ALT NUREMBERG | By ELLIS BROWNE. j j Professor Feldman brought his jchummy car to a standstill before the (door of the inn. Alt Nuremberg, with ?its concrete block towers and spiked 'iron-bound oaken gates, announced ?hospitably on a board outside that it iserved food and soft drinks. Another placard pictured an amber brown mug covered with a generous froth that appealed more strongly to his dusty palate, and, descending with haste, he was soon inside the garden waiting to be served at a little white-clothed iron table near a vine-covered wall. A deep, steady roar told of the prox iimity of the ocean, and the professor waited impatiently, as he wished to finish his journey and have a cooling dip in the surf before time to dress for dinner. The thought of dinner and evening brought a flush of happiness, for he had kept his car seaward for four hun dred miles because Betty Pershing was ar Ocean Point with her family. And an invitation from Mrs. Pershing one ?day when summer outings were being discussed was not to be overlooked. "You must come to Ocean Point ?when we are there, professor," she had insisted. "The golf course there is per fect and the sailing is fine." "Yes, indeed, Feldman," agreed Tom Pershing, heartily, slapping the other jovially on the back. "Thank you!" he had smiled appre ciatively. "You certainly offer induce mente. And you, Miss Betty? Have I your approval?" "Certainly, professor. I was just wondering how we could get along through the summer without you!" Betty answered brightly. "The die is cast I go," he an nounced gratefully. "I assure you I shall do my best to be useful. I shall stock up on fresh new jokes for rainy days, and make proteges of all the old ladies and-" he stopped. He had caught Bettys eye and hers dropped In pretty confusion, for his eyes were saying only too plainly that she was the cause of his gratitude. ?I So the Pershings had gone and the professor had followed. The professor changed his mind and ordered orangeade. After all, Alt Nu remberg wasn't Heidelberg and he was no longer a German student. Those were good old days, though, i That was where he had met Tom Per shing twenty years ago. Now he was nearly forty. Heidelberg! How far away-how long ago it seemed ! And pretty little Elsa, flaxen-haired and ?demure! That had been quite an af fair. When he came to America he told her he would make his fortune and return when be was rich, i He finished his sandwich and got np te go. More people had come in and a little orchestra bad come from some where and started to play. The curtain at the rear of the little stage parted and four singers came out dressed in native costume and picked np the air ot the players. The profes sor started to his feet, for the flaxen hairea soprano in her velvet bodice was none other than the girl he had been thinking about-Elsa! He sat staring, confused, his thoughts a chaos. The song ended and the singers Sat down listlessly. ; The professor made his way to the platform and Elsa lowered her eyes from the top of the wall. "Emmet I Du Emmet!" she cried. "Yes. Elsa. It's Emmet! Can you come down?" "Yes," she answered, giving him her hand and jumping to the ground. They sat down and he scanned her face closely. "It's odd to find you here. How long have you been In Ameri ca?" "Sixteen years." "Heavens! And I not to know lt. What"-heavily-"what did you come for?" He dreaded her answer. She laughed, "i had to. My hus band came." "So you are married!" with relief. "Sure I am. Fritz and I are doing fine. We have a cafe in Jersey City and come here in summer. This Is a good money-maker. But tell me about yourself. You're a fine-looking man, Emmet. No one would think you were a day over thirty. Are you married, ana are you making plenty of money?" She leaned over the table and scanned him closely for earmarks of prosperity. There was no diamond in ihis tie and none on his hands. She shook her head. "You must do better and get rich. Come and talk to my Fritz. 'Maybe he can put you in the -way of something!" Elsa, with her dreamy blue eyes and cheeks oi roses and cream, had ?no sou' above the silver quarters that ?fell into Fritz's money box! He un derstood now why he had not gone back to her He thought of sensitive high-strung Betty, her dark under standing eyes and her quick sympa lthetic smile. He got up and held out Tils hand. "No, thank you, Elsa i There are pother things beside money, but I will .come and see you again. I'm not mar ried yet, but wish me luck, Elsa. I'm ?going to ask her tonight." She nodded. "That's good, Emmet ?I do wish you luck. But hurry up and get rich. America ls a great country," as he shook her hand warmly and hurried away. "And they say Americans are merce* nary," he exclaimed as he started the engine. "Betty, dear, be kind I" (Copyright, 1916, by the McClure Newspa per Syndicate.)
