Jacob inquired.

years and the need seems very great"

old Jacob quietly. "Fll give you the

him away from the mission and had
forced him to put chains on the great

the trio moved. The crowds hurry1ng
past the gate diminished gradually: the
man came to light the street lamp; the
stars came out one by one and blinked
down shyly at the three motionless
figures. Somehow the stars reminded
Jacob of the wistfulness of the Littlest
Twin that morning when first he came
into the garden. Then the old man re-
called having seen dozens of dirty
urchins to whom the rebuilding of the
mission might mean great deal. Slow
ly he got out~the check book; one of
the dogs crept closer and swallowed
sympathetically. Jacob rose stiffly, en-
tered the house and took up his pen.
Resolutely he dipped it into the ink
well upon his table and then carefully
signed his name. AS he folded the

head on the old mans knee, a cricket
that had hidden under the step chirped
gleeful1y and the wise old owl whose
home was in the elm gravely hooted his
approval.

watch the progress of the work. Some
times he took one of the fierce dogs.

woman drew back uncertainty. but the
old man hurried on. Inside they saw a
brown-eyed little lass bend caressingly
over his basket of violets and they
heard her saying gravely: They like
the lovin'." The man and wife smiled
as old Jacob gave the child a handful
of flowers; and while he banked the
lilies of the valley at the foot of the
cross they heard him tell her: "If you
listen very still you can hear the little
white bells tinkle, and you can learn
the secret the forget whisper

THEENEN|NGS STORY
OLD JACOB.
Copyright, 1915, by W. werner.)


1t was not until the last chrysanthe-
mum had completely faded that the Lit
tlest Twin threw his arms about old
Jacobs neck and exclaimed rapturously:
ut is the most wonderfulest garden; 1t
helped me get well and I love it so. En-
now all the flowers are gone to sleep, en-
I'm goin' back home with my mother. en-
I'm goin' to see the bunnies. en- ride my
new pony" Then. waving gayly, he dis
appeared down the path. leaving old Jacob
rubbing his chin thoughtfully and the two
fierce dogs" poked their noses wistfuily
through the iron gate.
1.-The flowers have gone to sleep and
next year they'll blossom more beautiful
ly than ever. They'll be disappointed be-
cause he won't come back-yes, they'll
be disappointed because he won't come
back the old man muttered, slowly re-
tracing his steps to the house. All through
the winter, while the flowers rested. he
wondered what he could do for his garden,
for the lilies of the valley, whose little
white bells really tinkled, if you listened
very still.'' the Littlest Twin had said.
and the forget time nots that whispered
all day to the wee wee brook" along
whose edge they grew in such abundance.
When only few patches of snow re-
manned and the crocuses were again
forcing their way through the brown
earth the old man realized still more

keenly that the absence of the Littlest
Twin would make his garden strangely
empty.
1t had been many years since Jacob
Paulsen had shut himself in the garden
with his dogs and refused to communi-
cate with the outside world. The Littlest
Twin had been the first and only person
admitted, and now the eager look of a
hedge of dead leaves made Jacob unchain
the great gate and hobble uncertainty
through the once familiar streets.
Il suppose l could box up some OF the
a big garden. Guess I'll send some of
those yellow flowers to the children's hos
pital, he decided. and hurried back. But
even after he had tied up the very tiniest
bud the lonely feeling was still there.
Every green thing that unfolded itself to
the sunshine seemed to ask, What are
you going to do about it," and the two
fierce dogs lay under the magnolia bushes
and eyed him solemnly. Unable longer
to stand their dumb reproach, old Jacob
once more unfastened the chain on the
great gate and walked for hours through
the city that knew him only a sort

these places with the Galician city, which
is spelled Lemberg.
"Limburg -the-Lahn is one of the
Oldest towns of Germany. 1t is situated in
the principality of Hesse-Nassau and is
thirty-two miles east of the important
Rhenish city of Coblenz. AS a prison
camp it has the advantage of being COM

and Belgium, yet sufficiently .r removed
to be out Of the danger zone of possible
raid and rescue. 1t is at least $50 miles
in an airline northeast of Verdun, the
nearest important point of conflict at the
present time, and lies 100 miles almost
directly east of Malmedy, a town on the
German Belgium frontier. Germany's
great cathedral city, Cologne is sixty-five
miles in an airline to the northwest.
"At the outbreak of the war Limburg
was town of slightly less than 100
inha abitants, and its chief interests were
tobacco factories. soap and pottery works,
machine shops and breweries. To the
east, along the Lain, extends the Limburg
basin, for three or four miles, and it is
probably in this plain that the English
prisoners are confined.

fomented the plans which ultimately
resulted in the United States of Amer
lea 1t was the excellent eating and
drinking at this Queens Head Tavern,
as the proprietor called it, that brought
our brave forefathers together 1t
was his sparkling wine out of dusty
bottles that set the discussion going
and warmed each man to outdo his
fellows in brave words. And suppose
that Black Sam had been a bad cook
and had given these excellent gentle
men collie or that his wine had been
too heavy and they had gone to sleep?
What if Washington had been a dys-
peptic, Hamilton afflicted with the
gout? 1t becomes apparent that Black
Sans cookery was at once the start
ing point and the SUSTAINING pabulum
of American liberty.
But it appears that plots against
liberty as well as for it were fomented
at Black Sans. For in 1875 there
were men in England who saw that
the great personality of Washington
was one of the greatest dangers to
England's hold upon the colonies, and
these men were not above removing
the danger as best they could.
So 1t happened that a frequenter of
Black Sans place was young Eng
lishman named Hickey, who had de-
serted from the British army and en-
listed as an American volunteer. Be
cause he was clever man, despite his
bad record, he had become one of
Cen Washington's bodyguard.
This man was the king-pin in a plot
to assassinate Washington, and the
first step in the plan was for him to
win the help of the generals house
keeper. This person was none other
than the young and attractive West
Indian girl, Phoebe Fraunces, daugh-
ter of Black Sam. The murderer first
won her heart and made her his
mistress. Then he let her know his
plan and the part she was to play.
There is no record of the struggle that
took place in the mind of Phoebe
Fraunces when she found that the man A.,
she loved was the appointed murderer |
of her master. But the fact. remains |
that she revealed the plot to Wash !
