BECAME FAVoRITE

BECAME FAVORITE.
Being an intelligent, good natured
and amiable youth, the young noble
man rapidly became a favorte among
his fellow students and had every OPP
portunity OF participating in all the
rotous pleasures which characterize
life at German university. He learned
TO be Il swordynan and TO be an ex-
pert shot with q revolver In order 10
fight the duels which fall to the lot of
every well-born German student The
rough and tumble life at Bonn knocked
a good deal of the hereditary nonsense
OFT OF his head and caused him men
tally to revise many OF the principles
which his tutors had endeavored TO i'm
press upon his memory. About year
after he began his studies at Bonn he
was riding one day In the forests OF
the ancestral estate at Erbach in Hesse
when he saw for the first time the girl
who has now become his wife, The
young count, who made a striking fig
ure on his spirited steed, accosted the
peasant girl on the pretext' OF asking
her which road he ought to follow. and
contrived to enter into conversation
with her He found that she was as
intelligent In conversation as she was
attractive In appearance. Henceforth
the youthful aristocrat courted the
peasant girl with mremitting patience,
Notwithstanding all the obstacles
which were placed In his way. His
discovery that she was the daughter of
the village washerwoman. Frau Schulz,
did not dampen his nrdor. The meet
ings OF the couple had TO be clandes-
tine, for the count recognized the i'm
possibility of counting the washer
woman's daughter In public, Conse-
quently they met in secluded paths OF
the surrounding forests and wandered
arm In arm along unfreuuented ways,
where they were comparatively safe
from observation.
LOVED PEASANT GIRL.
II was impossible. however. that a
young man of such distinguished APP
pearance ami so well known through
out the .neighborhood rs the yoing
count should walk abroad with n pretty
peasant girl without sooner or later, at
tracing attention. The first opposition
came from the relatives of the girl
whose father heard the rumor that she
war keeping company with the young
nobleman. Happening to meet the
count on n country road soon after

and said; MY neighbor tells me that

The result was that Count Francis

heard of the affair and demanded ex-
plantations from hts son. a violet quar-

Francis Erasmus informed his infuriat-

occasion Count Francis Erasmus, who
