CHAPTER ".

Long and profound repose effected
little toward bunting the keen edge
Of the Rittmeister's curiosity and in
terest.
After the first moments of waking,
with their puzzled wonder as to where
he was and how he got there, he
sprang up, alert, and eager to get
through his duties and resume his in
vestigations.
The rigid and punctual Karl pre-
sented himself with an unmistakable
expression of Importance on his
wooden face, but Steinhausen nearly
finished dressing in silence.
At last, after answering some trivial
question, he found an opportunity Of
displaying his zeal and intelligence.
"HimmeI! Herr Rittmeister. Folks
here are short-spoken and gruff; they
have no manners at all. So soon as
the gnadiger Herr had to supper gone
went to the kitchen, and says to
the cook:
"'You have good, kindly Herr
schaften here, and a beautiful house,
and excellent eating. 1t is heavenly to
bide here after the hardships yonder.'
II thought it best to speak the 'alte
Hexe' fair"-here he delivered such a
rusty wink Gf such an expression be
permitted at his master that Stein
hausen thought he would never recover
'eyes right" again
with that, Frau Kochin gave sort
of a grunt and says:
"'That l believe; and 4 wish our
own poor fellows were having the good
of it instead Of you.'
"Well," began Steinhausen, inteAd-
ing to stop the flow Of his eloQuence;
but 1t was not every day that the
string of Karl's tongue was loosed,
and, besides, he thought his master
was only eager for more information.
Nit Erlaubniss, Herr Rittmeister. =
he went on.
II then said how 'schon' the young
Frauleins were, and asked If the eld-
est was not married, but not word
did she answer-no more than If she
were stone deafjust looking as sour
and yellow as the 'Gurken' she was

"'I never said nothing about it!

When London did not extend so
far as Knightsbridge, George H., as
he was one morning riding, met an
old. soldier who had served under. him
at the battle OF Dettingen; the king
accosted him, and found that he made
his living by selling apples in a
small hut. What can do for your"
said the king. "Please, your majes-
ty, to give to me grant of the bit
of ground my hut stands on, and I
shall be happy" BE happy" said the
king, and ordered him his request.
Years rolled on, the apple man died,
and left a son, who from dint of in
dustry became an attorney. The then
chancellor gave lease of the ground
to nobleman, as the apple stall had
fallen to the ground, where the old
apple man and woman laid also. It
being conceived the ground had fall
len to the crown, stately mansion
was soon raised, when the young at

was offered as compromise and re-

annum, ground rent, was settled up

lives of the two as poets make the

their life, as Mrs. Browning SAID

8 cd ses4th Chicago,
was run over by switch engine and
Ave cars in the local yards Of the Big
Four railway the other day, and still
lives. Flockhart, who was formerly
employed as a Big Four switchman,
came to Kankakee on a picnic e1'
cursion. In the afternoon he was
riding on the front end Of switch
engine with two former fellow en-
ployes, when his hat blew OF. In try.
Ing to catch it he lost his balance and
fell directly in front OF the engine.
The engine and five cars in the train
passed over him. The crew hurried
back, expecting to find the mangled
corpse OF their companion, but in
stead he was endeavoring to raise
himself to sitting posture. Examina-
ton showed that his injuries consisted
of crushed right arm and few cuts
about the head, while the heel OF his
right foot had been torn OF. The in
jured man was removed to the hos
pital. Local railroad men are IN
able to account for Flockhart's escape
from instant death, as the firebox OF
the engine reaches almost to the

arm was crushed by the engine he
was rolled into the center Of the

whatever may be the experience
of others, the beneficial effects of the
change were apparent in my case al
most. Immediately. My stomach. which
had rejected other food for so long, took
to Grape-Nuts most kindly; in day
or two my headache was gone. I began
to slsep BEAUTIFULLY aud before week

that felt in body and mind. For three
