CHAPTER !,
A KNICKERBoCKER FROM OVER
THE SEA,


A KNICKERBoCKER FROM OVER
THE SEA.
When Paul Rhinelander, an AM
erican student at the famous old Ger
man university OF Heidelberg, saunter-
cd idly along the aisles of the great
public garten he had entered, II was
\ wonderful spectacle that greeted his
vision In every direction,
To young Rhinelander the kaleido-
scoplc spectacle was no now sight,
though It had never lost It's charm In
his eyes. Az Paul came strolling by,
q student, who wore the dark blue cap,
slgnifying that he belonged to the
Rhine Korps, put out his hand and
tackled him,
II was evident from the momentary
fash of pleasure that appeared
upon the face Of the American that
this yellow-halred young athlete was
Mt least of more Importance to him
than the average run Of students with
whom fortune threw him in contact,
As they sat together at table and
chatted over the foamy beakers their
conversation naturally covered the
whole range of subjects that might be
supposed to interest students. Paul's
eyes at last settled upon a certain
table at which sat number of per-
sons.
Karl saw him start and evince un-
usual eagerness-when Paul turned to
him his face was possibly as impassye
as ever, but In his eyes fierce light
had famed up that announced pur-
pose on the eve Of accomplishment,
Pardon me, my friend, but you
know, rs n comparative newcomer
here, have not yet made the ac-
quaintnnce of all students who have
distinguished themselves In the battle
of the books or the sword. | do not
remember seeing yonder young fellow
before, and yet, unless my eyes de-
celve me, he wears the insignia that
marks him leader among the Saxo-
Prusslans,"
"He is a terror with the rapler,
wizard, my fencing master has de-
clared, 7 myself was accounted some
thing fair, but Hoffman made sport
of me, | was told ! came out lucky
in the encounter"
Hoffman, you said?" between his
teeth, as though something in the very
name stirred up ugly memories,
Conrad Hoffman, first leader Of the
fighting SaXo-Prussians,'
1T Is well. And now, my friend
you who know so many Of the good
people in this university town, per-
haps you might even be able to tell
me who that lady Is who Is with him -
Karl turned in swift anger, What,
you, too, are victim of her fatal
beauty Perhaps she has lured you on
as she did me, with false promises
and sweet phrases, the jade! But l
have sworn that no man shall step
between and enjoy the undisputed pos
ession Of her heart, am son Of the
Rhine, and we fight for those we love,
caring little though tue whole world
be against us,
But Paul only laughed
Reserve your fighting arm for your
real rival, Conrad Hoffman, after
am done with him, Yes, love that
sweet girl, my dear fellow, and why
not, when she Is my own sister,"

Laxalette buys A few of the hunters still employ dogs la tracking them, but a dog trained to track teFrapIn Is seldom suited for anything else, and the result Is that few dogs are kept ensaged h the business. Years ago nearly every resident of the Eastern Shore had his terrapin dog.

Nothing has perhaps hastened the scar- city of terrapln more than tho burning of the marshes in rhe early spring, caus- ing the reptiles to come from their places of Information under the impression that it is spring, and that it Is safe for then, to venture out. Thousands are burned to death in this way, and stringent slaws have been enacted against firing the marshes, but the hunters evade the law by declaring the fire accidental

A SHIPWRECK.
That was Kept Secret for Sixty
 Years.

New York Letter.
 That Abram S. Hewitt was on one occasion the hero of an adventure of a startling character has just been learned by many of his old friends and acquaint- ances. says The New York America I and Journal. For sixty years he and his companion in danger, Edward Cooper a son of Peter Cooper, have refrained from making known the story of their perlls and privations while tossing about at sea in a rotten boat at the thrashing, wind-swept end of a gale. Why Mir. Hewitt's memory at this late date has gone back to that thrilling episode is un- explained, but it is fact that he only recently related it.
 It was in the early forties that Mir. Hewitt, then just graduated from Colum- bia College, journeyed to Italy as tut Ir to Edward Cooper. Many pleasant Southern Europe and the return trip to this country was begun in a schoon sr freighted with Italian marble.
 While Mir. Hewitt sat on deck reading wandered aft. leaped lightly upon the rail gazed thoughtfuliy into the sea and tn sii sprang far out into the water.
 A sailor standing near who noted this omen of disaster turned pale and nut tered hurried prayers.
 This ship will never get to land" he said to MT. Hewitt.
 His prediction was fulfilled.
 TWO days later the snip was struck by a gale, which drove 1t far out of it's course. wrenched and strained Its tim bers and left 1t at the end Of the storm a wreck. A leak had been sprung which could not be kept down by the pumps. Nothing could be done but attempt to reach land in the small boats, and MT. Hewitt. Mir. Cooper and the captain, with two sailors, started off in one of these, while the rest of the crew took the oth- CT. For several days they rowed or drifted. the boats leaking badly. At last the captain said to MT. Hewitt:
 ''If you know how to pray I wish you would pray for my family. Everything had was invested in that vessel, and now that she is lost my family will starve. Pray for them and for us."
 Mr. Hewitt droppel on his knees in the bottom of the boat and prayed with an earnestness and feryor that brought tears to the eyes of the hardened sailors and their captain. While his head was still bent in prayer and his petition to the Almighty was being sent aloft the cap- tain raised his eyes and saw outlined for a moment against the horizon the spars of a large ship.
 Both boats from the marble -freighted schooner were picked up. As the one In which Mir. Hewitt and Mir. Cooper had lived for three days was raised to the davits of the ship that rescued them tho rotten blanks broke and the boat dropped in two pieces into the sea. It could not have held together another hour.

GOLDEN FRUIT.
Florida Oranges gre Now in the
 Market.
Jacksonville Metropolis.

Jacksonville Metropolis.
 Oranges have begun to meye.
 The first carload of the golden frult passed through Jacksonville this morn. ing over the Seaboard Air Line, and it attracted great attention. The ear was handsomely decorataa, and the fruit was in excellent condition. There were in the car 300 boxes, and they were consigned to Charles Reth of New Orleans. and shipped by Montgc mery & Co, of Pal metto.
 Manatee County oranges this year aye said to be exceptionally good, and there will be large cr9p. Those best inform: ed declare that the yield this year will be larger than wac at first believed.
 In the early days before there were many railroads in Florida. the first car load of oranges to reach Jacksonville was always considered quite an event, and t would be visited by thousands. Rivor traffic in those days was very great, and sometimes St. Johns River boat would bring the first oranges to market, and tue river men and the so-called ''wharf rats never failed to celebrate the event. Florida then secured the greatest reV- enues through the orange industry, but for several years It has utilized other sources of wealth. Florida oranges, how ever. are doing better every year, and are known to be the best in the worl |, and consequently command higher price than all others.

THE BURIAL OF MOSES.
sv eeciI Fra.ees Alexande

By Cecil Frances Alexander. By Nebo's lonely mountain,
 On this side Jordan's wave, In vale in the land of Moab,
 There lies a lonely grave. And no man knows that sepulchre. And no man saw It ser. For the angels of God upturn'd the sod And laid the dead man there. That was the grandest funeral
 That ever passed on earth; But no man heard the trampling,
 Or saw the train go forth Noiselessly as the daylight
 Comes back when night is done, And the crimson streak on the oceans
 cheek
 Grows into the great sun. Fc'zelesslv as the springtime.
 Her crown of verdurs weaves. A.. diI tne trees on all the hills.
 Open their thousand leaves; { without sound of music.
 Or voice of them that wept. Silently down from the mountain's crown The great procession swept. Perchance the bald old eagle,
 On gray Beth-poers height Out of his lonely eyrie
 Look'd on the wondreus sight; Perehaqce the lion stalking.
 Still shuns that hallow'd spot For beast and bird have seen and heard That which man knowath not But when the warrior dieth,
 His comrades in the war, With arms reversed and muffled drum. Follow his funeral car; They show the banners taken, They tell his battles won. And after him lead his riderless steed. While peals the minute gun. Amid the noblest of the land, They lay the sage at rest, Ana give the bard an honerd place, With costly marble drest. In the great minister transept
 Where lights like glories fall. And the organ rings, and the sweet choir Along ths smblazen'd wall. This was the truest warrior That ever buckled sword. This the most gifted poet
 That ever breathed word; And never earths philosopher Traced, with his golden pen, On the deathless page, truths half so saga As he wrote down for men. And had he not high honor The hillsides for pail, To lie In state while angels wait With stars for tapers tall. And the dark rosk-pines like tossing
 plumes,
 Over his bier to wave, And Gods own hand, in that lonely Iand To lay him in the grave? Tn that strange grave without name. Whence his uncofhn d clay Shall break again, O, wendrous thought, Before the Judgment day, And stand with glory wrapt around On the hills he never trod, And speaks of the strife that won our life With the Incarnate Son of God. o lonely grave in Meab's land! O dark Beth -poer's hilli Speak to these curious hearts of ours, And teach them to be still.

It has just received It's first coat of white pains, which has emphasized the impoverished appearance. Perhaps three or four coats will improve it, but at present it Is a sad and dreary-looking affair.
