Finding, and went at the work OF
teaching him. The boy proved an

took on a strange character for one
so young. They were OF drinking
houses and drinking scenes, painted
with truthfulness and vividness

At the age of 30 he had drank so

his life was literally drowned out Of
him.

physician.
"No, no; it must be water, Hans. =
"Must it? All, III try to love

mans hand and said:
"Hans, | am going away for a
Itime, as have others to visit.
Now, look you; l want to leave a
solemn question for you to answer,
There is a bottle Of wine, and there
lis a flagon Of pure water. Which is
the enemy? Dear boy, if you viii
solve this problem, as | hope you
will, you shall be saved, not for
merry life, but for a useful one. II
you decide in behalf OF the fou
lhend, no power can save you"
The physician went away. Wher
he returned he found the youni

wine was his enemy.
