings to the COM
pick organization of non Blatant So
ciety The vital energies of this are
paralyzed by defeat in war. and armies
have to stop fighting to save the ma
tons life. There is no such need
with the Beers, because the army is the
whole nation, except women and small
children. The only non-combatant n
dustry Is farming, and that can be car
ried on by women and boys, or stop
when the British concentrate and feed
these. The Boer nation was not par
alyzed as France was in 1870. by tie
capture of its cities. It had no great
financial system to break down, like
Russia's in 1857, and so compel peace.
The 10000 to 10000 BoeTs-no one
knows the precise number, which
varies with need. through levy and dis
charge of the willing Cape Colony con-
tingent-have all the freedom from So
eial and commercial bonds of the say
age. and all the personal efficiency and
improved weapons OF the best soldiery
on earth Tney have the stubborn
courage and tenacious resolution of the
most unconquerable race that ever
fought for freedom. No nation has
faced such a foe as this for three CEN
turtles. Napoleon J. failed to conquer
similar but inferior forces in Spain AMI
the Tyrol. A prouder army tran tie
British might feel no shame at being
bafiied for two years by such fee,
fighting all over its own vast but IA
miliar wilderness, with the elusive
mobility of pastoral tribes.

At the next session of the Legisla-
ture undoubtedly an act will be passed
to incorporate the town of Benwood
with Wheeling-which should have
been done long ago, since only the Off
cial surveyors and those aware of the
exact county line of demarkation can
tell where Wheeling ends and benwood
begins.
There are other outlying districts,
which in due course must be absorbed,
but for the present our neighbors out

ing's progressive appetite without in
commoding her digestion.
It will not be long until Wheeling's
real greatness will appear not only to
the actual beholders, but to all the
world on the map and in the census.
All hail to the Greater Pan Handle

the first prize in the recent prize drill

means. Half an hour before the con-

which the company was expected to
give was handed 20 the captain. Some
of the drills had not been practiced and
both the Grafton and the Ravenswood

agreed that the eentesting captains
should select the sword drills for their
respective companies. When the drill
was given, according to their claim,
the agreement between the captains
was not taken into consideration and
Ravenswood was graded down because
some of the drills were omitted. The
company will contest for first prize at

wrong with Henry. He's all there.
And he's all right.
GREATER WHEELING IS ASSURED.

The Registers efforts to secure the
annexation OF Fulton are already
certain of success. Our city con-
temporaries, who carefully avoided as
sistihg the Registers project for Great
or Wheeling until all the work had
been done and Greater Wheeling is a
certainty, have now seen a great white
light, in which illumination they have
fastened to run and jump for the band
wagon.
Twas ever thus. This is not the
first time that petty jealousy of this
nature has attempted TO stand in the
way-and has had to hustle to keep
from under the wheels of progress.
Our neighbor on Fourteenth street
yesterday was awakened to the fact
that the Greater Wheeling procession
was on the march, and supplemented
the numerous interviews previously
published by the Register with others
in line for Greater Wheeling, which,
of course, came easy.
This is not important. since the sue
cess of the Greater Wheeling project
was already assured. except as it re-
moves the possible contingency of
partisan or factional opposition in
Council. which has been exploited to
some extent ION the quiet" against the
Registers campaign for Greater Wheel
ing.
However. there has at no time been
any serious danger that party lines
would be drawn on this project for the
advancement of all the Interests of all
the people OF Wheeling. Whatever a
few selfish and small-frv politicians
may have had in mind in the way of
opposition to the Greater Wheeling
plan it has all along been certainty
that there were enough independent
Republicans in Council with the best
interests of their city at heart to in
sure the success of annexation, regard
less of the attitude of tho party ma
chine or its organ. The fact that the
coterie about the City Hall who have
been threatening under certain contin-
gencies to knife the Greater Wheeling
project have finally come to time, as
shown by the change in the attitude of
their organ. removes all possibility of
any opposition in Council. which will
be a unit for the annexation of Fulton.
This means that all hands, all men,
of all parties. will pull together and
there will be no petty chickering's or
political family jars or jealousies to
roughen the progress of the greater
city
