German Soldier Had Been Accus-
toned to Obey implicitly, and
Did So in This Case.

There seem to be some character
istics which Germans and Chinese
hold in common. Many are familiar
with the story of the Chinese serv-
ant who threw the broom down the
back stairs every morning at ten
o'clock because his mistress rad done
so when she first instructed him in his
duties.
Recently a young German in Mu-
Mich. fresh from his service in the
army, where he had been taught to
obey orders implicitly, got employ
ment with a baker who owned a dog.
for which neither he nor his wife had
any great love- AS the time approach
ed for the renewal of the dog license,
amounting to marks ($2.25), there
was some discussions in the family
as to whether it would not be bet
ter to have the dog killed. The
beker. however, instructed the new
assistant to take 9 marks to the ex-
else Office and bring back the dog IL
cense. At the same time, the wife,
not knowing what her husband had
Gone, told the young man to take
the dog to the animals home and
have him killed; she gave him mark
(25 cents) for the fee and IL cents
for himself, because he appeared TO
be rather fond of the dog.
The valiant soldier reported him.

The words were plain enough, but
the stricken listener did not take
them in. They carried no meaning
to him. How could they? The very
idea she sought to impress upon him
by this seemingly careless allusion
was an incredible one. She found it
| her dreadful task to tell him the hard,
bare truth.
Your brother" she said, was de-
voted to Miss Challoner, too. He even
wanted to marry her. / cannot keep
back this fact 1t is known every

ical curve, as he uttered the word.
This was a young girls imaginative
fancy to him. why Orlando never

HE met her at Lenox."
The name produced its effect. He
| stared, made an effort to think, re-
peated Lenox over to himself; then
suddenly lost his hold upon the idea
which that word suggested, struggled
again for it, seized it in an instant of
madness and shouted out:
Yes, yes, / remember. l sent him
there" and paused, his mind blank
again
Poor Doris, frightened to her very
soul, looked blindly about for help;
but she did not quit his side; she did
not dare to, for his lips had re-
opened; the continuity of his thoughts
had returned; he was going to speak.

may have admired her, but loved her
no! or if he had, he would have re-
spected my claims"
"He did not know them"
A laugh; laugh which paled Doris
cheek; then his tones grew even
again, memory came back and he NUT

him. He had the right to court her
and he did, you say; wrote to her;

He was standing now, his feeble
ness all gone, passion in every Inca
ment and his eye alive and feverish.

ed, with unrestrained vehemence.
Tell me all. Kill me with sorrow but
save me from being unjust"
"He wrote her a letter; it fright
ened her. He followed it up by a
visit"
Doris paused; the sentence hung
suspended. She had heard step

Orlando had entered the room.

that he slept with any sense Of rest or
went his way about the town without

trayed his perpetual apprehension of
most undesirable encounter.
The reason for this change viii be
apparent in the short conversation he
held with man he had come upon
one evening in the small park just be-
ycnd the workmen's dwellings.
You see l am here" was the
strangers low greeting.
Thank God" was Mr.. Challoner's
reply. 81 could not have faced tomor-
row alone and doubt if Miss Scott
could have found the requisite cour-
age. Does she know that you are
here?"
Il stopped at her door,"

Brooklyn one-is up in his shed. He
sleeps there now, l am told. and

him with it. But you'll find that If he

awaits him. His invention has start
ling points. But I'm not going to give
them away. I'll be true enough to him
for that AS an inventor he has my
sympathy; but-well, we will see what
we shall see, tomorrow. You say that
he is bound to be present when Miss
Scott relates her tragic story. He
won't be the only unseen listener. I've
made my own arrangements with
Miss Scott. If he feels the need of
watching her and his brother Oswald,

cerity, declared his innocence?"
Il do that If he's as guiltless as
he says he Is, my watchfulness won't
hurt him. If he's not. then, Mr.. Chal-
loner, I've but one duty; to match his
strength with my patience. That man
is the one great mystery of the day
and mysteries call for solution At
least, there's the way a detective looks
at It,"
MAY heaven help your efforts"
II shall need it's assistance" was
the dry rejoinder Sweetwater was
by no means blind to the difficulties
awaiting him.

The irony, the hardy self-possession
with which this was said struck Mr..
ChaIloner to the heart Without a
word he wheeled about towards the
door Without word, Brotherson
stood, watching him go till he saw his
hand fall on the knob when he quietly
prevented his exit by saying:
Unhappy truths cannot be long con
ceaied. How soon does the doctor
think my brother can bear these in
evitabie revelations"
"He said this morning that IL his

Orlando bowed his appreciation of
this fact, but added quickly:

Mr.. Challoner looked up, surprised
at the feeling with which this request
was charged.
