SybpVNyyvvvlIvyv they use human blood. Both ladies were strictly orthodox.
 The train stopped but short time at the station; the conductors howled their non tS & bells we're rnps norns tn Tere tartan had not returned He seemed to be so unbelieving that he did not believe | even the conductor and the steam en- zines.
 If he would only miss the train" thought the two ladies simultaneously. | And the wish of these orthodox people { was fulfilled; the train started, and the | young traveller did not return. They were l very glad to be relieved of the company ! of man to whom they were indebted | for so much care and courtesy They were not now crowded In among thirteen among pupils of military school and horse dealers. They had now full liberty | to criticize their benefactor. Do you know that person 'well?' asked the blond lady of the burly gentleman. Manasseh Adorjan."
 .Ah, please to tell me which is the Christian and which the fam'ly name." "Adorjan is the name of an old Tran sylvanian family. The name Manasseh he received at his baptism; his people have strong preference for Bible names. The name of Manassehs father was Is- raei Adorjan. Besides Manasseh, Israel had seven sons and one daughter. All still constitute one family in the house 1 of their forefathers Some are married but all live with their families under one roof in the castle of their ancestors.' That must be an interesting house." Ut is a patriarchal house.. The sons of Jacob did not live in more perfect har- mony than do these people. A quarrel never arises"
 Not among the women?' They differ from the sons of Jacob only
 in this, that they did not sell their young or brother to Egyptian merchants because fnWnFifa nf fn which Manasseh also was. Instead of betraying him, they toiled and hungered in order to secure his advancement. For as far as mental endowments were con- combined portions of all his brothers. The others are gallant, sensible, Transylvanian | noblemen, but this youth is genius; and although but 20 years old, he was one of those whom the Unitarians had
 nominated for Council. Now, according to Transylvanian law, the higher govern
 ment offices must be filled by representa-
 tives of each of the four acknowledged religions, viz, Catholics, Calvanists, Lu- therans and Unitarians. And for such a l candi lacy Manaseh was selected. Then commenced our antagonism." Then you really are opponents?" "In regard to the prevailing ideas of our times, we are. l have always be- longed to the Progressionists, but he has opposed every reform"
 "Can this be possible in one so young?" "He only understands At who knows Pennsylvania, the country of the four re- l ligions and of the four nations. It has really fifth nation, exceeding in num- 1 bers all the others. But l don't like to | weary the ladies with political speeches. I will continue the description of our missing traveller. As young man sud- denly exalted and beloved by his supe- brilliant future, in which the way to the dignity of court chancellor, yea. even of governor, was open to him. Then the great political change took place. The Hungarian Diet abolished the constitu- tion of classes and introduced in it's stead the representative. constitutional govern l ment. Pennsylvania declared for the Union, and with this all power and glory, which Manasseh Adjoran had acquired at | the age of 2 years, vanished like an air castle, and the young man become po- l litically dead. Thus in his youth his pros
 most insignificant apprentice may not in- | suit him, to whom but yesterday high born and noble gentlemen made obeisance, he seeks some distant place where he may seclude himself from tn world" Tn blond lady interrupted him. '"Then I can solve the enigma which lay in his words, "A divorce suit leads me thither: a separation from a beloved one who has repelled me. discarded me; who has united herself to another, but whom. notwithstanding, l can help loving even unto death.' He said something to this effect, and the beloved one is his na- tion.",
 That is probably the case, for he is not married"
 ''Now it is clear to me why you and he, although fellow-countrymen, did not, at your accidentaI meeting, enter in con- versation. while all the occupants of the adjoining car discussed politics of the day with so much Yehemence."
 Thus it is, indeed. It would be un- wise and unkind of each of us to speak of the politics of the day"
 Now, although the young man is heather. I begin to pity him. l wish he had not missed the train"
 And the wishes of the orthodox believ- CTS, even when they relate to the welfare of unbelievers, are fulfilled. As soon as the train stopped, the young man, who was supposed to have been lost, appeared at the car window, smiling kindly at those sitting within.
 'Ah, we thought you were lost said the blond traveller.
 That is impossible. He only can be lost who belongs to somebody. I have been sitting outside on the roof of the car."
 'Fellow-cltizen." said he, addressing the sturdy countryman, would you like to return with me? The view is charming"
 The person addressed shook his head.
 And one can smoke there, too"
 ''The ladies'" said he, will perhaps be offended, because we have. left them alone."
 Don't trouble yourself, cousin Gabriel. by occasionally disappearing from their company"
