The Slavery of Love.

Gisela averted her mind tonight
from the parting with something Of
the almost forgotten panic. She hao
never dared to dwell upon it, nor on
the month that followed. Her pow.
erful will had rebelled finally and
she had fought down and out of her
consciously functioning mind the de.
tails of her tragic passion, and even
reveled arrogantly in the sensation
Of deliverance from the slavery of
love.
simultaneously she was swept of
to see the great natural wonders OF
the American continent and they had
intoned the requiem.
The following autumn she returned
to Germany and paid her motl.er an
other brief visit.
There all was we'll. Frau Won
Niebuhr, who had not developed a
white hair aid whose Viennese maid
was a magician in the matter of
gowns and complexion, was enjoying
life and had a daring salon; that is

men did not wear uniforms nor pre-
fix the sacred Won.

she thought it wiser to Danish men

Countess Gisela Niebuhr is one
OF three daughters of a we'll
known Junker family OF Prussia

entefs a German university, gets
a degree in letters, and goes to
America as companion to the
children of q rich American.

Wrote Satire On U. S.

Although HIS income was minute
he boasted a father of note in the
University Of Leipzig, and his
mother had travelled and written a
scathing satire on the United States
of America.
He had not n grain of originality
or imagination, but he, too, was
taking the course in dramatic art,
and reading for that degree without
whose magic letters he could not
hope to take his place in the world
of art to which his parts entitled
him. He met Gisela in the lecture
room and Immediately became her
cavalier.
At first Gisela epdeavored to get
rid of him by an icy front, but this
he took for feminine coquetry and
his own front was serene. As he
had made up his mind to be
dramatist merely because the career
appealed acutely to his itching am
bition, so did he in drc course
make up his mind to marry this
handsome brunette (what hair he

nounced, and, not to appear too seri-
Gus, he smiled into her glowing face.
She looked happy enough to encour-
age a man far less fatuous than
Georg Zottmyer.
"Yes?" Gisela's eyes had wan
dered to the nearest group of stu
dents and she was wondering if they
might not have made handsome men

heal instead of excoriating them
with salt and pepper. Most Ger

gance"-; "a stupidity that will be
the ruin Of Germany in the end!"
she exclaimed one day in a sudden
moment if illumination, for, as a
matter Of fact, she had given little
thought to politics. However, she
recalled her typical papa.
Of course they talked their Ger
man souls inside out. At least Net
tlebeck did. AS time went on,
Gisela used her frankness as a mask
while her soul lodged in panic.
She Had Many Flirtations.
She believed him to be lightly
and agreeably in love with her (she
had witnessed many summer flirta-
tions at Bar Harbor, and been laid
siege to by more than one young
American, idle, enterprising, charm
ing and quite irresponsible), and
she was appalled, at her own ca
pacity for love and suffering, the
complete rout of her theories, based
on harsh experience, before the
ancient instinct to unleash her
womanhood at any cost.
She plunged into serious study
Of the country, which she had here
tofore absorbed with her avid men,
tai conduits, and read innumerable
newspapers, magazines, calculating
literature Of all sorts, besides the
best histories Of the nation and the
Illuminating biographies of its dis
tinguished men in politics and the
arts.
She was deeply responsive to the
freedom of the individual in this
great whirling heterogeneous land,
and as her duties at any time were
the reverse of onerous, it was i'm
perative to keep her consciousness
as detached from her inner life as
possible.
But at the back Of her mind was
always the haunting terror that he
would never come again, that he
was really more attracted to Ann
Rowland than he knew; and Of all |
American women who Gisela had
met she admired Miss Rowland pre-
eminently.

Next Episode Amusing.

Inc next episode TO her grim hu-
NOR was wholly amusing, although
it played its part in her developing
sense Of revolt against the attitude
Of the German male to the sex of
the mother that bore him.
She returned to Munich after a
month in Berlin, for by this time
she had made up her mind to write,
and the city by the Isar was the
most beautiful in the world to write
and TO dream in. Moreover, she
wished to attend the lectures on
drama at the university.
The four years in America, during
which she had, in spite of her SEN
timental pre-occupation. studied dill
gently every phase that passed be-
fore her keen critical vision, an
alyzed every person she had met,
and passed many of her evenings
in the study Of the best contempo-
rary fiction, had, associated with the
spur of her own upheaval, developed
her imagination, and her head was
full of unwritten stories. They were
highly realistic, of course, as became
a modern German, but unmistakablv
dramatic.
She attended the lectures, prac-
ticing on short stories meanwhile,
devoting most of her effort to be-
coming a stylist, that she might at
tain immediate recognition whatever
her matter.
She lived in a small but comfort
shls hotel, for not only had she

marks of secret wealth in spite Of
the fact that she lived in a small
hotel. AS time went on, Gisela re-
signed herself and put his little ego
under her microscope.
His wooing was methodical. He
not only walked home with her
! after every lecture, but he gave her
series of teas in his high little
flat, and he really did know
people"
His parental introductions had
given him the entree to the profess
sional circles, and he cultivated So
ciety both semi-fashionable and
ultra-literary. He knew no one
who had not "arrived."
Proposed in the Snow.
He chose an unpropitious day for
tentative declaration of his inten-
tions. 1t was very cold. While
mufflers protected his outstanding
ears, a gray woolen scarf was wound
about his long neck and almost COW
cred his tight little mouth. He wore
mitts and wristlets, and his nose
was crimson.
Gisela, in a new set of furs, sent
her for Christmas by Mariette, and
smart gown of wine-colored cloth,
looked radiant. Her dark eyes shone
with joy in the cold electric air of
that high plateau, her cheeks were
red, her warm full-lipped mouth was
parted over her even white teeth.
They walked from the university
down the great Leopoldstrasse, one
Of the finest streets in Europe,
toward the Cafe Luitpold, where he
had invited her to drink coffee.
There was little conversation dur
ing that brisk walk. He was frozen,
and she was not thinking of him at
all. At the cafe he selected an al
cove as far from the noisy groups
of students as possible. All the
"trees" were hung with colored caps
and the atmosphere was dense with
smoke.
Zottmyer, who, after all, was
young, soon thawed out in the warm
room, and when he had cheered his
interior with large cup of hot cof-
fee and lit a cigarette, he brought
up the subject of matrimony.
He had no intention of proposing
in these surroundings, but it was
time to pave the way-or set the
pattern Of the tiling; he cultivated
the divergent phrase.

Not A Seductive Beauty.

She was not only beautiful in the
grand manner but she possessed in
! tellect as distinguished from the
surface brightness" Of so many Of
her countrywomen, and had made
a deep impression upon even the
superlatively educated German girl
when they had CHANGED to meet and
talk at children's picnics at Bar Har-
Dor, or when the triumphant young
beauty ran up to the nursery in town
to bring a message to the little Bo-
lands from her sisters. 1t was true
that hers was not the seductive type
Of beauty, that her large gray eyes
were cool and appraising, her fine
skin quite without color, and her soft
abundant hair little darker than
Franz's own, but she could be femin-
Inc and charming when she chose
and she would be a wife in whom
even a German would experience a
secret and swelling pride.
What chance had she-she-Gisela
Doring?
There were days and weeks, dur
ing that second winter, when she
was tormented by a sort OF sub
hysteria, stifled voice in the region
Of her heart threatening to force It's
way out and Shrek
There we're times when she gave
way TO despair, and thought of her
vigorous youth with a shudder, and
at other times she was SO angry and
humilisted at her surrender and
secret chaos, that she was on the
point more than once OF breaking
definitely with Franz Eettlebeck, or
even Of going back to Germany.
Leaped Over Life's Pitfalls.
II he missed Wednesday. or fall

house at night and paced Central

Then he would come and her

enjoy the meager portion of hap

dreams.

even larger cheque at parting.
Again Heads Students Life.
In Munich she was once more
Gisela Doring, once more led the
student lie. There are liberties even
for people of rank in Munich, and
many mobiles, exasperated with the
rigid class lines of Berlin and other
German capitals, move there, and,
while careful to attend court func-
tions, make intelligent friends in all
sets.
They are, or were, the happiest
people in Germany. Here Gisela
could sit alone in cafe by the hour
reading the illustrated papers and
smoking with her coffee, attracting
no attention whatever. She Joined
parties of students during the sum-
mer and tramped the Bavarian Alps,
and she danced all night at student
balls.
Nevertheless, she managed to
hold herself somewhat aloof and it
was understood that she did not live
the ''lOose" life of the "artist class"
She was much admired for her
stately beauty and her style, and if
the young people of that free and
easy community were at times in
clined to resent u manifest differ
ence, they succumbed to her mag
netism, and respected her obvious
devotion to a high literary ideal.
1t was during her second winter
that she met Georg Zottmyer.
He was a tall, narrow, angular
young man with a small clipped
head and pre-eminent ears. His
narrow face was set with narrower
features, and his eyes were verv

"And, Of course, my wife must be
Of good birth, as GOOD as my own.
I should never dream of marrying
even a Venus in this Bohemian class.
That sort Of thing is all very

He waved his hand, and arched an
eyebrow, and Gisela inferred she was
to take quite a number Of amours
for granted; much. for instance, as
she would those of a handsome Of
ficer who sat alone at the next table
and who looked infinitely bored with
love and longing for war.
"She must-it goes without say

ais that all?"
"0h, she must be affectionate and
a good housekeeper, but most Ger
man women have the domestic vir-
tues. Naturally, she must have per.
feet health. l detest women with

Gisela had been leaning forward,
her elbows on the table, her little
square chin on her hands, and if
there were wondering contempt in
her eyes he saw only their brilliance
and fixed regard.
"And what, may l ask, do you
purpose to give her in return for all
that?"
Refused to Be Bound.
He fiicked the ashes from his
and the gesture was quite
without affectation. What has that
to do with it?"
"Well - only you think, then, !

He escorted her to her hotel, al
though he gazed longingly down
his own street as they passed it.
His head felt overburdened and It
was awkward manipulating a hand
kerchief with mitts.
Within half a block of the hotel
Gisela, who had been walking |
rapidly, bending little against the

to her stately height.
Cold as he was he thrilled slightly
as he reflected that she possessed
real distinction; almost she might
be acknowledgements, quite. He
tingled less agreeably as he recalled
a snub administered by a great lady /
with whom he had presumed to at
tempt conversation at the house Of
4 liberal little Russian baroness.
This woman would snub any hoch-
who presumed to snub
him in the future.
"Herr Zottmyer," said Gisela, and
ler tones were as crisp as the air
blowing down from the Alps, "you
