There is a striking' illustration in Das Buch fur Allé of the fact that it is not necessary to roam over the world £o find adventure. The German merchant of the story found it in his own peaceful house, in the quiet town of his birth. It happened on his daughter's wedding day, about sixty years ago. The happy father was alternately alternately welcoming ' the guests and bustling about attending to final details. details. In one of the halls he met a maid carelessly carrying a lighted candle without its holder. He did not rebuke her, as she was not one of the regular regular servants, but had only been brought in to help for the occasion. In a short time she returned from the cellar, her arms full of bottles, but with no candle. The absence of thé light sent a sickening thought sweeping sweeping over the merchant. Only the day before several barrels of" black powder powder had been stored in the cellar, and one of them had been opened in order to get a sample for a customer. "Where is that candle ? " he asked "her quickly, with his heart in his mouth. "I had my hands full and couldn't bring it up," the maid answered. "Where did you leave it?" "I stuck it in the black sand in the open barrel," she explained. But the merchant had not waited to WRIGLEYS is sealed -- like about it.
