Captain Brown, who was close

Not "One of the Boys"

There is "A good story going the
rounds on one of the main officers of
the Illinois, the big battle ship which
steamed up the Mississippi to test the
New Orleans dry dock. Congressman
Adolph Meyer, who made such a val
liant fight for the establishment of the
dock at New Orleans, had gone over to
inspect the big steamer that was to
make the test. He was met in the
most cordial way imaginable by the
officers. Gen. Meyer remarked that he
would leave for Washington shortly.
II beg you. general. to remember me

of the officers with polite bow. Yes,

IIShts for Latter Carriers.

New York letter carriers have pur-
chased small electric lights to enable
them to read the addresses on letters
and packages during the evening. They
find that the electric light helps them
materially and is easily carried. The
light consists of black cylinder, about
a foot long, containing dry battery.
The cylinder is deposited in the car
riers pouch. and two copper wires are
run from the battery to the lapel of
the carriers coat. A reflector and a
two-candle power light are fastened to
the end of the wire and the carrier. by
pressing button in his pocket, can
operate the light.

at all.
After sauntering about for some
time, Paul found a seat where he could
feast his eyes upon the charming fea-
lures OF his inamorita, though utterly
without her knowledge.
And, as he sat there, slipping from
his mug. and indulging in such de-
lightful dreams as a young lover Is
apt to have float through his mind.
Paul suddenly became conscious of the
fact that Hildegarde and her escort.
the madam, were objects of intense
interest to others as well as himself.
and the party who seemed to be so
deeply interested in Hildegarde was no
young gallant, but a woman.
How like hawk she surveyed the
girl. At times such was her eagerness
that she even leaned forward as
though breathless and once Paul saw
her hand steal to her bosom as though
in search of n weapon.
Who was she?
Why should she spy upon Hildegardc
with such eagerness. when her actions
reminded Paul of tigress about to
spring?
What was there familiar about that
lissome figure? while the quick. supple
motions seemed to haunt him as with
faint recollection of a forgotten past?
Paul's curiosity overcame his pru-
dence. and he resolved upon bold
move to discover the truth.
He held a whispered consultation
with one of the walters and couple
of coins changed hands. And present.

pin or button. and for brief inter-

Pauls breath failed him, and, while
the audience cheered the conclusion
of q patriotic air, he sat and stared
and gripped the table in front of him,
for he had seen a spectre of his dead
past arise.

CHAPTER VIII.
Paul Makes a Bold Move.


What Paul had to say was of too
great importance to be dealt with in
so public place as a concert garden.
He had waiter years. Surely few
hours more or less could not matter
much.
Il must see you tom orrow, when we
can nave long talk and a full ex-
PLANTATION. All the dreadful mysteries
of the past must be explained Until
then. say nothing to any one about
me-"
The young girl looked disappointed.
Tomorrow is a long way off, and
l have waited years to see a sign; but
it shall be as you say, brother. You
away the dreadful mystery that Las
haunted my whole life?"
Il promise you faithfully. though
the truth may pain just as severely as
the uncertainty does now" he an
swered soberly.
Anything is better than madden
ing doubt" came the quick reply.
So Paul sat down with them, and
during intervals in the music, they
chatted about things in general,
though it was hard to refrain from
touching upon the subject that was up
pc most in his heart.
Then Karl hove in sight.
Paul turned his regards upon his
sister. and when he detected the sud
den blush that mounted to her temples
as her eyes fell upon the student. he
sighed with relief. and muttered:
at is well. They love. and love for
gives much"
When Karl had Joined them, which
he eagerly did, Rhinelander took an
early opportunity to bid them good
night.
He did this not simply because he
wished to give his friend the whole
field, but desire to be alone with his
thoughts had come upon MIN.
In the course of his wanderings
through the garden. he came almost
face to face with Hildegarde, and the
astonishing manner in which his heart
jumped at sight Of her rather discon
certed him.
His satisfaction was extremely short
lived, however. for the pretty German
aid almost froze him with the cold
return she gave his salute.

CHATTER IN.
-, s. i,
Countess Aimee.

The lady had once again covered
her face with the veil. showing some
annoyance at the apparent accident.
and paying little heed to the clumsy
walters profuse apologies.
Paul had really gotten the worth OF
his money. Indeed, what he discov-
cred was more than he had barga!ned
for, II one could Judge from the frown
upon his brow and the expression of
surprise, mingled with disgust that
swept over his countenance.
"Phew, what can this mean? Why
is Aimee the Countess. in Heidelberg
Somehow | fear complications. She
appears to have some reason for hat
ing Hildegarde-it can't be because

And, while he crouched there in his
chair, he saw again the peculiar cir
cumstances under which he had been
thrown into the society of this dash
ing young French widow, whose black
eyes were eloquent with the ardor OF
emotions.
1t was in Paris, and the conditions,
while not far removed from the ludi-
crous, seemed to make him her debtor
to Il degree.
Perhaps it was hardly wise for Paul
to frequent the salon of the countess
so often, especially when he discov-
cred that she seemed to show de-
cided preference to his company.
He aroused himself at length ana
hastily quilted Paris without seeing
her ngain.

His scheme also includes a plan for
continuing the artistic symmetry of

| knew that il he saved that hat he
would endear himself to the matron's
hear
Providence, since all he had to do was
to open his arms wide. and gently
enclose the fugitive headgear as it
calmly settled against his heart.
Another minute and he was bowling
with the grace of Chesterfield before
the Waldeck.
Madam. allow me to return your
beautiful hat" he said seriously.
That clinched matters. Here was a
man who at least appreciated thing
of beauty and a Joy forever in the mil
linery line when he saw it, and. with
such rare attributes, he must be far
above the ordinary run of his sex.
So she smiled sweetly and thanked
him gushingly. while replacing the
marvellous combination of straw and
ribbonE or her head.
When this had been accomplished.
and she turned to look for the courte-
Gus young man, she found to her in
tense surprise that he and Beatrix
were standing little distance away
engaged in the most animated OF con-
versations.
| 1t had not been so difficult to ac-
complish after all, this bringing her
to his side.
A look did 1t.
The young girls eyes were glued
upon his face, while red and white
chased across cheeks and brows. and
into her eyes crept a startled look, as
though memory were struggling to
solve great mysteries that had puzzled
her often of late.
Thrilled by the emotion that welled
up in his heart he bent down and said:
"Beatrix-sister!"
Then she knew him, and. leaving
her seat, came to his side and put n
hand on his arm. looking up into his
| face as she said:
"Oh. now know you are Paul-my
own brother. l am so glad. SO glad!"
1t was undoubtedly miserable
| freak of fortune that caused Hide
garde to pass by just at this juncture,
in company with her aunt, and the
sight of Paul standing there. holding
another by the hands and bending
down to look into her face so eagerly.
| gave her shock from which she
would not soon recover.
This is a world of cross-purp ~ies. of
comedies and mistaken motives Soon
er or later, we all feel the wretched re-
suit of being judged from outward ap-
| pearances.
And Paul was fated to suffer in the
same old way. when word of ex-
PLANTATION would have altered the COM
plexion of things.
You remember me, them" he
asked. You have not forgotten how
happy we once were. although you
were such little thing?"
Il remember. Paul. The other night
your face startled me, and have been
thinking SO much. trying to recollect.
But where have you been? Why have
l not seen you? 1t is all SO very
strange" she said eagerly.
And then Paul groaned, knowing
that this sweet girl was in almost ut
ter ignorance of the fatal truth which
| he must tell her.

Lost His
Rheumatism

sufferer from rheumatism in the back and
Joints for the last four years. during which
time he has employed many different
methods of treatment. but obtained no relief
whatever, and for the last two years has
been unable to walk without stick, and
sometimes two sticks, and was in great pain

bottle of St. Jacobs Oil. which he applied
with the most astonishing and marvellous
effects. Before he had finished using the
contents of the first bottle he could walk

few applications from the second bottle he
was free from pain. and has been ever since;

THE CITY OF THE FUTURE.
Forecast of Leading German ArchL
tect.

Dr. Stubbcn, the famous German
architect. has recently published his
views regarding the city Of the future
and what il will be like.
Ills notion Is that 1t will take the
form of n central block of municipal
buildings from which all the princi-
pal streets and thoroughfares Will ra-
diatc. Around the center will be drawn
concentric circles of other streets
crossing the main arteries. There Will
be secondary streets. Certain thor
oughfares will be devoted to dwelling
houses, others TO factories and shops
and SO forth
Traffic will be carried on in the
streets in stories. the principal avenues
having three stories. All heavy rail-
way traffic and street cars will be un-
derground The present streets will be
devoted to vehicular traffic. Foot pas
sengers will monopolize the upper sto-
ry. where all the principal shops will
be situated. The footpaths will be
spared from the sun in the summer
and from the rain and snow in the
winter

CHAPTER VII.
What pildegardc Saw.


For several days after his visit Paul
moped more or less. By degrees,
however, he conquered his gloomy
spirit, and arose out of the quagnlire.
Other things were crowding fast
upon past events-the talk of the uni
yersity had turned upon the prospect
of sudden war between France and
Germany and the whole country had
assumed condition of suspense while
Awaiting the action OF Louis Napoleon.
In every town and hamlet of the
Fatherland, together with the prov
inces of the south, now apparently
ready to cast their lot with Prussia,
quiet but determined action was being
taken to gather the reserves. and ev-
cry man was waiting for the word to
move.
Battle hymns were popular in Baden
in those days of uncertainty. as well as
in the provinces further removed from
the border; and many times ''hoch"
greeted the Watch on the Rhine"
which stirred the pulses of those who
listened, as little else could do.
AS Paul sat one night in a concert
garden his eyes by accident fell once
more upon the face of the girl he had
come to Germany to see-his sister.
AS before, BeatriX was in the company
of the middle-aged madam, but Hoff-
man did not appear to be in sight.
Paul's resolution was taken.
He must learn whether Beatrix re
membered she ever had a brother.
The more he considered the matter,
the greater he was mystified, and the
stronger grew his resolution to dis
cover the whole truth.
Once again fortune stepped into aid
him. 1t was only a gust of wind;
nothing particular in its way, and yet
serving to play the game directly into
the young mans hands.
For this same froliosome wind.

all unawares, snatched off the wonder
