Th« day was close at hand. Presently a relief train would arrive And through this he might continue his Journey. As he moved about tn the early dawn, too restless to remain quiet, Pad noticed that he was being fol­ lowed up and down by a figure that limped badly, yet walked with the stiff air of a soldier. It was the veteran, now in the secret service of Bismarck, determined not to lose sight of his man. Paul was rather charmed by such pertinacity, and resolved to make it tui easy for the old fellow as possible. The relief train arrived at last, the •wounded were placed aboard, and the unhurt had the privilege of finding places as best they could. Nor was Paul at all sorry to leave the scene of the disaster, for though It had freed him of the unwelcome at­ tentions of " the two keepers, its un­ pleasant associations would always liager in his memory. One who has passed through such an experience can understand how he felt. The wounded were left at the near­ est town, where they could be properly taken care of. Paul often wondered what became of the stout pretended merchant, since he •eemed to have vanished in thin air ttt the time of the catastrophe--he •light be running yet for all the Am­ erican eould say. Rhinelander was glad when the •pires of Berlin appeared in view. Once in the capital, as the day was drawing near its close. Paul deter­ mined Vo seek an hotel and defer hi9 mission nntil the morrow. The veteran was the old man of the •ea, who clung so tenaciously to the Moulders of Sinbad the Sailor--he was aot to b£ dislodged either through cajolery or threats. Compelled to make the most of a Cmd bargain, the American frankly Invited his shadow to share the fcackney droachky in which he intend­ ed going from the station to the hotel, trhich opportunity the other eagerly seized. Berlin was unusually thronged for Qhe season of the year, and soldiers Were to be met with in squads and companies at every turn, arriving and departing--yet it might be noticed Ib?.f ->11 who quitted the capital went toward the south. It was a wonderful sight to see these two great nations pushing their legions forward toward a common line «f demarcation, the Rhine, and fac­ ing them there at several points long fcefore the first tocsin of war had Bounded. But shrewd Bismarck knew full well what untoward influences were mov­ ing Louis Napoleon, and that there •ould be no other settlement of the grave questions between them save by . the arbitrament of arms. . Hence, •very nyave he made was done with the full assurance that it would presently frove to be one of the stepping stones to Paris. And Bismarck made no mistake When be played his pawns with such telling effect that Von Moltke was afterward enabled to sweep the chess board. For more than half a century had the Germans awaited a chance to pay back the scores of Napoleon Bona­ parte's time, but the hour was at hand. Paul had much to- think of that ••ening. He even forgot that the veteran con­ tinued to hover near by, keeping an •ye apon all his movements. That those he had left In the univer­ sity town were much in his thoughts was a foregone conclusion. When would he see them again? His heart went out to Karl, whom he loved almost as though he were a brother--and then there was Beatrix, his sister, and last but not least, Hil- degarde. The recollection gave him a pain, because clouds seemed to hover about their sky, and he could not see clearly what the end would be--yet it were certainly better to have known this charming girl and lost her than that they had never met--he was the better for the experience, it exalted his Ideas of womanly virtues, and, though the probe brought keen 4>ain, he ex­ pressed no wish that his steps had turned other than thither. Thus he considered as the night drew on, seated Just outside the hotel, and watching the animated scene upon the famous street known far and wide as Unter den Lnden. Unconscious of the surprise in store tor him, he idly smoked and pondered upon his plans for the morrow, when he expected to seek an audleilee with i the great man, who, many years be­ fore had been a schoolmate with his , father; and all the while his eyes me- I chanically followed those who saun- I tered to and fro. Thus, amid the press of gaily dress­ ed women, and fierce, swaggering mlli- i tary heroes, he noticed a droschky drawn up at the curb from which a yellow-haired young man bounded, and Paul uttered a cry of surprise, not un- mingled with consternation, as he rec­ ognized his friend and chum of the Rhine Korps, Karl Von Stettin. CHAPTER XIV. Dead to the World. Paul hastened to give Karl a cordial welcome, asking what on earth had brought him to Berlin. *'Ah!" returned Karl, "there is news, great news, though Berlin does not ' eeem to know it yet. Louis Napoleon \ ; has deeUred war on Germany." ® Paul held his breath and stared hard. struck Paul as strained, and anxiously Inquired if he had brought! and Karl must attend to. be speedily formd for both Me* jlf and Karl, if be had to attach them persoa- ally to himself as aides. That vu enough for Paul. He renewed his protestations of al­ legiance to the double eagles of Prus­ sia. and went out from his interview with the Crown Prince, his neart filled with love ana loyalty toward that sin­ gularly attractive man who had once been the boy friend of his own father in the days long since passed. Paul knew he would deceive his or­ ders in good time, and meanwhile he i there were several necessary things he bad news from Heidelberg. "The truth you must know at once, no matter how it cuts. Heroic meas­ ures are best. Prepare, then, for a shock, my friend. Some one you be­ lieved dead has appeared on the scene." "Who Is It?" asked Paul, slowly. "One who, if she be all you have believed, would have done better to have remained dead to the world at least." Paul started as if struck a wicked blow. "My God! Do you mean--my mother?" His companion slowly nodded his flaxen head. , "Alive--and I fondly believed the grave had forever buried her sad secret. Alive, and she has returned to Bea­ trix?" Paul dropped his head into his hand wearily, and seemed to be wrapped in deep thought. One, two, three minutes crept by, and Karl made no attempt to break in upon his sad reflections. At lengtn Paul raised his head. "I am ready to hear what you know, Karl, although I can perceive that it is far from pleasant news. Make it as brief as you possibly can, consistent with the facts." "That I will, and I want you to know, dear friend and brother; that I suffer with you. "When I had seen you off on the train I found my way to the stage of Beatrix and the lady with whom she lived. I speedily found a way to gain an entrance to the parlor, where pres­ ently Beatrix came with tears in her pretty tyes, to tell me of the strange thing that had happened--ana to say farewelj. "Th*>i very evening one had come whom she had for years believed dead --come to her from Paris in the dark robes oT a nun, and in whom she rec­ ognized her once dearly loved mother, who had learned that you were in Eu­ rope, doubtless seeking your sister with the intention of taking her away, and this she seemed to dread. So they were making hasty preparations to go at once to Paris." Paul ground his teeth. > - "How wretchedly unrortunate--to Paris of all places, when, in a few months, the forces of King Wilhelm will be hammering at the gates. If 1 had but been there to have prevented it." "I doubt whether you could, as Be­ atrix is not yet of legal age and still amenable to her mother's rule " Again Paul seemed to stare into vacancy. He was thinking of the past, think­ ing of that dearly beloved father who had suffered so keenly tr.rough this one fatal fault of the woman who had borne his name and been the mother of his children. That father had borne his cross In silence and never had Paul heard him curse the fate that made him an exile from his peo­ ple. What was his duty? Thus the day wore on. Paul was no longer worrying about the designs of the countess. He did not imagine Berlin held any dangers for one who, like himself, carried the personal autograph of the Crown Prince, and was already in a manner identified with the army. Still there were elements about the existence of which he knew nothing, working for his downfall. The knowledge was brought upon him suddenly and with alarming force. Karl and himself had dined at Spar- guapani'8 on Unter den Linden, and separatedupon leaving the famous restaurant, each having some minor business of Importance to transact. Paul was enjoying a cigar as he saHfttered along, and taking consider­ able satisfaction from the weed, as only a man may who has dined well. The hour had grown late, though one would never suspect it, Judging from the streets, which were still thronged with a crowd consisting of citizens and soldiers, singing patriotic son§« and uniting in occasional hoarse cheers, as some well known military man appeared upon the strasse hurry­ ing to keep an appointment at some night council. While Paul was forcing his way through one of these crowds, forming a cheveux de frise with his elbows to keep off boarders, he felt a hand pluck at his sleeve. The man made a re­ spectful salutation. "Pardon, is it Herr Rhinelander I address?" Paul replied that he had certainly hit the mark. Then he saw with satisfaction that the other moved his hand toward his inner pocket. "Ah! I have a communication for you. Herr Rhinelander," he said sol­ emnly. Of course--orders to report at once and accompany the Crown Prince to the border, where the hostile armies faced each other like giants eager for the fray. Paul's blood tingled with expecta­ tion. The rustle of the paper seemed to conjure up pictures of bivouac and battle--at least, it aroused anticipa­ tions of speedy action, and this pros­ pect pleased his restless spirit. (To be continued.) Persons, Plaices and Things N W STYLE TUABINE DESTROYER. SSw>*t H';: "Then it is war. He has had the rash- | ness to take the fatal step which will result in his ruin." Paul wondered how the sudden news . would affect his own mission to the capital. Could he now gain an interview with (he prince? That commander would have his time fully occupied, Paul knew, still he hoped for the best. Then something in Karl's manner CHAPTER XV. Since woman who sinned were for­ given in Palestine when H>2 walked the earth, had Paul Rhinelander, merely a poor, weak, erring mortal himself, any. right to refuse to forget, especially when the sinner was his own mother, and years of atonement had witnessed her repentance? Thus he put the question to himself, and as he wrestled, his better nature assumed the upper turn, so that he came out with a firm determination to sooner or later seek t^»s mother, and bring her the message of forgiveness he had heard his father mutter as he passed away. He felt better when he had deter­ mined on this step, and pressed Karl for further news. Without further preliminary the latter said: "Hildegarde is taking lessons to be a nurse." "What?" "A hospital nurse." "And go with the army to war?" "Just so. I admire her for It, God bless her brave heart," declared Karl. Paul was visibly distressed. "To think of a gentle girl like her being exposed to the horrors of a bat­ tlefield--it is monstrous." "She does not think so--she Is will­ ing to go wherever braya German sol­ diers hew a way. It 13 fate, my Paul, and whether you fancy the Idea or not matters very little. If, by the kind­ ness of Providence, both of you come out of the affair safe ahd sound, per­ haps I may be-permitted to dance at your wedding." But Paul only shook his head. The future looked too dark and for­ bidding for him to think of attaining such happiness--he could not conceive that It lay in store for him. The next day marked an era in Ber­ lin. The feeling of suspense was gone, and people knew the worst--they could talk openly now without getting into trouble, and discuss the problem which Bismarck had undertaken to solve with sword and bayonet after all manner [ of diplomacy had failed. Paul sallied forth. So did the old veteran, cane and all. There were many sturdy difficulties In the way, but ingenuity, together with a well-directed supply of silver groschens and an occasional interview with successive persons in authority at length gained him what he sought. When he found himself in the pres­ ence of the Crown Prince Frederick, Paul was a trifle awed. There were many generals in -the room, men of stern mien, who .seemed consulting the plans which Bismarck and Von Moltke explained. The Crown Prince, bearded and boot­ ed, and looking every inch the soldier he was by birth and breeding, came toward the young man, holding out his hand, and with a smile of wel­ come on his pleasant face. Paul proffered his request and Fred­ erick at once assured the enthusiastic young American that places should '*% * WHERE ARROWHEADS GROW. Professor's Argument Not Based on Sound Principle®. When vacation comes, Dr. Branner, the head of the Stanford geological de­ partment, hies himself far away from all things pedagogical to the remote fastnesses of the mountains, and there studies the formation of the rocks and reads the life history of earth in the deposits of the ages. Last vacation he was in the Sierras. He had as his guide a man indigenous to the soil who had never been 20 miles from t^e nome of his childhood. He looked with much amusement and scorn upon Dr. Branner and his assist­ ants, and saw nothing in the work that was of interest. To him the stu­ dents seemed more like good men gone daft. One day Mr. Branner located an old Indian burying ground. In digging be came upon some choice arrow heads. Thinking to test his guide's geological as well as his ethnological knowledge, the doctor said: "Elijah, do you know how these ar­ row heads came here?" "Growed thar," said the native, with great positiveness. "Nonsense! If you were to take an arrow head and put It on your table and leave it there for a year's time, do you think it would grow." "Tain't no nonsense, nuther," said Elijah. "If you was to take a potato and put H on your table, and leave it there fur a year, do you think it would grow?"--San Francisco Wave. SULTAN LOVES MUSIC. Grand Pis no* Pnrchaicd for thltadlei of the Harem. It will be news to most oeople that the Sultan of Turkey is an enthusiastic musical amateur. The statement, how­ ever, is nevertheless true. A well-known Anglo-German firm has just sent his majesty two more grand pianos. This firm has already supplied him with many such instru­ ments, but the Sultan still unsatis­ fied. He does not play himself, but some of the ladies of his harem do, and, of course, many brilliant pianist^ perform before him. But if he does not play himself, he Is at any rate fond of sing­ ing to music. The Shah is another lover of musical Instruments. The same firm has also supplied him with grand pianos. His majesty takes the greatest interest, too, in his band, and he is a keen collector of musical instruments and is said to be a connoisseur in fiddles. Strangely enough, too, those huge mechanical structures which are so commonly found in Germany and Russia, and which purport to be organ, orchestra, and brass band In one, are very popu­ lar both with the Sultan and the Shah. Another curious fact is that a grand piano has just been bought by an Arab sheik at Khartoum. It is to be played by his chief wife. Constructed In Eii(l an Yard', Ur«*ljr as Mir Kxpcriment. There was launched on the Tynei recently a torpedo-boat destroyer which is designed especially for steam turbine machinery, being generally of the same type as the Viper and the Cobra. The new vessel is named the Velox, and has not been built to the order of any government The hull has been constructed by Messrs. R. & W. Hawthorne, Leslie & Co., at the^ Hebburn yard on the Tyne, while the machinery has been made at the works of the Parsons Marine Steam Turbine company at Wallsend-on-Tyne. The vessel is 210 feet long, twenty-one feet wide and twelve f^et six inches mold­ ed depth. Special attention has been paid to the conditions necessary to secure longitudinal strength. The main propelling machinery consists of two independent sets of Parsons tur­ bine engines, one high pressure en­ gine and one law pressure engine be­ ing on each side of the vessel. This gives four turbines, each of which has its own line of shafting, and as each shaft carries two propellers, there are eight , propellers in* all.--London Times.

THtf PLAYING OF POINT EUCHRE. flystom of Scoring la Pr*frM*lve and Ita Advantages. Advocates of progressive euchre re­ form are now advocating a change in the system of scoring the game. They beiieve that the score should be com­ puted by points and not by games, as is generally done now. Point euchre, they say, is recog­ nized by euchre players as the only fair way in which the game can be played, as each player receives credit for all points made at each game. It can be played at any progressive euchre, either at home or in clubs. Excitement begins with the first hand and continues until the last hand Is played. Many objectionaoie features of the old game are overcome in point euchre, as fast playing is one of the essentials of the game. A point euchre tally card Is num­ bered from 1 to 120. Each player has a tally card and each receives the number of points made at the end of each game. For example, in the first game at the head table one couple make 5 points, the other side 4 points. The cards of those having § are each punched 5 and the other are punched 4. Winners move as in the older game. All other players receive punches for the number of points they have made, while the head table playerB were making their 5 and 4 some play­ ers at the other tables may have made as many as 10 points. Should the head table players at any time score more .than 5 points they get credit for all they make over 5, as, for instance, if lone hands are played to count 4, two lone hands would make a possible 8. The head table players should al­ ways play as rapidly as. possible, to' prevent the other tables from making high scores. All rules of euchre ap­ ply to this game. At the end of the two hours' play­ ing the highest number of points made would determine the winners of prizes.--New York Sun. ALL SALARIES PAYABLE IN PELTS. How Officer* of the State of T*no«MM Were Remunerated. Probably few people know that the original name of tbe state of Tennes­ see was Franklin or that in 1788 the salaries of the officers of this com­ monwealth were paid in pelts, but the following is a correct copy of the law: "Be it enacted by the General As­ sembly of the state of Franklin, and it is hereby enacted, by authority of the same, that from and after the 1st day of January, 1788. the salaries of this oommonweath be as follows, to- wit: 'His Excellency, the Governor, per annum, 100 deer skins. "His Honor, the Cnief Justice, 500 deer skins. "The secretary to his Excellency, the Governor, 500 raccoon skins. "County Clerk, 300 beaver skins. "Clerk of the House of Commons, 200 raccoon skins. "Members of the Assembly per diem, turee raccoon skins. . "Justice's fee tor serving a warrant, one mink skin." At that time the state of Franklin extended to the east bank of the Mis­ sissippi River and on the west bank was that great unknown forest region of Louisiana. It was then a "terra in­ cognito." save a few canoe landings and Indian trading posts on the river banks. It was known as the district of Louisiana. The state of Franklin, which be­ came Tennessee in l/9t>, was almost as little known. The now great city of Memphis was a mere trading post, and was not laid out as a village until 1820. Pelts were as plentiful in those days as pennies, and much better distribut­ ed for purposes of currency and bar­ ter. The pioneers were perhaps as happy and as well contented as is the average citizen now.--Arkansas Ga­ zette. Baby and the Bf'>nk«y. Babies are very little like monkeys, and we are least human when we are youngest. But by way of solace, and to save our self-conceit, If that has suffered, they assure us that, whereas the little monkeys grow less and less like humans every hour they , grow, our babies, turn their backs on the monkey type at the first squirm, and grow away from it hand over fist dur­ ing the whole of their protracted period of development. The monkey child's strength runs to Jaw and to length of limb,.and to agility and monkey ways, says narper's Magazine... The human child's nose asserts lt^ self, his brain grows and grows, and insists on having room to expand in, and his skull takes shape accordingly. He finds his legs and gradually puts them to use, though in some children strength comes to the legs very slow­ ly. The learned doctors assure us, too. that the period of upward develop­ ment in which the child grows more human all the time, and keeps putting distance between ^himself and thf monkeys, Is in infancy and early youth, and that presently upward evolution stops, and development be­ comes "an adaptation to the environ­ ment, without regard to upward zoo­ logical movement." The British Worker. This is an age of disillusion. It is not long since the British workman was considered to be without his peer throughout the world. If he were a navvy, he could eat more beef, drink more beer than anyone else on the face of the earth; aa a mechanic he was the hardest working and the most skilled; in agriculture he was unap- proached. He could lay more pricks, plow a straighter furrow, win more coal, carry heavier loads than could any of the less gifted inhabitants of all foreign countries put together. But of late there has been a reaction from these roseate views.--Engineering. Importance of Tattoo Mark*.
