Gretchen was ushered in.

But Herbeck is right. You shall marry when you will.” The knock at the valet was again “I will have my revenge!” stubborn- 1y. “I would that I could make it so. But there is a penalty for being placed written law.” “Heaven did not write it,” she re- half audlhly. I ever asked one personal favor. But I do so now. Do not send for Ducwitz tonight. See him in the morning. This is no time for haste. You will throw the army into Jugendheit. and there will follow a bloody war.” “Your hlghness." replied Hex-beck. “I have worked long and faithfully in your service.

He was a wide ower and shared the ample lodge with the undergardeners and their familia. He was a man or brooding moods. and there was no laughter in his withered heart. He adjusted his heavy specta- cles and held the note slantingly to- ward the candle. A note or a letter was a singular event in Herman’s life. This note, left by the porter of the Grand hotel, moved him with surprise. It requested that be present himself at 8 o’clock at the office or the hotel audasktobedirectedtotheroomot Hans Grumbach, whoever he might be. He decided to go. Certainly this man Grumbach did not urge him with- out some definite purpose. The con- cierge at the hotel, who knew Her- mann, conducted him to room 10 on the eutresole. Hermann knocked. A voice bade him enter. “You wished to see me?” “Yes,” oflering a chair. “You are Hermann Breunnerv” be- gan Grumbacb, “and you once had a brother named Hans.” Hermann grew rigid in his chair. “I pave no brother." "“You did have." Hermann’s head dropped. “My God. yes, I did have a brother. but he was a scoundrel.” In all this fortune amounted to lit- tle more than $400. but to Gretchen. frugal and thrifty. to whom a single crown was a large sum. to her it rep- resented wealth.

The duke was the first to relieve the awkwardness of the moment. “Count. has it not occurred to you that we stand in the presence of two very beautiful young women?” Herbeck scrutinized Gretchen with care. Then be compared her with the princess. The duke was right. And the thing which struck him with most force was that. while each possessed a beauty individual to herseit, it was not opposite, but strangely alike. “Perhaps he was a scoundrel. He is â€"dead!" softly. “God's will be done!" But Her- mann’s face turned lighter. “As a boy he loved you." “And did I not love him?" said Her- mann fiercely. “Did I not worship that boy. who was more like a son to me than a brother?" “I knew your brother. I knew him well. He was not a scoundrel, only weak. He went to America and be- came successful in business. He fought with the north in the war. He was not a coward. He did his fighting bravely and honorably. He died facing the enemy, and his last words were of “And I shall add to it another thou- sand.” said Hildegarde. “Give them to me. father." you. He begged your forgiveness B. Implored that you forget that black moment. He was young. he said, and they offered him a thousand crowns. In a moment of despair he tell." “Despair! Did he confess?" An icy shiver ran up and down Gretchen's spine, a shiver of wonder, delight, terror. A thousand crowns! A fortune! “Did he tell you to whom he sold his honor?” ‘That he never knew. A gypsy from the hills came to him.'so he said."- “From Jugendhelt?’ “1 my my knewm. He no “Take them. little goose girl.” said the duke. “Your ship has come in. This will be your dowry.” Herbeck was a strong man. He was always far removed from tears, but there was a mist over the usual clarity of his vision. He ripped down the flap. It was only a simple note to her serene highness begging hernia give the inclosed banknotes to one-Gretch- en, who lived in the Krumerweg. The notes represented a thousand crowns. princess. “What ls it?” “She is dead. highness, and I found this letter under her pillow.” Herbeck took the envelope. “Dead?" Hildegarde’s eyes filled. “Who is dead?" demanded the duke. “Emma Schultz. father. Oh. I know you will forgive me for this deception. She has been in Dreiberg for a month dying, and I have often stolen out to see her.” She let her tears fall unre- strained. The duke stared at the rug.

LINDSAY” POST. CHAPTER VIII. SUGAR MlNDEN TOT WAS Minden, April 13â€"The members of Mr. T. J. Archer’s family were very much excited one day last week when their little daughter, seven years old narrowly escaped drowning. She was coasting on a little hill near the river, and when her sleigh began to approach the water she threw her- self off, but the sleigh went into the river. Her mother went to Mr. Bak- er’s to get him to recover the sleigh when it had gone that far, ‘but the child followed along the shore think- ing her sleigh would come near the shore, and she could get it herself. While running along the shore a snow bank gave way with her and she fell into the water shoulder deep, but succeeded in climbing out without much difficulty. The chill and exer- tion was too much for her, and she became exhausted before reaching the house. When discovered she could not speak, and was quite unconscious for MRS. J. MURCHISON Islay, 'April 122â€"The residents of this community deeply regret the news of the death of the late Mrs. John Murchison, of Saskatchewan. Her maiden name was Miss Maggie McKay, daughter of the late Andrew and Mrs. McKay, 91- Glenarm. Deceas- ed was well known in this vicinity, and highly esteemed. The sympathy of the many friends of Mr. Murchison in this district is extended to him, and also to the family of deceased in their sad bereavement.

OBITUARY NEARLY DROWNED therms A Shelter for Lindsay, which is a crying necessity, gives promise of being an assured fact, as a result of last night’s meeting. Great credit is due the indefatigable secretary of the society, Mrs. Sharpe, whose persist- ent efforts along this line give pro- mise of being crowned with success. That such an! institution is necessary those who are closely identified with child saving work can testify. Innum- erable cases, pathetic and deplorable in their nature are encountered by the Society right- along, but the work has been handicade to a. great extent owing to the lack of an institution where unfortunate chilâ€" dren can be temporarily housed until suitable homes are provided. The matter of .procuring a Chil- dren’s Shelter was discussed and it was the opinion of the meeting that such an institution would greatly aid the society in their work and enable them to care for more children and to do it more efficiently. A commit- tee comprising Dr. White, John Rog- ers, George Rae, Mrs. E. E. Sharpe, Mrs. G. A. Milne, Mayor Wood, Ald. McClory and Magistrate Moore was appointed to 'meet the committee in charge of the old Home for the Aged fund. It is proposed to appro- priate this money, some $3,000, for the use of the Children’s Aid Society in procuring a shelter. It has not decided whether to build or buy a suitable building. Some of those pre sent thought that a building costing about $2000 would meet the imme- diate needs of the society. The sec- retary was instructed to write to neighboring towns and ascertain the plans on which other shelters are run. A number of citizens have of- fered to assist in furnishing the shel- ter. The two committees will in all probability meet in the course of a week or ten days. Last evening the Children’s Aid So- ciety met in the council chamber and transacted routine business. The at- tendance was large. A number of needy cases were discussed and some action will be taken to relieve thel situation. WILL LINDSAY HAVE CHILDREN’S SHELTER?
