For. strange 10 say. II was not Sister

Paul that. I'm some clumsy manner. he
had succeeded in mixing the numbers.
and thus made a mess OF Il.
However. since the damage had al
ready been done. he must abide by the
consequences

As Paul had ere now fully deter.
mined that this sweet girl was lost TO
him. that circumstances had lifted her
far beyond his reach. allowing him
only the chance of worshipping at a
great distance. as the Aztec might the

Hlldegardc Put this question hastily.
while her manner betrayed more or
less excitement.
She did not forget. she could not
forget. that she had seen Paul bending
over sweet girl. holding her two
hands I'm HIS own. and bcaming upon
her with what appeared 10 be the most
devoted attention.
No wonder her curiosity was aroused

4 stormy Interyiew..

a Stormy Interview.
Paul know he was In for a siege as
soon as his eyes fell upon his visitor.
and Il required all the fortltudc OF
which he was possessed to brace him
self for the encounter.
lie took her hand In perfunctory
way. and would have Immediately re.
leased u only she refused TO let him
so 80 easily.
"Ah! you men forget so easily. II
Is the poor. weak. loving women who
have TO suffer" she said. with such
exquisite pain In her voice that Paul
might well have been inclined TO pity.
only that ne knew her so well.
Countess, he Faid. steadily. with n
stcTn face. that betrayed HIS design.

"Ah! that was what | did not wish

surprise YOU"
You certainly accomplished that"
II thought | believed. you would
be overioyed Co see me. and had
looked forward with such eagerness
TO this meeting. Since you left Paris

She said this so boldly that Il had no
effect. for he knew Il was false. II

ever. and. as 70 her moping. he had no

Lost the Lords Nickel.

A little boy who goes to sunday
school every Sunday always receives a
nickel from his father to place In the
collection plate. Last Sunday his
father gave him two nickels. saying
zone is for the Lord ana the other
IL for yourself" As II was too early
90 start for sunday school the little
boy sat on the porch steps in the warm
sunshine playing with tho two nlckels
After n while he dropped one OF them
and II disappeared down n crack
without n moments hesitation and
still clutching the remaining coin IN
his clenched fist. he looked up az hts
father. exclaiming. "oh. popl There
goes the Lords nickel"

She was no ordinary woman, this
PRrlsian countess. He remembered
that he had heard IL said she was
born diplomat and that Louis Ma
poleon would sooner trust any despor-
ate foreign mission 90 her than 10 most
of his representatives.
Why then, was she in Germany
a blight To- Paul. The conditions had
really been bad enough before. but now
they were rendered doubly serious.
when Hildegarde and her compan-
ion arose 10 leave the garden. he saw
the countess also make move.
lie held his breath when he saw
her brush MP against the German
beauty, throw back her veil n moment
and speak rapidly TO her, at the same
limo pressing note into the hand OF
the fairly surprised Hildegarde.
Paul noticed that the countess
dropped her veil again the moment
she left Hildegarde's side.
What was the reason OF this scrup-
ulous care?
Did she wish 10 avoid recognition
by Paul? lie had never cared for her.
though dazzled for a time by her beau
~ and the scintillatlng br!lliancy Of
her intellcct. Now he positively hated
the dashing charmcr. and could even
SEQ evil befall her with grim compla-
ccncy.
Hence. u was with renewed interest
and not little satisfaction that he
discovered a certain fact.
The countess had shadow. In her
turn, she was being watched and
something about the appearance OF the
man who kept her under constant sur
VIGILANCE gave him tho impression that
he belonged 10 the secret police OF
Berlin.
Then her mission 60 Baden was no
such dead secret ne she might sup
pose. and n she gave her enemies good
and sufficient cause for an arrest the
beautiful Frenchwomun who dared 20
take such risks In order To gain the
royal favor OF Napoleon might see the
iusldo OF q German bastile sooner than
she dreamed. even in her most san
guinc moments
Paul had much to consider while
walking To- his lodgings Being pos
sessed OF means Paul had a very lux
urious establishment. which Kari
shared with him OF late.
The old woman who took care OF
the several fats usually waited up.
though Paul could always enter with
HIS Key. and this ne did On the present
occasion.
To his surprise. tho lights were
turned up. Karl mus; have reached
home ahead Of him.
With smile on his lips he alb
ruptly entered the sittlng-room TO
see the figure OF a woman rise from q
chair by the table where she had been
reading and 90 feel cold hand laid
upon HIS heart AZ he recognized IN his
late visitor the charming enchantress
and Bhrcwd female diplomat, Countess
Aimee!

LEU ny btEAiuHs
II may be safely assumed that Rhine.
lander. after that stormy interview
with the countess. did not feel much
like sleep.
Long he tramped up and down the
rooms. for Karl had not yet arrived.
40 length he retired. and when Karl
came In he seemed TO be gleeping: yet.
through the remaining watches OF the
night. the American lay there and ar.
ranged plans. just as when n child he
had built houses out OF cards. 10 knock
them down the next capricious mo.
ment.
Another day dawned
Paul remembered his promise to his
sister.
II must be- kept painful though the
INTERVIEW might be. BeatriX should
know that az least she had a father
with an unsulllod name. and that there
was a brother ready TO love and pro.
tect her. in whose arms she could
weep.
Accordingly he fastened 20 the adj.
dress he had received on the previous
night
lie had already noticed as a queer
coincidence that IL was Ia the same
strasse as the house where Hildegarde
resided This did not appear to be the
only resemblance. since the building
itself had n familiar look.
Passing upstairs and asking to see
the young lady. he handed his card TO
the attendant
Through the doorway camo n vision

A Itch gate is a shed. generally of oak,
over the entrance of churchyard, be-
meath which the bearers paused when
bringing n body for interment.
Here the clergyman met the body
and read the Introductory part Of the
burial service as he preceded the funer-
al train into the church. Examples of
old Itch gates are still to be seen in
many country churchyards. In Wales
they are more modern and are usually
built of stone.
Some Of the old Itch gates are formed
with one wide door turning on a cen.

a rude pulley wheel in the roof and a
stone weight inclosed in an iron frame

In Herefordshire they are also called

Caught in a bear trap on the banks

John Mcleod, n lumber scaler, was
obliged to take out his jackknife and
cut Off his leg. The trap was too heavy
to move and was sprung in such a way
that he could not reach over and re-

being. and the only way out Of 1t seem
ed TO be to cut Off the leg.
That was done easily, because the les

But when he stumped back TO camp Il
made him mad TO hear the ieers Of the
French Canadian cook Of the lumber

Such a way out of his difficulty had

SNAKE, EGGS AND A JUG.
A Moccnsin's Appetite and Lack of
Sense Led TO His Death.

A Moccnsin's Appetite and Lack of
Sense Led TO His Death.
A party Of Jacksonville mechanics
were at work on the Matanzas river
raising a sunken dredgeboat. They
lived on board OF the big lighter on
which they worked in a small house
on the deck. One noon their bill of
fare was somewhat strengthened by
some wild turkey eggs which had been
found by some Of the party while hunt
ing on shore. After the hungry en-
gineers had destroyed a heavy dinner
they left their dining room and return
ed to work. The doors and windows
were all open, and the cook did not
clear off the table for some time.
In this interval a large water moe
casin of near six feet crawled on board
the lighter and wriggled into the din
ing room through the open door. In
his prospecting tour he climbed the
table leg, and here, with a snakes
fondness for eggs, he went in for a
feast. One of the turkey eggs lay
alone by plate, and the rest were in
dish on the other side of the table.
In the center stood a large water jug,
and right here the willy serpent slipped
up. After swallowing the lonesome
egg, he started for the main supper
and in his artless manner crawled
through the handle Of the jug. 1t was
a rather tight fit, and he had to stop
about half way through on account Of
the egg, which enlarged him some
what. So, stretching forward, he bolt
ed another egg and thereby fastened
himself.
On each side of the jug handle was
an egg on his inside, and he could
move neither backward nor forward,
practically riveted in position. He was
soon found in this peculiar situation
by the cook, who speedily killed him.
The reporter was shown the skin of
the snake with a crease still in the
middle from the tremendous pressure,
and he was also permitted to gaze on
the jug whose handle proved so fatal
