the English channel and found safe
asylum. Katie delayed too long, had
| one thing to do and then another,
| though his brother officers and his
| superiors warned him, at last the or
der came for his arrest and he was
| taken.
At Wesel occurred a scene it Is not
well to dwell upon; the king gone mad
with rage, the prince silent, defiant,
glowering at his father in an intensity
of speechless rage. The king asked
questions. Fritz refused to answer;
his father struck him in the face with
gold-headed cane; officers looked on
| and saw the heir to Prussia's throne
bleeding and dishonored. Then the
prince was marched away to prison.
Two months they kept the prince in
prison; solitary confinement it was,
without books or the material for writ
ing, no one could speak to him, his
food, cut up for him because he might
not use a knife, was thrust in through
a slightly opened door by dumb attend
ants. 1t was the sort Of thing that
drives men mad, and the castle guard
ians knew it; therefore they dared to
disobey the king, to smuggle books to
the unhappy Fritz, to obey the letter
Of the kings command rather than the
spirit, and sometimes not the letter.
Then a court-martial sat-fifteen men
Of the Prussian army; not easy mas
ters these, but just. They heard the
evidence against the prince and Kat
te. No plotted treason, such as Fred
erick William fancied, could be found
in the re-brained plans for the es-
cape, no attempt to overth w the
throne of Prussia or to thrust the king
| from it to make way for his heir. The
fifteen voted mercy for the prince and
fatherly forgiveness; for Katie life
long Imprisonment. It seems a stern
decree, but it was not stern enough to
suit the king Of Prussia, and he sent
back word. Katie must die; the king
decreed 1t. AS special mercy he should
be permitted to die by the sword, his
head struck of, rather than by being
torn with red-hot pincers, as his crime
deserved.
So they slew Katie. They brought
him to the castle at Cuestrin, where
Fritz was still imprisoned. The king de-
creed that Fritz should see his COM
rade die. For Katie had been the
princes dearest friend, the David of his
Jonathan. Him Fritz had steadfastly
refused to implicate in all his answers
to his fathers questionings; for him he
had beggffed to be allowed to die, that
Katie might go free. Therefore 1t vas
decreed that the crown prince should
watch his comrade die. They brought
out Katie in the early morning, and
Fritz stood in window and saw him
pass. The doomed lieutenant looked
up and saw his master and he smiled
up bravely.
Forgive me, dearest Katie" the
prince cried brokenly, tears choking
him.
And Katie called back:
There is nothing to forgive; for
such prince and such friend as you,
death is sweet"
Then they slew him.-Kansas City
Times.

OLD MANUSCRIPT.
Is 100 Years Old and Was Recently
Discovered in Euypt,

Discovered in Egypt.
Considerable interest has been awak-
ened among Orientals and biblical
scholars generally by reason of the
discovery announced from Egypt Of an
ancient Coptic papyrus manuscript
which some distinguished investiga-
tors are said to have pronounced the
oldest Bible manuscript in existence
This interesting find" is said to in
clude the text of the greater part of
the book Of Deuteronomy, the whole OF
Jonah, and the major portion Of the
Acts Of the Apostles and the Epistles.
Discussing the discovery, the London
Times concludes that the new codex
proves beyond all question that copies
of an Egyptian or Coptic translation of
some of the books Of the New Tesla
ment were in circulation in the early
part Of the fourth century, and 1t de-
duces from the evidence that the ver-
sion just found belongs to the third
century. The Acts, although written
in a good hand, is evidently copy
from an earlier document, since 1t con-
tains many palpable errors which
could only be made by a careless copy
list from an old or partly obliterated
text. Words and even lines are omitted.
1t will indeed be remarkable dis
covery if the manuscript just brought
to light should prove to be older than
any now known. The Codex Sinaiti-
Gus is believed to be of the fourth CEN
tury; the Alexandrinus of the fifth
century; the Vaticanus Of the fourth
and the Ephraemi Of the fifth. Fuse
bius Is authority for the statement that
Mark, the evangelist, was sent to Egypt
to establish the first churches in Alex
andria This must have been while he
was still young man, probably under
40. There are many references extant
touching his work in Egypt. He began
his work there about A. D. 62-63, and
his propaganda spread over large
part Of Egypt
The new find" which must hence
forth be called the Coptic Codex, con-
tains 100 papyrus leaves, about 11x6
inches. Some twenty leaves are sup
posed to be missing. 1t is worm eaten
and much worn and has evidently been
greatly used by its owner. 1t bears the
title "Coptic Biblical Texts" in the dia-
lect Of Upper Egypt. Some of the writ
ing is exceedingly faint and it has been
retouched in places; moreover, while
the Coptic Is used throughout, the writ
ing in several places is cursive Greek
Christian Herald.

see a young jaguar at play in jungle

He climbed slight rise Of ground to
a sandy, forest-covered ridge. Just
before he came to the top Of this low
ridge he saw a curious creature max
