SS, Wilhelm Ecsburger was a great
it muscular fellow of the village of
ion
nd A in Prussia, and an accom
the
red plished dancer and swordsman.
3& He had, however, accommodated
- himself to the comparatively
D sleepy valley in which be lived,
and needed a waking up. His
lather, with an old crony and
partner, Hans Hoferdahl, had
made and mended watches in the
old, dingy shop, where their fa
ther had filed and hammered be
hs fore them. Their life was about
as unvarying as the flat-faced
Stimneplece behind the cobwebs in
tbe show window.
* It chanced that various ripples
were beginning to come into the
rvalley to disturb the course of
nature. It was rumored that the
7' king was preparing for war, and
'such young men as Wilhelm
sit would be needed for the army.
wl Besides this, old Hans had caught
the emigration fever to America,
tie- and had sold whatever be had
eto sell, except his big pipe,
>u his flute, and his daughter Chris
a. tine. He sold his share in his
-shop to Wilhelm's father. Chris
tine wept at the departure, for
heold village had been very
dear to her, and her motber's
grave was there. The effect on
oUse Wilhelm was such that he rubbed
a-his great black eyes, and could
scarcely realize that the whole
thing was else than a dream.
Pretty soon, however, Wilhelm's
s eyes took note of a gloomy differ

ning To Wilhelm, after his father's
Adeath, the shop and everything in
tY it became distasteful. He tried to
kwork, but the very ticking of the
- watches was insufferably oppres
. sive, and the absence of' the two
ed at old men rendered confinement to
enthe place insu pportable. Wil

him. Napoleon had determined, t
in his old age, that he must fight V
the Germans, and the king h-d b
made his call for troops. Wil- I
helm was sure be loved his 'Va
derland,' and so was ready to leave y
the sleepy old village, but not c
without sadness, for he had been
so long in the locality that it v
was not surprising he had learned t
to love it.
There followed swift marching
comtortless camping and a good s
deal of very hard fighting. Be
ing big and strong and brave, and
every day growing more and
more intelligent, Wilhelm himself t
won glory-that is, three or four t
slight wounds, a medal, promo- t
tion, the compliments of his com- E
manding officer and the envy of 1
his comrades. The war was brief.
and before a great while he found r
himself his own master again, c
though mtill within the scope and F
control of army regulations, for I
no German of Wilhelm's age is c
ever beyond them, and he said to N
himself:
'Well, I loved the army. I know
I could love glory with all my v
heart. I think it must have been t
growing a good deal during the a
war. There is more room in it v
than I knew of, and yet is always y
full. 1 will go and take a look at %
the old village, and the house and c
the shop, and will listen to see if t
I can hear Christine's voice; if I
don't hear her, what then ? Well, t
[ think I will just ask my heart I
about it.'
All this time old Hans Hofer- v
:ahl had known very little of s
what had taken place in the vil
lage they had left behind them. -
They had written home to their n
ld neighbors, but very little in- t
ormation had come back to h
them. They had heard of old
Eesburger's death, and of Wil- n
helm's enlistment in the war, and a
t4at was nearly all. Hans had p
not landed on the shores of the c
new world a pauper, and tried to u
settle down as a man of property
End substance, and be happy.
'If poor old Ecsburger were
with me,' he said to Christine,
'I would be so happy.'
Christine said very little, but
her bright American home be
came dreary enough at times,
when she shut her eyes and let
her thoughts go back to the old
sleepy village. She listened very
silently whben her father said:
'I believe Wilhelm behaved 1
himself well in the army. There's
good blood in the Ecsburgers, andt
Wilhelm is a fine boy.'
'He must be a man by this 1
time,' said Christine. And then
she thought what a very tall, fine
looking man he must be, and how
well he would appear in his uni
form.4
But when after a while there
was news of peace, and they beard
that the army was going home to
be disbanded, old Hans Hoferdahl
grew strangely thoughtful, and
Christine tried in vain to arouse
him. One autumn morning he
said to her :
'All the other soldiers are going
home. I think it is pretty near
time for me to go too.'
'To Germany,father?' exclaimed
Christine, with a sudden light in
her eyes.
'No,' solemnly replied the old
man ; 'Germany is not the only
fatherland. I am a very old sol
dier, and think this is my last
campaign.'
Christine understood him then.
A few weeks later she found her
self sitting alone in the house,
wvhile the chilly winid that whistled
past the windows was freighted
with the first white harbingers of
tie winter. To her it seemed a
cold, forlorn and empty sort of a
world, and when her thoughts
wandered to the village where
she was born, she could but im
agine the old shop as closed and
the snowflakes beating against
the spider-webbed windows.
The door bell rang, but Chris
tine did not bear it. The servant
admitted somebody, but she did
not know it, until she was con
.eja of a heavy aten almost be

who disdains familiarity ; and
then, again, there is the confiden
tial customer, who, in buying
presents, discloses his whole fam
ily history.
For instance: a tall, stately
looking gentleman, wearing eye
glasses, entered a store, and, lean
ing back heavily on his dignity,
drawled :
'1 want to see some books-ah
-for a boy.'
'How old is the boy ?' asked the
clerk, who was in a hurry.
'Sah,' said the customer, '1 am
horrified at your brutal attempt,
sah, to pry into my family affairs.
Why don't you aik me how old
the eggs were I had for breakfast.
or what I paid for my gentle
man's underwear ? Suppose I
were to ask you what you paid a
month for your washing, and why
you haven't got a cleaner shirt on,
what would you say?'
'1 would say,' said the clerk,
'that your mother hadn't brought
my shirts home yet from the wash
because you bad borrowed one of
.them from her to disguise your
self for a masquerade; that's what
I would say.'
The aristocratic man walked
out as stately as he came in. He
was a customer who resents fa
miliarity.
The next customer was a lady.
She was evidently acquainted
with the clerk, and was very talk
ative and not in tkge least reserved.
She said hurriedly, without stop
ping to catch her breath:
'I just came out to buy some
thing for my old man; he has been
behaving himself first-rate; hasn't
disobeyed me in the least, and he
gets up regularly every mrorning

thought I would'ask your advice

'Don't you know what he
wants?'
'0, yes; I know what be wants.
He don't want any more false
teeth,' for he got a nice new set,
above and below, only last fall,
for $75, and he has got hair-dye
enough to last him until he gets
out-and there is no telling when
he is going to get out, for he fell
down the steps and sprained his
ankle-and you ought to hear
him swear-'
There are a great many custe
mers in the store and the clerk is
getting a little impatient. He
says:
